Everyone out there still alive?

I'm taking off the hero thing for a week. You need something, call some other girl. [And then she slams down the phone. WELL THAT WAS RUDE. Call back and ask her what the hell her problem is?]

[Action; Grocery Store]

Charlie? [Guess who's doing his grocery store run for the family? Well, now that he has family that aren't apparently drones.]

What are you doing with all of that?

[brbgoing2russia]

[Wow you are like the 2nd to last person she wants to see right now]

Pizza rolls aren't invented yet. [good explanation]

[notasidedick]

[Dick just loves coming at the worst times you know?]

I guess that can be a bit of a downer, but I don't think that really explains as to why exactly you're hoarding a lot of pop and junk food.

Penny for your thoughts? [Or maybe he should offer some candy or junk food.]

[brbgoing2russia]

[She thinks about telling him. Then she decides that she really doesn't have to explain. She just has to say one thing.]

Babs.

[notasidedick]

Had a bad run in with her?

I think I'm still trying to get used to her being able to walk. [Which...he probably hasn't actually told her yet. Oops.] She's pretty young though. She doesn't know a lot of what's happened.

[brbgoing2russia]

Must be pretty cool that she remembers you. [Wow, passive aggressive much Charlie?]

[notasidedick]

[Wow Charlie. Don't throw your anger at him. He's known her since he was younger you know.]

She wouldn't want to have forgotten you. She's just from an earlier part in time. I'm sure she doesn't like not knowing everything we probably know.

[brbgoing2russia]

You don't get it. [WHO ELSE IS SHE SUPPOSED TO THROW IT AT?]

I just lost the only reason I had to go home.

[notasidedick]

[Why is he always the target? Does he have some bullseye on him?]

What does her being here have to do with the Babs you know back home? She'd know who you are if you went back home.

[brbgoing2russia]

We don't know how this place works. What if she goes home and doesn't want me in the future anymore? What if she never goes home and ends up in that machine in the dairy? What if this screws with the Babs back home? What if---

It's not like it matters. She got rid of me before I showed up here anyway. I don't think there's much left for me back there.

[notasidedick]

We can't keep asking about the what if's. We're stuck here, and that kind of thinking will just make you more bitter. But hey, you're probably talking to someone who's too optimistic for his own good.

[He ruffles your hair a bit.] You want help paying for your junk food splurge?

[brbgoing2russia]

No, it's cool, I'm just gonna bounce it all home.

Which uh. Would be totally illegal under normal circumstances, but is totally cool here, because the town doesn't actually have an economy to collapse.

[notasidedick]

I guess so. [He just goes to work to chat mostly.]

If you want to ever talk Charlie, you can always visit. [Ruffling your hair like a bro.]

[brbgoing2russia]

[Oh, now she feels bad for being passive aggresive at him.]

Uh- thanks. I'll be using the front door from now on though- Babs orders and all.

[notasidedick]

[He gives her a small smile.]

I'll have to agree. I rather not find you in my bathroom in the middle of a shower again. Sounds good?

[brbgoing2russia]

Hey, that was a total mistake and you promised not to tell her about it!!!!! [emphasis on the last part.]

Sounds good.
