20. So long and thanks for all the fish

[man_genius]

So I guess the dramatic reveals on the journalnets is the in thing right? It's been weird reading these things, I mean why are there so many freak'n Princesses here?! Next thing you know, we're gonna find out the Big Bad was really Bowser this whole time.--That was a Super Mario Bros reference for all you non modern, alternate universe types. It'

Sadly, I can only include my Rick Roll references in keywords.

[live_ringer]

Should have known the two of you would end up in the same place. Does this mean Promise is getting an honourary uncle? Cousin? Startlingly older brother? ...Second dad?

As for the rest... you live, you learn, you change. That's about all any of us can do. So make the most of that second shot, hm?

lol those keywords

[man_genius]

DAD?! Heck no! Are you crazy.

...I have no idea how we're gonna pull this off. I mean, technically I won't exist in his world, unless there's another me and in which case that means there's prolly another Dollhouse and I am pulling Rick out of that world ASAP if that's the case. Maybe I could be his long lost younger brother?

No taking over the world. Got it.

[lingeringlegacy]

About the dad notion, you and Rick are the ones writing about love and full commitment~

[man_genius]

What we can't be in a loving committed relationship without me adopting his kid?

[live_ringer]

Stellaris has a point. The two of you would be pretty convincing, if nothing else.

You'll pull it off through falsified documents, I imagine. Do your Einstein-level nerd skills include any types of forgery? And I think 'long lost younger brother' could work, though you'll probably have to talk that bit out with his mum.

(As for the possibility of their being another you, would you be able to search that out? They didn't cover the tracks of your existence when you joined this Rossum business, did they.)

[man_genius]

Except for his whole crush thing on Nikki. Or Kate. Whatever.

Hello? Genius here. I can hack something together, just gotta get myself to a computer and make sure my skills aren't rusty. Oh. Right. That's gonna be a fun conversation. Think she'll try to commit us or just have me arrested on the spot? -_-

(I still exist. Rossum is a legit corporation with a shadey underbelly. As far as anyone is concerned I have a high playing job at one of their labs. ...Incredibly high paying. God I'm gonna miss that paycheck.)

[live_ringer]

Well, no one implied this commitment you and Rick were going on about was exclusive.

If you let Rick do all the talking then... Martha, wasn't it? Might be a little less inclined to have you locked away. Most people tend to be more likely to take eccentricity from relatives in stride.

(Then finding out about the possibility that another you exists should be a piece of cake. And if you can falsify a few credentials along with the ID then maybe finding another disgustingly high paying job shouldn't be too hard.)

[man_genius]

Considering you guys ship me with everyone under the sun, monogamy was actually the last thing on my mind. I was going with 'he's straight.'

Martha yeah. Maybe if Pro--Alexis helps. If she remembers me. I don't know how this will work or if she'll even be there, considering--you know what? Never mind. This is too complicated and my head still hurts from my memory dump.

Ah. Lyle? I used to pay for someone to do my shopping, not to mention clean the expensive downtown LA condo that I never actually used cause I was always at work. I would have bought a car except the company literally drove me everywhere (not that I really went anywhere).

[live_ringer]

Yeah, might be one of those things best figured out when you get there.

...Good God. It's a handy thing you're heading back with Rick. Otherwise, sorry to say, I'm not quite sure how you'd function outside of your old situation.

...you still are you stupid boy

[man_genius]

I'm all for procrastination.

No offense taken, I'm actually kinda embarrassed of my past self. God I was such a spoiled brat!

lol

[live_ringer]

So it sounds. Now you're just a clueless brat. It's progress!

[No worries, Topher, Lyle was (and still often is) a brat, so you're in good company.]

Re: lol those keywords

[bloody_pens]

Well, that's the fun part! You see, I have no idea who MY father is, so the younger-brother idea is actually QUITE plausible.

[man_genius]

Cause we totally look alike.

IT'S GUUUY LOOOVE BETWEEN TWO GUUUUYS

[bloody_pens]

... this is going to end up with everyone thinking we're a couple, isn't it?

NOTHING GAY ABOUT IT IN OUR EYES!

[man_genius]

...Well considering I don't exist in your world and will thus have no chance at a job...You're my sugar daddy?

and here comes Simon being a brat

[pompous_today]

You know, I am rather shocked that the two of you are not already together. I wish you all the best in your new life.
