[Despite Raimi's absence, he still somehow manages to sport that been-through-Hell-and-back look... or some variety of the kind. It's not just apparent because of the fresh cuts on his face or the newly cracked lenses of his glasses, either

You look like you got run over by a Peterbilt, darlin'.

Can't say I've had that happen around here. Question I've gotta ask, though. Was it something you've lost, or something you've gained?

[Missing a few days? Yeah, he's been there. And got a new face and a whole new set of problems.]

[fuckinghubble]

[Darling? Really?]

That's what they say. Don't think I've much room to disagree.

...I'm not sure. Maybe it's a little bit of both. Time lost here and time gained there... Makes just about as much sense as anything else that happens here.

[In the scheme of pet names, darling is really the mildest.]

Not until you get some ointment or bandages, you can't.

Sounds about right. Other places, anyway. Though I'll bet y'gained more than just time from that.

[fuckinghubble]

[Oh. Well then. Good thing Raimi isn't daunted by such things.]

Unless you think I want to go around sporting a Claude Rains look, I think toilet paper dabs will work just fine.

You could say that.

[Even if Raimi was, a reaction would just encourage Barricade to get more outlandish. Skyfire's going to be lucky if he's only called "cupcake".]

Hey, it ain't a completely terrible look. Worked f'r him, didn't it?

Sorry to hear that I guessed right, then.
[Really. He is.]

audio;

[fuckinghubble]

[That's too bad. You could call Raimi "lover" and he'd still be pretty pokerfaced.]

Sure, though I'd be right to avoid the madness that preceded the look.

I think I'm past sympathies at this point, but thanks.

[namesnotprowl]

["Lover" is usually reserved for certain people - that aren't here - or for when Barricade feels a real need to unsettle someone. It'd accompany licking if he only had a tongue.]

Madness is all very relative.

Likely sympathies are the best I c'n offer, sadly.

audio;

[fuckinghubble]

[Not even licking would faze Raimi that much... but he prefers his personal space.]

I guess it depends on how you look at it.

[He leaves it at that -- what's done is done, after all.]

audio;

[namesnotprowl]

[Some people around here are just a little too zen to play with.]

A lot does, I've found.

[There's little need to elaborate beyond that.]

audio;

[fuckinghubble]

[In Raimi's case, zen has a little less to do with it and more to do with the fact that he's utterly shameless to start with.]

Is that right?

[Okay, he'll indulge a little with that "need".]

audio;

[namesnotprowl]

[Well, and then there's those people. Though they're more fun to watch when they go after someone else.]

Yep. Mental state. Ideologies. How much that deals with sex is "too much". How wars come out - there may only be one victor but both sides see themselves as the one in the right.

[Somebody has had time to think about these things.]

audio;

[fuckinghubble]

[Too true.]

You know how it goes -- we're all masters of our own destruction.

[Raimi gets that philosophy all too well.]

audio;

[namesnotprowl]

And when the destruction of something important to you?

[Just curious to hear Raimi's thoughts on it.
It's an important thing for him, after all.]

audio;

[fuckinghubble]

I don't have anything important anymore -- not sure if I ever did in the first place.

[Or, at least what he does value he can't quite describe in petty words.]

audio;

[namesnotprowl]

That all depends too, really. Sometimes you don't value things now that y'used to... or value something now that you hadn't before.

[And not just 'things' either.]

audio;

[fuckinghubble]

I value the fact that I'm not a shocked, charred crispy critter at the moment. Does that count?
