[Dragging himself out of bed late and down into the kitchen... eventually. No need for anything more than pajamas and socks, since it's looking like another day of skipping school.]

...mornin'.

[And of course he makes a beeline straight for the coffee. He's picking up someone else's bad habits along with his own!]

walking_nuke December 24 2011, 04:36:02 UTC

[ABOUT TIME YOU STARTED TO APPRECIATE COFFEE, CAESAR. Balin turns to watch Caesar trudge on past-wondering briefly if he wound up waking up Caesar with his ranting. He does calm down a bit though, enough to speak in a mostly calm manner.]

Yeah, mornin'.

[He stares at Caesar for a few seconds, trying to recall if he heard his name on the TV-but he soon realizes he hasn't, and Caesar doesn't look like he's been replaced at all.]

Caesar, did you hear'a news just now?

commentboxtroll December 24 2011, 06:03:42 UTC

[ONLY BECAUSE SODA IS A POOR MORNING OPTION AND YOU JERKS NEVER BUY TEA.]

News? [He stops mid-reach for a mug and glances back. Seriously, Balin, you know how to ruin the day before he's even fully awake. There's no way it'll be good news, after all.] No. What news?

walking_nuke December 24 2011, 06:09:18 UTC

[This is Mayfield! They pee in our Cheerios every morning!]

Fuckin' town just erased like'a hundred people. Not droned. Erased.

commentboxtroll December 24 2011, 07:17:52 UTC

Erased? Erased how? [Dumb question, but that took him by surprise.] I--

[Wait a second. The lights are on again. This early?]

Something to do with the problem they were having with whatever runs this place?

walking_nuke December 24 2011, 07:34:38 UTC

Seems like it.

[Balin does not look all that happy though.]

I don't know how'ey did it. They called 'em "extra baggage" an'at'ey decided for'emselves not to exist anymore.

[And now his face sours even more.]

An' get'is-everyone'at vanished is gettin' a "temporary replacement."

commentboxtroll December 26 2011, 01:31:53 UTC

You would be dumb enough to decide not to exist? [He doesn't need that answered, because he knows who.] They're banking on everyone's stupid hero complexes...

Look, they've done doubles before. It went back to normal afterwards, remember?

walking_nuke January 2 2012, 13:05:27 UTC

[(OOC: Crap I forgot about these!)]

Yeah, I do. An' I know what you're tryin'a say. For all we know'ey got'a volunteers locked in some kinda sardine can. Still doesn't make'is shit better.

[Looking back at the TV screen, although the news report has ended (for now) and it's off.]

Virginia's on'at list.

bluh bluh that first you should've been a who wow i suck commentboxtroll January 3 2012, 02:04:01 UTC

She is?

[Now he isn't even remotely interested in coffee.?]

Why? She's smarter than that! [Isn't she?] No, it doesn't, but... Look, we just have to deal with it. Have you seen her yet today?

walking_nuke January 3 2012, 02:07:45 UTC

[Oh how quickly the changes take effect!]

I ... think she was still in bed when I got up.

[He frowns slightly, as if retroactively recognizing that's not like her.]

I dunno, I guess it might've been her replacement.

commentboxtroll January 5 2012, 22:56:39 UTC

But she's always the first up...

[That really isn't like her at all, coming to the same conclusion as Balin.]

Maybe. If it is, I guess we can just lock her up in a room again. That usually works.

walking_nuke January 13 2012, 07:42:15 UTC

Yeah. If'a replacement turns out to be somethin' like what'a Milkman was doin' to us ...

[Balin glances down at a hand.]

I'm more prepared for'at kinda shit now. I think.

commentboxtroll January 14 2012, 19:17:05 UTC

If that were the case, she would already be down here and trying to feed us cyanide for breakfast.

walking_nuke January 14 2012, 21:06:20 UTC

[Balin scoffs and grins lopsidedly.]

I figure she'd just try shootin' us again. Or use'at Arcane stuff on us.

[Isn't that what she called it? He can't quite remember ...]

commentboxtroll January 14 2012, 23:37:38 UTC

I'll pass on the being shot part, but can you just imagine her wearing a stupid drone grin and seasoning the eggs with some big, stupid canister labelled 'poison'?

That'd be priceless.

[Big canister of-- h-hey, sometimes he watches those early morning cartoons, don't judge him.]

walking_nuke January 15 2012, 00:17:12 UTC

[Okay, that gets Balin snickering.]

Man, I'd welcome somethin' like'at. 'Least you'd see it comin' a mile away.
