Sometimes They Come Back Again

[tanstagi]

The waters of the lake outside the mansion are placid, or at least as placid as they ever are. No one outside the lake could guess that anything is happening beneath its surface... until it begins happening above the surface. The periscope shoots up first, dripping water for dramatic effect. In moments, an impossible, pure gold-colored

"Ser!" Lynette says. She is still not looking especially well, her head is still far too fucked from the lockage off of part of her memories, but she smiles a little bit when she sees him, anyway.

[tanstagi]

He smiles when he sees her, but a definite worry flashes across his eyes. "My dear Lynette, has someone been feeding you bad data tape?"

[i_flynomore]

"No, ser. Sera Jaenelle helped take away my flash."

[tanstagi]

Frown. "That... sounds... like an event. I hope you didn't need your flash?"

"I missed you, you great bloody git," John grins, cheerfully flipping him off. "Cheers, guv. Where ye been, then? Off serving crazy bitch chaos goddesses or some such nonsense?"

"I missed you, you great bloody git," John grins, cheerfully flipping him off. "Cheers, guv. Where ye been, then? Off serving crazy bitch chaos goddesses or some such nonsense?"

Typist: What the hell, eljay. What the hell.

Hagbard, always the showman, gives John a double-finger, grinning. "I missed you most of all, scarecrow. Nah, I've actually been doing something productive for once. No man should abandon the suffering he caused just for his favorite submarine; no, I brought food and booze."

[_hellblazer_]

"Well if you brought food and booze, I can't blame you that much. Did you bring the damn plothole with you, too? Cuz having to work to buy food totally sucks. And Eve's growing into a tiny person now, so she needs more of everything. And I need my fags..." He stops, frowning. "I should be mad at you, shouldn't I?"

[tanstagi]

"Quite sorry to say that one of the few things that I don't know is how to find hyper-magical semi-beings made of Omnium, or whatever that thing is. You should be, but I brought fags too. And a few things I normally carry anyway that heal most wounds." A wink that is not quite as sly as it normally would be, but he's still holding up quite well.

Mister was out hunting, as was his custom, when the submarine bursts through the surface of the water.

He yowls, hackles going up, and jumps back from the water, hissing and spitting.

Which, admittedly, looks rather silly for a man just upwards of seven feet tall.

[tanstagi]

Hagbard stares at him in both a and bemusement, and after a moment clicks his tongue rapidly, as one calling a cat.

[cateatdogworld]

He cocks his head to the side, assessing Hagbard and the -- thing in the lake. After deciding that he could probably take down Hagbard if need be, Mister prowls closer, a growl still rumbling in his chest.

"What is that thing?"

[tanstagi]

"That," Hagbard says, wondering if he's got any catnip, and whether it's more effective for a man who thinks he's a cat than for a normal man, "is my Golden submarine; a large, inedible, metal fish which one and all one's friends can live in."

Harry's seen a lot of weird shit in his life. A lot. Of weird shit. This was not anything he'd seen before.

He puts his hands on his hips, studying the submarine.

"Huh."

[tanstagi]

"Much the reaction I'm aiming for, sir."
