What the hell? Tannis I swear if you're trying to pull one over me again I'm gonna put a round right between your eyes you crazy bitch!

[There's some shuffling around the room.]

Where the hell am I? This ain't any Lance cell. More like some crappy hotel room.

[He kicks his bed and then pauses.]

And what the hell did you sons of bitches do with ( Read more... )

El CAPITAN!

It's about freaking time you got here, oh fearless leader.

[Yes, he's at the bar with Lilith and yes, he's pretty... tanked. Good luck, Roland.]

Freaking psycho-bird. [Lilith empties her fourth and blows into the bottleneck, amusing herself with the hollow resonance.]

It's not just our guns, either. Stupid-ass Captain did something to me!

[In a lightning-fast tantrum, she phases out, heedless of the bottle smashing at the bottom of the stool. She phases back in again looking every bit as scowly.]

I can still do that easy and set fires, but everything else... gone!

[Roland doesn't like this at all. His turret, Lilith's powers, Mordecai's bird, and all their weapons all gone just like that. There's only one group he knows of that could even remotely pull off something like this.]

You think they work for Atlas?

[I.e. you think they're Crimson Lance?]

[Mordecai shakes his head.]

Nah, it's something else. Something bigger than that. Atlas would be broadcasting their presence all over the place. They never do anything quiet.

[He downs what's left of his drink and reaches for another.]

This? Is some fucked up shit. Different universes and realities and... Lilith told you about the fire deck, yeah? That thing was burning before I got here and hasn't stopped.

Atlas doesn't have the tech to suppress me, or they'd have used it and rubbed my face in it, yeah. Douchebags.

[Lilith is sulking again. She would have liked to have a one-on-one conversation with Steele, the only other siren she'd ever heard of by name or encountered. It's a lost opportunity she still boils over every so often.]

Told you it was nuts, big guy. Think you can handle it?

[Something bigger than Atlas huh?

Alright no more of this sulking bullshit. Roland grabs his own bottle of tequila, pops it open, and chugs it like a boss. When he's done he wipes his mouth with his sleeve and slams it on the table.]

Shit, we killed bandits, fucked the Lance, and saved the fucking universe. If we can handle that, then this ain't shit.

[And at least they won't have to worry about some disembodied voice bugging them.]

[Mordecai leans back on his stool and knocks back a hearty mouthful of drink. He understands the seriousness of the conversation but he's kind of... over it. Besides, with three of them around now, they're practically unstoppable.]

Eh, I'm not worried. It's been pretty cruisy so far. Shit hits the fan every now and then but it's...

[He shrugs. Mordecai isn't about to admit to dying just yet. Or why he died.]

[Lilith snorts caustically.]

Hey, Roland. Do you believe in ghosts?

[She'll be swaying in her seat, now. That tequila was chugged way too fast for her to be NOT dizzy, or unbalanced, or otherwise muddled.]

[Alright that caught him off guard.]

The hell do ghosts have to do with anything?

[Roland watches her carefully, ready to grab her before her drunk ass falls off her stole.]

[Mordecai gives Lilith a side long look, shoulders hunching as he leans on the bar. He'll let her handle this one.]

[Sorry, Mordecai. Lilith is aware to where she can remember the incident but not lucid to where her brain-mouth filter is functioning properly. She points at him, scowling.]

A while back, we got some psycho little girl walkin' around the ship, killing everybody she saw. Before that... a lot of us died trying to figure out what the fuck was going on. This asshole here was one of 'em. Sca... freaked me the fuck out.

My point, I think my point is, whatever you do, no matter how you die, you're gonna come back. It's like we're in the loop of life. Or some shit. I dunno.

[Lilith grumps.]

I wan' another tequila.

[That kills any levity he's feeling. These two might be shitfaced but there's no way one of them would lie about one of the team getting killed just to fuck with Roland.]

So we're immortal? Goody. Tell me you got the fucker that did it.

[Roland grabs more tequila for both him and Lilith.]

To a degree. Sometimes they don't come back.

[His mood has shifted a little with the mention of his death. Mordecai is glad that Lilith didn't go into detail and a little surprised that she admitted to it freaking her out.

Downing his drink, he mutters to Roland.]

Grab one for me too, will you?
