Good. I don’t think I’m ready to venture out quite yet. [ His relief could easily be explained away by the fact that there are looters and who knows what else that may be taking advantage of the dark – but he’s not necessarily worried about that. It’s the wide, unknown spaces and empty streets. The quiet.
Of course, John had to go wandering out in it – because why not? He needs a leash. ]
It’s not as if... [ There’s an abrupt pause, and he sighs (™). Starts over. ] I know that I am mostly human. [ Heavy emphasis, finger quotes and all, around mostly. ] I started working for spooky archive that was actually mildly... evil? [ Martin “Apple Pie Aura” Blackwood, gesticulates like he’s offering Adrian a choice between two different restaurants to eat at. ]
We’d get these ... reeeeally unpleasant statements that needed to be processed. John did the most, but I probably recorded the most after him. [ A very brief Ted Talk on the Magnus Institute ensues. Yes, he was in a custody battle between The Lonely and The Eye (with The Web sending him love letters because he is a Problematic Bitch). Didn't quite die, so he's the Zero Calories version of Peter Lukas. ]
Wha—t?! [ Completely dumbfounded. Flabbers. Ghasted. ] That’s very...pragmatic of you. John might be a bit confused, though. [ He’s not flustered at all. He’s very grateful for the completely unrelated follow-through. ]
Unless you consider the stuff tied to the fears magic? No. Like we can’t heal people with glowing light. [ Believe be, he’s jealous of that. ] Oh I don’t know... I guess I can sneak away to be quietly sad? [ Literally fading into the background like a depressed misty step ] They’re safe, I promise you.
Do you usually have bad taste in friends? [ He’s laughing with you, not at you. ]
