Check-In [Week 1]

[helborn]

All right, you know the deal. If you're yourself, psychically raise your hand.

Or, uh, if that doesn't make sense to you, just... let people know you're you. I'm myself, obviously, but I have no idea what the hell my archetype or role is. I was infiltrating last time as Ace -

- shit, I need to avoid him. Anyway! Yeah. Uh. ... Yeah...

[His psychic voice just trails off as the awkward overtakes him.]

[notinthecards]

Hope I'm not too late to the party to join the dance.

[helborn]

[There's a brief feeling of panic as Casper has to take a second to collect himself. Is that really - shit, he sounds better than on the show.]

[... Okay. He's okay.]

Uh... not at all, no. We're just getting started.

[notinthecards]

Well then. Laissez la bon temps roulez.

Remy LaBeau. Did my twenty-one and change, then dropped out of circulation for a while.

[helborn]

Exactement.

[He's not sure what 'twenty one and change' means, but.]

Casper. Nice to meet you. You been to this place before?

[He can keep his fanboy urges down but by gods it's difficult.]

[notinthecards]

The boy been almost everywhere. Last time, I was one of the shiny, spooky ones.

[helborn]

[There's a noise of confusion.]

Which ones?

[notinthecards]

I was riding around in a Hecatite Adversary.

[helborn]

Oh, I see. Well, I was infiltrating last time too... as an eight year old. Thankfully we're both ourselves right now.

[notinthecards]

As much as we ever are.

[letsgetdowntobismuth]

Well there's a voice I didn't think I'd hear again! Took you long enough to show back up!

[notinthecards]

Second to last card in the deck is where the seas give up their dead, non?

Not that this boy's dead. Just a little rusty after a long walk. Took a while to catch up where I could, take care of a little business.

[razorblade_empress]

I was wondering when you were gonna crop up again.

[notinthecards]

Like a bad penny, the boy always turn up eventually.

[razorblade_empress]

Yep.

You been brought up to speed on anything that's happened yet?

[notinthecards]

Spent a day reading the Network. Wouldn't be surprised if I missed some highlights, though.

[razorblade_empress]

Yeah, it's been a lot.

[notinthecards]

One way or another, we always end up improvising. Might as well play to that strength.

[razorblade_empress]

Might as well.
