Trump-Talk

[someonetocarry]

So somebody wanna tell me where the Trumps were hidin' this Jaunt? My other self in there was kinda on the sidelines of whatever action went down, given the whole havin'-a-baby thing, and I don't remember talkin' to anythin' that might fit a Trump in disguise.

[Little does she know... still, it's a place to start the conversation for various interested parties, right? Including herself. Because she's not actually even sure which Trump marked her.]

Yes it is!

[comebewe]

No it goddamn isn't and I have no idea how the hell you even thought it was!

[happyhalloween]

You said you were Matthew and now you keep trying to switch it! It's not fair!

[comebewe]

Because I am Matthew!

[happyhalloween]

No, you're not! When you talk like that you're the Blue Electric Angels!

[comebewe]

That's not how it works!

[okay, deep breaths here. Don't let the small and incredibly frustrating child drive you over deep edge, oh god why did Masshuu ever have children...

...actually no, he knows exactly how Masshuu ended up with a kid, and he needs to go right back to trying to purge that knowledge from his memory entirely]

Okay...even if that was how it works, we don't...we are always me. We are the same. It's not like I go away just because you think you're talking to the Angels.

[happyhalloween]

I know you don't. I'm not a dumb baby. But then why did you say the part of you that isn't the vessel was Matthew then?

[comebewe]

Don't call me a vessel. We might share my body but I'm not just some thing for us to inhabit, you know.

And I never said that. I don't know why you think I did.

[happyhalloween]

You did say that. I asked the part of you that wasn't always in the body about your name and you said Matthew. So there.

[comebewe]

We'll you never told me that you were only talking to us!

[happyhalloween]

We thought it was obvious.

[comebewe]

Not to anyone other than you!

[failgoyle]

See, you're upsetting the kid. What kind of unholy fused amalgamation upsets a kid?

[comebewe]

You shut up!

[failgoyle]

What are you gonna do about it, sic a ghost on me?

[comebewe]

[There's a long pause before Matthew respods]

I didn't...he wasn't me, I'm not...

...I wouldn't.

[and it was suddenly very, very important to him that Jules knew that]

[failgoyle]

You sure about that?

Because that was freaking terrifying.

[comebewe]

Yes!

[another pause, although not quite as long this time]

I'm sorry.

[failgoyle]

You--

--wait, really?

[comebewe]

I...Jules, you might be the most annoying person I have ever met in my entire life, but that doesn't mean I want you dead.

[failgoyle]

Really? But back there...

...heeeeeey, what do you mean I'm annoying?

[comebewe]

He wasn't me!

[As for that second part, there's really no point dignifying that with an answer. Surely Jules can't be so thick that he doesn't realise how he might get on everyone else's nerves?]

[failgoyle]

He still tried to kill me several times!

[comebewe]

I know! I know he tried to kill you! He...he was a goddamn psychopath, alright? He didn't give a fuck if anyone lived or died, it was all the same to him, and I didn't want to be him! He's not me!

[and maybe if he says it enough, he'll actually believe it]

[failgoyle]

O-okay. That's...I mean, the whole thing isn't good, but you're...not...it's good that you're not.
