Hail to the King, baby. Did you have fun? I had a blast until I got eaten. Which is, in retrospect, hilarious.

sure sum parts were pretty neat

but i'm way cooler than that dude & also i think the whole thing really fucked my daughter up

we werent doing exactly awesome b4 but she moved back home - on her own just showed up with her bags & said she wanted 2 move in - & now idk

+ it really sucked 4 me when u died & i thought u were DEAD dead

Wait what? She did? Handsome! That's great! Isn't it?

[He didn't seem... that enthusiastic about it.]

Yeah, sorry about that, hot stuff. If I'd had a choice, I definitely wouldn't have been eaten. More convenient for everyone.

But I'm here now! Back and better than ever. In the flesh! Sort of.

it'd b more grate if she talked 2 me 4 more than 5 seconds at a time & wasnt always telling me 2 act like shes not there

id assume u wouldnt CHOOSE 2 get eaten by a monster

i think most ppl would go that route

tell me about it i keep forgetting i cant eat or drink again!

That IS good though. It sounds like she wants to be near you; she missed you. She just doesn't know how to handle all of the rest of it yet.

You never know; those Tagfalutin guys or whatever they call themselves might be down for just that.

Oh no- what happened? Did you spill something on yourself? Full disclosure- I would laugh if you did. But not very much.

she wants 2 b around me but she yells at me if im around her & this is normal?

those ppl r bugfuck nutso!

no im not a moron geeze

i just keep grabbing a beer or lighting a cigarette & then i remember i dont have a mouth anymore

I want to say it's because she has a lot she's processing with conflicting needs and fears- but honestly that sounds like a regular teenage girl to me.

They really are. Like, why no love for the sims? You're telling me no one wants to trade in skin for circuits? I don't believe it. It was never my thing, but I know it was yours- and I knew at least three people back home with the same end goal in mind.

Give your beers and cigarettes to me. I could smoke them and blow it at you- wait a minute, can you smell things? I can't believe I've never asked you that before.

well its frustrating as shit

its cuz they come from this backwoods, technology dark ages place

they dont get how awesome robots r

yea u can have em

not really

not like human ppl smell things but im aware of odors

its info i pick up on but its not like i smell things

THAT sounds like a teenage girl to me too.

So don't bother with perfume on dates with Jack, check.

[The next message takes awhile to come through.]

Speaking of... we kind of- made some plans, back when we were human. Something about a date? And I already got a dress for it and everything, so... if you still wanted to go out sometime, you know, that'd be cool.

id say she should b over this but i guess not cuz of not exactly having a normal development

but im at my wits end istg

hey why not? traditional dinner is out, obvs, but how about i take ya dancing? ya like 2 go dancing?

Is it that bad? I'd offer to talk to her, but uh- I don't think she likes me much.

I love dancing. That sounds like a blast. When? Where? Should I meet you?

thanx 4 the offer but i dont think thatd help shed probably b mad at both of us

i just dont kno wut 2 do ill figure it out

ok cool!

but i guess that depends

this our usual buds hanging out kinda deal or r we gonna do it up old school style like a real date?

Sometimes all you can do is just... weather the storm. Give her some time; she'll sail through.

[There's a long pause before the next message comes through; and when it does, it doesn't immediately answer the question.]

You're not going to disappear on me, are you Jack? Only a lot of people have, lately. Slade- Fenris- Rafe. I barely had time to invite myself to move in- now it's just me, a teenage girl, five dogs and a lion.

yea yea ur rite

look u kno i cant totally & 100% make that promise

but i can say ive ben here a REALLY long time
multiple years
ive never poofed & come back
ive ben rite here since i first woke up in this kooky dimension

but i get it

i made & lost the best friggin friend i ever had in my life here

but statistically speaking im a pretty safe bet

[That's enough to make her laugh; the sound hollow and strange, with big station headphones over her ears.]

Human us... they seemed like they had a good thing going, you know? It wasn't weird or anything. And it's been ages since I've been on a real Date date. What about you?

they did

ill b honest with u
human me was real happy being ur casual bf
i dont think it wud suck if we took a page outta their book & gave it a try

plus were super hot & awesome together & dating doesnt mean we gotta stop fooling around with other ppl or anything

[There are a lot of good reasons why Harley's tried to keep distance between them.

Reasons like what Angel let spill, trying to turn Harley on him. Like what Tim dropped here and there, that made Harley think Jack might've been a little bit of a- well- dictator? Back home. But most of all how easy it was, to be close to Jack. How he was funny and charming and amazing fun and definitely a looker, but could flip that switch that screamed 'Dangerous' without breaking his stride. How confident he was- and yeah, okay, maybe there was some narcissism in there, but- who didn't have their little quirks? More than once, they'd been laughing or making out or just chilling together- and Harley'd catch a glimpse of his face and think Oh, girl, this one's a slippery slope. You could fall so easy into that.

But- this wasn't any kind of falling. The thing they'd had when they were human- it was casual. And it was nice. And it wasn't like they were going to get serious, just- maybe introducing a little romance. Nothing wrong with that... right?

Harley realizes she's still staring at the screen, and has been for who knows how long, without sending a response.]

I think I'd like that.

I mean I did like it, obviously, just- me now, with you now. You know what I mean. Someone really needs to invent some tenses for a past that didn't really happen except in the ways that it did.

But just- still keeping it casual, just with a little bit extra.

hey nobody said anything about getting serious

we both been burned we both got our shit

but its also pretty friggin dumb 2 ignore the fact were into each other 4 reasons beyond how hot & gud at sex we r

Sure, if you want to bring reason into it.

Christ, we really did hit it off from like the literal first minute, huh? Best advertisement for dead people disposal turned booty call I've ever had.

So... maybe we give it a shot. See how it goes.

im a robot reason is wut we do!

we did

we got sumthing babe

werent looking 4 it werent planning on it but its there

i say we do! come on wuts really gonna change?
we hang out all the time
we sleep together
we share feelings & emotion shit with each other
so we do sum more couple-y activities & i get u more 'just cuz' presents
big deal!

I do like presents.....

And you're right. You and me, we fit together like puzzle pieces. Which is a kind of wild all on its own, because we're both, shall we say, ~unique individuals~.

So we'll do it. Wanna be my casual boyfriend, baby?

c no downside!

its the kind of crazy cool shit that happens 2 ppl like us! ive always been that guy
ive always been real lucky
i bet u have been 2

u kno i do babe

So? Let's go out to celebrate. And lucky me, I already got a dress. Guess I am after all.

And all of this so say... are you picking me up? You got a spot in mind?

yea im gonna pick u up & yea i kno a place

a fancy place uptown

doesnt get 2 many monsters but i dont think u mind being the center of attention

Far from it- the spotlight's my favourite place to be.

Tonight? I'm crashing at Rafe's old place, these days- you know where it is? Come grab me, and I'll be your uptown girl for the evening.
