[Shortly after his conversation with Athena, Boxer gives Tim a little visit, too. He's a little hesitant about this one, because...even after all the changes, the silhouette, the posture is still the same. Thankfully, the two of them ended up turning into much different monsters, so now it's just a case of looking at distant siblings rather than twins.

(You know, minus the...yeah.)]

Hi.

[He helps himself to a seat.]

I have something I need to tell you. You have to promise me you won't tell anyone what I'm about to say.

[expendableasset]

Hey.

[ tim's used to boxer approaching him at any time for any reason, now, so it's not too much of a surprise when the shade sits right on down next to him. the statement that follows is a surprise, however, and he raises his eyebrows. ]

Yeah? Go ahead. Mum's the word.

[ tim had spilled his "secret" to boxer, after all -- the very least he can do is keep whatever secret he has safe in return. ]

[n_ll]

[There's a beat of silence that precedes his admission. It sends a chill up his spine, just thinking about admitting to one of his aliases, but this is the best way to make things as clear as possible as fast as possible. He saw Tim--or what he's 99% sure was Tim--post to the network himself, so it won't hopefully be without context.]

I'm "Surveillant."

[expendableasset]

[ tim's confused for the span of a second or two before realization crosses his features, followed by -- admiration? -- something of the sort. he nods. ]

You probably saw me answering too. I wasn't intending on telling him anything beyond what I did, if I found out. I just wanted to make sure he'd tell me when he saw her again.

[ he reaches up to rub at the back of his neck, glancing off towards boxer's quarters. ]

So somebody really...?

[n_ll]

[Boxer swats at Tim's thigh to get him to look away from the personal quarters, managing to do it entirely on the sly.]

Don't.

[Jeez, man, don't throw suspicion.]

Yeah, it's true.

<reversecowgirl69>

[dickshots]

Miss me?

<jimothy>

[expendableasset]

Alright, running on the assumption that anyone who wants to yank my chain wouldn't have my network ID and this is actually you

YES OH MY GOD. I was kind of worrying that you, like
weren't actually going to come back or something.

Where are you?? Do you need somewhere to go?

<reversecowgirl69>

[dickshots]

Place called Dyster. Long story, short trip.

Wanted to drop in and check on you and Athena. Remembered you stuck out the invitation so yeah. Kinda.

What's the deal? You guys home?

<jimothy>

[expendableasset]

Yeah, we're here. Come on over.
But prepare to be bombarded with more questions and possibly fussed over because, you know, you were dead and all.

<reversecowgirl69>

[dickshots]

Yeah yeah know the drill.

Just make sure you got a beer or ten on hand and you can fuss till you're blue in the face.

I'll be over in a few.

<HJack69> After Nisha actually goes to visit, when Jack actually remembers

[pandornah]

> Btw.
> Nisha's back.
> And there's zombies floating around now so uh.
> Don't die.

<alsoHJack69

[expendableasset]

That's good. Like, really good. All in one piece?

[ playin' it safe and stupid here. ]

Yeah, I
kiiinda noticed all that. Will do.

< HJack69 >

[pandornah]

> Yeah.
> Got a pretty good idea of who we're chasing down, but my timeframe's a little fuzzy.
> Stay tuned for more exciting news at 11 blah blah.

> She's got wings now.
> Compliment her, she'll love it.
> ;)

[Someone may or may not still be trying to dig himself out of the dog house.]

<alsoHJack69>

[expendableasset]

Alright. Let me know when you know more because you know the son of a bitch who did it isn't going to last long with all of us wanting them dead.

Up the schmoozery a few notches, got it. Wings are pretty badass no matter who they're on but I bet she looks great with them.

[ it's safe to express his attraction to nisha, right? that's IC jack behavior, he's being a good double! ]

< HJack69 >

[pandornah]

> Yeah, sure.
> Just don't touch her.












> Seriously, she's walking around naked every other day.

8/13

[dickshots]

It's over.

[expendableasset]

Thanks.
Knew I could count on you.

[dickshots]

It's what I do.

[Literally, after all. Over and over again.]

[expendableasset]

I tried to handle things myself, but

[ he actually doesn't end up finishing that message. putting it into words feels pathetic -- the failure and the reason behind it, something more than lacking the proper equipment -- so he'll leave nisha to assume. ]

[dickshots]

Need a drink?

<KS> [8/28]

[catsuya]

This is Katsuya Suou.

[That sentence just hangs in the message form unsent for a while. What the hell does he say? What can he say? There's far too much than can be said over the network.]

Is Detective Skye all right?

< notjack >

[expendableasset]

More like "this is a fucking idiot".
Common sense dictates you should probably check up with her yourself. But for the record: yeah, she's on the mend.

I ought to kick your ass, you know.

<KS>

[catsuya]

I didn't want to assume she was interested in hearing from me. Thank you for the information.

[Not even commenting on the rest of it ha ha ha haaa he knows Tim has a right to be mad.]

< notjack >

[expendableasset]

Better to show you actually give a shit directly to her.

I haven't heard from you in twenty god damn days. You ever stop to think that people might've been worried about you? I mean, duh, I'm pissed and I want to scold you like a puppy that shit all over the floor but at the same time

Ugh.

<KS>

[catsuya]

I didn't want to make things worse.

^Y I don't know what to Y^
I seem to be doing that anyway.
