Everyone Strives for Chaos

"We kind of got body switched, and it was a really unpleasant experience. I dressed her up in like so many colors and was itchy for days." Enid admitted, giving a nod. "It's not. I think she takes pills for it now, at least I hope she does."

"So she wasnt making it up. Interesting." Peter had never heard of that before. It really sounded like something someone would just make up to be edgy and different. "Sounds messed up. If you hadnt said you switched bodies I would have said sounds like she just wants attention."

Gojo was glad to see Megumi smiling. It took some of the stress off his shoulders. Megumi was more important to him than any of the other students. "I think youre annoying because you're a kid still. And you take everything so dang seriously. Lighten up." He chuckled, giving Megumi a nudge. "Never. Have to teach you all the correct way dont I? Cant let those aging fools corrupt you."

Connor->Dad: I know, that's why I never asked all those years before. The only time we ever talked about her was when I was in crisis and said she didn't love me and you said she did. I met her ghost once and failed her. I was just, hoping to find something good to hold onto.

Angel -> Connor: my advice is to find something good in the present to hold onto. Like Veronica. I dont know what Darla was like in the future as that is something ive not experienced. Im sorry if she behaved that way but unfortunately that is the Darla I know and remember. Hateful. Im sorry if thats not what you want to hear but its how I remember her.

she let a comfortable silence sit between them as the sun set. once it was almost over the horizon she finally responded. "i'm sure it will. and if it begins to go sideways i'm sure your lovely brain will figure out a way to solve it." she tapped his forehead teasingly.

"No pressure." A slight nervous chuckle escaped him. This time he wasnt sure he could fix it. He couldnt bring Vax back. He didnt have magic. He just had his science and his ideas. Would it be enough? His inventions. They often seemed to blow up in his face. Literally.

"It's kinda my job to do that." Mickey pointed out with a slight shrug. "I like working here. I just dont' like when people are difficult and they want to give me a headache."

"But its your job to make what they want then. If they're being rude about it fine I understand but just making what they requested? Not sure you have a leg to stand on." Lucanis replied with a small shrug and downed the remaining coffee in his cup. "But thats just me. A verbal contract is still a contract. As someone offering this service you have a contract to satisfy your customers."

"In time." His blue eyes shinning with amusement under the blindfold. It was a shame that it exhausted him, unable to just show his eyes. "It would be worth skipping if i did have plans. I assure you." He grinned.

"He can." Lucanis nodded. Spite was never far. The comment was only responded to with a hiss. Hear that from her made him smile softly. "It means a lot to hear that. All of it. The agreement we have is enough to keep him in line. I am confident it will be all be fine. When he was first placed in my body it was quite violent. Much better now." He was relieved that the agreement had been made. That they could at least function. "Youre one of my favourite people too." He nodded in agreement..

"You'll come to realize that I am not like most men. While I am powerful and I've yet to find someone who could truly defeat me, I will rage-bait the hell out of someone till they kick their own ass." Alastor admitted. "You just have to know what to say and what button to press."

"If that is truly how you think then you are like every single man I've ever crossed paths with. From kings to beggars and priests. Very few are different." Yennefer finished her wine, waving her hand for another. "The strong have nothing to prove. No need to press button or 'rage-bait' as you put it. Truly strong carry themselves in powerful silence."

"Yeah yeah im all good. I wasn't paying attention." She shook her head. Going from Shadyside to here as well was a big jump in number of people. Sometimes in Shadyside you could go for miles without seeing people especially in the morning at this time. "Sorry. Not used to busy cities.".

"yeah. you know, i met a witch. and i don't mean like a hippy, crystal kind of witch. an actual, legit witch. she told me that she thought something was missing in my life, that i wasn't really meant to be here." tim shrugged his shoulders, laughing sardonically. "i kinda thought she was full of it, but now i'm realising that maybe she was spot on." tim turned to look at lucy, taking in all of her features, seeing if anything about her would jog something in his memory. "maybe you could help me. if we're as close as you say we are, then maybe being around-- it could help other stuff come back."

"There are actually witches here? That is so cool!" Lucy grinned at him, her excited self coming through now more. "Maybe if magic is a real thing one of them can help with this whole memory thing?" She suggested. A sentence she never thought shed say. "Of course ill help. Ill always help. Ill tell you anything you want to know." She nodded.

"Luffy!" He smiled with relief at the sight of the younger man. It was still mad to him how much Luffy had grown since he last saw him. He had been keeping up with his career as a pirate after Mihawk brought him the poster. He could help but be proud of him. "Oh not much. Longing for the sea and the ships. Adjusting to boring non pirate life. How about yourself? I doubt staying out of trouble." A chuckle left him as he recalled his conversation with Zoro.

"I appreciate the effort in trying." He let out little sigh followed by a chuckle. He knew it was asking a lot of her, one of the many reasons he was drawn to her. "If you start getting into trouble or digging into a story could be dangerous please find me?" He could then deal with whatever was dangerous and keep her safe. He couldnt help the slight shade of pink that came to his cheeks at her confession. "Youre the first person to say that too me."

Text starter:

Angel -> Connor: Id rather not talk about Darla. I appreciate she is your mother but I dont want to think or reminisce about her. She caused a lot of pain to Buffy and me.

"Even if that is defending criminals who have committed violent crimes?" He did wonder how some lawyers could so willingly defend criminals. He pictured the one who would try to defend In Ho's actions. Try to make him a victim. It didnt sit right with him. He moved Soon-Bok from her own chair to his knees. "Just like her mother." He smiled softly looking at his adopted daughter. "A little while. We were in Korea before."

"Yeah, I noticed that. No one really seems to talk about demons or anything. So, you know. I think we're actually safe in this city." Rumi admitted with a soft smile. "Not at all. I'm pretty excited about the future, honestly. I've never really had a boyfriend before, so it will be fun to do all the date stuff with you."

"Its been sort of nice actually. Not everything being demons. Most people just think my patterns are tattoos which I will absolutely take." It was better than the alternative and allowed him to grow and step away from his demon identity. "Lots of firsts for both of us." He pressed a kiss to her knuckles. "Never really had girlfriend either so this is exciting that we get to experience this together."

lucerys  offered  the  other  a  polite  smile.  his  gaze  lingered  for  a  moment  as  he  looked  over  his  face.  something  about  him…  it  seemed  familiar.  something  about  the  man  that  made  him  feel  at  ease,  simply  from  being  around  him.  “that's  okay.  just  wanted  you  to  have  it,  didn't  want  someone  else  to  wind  up  with  it.”  he  admitted.  “sorry  this  uh…  this  might  sound  a  little  strange  but  have  we  met  before?  it's  just  you…  you  seem  kinda  familiar.”

"Well not many would take the time to return it. So thank you. You saved me from a very frustrating and aggravating evening." He smiled kindly and slid his wallet back into his back pocket. The next questions did catch him off guard as he was unsure how to answer. "Its difficult to explain. And not sure you'll believe me. I wouldn't in your situation."

"I can appreciate a dangerous habit being you have a tendency to i dont know start fights, drive cars too quickly not you make enemies with some of the most dangerous people." Zash shook his head slightly. Zash hadnt gone out of his way to make enemies. He simply did his job and enemies came with that. "Shouldn't be. Im sure someone knows something."
