                  Heroes. The way Geist says it makes it seem like Livvy still has people she actually believes in. And she just doesn’t. Hasn’t for years. So she’s at a loss for what to say. Geist is close, sure, but Liv can’t count on her as much as she’d like to. One day she’ll leave and where will that leave her? 

                  “I wouldn’t worry too much about that from me.” And she intends to leave it at that.

(Thank you for the prompt! ^_^ Sorry for the delay, finals season hit and then I wanted to prioritize thread replies. Send A Number to Experience One of My Muse’s Memories.)

“Are you sure you didn’t rig this?” Azi questioned, peering suspiciously between Phosa, the deck, and his own hand of cards.

“Of course I’m sure!” Phosa snapped, bristling a bit. “Shouldn’t you be asking Piper? It’s Piper’s game.”

“Relax. Azi is joked,” Chip said. She smiled at Phosa when Phosa looked up at her, then looked back to her communication device, proofreading before confirming the next sentences now that she had Phosa’s attention and the time to do so. While she waited for Chip to finish, Phosa flipped over the next card, beginning her own turn. “Joking, I mean. Azi just means, you are doing well, and Azi has had bad luck. He is poking fun at the bad luck.”

“Okay.” Phosa relaxed, glancing at Azi’s character and snorting softly. “You are having some problems, aren’t you. Sorry.” She turned back to her own move, slowly reading the card and comparing it to her own hand. Thankfully, she was better at numbers than reading, so that part went quickly. “Okay.  Unless anybody’s gonna throw something at me—”

“I backstab you,” Chip interrupted. Phosa stopped, sighed, and glared at the cat, who was snickering softly.

“You little fucker. I trusted you.” 

“This game is strange,” Azi observed, as Phosa shoved playfully at Chip’s head before finishing her own turn. “And it goes on forever.”

“It’s an earth nerd classic!” Piper corrected archly. “…sort of. Okay, not really, there are plenty of critics. But I enjoy it, anyway, I had to make you guys play it at least once. Besides, it’s good reading practice for Phosa.”

“Sure. The missing words are especially helpful,” Phosa said, rolling her eyes. “Also all the, ah–cultural? The cultural things I don’t get.”

“This one might have been a miss, cultural ambassador,” Azi chuckled, patting Piper on the shoulder.

tbh i hate the show a lot

it just feels 2edgy4me as a tv show and it’s exhausting. oooh moody wannabee twin peaks jughead wow astonishing.

plus all the kids are like in high school so they’re like 15-16 but they cast adults to play them purely so they could do shirtless and risque scenes and THEY’RE IN HIGH SCHOOL it was weird enough when tom welling did it 

meanwhile: geist is flattered and validated

          Maximus had arrived perfectly aware of his company, and dressed in a decent approximation of human casual, wearing a clean v-neck and creased dress trousers. He helped himself to a book and flipped through it carelessly as he waited, quietly flicking through crisp pages punctuated every so often by the creaking leather of his gloves. He sensed the arrival of another individual before he saw them, and he grinned and slapped the book down on the shop counter. “That’ll be one dead Attilanian,” he announced cheerfully. “And inventory willing, I don’t mind being upsold.”

“  nah,  i don’ mind.  drag away.  it’s good to get outta the house anyways.  ”  he adjusts the baby carrier on just a little higher and smiles down at lian’s sleeping face.  “  i can’t believe you’ve never been to ikea!  ”

“Is this the, uh, support grou-”
