“ hey my grandpa is about to kill me .. so maybe one little new years kiss before I die ~?”

kicks him in the knee as hard as she can.

god… that plus the fact that all his stories today are him & karlie celebrating finishing project runway filming…….

he can’t even be surprised.  the poor, hapless star’s mind seems to have been shattered, much like his own had been when he’d been in a similar situation. fortunately, that means at least one of them has experience with this time-space anomaly going on, and it can be treated with the care it needs. alas, it doesn’t mean much, given the details are still lost to him, but... at least it means he’s able to keep from panicking.

❝ i wish i could say i was. you’d probably be way less wigged out. ❞ despite the short laughter given, geno can only empathize with him. it’s a mind-boggling and crazy thing, looking quite literally at yourself, but he’s... somehow gotten used to it. maybe it isn’t the best time to tell him that they aren’t the only ones running around out there.

❝ it looks like that megasmilax got you pretty good, ❞ muses he, leaning over to lift a small towel left draped over his clone’s head. the jagged marks left in wood are still painful just to look at, and he can’t help but wince. ❝ worse that you were way too out of it for me to give you a pick-me-up. some ‘shrooms might be all you’ll need now, so there’s your silver lining for you, i guess. ❞

there’s something he feels he should cover, something just at the tip of his tongue, but he can’t say he’s sure about what it is... or, no, wait, he’s got it.
