Déjà vu this wall.

[Voice]

This has happened before. I'm sure a it. I don't really remember it, but it happened... all the weird people... Hell, if you can't beat 'em.

Who wants pizza!?

[People can come by Azzip for pizza. Duo's frantically trying to make enough for everyone.]

Comments

[colony_brat]

Yeah, makes a difference. Can't say I'd like ta see the guys from my world here, but I do miss 'em. Who ya friends with?

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Usagi. Usagi, Makoto, Minako, and Chibi-Usa.

[colony_brat]

[Duo brightens up a little at a recognized name.]

Hey, I actually had a date with Usagi too. Talked ta Makoto. You have very pretty friends, but that'd be expected.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad to meet their other friends!

[Smile smile. She is considering the likelihood of making you not like them much.]

[colony_brat]

Well, I don't talk to 'em nearly enough, but I'd be happier havin' more pretty girls in here more often.

[Oh don't do that. It would be so strange for Duo not to like a pretty girl.]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with just me?

[colony_brat]

Absolutely nothin', 'specially if ya plan on comin' back here for a slice and some conversation~ [Duo leans onto his hand a little as he stares at her with a silly smile.]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

I'll come whenever you want!

[Have a smile in return! And no, she doesn't realize this is flirting. But at least she's enjoying herself too much to do any tampering; isn't that nice?]

[colony_brat]

Pretty girls are always welcome when they're hungry and welcome even when they aren't. 's long as the place is open, I want ya to come in.

[Duo's bad habits pay off! It just figures that something that often gets him into trouble would keep him out of trouble for once. If only he could know.]

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

[Change subject time, because she's not really sure what to do with this vague sense he's saying something she's not totally grasping.]

Hey, do you know something about the ones suddenly appearing without wings?

[colony_brat]

Not really beyond this sense that it's happened before and makin' pizza and tellin' people ta come in here's a lot more fun than hidin' under the counter. Not sure why I think about hidin' under the counter, but I do when I think 'bout this happenin' before. Also pretty sure they won't be stayin'.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

They're not staying?

Then we should stay near them to find out how to go back.

[colony_brat]

Doubt it. They haven't been processed at all and we don't have space for all of 'em. 'least I don't think so.

They'll probably go back the way the others do, when we're not lookin' they'll just disappear.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

That may be. But doing nothing, you definitely won't get anywhere.

[colony_brat]

That doesn't mean I won't be tryin' ta keep an eye on at least one of 'em. Just not gunna put a lotta blind hope into it.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

I like that about you! You're smart.

[colony_brat]

[Duo grins at her.] You might be the only one ta say that 'bout me.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Do you need the rest to say it?

[colony_brat]

Nope. Wouldn't do or say half the stuff I do if I cared what everyone thought. Just nice ta know one pretty girl thinks I'm smart. And I'm guessin' you're very smart yourself. You gunna try ta stick to one of ta new people?

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

I'd kind of like to see one arrive, wouldn't you?

[colony_brat]

Yeah, it'd be nice, but I think people just drop outta the sky. Think that's how I ended up in a tree when they returned me once.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Returned you once?

[colony_brat]

From a kidnapping. They worked me over and dropped me in a tree.

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

What did they do?

[colony_brat]

Oh um... I've been drugged outta my mind. Had 'em test the fire magic I learned here 'til I burned myself. Been starved. Let 'em break my hands. Made me watch 'em torture a friend a mine. Stuff like that. You don't really wanna hear the details. [Duo's trying to sound like it's no big deal and he's trying to protect the pretty girl from the gruesome details.]
