Looks like I’m running through the docks tonight.

Your taste in food sucks :/

The food quality in general here is suspect, I might as well go all in. :/

didnt you take lana there? doesnt she half count as a speedster

If you think Jinx let me feed Lana anything on the grease side of the menu, I have some eye-opening news for you. 

[adeadmonarch]

you could probably hit $50 if you take a speedster to waffle house

I could probably put waffle house out of business if I took a speedster there

[adeadmonarch]

hhahahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I’m--

Mostly I’m just glad this game? seems to think I manage to actually go through with a date that hits $50.

[adeadmonarch]

What’s that saying? If you can’t beat them?

The cold weather was an advantage; with layering it was nigh impossible to clock the thin padding that made up his makeshift Mirror suit under your standard coat, shirt, and jeans. Only the gloves and high collar may come off as a little odd but in this day and age of fashion he’s been witnessing, the first person he hears call him out for it is going to get a hand-mirror passed their way.

Charlie flexed his fingers in the gloves. The little squeak of stiff padding was so commonplace now that even Boomerang’s ears stayed down, dog happily snoozing on the couch. 

Alright. Day-tour. Sure his last few times have been in the light of dusk or dead of night but it’s not like this was hard. He’ll blend right in. 

“Don’t wait up for me, buddy.” The Monarch reached over, patting Boomerang once on the head and getting a small boof for his troubles. “I know you know how to open the fridge. Help yourself if I’m back late.” 

There was... crime or something to go apprehend. Or at least get in the way of.

I keep thinking I’m almost out of here, but before I find the right door I end up right back in this apartment.

Though really it’s been years, is there anything to even go back to

[adeadmonarch]

This is what happens when you’re so distracted. 

Really, if he hadn’t been bogged down with work and dodging all the needling questions about family and holiday plans, he would’ve noticed one of his alerts going off. Some home-made cobbled together thing with a single flickering red light. Piled together from scraps of every single Renegade who has popped up and left their mark on his life before managing to escape again. 

Just one, flickering red light. Alerting him of a time anomaly happening within the range-field he’d set up.

He didn’t even know the thing worked. He’s a glorified scout and historian, not a technician. Field stripping is one thing. This. 

But there it was. Red light flickering away as he passed by it, totally unseeing, for nearly a week of a work-and-alcoholic haze.

The “fuck” he screeched when he finally noticed could probably be heard from his own century. 

[adeadmonarch]

I don’t even know. It’s from a book about languages my friend’s been reading. (it’s creepy that I can understand it …)

[adeadmonarch]

Why such an issue with Thad if you're just as guilty though?

I think you’re missing the very clear statement here that he’s actively doing this willinglyversus fucking up, royally.

We’re both horrible, but he’s purposely being The Worst

[adeadmonarch]

So why hate Thad if you've committed the same sin?

The English word is hypocrisy, I guess. 

Though there is a large difference in his crimes; both are awful but he’s purposely committed what you’re calling a sin. There was no accident, he wasn’t too slow and slipped up. It was a deliberate event that changed the course of history, purposely committed by someone already going against the fabric of time itself.

-Thad runs by and chucks coal at Charlie- An early gift from me to you!

[( Fuck, ow?? What was--that’s a rock. ...Wait is that coal? This century still has coal readily enough to throw at people? )]

Thanks for the endangered resource, asshole. 

[adeadmonarch]

I heard Lisa got you a present at the five finger discount price!

Lisa got me a present?

[adeadmonarch]

I heard Jinx is basically made out of coffee at this point.

Oh, probably. I think everyone is. 

It’s holiday season and we work in a bar. Sure it’s like, a glorified sports bar, but people love theatrics and cheap alcohol. 

[adeadmonarch]

I heard you're actually a descendant of the trickster

Impossible.

[adeadmonarch]

So, you're all mad about Thad being a child killer, but didn't you technically also kill a child? Since you let them die?

I thought we’ve been over this a million times.

Yes.Yes. I took full responsibility for it. I’m still taking responsibility for it. 

I didn’t do my job well enough and someone died for it. That’s on me, that will always be on me.

How do you survive?

Beats me
