Sam blinked, pausing for a moment. “I’m…gonna pretend those places mean anythin’ and give me some context.” He’s…pretty sure he’s aware what a London accent sounds like. If anything, he knows what it sounds like when someone makes fun of one, and that’s gotta count for something, right? “An owl? I, uh, can’t say I have. Kinda th’ wrong time ‘a day for owls, ain’t it? But I’m guessin’ this is when y’ tell me it’s  not a regular owl, right? Don’ see why you’d be lookin’ for a regular owl.”

“  newcastle is north  ,  up near scotland  ;  london is  —  well  ,  london  .  it’s like if one of your parents spoke in a southern accent and the other was from  ,  like  ,  wisconsin  .  completely different vibes  .  ”  tim hopes that’s a good explanation  ,  because they don’t actually know if those two accents are distinct from one another or not  .  just kind of  —  assumed  .  “  uh  ,  yeah  ,  not a regular owl  .  she’s my pet  ,  but  ...  when she flies off she normally comes back within like an hour or so  ,  and she’s still not come back  ...  ”

It had been more than a few months since he, Gabby and all the rest of the blipped came back to life. The last five years had been a rollercoaster of emotions, something Logan didn’t handle well in high doses. While he had learned a lot from that time, he struggled with the though of putting it into action. Not to mention having to deal with the loss of some of the most important people in his life once again. He decided to take some extra time to try to get his head a little more right before he got back into the lives of people he cared about. Finally the day came he decided to get back to life as it was. He wandered around the city, keeping a low profile until he heard someone speak to him. “Hey.” He says while turning to give the person his attention as they spoke. 

@reshieldedstart

“  uh  —  hey  .  ”  yes  ,  he was trying to get the man’s attention  .  no  ,  he didn’t think he would actually succeed  .  the guy seemed kind of  —  lost in thought  ,  and tim almost feels bad for disturbing him  .  “  sorry  ,  but um–  do you know how to get to this place  ?  ”  he holds out his phone  ,  a slightly blurry photo shown on it  .  “  ‘s the only vet i could find around here that actually does  —  not regular animals  ,  but it’s on some weird side street that’s not on google maps and i’m not hugely familiar with new york  .  ”  crosses his fingers behind his back that this dude isn’t also not from around here  .  ‘cause that would suck big time  .

“Alright, I’m gonna need you t’ say that again. Prefer’bly without all the…” He waves his hands in front of himself, like that explains what he means. Were they talking too fast? Too loud? Repeatedly using internet slang he’d never heard? Didn’t matter, the gesture was a catch all. “ ‘Cause as it stands, yer speakin’ Klingon to me right now.”

@reshieldedstart​

“  ohhh  ,  ickle american can’t understand me and my fucking nightmare of an accent  ,  huh  ?  ”  tim snickers  .  “  you’re all good  ,  nobody else can either  .  it’s a right abomination  ,  but i guess that’s what happens when one of your parents is from newcastle and the other’s from london  .  ”  they pause  .  “  i was saying  ,  have you seen an owl around here anywhere  ?  about yay big  ,  looks cranky and behaves terribly  ?  ”

america chavez is a lot of things. headstrong. a survivor. kind of a bitch but if you call her that she’ll snap your wrist. caring, above all. what she isn’t, is stupid.

“don’t think i don’t know when i’m being followed.” she says loudly, not turning around.

“  i wasn’t  !  i mean  —  okay  ,  i kinda was  ...  but i swear there’s a good reason  !  ”  that’s got to be the least coherent sentence tim’s ever made  .  they pause and take a deep breath  ,  then try again  .  “  this is going to sound kind of insane  ,  but  —  i had a really strong  ...  hunch  ,  i guess you could call it  ?  that you might be able to help me  .  ”

Gwen snorted at the dark-haired caster’s comment - a mix of her own over-confidence and preparing for whatever he threw at her. She watched his lips carefully, not understanding his words but trying to catch what she could, “You’re a spellcaster,” Gwen hummed, waiting for some effect to come. It started slow, but soon an undeniable pain built up behind her eyes, like staring at the un for too long, “Ohhh-ho-ho! Clever one-” Her eyes brimmed, causing Gwen to lift up her shirt just in case tears began to fall, “Not bad, never met someone like you before.”

“  uh  ...  yeah  ,  i guess  ?  although everyone i’ve ever met goes by magician or sorcerer  ...  or occultist  ,  but i think that’s a whole separate field  .  ”  tim shrugs  .  they feel a little guilty for actually succeeding  (  and of course the one time their magic actually works is when they sorta want it to fail  )  ,  but what’s done is done and they can feel it wearing off already  .  “  really  ?  i’ve met more magic people in my life than there are in my hometown  —  not that that’s saying very much  ,  given there’s about a hundred people living there  ,  but  .  you get my point  ,  yeah  ?  it’s kinda surprising to know you’ve never met anyone like me  .  ”

tim turns at the sound of footsteps  ,  taking the outstretched phone gratefully  .  while he could always send yo-yo to retrieve it if he lost it  ,  it’s easier this way  ,  with no bribery involved  .  “  thanks  ,  ”  he says  ,  “  i don’t mean to walk fast  ,  it’s just  —  i’m used to it from always having really short connection windows between trains and buses  .  ”  really  ,  though  ,  the other should just be glad he’s not on his skateboard  —  then he’d never be able to catch up to tim  .  “  ha  ,  very funny  ,  especially with that outfit  ,  ”  they add  .

he rolled his own eyes, “i work nightshift, this is my early,” he reminded before giving out a yawn as they walked. “alright, alright continue tim.”

“  do you want a gold medal  ?  ”  they bite back  ,  “  you’re not the only one who’s ever worked night shifts  .  just ‘cause i’m unemployed right now  ,  doesn’t mean i don’t remember sleeping from six in the morning ‘til one in the afternoon  .  which doesn’t make it early  ,  by the way  —  just makes you late  .  ”  they think for a moment  ,  trying very hard to recall what they were saying before they were interrupted  .  “  yeah  ,  gimme a sec  ...  oh  ,  right  !  i was gunna ask  —  do you know any magic people  ?  i have questions  ,  but nobody to ask them to  .  ”

“I mean, you choose to interpret, but there’s not a lot that I can’t handle,” Well, obviously being stabbed and shit would hurt a lot, but Gwen had intended the dare in a more light-hearted manner, and wasn’t planning on bleeding out today, “If it helps, you can just try to think of things that won’t kill me.”

“  okay  .  see  ,  you should have opened with those rules  ,  ”  tim replies  .  “  because now i understand that the vibes are like  ,  sad dog videos rather than psychological warfare  .  ”  they think for a moment  .  “  yeah  ,  okay  ,  i think i got something  .  close your eyes for a moment  .  ”  they mutter a brief spell  ,  one supposed to bring negative memories to the forefront  ,  cross their fingers and hope it works  .  tim’s magic is  ,  after all  ,  unpredictable at the best of times  .

he’s not very TALKATIVE about the owl he’s got. which is fine. a talking owl is something she’s curious about, who wouldn’t be ? but she also knows trying to push from answers will just make the other shut down or lie. neither things she wants right now. or at all. ❝ well you can always try. ❞ there’s a smile that’s a mix of sympathy and humor. not everyday you can talk about ‘ owl training ‘. ❝ calling her dumb probably isn’t making strides in the training department though. ❞

“  yeah  ,  maybe  ,  ”  he says  ,  “  but you’ve never had to wear a beanie to school for a week after a bird decided to try to scratch off your scalp  .  so  —  i think i get some free reign to insult her  ,  yeah  ?  like  .  it’s karma  .  if she was nice to me  ,  she wouldn’t get called names  .  ”  and he’s rambling  ,  ‘cause that’s what he does best  ,  can’t explain anything succinctly for the life of him  .  “  besides  ,  i know she understands cause and effect  ,  so she absolutely understands that she’s only getting insulted ‘cause she’s acting out  .  ”

tim sighed, running a hand through his hair, “it’s too early for this shit.” he looked at the time, it was three in the afternoon. tim had only woken up an hour ago. “i need more coffee before we continue this conversation.”

@reshieldedstart​​

“  well  ,  there’s a coffee shop right there  ,  ”  tim says  .  “  or you could toughen up  —  it’s mid-afternoon  ,  it’s hardly early  .  ”  they roll their eyes  .  “  and now you’ve made me lose my train of thought  .  ”

“I dare you to try to make me cry. Bet you can’t,” Gwen’s eyes were already open like saucers, staring down their opponent like they were actually about to fight, “No sweat, I’m like a rock, baby.”

@reshieldedstart​

“  is this like  ...  a free-for-all  ,  or are there rules  ?  ”  tim asks in mild bemusement  .  “  ‘cause i can think of half a dozen things that would almost certainly reduce you to tears  ,  but  —  they probably violate the geneva convention or something  .  ”

>          @GRCCNBB asked     ;     scars & doctor !

scars:  how many scars does my muse have? where are they located on my muse’s body? how did they get them? what do they look like?

just the usual kind of scars  —  papercuts  ,  a few scratches from yo-yo landing on their arms or shoulders and digging her claws in  ,  acne  .  nothing particularly exciting  .

doctor: how often does my muse visit the doctor? do they tend to go routinely, or only when something is wrong?

never  !  literally has to be forcibly dragged to the doctor  .  tim has an attitude of  ‘  well if it’s really that bad then i’ll start dying and just go to the hospital  ’  (  which is obviously incredibly stupid  )  but also their immune system is like  .  super robust  .  maybe because of all the magic  .

>          @LANTERNSWILL asked     ;     the sun

19.  the sun  :  in general, how optimistic is your muse ? does your muse appreciate the small things in life ?

not very optimistic at all  !  they’re depressed as fuck  ,  so being pessimistic kinda comes with the territory  .  but they do try to appreciate the small things in life  —  nice sunny days with a bit of breeze  ,  yo-yo behaving herself  ,  those sorts of things  .
