[ Lucy what even. ] How are you doing that - you're taking like, all the words I say and translating them into something I didn't say at all. Where the hell did 'whore' come in; I never said that. I mean, we can have a celebratory over something drink, but not that, okay?

[mightbeconcussed]

Oh! No! I didn't mean like you thought whore. That was my own application of the word to me. [Her self esteem issues are a lot harder to hide when she's smashed.]

We should have a celebratory drink over you being a knight in shining armor.

[captainfuckingmagic]

That's... [ That's not any better, actually. Sort of. At least it's not something he said now. ] Why?

Well I'm not going to say no to either one of those, even if I think your definitions are a little off. In all directions.

[mightbeconcussed]

Why? [Give her a second to catch up.] OH! Well because I sleep around. Sex is fun and if i can make sure I'm not going to get hurt in the process by doing the whole not getting attached thing, why shouldn't I sleep around? Everyone else says whore. I say taking care of Lucy.

Pfffft we've had this conversation. I get to apply adjectives and stereotypes to you.

[captainfuckingmagic]

[ He handwaves, downing the rest of his glass. ]

Yeah, yeah, you get to call me whatever you want. I remember.

[mightbeconcussed]

[Beaming smile. She likes you, Harry.]

You are very quickly learning the way things work in Lucy Land. I think you're way above average on these things.

[captainfuckingmagic]

[ He turns to grin at her a little bit. ] The way things work in Lucyland is pretty straightforward, I think. It's kinda nice.

[mightbeconcussed]

I'm pretty upfront about how things are. I like things my way and I can't expect people to do anything my way if I don't tell them about it.

[captainfuckingmagic]

See that's really logical and makes a lot of sense, which is probably why most people don't seem to understand that general concept.

[ Also he's ordering himself another drink now. One that isn't really sweet, not that he didn't like those. ]

[mightbeconcussed]

I am a brilliant, logical mind, Harry. Also, spoiled but I don't think that's a bad thing.

[She's sipping on her Mint Julep and still leaning against him.]

[captainfuckingmagic]

My mom'd say that's a bad thing. She wasn't a big fan of spoiled kids. I think that's mostly just Taylor and Tyler Tuckers' faults though, with the daycare shit. And even I agreed and I was like, six. They were assholes. You - [ prod ] - not an asshole. Maybe there's a good kind of spoiled. Like just, over-ripe or something.

[ So maybe he's apparently starting to be hit by all the alcohol at once. ]

[mightbeconcussed]

[She giggles a bit at the prod.] So glad I'm not an asshole. It's actually a goal of mine. Don't be an asshole today.

[That's usually how it works.] Do you miss home, Harry? I miss home sometimes.

[captainfuckingmagic]

[ This question takes him slightly be surprise. ]

Uhhh. I mean. I don't know, there's shit about home that I miss, sure, but aside from Harry and... sort of Harmony, I don't really think I had much going on. And here... I maybe got a little more happening here - weirdly - so, you know. I'm pretty cool either way. Are you talking about just, home home, or the whole planet type home? I mean either way my answer's the same, I think, but, yeah.

[mightbeconcussed]

Just home home. Not as attached to the planet except that it has home on it. [She ponders the whole idea of it.]

I think there's stuff about home that I miss too. I loved here when Jill was here.

I just noticed I said Harry in the other one when I meant Perry.

[captainfuckingmagic]

Who's Jill?

S'okay I sort of figured

[mightbeconcussed]

[Lucy gets up and retrieves a framed picture from one of the tables. It's of her and Jill in the City. She sits back down and hands it to him.]

She's my best friend. Back home and she was here for a little while 'til the City sent her back.

[captainfuckingmagic]

[ There's a picture of them both in the bar on one of the tables.

Of course there's a picture of them both on one of the tables in the bar. ]

Nice lookin' girl. When'd she go back?

[mightbeconcussed]

[Tables are the best places in a bar to dance, Harry.]

February. She was only here a few months and sometimes, I think she liked it.

[captainfuckingmagic]

[ Wait were they actually on the table in the picture? I thought it was that the pictures were sitting on one of the tables.

Although tbh at this point idk if he'd be that surprised about where the picture was taken - his mild surprise just there was more that she and her friend were being used for decor. ]

Well, you know, it's not really that bad here. I mean there's something to be said for a place you can do heroic shit sometimes and still wake up the next morning. Orrrr... Have a big creepy clock, or meet people from another... whatever.

[mightbeconcussed]

[It's Lucy. What do you think?]

I think I'm having a phase. I loved the City a lot for a long time. I've just lost a lot of people recently and it's getting harder to like it, you know?

[captainfuckingmagic]

[ It's Lucy, she was probably dancing on the tables that were somehow deposited on the roof of the bar at some point in the night. ]

Yeah, I feel that. I've had that before. Not really a whole lot of fun. [ Nudge. ] But hey, I mean, I'll hang out with you anyway. In the phase.

[mightbeconcussed]

[Precisely! She probably supervised the depositing of the tables of the roof.

She smiles a bit sadly at him and nudges him back before laying her head on his shoulder.]

Harry, in a completely non-threatening way, platonic way, I think I love you.

[captainfuckingmagic]

[ In true, off-camera, Parent-Trap fashion, yes.

He considers this for a second. ] Thank you. I... think. Is that like being called 'safe'? Or is it just generically a good thing. I think it sounds like a good thing. So thanks! I mean. I'm sorry you feel bad still. But thanks.

[mightbeconcussed]

Safe and a generically good thing? I mean I feel like I'm safe with you, so that's good, right?

[She shrugs.] Right now, I don't feel much of anything so that's a plus.

[captainfuckingmagic]

Yeah, that's nice of you.

Wait, no, that's bad. You're not supposed to not feel anything - I'm pretty sure that's not great. You're not drinking things right. There's supposed to be all low and warm and talkative. Or possibly, you could get sleepy, or even angry, but if you're gonna get angry please don't do it around me.
