Three. [Video]

[hunt4commonwealth]

[Someone spent a lot of that breach making out with sex-changing Loki.]

Okay, that was a lot weirder than I expected. Someone please tell me that it doesn't get weirder than that.

[Private to Cato]

It looks like I'm going to be your warden. Let's meet up. In the gym in one hour. [It's as much command as request, although spoken friendly enough.]

[Spam for Rhade]

[Dylan knocked on Rhade's door once his mind had settled after the breach and he'd reassured himself to his satisfaction that he was not 16 again.]

[slayage]

{Sorry Dylan.] ... It gets weirder.

[hunt4commonwealth]

Well, damn.

[Private]

You okay?

[Private]

[slayage]

[BIG SHRUG.]

As far as breaches go, that one was kinda mild. Plus, sorta makes me feel a little better about never getting that "normal life" I always wanted. [YES SHE DID THE AIRQUOTES.] Not that the magic part was, I guess, normal, but everything else..

How are you holding up?

[Private]

[hunt4commonwealth]

Suppressing the urge to go around telling everyone that I wasn't exactly like that when I was sixteen, but otherwise okay.

I'm sorry about what happened to you, even if it wasn't really you.

[Private]

[slayage]

That could have been me. Except worse. Sans-Slayer.

[Little smile.] It's okay. I've had worse rumors spread about actual-me. Some of them are true.

[truth_is_cold]

[He opens the door, looking decidedly irritated.] They get stranger than that. They get worse than that. [He grabs Dylan's arm and pulls him in with no further explanation. No leather on today! And the shirt he's wearing is looser than usual... and even completely covers up his chest, for once.]

I need you to do something for me. [And he's off to the bathroom to get a cloth and something that'll disinfect and sting.]

[Spam]

[hunt4commonwealth]

[He takes a deep breath. Stranger. Worse. Not what he likes to hear.]

It's never easy.

[Rhade's actions catch his attention. And his clothes. Something weird must have gone down that he didn't know about.]

Sure, what do you need?

Re: [Spam]

[truth_is_cold]

"Professor Rhade" [he says tightly] was not sleeping with Buffy. Though at the moment I'm almost selfish enough to wish that he was because his bed partners were chosen as a matter of physical risk- [As he's done before. He probably shouldn't say that. But for now he puts down the cloth and bottle and strips off the shirt.

This man has been scratched, and bitten, and they are actually deep enough that if he doesn't tend to them some of them could scar.

Yup. Dylan. This is the ride he had in the breach.]

[Spam]

[hunt4commonwealth]

[Dylan's eyebrow go up.]

You look like you decided to go a few rounds mano-a-mano with a wolf.

[He steps closer in concern.]

Give me those. [He snatches up the cloth and disinfectant.]

[Private]

[districttwo]

[The first thing that he does is just...ignore this for a good long while. He liked that breach. It was like being back in the games again.]

...and if I don't?

[Private]

[hunt4commonwealth]

If you don't, then you'll miss out on a game I want to teach you. A game that tests your strength, dexterity, and coordination.

Re: [Private]

[districttwo]

[You had him at games.]

...Sparring?

[Private]

[hunt4commonwealth]

Close. Come down to the gym and I'll show you.

[inhistorybooks]

You'd be surprised.

[hunt4commonwealth]

I'd rather not be, but I'm getting the feeling that I'm going to be disappointed.

[inhistorybooks]

More or less. Wish I could give ya a better answer.

[hunt4commonwealth]

It's all right. I'm used to disappointment. I'll just suck it up and keep going, as usual.

[most_feared]

Yeah. They're pretty weird.

Sorry for the hard time, Hunt.

[Wait. Fuck.]

My last name's not Burner, by the way. Still just Kay.

[hunt4commonwealth]

Not a problem. People weren't exactly themselves, so it'd be unfair of me to holds things against them.

[darknessb4me]

It does.

[hunt4commonwealth]

[Hey, Dylan's been warned about you. But Dylan is an optimist who likes to give people a chance, so he answers in a friendly enough manner.]

So I've been hearing.

[lacksconviction]

Isn't that what schools are generally like on earth? I didn't think it was so strange...

[Basically what Loki learned is that he would have thrived in High School.]

[hunt4commonwealth]

[Hey, he was kissing you a lot not long ago. It's like all the awkwardness of a one night stand with only half the fun since he wasn't even himself.]

I was born and raised on Tarn-Vedra, so I'm afraid I wouldn't know. I don't remember my school being like that.

[lacksconviction]

[Dylan don't be so sensitive, it's not like they actually got past second base...

...

...

Probably.]

Tarn-Vedra? In all my travels through the infinite void, I don't believe I ever came to such a place?

Although I do find it hard to believe that it is some place where you played no sport, nor did you act lubricious towards women.

[hunt4commonwealth]

[Any base is more base than he's entirely comfortable with going to with a strange man he barely knows. A woman he barely knows, on the other hand, that might be different.]

It's not always very accessible. After the Fall it became completely cut off from the rest of the universe.

I did play sports there, but not quite so many. And I took my school work a bit more seriously.

[He's neither going to confirm or deny the bit about women.]
