I take back what I said before, I'm officially taking applications for a new best friend. Any recommendations? I'm thinking House.

[headjacked]

Sure, sure, take House. Split with me. But remember, I get custody of Dumpy.

[phaseshifter]

That's cool, it means you also get Jack. Can I suggest you cozy up with Vasquez so you're not alone with him?

[ what an amicable friendship divorce this is ]

[headjacked]

You hear that, Dumpy? Angel's a MEANIEPANTS.

[ Dumpy wails. ]

[phaseshifter]

Am not! I'm making sure my precious nephew still has someone to take care of him in my absence. Someone who doesn't approve of terrible ties.

[ Just gonna blow a kissu at the Dumpster for effect. DWI. ]

[headjacked]

I still can't believe you were shmoozing with HIM. You know he'd kill Dumpy, right? Since... I shot his arm off with the, uh. The bigger drones.

[phaseshifter]

Schmoozing? Dude.

[ THE MOST. JUDGING. LOOK. ]

He seems kinda harmless here. Remember how out of our depth we used to be? Like that. Maybe worse. And if one of us is friends with him, he's less likely to do something douchey like swat Dumpy or bust your nose. Right? Schmoozing. Honestly.

[headjacked]

I call it like I see it! And... eugh. He's got another reason to avoid bopping Dumpy.

[ mmmyeah there's that LOOK ]

[phaseshifter]

Well, yeah. But he doesn't know th--

[ wAIT, ]

Oh my god. You didn't.

[headjacked]

I WAS DRUNK.

[phaseshifter]

SO WAS I, BUT I STILL MANAGED TO NOT SPILL THE JACK-WAS-INSIDE-YOU THING.

 

Did kinda tell him I'm Jack's daughter, though. Little bit.

[headjacked]

YOOOOU HYPOCRITE.

'Ladies, please. You're both sloppy drunks'.

[phaseshifter]

THAT'S DIFFERENT. I WAS SCHMOOZING AND SHUT UP JACK.

[headjacked]

'It's a free hellish apocalypse, girl.'

What, did we lose name privileges at some point?

[ Consider Rhys successfully baited. Jack just shrugs. ]

[phaseshifter]

Dude. Don't rise to it. Just treat the AI as impersonally as he treats you. Simple.

[ Jacktantrums are such old news, Rees. GET USED TO EM. ]

[headjacked]

He makes it so HARD.

[ Jack snorts and waggles his itty bitty eyebrows. ]

'The AI. Way to unperson me. And I thought you CARED about us!'

[phaseshifter]

He makes-- oh, dude, gross. TMI.

[ Step one: ignore Jack. Step two: innuendo in the presence of Jack. TEASING RHYS IS JUST A BONUS. ]

[headjacked]

'TMI, that's what I thought! Look, honeysuckle, you know I don't think of you like -'

[ Rhys seems to ageee, with the way he's kicking at Angel and EWWing. ]

[phaseshifter]

Dude, you said it. Don't blame me for things that you could'v-- quit kicking!

[ Kicking back would be super immature. Swatting like a five year old is fine, tho. Jack even gets a Look for "honeysuckle!" SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. ]

[headjacked]

[ KICK KICK this kick train ain't have no end!!

Jack cackles, both at this stupid(ly adorable, Christ these are children) display and the Daughter Look. ]

You're not supposed to have a dirty mind!

[phaseshifter]

Says who? I can -- stop it! -- spout unbridled filth like any other adult. Geez, if you saw some of my chats with Steph you would curl up and die.

[ A minor exaggeration. BUT SHUT UP OK SHE'S TRYING HER BEST TO BE A DIRTMONGER

EAT IT HYPERMANS!! ]
