[At first, there's just a rush of air over the mic. It stops short for a long moment, instead picking up only the normal background noise of the City. Then, softly and irritably,]

Oh, man...

[The rush picks up again-- in the other direction, not that you can really tell. It pauses again. Then picks up for a minute. Then pauses. Starts again. Then, having traversed the City four times or so, Tommy stops and sits down on a convenient bench, not tired but certainly frustrated.]

Sooner or later one of the others will-- Hey, what's-

[BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP]




[ooc; open for action but please try to leave me a little wiggle room to maintain continuity? ;D also feel free to mistake him for Billy, now and forever and ever. <3]

Well I have a couple of roommates but I'm totally not moving you in, we don't have enough room, unless you want to sleep in my bed.

[The suggestion is followed by a raising of the eyebrows that says 'I know you don't want to']

So we'll just move back to the place that I used to live in with Kate.

And I work in a bookstore. And take care of a cow.

[action]

[team_sociopath]

[The epic eyeroll confirms that suspicion, Billy. He kind of glosses over most of this though, because...]

A cow?

[action]

[inmyothertights]

Her name is Jean.

[action]

[team_sociopath]

Why are you taking care of a cow named Jean.

[action]

[inmyothertights]

She used to belong to my boss, then he was kidnapped by Nazi's, and then he went home. I couldn't let her starve.

[action]

[team_sociopath]

Shouldn't cows be on farms or something? And Nazis? Really?

[action]

[inmyothertights]

She doesn't live in my apartment, Tommy.

[action]

[team_sociopath]

I know that.

[At least, he hoped that.]

But, if she lives on a farm, isn't there a farmer to feed her?

[action]

[inmyothertights]

No farmer. She lives in a stable, and she has a little field she hangs out in in when the weather is good.

[action]

[team_sociopath]

Man, you've really settled in here. Keeping livestock and everything.

[action]

[inmyothertights]

[He shrugs again]

It's just what it is. No big deal.

[action]

[team_sociopath]

[That gets kind of a doubtful look, but sure.]

Sooo no bad guys to beat up? No Avenging to do?

[action]

[inmyothertights]

[He shakes his head]

No way, man. In the past few months we've had exploding libraries and people attacked by monsters and zombie sheep.

[action]

[team_sociopath]

[Blink blink.]

I am seeing a farm animal theme here.

[action]

[inmyothertights]

Pure coincidence, I assure you.

[action]

[team_sociopath]

Right. [Another eyeroll. He ticks Billy's main points off on one hand.] Guide, apartment hunting, feeding livestock. You forgot something.

[action]

[inmyothertights]

What?

[action]

[team_sociopath]

The feeding-big-brothers part.

[action]

[inmyothertights]

We'll get a pizza on the way home.

[action]

[team_sociopath]

See, now that is a plan I like.

[He hops up, having exhausted his ability to stay still anyway.]

[action]

[inmyothertights]

You can't run off.

You have to walk.

[action]

[team_sociopath]

[That isn't a surprise, really, but it still warrants a long-suffering sigh.]

Fiiiine. We'll walk.

[action]

[inmyothertights]

I guess we can fly, too. I'm getting better at making people fly.

[action]

[team_sociopath]

I'd kinda rather stay on the interdimensional ground.

[action]

[inmyothertights]

You just want a quick way out.
