Waking up the day after a curse is like waking up with a hangover, except without the fun part.

Um.

Does anyone want some, like. Motivational posters?

And by some I mean a lot.

Well, Suzaku doesn't like to decorate. It might cheer his room up a little.

[team_sociopath]

I'll pick out some of the baby animals or whatever before we get rid of the rest.

[deadly_legacy]

I appreciate it. And if one of them was a kitten or a cat that would be even better.

[team_sociopath]

Kittens, gotcha.

[deadly_legacy]

Thank you, Tommy.

How are you? Other than the posters.

[team_sociopath]

I'm getting by.

[deadly_legacy]

Just getting by?

[team_sociopath]

That's not enough?

[deadly_legacy]

Ah, well, I guess that's up to you.

[team_sociopath]

...I'm all right.

How're you?

[She looks thoughtful for a moment. The bruising that was around her neck from where Lucifer grabbed her was mostly gone.]

Better. I'm glad last week is over. [Sam, Huey, Chris—all city!dead now. Hanna badly injured and recovering at the hospital.]

[team_sociopath]

Better is something to be glad about.

[deadly_legacy]

I think so too. I hope they just keep getting better from here for everyone.

[team_sociopath]

You're always so optimistic.

[deadly_legacy]

It's... better than the alternative, isn't it?

[team_sociopath]

Probably.

[deadly_legacy]

But you still prefer it the other way?

[team_sociopath]

Pessimists are hard to disappoint at least.

[deadly_legacy]

That seems like an optimistic way to look at pessimism.

[team_sociopath]

Isn't that an oxymoron?

[deadly_legacy]

Probably. Or a paradox.

You must be doing the impossible. [Smiles]

[team_sociopath]

I do what I can.

[deadly_legacy]

[She wonders if he'll say anything about what they talked about last time, but she isn't going to ask.]

You seem to do a good job of it, Tommy.

[team_sociopath]

"If you believe it, you can achieve it."

[SARCASM ALERT. He's reading off a poster. A stack of 'em. As for the other thing? Avoidance: it's what's for dinner.]

[deadly_legacy]

That's very inspirational!

[No rush.]
