[YEAH I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU GUYS ARE IN HERE. it's a comatose teenager hooked up to a bunch of machines.

it's really boring.] 

Comments

[julienned]

[but that would lead to perhaps a healthy relationship and we can't have that. ALSO THAT'S WHY HE LEFT THEM TO YOU DUDE.]

[skinofalizard]

[it would really just deepen the codependency]

Even though I hate thinking of us as a team that needs a leader...we both know that just ends with Wolverine and Cyclops fighting while we do all the work.

[julienned]

[one day!!! one day someone will realise it. also julian if he was awake would be just dude, i have been telling you this for ages.]

[skinofalizard]

[no one, ever. they'd have to care first

also hey you used to be all I'M THE LEADER HERE ME ME ME]

I guess we can't get away from it, though. Even here, there's always something.

[julienned]

[I AM. BETTER REPRESENT.]

[skinofalizard]

[but before you were saying you weren't

YOU CAN'T BE BOTH THE LEADER AND NOT THE LEADER]

[anyway, he's quiet for now. maybe he's done?]

[julienned]

[skepticaaaaaal.]

[skinofalizard]

[actually it seems like he is

SO LET'S TIME SKIP

walking in some time after Julian is up]

--Hey. You're up.

[julienned]

[he blinks in surprise but there's not the shocked looks that you'd ... expect from Victor now being symmetrical]

Learned to jerk off with your tongue yet?

[skinofalizard]

That's the first place you go to? Me jerking off? Man, which one of us is gay, again?

[but, he grins]

And who says I needed to learn?

[julienned]

I have to live with you. It's looking out for my own best interests. Vic, you have to jerk off for the benefit of the group.

But it'd better not be in the bed. That's weird.

[skinofalizard]

You'll never know.

[julienned]

I'll know.

[skinofalizard]

Yeah, apparently you know everything.

...who told you?

[julienned]

Ms Grey, when I woke up.

Sofia filled me in a bit more.

[skinofalizard]

[oh so basically you heard it from the worst possible person]

I already changed the rule to say "legs."

[not quite managing a smile at that]

[julienned]

Any bets yet on which one of us is going to lose a leg first out of you or me?

[skinofalizard]

Maybe we'll get lucky for a change and it won't be either of us.

[julienned]

Doubt it. I used up all my luck landing myself in a coma and keeping all my higher functions.

[skinofalizard]

Yeah, first thing I thought when I saw you in here was "man, that Julian Keller sure is lucky."

[julienned]

I rejected her offer to help her kill everyone here. I should have died.

Though that might not be luck either.

[skinofalizard]

If you had died, you would have just come right back.

And then I would have killed her.

[julienned]

You too, huh?

[skinofalizard]

I'd be more surprised if one of us wouldn't at least try.

[julienned]

And it's not like I'd be there to stop you.
