[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.]

[also clones and people on fire]

[skinofalizard]

[maybe a death or two. but only if the dead people are suitably forgettable]

I'm not going to let her hurt anyone else. And I'm definitely not going to let one of the others take her down.

[sad chuckle]

Alani actually offered. That's how messed up we've gotten.

[julienned]

[you're breaking his heart Victor :(]

[skinofalizard]

Meanwhile, I can only open up to someone in a coma. God, I hope you can't hear this.

[julienned]

[FORTUNATELY HE WILL NEVER TELL.]

[skinofalizard]

[you're a good friend, Julian]

I remember when I could actually talk to you about things when you were conscious. I kind of miss that.

[julienned]

[yeah well sorry about that.]

[skinofalizard]

Not that that's your fault. I'm always so focused on just being there for everyone else that I don't even let myself think about myself.

[julienned]

[that's because you're dumb. and also because julian is doing the same thing. maybe the two of you ought to work on that.

in bed.]

[skinofalizard]

[july will be here before we know it]

That's something you never get about me. You think I'm always seconds away from snapping myself, but as long as a single one of you is still around, I'll never break.

[julienned]

[let the healing light of mistletoe help them all.]

[skinofalizard]

[if Julian would just accept it, they could help themselves more than twice a year]

Guess I can more of a leader than I like to think.

[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.
