he's floating over his bed.

[quipsandthwips]

[There's definitely a lengthy pause here as he tries to process this.]

I beg your pardon?????
Like the Exorcist??????????????

[lednikovyy]

is that a pop culture reference? I'm hit-or-miss with anything after the 40s.

[quipsandthwips]

Oh god, it must be like speaking two languages for that kid. He's probably suffering from the lack of pop culture jokes alone
no offense

But also why is the kid hovering over his bed like his possessed by demons???
Do I need to come over and help with anything? Is he hurt? Why is he floating? I have a lot of questions and I'm gonna just spam you with question marks til something makes sense

[lednikovyy]

then you'll be spamming me with them until one of us disappears

I've seen someone else floating like this before. she woke up after a few weeks. he doesn't look hurt. I think it's like some kind of magic sleep, but I'm going to remind you that you're asking an army sniper about magic here. I'm just as lost as you are.

[quipsandthwips]

Jesus
People just randomly float over their bed? no reason cited?
This place keeps adding to the 'weird and unnecessary pile'
Throw 'floating over bed' in there with 'turning into dolls' and 'killer snowmen'.

Um

Let me know if anything changes?

[lednikovyy]

that's the tip of the weird iceberg here and this is coming from a man who's letting his goat live in the house

you'll be the first to know

[quipsandthwips]

a.) that sounds like a lot of house damage waiting to happen.
b.) bless you for equal rights for goats anyway.
c.) thank you, in all seriousness.

[lednikovyy]

she mostly just chews on the couch and my shoes. I saved Peter's shoes in the closet. she can't open doors yet, so they're safe.

you got it. if some kid version of me was here I'd worry about him, too.

[quipsandthwips]

i was totally gonna leave it at that but i have to redact my equal rights joke and say oh my god, you should really build the goat a little shack or something. 😨

[lednikovyy]

working on it, but it's hard in the snow. in the meantime, I don't want her to freeze outside. it's not her fault that goats are naturally little shits who break everything.

[quipsandthwips]

I guess I can't argue with that
besides, it's not my shoes getting chewed on. 🐐

[lednikovyy]

I'm glad you understand.

and look, I'm worried about Peter, too, but I'm keeping an eye on him. it's not like when I died. I think he'll be okay.

[quipsandthwips]

When you died???
When was this? Jesus, Barnes, you can't just spring that kind of thing and not expect a lot of fervent worried typing.

[lednikovyy]

couple months back. I spent about a month feeling really sick, but otherwise I think I've been okay. seems like we can't fully die here.

[quipsandthwips]

God. Small mercies I guess.
this place is nuts.
I don't know if we should treat it as a given, though —
could have a certain amount of lives, like a cat

[lednikovyy]

and given or not, it wasn't pleasant. I'd rather avoid a repeat and I definitely don't want anyone else to have to go through that.

[ He's also pretty sure that seemingly dying is bound to be at least mildly traumatic for anyone. ]

[quipsandthwips]

Yeah, I agree.
Guess I'll just work some overtime and try to stop people from walking into it that kind of predicament.
If we can, we should - And other heroic phrases.

[lednikovyy]

if you ever need a sidekick, I have a metal arm and a can-do attitude

[quipsandthwips]

I dunno, I've had some pretty bad luck with metal arms lately...


but the can-do attitude makes up for it. I'll let you know if anything comes up.
