When you people say "things" happen every once in a while, are these "things" always so... I don't even know how to describe that. Involved? Difficult? Whatever it was, I hope it's not the norm.

But it looks like I got a little something for my troubles.

[ There's the sound of tearing paper as Jolt rips into the envelope, and quiet for a long, long moment.

Followed by the distinct crackle of electricity that causes a fair amount of static over the line for a second or two. ]

...

Yes!

You--

[And he's about to say "you should come too", like... well... usual. But stops.]

... get some rest... too.

[electrowhipit]

[ way to ruin everything, self ]

Yeah. Thanks.

...

[just going to flop on the couch now.]

... You're a friend, Jolt.

[electrowhipit]

[ quiet for a moment, but he nods ]

... Regardless of what I've said, I don't want to lose that.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[My his feet are interesting.]

... I don't either. At all.

[electrowhipit]

[ nods again, though Sideswipe clearly isn't watching him ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

...

And you're... gone... aren't... you?

[facepalming... so hard.]

[electrowhipit]

... [ shove ]

I'm right here.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[jumps a little - not being able to sense you is weird]

... You could have told me. Before I started... babbling.

[electrowhipit]

[ smiles a little ] You could have looked around.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

I thought you ran off again!

[flails his arm around.]

[electrowhipit]

[ steps back- easy there with the flailing ]

I'll have to make a point to be a little louder when I nod next time.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

You'd better.

[turning his head around to look at you]

Are we... all right?

[electrowhipit]

Yeah. Yeah, we're all right.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... Good. That's... good to hear.

[electrowhipit]

So... what are your thoughts on magic?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[... that takes him a minute]

On... what?

[electrowhipit]

Magic. [ totally serious about this ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

You're jo--you're... not joking.

Explain?

[electrowhipit]

Mimi tells me there's people around here with healing magic, and considering I'm standing here in a human body that somehow generates electricity, I'm almost willing to believe that.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[just. Stares at you for a minute. Or two. And then shrugs.]

If you believe it... Where do we start?

[electrowhipit]

We ask around.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... All right. Gives me something to do, I guess.
