A - Closed to Jamie

[ action; ]

[As promised, Gavin had told Octavia and Alan to behave and gone up to the mall a half hour after the middle school had let out and Jamie's mom took him there to "meet a friend" he was sleeping over at. He had to take him to the clinic for a secret refill on his inhaler, that was it, and he's glad to do it for his ...ahem, kouhei. So, he parks and walks into the mall, his hood pulled up over his blond hair as usual and looking through the crowds for the middle schooler... But he has a hunch about where he'd be. So, he heads upstairs and walks into the GameStop. If he's not there yet, he will be. Might as well pick something up all four of them can play on his PS3 while he's here anyway.]

B - Closed to Jamie, Octavia, and Alan

[ action; ]

[After Jamie's appointment, Gavin gets him in the car and straps in, driving home. It's nicer at night, less traffic, and they get back after a stop for some food and ice cream and other stuff he might need with three hungry teenagers and his own post-college appetite. He walks up to his third floor apartment and unlocks the door.]

Guys, I'm back. Jamie's here too.

C - Open

[ video; ]

[After all of the chaos dies down with the kids, Gavin logs onto the Network and while he looks tired from the events in the day, he's pleased. He waves at the screen;]

Hey. I hope everyone has been doing well, it's been a little crazy. From what I know, most of you have stayed safe and that's good. I'm already playing host to our fugitives here, but I hope everyone knows they can crash here too if they need it.

[Gavin is rather selfless, isn't he?]

I want to know, though, has anyone had... a memory of a big, three headed wolf... thing? Or a zebra thing too, I guess, but the second memory was a lot stronger. I got an item from it too.

[The Tag Ring Gavin's taken to wearing all the time seems to have multiplied, the other one he's wearing identical to the first. He's wearing the new one on his pointer finger, next to the original on his middle. He fiddles with both of them as he shows them off, and his eyes glint neon a moment before he sighs.]

Somehow, the new one seems even more important...

Nicknames are cooler than normal names! Fact.

[ Ohohoho. Devious lil grin time. ]

Know who else refused to have a nickname? Alan! You guys must be more similar than you thought, huh?

[wirsinddiejager]

Ugh. We are not similar!

[NOT IN ANY WAY EVER]

[drama8om8]

Just with the nicknames! Remember when you refused Al? And Allie? And Alleroo?

[wirsinddiejager]

Because those are all really terrible nicknames!

[drama8om8]

...Batmalan.

[wirsinddiejager]

...I'm okay with that.

[drama8om8]

I am not going to call you Batmalan that was a joke oh my god.

[wirsinddiejager]

I was joking too.

[honestopinion]

Doubt it, I bet he'd love to be called Batmalan (embarrassing nickname, by the way.)
It's just like his waifu after all.

[drama8om8]

 

 

 

...His waifu?

[honestopinion]

Yeah, his waifu.
He totally has a personal thing for Batman.

[wirsinddiejager]

OH MY GOD SHUT UP.

[drama8om8]

You are the actual worst at lying oh my god why are you the cutest.

[wirsinddiejager]

Shut uuuuuuup

[drama8om8]

Are my cutieclaims embarrassing you or something

[stagnantair]

Alleroo is pretty good.

[He's pretending to ignore them from the kitchen, but he can't keep that one back.]

[honestopinion]

EW! Don't compare me to him.

[The volume is raising in the room and so is Jamie's ability to speak up.]

[drama8om8]

Um, rude. Being compared to Alan is a compliment. He's a brave badass hottie! A street tough maverick with nothing to lose. And his butt is super amazing.

[honestopinion]

Are all fujoshi obsessed with butts? That's so gross, why would you care about Alan's butt so much you mention it all the time... [Please.. please don't let him linger on this subject..]

[drama8om8]

His butt is that great, okay. Like it might be as good as mine! That is how great it is.

Don't sweat it, though. I am sure one day you will also have a farly decent butt! Dare to dream, Jaybles. Dare to dream.

[honestopinion]

WHAT DO BUTTS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?!
[Octavia, you're making his poor cheeks just burn in embarrassment, Jamie can think of a few reasons why butts are nice but THIS IS NOT THE PLACE OR TIME, OKAY?!]

[drama8om8]

[ Dear sweet innocent Jamie. In Octavia's mind, every time/place is a time/place for butts. ]

Butts have everything to do with everything! Butts are of the ultimate importance in having a better life. Like, imagine you are walking past me on the street. And as you pass me, I turn around and say 'hey there, Jay-man! Great butt.'

[ FINGERGUNS! ]

Your day would be a little better right away! That is the power of butts. You are welcome for the explanation.

[honestopinion]

Ugh, you're such a fujoshi.. Your obsession with butts must spawn from that, gross. I don't even think real gay guys are as obsessed with butts as you are.

[He pouts.]

.... a-and don't call me 'Jay-man', it's Jamie..

[drama8om8]

If I'm a fujoshi, you're a neckbeard! A tiny neckbeard too young to actually grow an actual beard on his actual neck yet. Duh! But okay.

[ SIIIGHH... ]

'Hey there Jamie, great butt.' Better? Do you understand yet?

[honestopinion]

....A neckbeard? What that even mean? Is that some kind of racist slur for otaku?! [How dare you, ma'am.]

D-don't stare at my butt, right? That's weird...
[I.E. oh my god is a girl actually doing that?? Do real girls actually like him or have interesting in him even a little? He's sweating, okay, this can't be true.. this is a really awkward conversation, surely he just misheard something but did Otavia just say she was looking at his butt?]
