[...]

Awww, Noire, no need to be terrifyingly overprotective! I'm fine, you know? I've always met such nice people here!

[intendance]

[She just commits that name to memory. Because she might need to go bug Junko now, and this'll be terrible, oh no, why this--

But she grins and nods.]

All riiiiiight! Then we'll leave her out in the cold--or what was once cold and now is pretty great actually.

Everyone else can come though.

[intendance]

[.... back now, huh.

She frowns faintly a bit, and then she sighs.]

So Noire died too... I suppose it was pretty dangerous, but I didn't see her or Gerome there at all...

But I suppose I didn't last very long, so that doesn't mean much, ha ha!

[ok morgan]

[intendance]

[Yeah, that's enough to get her to look a little solemn. She didn't know Al well, but she'd been around enough to have seen him around every now and then.

...]

Soooo...we'll get it back! We've got two brilliant tactical minds on the job now, Beast Boy! We'll make it to happen, don't you worry!

...We might just have to get a little creative, knowing Yao employees.

[thebeastwithout]

((Sorry to break thread order, but I wanted to give you guys a heads-up that I'll be going out of town for a few days! Be back Tuesday.))

[He's silently thankful that Morgan wasn't making a big deal out of it since he had already gone through that whirlwind of emotion a few times.]

...Thanks.

I'll try and track it down ASAP. I mean, stealing it without him noticing would probably be for the best.

[bloodandblunder]

You've also been kidnapped more than once.

[intendance]

[...]

True!

Buuuuut that wasn't the fault of the people here! It was just this place being horribly, terribly rude!

[bloodandblunder]

But there were people here who were trying to kidnap others-- you didn't know any of them?

[particularity]

[No Morgan that's no good even your cheer and optimism won't work on her.]

Aa. [He makes a vaguely huffing sound as though to say he approves of this. Forget Junko. Hmph.]

I'm setting ground rules, though... just to make sure people don't somehow level the place.

[memlost]

[ok morgan...]

She told me a little about what happened with that statue stuff. Gerome wasn't with her either, and she went down pretty fast too, I think...

[ He looks again at her scar and unconsciously rubs the one mirrored on his own neck. ]

[memlost]

((No problem and have fun!))

[ Aaand not knowing Al at all, this Morgan assumes robot friend or somesuch. Just as devastating though... ]

Gosh, I had no clue. We'll do our best, Beast Boy! If there was ever a reason to whip out our A-game stealth tactics, it's this. If I remember any more helpful information, I'll be sure to let you know.

[intendance]

[..............]

They aren't any friends of mine.

[Said...quite simply--but perhaps a little coldly, too, considering it's Morgan.]

[intendance]

[She pauses at that, blinking at him. And then she giggles a little.]

I'll leave that to you, because setting rules is boooo-riiiing.

[Morgan's priorities]

Instead, I'll do the fun stuff! Like recruiting people and spreading the word and making sure we have delicious things!

[intendance]

[...which she notices.

And she laughs, because Morgan.]

Wow, even our scars are pretty close to matching! That's like the story of us, right? Pretty-close-to-matching-but-not-the-same Timeline Twins!

I'm glad this place is sticking with the pattern!

[intendance]

[((Have fun, Wighty!))

...but yeah, Morgan just nods along easily with what he has to say, because she agrees.]

We'll find a way! After all, not even invincible Zombie Things can stay awake forever!

[bloodandblunder]

... Did you know them?

[ sorry, Morgan, this is a painful topic for her too. ]

[intendance]

...Yes. But somehow, I wish I didn't.

[Because that betrayal is still bitter in her mouth.]

[bloodandblunder]

... I know what you mean. It really hurts, doesn't it?

[particularity]

I-it's not that boring...

[Morgan please...]

You're probably the best one for that job anyway, so... I'm counting on you. But I'll help out with those things, too. I figured we could just announce it.

[Give equal opportunity for interest. For new or old people in Haven.]

[memlost]

-- Oh hey, you're right!

[ Only a Morgan could be so cheered by this... ]

What are the chances, huh? Yours looks a little more vicious, but I definitely see the resemblance. I'll be glad if Haven doesn't see fit to duplicate the rest of our scars, though.

[intendance]

It does.

They...decide to hurt us, for the sake of the people who brought us here. And I know they have their reasons, but still...!

People like that deserve a bit of a lesson in manners and loyalty!

[intendance]

[Why are they so strange...]

We can only hope, right? That would just be rude.

[And then she flops back on the bed, because she's still exhausted and woozy despite her good cheer.]

Noire's all right, right? I mean, as all right as anyone can be who just died.

[bloodandblunder]

I'm not sure what kind of lesson that would take, though... I wanted to think they were controlled, like I was, but... [ yeah, no such luck. ]

[intendance]

[...]

They just didn't care about us. Isn't that right? They cared about us less than their orders, or they were obeying blindly, or they just don't care about us at all!

None of those things is okay!

[bloodandblunder]

I know... believe me, I know.

... But I don't understand it at all.

[ and those are two different things to her. ]
