[BRB RUNNING THROUGH THE HOUSE TO TRY AND YANK LANCE AWAY FROM THE PCD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD-

...wait where are his Natu]

......you didn't... you know. Really eat them, did you?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

only parts
too cold

[masked-elite.livejournal.com]

...Jynx and Bronzong?

[Way to have a part ice and part steel type, Will.]

[caped-elite.livejournal.com]

[Oh, goddammit, he's the only one allowed to panic in this situation. His voice is sharp.]

Do not listen to a word they say, Will.

[masked-elite.livejournal.com]

Lance- sir Lance, what if they ate-

[HNNNGGHKDA oh god his babies ;__; ]

[caped-elite.livejournal.com]

I said do not listen to a word they say.

[Yup, that's his "I am Lance and I do not fuck around" tone that he uses once a year.]

[masked-elite.livejournal.com]

[Deep breath.]

Y-yes sir.

[Resolve, he can have it.]

You... you either, okay?

[caped-elite.livejournal.com]

... I will extract as much information as necessary in order to figure out what they are.

No more than that.

[AKA: He won't go kill something. Yet.]

[masked-elite.livejournal.com]

I'll try, too.

[Still a little shaky.]

But- you don't really think that they could have- ...

[caped-elite.livejournal.com]

No!

[It's far more snappish than Lance intended and as soon as he says it, he promptly regrets it. He closes his eyes to center his focus.]

No. No. Let me do it, Will. Stay away from them.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

and the bells are quiet now

[masked-elite.livejournal.com]

....that's not funny.

[Deep breath, god, he feels like a child again.]

It's not.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

we can't hear the birds

for not seeing us

[masked-elite.livejournal.com]

Hey- how could she have picked up something from another dimension? That isn't fair-

[ELITE FOUR WRATH TIME.]

I'll find you- and I'll make you give them back. Sir Lance and I both will show you- [He sort of weakly tapers off there.] -we'll... we'll show you...

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

it's not fair

be careful
or we'll take the last

[masked-elite.livejournal.com]

[Oh fuck no, you did not just threaten his baby.]

If you so much as touch her-

[STAY STRONG FOR LANCE.]

...how, then? How do you take them? Where are the others?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

from everything

[masked-elite.livejournal.com]

That's not an answer.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

only if you're not

[masked-elite.livejournal.com]

What are you?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

(except on holidays, and we close early on weekends)

[masked-elite.livejournal.com]

There are things in my world like you, you know.

Morty would know what to do.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

that's not here
we don't like ghosts

[masked-elite.livejournal.com]

I don't care. Give Lance and I back our allies.

[OBVIOUSLY IF THEY DEMAND IT ENOUGH, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.]
