Library [03/07]

[furnaceface]

It was just another day in the library, damn it.

Jono had heard the radio last night, yes, and he was well aware that the entire island had gone absolutely barking mad, but, come hell or high water, he was going to do his best to make certain that today was just another day in the library, damn it.

... Mostly, this involved playing Farmville.

Or Decibel!

"And he kept making these odd leaps in reasoning. Which were right, but still unsettling."

Oh god, Batman was also Layla Miller.

Layla certainly filled that cowl and body armour out in new and exciting ways, didn't she?

//He's not from th'future, is he? That'd explain it.//

People clearly sucked at coming up with codenames in the future.

Ergo, Decibel. Yes.

Ah, ah... Marvel Girl.

"He's not from any of our timelines, no." Hey, her kinda kid was from the future. She could tell these things.

...plus she had godlike powers that were poorly defined.

Super-mutants with poorly defined powers, unite!

... Okay, Jono wasn't a super mutant or anything. But someday. Maybe. If they ever figured out what they were going to do with that Apocalypse blood transfusion mojo.

Anyhow.

//That's probably a relief, gel,// Jono decided with a small, knowing sort of nod. //I might have t'laugh at him if he was.//

"I think he'd start in on being the Goddamn Batman and how he trained to be the best at everything."

Everything, Jono. He even mentioned fucking in the list.

Re: Afternoon

[furnaceface]

//Everything?//

Jono was inclined to disagree. He was totally the best at being without a face.

... Unless you counted that Fever Pitch guy. Who looked kind of like Jono would look if his powers kept eating away at him. Only with a lower jaw under all of that fire. Asshole.

Re: Afternoon

He totally was.

"Including training children to be vigilantes."

And swearing a lot.

Re: Afternoon

[furnaceface]

//Sounds like a real charmer,// Jono replied. You could practically taste the snark in that sentence, yes.

Re: Afternoon

"I think it's best to hope that's just an aberration." Or, you know, smack Bruce upside the head later. "You have changed, I see."

Re: Afternoon

[furnaceface]

//Have I?// Jono quirked an eyebrow at that, looking over at Jean curiously. So far as he could tell, he and Jak were possibly two of the only people on the island who happened to still be in their right minds. //Is that a good thing?//

Re: Afternoon

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Just from being here." Jean looked him over for a moment before turning her focus back on the books. "It's good for you."

And less soul crushing emo.

Re: Afternoon

[furnaceface]

But he was so good at soul crushing emo.

//I don't want t'leave,// he admitted after a moment, turning his eyes toward the desk. //Here is...//

He shrugged. //Good for me. Like yer said.//

Re: Afternoon

[ihavenocodename.livejournal.com]

"Just remember there are places like this," Jean replied with a smile.

Re: Afternoon

[furnaceface]

//That much'll be easy enough,// said Jono, and he nodded. Jean seemed to be Jean, no matter which Jean he was talking with. //Th'trick 'll be finding a way to come back to them.//

He didn't seem to do so well, out there.

But then, he suspected that Jean didn't need that explanation, so much.

Re: Afternoon

"You'll find a way." Or get clown lips.

Re: Afternoon

[furnaceface]

Hey! He totally made those clown lips look good!

//I suppose I'll have to, won't I?// He shrugged. //And you? How do you do it?//

Aside from eating suns.
