4th floor common room, Late Sunday night

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair stomped down the hall from his room, carrying Tributary and shaking popcorn from his hair. "I'm so sorry, Trib. She's just a very strange lady."

Tributary just shrugged sleepily and nodded. "Mommy said that you had a crush on her once. Said you must have a thing for girls who can beat you up."

"Shhhh." Blair said, lying on the couch and settling Tributary next to him. "Let's not talk about that where the radio squirrels can hear us."

"I dunno. Just yelled something about 'if I knew he'd just use it to stake a vampire I wouldn't-a spent two weeks on the damn thing, I'd-a give him a damn pool cue!'. So... I think you broke it? He was drunk when he said it."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Stake a Vampire? That never even occured to me."

[apocalypticson.livejournal.com]

"I mean, he was pissed that you broke it. Not that you used it for vamp duty. Cuz you probably had to. I dunno. Sometimes it's hard to make sense of him when he's like that, y'know?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah but it sounds like he at least has good reason to be drinking. Has he tried actual therapy?"

[apocalypticson.livejournal.com]

"THey run away screaming." Josh snickers.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Wusses."

[apocalypticson.livejournal.com]

"I know! I think he does it on purpose, to be all brain breaky."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Sharing the pain?"

[apocalypticson.livejournal.com]

"I think he makes some of the stuff up. But even his mom was good at it. My gramma. Oh, you should hear her stories of the loonie bin."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"His Mom was in the hospital?" He didn't know that. Maybe he wasn't supposed to.

[apocalypticson.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah. WHen dad was about 10 or something, they got caught at the border or something, and she spent some time in an upscale resort where they require spiffy dinner jackets."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Yikes. That sounds not fun."

[apocalypticson.livejournal.com]

"Oh, yeah. Dad busted her out when the second Terminator came."

Billy's mun does not remember what John told him when he thought that duke was the T-1000, so I'm just gonna guess

"Those are the killer robots right?"

[apocalypticson.livejournal.com]

John's mun had kinda forgotten about that whole Duke/T1000 thing and needs to go back and bookmark/tag it for future reference and snarking.

"Yeah. The one we sent was like the one that tried to kill Mom the first time, and the one they sent was like a liquid metal or something. Wierd."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah why can't killers just be your normal super-spy assasins?"

[apocalypticson.livejournal.com]

"Zactly! Wait. What?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Nothing. Just a regular robot would make more sense than liquid metal anyway."

[apocalypticson.livejournal.com]

"Right! But that's what they did, sent back some damn sentient goo robot thing. Dad ended up smelting him."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I like it." Billy grinned.

[apocalypticson.livejournal.com]

"YEah, they smashed the first one in a machinery press." He grinned.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"That's good too. Like the Warner Bros. Cartoons."

[apocalypticson.livejournal.com]

"Not so much the cartoony as it's the only thing that finally stopped it. Dad said that someone picked up the brain chip and the arm and used it at Cyberdine, before they decided to destroy 'em."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy facepalmed. "Playing Frankenstein never works out well."

[apocalypticson.livejournal.com]

"That's one of Dad's favorite books."
