And let the costume party commence ...

[apocalypsos]

*glares at all of you*

If you're expecting a happy, shiny hostess, you're all out of your goddamn minds. Bar is in the back. Pool table's to your left. Jukebox is to the right. And if any of you pull anything, I swear I'll shove the closest weapon so far up your ass, you'll think you swallowed an armory.

Like you're not all dead already anyway.

*grabs a bottle of tequila*

*heads off with gun in hand to watch the door for suspicious characters gunning for my son*

Can you introduce me to this Lieutenant?

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

Just take Ed, here.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Dudes fall into the 'no way Jose' category, remember?

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

At least it would keep him out of trouble. *shrug* Trust me, you don't want to meet her.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Aw, c'mon, why not? What's the worst that could happen?

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

I can't answer that. But no. Anyway, when I'm in charge the women's dress code will have mandatory miniskirts. Just wait until then.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

You're no fun at all. I'll ask again when you're slightly more drunk. Or..

Hey, Ed? D'you got this chick's number?

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

*flat look* Trust me, you do not need to know. *grumble* Besides, I'll get even more work if she finds out I mentioned her in this place...

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Hey. I'm a nice guy. Trustworthy. A gentleman, even. Just ask Ma. Seriously, what could possibly go wrong?

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

She'll kill me. I'm not ready to die, yet.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

I make a very effective human shield. You can hide behind me.

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

She's my lieutenant. I'm not going to make her angry enough to shoot me when I depend on her.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Again, I say, yer no fun. Guy's gotta live dangerously sometimes!

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

Please don't say things like that? It's not as if we never see any danger. *wait for it...* Shit! I've lost the bean! *head against table*

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Ah, relax. I'm sure Ed'll be fine, so long as the bobblehead doesn't get ahold of him. Or the crazy lady. Or, uh, the other crazy lady...

...well, crap. Guess we better go look for him.

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

*sigh* He's so small there's not much chance of finding him, unless we step on him accidentally. Heh. *hangs head* Just great. Fuck you too, Fullmetal. *nurses his drink*

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

You guys have some weird names. Though I guess we have that at home, too - I hang out with guys called 'Robin' and 'Impulse'. *shrugs helplessly*

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

*gives him a weird look* As in, the bird and the response? Well... truthfully, I suppose our titles aren't the best. *saddened by this*

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

To Impulse's credit, the name at least fits, and Rob inherited his from another guy, so it isn't his fault his name sucks. Pickers can't be choosers when you're in the sidekick biz, you know? Though why a bird would help a bat is way beyond me.. 'least my name makes sense.

It's hard to work out good titles, really.

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

Wait, you inherit your names? What crazy world is this? The titles we have are given because of our abilities...

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Well, we kinda do it both ways. Some've us make our own names - like, say Superman. He's.. well.. super, I guess. Invulnerable-ish, can fly, really strong, and he can shoot frikkin' laser beams from his eyes. He doesn't need 'em attached to his head, like sharks.

...sorry, pop culture reference again. Ed never got those.

But, then you have a guy like me. I'm Superboy. I can do all that (but better, seriously), but since I'm (*grumble*) younger than he is, I get the -boy suffix. It's a little crappy sometimes, but logic dictates I get his name once he finally kicks the bucket, so..

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

That's... not very original. But you seem to have an interesting world. You don't use alchemy, either, do you?

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Not that I know of, anyway. Ed makin' a pool cue earlier was the first time I've seen something like that done called by that name. I know a lot of people who can do weird magic-y stuff, but it was a new one on me.

It's a pretty cool place. Crazy, but fun. If you're ever around Metropolis, y'should stick around for a week or so, take in the sights.

[castalidragon.livejournal.com]

The bean is unique. *smirks slightly, but not in too mean of a way* If I'm lost in your world, I guess I won't have a choice.

[callmesyd.livejournal.com]

Hey, if you're lost in mind, I know a bunch of people who're probably your best shot at getting home. Wherever that is. Alternate dimensions and trips to the future are kinda second nature to a lot of us. It's a weird town.

...why do you call him a bean, anyway? That 'incident' he mentioned didn't involve way too much Tex-Mex, did it?
