What do you want?

[skyward_eyes]

Yeah I suppose that could be a thing. Don't know. Don't have enough experience.

[shipitsupersonic]

Fifty is old. I'm not fifty.

[skyward_eyes]

It's not years that make you old, TC. It's experience. And from what you've told me so far, you've got the experience. Anyone who survives something like that has been through a war, and war ages you.

[shipitsupersonic]

If you're counting that way, I'm just about four million years old.

[skyward_eyes]

And I'm about thirty. What do I care about numbers? You guys don't even have the same names for months so I don't even know how old I am here, if I lost any time going through or whatever.

[shipitsupersonic]

I don't know about all that geeky stuff. Sorry.

[skyward_eyes]

Wow, reading calendars is geeky?

[shipitsupersonic]

Did you interrupt my hangover for a reason, kid?

[skyward_eyes]

Oh. Shit. I did? Sorry. I'll leave you alone then. I hear there's nothing worse. Sorry.

[shipitsupersonic]

I will live. Not the first time, won't be the last.

[skyward_eyes]

Yeah, but I'll leave you alone until it's gone. I just wanted to make sure you had my contact info.

[shipitsupersonic]

Yes. You are in my contacts list. With a name, even.

[skyward_eyes]

Score?

[shipitsupersonic]

We used to use emojis ... for privacy.

[skyward_eyes]

Oh wow. I can get that. We used codenames in the field.

[shipitsupersonic]

Codenames are co-ordinated, but we used them too. Contacts, on the other hand, were personal. So even if they picked up three phones, for Meg we'd have a heart and a bomb and fire, but fire on my brother's phone meant something totally different. They try to cross-reference and they end up ordering Chinese food.

Then again, my little brother used to answer the phone like he was taking orders for pizza.

[skyward_eyes]

Well that is a great counter-intelligence set up.

[shipitsupersonic]

I would describe most things he did as counter-intelligent.

[skyward_eyes]

Not what I meant.

[shipitsupersonic]

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

[skyward_eyes]

Huh?

[shipitsupersonic]

My brother is an idiot. Sometimes that worked out for him.

[skyward_eyes]

Sometimes stuff like that does.

No, seriously, his latest appearance is welded to the wall.

[shipitsupersonic]

And sometimes he ends up duct-taped to the wall with a ball-gag in his mouth.

...come to think of it, I never figured out where the gag came from.

Re: No, seriously, his latest appearance is welded to the wall.

[skyward_eyes]

You... probably don't want to know where the gag came from. At all. I definitely don't.
