"Were there unicorns involved?"

Pagan is never getting over that. He's also never letting Fitz live that down.

"Weird alien kid with a magic dog, actually."

It had been slightly less terrifying than being mugged by a horse with a giant horn, but only slightly.

From:

crab_rangoon

"That is somehow worse!" he laments, dramatically throwing an arm over his face. "What's worse than a thug of a unicorn? A child, obviously."

From:

"The real surprising bit was that she never tried to mug me for chocolate. That's the sort of thing you expect from a kid. Horse you think will get right to stomping."

From:

crab_rangoon

"What did she want? What did the fucking dog want?" he wonders.

From:

He reaches out so he can put a hand on Pagan's arm.

"Believe me when I say this: I have absolutely no idea. There was something about the big bang? The dog might have nobly sacrificed himself?" He takes another drink. "The important thing is that everything was probably more or less fixed, in the end."

From:

crab_rangoon

"More or less." He puts a hand over Fitz's and drinks deeply, setting the empty glass aside. "Do you not question these tasks you do?"

From:

everythinglost

"Yeah, but we don't know the full story until everything's done. I understand the explanations, even! Some of the time. But I made my best punch for Anji's staying home party and I don't remember a ton of that day in general."

From:

crab_rangoon

He laughs, cackles even. "Now that sounds like a fucking party!" he decides. "You shouldn't ever remember a good party, Fitz. Have I taught you nothing?"

No.

From:

everythinglost

"Every day I'm glad you've taught me absolutely nothing. You can tell from the lack of coke at the party."

From:

crab_rangoon

He laughs, waving a hand. "I like what I like. That was my deal, you know. To have some time of not dealing with the effects of my bad decisions. But - it does mean I can still ride that particular pony."

From:

everythinglost

"I mean, it's certainly one way to party when you're really depressed. Actually, I have my suspicions about Anji. She was one of those brokers. She keeps saying it was before her time and that I just watch too many movies, which sounds very suspicious to me."

From:

crab_rangoon

He snickers at the thought. "I met Anji," he reminds him. "And she was not the same as me. She knows better."

From:

everythinglost

"Anji had a real job. The ways she's nothing like you are legion. But I did watch parts of 'The Wolf of Wall Street', and it was unjust of her to claim I only turned it on when she entered the room. I turned it on five minutes before." He grins. "And that's why you always want a little unpredictability in your life."

From:

crab_rangoon

He rolls his eyes. "I don't like unpredictability! I like being unpredictable!" he complains. "But if that doesn't describe me completely, then I don't know what does!"

From:

everythinglost

"As it's been far too long, I won't offer alternatives to how you could be described completely. I'm thinking of them, but I'm not saying them. I always forget how nice it can be to feel the sun every so often."

From:

crab_rangoon

"You'll end this adventure in my basement if you run your mouth too far, my boy," he warns very playfully, nudging him with a bare shoulder. "And then I suppose I really can meet your Doctor."

He brings his glass up to take an obligatory shot.

From:

"I just knew you'd have a weird basement. It's just the sort of thing you can tell about someone. You're like, 'look over there, that's the guy who would have a weird basement' only to face disbelief right up until everyone ends up there. Classic situation."

From:

crab_rangoon

He sits up. "Fuck you. It's a nice basement! There's carpet, which, before you attack me for being tacky, is actually rather comfortable and is not covered in fucking gold paneling. That's what I hated about Kyrat," he sighs. "There was too much gold. And they weren't doing the right things with it!"

From:

everythinglost

"Hey, I'm not complaining. The first thing I look for in a weird basement is whether it has a carpet, and if it does I immediately feel better about it." He nods, seriously. "I like to be as tacky as the next man, and you're the next man so that says it all. But I've never really been able to vibe with gold paneling. You can go too far with gold."

From:

crab_rangoon

"You can. I mean - I did make gold statues of myself." He waves a hand. "That era of my life is over, but I do - I do love a gold statue of me."

A pause.

"Or Eric. Close enough."

From:

everythinglost

"I was gonna be generous and not bring up the whole insane matter of having a gold statue of your body double. Even though it is the sign of a very unwell mind."

From:

crab_rangoon

Pagan just rolls his eyes again. "I think that you simply haven't experienced the pleasure of it. But I know you have your little fucked up issues with it. I won't hold that against you."

From:

everythinglost

"Look, I do have a lot of fucked up issues, but also if you asked any normal person on the street they would agree that it's very weird. If you're going to make a super tacky and embarrassing statue, at least it should be of you. Put your whole heart out there."
