Room 414 [Friday Night]

[wannabehunter]

If you'd asked her yesterday morning, Jo would have said that she'd reached a point where Fandom couldn't surprise her any more.

Then her dad had shown up, and suggested she and Edmund go to dinner with him.

Mom had never mentioned he was so good at interrogations.

[For the fellow interrogatee. Getting NWS in comments]

"Tell me about it. Even turning into a doll that one time was less weird."

"You're going to miss it," he said, poking her in the arm to get her to admit it.

[wannabehunter]

He was just asking to be poked back. "Course I am. This island weird, but it's my kind of weird."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

The 'oof' sound that came as a result of the poke was a bit weak. "I would say you should stay, but I suspect I would meet your mother sooner than either of us expect after that."

[wannabehunter]

"Complete with shotgun, and she's an even better shot than my dad."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"I'd rather avoid the business end of a shotgun if it's all the same."

[wannabehunter]

"Killjoy."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"Do you really want an interdimensional incident on your hands?"

[wannabehunter]

"Only if it was the fun kind."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'd be dead or badly wounded if your mother's aim wasn't thrown off, and then my brother would probably declare war on the United States, or at the very least make them sit through some very lengthy diplomatic meetings."

[wannabehunter]

"Not really the fun kind then."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"Do I want to know how there can be a fun kind of interdimensional incident?"

[wannabehunter]

"They usually involve explosives of some sort."

Jo had an odd idea of fun.

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"Ah, see, we have different views on incidents. You're the one who starts them. I'm the one who cleans up afterwards."

[wannabehunter]

"Clearly you need to start a few more then."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"I have enough incidents to deal with in my own universe," Edmund protested.

[wannabehunter]

"But you just said you don't get to do the fun part."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"Regardless of whether I start them or not, I have to finish them. There's no weaselling out of that part."

[wannabehunter]

"True. You're all noble like that."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't call it noble. Sensible and responsible perhaps."

[wannabehunter]

"And just?"

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"That part is in the title."

[wannabehunter]

"So it must be true. If it's in the title."

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"You would think so, but it's not as easy as it sounds. Have a title and you're just all of a sudden. If only."

[wannabehunter]

"Instead of being just Edmund?" She thought she was funny.
