Really, City? All I wanted was a hug from my best friend, is that too much to ask?

[ It's more than a little bit alarming, not actually being able to touch someone he quite regularly does. Eleven's perched on the edge of her sofa, his arms crossed, watching her for a moment. ]

I'm sure it will wear off, Amelia.

[waitedforyears]

[ She has her arms crossed as well and her frown is verging on a pout. ]

Curses. How did I ever think they were exciting?

Crepe sure is pissed about the fact she can't get close to anyone.

[waitedforyears]

Yeah, it's awful. And she can't even understand that it's a curse, can she.

[yourbestguysgun]

Nope. [ He sounds annoyed for a moment. ] She just keeps barking at Steve.

[waitedforyears]

Poor girl. So, you and Steve okay?

[yourbestguysgun]

[ No. Bucky can't touch. Somebody needs to be punched. ] Yeah, guess so. S'kinda weird though.

[waitedforyears]

Weird is one word for it, yeah.

[yourbestguysgun]

You and the Doc doin' fine?

[waitedforyears]

'cept for the bit where I can't even get a damn hug, yeah.

[yourbestguysgun]

[ Huffing. ] Yeah, it's a bum deal, Ames. I'd take a nap until midnight if I could.

[waitedforyears]

Best solution. Just go sleep and everything'd be all right when y'wake, that'd be nice.

[yourbestguysgun]

Me an' Steve used to try an' do that when we were kids. But then once we'd built the den it was kinda too exciting for sleep.

[waitedforyears]

I bet you were adorable. [ Happily latching on to the distraction. ]

[yourbestguysgun]

We were annoyin' and messy. Well, I was. Steve tried to be a good kid.

[waitedforyears]

Did you corrupt him?

[ironmanic]

Keep your hands and feet inside the ride at all times.

[waitedforyears]

Not much choice, do I?

[ironmanic]

There's gotta be an upside to this somewhere.

[yourbestguysgun]

Yep. [ Laughing slightly. ] God, I was such a terror and Steve just tried so hard to keep me behavin' myself.

[generated_anomaly]

Hugs are nice. Maybe you can get all the hugs when this is over. I've seen people bumping into nothing all day! It's very entertaining.

How do you talk to the City like that? Does it talk back? I've heard the library sings to people so it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to hear a City talking back to you when you ask it a question.

[waitedforyears]

Yeah? Let me know if you find one.

[ironmanic]

Does it work with just about anything? You could bounce off walls. Literally.

[waitedforyears]

It hasn't talked back yet. 's more an annoyance thing, really. Venting, y'know.

[waitedforyears]

You're still a terror. Remember the bar fight?
