I think I've been here for half a dozen of these, now... and only one or two worth my while. Hn. I've been here far too long.

As always I'd appreciate it if you could point me on my way back home.

I could be better.

[But he could be worse.]

Do you remember visiting before? It's been a while.

[Video]

[dark_passenger]

Should I?

[Video]

[cold_dry_pieces]

It was more than a year ago. People forget this place all the time, coming and going. Don't worry about it.

How's the real world?

[Video]

[dark_passenger]

Fine.

Funny. I never expected to be making small talk with you.

[Video]

[cold_dry_pieces]

Last time I was home, you didn't know who I was. So we can't quite pick up where we left off.

[Video]

[dark_passenger]

...how does that work?

[Video]

[cold_dry_pieces]

Damned if I understand it. We hadn't even met. Not yet.

[Video]

[dark_passenger]

...oh.

[Video]

[cold_dry_pieces]

So.

How've you been?

[Video]

[dark_passenger]

If I told you, would it spoil the surprise?

[Video]

[cold_dry_pieces]

Probably.

[There's a hint of a frown, but it passes.]

Stuck here I don't have much to share on my own.

[Video]

[dark_passenger]

...you must be hungry.

[Video]

[cold_dry_pieces]

Sure.

[In more ways than one, of course. But there are better places to discuss things than the network.]

I'll buy you dinner.

[Video]

[dark_passenger]

There's an offer I can't turn down.

[Video] you know you want some action >_>

[cold_dry_pieces]

Where are you?

I'll meet you.

Sure :U

[dark_passenger]

Around some buildings... [Insert some more landmarks because IDK.]

<3!

[cold_dry_pieces]

[These weren't the circumstances he'd planned for a family reunion, but right now Brian will take what he can get. Certainly he isn't going to waste the opportunity; so, not much later, here he is.

It's only a little underwhelming.]

Hey Dex.

[dark_passenger]

[The family reunion was strange enough, having killed his brother back home. Stranger, that Brian had said they hadn't met yet. To say Dexter was confused was an understatement.

He stood against the wall of a building, very cautious of his surroundings, and stood tall when he saw Brian coming.]

Brian.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Been a while.

[A very long while, depending how you count. It's a little uncomfortable-- ironic, since of anyone in any world, the two of them are the most alike.]

I'd give you the grand tour but I doubt you're staying long.

[dark_passenger]

I'm not so sure that it'd be worth our time.

[cold_dry_pieces]

Dinner, then. I know you're picky about other things.

[Though he could use it right now, the clarity that only comes after a kill. He's too on edge to think of grand plans or great opportunities, after some of the visits he's gotten.]

[dark_passenger]

[There's a small wince at that comment... But he couldn't have really expected anything else. He'll ignore it for now.]

Where's good?

[cold_dry_pieces]

There's a decent sandwich place this way.

[He gestures, shrugging slightly. Brian takes a step closer, casually, only so he can lower his voice when he adds,]

People don't stay dead here, anyway. It's hard to have any fun.

[dark_passenger]

[He nods, eying Brian as he talks. People don't stay dead here... NOT something he wanted to hear.]

That explains some things.

[cold_dry_pieces]

[He casts a sharp glance at his brother, but doesn't say anything. Brian knows enough to guess some of what's in store, he just doesn't want to have it confirmed.]

You don't know the half of it.
