[Tommy looks tired, maybe just a little bit sooty.]

It's never a good sign when the sun doesn't come up.

[And well, tired he is.]

Don't get me wrong, it was a great show until it like, exploded. [His brow furrows slightly.] Anyway I wanted to say... if anyone needs a lift to the hospital or whatever, after all that... lemme know.


[ooc; i do actually have a thread up on the open log if you want to play stuff out, OORRRR feel free to just assume a rescue / chance meeting / whatevs. also please pretend this was a tad earlier, DW was being sluggishhh]

[For once they look identical: black haired and sooty.]

You would think summoning water wouldn't be so hard.

[He is leaning on his bro for support]

[team_sociopath]

[Device tossed aside, Tommy has no qualms about sagging against Billy.]

I thought sand was supposed to put fires out, anyway.

[inmyothertights]

Maybe?

[He flops on Tommy, they are only still upright in some fashion because they are leaning on each other]

Or make a lot of glass.

[team_sociopath]

Charlie said she was gonna try that.

[Well, supporting each other is probably one of those things twins are meant to do, if not always so literally.]

Seems like a mess either way.

[inmyothertights]

Yeah no more mess.

You're gonna be washing soot out of your hair for the next week.

[team_sociopath]

[Frowning he runs a hand through his hair, not really self-conscious but definitely irked at the audacity of soot.]

Billy, are you going gray?

[he mutters in a high pitch, mimicking no one in particular.]

[inmyothertights]

You wish.

[team_sociopath]

Please, being mistaken for you is the lamest.

[inmyothertights]

Who has ever mistaken you for me?

[team_sociopath]

[That just gets an eyeroll.]

[inmyothertights]

I'm going to take that as a 'no one ever.'

[team_sociopath]

Try "everyone ever," right after we met?

[inmyothertights]

Teddy never has.

[A fact for which Billy is eternally grateful.]

[team_sociopath]

Thank God.

[Actually he kind of laughs at that, there's no vitriol in the words. It sounds a bit more like a cough. Tommy is so tired.]

[inmyothertights]

[They are both exhausted, as evidenced by the fact that Billy just slumps his head on Tommy's shoulder]

[team_sociopath]

[He might hassle Billy about it if he had the energy.]

Today sucks. I don't even wanna get up to go home.

[inmyothertights]

I would 'port us over but so much work.

[team_sociopath]

[Tommy just groans, and flops more decisively back against his brother. Five ore minutes and he'll get up, really.]

[inmyothertights]

[Billy loves you, Bro, so blue light and a second later, and they're home]

[team_sociopath]

[Home is a good place to be, and he stretches his arms, shoulders protesting.]

Oh man, I owe you one.

[inmyothertights]

I'm just glad you're too tired to throw up.

[team_sociopath]

Are you kidding, I need all those calories.

[inmyothertights]

I think we might have oreos.

[team_sociopath]

I think I ate them yesterday.

[inmyothertights]

Poptarts?

[team_sociopath]

Ohhhh, pop tarts.

[That is enough to get him moving.]

[inmyothertights]

They're above the fridge, can you get me one?

[Billy is now slumped against the sofa.]

[team_sociopath]

[He vaults over and onto the sofa, only because momentum makes it just as easy as crashing into it, box in hand.]

Just one?

[inmyothertights]

I want one of the foil packagy things.

[REACHING]

[team_sociopath]

[Tommy snatches one foil package out of the otherwise full box, and presents it, before Billy's hand can make it into the box.]

[inmyothertights]

[Billy's eyes flash and two foil packages are suddenly in his hands]

Thanks.

[team_sociopath]

[Jerk.]

You're welcome.

[He's not sulking.]

(voice.)

[godofabs]

Most troubling, is it not?

(voice.)

[team_sociopath]

It kinda looks like they messed something up. I mean, if they just wanted to set a fire they'd probably just set a fire, right?

(voice.)

[godofabs]

I do not pretend to know what these deities are thinking.

(voice.)

[team_sociopath]

I dunno if anyone ever does.

So, Charlie said you and her were gonna try something with the sand?

(voice.)

[godofabs]

Yes, we are going to make glass out of lightning. Did you wish to come?

(voice.)

[team_sociopath]

If you think I can help, sure, but probably all I could do is blow it up. Which kinda leaves us back where we started.
