[ ugh. ]

Well, I'm not giving you junk to hear it. That should be offering enough. You gotta come over.

[ikols]

I'm not omniscient, I dunno where you are. You don't wanna summon me with inherent directions, sling me the address.

[resurrxion]

[ FINE he'll send you his address through text. there. ]

[ikols]

[ What a HASSLE!!

He appears in the living room a moment later, whistling as an appropriate meme springs to mind. ]

Damn, son, you live like this?

[resurrxion]

Really feeling the love right now.

[ it's honestly pretty sad. look into this apartment and you'll see the face of depression itself. josh has lived here over a month now and the place is solidly lacking in any personal touches, save for what probably came with it. there are framed photos of spoons hung on the wall as he'd... well, he'd had no pictures to hang from them. and there is an actual go-bag next to the door, ready to be grabbed and slung on at moment's notice. ]

[ikols]

Josh, full offence: this is not how people live.

[ He turns around, pulling his coat away from a dusty, unused armchair covered in. Whatever was left on it. ]

This is how dogs live in derelict buildings.

[resurrxion]

Well, I was squatting in rubble a while before Emma found me so

[ he'll yank his blankets off the couch so there's space to sit.

At least it's not food waste. Just lack of care where things fall. ]

Yeah, that tracks.

[ikols]

[ Perching on an armrest, he folds his arms. ]

Has David been here to visit you?

[resurrxion]

I haven't been home much.

[ikols]

Where have you been?

[resurrxion]

Working at the hospital.

[ikols]

As well as living there?

[resurrxion]

I come here to sleep.

[ikols]

So you work all day and night and then come to this squalid den to rest? When do you see your friends?

[resurrxion]

Whenever I've got time off.

[ikols]

How often is that?

[resurrxion]

We're not here to discuss my work-life balance.

[ikols]

I beg to differ, I am here to discuss whatever I want about you because you're yelling at people like the crazy guy who thinks the pigeons in the park are his friend and tells off the ones that have more than two bacon bits in a row. Do you want to be crazy bird guy?

[resurrxion]

He started going off and acting like a jackass.

[ikols]

You started it!

[resurrxion]

No, I made a request he didn't fuck with reality here and he flew off the handle. And I wasn't the only one, either.

[ikols]

Billy said that at some point in the future he would try to create a new reality, maybe, he didn't say he was about to leap off the couch and do it here.

Don't be a pigheaded jock about this because you are afraid.

[resurrxion]

[ josh looks up sharply at that, empty eyes narrowing. ]

I'm not sorry. And I'm not sorry for being worried about losing yet another reality to someone deciding they know better than everybody else.

[ikols]

Well, you should be.

Not everything is a dramatic, world-ending disaster, not everyone is a shaky tectonic plate under your feet that may give out and let you down before you can glue them together. I know you feel it is your responsibility to do so but it is not, and you are being a jerk like ... like Logan. You're becoming Wolverine!

[resurrxion]

[ his jaw sets at those words, whole body going rigid like he's about to jump up and yell. instead he curls his hands, glancing sharply away. ]

Do you know what actually causes mutant problems, Loki?
