64,01 - Promises I never meant to break

[ She’s not just late. She’s months late. And boy have things changed in those months. ]

Hey!
Um, I just want to start off by saying that this was totally not my
plan. And I’m not entirely sure how long I’ve been gone, but the school
semester is over and I have no clue what happened or why.

Other than that… I’m back! Yay?

Does this mean you missed me?

Private

[ichoosefight]

I missed you too, you big softie! Insomuch as one can miss someone when your memory's been wiped.

You a warden yet?

Voice

[wardennolonger]

Pardon the somewhat random interruption, but would I be right in assuming you chose to be here? That is what it sounds like...

[A hasty, last second addition--]

And what was that about waffles?

Voice

[ichoosefight]

Yup, I'm a warden. By your tone I'm guessing you didn't?

I said they're delicious and I can cook them.

Voice

[wardennolonger]

I didn't choose to board any ship, if that's what you're asking.

But you're a Warden? Does that mean this ship is Warden-run? I hardly thought you lot were at all interested in hunting me down now. Bigger fish to fry, and all that? I can't be your biggest fish.

That's good to hear. None of the Wardens I traveled with were much for cooking.

Voice

[ichoosefight]

No, technically it's Admiral run. Or just plain not run at all, depending on the atmosphere.

I hate to break it to you, whoever you are, but you're an inmate. You've been snatched from whatever universe-slash-planet-slash-largest-population-center-you-have-a-name-for and brought on board to fulfill the Admiral's unnamed requirements for 'redemption'.

But I can still make you waffles if they haven't moved stuff around too much in the kitchen.

...[Well. Damn. First another Doctor and now his old warden. This isn't a normal day. So, just allow Dallas to respond in the only way he knows how:]

Get lost.

Private

[ichoosefight]

Well, that's one out of three. I could find out everything else on my own, but it's only polite to ask first.

Private

[failed_bluff]

I don't give a shit. You fucking left and now you come waltzing back like it ain't like nothin' happened.

Private

[ichoosefight]

I didn't leave. I was dropped. Through the very fabric of space and time, and very much against my will.

And I'm not waltzing. I don't even know how to waltz.

Private.

[Jesus Christ. Is this some kind of horrible sign? Hoffman doesn't say anything. Instead he lets the network hang open for a bit and closes it. What the fuck to say? Does it even matter? Probably not. D:]

Private.

[ichoosefight]

Wow. That is the most passive aggressive "I'm still not talking to you" I've ever gotten in my life. And I dated Tim Drake. That's saying something.

No, really, I'm impressed.

Re: Private.

[expectremorse]

[frown] ...What do you want me to say? We didn't exactly part on the best of terms. I was surprised. I couldn't think of anything to say.

Private.

[ichoosefight]

Honestly, I kind of expected you to say nothing. On account of the whole "I'm not talking to you" thing.

And technically we didn't part on any terms. Again, the not-talking thing.

[batmanschmatman]

A couple months. Welcome back.

[Private]

[ichoosefight]

That is ever so specific.

[Private]

[batmanschmatman]

You really want me to give you an in depth analysis of everything that happened while you were gone?

[Private]

[ichoosefight]

You don't have an in-between setting? Didn't you ever use Cliff-Notes?
