[Private to Chromie]

I need to take a few days off work so I can take care of some friends.

...and I know this wouldn't be the first time. I'm sorry about that.

[Private to Nathan]

So...I know we didn't really get a chance to talk. [Beyond things like 'please move while Creed is immobile' and 'are you seriously not aware that you're bleeding'.]

How are you doing?

[Spam for Megamind]

[Toshiko is, at least, in the hinterlands of 'okay'. She's seen worse than she saw at port and on the Barge - a career at Torchwood's proven useful, in that completely horrible sense - and she suspects that a life in Gotham had the same effect on Edward but she knows that Megamind isn't handling it well. Which she can understand. And it's why she's choosing to stick around.

Right now she's making lunch. Cheese on toast, her own comfort food on the rare occasions that she's bothered with cooking for herself. Insofar as you can call 'bread + cheese + heat source' cooking. Megamind's huddled up with Angus near his idea wall and she knows she's going to join them rather than try to talk him into joining her at the table.

She glances over her shoulder to call over to him.]

Do you want something to drink, Megamind?

[She accepts it when he offers, turning it over in her hands. It really is a beautiful object, and - well, it doesn't surprise her that Iris' anger has faded to apathy because she suspects that's just how Iris is about everything in time, but she is a little surprised that she'd do this for her.

But no, realistically, she did it for Megamind.]

I - I didn't realise you were asking for one for me too.

[megamind]

Well, that's because it's a gift. If you knew about it, it wouldn't be.

[ He settles there, and smiles slightly-- Angus is quit to curl up at his hip, getting patted gently for his trouble. ]

Once Edward comes down, we'll get them all connected and then we'll know if we need help.

Maybe then we can avoid things like-- [ he waved one hand ] earlier.

[Toshiko's got some reservations. If someone really wants to kill you, they're going to do it regardless, and she wonders if the lassiebots really have a purpose beyond giving one's nearest and dearest an inkling of where to bring the mop and bucket afterwards.

But Megamind went to the trouble. And if it makes him feel safer, then - then that's fine, and she nods.]

Hopefully.

[ He's pragmatic. Or tries to be, sometimes. ]

Maybe we can wire them to trigger a brainbot response.

[ He really should have asked for a couple to take apart and experiment with, but that seemed.... rude. He wouldn't do that to the brainbots himself! ]
