Uh, definitely not. Maybe if Jax shows up he can tell you how it works.

[passingthrough]

New best friend Jax. Got it. [Sorry, Jarvis, but she has to move on, you understand.] I will keep an eye out.

It's probably something the Atroma would conveniently block memories of with the augment anyway.

[sassy_assassin]

Right, because we can't have nice things.

Look, if we're going to be indefinitely detainees the least they could do would be to let us have whatever.

[passingthrough]

You'd think. That was basically the theory at the prison. Except they had some arbitrary rules about behaviors that they considered crime-inducing. It was against the rules to have sex of any kind when I first got there. [That rule got relaxed over time.]

[sassy_assassin]

Okay, that place was worse than this place.

Sex isn't illegal here, right? Because that would be a huge thing people failed to mention.

[passingthrough]

Yeah, no amount of pizza was making up for that.

[She laughs.] It's probably encouraged here. Generates lots of ratings after all. [How do you think she affords the food and the ship upgrades?] Which is a different level of creepy.

[sassy_assassin]

Yeah I don't want to think too hard about that.

Is having sex with someone here cheating on someone back home? How does that even work?

[passingthrough]

[She stops unpacking and scoots herself up onto the counter.] Who's back home? [It's not the question of a single person.]

[sassy_assassin]

Honestly? It's complicated. I was dating this girl and then we weren't together, and then the whole world was going to get destroyed and I think we're back on again? But honestly, especially since I'm here, who knows.

[passingthrough]

On the plus side, I wouldn't even know what simple looks like. That string of events sounds totally normal. [She intellectually knows it doesn't or shouldn't and yet...it kind of does? To her at least.]

The whole world is ending sex is kind of the best. Or the whole world almost ended, but we're still here, life affirming sex. Actually that might be better. [She looks thoughtful and then shakes her head.] Okay, not the point.

How do you feel about it? Do you feel like should be waiting for her whether it's days or years before she shows up here or you make it back? Or do you feel like things are on pause while it's so long distance it's interdimensional?

[sassy_assassin]

I feel like things should be on pause. I don't think she'd feel that way. She's kind of a rules person.

[passingthrough]

Mmm... And you're more of a break-the-rules person?

[sassy_assassin]

It should be my middle name.

We met actually because she was part of the bureau trying to stop us from traveling through time and fixing things. Well, I saw it as fixing things, she saw it as ruining things... and to be fair, there were some mistakes.

[passingthrough]

The whole opposites attracting thing? So, she probably wouldn't be surprised you decided to take being cast out of your reality as a pause at least? Angry, but not surprised?

[sassy_assassin]

Yeah, I guess.

[ she sips her coffee, serious ]

She's not the kind of person I want to live down to expectations to. On the other hand, what am I supposed to do, pick up knitting?

[passingthrough]

Sounds like a good way of making a lot frustrated scarves.

Honestly, I don't know. It's just hard. I just spent over a year waiting and hoping Winn would come back or I'd find a way to be with him. And I know he'd understand. He'd probably be jealous and weird with it, but he'd understand. I just really didn't want to let him down or hurt anyone who came after for the crime of not being him. I still don't. It's still hard. Still complicated. But I'm also kind of moving on because...what else do you do?

[sassy_assassin]

Yeah, you're right.

Honestly it's easier when you break up or someone dies, let's be real.

[passingthrough]

[She sighs.] It really is. So much easier if you can hate them for a little while. Maybe even have some revenge sex with someone else because of it. [Like a mature adult. Tyki was a mistake, but for awhile he was definitely her favorite mistake.]

[sassy_assassin]

And I mean, like you said, Ava knows what she's in for with me.

[passingthrough]

[She nods.] Also, if she doesn't come here she'll never know because you won't remember anything that happens here. At least that's the going theory. So, even if she comes here and everything goes terribly when you both get home neither of you will remember it.

[sassy_assassin]

Okay, now we're speaking my language.

[passingthrough]

It's good there's an upside to it. [She reaches into one of her bags and pulls out a little bag of nuts to snack on, taking a few before holding it out to Sara in case she wants some. They're a sweet and spicy mix.] I don't love the idea myself.

[sassy_assassin]

[ she takes some and monches on them ]

Hey, these are good.

And is it ideal? Probably not. Do I like the idea of acting with few consequences when my entire life is made up of thinking of the ridiculous number of consequences I cause on a minute-to-minute basis? Yeah, kind of.

[passingthrough]

Nutritional and fun. [She smiles.]

Yeah, I could see the appeal there. If I get sent home and don't remember everything I die immediately. Granted, if I do remember I probably still die a couple years later. [Unless she can stop what Kurt told her.] Or I get lucky and save the world because I'll remember it still needs saving.

[sassy_assassin]

Fair enough. I see the not-appeal of that. What about catching a ride with anyone else? Live it up in an alternate universe?
