[Cain has flour on his cheek, and he's in the kitchen, taking a break.] Y'know, worldwide there's room for comfort food after a real shitty day. I'm takin' requests.

Me, I always went for pierogis. Stayed in Poland just long enough to learn how to make 'em. [And to kill a diplomat. But. You know.] Kid seemed to like 'em pretty well, too. Pretty sure tastes change, though...

Anyway, give 'em here, give me all your requests.

I know.

It's.

Terrifying.

[anewlanguage]

...Yeah. Yeah it is. Wish I could say something terrifying, but it seems like things just get crazier.

Still. You're gonna have people who have your back, if you get to know 'em.

[deadly_ned]

I'm not..concerned about my back. I'm more worried about Thomas'.

[anewlanguage]

If y'can get him out, I know some people who'd look out for him if he so much as says 'hi'.

[deadly_ned]

You do? Because right now it's only Riddick and me and I...


I get nervous.

when my characters have similar icon keywords...

[anewlanguage]

Riddick's a pretty good guy. Woman named Iris, she's real good company, real protective.

And my daughter likes to protect people.

Cain is a very pretty blonde

[deadly_ned]

I did meet Iris, once.

And your daughter.


And I'm not entirely...helpless. But I'd rather not have to kill people.

If I don't have to.

Isn't he just? Best secret identity

[anewlanguage]

Yeah, me too. So far I haven't had to, just some monsters. You can stop someone without killing 'em.

best ever

[deadly_ned]

[The Piemaker had, technically, killed someone already on the Barge. He dismissed this as moot, since the person had technically already been dead at the time]


Yes you can.

Usually with more difficulty.

[anewlanguage]

Well...yeah but that's only 'cause death's more permanent than just knocking someone out. You could get a tutor here, y'know.

[deadly_ned]

Not always. Not necessarily.



I don't...need one. But thank you. I'm a pacifist.

[anewlanguage]

Sure but bein' a pacifist doesn't mean you have to let 'em shoot you. Could teach you how to run, best places in a room to hide if someone's shooting.

[deadly_ned]

I can run....pretty far.

Just so long as it isn't open space within which to put bullets in my open back.

[anewlanguage]

Hah! Nah, you'll be all right, kid. I'll show you how it's done sometime.

[He finishes beating in the ingredients.]

Do we frost this when it's done?

[deadly_ned]

It's not necessary, but you can.

Does she like frosting?

[anewlanguage]

...I couldn't tell you. Can we frost half?

[deadly_ned]

We can frost half.

[anewlanguage]

...Put a lil' bat symbol on it. I bet she'd like that.

[And maybe it'll show her that he accepts who she is now, and what she does. Even though it's opposite him.]

[deadly_ned]

A bat symbol.

[anewlanguage]

Yeah. Bat. [Making a 'bat' with his hands, making bat noises]

[deadly_ned]

....I don't think that's what a bat is supposed to sound like.

[anewlanguage]

[Pfffff]

We'll get her to show you.

[deadly_ned]

Bats are a little terrifying. You don't find bats terrifying?

[anewlanguage]

Nah, they're great target practice. She's a superhero, likes to dress up as a bat to scare people. More terrifying than it sounds. Plus, she never got to do Halloween, I figure some part of her's making up for lost time.

[deadly_ned]

No, that actually sounds completely terrifying. I never want to see that happen in real life. Bats are terrifying and bat-people are infinitely worse.


Good. She shouldn't. Halloween is the worst holiday.
