I don't know. Ask him.

[cadeuces]

Ask who?

[mylawn]

Genji. He's the one who sits up there all the goddamn time.

[cadeuces]

[ Jack is having a "friendly" conversation. With Genji. While drunk.





Yeah, she's not buying that. ]

I don't need to warn you what will happen if anything results in repairs.

[ You know what she REALLY doesn't want to do while fending off a hangover? Repair the robot son and dad. Please, speak responsibly. ]

[mylawn]

Wouldn't dream of ruining your handiwork.

[cadeuces]

He is a person.

[ DON'T CALL HIM HER HANDIWORK THAT'S SO RUDE... YOU COUNTRY BUMPKIN. ]

And your teammate. Respect will flow both ways. Please be careful getting down. You're also my "handiwork", I'll have you know.

[mylawn]

I didn't say he wasn't.

[DO NOT CALL HIM A COUNTRY BUMPKIN]

Are you lecturing me, Doc?

[cadeuces]

And if I am, what would you do about it?

[ YOU'RE LITERALLY FROM RURAL INDIANA. Also oops she's flirting. She may have been indulging in a few more drinks while he's been climbing walls and chasing robot ninja sons. ]

[mylawn]

[Not all of us can be European, Angela!!!!]

I'd have to get off the roof to do something about it.

[And it was a lot of work to get up here.]

[cadeuces]

So you would do nothing, then.

[ Does she... does she sound disappointed? Sad? Over a text? Maybe this will help: ]

:'(

[ Hey hey even Europeans can be backwaters hicks, but that isn't where they're going with this. ]

[mylawn]

[NOW YOU'RE CALLING HIM A BACKWATER HICK]

Didn't say that. Just sort of implied I'm not getting off the roof.

[cadeuces]

[ NO!!!! IT WAS JUST STATING FACTS!!! ]

It's a shame the Valkyrie Suit is locked up, or I may have had to join you. Are the stars out?

[ why do stairs just not exist in this continuity ]

[mylawn]

[oh my god you do you think he's a backwater hick]

Sure. Take the stairs.

[stairs exist. I made them exist.]

[cadeuces]

[ look at what you've done it wasn't a thing until now!!! also ughhhhhhghghghghgh stairs what if she wanted to do the whole anything you can do I can do better thing and just zip up!! ]

Would I be interrupting?

[ Bonding time is precious, after all! ]

[mylawn]

[they were totally a thing! Genji suggested them and 76 was like 'nah']

You can come up if you promise not to bring a lecture.

[cadeuces]

There won't be a lecture if you aren't injured again.

[ She's already hoofin' it your way, boot heels clicking on the sidewalk and breath puffing from behind a thick scarf wound about her. The kids can handle themselves at the bar; it's time for the older generations to seek out some peace somewhere quiet. ]

[mylawn]

[Okay, so here's the scene. 76 is laying on his back in the middle of the roof. He is wearing full gear, visor and everything. Probably he is asleep. Genji is nowhere to be found.

What will you do?]

[cadeuces]

What will you do?

> wrangle off the visor and draw inappropriate things on his face
> take pictures of him while vulnerable
> splash more water on him; he's a quenched house plant ignored for three weeks, bring him back to life!!
> be nice and just lay beside him and admire the night sky. maybe take a pic with him


> be nice and just lay beside him and admire the night sky. maybe take a pic with him


[ She's sure Genji hadn't gone too far for very long, but for now, it's just the two of them. His lack of response to her presence once she makes it up the steps and quietly clicks her way over to him confirms her suspicions of sleep and she'll just take a seat on the smooth cement and adjust herself next to him, resting her head on his shoulder. That pesky camera phone comes up to snap a picture of them both, flash off under the roof's low lighting and tossing up a little peace sign, one finger to the corner of her lips.

Then she'll just enjoy his warmth and watch the stars until he stirs. ]

i'm writing a real tag hang on

[mylawn]

[ANGELA HOW COULD YOU]

nevermind you're stuck I'm making this immortal

[cadeuces]

[ THE FORCE WAS STRONG AND THE MIND IS WEAK ]

okay sorry here we are for real

[mylawn]

[Yeah he's totally super asleep for real, not that you can really tell with a visor over his face. Mercy gets away with all of these selfies, and he'll probably find them on the internet tomorrow and get really mad, but for now she gets away with it.

She has to wait a while, but eventually he wakes up, shifts a little, and notices he is not alone. 76 is about to have a very bad kneejerk reaction to someone else in his personal space, but it doesn't take him long to realize it's her, and he relaxes. Or tries to. Maybe he's still a little drunk.

Were you taking pictures?

[cadeuces]

[ HAVE SOME FAITH IN HER they're personal use only!! ...And maybe she will send them to like three people. But come on.

He doesn't audibly stir so much as physically, bringing her focus back as he shifts and suddenly goes stiff, muscles tensing against her. Sensing the knee-jerk reaction, she immediately speaks to identify herself, trying to set him at ease. ]

Rise and shine, soldier. The stars are out. And we didn't drink nearly enough to ward off this cold.

[ There may be a flask in her coat pocket. For later. ]

Only a couple. Nothing indecent. [ A beat, and then: ] Would you like to see?

oh no i borked my html!!

[mylawn]

[WHICH THREE PEOPLE, ANGELA.

Angela. Angela he drank so much. Do you know how much it takes to get a super soldier properly drunk? Probably so much.]

I ain't cold.

[He's fine. He's wearing everything, like all of his gear. There's body armor involved. But okay, he'll sit up and motion for her to give him her phone.]

IT OK IT WAS A 50/50 GUESS ON DIALOGUE OR MONOLOGUE... DID I WIN

[cadeuces]

[ PROBABLY GENJI AND THEN LIKE REINHARDT AND IDK... someone who would laugh and not think about it too hard.

She had honestly lost count after six bottles of whiskey, two bottles of vodka, and somewhere upwards of 15+ beers, medical curiosity losing out to her own interest to get bit tipsy and have fun. Were Angela truly as drunk, she would've been dancing with Torbjorn and Reinhardt and twirling the girls around until they were dizzy enough to be led up to karaoke. Were she smashed, she would've tried to get Jack to dance with her. If he'd refused, she would've gone to the other surlier members of their team; video evidence would've had her apologizing profusely to Hanzo and Roadhog and so on. The moral of the story is, she stays tipsy and toes the line of actually drunk very strictly. ]

Not many of us hide from the world in our armor.

[ She is cold, but this is nice and the fresh air is clearing her head. He moves to sit up but Angela won't move, instead opening the gallery on her phone and holding it straight above them, showing him the few innocent pics she took, smiling. He can see the timeline below and know that she isn't hiding anything else. ]

[mylawn]

[okay not that much jesus I can't even conceive that much alcohol in such a presumably short amount of time.

Probably he doesn't let himself get this drunk, either. Tonight is truly a miracle. She can't see it from behind his visor, but he's squinting as he reaches for the phone so he can mash his fingers against the screen and scroll through the pictures. Why is everyone doing this to him.]

That's got nothing to do with this.

[She promised no lectures! Why is she up here talking about his insecurities! Geez!!!]

How long was I out?
