If we eat leaves do we piss tea?

[ Context? Nah. ]

[alldenim]

We piss urine or blood. That's how kidneys work.

[ what... the fuck. ]

[umbrastaff]

But like... if we put tea leaves in our mouths, swallow them and it mixed in with all the bio stuff in our bodies, wouldn't it technically be tea?

[ Pause. ]

Like, hypothetically.

[alldenim]

Taako, give Lup her stone back.

[ BECAUSE WHAT EVEN IS THIS FUCKING CONVERSATION. ]

That isn't how ANY of this fuckin' works.

[umbrastaff]

Taako's out cold because he double taps, the cheater.

I'm so high babe it's amazing.

[ Context! ]

[alldenim]

[ Oooh. ]

High, huh? Bet that's something else with you two.

[umbrastaff]

It's like... I can see forever, babe. Mostly this weird yurt thing but FOREVER too.

[alldenim]

What kinda stuff are you seein', huh?

[ Oh this is too fuckin juicy. ]

[umbrastaff]

This world has like

LAYERS

like an onion.

We're only on the first layer, Bar.

Taako wanted to peel it, but you don't do that with worlds, babe. You just don't.

[alldenim]

I mean really, when you think about it, babe... Isn't science peeling back the layers of a world?

[umbrastaff]

OH SHIT

WE´RE PEELING THE WORLD!

Is that illegal? Do I care? I'm not even sure.

Are you world-peeling right now, Bar-bear?

[alldenim]

Right now I'm sketching you so... No.

[umbrastaff]

Good! Let's not get arrested again okay?

Wait, you're sketching me? Babe that's so romantic and also unfair that I can't see it.
Oh! If I show you our yurt will you show me your drawing?

[alldenim]

That sounds... uh, weirdly sexual? But I'm down for it, yeah.

[umbrastaff]

You wouldn't say that of you were in this yurt. It's like... boner death in here. Great drugs aside.

[ It takes her a moment, but then she sends a slightly shaky minor illusion his-a-way. ]

Do they talk to you too, Barry?

[alldenim]

Y'know what this gonna be a hard pass from the Care Bear.

[umbrastaff]

Told you!

Got us a great lead, though, so it's gonna be worth it. If like, this shit doesn't give us a monster hangover or something. Or the skulls eat us.

[alldenim]

Hey, don't get eaten. What am I supposed to do without my fiancee, huh?

[alldenim]

[ shit SHIT SHIT SHIT FUCK SHIT DAMN FUCK.

he did NOT mean to send that. It's just-- It's been in his head like that for so long! What the fuck, he ruined it. What is he supposed to do now? Hope she didn't notice or forget when the high wears off?? ]

[umbrastaff]

[ There is a long, loooooong silence before a text comes back. ]

Barold J. Bluejeans what the fuck????

I mean

I'm high as a kite right now but holy shit

I'm setting your ass on fire if you don't re-propose to me when I'm sober

[umbrastaff]

I can't believe what a dork you are, babe. Hope you know your Lup layers because yeaaaaaaaaah????

I mean, not yet

Maybe when we're not doing this shit any more

but yeah anyway

[alldenim]

Does it help I have a ring ready? Does that save my ass like any at all whatsoever?

[umbrastaff]

Your ass is saving your ass, babe.

[ Goofing works, right?

Shit, it would be a lie to say Lup wasn't terrified of this fiance thing even if it hadn't been flipped on her when high. Happy beyond what her drugged little brain could even possibly handle right now, but also terrified.

Girlfriend was easy. She'd been that before. Sometimes even for over a year before something crashed and burned. She had no idea how to be a wife! Fuck, she barely had any idea how to be in a relationship that worked this well, and even that had taken decades stuck on a ship with people that had grown on her like extra limbs.

She loves Barry with all her heart. All the nooks and crannies and weird little cracks of it. That's not the issue. Her weird past is, with all its distrust and expectations and... everything.

Lup wants, though. She wants so much for them to be together in every possible way. She wants stupid unnecessary things like a ring and a wedding and all those things she had barely had a chance to imagine as a little girl. But it was just things.

Barry was so much more.]

Bar? Your ass is safe.

[alldenim]

I love you, Lup.

[ He wanted those things too. To see her in a wedding dress, to have Davenport officiate. To have Magnus crying at their vows. To throw down. They could, honestly. Get the outfits ready to go for when the Light was within easy reach. The planning of it was the only real thing to figure out for Barry. He was born to be this as much as he was born to be a scientist.

And he couldn't imagine it with anyone else. ]

Don't tell anyone I fucked up our proposal, please.
