[pobrecisco]

since wednesday
he ate all my zebra cakes and barry's extra stash of oreos AND drank all my beer
plus we have new roommates and i think he's weirding them out

[countdone]

why didn't you kick him out earlier?

[pobrecisco]

you want the cop-out answer
or the "this wouldn't be any of my business if he hadn't spent half of wednesday night crying at me about it" answer

[countdone]

...The latter?

[pobrecisco]

he told me you guys kissed
and he's clearly worried you're pissed at him about it
like he doesn't seem like he has a lot of friends other than you
(and apparently me and barry because we keep feeding him and now he's like a stray cat we feel too bad to get rid of)

anyway he really likes you, man

[countdone]

...He told you about that? Really?

[There is so much to take in here.]

[pobrecisco]

he told me a lot

[ Like how he died for you, but still thinks he's going to Hell. ]

[countdone]

Like what?

Ugh. I thought we sorted things out on Christmas Eve, so I don't know why he'd think I'm THAT pissed at him.

[Piper.]

[pobrecisco]

like that he actually LIKES you

he really doesn't think so or else he wouldn't be living on our couch

[pobrecisco]

[ Attachment: a very stealthily taken picture of James, wearing glittery butterfly clips in his hair, several wine cooler bottles empty on the couch next to him, frowning and looking like someone drowned his puppy, and making a little Trickster hand puppet smooch a little Piper hand puppet. ]

[countdone]

oh

that

is pretty unexpected

[pobrecisco]

he's been like this all week

[countdone]

this isn't some kind of joke, is it?

[HE KNOWS BETTER, BUT...]

[pobrecisco]

totally not my sense of humor and james doesnt even know i took that picture

[countdone]

i mean i guess it makes sense, in retrospect

but it still feels like it can't be real

[pobrecisco]

he also told me he died for you sooooo

[countdone]

yeah, knew about that. i was there.

that one was hard to believe when it happened, too.

[pobrecisco]

so what happened anyway

he wasn't super eager to go into details about it

[countdone]

which part

the kissing, or the dying?

[pobrecisco]

the dying

i already got the details on the kissing

(holly? seriously?)

[countdone]

that's what i said!

well...we were framed for a crime we didn't commit, so we went on the run together...and one of our pursuers caught up with us. He really wasn't interested in taking us alive.

[pobrecisco]

whoa what'd you get framed for that the sentence was on sight execution???

[countdone]

murdering a superhero.

but you're not going to repeat that.

[pobrecisco]

...jesus

yeah okay, it doesn't leave this conversation

[countdone]

thank you.

so, yeah. we spent weeks handcuffed to each other with the suicide squad after us, and that's how it ended.

[For...James, at least. Though the Suicide Squad wasn't involved in the rest of what happened to Piper, so that's not really a lie.]
