Snowblind IC Inbox

[termineur]

"Uh, hi there. I'm probably out stomping through snow right now, so...leave a message?"

[Text, audio and video formats available. Feel free to contact him for any reason.]

Comments

[spoileralert]

Yeah, of course. I'll probably head over to meet you.

[termineur]

[ He figured, but hearing it still makes him smile a little. ]

Okay. Hopefully, we won't take too long. I don't have the awful leg, so we can move a little faster once we're together, at least.

And if we're lucky, the town will lay off for at least a little while, now. [ 'cause seriously. ]

[spoileralert]

We're never lucky.

[ And now Steph is alone again, and honestly that scares her so bad. It's hard to even pretend optimism. ]

[termineur]

[ Okay, that's a little hard to ignore. His voice softens. ]

Yeah, I know. We're still gonna get to you as fast as we can.

Are you with anyone, right now?

[spoileralert]

Not right now, no.

Actually, House asked me to go with him. But I already told Al I was gonna come find you guys.

[ She sighs. ]

I don't know.

[termineur]

You should go find House. [ He speaks as if his opinion is clearly fact. ] And call us often. I'm guessing he's not the best travel companion, but you could use some company. Hell, I could use some company at this point, and I'm not exactly the most social person around, here.

We'll find you ASAP.

[spoileralert]

What, just like that?

[ She's pretty inclined to let someone else make the decisions for her, though. ]

Would you explain it to Al?

[termineur]

Just like that.

[ She deserves for something to be easy, after all that. ]

Yeah, I'll tell him. Don't worry.

[spoileralert]

[ She takes a deep breath and lets it out slow. ]

Okay. Thanks, Gabriel.

If she has a plan, she can probably manage for a couple of days on her own at least.

[termineur]

Sure.

[ Is he helping? He thinks maybe he's helping. ]

Al and I will bring you something other than vending machine snacks. I bet you're getting tired of those by now.

[spoileralert]

[ You done good, Gabriel. ]

I'm tired of all the food here, at this point. But the junk food did make for a nice change of pace, even if it doesn't provide much protein.

[termineur]

Really? Pfft, well- I won't argue with you there. And I guess the junk does have some carbs to get you going.

Next chance we get, though- we're all crashing an All-You-Can-Eat buffet. Maybe I'll live there for a few days.

[ He was already too skinny when he got here, he's practically becoming 2-D at this point. ]

[spoileralert]

Definitely at least a week. You gotta take it slow or you'll make yourself sick. Think of it as a food marathon.

[termineur]

[ He laughs at that. ]

I'm not exactly the poster child for restraint, you know. Maybe we'll have an eating contest. At least until we get kicked out.

[ That sounds just about like heaven right now. ]

At least I don't have the metabolism I usually do back home. Special abilities take up tons of energy, as it turns out.

[spoileralert]

Or I can just punch you any time I think you're gonna make yourself puke.

[termineur]

[ Okay, that sounds a little more like Steph. ]

You'll have to watch it. I tend to get territorial over food.

-oh, who'm I kidding? You'd have no problem forcing me to pace myself.

[spoileralert]

Not even a little.
