Owen Carvour

MI6 agent | he/him | bisexual ♤♡spies never die♧◇

[agent-carvour]

My name is Owen Carvour and I am a spy who works for the MI6. Or at least I used to back in the 60s.

You see, I used to live in the 60s until very recently. I know this sounds unbelievable, but on my last mission, when infiltrating a russian military base in syberia, I discovered they were building a portal of sorts that I was forced to step through.

After I traversed a yellow light and a place of pure darkness, I found myself in what appears to be the America of the 21st century. And that is where I am now.

[contemptible-scoundrel]

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[When Matt comes home from work there are no signs of a break-in but when he opens the door, somebody is sitting on his couch, their back turned towards him. In the dim evening light, it's difficult to make out anything about the dark figure, but it looks like they're holding a knife.]

- @agent-carvour

-

[Matt walks in and goes through his routine hanging up his work bag, locking the door (a few times) before tossing his keys into the key tray, today had been a bit of a longer day than usual cause he took his lunch early. He turns and jumps seeing the figure on the couch letting out a small involuntary scream. He quickly fumbles for the lock on the door trying to get away]

[agent-carvour]

[Owen looks up and lifts his hands, a cloth in the one that isn't holding the knife. He had been polishing the blade while he waited for Matt.]

Don't worry, it's just me.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[Matt grabs his chest gasping in relief]

Jesus Owen! You scared me!

[agent-carvour]

Sorry. I always forget you're not used to this kind of stuff...

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[Once he feels confident enough that his legs won't collapse beneath him he walks over]

I doubt I ever will be.

[agent-carvour]

[Guilt flushes in Owen's eyes when he realises how shaken Matt is and he quickly steps forward to embrace him.]

Sorry...

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[Matt relaxes into his arms]

It's alright. It was a bit of a shock but knowing it was just you eases a lot of things.

[agent-carvour]

I'll give you some kind of warning next time...

[matt-from-peip-hr]

It's alright Owen. I'm not the only one adjusting.

[agent-carvour]

Yes. And I can adjust by giving you a warning.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

Thank you.

[Matt gives them a squeeze]

So, what brings you by?

[agent-carvour]

I just realised that we haven't had a lot of time together recently and I thought maybe we could watch a movie or go on a walk or something?

[matt-from-peip-hr]

I'd like that a lot. There's a drive in nearby if you'd like to watch a movie.

[agent-carvour]

That sounds great. I didn't know those were still around.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

There aren't many but there is one about 30 minutes from here

[agent-carvour]

Then let's check it out.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[Matt smiles and pulls out his phone]

Looks like they are showing a re-run of Ponyo, the new horror movie weapons, and the new fantastic four.

[agent-carvour]

None of those mean anything to me.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

Well I think you might enjoy weapons the most if you would want a thriller. Fantastic four is based off of an old comic book series so its about superheroes and Ponyo is an animated movie which now that I think about it you likely haven't seen many off. It's more of a feel good movie.

[agent-carvour]

Horror Movies are boring and superheroes are mostly propaganda. Let's watch that animated movie.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[Matt smiles and books the tickets]

Have you seen any animated movies?

[agent-carvour]

Yes, of course. You're aware that animation was a thing 60 years ago, right?

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[Matt laughs]

Yes I know, but they were much sparser than they are now and I wasn't sure how much free time you had to spend at the movies.

[agent-carvour]

I've seen an animated movie before. Besides, I didn't arrive here just yesterday either.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

Which ones have you seen?

[agent-carvour]

Some of the early Disney movies back when they came out and since coming here... honestly, a few. Nimona is one I recently saw.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

Oh! Nimona was really good! I saw that one as well.

[Matt books some tickets for Ponyo.]

Do you want to bring any food in?

[agent-carvour]

Do they not sell popcorn and the theatre anymore?

[matt-from-peip-hr]

They do but they have upped the prices to a really steep amount.

[agent-carvour]

They've done that with pretty much everything.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Hey, love, are you feeling any better today?

- @agent-carvour

I am yeah. Should be back to work by tomorrow.

[spies-lost-in-time]

More of your cooking? Always.

[agent-carvour]

[Owen gets up and grabs both their plates, taking them into the kitchen. He returns with more of thefish on Curt's and more salad on his own.]

[spies-lost-in-time]

Hey, love, are you feeling any better today?

- @agent-carvour

I am yeah. Should be back to work by tomorrow.

[agent-carvour]

Does that mean your appetite is back too?

[spies-lost-in-time]

Thank fuck yes.

[agent-carvour]

Good. I'll be home in 20

[spies-lost-in-time]

Yay

[agent-carvour]

I'll make tuna fillet.

[As promised, Owen arrives not long after with a bag of groceries.]

[spies-lost-in-time]

[Curt smiles, a box of tissues still nearby.]

[agent-carvour]

[Owen stops by him to give him a quick kiss on the forehead before heading into the kitchen.]

[spies-lost-in-time]

How was work today?

[Curt calls from the hallway.]

[agent-carvour]

Nothing special. Just a minor fae that got loose at the mall.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Didn't give it any gifts, did ya?

[agent-carvour]

Of course not. I know how to deal with fae.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Good. Just wanted to make sure.

[agent-carvour]

Actually, I've got quite a hand for dealing with them. It's like they just like me for some reason. Maybe it has something to do with Az?

[spies-lost-in-time]

Or your wonderfully charming personality.

[agent-carvour]

That's always an option of course.

[spies-lost-in-time]

I like that option.

[agent-carvour]

[Once the groceries are stored away, Owen comes out of the kitchen.]

Are you hungry already?

[spies-lost-in-time]

I'm starving.

[agent-carvour]

Good. Give me 20 minutes.

[spies-lost-in-time]

You're so amazing.

[agent-carvour]

I won't argue with that.

[He walks back into the kitchen to prepare the fish.]

[spies-lost-in-time]

Nor should you

[agent-carvour]

[A bit later, Owen calls from the kitchen]

Can you set the table?

[spies-lost-in-time]

On it!

[Curt sits up, heading over to grab the plates and silverware.]

What do you want to drink?

[agent-carvour]

[White wine would go so well with this food...]

Just water is fine.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Two waters coming up.

[He sets the glasses on the table.]

[agent-carvour]

[Owen brings the plates with the finished fish fillet, potatoes, and a salad on the side. As usual, the food doesn't just smell good but look pretty as well.]

Bon appetit~

[spies-lost-in-time]

[Curt's mouth was watering before the plate even hit the table. He smiles, happily digging in.]

[agent-carvour]

[Owen just watches him for a moment, smiling, before starting to eat himself.]

[spies-lost-in-time]

You have any missions coming up?

[agent-carvour]

Just small ones like today.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Fun.

[agent-carvour]

Eh... it gives me time to focus on personal projects.

[spies-lost-in-time]

That spell you were working on?

[agent-carvour]

It's not really a spell, but yes. Among other things. I'm also still figuring some things out for a few of the magic gadgets I'm working on with Rosalind.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Any headway?

[agent-carvour]

Oh yeah. Definitely. Some of them are pretty much done. We just have to do some testing and work out a few little quirks before they're ready to be used in tge field.

[spies-lost-in-time]

If you ever need a guinea pig, I could use an excuse to be more active.

[agent-carvour]

It's mostly lab experiments. But I'll keep it in mind for when they're approved to be used on real missions.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Hell yeah.

[agent-carvour]

Do you have anything interesting coming up?

[spies-lost-in-time]

Not really actually.

[agent-carvour]

I suppose it's technically a good thing that things have been so boring lately...

[spies-lost-in-time]

Technically.

[agent-carvour]

Do you ever think about... Well, hypothetically, I could take it in my own hands to make things more interesting.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Last time you did that a lot of people died.

[agent-carvour]

That was different. I could just steal things or something.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Like what?

[agent-carvour]

Like... new experimental technology, magical artifacts...

[spies-lost-in-time]

Yeah and there's no way that would end poorly.

[agent-carvour]

Not if you did your job right.

[spies-lost-in-time]

....oooooooh.

[agent-carvour]

We could secretly be archnemesis in a sort of double life. Hypothetically.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Hypothetically...could we have reprise of when you kidnapped me. Minus the murderous intent of course.

[agent-carvour]

But without the murderous intent, where would be the fun?

[spies-lost-in-time]

We can have more fun if I'm not dead.

[agent-carvour]

Right... I guess you have a point...

[spies-lost-in-time]

We can still have plenty of fun without you trying to kill me though.

[agent-carvour]

Hypothetically...

[spies-lost-in-time]

Of course...hypothetically...

[agent-carvour]

[Owen silently looks down at his empty plate for a moment before clearing his throat.]

Do you wamt seconds?

[agent-carvour]

Hey long time no chat. How are things?

@calaverage

Alright. Nothing too special going on right now. Almost a little boring maybe...

How about you?

[calaverage]

Going okay. The move's been a little hectic.

Oh yeah right I moved.

[agent-carvour]

Oh really? Where?

[calaverage]

Pete and I found a place over by his college.

[agent-carvour]

Oh. That's... quite far away from here, isn't it?

[calaverage]

I mean it's still in state. Only about an hour's drive from Hatchetfield.

[agent-carvour]

Ah, that's not so bad then. Is Gail coming with you as well?

[calaverage]

No...she. She can't really leave Hatchetfield.

I'm technically only moving out half the time and spending the other half back in town.

[agent-carvour]

Oh. Does it have something to do with her gift?

[calaverage]

Pretty much yeah. Her connection to Hatchetfield is stronger than mosts.

[agent-carvour]

Huh... Interesting...

[calaverage]

Why? Most people with gifts that are born in Hatchetfield got a similar problem.

[agent-carvour]

That's the thing. I've never seen or heard of anyone with the gift who isn't from Hatchetfield. Aside from myself.

[calaverage]

The vast, vast majority of people lose them by the time they get to adulthood. Probably why.

[agent-carvour]

I know. But I'm mostly talking about children. P.E.I.P. is aware of several children in Hatchetfield that are confirmed or very likely to have the touch of the gift. In the rest of the world, there is just a handful of such individuals but there are other possible explanations for all of them.

[calaverage]

Yeah Hatchetfield do be like that.

[agent-carvour]

That part makes sense. Well, the Hatchetfield version of sense. But I don't get how I fit into this.

[calaverage]

Maybe you're connected more than you realize? It's how I have my shit.

[agent-carvour]

Why and how would I have been connected to Hatchetfield when I've never been there before?

[calaverage]

Neither had I, but I had family here. You got any ancestors that sailed over to the states?

[agent-carvour]

No. I mean, some members of the McDoon Clan did but they didn't return. I didn't directly descend from them, they'd just be my great great and so on aunts and uncles.

[calaverage]

Hm. Weird.

[agent-carvour]

Yeah...

I always thought that Willabella Muckweb was a migrant from somewhere else who had the gift and brought it here during the time of Hatchetfield's founding. I thought it would be more common here because of the influence her own soul and later those of other children with the gift that were sealed away in witchwood had on the area. And I could have it from the same source that she originally got it from.

But that theory doesn't fit in with everything I know now from Lawson.

[calaverage]

I mean, you are from a different timeline technically right? Maybe that's how it worked in yours.

[agent-carvour]

I'm pretty sure the me from here had the same abilities but I don't know.

[calaverage]

Welp. That's weird.

[agent-carvour]

Yeah...But to be fair, that's kind of an intrinsic attribute of magic.

[calaverage]

True true

[agent-carvour]

Are you still gonna keep your P.E.I.P. job?

[calaverage]

Yeah a lot of the paper work and stuff I'm gonna do remotely.

[agent-carvour]

That makes sense.

[calaverage]

I'll still be around sometimes though. For meetings and shit.

[agent-carvour]

I assumed.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Hey, love, are you feeling any better today?

- @agent-carvour

I am yeah. Should be back to work by tomorrow.

Yeah and there's no way that would end poorly.

[agent-carvour]

Not if you did your job right.

[spies-lost-in-time]

....oooooooh.

[agent-carvour]

We could secretly be archnemesis in a sort of double life. Hypothetically.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Hypothetically...could we have reprise of when you kidnapped me. Minus the murderous intent of course.

[agent-carvour]

But without the murderous intent, where would be the fun?

[spies-lost-in-time]

We can have more fun if I'm not dead.

[agent-carvour]

Right... I guess you have a point...

[spies-lost-in-time]

We can still have plenty of fun without you trying to kill me though.

[agent-carvour]

Hypothetically...

[agent-carvour]

Hey long time no chat. How are things?

@calaverage

Alright. Nothing too special going on right now. Almost a little boring maybe...

How about you?

[calaverage]

Going okay. The move's been a little hectic.

Oh yeah right I moved.

[agent-carvour]

Oh really? Where?

[calaverage]

Pete and I found a place over by his college.

[agent-carvour]

Oh. That's... quite far away from here, isn't it?

[calaverage]

I mean it's still in state. Only about an hour's drive from Hatchetfield.

[agent-carvour]

Ah, that's not so bad then. Is Gail coming with you as well?

[calaverage]

No...she. She can't really leave Hatchetfield.

I'm technically only moving out half the time and spending the other half back in town.

[agent-carvour]

Oh. Does it have something to do with her gift?

[calaverage]

Pretty much yeah. Her connection to Hatchetfield is stronger than mosts.

[agent-carvour]

Huh... Interesting...

[calaverage]

Why? Most people with gifts that are born in Hatchetfield got a similar problem.

[agent-carvour]

That's the thing. I've never seen or heard of anyone with the gift who isn't from Hatchetfield. Aside from myself.

[calaverage]

The vast, vast majority of people lose them by the time they get to adulthood. Probably why.

[agent-carvour]

I know. But I'm mostly talking about children. P.E.I.P. is aware of several children in Hatchetfield that are confirmed or very likely to have the touch of the gift. In the rest of the world, there is just a handful of such individuals but there are other possible explanations for all of them.

[calaverage]

Yeah Hatchetfield do be like that.

[agent-carvour]

That part makes sense. Well, the Hatchetfield version of sense. But I don't get how I fit into this.

[calaverage]

Maybe you're connected more than you realize? It's how I have my shit.

[agent-carvour]

Why and how would I have been connected to Hatchetfield when I've never been there before?

[calaverage]

Neither had I, but I had family here. You got any ancestors that sailed over to the states?

[agent-carvour]

No. I mean, some members of the McDoon Clan did but they didn't return. I didn't directly descend from them, they'd just be my great great and so on aunts and uncles.

[calaverage]

Hm. Weird.

[agent-carvour]

Yeah...

I always thought that Willabella Muckweb was a migrant from somewhere else who had the gift and brought it here during the time of Hatchetfield's founding. I thought it would be more common here because of the influence her own soul and later those of other children with the gift that were sealed away in witchwood had on the area. And I could have it from the same source that she originally got it from.

But that theory doesn't fit in with everything I know now from Lawson.

[calaverage]

I mean, you are from a different timeline technically right? Maybe that's how it worked in yours.

[agent-carvour]

I'm pretty sure the me from here had the same abilities but I don't know.

[calaverage]

Welp. That's weird.

[agent-carvour]

Yeah...But to be fair, that's kind of an intrinsic attribute of magic.

[calaverage]

True true

[agent-carvour]

Are you still gonna keep your P.E.I.P. job?

[calaverage]

Yeah a lot of the paper work and stuff I'm gonna do remotely.

[agent-carvour]

That makes sense.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[When Matt comes home from work there are no signs of a break-in but when he opens the door, somebody is sitting on his couch, their back turned towards him. In the dim evening light, it's difficult to make out anything about the dark figure, but it looks like they're holding a knife.]

- @agent-carvour

-

[Matt walks in and goes through his routine hanging up his work bag, locking the door (a few times) before tossing his keys into the key tray, today had been a bit of a longer day than usual cause he took his lunch early. He turns and jumps seeing the figure on the couch letting out a small involuntary scream. He quickly fumbles for the lock on the door trying to get away]

[agent-carvour]

[Owen looks up and lifts his hands, a cloth in the one that isn't holding the knife. He had been polishing the blade while he waited for Matt.]

Don't worry, it's just me.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[Matt grabs his chest gasping in relief]

Jesus Owen! You scared me!

[agent-carvour]

Sorry. I always forget you're not used to this kind of stuff...

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[Once he feels confident enough that his legs won't collapse beneath him he walks over]

I doubt I ever will be.

[agent-carvour]

[Guilt flushes in Owen's eyes when he realises how shaken Matt is and he quickly steps forward to embrace him.]

Sorry...

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[Matt relaxes into his arms]

It's alright. It was a bit of a shock but knowing it was just you eases a lot of things.

[agent-carvour]

I'll give you some kind of warning next time...

[matt-from-peip-hr]

It's alright Owen. I'm not the only one adjusting.

[agent-carvour]

Yes. And I can adjust by giving you a warning.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

Thank you.

[Matt gives them a squeeze]

So, what brings you by?

[agent-carvour]

I just realised that we haven't had a lot of time together recently and I thought maybe we could watch a movie or go on a walk or something?

[matt-from-peip-hr]

I'd like that a lot. There's a drive in nearby if you'd like to watch a movie.

[agent-carvour]

That sounds great. I didn't know those were still around.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

There aren't many but there is one about 30 minutes from here

[agent-carvour]

Then let's check it out.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[Matt smiles and pulls out his phone]

Looks like they are showing a re-run of Ponyo, the new horror movie weapons, and the new fantastic four.

[agent-carvour]

None of those mean anything to me.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

Well I think you might enjoy weapons the most if you would want a thriller. Fantastic four is based off of an old comic book series so its about superheroes and Ponyo is an animated movie which now that I think about it you likely haven't seen many off. It's more of a feel good movie.

[agent-carvour]

Horror Movies are boring and superheroes are mostly propaganda. Let's watch that animated movie.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[Matt smiles and books the tickets]

Have you seen any animated movies?

[agent-carvour]

Yes, of course. You're aware that animation was a thing 60 years ago, right?

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[Matt laughs]

Yes I know, but they were much sparser than they are now and I wasn't sure how much free time you had to spend at the movies.

[agent-carvour]

I've seen an animated movie before. Besides, I didn't arrive here just yesterday either.

[matt-from-peip-hr]

[When Matt comes home from work there are no signs of a break-in but when he opens the door, somebody is sitting on his couch, their back turned towards him. In the dim evening light, it's difficult to make out anything about the dark figure, but it looks like they're holding a knife.]

[spies-lost-in-time]

Hey, love, are you feeling any better today?

- @agent-carvour

I am yeah. Should be back to work by tomorrow.

[agent-carvour]

Does that mean your appetite is back too?

[spies-lost-in-time]

Thank fuck yes.

[agent-carvour]

Good. I'll be home in 20

[spies-lost-in-time]

Yay

[agent-carvour]

I'll make tuna fillet.

[As promised, Owen arrives not long after with a bag of groceries.]

[spies-lost-in-time]

[Curt smiles, a box of tissues still nearby.]

[agent-carvour]

[Owen stops by him to give him a quick kiss on the forehead before heading into the kitchen.]

[spies-lost-in-time]

How was work today?

[Curt calls from the hallway.]

[agent-carvour]

Nothing special. Just a minor fae that got loose at the mall.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Didn't give it any gifts, did ya?

[agent-carvour]

Of course not. I know how to deal with fae.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Good. Just wanted to make sure.

[agent-carvour]

Actually, I've got quite a hand for dealing with them. It's like they just like me for some reason. Maybe it has something to do with Az?

[spies-lost-in-time]

Or your wonderfully charming personality.

[agent-carvour]

That's always an option of course.

[spies-lost-in-time]

I like that option.

[agent-carvour]

[Once the groceries are stored away, Owen comes out of the kitchen.]

Are you hungry already?

[spies-lost-in-time]

I'm starving.

[agent-carvour]

Good. Give me 20 minutes.

[spies-lost-in-time]

You're so amazing.

[agent-carvour]

I won't argue with that.

[He walks back into the kitchen to prepare the fish.]

[spies-lost-in-time]

Nor should you

[agent-carvour]

[A bit later, Owen calls from the kitchen]

Can you set the table?

[spies-lost-in-time]

On it!

[Curt sits up, heading over to grab the plates and silverware.]

What do you want to drink?

[agent-carvour]

[White wine would go so well with this food...]

Just water is fine.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Two waters coming up.

[He sets the glasses on the table.]

[agent-carvour]

[Owen brings the plates with the finished fish fillet, potatoes, and a salad on the side. As usual, the food doesn't just smell good but look pretty as well.]

Bon appetit~

[spies-lost-in-time]

[Curt's mouth was watering before the plate even hit the table. He smiles, happily digging in.]

[agent-carvour]

[Owen just watches him for a moment, smiling, before starting to eat himself.]

[spies-lost-in-time]

You have any missions coming up?

[agent-carvour]

Just small ones like today.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Fun.

[agent-carvour]

Eh... it gives me time to focus on personal projects.

[spies-lost-in-time]

That spell you were working on?

[agent-carvour]

It's not really a spell, but yes. Among other things. I'm also still figuring some things out for a few of the magic gadgets I'm working on with Rosalind.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Any headway?

[agent-carvour]

Oh yeah. Definitely. Some of them are pretty much done. We just have to do some testing and work out a few little quirks before they're ready to be used in tge field.

[spies-lost-in-time]

If you ever need a guinea pig, I could use an excuse to be more active.

[agent-carvour]

It's mostly lab experiments. But I'll keep it in mind for when they're approved to be used on real missions.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Hell yeah.

[agent-carvour]

Do you have anything interesting coming up?

[spies-lost-in-time]

Not really actually.

[agent-carvour]

I suppose it's technically a good thing that things have been so boring lately...

[spies-lost-in-time]

Technically.

[agent-carvour]

Do you ever think about... Well, hypothetically, I could take it in my own hands to make things more interesting.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Last time you did that a lot of people died.

[agent-carvour]

That was different. I could just steal things or something.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Like what?

[agent-carvour]

Like... new experimental technology, magical artifacts...

[spies-lost-in-time]

Yeah and there's no way that would end poorly.

[agent-carvour]

Not if you did your job right.

[spies-lost-in-time]

....oooooooh.

[agent-carvour]

We could secretly be archnemesis in a sort of double life. Hypothetically.

[spies-lost-in-time]

Hypothetically...could we have reprise of when you kidnapped me. Minus the murderous intent of course.

[agent-carvour]

But without the murderous intent, where would be the fun?

[spies-lost-in-time]

[calaverage]

Going okay. The move's been a little hectic.

Oh yeah right I moved.

[agent-carvour]

Oh really? Where?

[calaverage]

Pete and I found a place over by his college.

[agent-carvour]

Oh. That's... quite far away from here, isn't it?

[calaverage]

I mean it's still in state. Only about an hour's drive from Hatchetfield.

[agent-carvour]

Ah, that's not so bad then. Is Gail coming with you as well?

[calaverage]

No...she. She can't really leave Hatchetfield.

[calaverage]

Yeah Hatchetfield do be like that.

[agent-carvour]

[calaverage]

Hm. Weird.

[agent-carvour]

I always thought that Willabella Muckweb was a migrant from somewhere else who had the gift and brought it here during the time of Hatchetfield's founding.

And I could have it from the same source that she originally got it from.

I'm pretty sure the me from here had the same abilities but I don't know.

[calaverage]

Welp. That's weird.

[agent-carvour]

Yeah...But to be fair, that's kind of an intrinsic attribute of magic.

[calaverage]

True true

Are you still gonna keep your P.E.I.P. job?
