@toirsire replied: "you need to make that list and reflect on it long and hard, pal."

"oh, c'mon, kid. i was hopin' this'd be some kinda couple's activity."

@toirsire asked: "I  miss  ten  seconds  ago  when  I  didn't  see  that."  [  from  kyle  /  toirsire  ]

“i’ve  seen  worse.”  jason  nudges  the  body  with  his  toe,  flipping  them  over  onto  their  back.  most  of  the  man’s  face  is  missing  after  a  point  blank  shotgun  blast.  it’s  a  gorey  sight,  blood  and  viscera  oozing  from  the  hole  and  onto  the  floor.  well,  if  he  didn’t  want  a  shotgun  blast  to  the  face,  he  shouldn’t  have  brought  a  gun  to  a  knife  fight.  

“have  you  heard  of  professor  pyg?  real  nasty  guy.  likes  to  graft  bits  on  bodies  that  don’t  belong  on  bodies.  gnarly  stuff.”  he  shudders  at  the  memory.  it  unnerves  even  him,  seeing  pyg’s  dollotrons.

@toirsire asked: “maybe i should leave you some hard light toys. for the cats, i mean." rayner sips on his cup of coffee, watching the construct cat play with the other, living ones. it's quite strange, imagining he has created a life—it still doesn't make sense to him, that he should be gifted with a power like this. "i think the others would like 'em too. what d'you think?"

“y’know, baby, you’ve gotta real good head on your shoulders.”

she’s refilling her cup of coffee — it’s her second one — and she drops a kiss to his temple as she passes. her smile is warm, soft, absolutely gentle. she’s a very grounding creature for someone so flighty.

“yeah. i bet the little buddy would love that. y’wanna name her? i wanted you to so i didn’t. i’ve just been calling her baby. what a sweetheart.”

she coos, leaning forward on folded hands, chocolate eyes sparkling. fingers steeply beneath her chin with a soft gleaming beam. she sighs lovingly, lashes fluttering, brightened solely by the presence of her little feline cluster.

“thanks for this one, ky. it was very sweet of you. and it gives you the best excuse to come visit, doesn’t it? what’s a better excuse than a cute little kitten? and also the cat.”

she snorts with a chuckle.

“by that i mean holly. but i can totally understand how you might mean me.”

she’s exhausting.

@toirsire replied:

"can you absorb my constructs?" there is a theory he wants to test. something about the emotional electromagnetic spectrum and how it'd react to taro's skill.

" i...maybe? " if it was light, then they should be able to manipulate it--or absorb it. reconstruct it. taro's fingers twitched a little, a bit nervous. it wouldn't hurt kyle at all, would it? they didn't entirely know how connected he was to his constructs- though given he was asking, they doubted it would would hurt him.

" i could try? "

[vitrumbra-a]

"hey, taro. you manipulate light, right?" kyle wants confirmation before he throws him another question, perhaps one a few degrees trickier.

taro blinked, taking a moment to answer--it was still weird being open about it. that it was okay to talk about their abilities, and they wouldn't get into five feet under of trouble. they nodded and pulled the arm-length glove off of their left arm, the dark purple-black crystals glistening. even as light prickled on them, did it seem to wiggle and refract; like mini prisms.

" mmhm. can do a whole lot with just a little light. "

they turned their head towards kyle. setting the crystal covered arm over their lap.

" why do you ask? "

[vitrumbra-a]

i am fundamentally incapable of showing off. [ he's lying. he's a liar, ]

" no offense- i think you're wrong. "

as someone that didn't show off--really at all--taro wouldn't help but to strongly disagree. a part of them definitely did want the confidence to be so willing to show off! maybe it was out of fear that the wrong person might see them do whatever...or it was the thought that they wouldn't even be able to have so much control.

imagine if they were so confident that they forgot that there might be some sort of consequence to their actions.

" i mean- you just showed off! "

Wally rolled his eyes, but there was more amusement behind the gesture than anything. Even if he and Kyle never truly saw eye-to-eye in their shared history with the league, the speedster would be lying if he said didn't miss the green lantern. He'd never say that out loud, though.

"Well, shucks, Rayner. If I knew you'd be this happy to see me, I would have made the decision to annoy you a long time ago. How's my least favorite space cop?"

[vitrumbra-a]

let kyle scruff him, gently,

Taro knew that they were being a little more reckless than usually, but...! They were getting a better handle on things and they knew they could do it!! Even so, when they felt the more gentle tug on their collar, a squeak--identical to a rat, or some kind of rodent--emitted from their throat.

SCRUFFED. ( accepting ! )

" kyle- "

They turned their head to the side then flicked back forward, but didn't make too much of an attempt to get out from their lifted pose.

" i'm pretty sure- i can handle this!! "
