Oh, Logan

[obligatoryass]

He's in the bar, looking far too pleased with himself. He ought to be wearing a button reading: "I'm a genius! Ask me how!" but alas, he is not.

One reason is the upcoming date with Hannah. A masterstroke of manipulation, dating the daughter of the fake witness against him. Plus, she is supercute.

The other? Logan has a hip flask. Full of whiskey. And he shares. Usually.

"Probably only by a few months, when is your birthday?"

She was about half a year off of 14, that had to count.

"At least we know we had different Presidents, so you don't have to worry about some things. How are things back home?"

[obligatoryass]

"March 21," Logan says. "Born in '88."

The mun cannot do math. He was 13 in 2001.

[agirllost]

She grins, "I was born April 12, 1988...you're only about a month older than me."

Or so mun thinks. She knows Kim was 15 almost 16 in March 2004.

"That's just...bizarre," Logan says. "Because you're, what, 22 or so now? I wonder if there's a Logan Echolls in your world who's older and stuff."

And closer to normal, with parents who never became movie stars.

"I'm from May, so, I'm 23." She thinks for a moment, "I don't know, I'm not sure if it works that way...mainly because imagining another me out there's a little frightening."

Although she had been to her very own alternate timeline.

"It is really freaky," he agrees. "I pretty much don't want to know, really. But it's crazy to think about."

[agirllost]

She tries to smile, "Well, it seemed like the you from your world seemed pretty happy when you came in here."

[obligatoryass]

"Yeah, things are looking up," he says. "I went to winter carnival and had kind of a good time, and I'm getting closer to figuring out how not to get convicted of murder. So yeah, things are looking up."

[agirllost]

It's been a long year for her. "I'm...not sure if you mentioned that before."

[obligatoryass]

Logan gives her an easy smile. "Might not have," he says. "I'm framed for murder, at home. I got jumped on a bridge by a biker gang, and one of them died. I didn't do it, and I'm trying to prove that."

[agirllost]

"I'm a little confused...you didn't do it, but even if you did, wouldn't hurting someone who's trying to hurt you be self defense?"

[obligatoryass]

"That was the first trial," Logan says glumly. "They tried me for manslaughter, I got off on self-defense and lack of evidence. This new witness says I was spewing all kinds of racist crap, though, and that I sounded crazed. Guess it's enough."

[agirllost]

She glances at him, "And the cops just believe him without any evidence?"

[obligatoryass]

Logan shrugs. "Sheriff's not too fond of me. Plus, dad's a murderer, so you know, it probably runs in the family."

[agirllost]

"Yeah, once they believe you did something...it's really hard to convince them otherwise."

[obligatoryass]

"Exactly," Logan says glumly.
