Logan. Bar. Coffee.

He went home recently. Didn't much like it, so he came back. Things are chaos at the Casablancas house and in Neptune in general, and normally Logan would be thrilled, but his playmate's too busy for him at the moment, and Veronica and Duncan are still super-lovey.

Miliways is a better place to be at the moment.

He's pleased to be here, and looking for a chat.

((OOC: On way to cafe for homeworking, but will be online most of the night.))

"Hey," Behrooz says a little quietly, sitting down next to him.

Logan smiles at Behrooz. "Hey yourself," he says. "Is it another day of woe in Milliways?"

He shrugs slightly. "I wouldn't know, I just came in."

"Sometimes, that's the best time to be here," Logan says. "Before the angst sets in really hard core and there's no fun to be had."

Behrooz thinks about this for a moment. Then says, "I just saw it as a good time to put off doing homework."

Logan laughs. "That too," he says. "Even though I've blown off school most of the week, so no homework for this hooky-playing truant."

"Well, if you do go back, you can always come in here to make it up," he says, trying to push the homework issue from his mind.

"Very good point," Logan says. "And totally sneaky, which is really the best part."

Pause.

"Unless time decides to speed up instead of stand still at home. It did that once, and dude, that was so not cool."

He looks briefly to the door, and then back again. "Yeah, that wouldn't be good for me."

"I wouldn't recommend it," Logan says. "It's profoundly weird."

As there was a point when Behrooz was getting memories from two different outside lives while in the bar, he had a feeling he vaguely knows what this is like. But he says, "I'll try to avoid it. Though I doubt I'd have much choice in it, anyway."

Behrooz's sounds worse, really.

"True enough," Logan agrees. "The Bar sends whither it wills, and all of that."

Well, his mun likes to be confusing sometimes.

After a moment, he asks, "I take it things aren't much better on the outside now, then?"

"Depends on how you define better," Logan says, rolling his eyes. "If you mean the papers are now running stories about someone else's dad every day, then yes."

"I guess that means things could be worse," he says.

At this point, Behrooz might be thinking about his own parents appearing in the media. Or not. The muns haven't come to a consensus over the national security issues of this yet. Suffice to say it's complicated.

"It does indeed," Logan says. "Sucks for my friends whose dad defrauded a shitload of stockholders, though."

Complicated indeed. Who knows what happened? With Behrooz, we might never really.

"That sounds like it would," he says. Pause. "My father never did that. I wouldn't know."

With Behrooz, we never did know. *sends the writers who wrote him out on a cliffhanger a very, very nasty look*

"Mine either," Logan says. "Course, muder one's worse, but whatever."

Oooh. They truly are evil. Maybe Behrooz will be back?

"Yeah. It is."

Look! He said something! Kind of. Granted, you have to be observant to catch it.

Eheh. Not likely. They even created two completely different endings for him! And then... didn't show... either of them... this obviously made the mun very happy when she found out.

Logan almost catches it, but it's tough to hold onto.

He raises an eyebrow. "Sounds like you might know from experience."

Subtle? Logan? Why would you expect that?

Behrooz gives him a look.

... that's about all the response there is.

Logan purses his lips. Yeah. Nothing else to say.

On the other hand, Behrooz can say that about his mother, too. But on the plus side, his mother never tried to kill him. Just his girlfriend.

... you pick your battles.

Behrooz looks back down at the bar. This is somewhat awkward now.

Just a little. But Logan's experienced at Awkwardness now.

"Have you seen Lilly's newspaper yet? It's pretty funny."

"No, I haven't."

Pause.

"That was a pretty big segue."
