[The feed clicks on and there's a beat or two of silence. Gene's still trying to wrap his mind around what exactly happened.

Honestly, he's thinking a lot about what Mickey said, about this place seeming like a bad acid trip.]

Anyone know why the lights are goin' on and off?

[Shouldn't things be going back to normal? They stopped whatever that creature was, hadn't they?]

[Friends Filter]

Everyone alright?

[He's especially worried about Jimmy and Snaf, but Scott and Isaac and everyone, too.]

[ooc: One friendly conversation rule applies, go nuts. c:]

[It's good enough for him, and before he knows it, he passes his hand over Gene's head in what could pass for a paternal ruffle. It's over too soon for that, though, and he sits back again to sip at the vodka.]

That guy makes everyone feel out of shape.

[The gesture startles Gene enough that he ducks his head and flashes a small smile almost before he even realizes he's doing it. Again, he's reminded of their counterparts from the breach, and again it's a fleeting thought, but... it's good to be here and know Jimmy's here and alive and for the moment out of the line of fire.

Of course, he doesn't say any of that.]

You seen him in action?

At the gym. [Not that he actually works out at the gym, but whatever.]

I wouldn't like to go up against him.

I'd like to think you're not gonna have a reason to.

[Jimmy's got bad decision making skills sometimes, but he doesn't seem like he'd think yeah, sure, pissing off Steve Rogers is a really great plan.]

[He smiles a little, pressing down on the impulse to ruffle Gene's hair again.]

That one's gonna be easy to avoid, yeah.

Good. [Gene flashes a smile, and it actually looks like it breaks through the fatigue and everything else for longer than a fleeting moment. Not much longer than one, mind, but maybe that's enough for now.]

Sorry for complain'.

[He leans back and finishes the glass in his hand, then immediately pours himself a new glass.]

You have nothing to be sorry about, Gene.

You need me to get anything else, let me know. [Since he's assuming you don't want to and won't really want to get up and wander around for a couple days if you don't have to.] Unless you've got enough food and books to last a couple days.

I'll drag myself to the cafeteria if I want any food. [he raps his knuckles on the table, weakly]

Thank you, though.
