Oh, gosh! Hahaha, you never know in a place like this!

I'd like to hear everything you have to say, if it's not too much trouble!

[stupetballs]

Not at all! Would you like to do this in person? I promise I give a really dynamic presentation.

[mcpieceofshit]

Oh, of course! That would be lovely.

Where would you like to meet?

[cowman]

( Not Wynonna, then. Not Nicole. And - not Waverly, then. )

Mammon's demons are certainly dressed more luxuriously. As are his mattresses.

Do you remember dreaming?

[failed_antichrist]

Huh.... So I guess you wouldn't know what oils to use on them to water proof them, then?

But now I'm wondering if yours are just gonna show up like mine did when my powers woke up.

[stupetballs]

[ .... Well that's interesting.]

Actual dreams or memories from home dreams? Because if it's the former then yes, but if it's the latter then no.

[cowman]

( Try being him. )

The latter.

[stupetballs]

Did you? Have memories from home?

[Is he trying to keep back the spoilers?]

[cowman]

I've never met the arbiter of these dreams from home, but they seem to have concentrated them on me.

[stupetballs]

Anything we should know? Did Eve turn back up again?

[Or any other number of horrors, but she's had Eve on the brain lately.]

[cowman]

No, Eve has not resurfaced. The only thing you need to know is, Cleo's endgame does not come without casualties of a sort.

Waverly, you turn me human. I am human now. I woke up human.

[stupetballs]

[Somewhere, out loud, Waverly goes "Fuck a duck." Because of all the things she expected Doc to say, her turning him human was not it.]

I must have really leveled up.

[But, focusing back on the matter at hand:]

Is it okay that I did that? Are you okay?

[cowman]

( Her sister says the same thing, for the record, if anybody is ever surprised Waverly and Wynonna are sisters. )

I'd have perished, otherwise. I am grateful, Waverly. You gave me back my life.

[stupetballs]

Then I'm glad I could give it to you. Really, Doc, this is great news.

[cowman]

It is. I do carry with me more, but nothing that is relevant enough to any of our circumstances here. I will leave it up to you, but I believe it's best to keep our heads here.

That is, until the arbiter decides to include you.

[stupetballs]

[There's a moment where she wants to know. More information, after all, is usually the answer. But she can't change anything that happens in the future from here, so part of her wonders if it's worth finding out.]

Is there anything you think I need to know?

[She trusts him not to withhold something too dangerous.]

[cowman]

I will only say you asked me a question and I was honored to accept.

[stupetballs]

[The question doesn't spring to mind right away - she'll need to take some time with it, but she's glad that his answer is in the affirmative.]

Then I will enjoy trying to figure out what it was.

[He's being vague on purpose, clearly this is a puzzle to solve.]

But I'm glad you said yes.

[cowman]

There was never another answer.

Should you have more questions, you know where to find me. I am meeting up with Wynonna, too, if you need me to pass on any messages.

[stupetballs]

I will let you know.

[But just in case:]

Have you seen Willa?

it's a dumb song but i'll write it anyway

[middlefinger]

(after wynonna has checked out doc's humanness with her own eyes and hands she makes her way back to the suite, not even bothering to knock before she lets herself into waverly's room -- she really should what with nicole being there now but it wouldn't be the first time she walked in on them.

anyways. wynonna plops herself down next to her sister on the bed.)

So Doc's human again.

[stupetballs]

[Waverly doesn't seem flustered by Wynonna's appearance regardless, because the Earps are used to living in each other's pockets at this point. But one day, it's true, this likely will backfire on her, for better or worse.]

Yeah, he told me.

[She still honestly can't believe the means.]

He says I did it.

[middlefinger]

It's true. I mean at at least the human part.

(yes, she had to go see it for herself, nothing to examine about that.)

He told me you did it too. You must have leveled up pretty heavily.

[stupetballs]

[Waverly isn't necessarily surprised that Wynonna went to verify in person, but she's glad that she did. Whatever Wynonna needed to do to feel secure in that.]

Yeah, I must of. Something like that seems ... way above my paygrade right now.

[middlefinger]

Yeah. I get the feeling there are pieces of the story he isn't telling.

(not that she had dug deeply -- she had been distracted, to say the least.)
