...isn't that a little dangerous?

Negative. This experiment is being conducted under optimal conditions and the most stringent safety regulations---

[It clicks. That's B5. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD, MISTER. He's dropping the vial and instinctively leaping out of the way of the debris, crashing into the (thankfully empty) table behind him.]

Why---how---who---I'm dreaming. Hallucinating. Experiencing some sort of sensory deception. [Rubbing at his glasses and muttering incoherently now.]

[Winces and the spill and quickly contains it and the fumes.]

No, you're not dreaming or hallucinating. It's... complicated. Most people seem to prefer hugging instead of explanations though.

> [Complicated how?]
> [Speaking of those hugs...]
> [ARE YOU A ROBO-ZOMBIE NOW?!]
> [I don't talk to dead people.]

[[asfgjh why did LJ log me out for that?! T__T ]]

[[D: *gives LJ a good kick*]]

>[Complicated how?]

[Explanation first. Hug later, when he's scientifically sure that there won't be a robo-zombie apocalypse.]

Complicated in what way? I may not have your level of intelligence, but I believe I could try to follow an explanation. Forgive my disbelief.

Well it's to do with pocket dimensions and a little bit of bending the rules of time and space. Suffice to say I only really exist here.

> [That... actually sounds pretty depressing. Thanks for that. :| ]
> [Decide to change the topic to something safer.]
> [Ask for more information just to be sure there isn't a robo-zombie apocalypse... of one.]
> [Stick it-- WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?!]

> [That... actually sounds pretty depressing. Thanks for that. :| ]

So your time is limited, and your existence is confined to this pocket dimension.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to interact with you, but...doesn't it get lonely?

[He looks rather sad for you.]

Not really. Everyone else is here too and I have plenty of people to talk to. [You get a reassuring smile, Billy!]

> [Okay, now there can be hugs!]
> [Apologise for sucking at robo-surgery.]
> [Shouldn't we do something about that chemical spill?]
> [Depress the hell out of him by talking about all the awesome fun times he'll miss on the good ship Stacy.]

>[Okay, now there can be hugs!]

I'm glad. Please understand---I wouldn't normally do this, but these circumstances compel me to express gratitude. [He might not have this chance again, so---screw it, B5 is being pulled into a careful hug. Cue surprised noise when he learns that the body is solid.]

((^joins failpile now. Pretend I replied logged in here with this icon.))

[[XD It happens to the best of us <3]]

[The hugging is commonplace enough now to be expected, so there's only the slightest hesitation before it's returned]

It's fine. I understand it must have been very... difficult. Especially for you and my counterpart.

> [Awkwardly try and apologise.]
> [More hugging!]
> [Both A and B.]
> [Tell him you were totally over it.]

>[Both A and B]

[Relieved that the hug is returned. He'll hold a little longer if you don't mind.]

B5, I...you're right. I believe, however, that the pain your counterpart feels is far more personal than mine. [That sounded bad. Immediately pulling back to apologize, hands on his shoulders.]

I don't intend to imply that I don't care---I do, of course, and I deeply regret that we won't have the opportunity to work together in the future. To have connections beyond the demands of work. If we could have saved you, we would have---[Okay, rambling. Stopping now.]

What I'm trying to say is that we miss you, but your counterpart should probably be the one seeing you right now. The two of you had a unique relationship due to your status.

[Small laugh] I understand what you mean. And I would have liked to get to know more people as well. Have friends rather than people I work with.

[Hesitation and looking away] I'd like to talk with him, but I haven't seen him around. I wonder... Do you think he's avoiding me?

> [Probably. You did kinda die in front of him.]
> [He's probably busy with other things. He wouldn't avoid you on purpose.]
> [But he's right over there! *run away while his back is turned*]
> [Did you try his omnicom?]

>[He's probably busy with other things. He wouldn't avoid you on purpose.]

[Reaching for his shoulder again] Brainy has repeatedly demonstrated that he cares about you. He'd probably question the logic of the situation at first, but I have no doubt that he would seize the opportunity to spend more time with you. He probably just hasn't had the time to realize that you're here.

In the meantime...I should probably take care of this spill. [He ducks to do just that. So much for stringent safety regulations.]

You're right. But I just wish I could speak to him. I don't want him or anyone else to blame themselves for what happened.

...here, let me help. It isn't as dangerous to me.

> [Let him take care of it.]
> [Help out and get it done in half the time!]
> [Insist you do it yourself.]
> [Throw the remaining chemicals at him.]

>[Help out and get it done in half the time!]

Don't worry, I'm certain that he'll come find you. Here, there should be enough room to clean this up over there. [Gloves and mask are on. That safety equipment was good for something after all! It's clean soon enough.]

Thank you. For everything. [Smile. He's really glad you're here.]
