Good-ass genes there.

[throughbamboo]

See, s'why I'm jealous. Ain't fair that ya keep yer handsome face an' my ass just keeps gettin' older.

[doggonemad]

I feel like ya always looked like an old man though.

[throughbamboo]

Mmm, s'true. Ain't ever looked young, that's fer sure.

[doggonemad]

Now me, I got a total baby face if I shave. Even now.

[throughbamboo]

[grins at that, drawing his hand back to pat his cheek]

I can tell.

[doggonemad]

This is why I hate this quasi-amnesia shit. I'm thinkin' back on how long it took me ta grow facial hair an', yanno. I know the answer fer Estoria, but is that the truth? It don't seem like it.

[throughbamboo]

Mmm . . . don't think ya had it when we were younger, at least. I remember thinkin' how different ya looked when we met up again.

[doggonemad]

Right? Didn't have it in that earlier vision either. Must've taken a bit.

[throughbamboo]

Maybe. How long did it take for Gray?

[doggonemad]

Mid to late 20s. Well after his actin' career was over an' done with. Hey, this shit bein' a dream'd explain how those old movies exist.

[throughbamboo]

It would. S'not a bad theory . . . explains plenty if all this is might be what if shit, too.

[doggonemad]

Thing is, it seems like the Showmaster an' the Ticketmaster don't know all that much 'bout our situation. I told ya 'bout my meetin' with Ticki-chan, remember? She was tellin' me someone gives her the visions, but she ain't got any idea who.

[throughbamboo]

Mmm, I remember. Which makes sense, since I don't think either of 'em are runnin' the show here.

[doggonemad]

Which meaaaans . . . I gotta get off my ass an' organize a seance.

[throughbamboo]

Don't get yer ass haunted, bro.

[doggonemad]

Whatever. I think we all could stand ta do more shit.

[ shifts, taking out his phone. ]

Think I got a contact on each family. Could make a new text group, start Project LEGEND.

[throughbamboo]

Hah, ain't arguin' that.

[makes a curious noise, leaning back to look]

S'not a bad idea. Who ya got?

[doggonemad]

Uhhh, lessee . . . you an' me, Sam an' Cade, so that's Sirens, Forge, Sun Sign, an' Cirrus covered. Could pull Aster from Acidia in, kid's a real go-getter. Forte's our best bet fer Unholy.

[ makes a face. ]

You familiar with anyone in Eonia or the Holy Order? Only one in the Order I really know is the paparazzi kid.

[throughbamboo]

[a noise of approval]

Aster an' Forte both're good kids. Been talkin' 'bout this shit with Aster already.

[hmmmm. Makes a face after a moment]

Only guy I know on Eonia is that lil' shit Affy. Owes me money.

[doggonemad]

God, fuck that guy. Okay, how 'bout we have that be the initial six an' then I go okay, we need Holy Order an' Eonia in on this, who knows someone there?

[throughbamboo]

Reminds me, I made him Forge's assistant to pay off what he owes. But if y'all need to borrow him, I'll make him help ya out.

That'd work, though. Bet 'Cade knows someone for sure.

[doggonemad]

Cool.

[ rolls over so he can press his back (and tail) against Ore and starts tapping away at his phone. ]

I can get this shit set up right now.

[throughbamboo]

[he knows better than to touch the tail, tempting as it is.

But he will shift a little closer to hook his chin over his shoulder to watch]

[doggonemad]

[ without even looking back: ]

You can touch it. I ain't that cruel.
