backdated a couple days

[touchofgenius]

[The video flips on and it's blurry and then shakes as Birkin's phone flies through the air and lands in a pile of dirt. Birkin is then seen following his phone's example and landing in Stein's front yard before the owner of said house slams his front door and locks it.

Birkin, rather understandably, sits up looking absolutely livid]

Asshole! Fucker! You can't just kick me out of my own house you dick! Three years and this is what I get?! No! No, no, no... I'll get a lawyer! I'm pretty sure we were in a common law marriage at this point! And I will sue your ass in half, Fran- Stein!

[He sighs, before picking up his phone and clearing his raw-from-yelling-way-too-much throat] Yeah, hi, I, uh... I need a worldhop back home I guess. Home-home, I mean. The universe I was born in, the one I won't get [turns back to Stein's house, showing the variety of things all belonging to Birkin littering the lawn] forcibly removed from! At a moment's notice! For no reason! [Ahems again and goes back to the phone.] So, yeah, I, uh... Yeah, worldhop. Home. Et cetera.

Oh! Uh... A-Ah, uh... Annette? Can we...? Can I...? [He sighs again, looking guilty and embarrassed] Can I just talk to you? Please?

[Somehow or another, Birkin manages to stop the video before he starts to cry, but the audio manages to pick up the beginning of a sob before getting cut off.]

Need a plathe to crash?

[Video]

[touchofgenius]

Uh... Seriously? You'd let me stay with you? I mean, that'd be really great to just have a place that I can sort of... Clear my head for a few days before I head on back to the zombie-ridden hellhole that is my universe. If you want. I won't stay long! I promise!

[thekidsare0kay]

Uh... I wathn't really theriouth. But...I guethh you could. If you really need to.

[jailbirds]

Sucks to be you, huh. I'd offer a nicer place to crash than troll planet, but I don't have one. You probably don't wanna live in prison.

[touchofgenius]

Yeah, jail sounds pretty shitty... But thanks for the offer. Seriously. I really do appreciate it. I didn't entirely expect you to offer much of anything. So... Yeah, just thanks.

[jailbirds]

Ugh. C'mon, you're already making me regret saying it at all.

[material_guy]

Lover's quarrel?

[touchofgenius]

Community-related lover's quarrel. I guess waking up next to some guy he didn't know kinda... Freaked Stein out a bit.

[material_guy]

So now you gotta go crawling back to the girl you were with before?

[mightletyouknowme]

Two guys can't have common law marriage.

[Good focus she has.]

[touchofgenius]

Gee. Thanks. It's not like it really matters either way; even if we could, my story makes me sound fucking insane for one, and no one in this universe likes me for two.

[mightletyouknowme]

With a name like Frank Stein, probably.

[rulingwinds]

A domestic dispute...how sad. Do you need any help, sir?

[touchofgenius]

Unless you can worldhop or erase my memory of the relationship in general, I'm good.

And it's not exactly a dispute so much as it's "the community making him forget who I am".

[rulingwinds]

Sorry...and again, sorry...I can do neither of those things.

That sounds pretty horrible sir...that the community could do something like that...I didn't know that there could be such a painful downside.

[croibhristeoir]

[Aaaaand once he pieces the situation together:]

...I'm so sorry.

[touchofgenius]

...You were Issei's, weren't you? I guess more than most people, you get what I'm going through, huh?

[croibhristeoir]

[A nod.]

My name's Diarmuid, or Lancer if you prefer. Birkin, right? It's nice to finally meet you, despite circumstances.

The only difference between our situations is had that happened to me, I would be dead. I can not, however, claim that the idea that he could look at me and not know who I am is not a frightening one.

Is there anything I can do for you? I realize you hardly know who I am, but I would like to be sure you're alright for Issei's sake as well as your own.

[bare_my_fangs]

I'll give you a six for form but that landing was awful, man.

[touchofgenius]

Gee, thanks. The landing wasn't so bad; better than if I'd landed in ou- his piranha-infested pool.

Also nice to see you again Michael. I missed you.

[bare_my_fangs]

Yeah, I've been getting that a lot. Makes a guy feel loved.

So did you stop putting out or something?

[WOAH]

[howbadcanibe]

Are you okay, Birkin? You can stay here if you want. My house is not too big but I'm sure we can find a solution.

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

That's a rough situation you are in. The agency if big enough in case you need a palce to stay Mr. Birkin.

[Arthur made an habit of adopting stray people from other worlds, don't mind him.]

[touchofgenius]

"The agency"? Pardon my paranoia, but that admittedly sounds a little, you know, suspect.
