[Sure, why not.]

And it's got a good nose, I'm guessing?

[brat]

I'll introduce you.

[levelshift]

Yeah, fine.

I'm going to doublecheck the computer in the hospital, just to make sure.

[If Robin's sure of this though, he doubts he'll find anything different.]

Goddamnit. His cop partner is here, and he isn't going to take this well.

[brat]

Connor is a resourceful ally. No decent partner would take his loss well.

cw: mention of alcoholism

[levelshift]

[He supposes it's lucky Hank's admitted he's an alcoholic, he can plan for it....]

Yeah. I'll send him a message later.

What about you?

[brat]

I have personal complications to manage.

Message me when you're available.

[levelshift]

What are you talking about?

[brat]

We can discuss it in person later.

[levelshift]

Fine. I'll let you know when I'm done. Where do you want to meet?

[brat]

Nova City.

[levelshift]

Okay.

[And now he has a very unfortunate text to send to Hank.]

Well, hi, Accelerator. Want to gamble on something with me?

[levelshift]

[Ugh, what on earth. What the hell is he doing, inviting him to poker game or something?]

Don't you know any adults for shit like that?

[banworthy]

I do, but I owe you one and not them.

So, want to hear my proposal?

[levelshift]

[Sigh. That 'debt' will never not be ridiculous in his eyes.]

Fine. What is it?

[banworthy]

Those points that we can give the bots allow us to acquire a wide variety of things. [ Dramatic pause. ] I'd like to see if we'd be able to return to you what you've lost when you died.

[levelshift]

[There's a long moment of silence as Accelerator takes the offer in.]

.......... Are you fucking with me?

1/2

[banworthy]

Why would I be? And what would be the benefit?

[banworthy]

This isn't something that can be found out overnight, mind you.

If I'm understanding this little point system, it'll take a few months to acquire the points necessary to test this out. However, I don't want to be slaving away without having someone to gamble this thought on.

[levelshift]

[Okay, point. Maybe he's just loathe to be a part of another experiment, he had thought he was done with being a test subject.

... Though it's better that it's him and not some other kid.

He clicks his tongue.]

I guess the worst that can happen is the robots reject your request and you have to spend your points on something else.

Fine, I'll be the fucking guinea pig.

[banworthy]

Indeed.

[ S M I L E ]

I appreciate your willingness to join me in this endeavor. The only thing I'm sorry for is the wait to find out if it's possible or not.

[levelshift]

I can be patient when I need to be. I doubt it'll work, anyways.

[He's going to go ahead and refuse to even entertain the idea that this will work, he doesn't want to get his hopes up.]

1/3

[banworthy]

Not a terrible way to think... best not get our hopes too high on this one.

[banworthy]

[ SIGH ]

[banworthy]

You know those thoughts you get of... "if only I hadn't spent those five points on porn to fulfill a request, I'd be five points richer than what I am now."

It won't really change the amount of wait that we have ahead of us, but I still can't help but have a little buyer's remorse.
