MoM IC Contact: TAKE TWO

[khajidont]

Jaime's cell phone is more or less plugged riiiight into his brain, so he tends to pick up like 99% of the time! If not, however...

"Hey, Jaime here! Leave a message, and I'll get back to you ASAP."

text; HERE WE GO...........

[beastboi]

hey jaime
its bb! beast boy
i wanted to ask you more about that stuff you mentioned
if there were different versions of me here before, were there any versions of my friends, too?

[He doesn't think about the fact that Jaime may very well have no idea who he means by 'friends'.]

HERE WE GO!!

[khajidont]

Hi!

It's certainly possible. Who were some of your friends? You can use their codenames or their real names. Usually capes keep doing their thing once they get here anyway.

[beastboi]

[Makes sense. He can't imagine any his pals ditching the hero job if they showed up here.]

starfire, robin, cyborg and raven! sound familiar?

[khajidont]

They do. All of them exist where I'm from.

[ Though hearing Gar even text about Raven... ugh. But this isn't that Beast Boy. He can't take it out on the poor kid. ]

But only Robin's been here. Which Robin are you talking about?
There've been like three of them. Maybe four.

[beastboi]

[HUH...WHAT ON EARTH ARE U TALKIN ABOUT JAIME... him and Raven are best friends!!!!]

woah what!!!! ALL of them!!! what about batman? hes GOTTA exist in your world right? the doom patrol? aqualad? más y menos???

[He's just spitting out random names enthusiastically when the important one comes to him. It's hard to ask.]

terra?

my robin is-- uh- well idk if i should say his name, dude! we kinda don't do that!

[khajidont]

Ummm. Batman for sure. Doom Patrol maybe? Aqualad yes. I'm like 90% sure. Mas y menos maybe not? There's not that many Latino heroes out there.

You don't have to say a name! Just give me a number. Like, Robin 2 or 3, or the OG Robin?

[khajidont]

[ -- WAIT. ]

You know Terra?

[beastboi]

[COOL LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE MATTERS NOW]

yes? yeah dude yes
is hse here?
do you know heR? is is the same terra? shes blonde and really nice and controls rocks and stuff

[He remembers the girl at the party. He remembers Jaime talking about someone claiming to be his friend, and him not remembering them at all.]

[khajidont]

Yeah she's here! I know her.

[ He's her gotdang probation officer. ]

Were you one of her roommates? She mentioned that she had some.

[beastboi]

[There's a lengthy wait before Gar replies. When he does, it's not to answer Jaime's question.]

where is she staying?

[khajidont]

Ummmm

No offense dude but I can't just give away where someone lives when I don't even know you or how you know her. That would be like a supremely crappy thing to do

[beastboi]

[How does he explain? How do you say, "she was my best friend and I loved her and I fought her and she almost killed me and then she was just gone and now I know what it's like to talk to petrified rock like it's s real person".

It's not his story to tell. It's Terra's. Terra, who is apparently alive. Gar feels like he's gonna be sick.]

jaime PLEASE
yes she lived with us with the titans and then a lot of bad things happened

shes no t

[Maybe he shouldn't even say this much, but he's desperate.]

back home she's been gone a long time

[khajidont]

[ Is she dead? Did he befriend another dead kid? Ahhh, shit. ]

I'm sorry. I know it's hard meeting people like that again here. Or hearing that they're here.

Look, she lives with me, and she's doing okay. Roof above her head, food on the table, that kind of thing. [ He's also her probation officer, buuuuuut he's gonna leave that part out. ] Why don't I give you her number? Or I can give her yours?

[beastboi]

[...He. Pauses. Jaime is his best bet at seeing her again, so Gar wants to be careful about what he says.]

she might, um. that might not work. i didnt do anything bad i promise! the last time i saw her she saved my life. [He's allowed to say that much, he thinks. That's part of his story, after all.] but then i THINK i saw her at a party here? and for some reason she acted like she didnt know me. or wasnt herself.

PLEASE can you tell me where you live? i just
i just want to talk to her
i miss her

[khajidont]

[ There's a couple minutes where he doesn't respond - because he knows how the kid feels. He really does. ]

I'm sorry. It's not that I think you're bad or that you're not being honest with me but if she doesn't want to see you I have to respect that.

While she's living underneath my roof, her well being is my priority.

Just try to call her. If she wants to talk to you, she will.

[beastboi]

[He sighs, heavy and disappointed. Gar knows Jaime is right. That doesn't make it suck any less.]

yeah. okay. ill try.

i know this is weird, i
thanks i guess

[khajidont]

Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.

Keep trying. You two will get there.
