Naboo [Monday, Fandom time]

Ben and Ender were still hosting houseguests, and since the speeder hadn't been destroyed the day before, it meant it was time for Cultural Opportunities In Town!

...or Twi'leks dancing around poles.

Po-tay-to, Po-tah-to.

There was plenty to see in Theed before then, of course, as it would be kind of tacky to watching dancing girls at lunch. Or so Ben assumed.

"I know!" Topher blurted out. "Because that was just Kate that one time and anyway she was only temporarily a vampire and that was a whole other thing, like, with an alternate universe something, which you definitely aren't because you're Ender, so that -- that would not be you! With the biting!"

Ender's eyebrows went up. "No, it wouldn't be," he said, "And we're not in that alternative universe."

"Because Kate isn't here."

...sure.

"We all had to deal with that fiasco a few years back," Ender said. He wasn't so sure that anything that made Topher so twitchy about Ender was something he particularly wanted to talk about, so he avoided forcing the issue.

For the best, Ender. For the best.

"Oh." Huh. "Um. So everyone was a vampire? That sounds... creepy."
endsthegame: (determined set)

"Not everyone. It was an alternative universe where half of us had become vampires, and the other half still fought them."

He was not going to go into specifics about himself, thank you.

"They used magical means to ask us on this end for help."
dollpocalypse: (awk: ooh oops)

"Oh."

Topher pondered that.

"Weird.
endsthegame: (looking askance)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-12-20 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Ender shot him a wry look. "Yes," he agreed, "A little weird."

"Sooooo." Topher shifted a little. "Hey, um, so your sister went to space."

Topher Brink: King of the non-sequiturs.

"Yes, a couple of years ago," Ender said, with a light shrug. "Peter got over it."

Mostly.
dollpocalypse: (awk: i attempt to recall)

"I think he's upset," Topher said.

It was only recently that he'd learned to care about that, and Ender could probably tell that he wasn't entirely comfortable with that.
endsthegame: (in the light)

Ender slanted a look at him. "He is," he said, deciding this wasn't the time to let his cynicism show.
dollpocalypse: (spazflail: dude i got no clue)

"Is there, like. Something I should say, or...?"
endsthegame: (determined set)

"It's Peter," Ender said. "He'll have found... something to distract himself already." He gave a shrug. "His problems are within our family, and it'll be a while before he takes solace from them, let alone the rest of the world."

And he could have said 'he might like it if you stuck around, even he won't say it', but he wasn't sure that was Topher needed was more of Peter's influence.

"Right." Topher flushed a little and brought a hand up to scratch the back of his neck, wondering if it was weird to have asked. "Uh. Sorry."
endsthegame: (is only mildly suspicious)

Re: Day 5

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-12-20 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't worry about it," Ender said, with a quick smile. "You're concerned about my brother - I get that."
dollpocalypse: (conv: curious (mild) talking)

Re: Day 5

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-12-20 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Feeling like he should expand on that somehow, Topher offered, "He, um. He's, you know. A good friend and all that."
endsthegame: (ender is in charge)

Re: Day 5

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-12-20 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"Is he?" There was that cynicism, yes. "I'm glad to hear it," he said. "My Peter never really had any good friends."

For good reason.
dollpocalypse: (neg: could've handled that better)

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-12-20 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh." Topher looked unsure. "Um. He has, like. Kenzi. And stuff."
endsthegame: (across the distance)

"Not in my universe," Ender reminded him. "He never went anywhere near Fandom - besides the occasional Parents' Weekend."
dollpocalypse: (!?: suspicious)

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-12-20 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, yeah, I figured," Topher said, nodding. "I just meant, you know. The one at Fandom. Now he does. Sorta."

A beat.

"He didn't -- I mean, anyone?"
endsthegame: (is always watching)

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-12-20 02:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Peter gets very wrapped up in his work," Ender said delicately.
dollpocalypse: (conv: not too galaxy quest is it?)

Re: Day 5

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2011-12-20 02:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"Which is -- what?" Topher wondered. "I mean. In your time. If you can say."
endsthegame: (determined set)

Re: Day 5

[personal profile] endsthegame 2011-12-20 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
"Just politics," Ender replied. "The details aren't really that interesting."

Lies.

"Oh, is it that, um, Polemarch thing? Or whatever it was?" Close but no cigar. "Or, no, that was the military one. Right? What's the other thing?"
