Congratulations! You've reached Booster Gold! I'm probably saving the world right now, but your call is important to me. Leave a brief but adoring message and I'll get right back to you.

He's also genuinely really strong. Not that you can't handle really strong but it wouldn't be a fun time

[...like it is for Jaime, apparently. Whatever, he's ridiculously overpowered, and they both know that.]

Dude I don't know. This is kinda new to me. I think I've only held onto his attention this long because he already knows I'm keeping an eye on him because... kids

Have you ever dealt with stuff like this?

[you_tried]

not quite. the stuff I get called in for is usually a little more
I dunno
straightforward?

[ There was Max, if they're discussing unpleasant superpowered standoffs, but that's a horse of an entirely different color. ]

I don't have the delicate touch

[khajidont]

That's never exactly been my specialty either

[Okay, so he's dealt in trickery before, but who gives a shit about accuracy he just wants to whine about it.]

[you_tried]

it's usually one and done, you know?

other people get sent in for the long haul diplomacy type stuff
or whatever the word for evil clown diplomacy is

[khajidont]

That sounds like the name of a rock band

[AND WE'VE HIT WAY OFF TOPIC]

I don't know if there's evil clown diplomacy so much as chill out and wait for him to mess up again so he gets arrested

Which makes me a non believer in redemption I guess but this is a pretty good exception to the rule

[you_tried]

well there's redemption and then there's psycho clowns
someone can stop robbing banks
but how often do you hear "I used to be a psycho clown but now I work at the local vegan co-op"
never, that's how often

what I'm saying is I'm with you

[khajidont]

I knew I could count on you to have my back

I don't know why it's clowns. For some reason they can dress up like literally everything else and do nice harmless crimes but the minute you put on that makeup you're screwed

[you_tried]

besides I don't think four months is enough to rehabilitate crazy
not that kind of crazy anyway

I'm still stuck on the "four months" thing
they're harsh on PLENTY of stuff
but apparently murder gets a slap on the wrist?

[khajidont]

Not that harsh actually. Going AWOL got me a slap on the wrist and they always talks like that's a big deal. Not that I'm complaining bc man I don't want to go to jail again

But for murder and stuff? It's ridiculous

[you_tried]

when were you in jail????????

[khajidont]

Oh right you weren't around for that. I'm pretty sure that it was the day you got ported out

and I wasted my phone call on you you jerk

[you_tried]

I WAS YOUR ONE PHONE CALL???????????????????

damn

I'm really sorry buddy

and I mean that on a lot of levels!

[khajidont]

You're abusing punctuation again. Also it was like my second month here who else was I going to call?

[No, Jaime, you don't know how to emote over text messages very well.]

[you_tried]

I don't know

I'm just not normally listed under emergency contacts

man I have bad timing

[khajidont]

Super bad timing. You know I'm kidding right? You don't have control over the porter. Unless you do and haven't said anything because then I'll be REALLY mad

[you_tried]

oh you mean the part where I've been heading home on the weekends?
yeah I forgot to mention that
need me to pick anything up for you?

[khajidont]

Bring the time bubble

[HE'S ONLY HALF JOKING]

[you_tried]

what could go wrong?

and this is where i realize booster got too distracted to ask what he went to jail FOR babe

[khajidont]

Absolutely nothing

[you_tried]

we'll take it for a joy ride
maybe go mammoth tipping

[khajidont]

That sounds like a one way trip to getting stomped on

[This would honestly be the perfect segue to ask Booster more about time travel, which he's been wanting to do for months, but --

Nah.]
