Fate didn't bother to stick around and wait for the results. His locating software had found "Robin Goodfellow" but it was highly unlikely the other man would make a mistake with how well-timed the camera blips had become. He could guess trajectory, try to get ahead and get a look, but what would be the point? Fate didn't need to see him to know where he was just now--and Robin Goodfellow seemed to have a knack for letting him know when he was around.
Besides. His stomach was growling.
He checked the timestamp on his implant and groaned. He'd been under a long time. Nutrition was priority one--even above the game. Fate shoved back his chair and headed for the blender. Tossing in his usual protein shake ingredients, ice, and even adding a bit of imported cocoa--none of that synthetic crap--he pressed the pulse button. Poured it in the tallest clean glass available. Walked it back to his chair. Took a sip.
And then barely kept said sip from spewing onto the HUD he'd draped over the arm of his chair.
"Okay." Fate shook his head slowly, baffled by this turnabout. "Okay, obviously that went sideways."
This wasn't destructive; not in the least. Spam could do nothing more than appear on his system, autocleansed as it went, though whatever Robin had concocted--could he not think of a word that didn't have "cock" in it?--seemed to be replicating faster than his system felt like keeping up. It was far less annoying than the opening salvo--though that might have been only because he wasn't in the middle of a job--and gay porn, besides? This definitely felt like it'd been meant to be a...a present.
Trying to determine if anything he'd sent over the wire could have been construed as flirtatious enough to receive such a comeback from the other man, he sighed. Pretty damn much anything could have a "tone" in the Net. Just about the only way he was going to resolve it would be to drop into audio comms with the incorrigible Robin Goodfellow.
He was loathe to do it. But certain things had to be made clear.
After he cleaned all the crap out of his system.
Fate downed his shake and slid back into his chair. He absolutely did NOT shop from whatever wares Robin was selling. And somehow, he was going to have to break it to him gently...and then of course there was the matter of revenge. So maybe less gently and maybe very direct. Naked lady porn might send the right message...
He stopped trying to come up with plans when audio began to flood the room again. This time choruses of deep voices and manly, desperate moans had him stabbing frantically at buttons without his usual grace, just to make it STOP.
"Oh stars, why??" he grumbled as he finally scrubbed the horrors from his machine. He ran an extra check in the background as he winked open a folder and loaded one of his favorites to help cleanse his brain of the man-on-man imagery. "Just to clear the palette. Before I figure out how to let him down easy."
Only one would do, and it had four women and 12 breasts.
But before he could enjoy it, more text scrolled across his monitors.
The cheeky bastard was quoting old Earth texts that rhymed--poetry for universe's sake!--and sending him gay porn.
Definitely flirting.
Just how in stars was he supposed to respond to that passage...oh, wait. Fate grinned as he nodded to the pace of the passage in his memory, recalling how it ended.
This wouldn't require audio at all.
>>So you're...
>>...into roleplaying animals with your men, then?
>>Hate to break the news but
>>I'm not that kind of bedfellow, Badfellow.
"In for the shutdown," Fate said, sliding his glass onto the minifridge by his desk and then firing off a few of his favorite vids before catching up on the messages Robin had typed while he'd been busy amusing himself with his own replies and sharing classics from his own porn collection.
The smile on his face widened. Then, despite considering Robin might be one of those crazy ones, far gone enough to have sent him a video of himself jacking off to something sultry from Earth circa 1920, he clicked Play.
And then he laughed.

Dreams come in a size too big so we can grow into them.
