It is a constant source of amazement to me that schiarire and I can talk as often as we do and yet never run out of things to say. In fact, sometimes we produce conversations of WONDER.



(following on from idle chat about Roger & Melody & girly drinks & Thom being a powernerd)

Fahye: I want Thomas M and Henry back

Ji: me too
though, I don't know, would that make Thomas feel better or worse
really

Fahye: that Henry/Thom fic is the most fucked up ever. I should reread it
Thomas B and Henry should become friends. that would be good for both of them
They can be personable at each other!

Ji: yes, probably. they would have to accept their accidental involvement in Thom's natural life-ruining function
if prolongedly exposed to each other

Fahye: Yep. And then they would BOND over it because they are healthy people in some ways

Ji: That would be really impressive.
I imagine this involving massive amounts of alcohol also.
Previously I would have said Thomas could drink Henry under the table in about two minutes, but now that he's an evil politician he has probably got a higher resistance.
It's required.

Fahye: He probably fakes it better than Thomas
you know, seems perfectly fine until he PASSES OUT

Ji: heh
he probably has an aide whose entire function is to keep him from passing out around other politicians

Fahye: Hahaha. And another one whose job it is to recognise the signal for 'I'm bored' and then dutifully volunteer to be destroyed on the soccer field.

Ji: YES
wow, it is good to be evil PM

Fahye: uh huh

Ji: no dancing girls though :(

Fahye: I am trying to imagine that
Henry: ....but what are they FOR?

Ji: *weeps*
Thom: even I know THAT

Fahye: Henry: Do any of you girls know Twelfth Night?

Ji: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Fahye: Henry King has no dancing girls! Henry King has scantily-clad Shakespeareans
He would invite other world leaders out to the opera.

Ji: they would actually be boys, but even he cannot get away with ALL politically offensives
hahaha
only the Russians and Germans would really like that, I think
two nations Henry King is predetermined not to like very much

Fahye: He would be a lot like Jed Bartlett, basically.
he would make a lot of overeducated snarky comments

Ji: perhaps that is why he takes them to the opera, so they don't have to interact much but he still makes a positive impression
Jed Bartlett is not UNHINGED

Fahye: true.
Thomas B would love being friends with the PM.
good for business!

Ji: Henry is a little bit crazy. The craziest of them actually.
hahahaha
he should come to terms with Thom's sluttiness and just deploy it to his own advantage.

Fahye: HEE. He would come away from certain meetings and be all: Thom, they do not respond to reasonable conversation and smiles! But I think that one there might respond to you. Go!

Ji: Thomas: Thom, I want a merger
Thom: WHAT IS THIS
Thom: I'M NOT A SEDUCTION MACHINE

Fahye: Thomas would get sneaky about it

Ji: hahahaa

Fahye: Have special cocktail parties for mingling
and then just introduce Thom to people and scamper away

Ji: that is TERRIBLE
Thom would be FURIOUS.

Fahye: Thomas: We all play to our strengths, Thom!

Ji: Thom: Why did EVERYONE at that party try to get into my pants?!
Thom: I TRY to spend SOME time with my clothes ON

Fahye: Thomas: Look, more money for your projects! *waves*
*hides behind graph of projected share prices*

Ji: Thom: WHEN DO I GET TIME TO WORK ON THESE PROJECTS

Fahye: Thomas: I have faith in your efficiency

Ji: that is mean, then it is a challenge

Fahye: I'm assuming that by this stage in their lives Thomas has learned to play Thom a LITTLE

Jinah: well, I HOPE so.
It's actually not that difficult.
Thom's so reactive

Fahye: and Thomas knows pattern recognition

Ji: yes
the things that make Thom blow up are all all right
the things that make him shut down are the really dangerous ones

Fahye: such as?

Ji: oh, god...
I suppose anything that touches on the truth about his past, actually
though that's probably hard to gauge from the outside

Fahye: I guess he's lucky that Thomas is an only child
no sibling-buttons to be pressed by accident

Ji: it's tricky, because the most dangerous things (Roger, Alanna ... maybe his father, I guess) are all so hard to uncover
he isn't really touchy about Lucifer
I guess also... his real motivations

Fahye: nope. And Thomas would never suspect the existence of a Roger when there is a Lucifer there to smirk and create assumptions

Ji: yes, it's very convenient for Thom
he owes Lucifer something

Fahye: he owes Lucifer LOTS of somethings

Ji: don't remind him...

Fahye: Lucifer considers Blue Sun to be part repayment

Ji: That's good.
He did also basically promise to spend his afterlife doing whatever dirty work Lucifer wants.
I imagine eventually all the somethings will be repaid.

Fahye: Thom's existence is so weird
alive - dead for a bit - oops, alive again - aaaand dead again

Ji: it's all one to him
I think he is actually sort of keen to be dead again
once he has good and mucked up the world
so he won't be bound by the laws of physics all the time anymore

Fahye: hahah. that sounds very thom

Ji: thom: well this was a great experience but when do I get to make FIRE WITH MY MIND

Fahye: that's interesting. I wonder what Lucifer is doing with his Gift. keeping it in a box?

Ji: Only you can answer this question!
I imagine his supernatural powers status will not be exactly what he was used to after dying, um, again.

Fahye: Lucifer: look, I used some of it up showing off to your niece, but hey! here's the rest

Ji: Thom: Well it used to regenerate FROM MY LIFE FORCE, I DON'T KNOW HOW I WILL FIX IT NOW
Thom: *huff*
he will love Hell I think.

Fahye: Lucifer: don't sulk. you can have a corner office.

Ji: Thom: I was going to throw someone out of theirs if I couldn't.

Fahye: Lucifer: you can decorate it as eye-scorchingly badly as you wish

Ji: Thom: *graciously* You don't have to come IN it
think how much he will like Cain
unless he will hate Cain
I cannot decide
perhaps 'think how obsessed he will be with Cain' is the real answer

Fahye: I am trying to imagine Thom and Judas meeting but my brain is weeping

Ji: I don't think there would be much to it ...
Judas is not Thom's type
thin veneer of darkness, lots of ideals
yick
Judas would be intrigued by Thom I think. But it would be sort of a pity thing.

Fahye: Yeah.

Ji: As well as a 'hee! he turns funny colors when you say dirty words!' thing.
Wow, that is probably going to be a big disadvantage in Hell.

Fahye: .........yeah

Ji: eek

Fahye: Lucifer: well when you stop trying to seduce half of my lieutenants, I will buy you some earplugs

Ji: Thom: I AM NOT SEDUCING ANYONE

Fahye: there would be a serious density of power

Ji: it's like a cross between prison and everythingThomlovesatonceland

Fahye: he would get to play at crazy power politics!

Ji: yes!!
and there would be so many sociopaths around!!!

Fahye: secure in the knowledge that a) he is already dead, and b) Lucifer likes him

Ji: why is this not a tv show
the office (hell)

Fahye: HAHAHAHAHA I just gave the most embarrassing snorting laugh

Ji: BUT IT WOULD BE SO HILARIOUS
actually, that improves any show

Fahye: YES

Ji: queer as folk (hell)

Fahye: gossip girl (hell)

Ji: OMG!!!

Fahye: it would be like all of those AT ONCE

Ji: i am dreaming that show already
project runway (hell)

Fahye: slkdasjhbfbkj
thom: WHAT DO YOU MEAN TOO MUCH GREEN

Ji: Tim Gunn is not going to Hell :(
HAAHAHahahaha
"Thom, you are surrounded by PEOPLE ON FIRE"
Thom: Lucifer said I could decorate my office how I wanted >:(

Fahye: hell's next top model?

Ji: omg
yes. yes.
make me a supermodel (hell)

Fahye: I want avatar (hell) only because azula would fit in SO WELL
her: I like the decor. just like home!

Ji: oh god, lucifer and azula. thom and azula
i can't even think about this

Fahye: fjakshjk
Azula is so not Lucifer's type except in the same way that War is. occasional games.

Ji: too bad thom is so gay, azula is exactly his type
yes

Fahye: Thom: fascination...at war with cooties...
the west wing (hell)
!!

Ji: YES
Azula would like hell until she had to be kicked out of it for trying to usurp Lucifer.

Fahye: yes
Lucifer: you can be ambassador to, um, the United States. go have fun. BYE.

Ji: Azula: Did you BANISH me?!
Azula: *WILL NOT BE TREATED LIKE ZUKO*
is there a sub-hell

Fahye: like what?

Ji: I don't know, this is just not going well in terms of placement

Fahye: I think Azula would like being a demon on Earth after a while. Lucifer might need to give her some minions to keep her from bitching
Lucifer: constant threat of mutiny makes things more fun!

Ji: That's true.
It must get boring ALWAYS being uncontestedly all powerful.

So now of course I am rereading the Henry/Thom fic of ultimate crazy mindgames. GUYS, GUYS -- STEPHEN WALTZ/TOM IRWIN, Y/N?

I don't know, but feel like I should, the Thomasine Mystique. Help?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Oh dear :D There is no easy way to explain it, and definitely no way that doesn't make us sound crazy, but...it started with Ji & I playing Thom of Trebond and Lucifer at milliways_bar. And then we cowrote a creepy story (http://mercurial-wit.livejournal.com/37286.html) about Thom at MIT, featuring an OC called Thomas Beech. (And there's a sequel-thing (http://fahye.livejournal.com/488573.html).)

And THEN we got together with nextian and ariastar and merged the world of our characters with that of THEIR original characters, one of whom is also called Thomas (Moore). So the whole kerfuffle ended up being called the Thomasine Mystique because it has two Thomases, a Thom...and Henry. There's a whole lot of random email-fic set in the universe including a very long one about Henry and Thom, but really, it is probably of very limited interest to anyone not-us. If you're really keen, there is a drabble-a-thon here (http://fahye.livejournal.com/549372.html).

See, I should know by now that when something sounds awesome but is completely inexplicable that I should just assume it has its roots in milliways.

Thanks for the links :-)
