Exactly. I came out here to be safe and to have some time with someone. We'd both almost died a bit too often last month.

And now I can't even...

I'm just really tired of this shit.

[made_up_names]

Dude, if you were in town, I'd 100% come to see you. I still want to when you get back. We can watch something dumb and brainless together.

[helpdesk_hero]

I'm in LA.

I'll... try, Peter. I promise. If the world doesn't end, I have a lot of plans.

[made_up_names]

[ Oh right, the apocalypse. On top of everything else ... Peter's a little too fresh off a world that lived through its own apocalypse event to feel anything but numb about it. ]

Sure, yeah. Or if you don't want to, that's fine. I just - I want to help you, if i can.

[helpdesk_hero]

I want to, Peter. I do. It's about figuring out how to make my life work now.

[made_up_names]

There's a lot of smart people here with weird powers. And Obi-Wan Kenobi is, like, the best person to teach mental shielding.

[helpdesk_hero]

Wait, Obi-Wan is literally here? I was being metaphorical.

[made_up_names]

Oh.

Uh - you know what, I don't actually know. Let me check.

[helpdesk_hero]

Well, the one I know isn't from a galaxy far, far away. And apparently can use telekinesis to teleport. I'm so shocked by it, but life.

[made_up_names]

That's amazing and weird at the same time.

[ Also, a moment later: ]

There totally is an Obi-Wan Kenobi here. Which means you have to do the thing.

[helpdesk_hero]

I am NOT sending him a message that he's my only hope!

[made_up_names]

[ Laughing. Just laughing. ]

[helpdesk_hero]

I'm going to stick with the psychic who knows and helped train some Psychometrics before.

[made_up_names]

Okay, okay, I guess that is objectively better.

But total missed opportunity.

[helpdesk_hero]

Not doing it. You do it.

[made_up_names]

It doesn't sound the same if I do it.

[helpdesk_hero]

Sure it does. Nerd.

[made_up_names]

Uh, no it doesn't. Because I have to say "Help David, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're his only hope." Totally different.

[helpdesk_hero]

Get your open problems?

[made_up_names]

No. I wanna save it for a real crisis.

[helpdesk_hero]

Fair enough. And Peter?

Thanks.

[made_up_names]

... 'course. We're friends, right? That means I've got your back, no matter what happens.
