un: eggsy | beats the marauders and lily here js

[tailorable]

[ one million separate messages etc. and plenty of ( ... ) from typing and retyping. ]

hey
is this james potter?
glasses
swoopy hair
?

it's eggsy unwin
i think we met before

un: prongs | uh-oh watch out eggsy that's a challenge you don't wanna make

[heorot]

[ there's....a lot happening. a lot. and james is still trying to filter through it all. but the message comes to him directly at a time where it's....honestly. needed. ]

eggsy unwin
yeah i think we have
munition shipments?
good and bad eggs?

[ yes, he remembers. he remembers everything. ]

[tailorable]

[ relief floods him, even though it shouldn't. their connection was built on false pretenses — only, no, it wasn't. you can't manufacture friendship, even if memories and history were haphazardly reworked and strung together to suit the simulation. meeting harry again and instantaneously vibing proved as much.

no point in playing coy, then. ]

oh thank fuck
mate shit has not gotten more normal since then let me tell you

[heorot]

[ it's....relaxing, in a way. to know that at least this was something that still felt real. that even some kind of quick letters pushed back and forth can still feel the same as that grin, the flash of adrenaline.

part of james wonders if it's fair, really, the way he is almost hungry for it. but it's a welcome feeling compared to the rest of it all. voldemort, sirius, their fates. it's overwhelming - overwhelming in ways james isn't even sure what to do with - so this? this he'll take.

this he'll take ten times over. ]

mate
you have no idea how much i know

guess its good to know your name /is/ still eggsy

[ he doesn't know how to ask about the gun. about the history and kind of careless way eggsy held himself through it all. james was - is - reckless disregard, sure, but the other boy had a kind of practiced air to him. experienced. ]

[tailorable]

wouldn't change it for the world 😉

[ yes, the grin, the irreverent wink, and the thrill. followed shortly by the crash. ]

i'm assuming you haven't got any gaping wounds at least

[ joking. ah, but perhaps he shouldn't be. ]

you really don't have any, do you?

[ given how they parted ways. he recalls stumbling back, unable to process the meaning of the red staining the snow beneath him, whipping his head in search of answers and his partner, knees buckling — james, what about james? ]

un: eggsy | text.

hey james
you figured out if you're going back to olympia or not?

[heorot]

not yet
do you have stronger feelings one way or the other?

[tailorable]

henry prefers olympia

[ so, yes, in a way. ]

most of the english do, actually
i ain't fussy

[heorot]

[ ah, there it is. james would poke fun at that if he wanted to. he still might. ]

olympia it is.
sad as it is
guess we'll find have to find other hobbies beyond dragon hunting???
when are you heading back?

[tailorable]

[ omg james!!! that doesn't mean he's definitely going back (it does).

at least james seems to be open to olympia as well. ]

if a dragon never chases me through the fucking jungle again, it'll still be too soon

[ james bond only ever had to deal with sharks, for fuck's sake. ]

we'll probably go at end of the month
still got some exploring to do
promised i'd show a proper lady around wilds of wvyer, too

[ HE'S JUST SAYIN'. ]

christmas!

[tailorable]

[ on christmas, which james has been cordially invited to enjoy at the spy shack, james will receive a large package containing some cool-ass maroon hiking boots which happen to have a hidden sheath and accompanying dagger in the inner lining of the right boot. Attached is a note short note which reads: Just in case you ever drop your wand. Merry Christmas, James! — Eggsy ]

[heorot]

[ james is coming, that much is certain! he just happens to be heading over a little later in the morning. just long enough, apparently, for eggsy to drop off a gift.

a gift that james will immediately put on and wear to said christmas, because they're perfect and he's probably never taking them off. ]

day after the gala at like... 2pm...

[tailorable]

[ listen, he just woke up. post-james eggsy made Decisions of varying quality. ]

right so what happened jazza
do i need to come over??
i feel like shit so will be slow but
working on it now

[heorot]

[ well to be fair, post-eggsy james also made some questionable decisions. though those questionable decisions possibly involved simply offended eggsy’s friends. ]

nothing important
it was late in the night and shit bothered me
rather than bringing it down i just bolted
how’re you doin tho mate????
what happened???

[tailorable]

as long as you’re alright

[ even if!! he doesn’t really believe it!! ]

oh y’know started getting pissed in time to meet margaery’s brother
found out margaery’s maybe still married to a LORD, then stuck my foot right in it and asked about his surprise dead lover
pulled some bloke who went to eton who i’m pretty sure is like eighteen
got absolutely legless
woke up ten minutes ago
and now i feel like i’m dying

[heorot]

holy shite

[heorot]

1/2

[tailorable]

thank you for that james
every compliment helps bring my confidence back

un: beatrix

[fiendennor]

I realized I never asked you before. What is the source of your magic? You don't have anything like Yggdrasil or the Sorcerer Stones, from what I've gathered.

un: beatrix

[heorot]

yeah no there's no like
physical source of it
its more like we can access an energy that's already there???

[fiendennor]

That's very interesting.
And there's been no research into where it comes from and why it exists?

un: eggsy

[tailorable]

Oi, James! What's your status?

[ given the new arrivals, the sudden turn towards disliking the refugees, etc etc. ]

[heorot]

Thinking about taking a vacation, to be honest.

[ the last thing he needs is a reminder of how depressed he is, and a somber and subdued holiday? not really on his agenda. even if there's a part of him that wonders if it wouldn't be a bad idea to pay the palace gardens a visit. ]

Why- there something I should be more worried about?

[ considering eggsy is a little more in tune with the way the city works. ]

[tailorable]

[ lightly — ] Nothing besides your continued unemployment, bruv.

[ the shade of it all. ]

Did I tell you I've changed careers, by the by? I'm a guardsman now.

[heorot]

[ WOW. OUCH, EGGSY. let him live!!!! ]

So nothing new.

[ listen, he is aware and he's not really....motivated to change it. yet? at all? who even knows. ]

Oh? [ vague curiosity? ] An' what were you before?
