Things can only get better now.

I keep saying that, myself.

[musical_rocker]

Me too, but the truth is they have too. Things can't get any worse.

[onthe_threshold]

Yes they can.

[musical_rocker]

How can they get worse?

[onthe_threshold]

We could be killed?

[musical_rocker]

You make it sound like death is a bad thing. It's not always.

[onthe_threshold]

Unless you've died I'm not sure you get to say that.

[musical_rocker]

... I get to say it.

[onthe_threshold]

Fair enough.

It could still get worse. Maybe not for you.

[musical_rocker]

Should think positive

[onthe_threshold]

...positive?!

[musical_rocker]

Yeah, like things are going to be okay and not so bad.

[onthe_threshold]

Yeah, considering the month I've had so far? No. I'm going to stick with stubborn realism.

...what's so horrible for you, anyway?

[hard_luck_tour]

Guess saying hi, now, would get my ass kicked.

[musical_rocker]

[just stares open mouthed]

[hard_luck_tour]

Hi, baby.

[musical_rocker]

[rubs the back of his neck] Eothian?

[hard_luck_tour]

Yup, that’d be me. I’m a real boy like Pinocchio or something.

[musical_rocker]

As if the world didn't hate me enough. [softly] What are you doing here?

[hard_luck_tour]

Baby, don’t hit me with those negative vibes so early.
Ah, yeah, I think we have got to talk. Mostly about Eban, and uhm, stuff.

[musical_rocker]

I'm sorry, do you want me to be jumping for joy that you're here? You being back, as great as it is, you shouldn't be here so something's fucked up.

What about dad? And if you're going to lecture me about your brother, don't bother.

[hard_luck_tour]

Yeah, fucked up is an understatement. And you'll have to tell me which brother. You can save the jumping for joy for later, we’ve got a problem.

Look, the cliff notes version is, Eban got hit by the Fae. They took Bella. The captain and me had to save Eban… still with me? Well the shit has hit the fan big time; you need to be home.

[musical_rocker]

The one I married...

[He tensed at the mention of his father being hurt, but at his daughter being taken anger flashed in his eyes and before Eothian could say another thing, Albert vanished]

[hard_luck_tour]

Man, I really, really, hate when they do that.

[Follows him.]

[musical_rocker]

[Not as much as he hates blasts from the past turning up]
