[ persephone manages to not just assume he's going to ask for love advice, but it's hard. ]

OK?
He's cool if that's the question.

[fehus]

[a few minutes later]

oh i know we're friends. sorry was cooking

i meant to add **about your concerts. he said he uses headphones to come, so he doesn't turn into like a big scary demon?

[pummelgranite]

Oh, yeah. They seem to work pretty well unless I'm right up in his face.
You want some?

[fehus]

i don't really have the cash for noise canceling headphones. and i'm not sure they'd work?

it got me thinking about keeping people safe at your concerts, though. not everybody has headphones or alex fierro if shit starts turning sideways.

[he's nervous, sending this text -- it's not really his business, he doesn't want to offend her -- but... he just thinks, it's important, what she's doing. it's important and she should be able to share it safely, with imPorts, who all seemed so fucked up, honestly]

[pummelgranite]

Do you remember the part where I'm wildly successful a rock star? Work things right, and they'll pay me just to have them seen at my shows. Probably. Just need one pair for yourself?

Also no shit.

[fehus]

i promised alex i wouldn't try to go for a while. but i don't mind coming after the shows, if you need help in the med tent or whatever.

maybe you could use that wildly successful rockstar money to hire imPort crowd buddies, though?

[pummelgranite]

I could always use help in the recovery room. You're already hired.

Crowd buddies?

[fehus]

you don't need to pay me.

[sweats. he should have used a cooler term than buddies. now he's here and has to live with it]

yeah, you know. like... the buddy system. except you have a team of buddies?

[pummelgranite]

Legally and morally I actually do.

1:1 assistance? Interesting. Not what I had been thinking before.

[fehus]

? huh

you were thinking about concert safety?

[pummelgranite]

Duh? Did you still not watch the videos with Tefe?

[fehus]

[I watched them like fifty times and then I yelled "fuck you" at Batman]

if i can help prevent people from getting hurt, instead of just healing them after, it'd be a nice change.

and there's no moral/legal crap. i'm nurse chase, etc, i've accepted it. i don't mind.

[pummelgranite]

DO NOT ACCEPT EXPLOITATION OF YOUR TALENTS AND LABOR, FOR FUCKS ENTIRE SAKE
a nice change doesn't put food in your food buckets, or whatever.
I charge for my shows, I charge for my merch. If I see so much as a single glowing hair, your ass is getting fairly compensated. Understood?
Anyway, not every imPort is going to be as cool as you or Tefe, and getting a restraining order against Batman seems like it'd be a pain in the ass.

[fehus]

[whoah]

alex and i don't have food buckets, we have fancy plates. we stole them from the last swear in. and a cool ornate candelabra. we drink OJ out of champagne flutes, it's sort of hilarious.

i won't accept exploitation of my talents and labor and take the money.

how can i help with crowd buddies TM?

[pummelgranite]

Good.

First step is finding imPorts I don't affect, or don't effect much. Know any good candidates?

[fehus]

[thinks about it for a while]

archie andrews. reggie mantle. cisco ramon. hunk. maybe D33, but he wouldn't be interested. this list makes me look like a weird jock with only dude friends but i can't think of a lot of more normal people.

[pummelgranite]

I said GOOD candidates. Would you really want Reggie-fucking-Mantle as your sober companion?

Might have to put up an ad on the network. I'm going to need a lot of intolerable assholes.

[fehus]

i was thinking of people who don't seem particularly invested in the divine nature of reality. also, like, jocks.

are people who can't hear your song usually intolerable assholes?

[pummelgranite]

he's invested in the drunk nature of a party. good lay, bad prospective employee.

let's say they're disproportionately represented. who're the other three?

[fehus]

we don't have to talk about what kind of lay he is? or anyone else is.

[he's trying to suppress the 3some]

[speaking of;]

you don't remember archie? [OUCH] he's got invulnerability powers and he's from the same normal place as reggie. cisco ramon is an engineer/science type that worked for a superhero on the tech side of things, and made me a really amazing shield, and is a nice guy. hunk likes food and also has a degree of invulnerability.

[pummelgranite]

Of course I remember Archie. You're serious about him as a prospect?

[ The other she makes note of to contact later. ]

[fehus]

yeah? should i not be?

he's the kind of person who would do anything to help someone. and he doesn't seem divinely inclined, and he probably wouldn't be able to get hurt.

[magnus chase is an archie andrews fan]

[pummelgranite]

Interesting. I'll have my people get in touch.

[fehus]

i could probably think of more but dinner's ready and we're gonna eat now.

[...]

[yolo]

you should come over for dinner sometime.

[pummelgranite]

why?
