SUBWAYS 4: THE WHITE 2-I-EST

[50shadesofstardom]

IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON.

THE YEAR PASSES. THE EVENTS OF WHITE 2 OCCUR. SUBWAY REMAINS FAIRLY UNINVOLVED AND UNINTERESTING AT THIS POINT.



IT'S THE POSTGAME THAT ROCKS.

[god dammit silver, stop dodging his question!! GOD.]

Huh. It's been what, a year?... [Eh. Not sure if should be offended... or if it's some universe thing.] Come to think of it, when did you even get here?

[THIS WEIRDO UNIVERSE STUFF. BAH.......]

[tsuntrader]

...Today. [...] It's been a year here, but it's been a day or two for me. [WEIRDO UNIVERSE STUFF--!]

[gohome]

That's.... [WH-- THEN-- WAIT, HOW COULD YOU FORGET HIM?!--]

... Are you...

[...]

...Did you get shorter?

[tsuntrader]

[...Shorter?]

...I don't think so.

[gohome]

I'm pretty sure I didn't have to look down this far last time. [ugh, he's getting a headache already.........]

Well, whatever. [SIGH. He gives up. (Sigilyph giggles a little, oddly.)] At least you're in one piece. Welcome back, kid.

[tsuntrader]

[Th...anks...]

Have you seen Ingo and Emmet?

[gohome]

[HGKSJF;SDF SILVER]

Yeah, they're on-duty. Should be back in an hour tops.

[...] You can wait here. You know, without sitting in the closet.

[He's not letting that one go.]

[tsuntrader]

Okay. [NOPE]

[gohome]

[SIGH. WHATEVER.

Cloud puts his new, dry coat on again and goes to sit at the desk. He'll do his work while he's here, but... understandably Silver is more interesting at the moment.]

To only go a couple days and be gone for a year... Guess you missed a bunch, huh. [He twirls his pen around his fingers thoughtfully.] Let's see... you were here when Hilda left... what about Hilbert? --Do you remember them?

[tsuntrader]

...I remember Hilda. [And... Hilbert's face. Mostly.]

[gohome]

Okay, so after that... [...ah.] Eh. Things were pretty uneventful here, after that... though some other kids cropped up to try and take over Hilda and Hilbert's records. Nate, one of the names was... and Rosa.

[...] And Jackie went outside. A little.

[tsuntrader]

[...] Jackie lives here, right? And he's younger and smaller than me.

[gohome]

[Cloud actually laughs at that one. pffffffffffffff oh silver]

That's him. Though... well, you'll find out for yourself. Heh.

[And he'll find out sooner rather than later, because the door's opening again! This time, it's....... ...]

[hikikomanly]

...Silver?





[........some really tall and deeper-voiced guy????]

[tsuntrader]

[... ... ...

...Nope. Looking at Cloud. Who's this guy?]

[hikikomanly]

[.........why is silver a teeny baby....??]

[gohome]

[CHUCKLING AGAIN]

Aren't you going to say hello to Jackie?

[tsuntrader]

You're Jackie? [Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat]

[hikikomanly]

Yeah. [W....what is that face....]

Is... it that weird?

[This is the most dramatic reaction he's ever received!!]

[tsuntrader]

[But... But...

You're so tall...]

[hikikomanly]

[GUESS YOU REALLY DID MISS OUT ON SOME THINGS, HUH.

Jackie's stare remains exactly the same, though, and he eyes Silver critically for a moment.

... ... ... .....]

...You're short.

[tsuntrader]

You're tall.

[hikikomanly]

Yeah. [He can't deny that much.

But... getting taller is normal!] You aren't supposed to get shorter..... are you?

["It's not that bad a change," Cloud comments in the background. "It probably looks worse for you, Jackie, because of your growth spurt."]

[tsuntrader]

I didn't get shorter. I've been this height.

[...Wait.] I'm supposed to be older, aren't I? [Even though he's... Sixteen? No, he's-]

[hikikomanly]

[?? Maybe?]

How old do you think you are?

[this is... confusing..... (CLOUD ALREADY CAME TO THAT CONCLUSION, HE'S DONE BOTHERING)]
