New CH episodes have made me officially decide to stop caring about the actual cast of the show </3 (/hj but i wish it was /j)

Anyway would you like to share some of your headcanons/scenarios for the side/minor characters ? It always makes my day 💚💖(/nf)

dude i feel you on these new episodes. wtf is going on over there. anyways, i’ll gladly dump this 10 ton stack of headcanons on you that i wrote down!! Marie Antoinette: 

loves hyperpop and 90s house music. she’s so slay (i have a playlist lol)

into european weirdo cinema like Gaspar Noe’s but she also likes chick flicks (her fave films are Climax (2018), Daisies (1966), and But I’m A Cheerleader (1999).)

frequents on lolita forums and goes to really shady places just to get cute lolita items.

has absolutely mastered voguing. super into ballroom culture.

has a pet borzoi (those groovy long-nosed dogs.) her name is “Vanille” and Marie loves her dearly.

wants to study fashion. she especially loves Vivienne Westwood and Moschino.

Jesús Cristo:

is a juggalo, and he indoctrinated Van Gogh into it as well.

says “it is what it is” at any minor inconvenience.

had a mental crisis at 13 as a product to the stress of living up to his clone father. similar to joan’s breakdown in s1e3 but 10x worse. he tries to ignore it when people bring it up.

designated driver on any road trip. for some reason.

into bands like The Cure whilst also bopping to Cypress Hill.

his fave video game is Parappa the Rapper.

accidentally punching holes/nails into his hand is a common occurrence. seems like it just keeps happening, so he’s learned to just roll with it. he’s also a pretty good nurse bc of it.

Marilyn Monroe:

is always down for the school play. BUT she usually just does script-writing and tech. 

into conspiracy theories and video essays. (all gorgeous gorgeous girls love video essays).

is a dedicated Britney Spears and Gwen Stefani stan.

SO “COQUETTE LIZZY GRANT DIOR RETRO” in her fashion choice.

she also gives “elle woods from legally blonde” vibes. straight A student right here.

CERTIFIED GIRLBOSS <3

Thomas Edison:

is obsessed with American Psycho (2000). he has a poster in his room and he’s weirdly obsessed with Christian Bale (very 🍎🍉🍊 of him, but he always excuses it with “oh no, i just idolize and worship him. there’s absolutely nothing gay ab it.” he’s lying.)

also he’s SUCH a pretentious film bro. he has a whole library of stupid film facts shoved in the back of his mind (im totally not projecting).

he only listens to: 80s new-wave stuff like New Order, Oingo Boingo, Beastie Boys, & Talking Heads OR Lana del Rey. There is no in between.

he worked (past-tense bc that shit is GONE in 2023) at a blockbuster video store next to the mall and he liked being a total bitch to people about it (example: “you really rented this shit? this movie sucks, dude”)

after getting unfreezed, he was ECSTATIC over how easy pirating movies is nowadays.

Napoleon Bonaparte:

member of the speech/debate club and he is THE WORST TO BE PAIRED WITH. he’s foaming at the mouth the moment someone gives a rebuttal he didn’t think of. some meetings end in him trying to beat up someone. 

into 80s rock like Metallica and Black Sabbath. he has an electric guitar. he also FUCKING LOVES ABBA AND JAMIROQUAI. like… too much.

unlawfully good at Just Dance. he absolutely fucks it up on the dance floor.

adores fantasy films like Conan (1982) and The Never-Ending Story(1984). he’s so lame/ pos.

he bakes really well. that’s all he’s got going for him.

he either found his napoleonic military uniform at party city or at a thrift store with Marie Antoinette; his story changes depending on who he’s talking to.

he cut his own hair when he was 14. the following conversation after he did so was with caesar, and it was just the haircut scene from fleabag . he then continued to keep his stupid haircut to what it is now.

is a hopeless romantic. he can make up entire love poems & sonnets in his head about a girl he’s crushing on, but literally cannot talk to people without sounding like a douchebag unless he’s super comfortable w/ them.

Ivan the Terrible:

is an avid deftones, sewerslvt, & duster listener (i, unfortunately, ALSO have a playlist.)

spends his nights scrolling on 4chan and arguing w/ people. him & topher have accidentally argued w/ each other AT LEAST 5 times.

literally refuses to take off his ushanka in any weather. it doesn’t matter to him if it’s 90 degrees, that thing is staying ON.

kins Travis Bickle and Shinji Ikari. i mean, just look at this dude and how he presents himself. average NGE & Taxi Driver enjoyer/ hj.

fave video games are Postal 2 and osu!. he plays osu! phenomenally, to the point where it’s impressive. (pls put that energy into a job or something).

and yea that’s all the energy i have to write this down :]

[churb]

honestly clone high doesnt even count as RPF because... they're. they're clones. that's the point. it's not like hamilton where its expected to have historical accuracies, being based off a real life person and his story (casting and music aside, of course). it's... they're clones. This is like saying that the Fate/stay series is RPF because it has characters like Thomas Edison in it (who's a mecha furry). They are not the same.

Yea! Also... Mecha furry? Ok. Like. Anime why.

But yea, they’re not *exactly* the same person. There’s little to no accuracy. It’s... A grey line I feel leans more towards ‘This is not RPF’.

I'm honestly a bit P.O'd at Disney that out of all the interesting bits of Legends Jedi worldbuilding they decided to keep 'by the way Yoda's eats his stick and gets high'. I get it's hilarious, don't get me wrong, but... ah here we go again, some species *cough* non-humanoid ones *cough* are ~primitive~ and get high on bark for pain relief even when some of the galaxy's best medical resources are at their disposal. It also used to be Legends canon that [1/2]

the Jedi had skilled enough Healers that some Civilians who would have died otherwise were granted access to the Temple medbay for treatment. Noope, Grandpa was high all along! Technology is bad, fire is scary, Thomas Edison was a witch etc. I’m sorry, I’m not upset at you at all, just really annoyed at Disney for playing things like the canonically most Force-powerful being in the galaxy’s physical health for laughs. As an autistic person, I’m tired of ‘odd’ characters being written like that.

I can’t speak on behalf ‘odd’ characters and the connection to autism, so hopefully this doesn’t come across like I’m trying to step into that arena or step on your toes!  All I can comment on is the way it came across to me and the content of the way it’s put together!  And this is a good chance to talk about what “canon” is, as that’s been on my mind for a bit again.- In the back of the book, it has a disclaimer (which I didn’t think to look for until now, admittedly):

So, I don’t think you can count on something that only appears in a guide book (instead of in an actual story), it’s nebulous at BEST.  This is also contrasted against how, if you read the pages, they are very pro-Yoda, there’s a lot of talk about how he’s the wisest and best Jedi just about ever, how he’s incredibly valued.  This wasn’t about HA HA THE LITTLE ALIEN ONE IS WEIRD AND DUMB, but instead I think it was meant more of a “this is part of Yoda’s spiritual connection to the Force”, because it’s contrasted against how good the book thinks Yoda is.At the same time, I think this is a good jumping off point to talk about Legends and what “canon” versus “never was canon” mean and why it’s not a bad thing or even why “canon” doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily good. George Lucas had mentioned several times that he didn’t really read the novels and other Legends stuff, it was never canon to his Star Wars world.  We’ve seen him take in elements from the comics or what have you, but he was never, ever beholden to them.  Dave Filoni also had this to say:

A lot of people tend to take this as a value judgement, that “canon” is the only worthwhile measuring stick, but it’s really not.  Some Legends stuff was absolute crap and was Bad At Star Wars, some of it was absolutely amazing and nothing of the Disney canon has ever reached those beautiful heights again.  But it’s not canon, and what does that mean?  It means it doesn’t have to be taken into account by other authors.This is why Legends was never canon, because George did not have to take those things into consideration.  For example, that bullshit idea of the Jedi kicking initiates out when they were 13 was explicitly contradicted by The Clone Wars, when Ahsoka was 14 and was considered way young, like potentially not even old enough at all, when Caleb was 13 and was considered even more way young.  There was a (NON-CANON AS WELL, but the point is that there was room for it) TCW-based Legends book that had a 17 year old Initiate who was still totally able to be a Padawan and it wasn’t like they were panicking about aging out.  George did not have to take that into account.In contrast, I remember hearing that George once said that he disliked those magnaguard staffs, that nothing should be able to stop a lightsaber, it made them less cool, but, well, he’d put it in the movie, so now he had to live with it.  That’s what canon is–he had to take it into consideration because it was canon, even if he didn’t think the value of it was very high.So when I read something like “Ha ha! Yoda chewed on his gimer stick to get high!” (and, honestly, it doesn’t actually say that, it just said that it’s a substance that helps him meditate and, honestly, anything could help him meditate, PLAIN TEA probably helps him meditate!), in a book that already says it uses Legends info, I’m not inclined to think that it’s 100% hardcore being recanonized.  It’s not in a story somewhere, it’s from someone who was trying to fill up a book full of little details and interesting things, from someone who was probably deeply steeped in Legends stuff and so reached for that automatically.And it’s contrasted against how we see the Jedi, who are a blend of spiritual and technological.  They balance aspects that are mystical, they balance things that would get them in touch with the Force, with how Yoda goes around on a hoverchair in AOTC or how they wield super advanced plasma chainsaws.  They balance their trips to a magical cave on an ice planet with the star ships they pilot.  They balance wanting to be as close to the natural eddies and paths of the Force with how they have very advanced technology.  We see Yoda in the Jedi Halls of Healing during TCW, we see him absolutely getting advanced care of the GFFA, when Rig Nema is taking care of him.  (And, frankly, I don’t recall any instance of him chewing on the cane in the canon, so I’m further not inclined to take it as hardcore canon, more like “I wouldn’t be surprised if this gets referenced at some point, but that it’s one detail among many.”!)I don’t think it has to be one or the other, it’s like how anyone is–sometimes you use advanced things, sometimes you use more simple things! It’s like how I could take a more advanced medication for some things, but sometimes I grab a handful of berries that will achieve the same effect, like lowering blood sugar or providing antioxidants!  (And the stuff about Yoda getting high to deal with the Jinn/Kenobi/Skywalker lineage is just more of our LEGO Star Wars-style humor, which isn’t meant to be taken seriously, even if it does occasionally veer into taken-seriously territory with things like how Yoda’s old and probably in a lot of pain, like older people are.)

#yoda #canon #legends #depabillabaa #i really don't want this to come across as trying to step on your toes or anything! #i'm just trying to explain how it came across to me #especially since i was pulling that part out of bigger context because i didn't want to quote the entire thing XD #i'm sorry that you're going through this though and i can see where you're coming from as a greater trend in media especially!!

Why America: The Motion Picture’s One Rule Was “No Research”

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This article contains light spoilers for America: The Motion Picture.

Director Matt Thompson has been in the adult animated comedy game for a long time. Thompson was around for the dawn of Adult Swim in 2001 when the programming block hosted Sealab 2021, the series he created alongside frequent collaborator Adam Reed. Reed and Thompson would go on to produce several other animated classics including Frisky Dingo and Archer (which is set to premiere its 12th season later this year).

Still, when it came time to direct his first feature animated film, Netflix’s America: The Motion Picture, the seasoned vet realized that movies are a unique beast. 

“(With films) you get a lot more time to sit and try to make things funnier, to make more jokes,” Thompson says. “When you’re on a very tight deadline of episodic television, you kind of have to kick stuff out and move forward.”

America: The Motion Picture is an ambitious undertaking for any director. The film, which comes from a script penned by Dave Callaham (Wonder Woman 1984, Mortal Kombat), is a very, very, very, very loose retelling of America’s founding myth. In Callaham and Thompson’s version of history, George Washington (Channing Tatum) and Abraham Lincoln (Will Forte) aren’t only contemporaries: they’re bros. Paul Revere (Bobby Moynihan) is a horse-obsessed man-child. Thomas Edison (Olivia Munn) is a Chinese-American woman sorcerer of science. And Benedict Arnold (Andy Samberg)? Well, he’s just a real piece of work.

The end goal was to present a version of the country’s founding that could have sprung from its, let’s say, underfunded public education system. Who was Sam Adams (Jason Mantzoukas) again? We know he had something to do with beer. Why did Washington cross the Delaware? Was it to get to the other side? No, that can’t be right. 

“There are all these little things that are ‘correct adjacent’,” Thompson says.

We spoke with Thompson about America: The Motion Picture’s many anachronisms and what it meant to say goodbye to an old friend on Archer.

Den of Geek: I’m not necessarily the most learned student of American or British history. But was there a reason you went with “King James” as opposed to King George III?

Matt Thompson: Yes, very much so. The writer of the movie, Dave Callahan, had one rule: no research. Because that’s what America is. We’re all undereducated. And we don’t even know enough about our own country. I guarantee you that the lion’s share of people who watch this film will not question that fact. King James is kind of in the lexicon already because of LeBron James. You also don’t want King George to fight George (Washington), which is a little bit confusing on its face. What do you think is the amount of people that are going to catch that?

I don’t know. I probably wouldn’t have caught it if it weren’t for Hamilton.

Yes, agreed. But it was definitely King George. Another thing is, in (real) American history before George Washington gave up the mantle of president, there was a lot of concern with the original colonies that he would declare himself king. There’s a scene in the movie where George meets Samuel Adams, the inventor of beer, and he introduces himself as the future King of America. That is a little small nod to people’s concerns at the time for George Washington.

That was a weird thing for me to be pedantic about, because you just mentioned Sam Adams is the inventor of beer in this.

You are right there. There are all these little things that are “correct adjacent” like Sam Adams, the inventor of beer, you can extrapolate there. The opening scene in Ford’s theater – Lincoln does die there, it’s just that his throat is bitten off by a werewolf instead of a bullet from an assassin. That same assassin is actually John Wilkes Merch Booth, who is running the merchandising booth at the play that they’re attending as a small nod.

You mentioned Abraham Lincoln. While he doesn’t have a very prominent part, what was it like to get Will Forte back in his iconic Clone High role?

That’s another great thing working with (Phil) Lord and (Christopher) Miller, right? Like “hey, you think you can get Will Forte as Lincoln?” I’ve never worked with Will before but he came in and man, he just crushed that. We actually added that dream scene later on because we wanted to see Lincoln again. Will has played Lincoln for Lord and Miller I think three or four times now. He’s also Lincoln in one of the Lego movies.

That’s amazing. I can’t wait for Lincoln in a Spider-Verse movie.

That would be awesome. The whole cast was amazing. Every single one of the cast just brought something unique and different to their roles. I’ve been doing this job of casting comedic roles for 20 years now and I haven’t seen anybody create as much comedy on their feet as Jason Mantzoukas. The guy is just a torrent of comedy. It’s amazing to watch somebody like that. 

Somebody in the cast who stood out to me in particular was Andy Samberg. He really goes for it as werewolf Benedict Arnold. What was it like to take in that performance? Were your notes always “bigger, bigger, bigger?”

Andy came in with an idea of how he wanted him to sound and he did it perfectly from take one. It was amazing to see somebody do it exactly like you had in your head without actually even asking about it. When people see the movie, a lot of them don’t realize that that’s Andy, because he put it on so well. When you’re directing people who are able to create comedy at such a high level, you kind of just try to hold onto your chair and keep up with them and rewrite as you go. The most fun part of this job, not just for this movie but for everything I do, is sitting with the world’s funniest people and hearing what comes out of their mouth.

I want to ask about the last scene, where characters address America’s original sins in rapid-fire succession, because it seems like it ties the whole thing together. Did you feel like the ending was crucial to the movie?

The ending was extremely important to me and the whole movie is building up to it in a way. To some degree we wanted to make sure that we’re at least attempting to hold everybody accountable and to hold ourselves accountable for all the different problems that we have right now. To do that over the course of the previous 85 minutes, I felt it would grind the story to a halt comedically. I wanted to keep us moving: quick pace, jokes, gags, having fun, turning the brain off, and just enjoying a beer while watching a movie. But that scene is extremely important to the point of the whole movie and the small amount to which we are trying to to hold us accountable for our past.

What did you learn from directing your first feature film? How was it different from your usual experience?

It’s extremely different and I was not under the impression that it would be. I’ve been making adult comedy cartoons for 20 years. I started with the original Adult Swim, the very first year that Adult Swim was on. I’ve been doing this form of this adult cartoon comedy for a long time. And making a movie is incredibly different than making a 15-minute or a 22 or 30-minute show. (With films) you get a lot more time to sit and try to make things funnier, to make more jokes. When you’re on a very tight deadline of episodic television, you kind of have to kick stuff out and move forward. 

With this process, I got to record with all these wonderful, extremely funny people, multiple, multiple, multiple times, and keep reworking the script because we’ve been in the process of making this movie for three years. As opposed to an episode of television, I usually kick that out in three months. Just having that ability of time was one thing. Secondarily, I’ve learned a ton from Lord and Miller. They’re very adamant about characters having heart and relatability and making it so that you want to root for them. If you’re going to invest 90 minutes in something, you better come out thinking that was time well-spent.

Finally, how are things going on Archer season 12?

It’s going great. We’re still all at home working from the pandemic; we have not come back to the office yet. It’s been a logistical challenge but luckily everybody’s working safely, and gainfully employed. We’re extremely thankful for that. The biggest challenge for this season of Archer is just how we are dealing with the character of Malory and Jessica Walter’s passing.

I’m so sorry for your loss. She was an absolute titan.

I’m so sorry for all of our losses. She was a true original, an amazing person. I’m actually starting to tear up just thinking about her. I miss her dearly every day.

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

America: The Motion Picture is available to stream on Netflix now. Archer season 12 will premiere Wednesday, August 25 at 10 p.m. ET on FXX.

Chapter 4

Thomas had been reduced to a nail-biting, hair pulling mess by the time he was able to use the car to drive to South Carolina.

Okay, so he could maybe, maybe rationalize the existence of one person, maybe two people that looked like him.

But three other people?

Maybe Joan was right. Maybe he was going crazy. Maybe he should get help.

Thomas’s knuckles were white on the wheel as he pulled into the guest parking lot in front of the university Logan worked at. He sat there for a long minute. Just… breathing.

He couldn’t panic. He needed to figure this out rationally and running off like he did a few days ago was not going to get him any answers. He drove the seven or so hours out here and now he just needed to find Logan. Which reminded him, how exactly was he going to do that? Logan hadn’t set up a place for them to meet. He supposed he could figure out where the science area of the school was and start there?

Grumbling under his breath, Thomas opened the door and stepped out into the day. He walked toward a map beneath some large trees, hands in his pockets. He was suddenly self-conscious as he entered a small crowd of walking students. The students laughed and studied and listened to headphones and some unfortunate soul was sleeping in a corner, and it was all so… normal.

Thomas had never felt so completely disconnected in his life.

It didn’t take long to find the building he needed, and on his way over, he took out the phone he was borrowing from his brother and texted Logan quickly. As usual, the message didn’t go through. Well, fine.

Thomas pushed through the swinging glass doors and walked down the hallway past groups of semi-panicking students. He waited for the hallway to clear a bit before continuing on, hoodie over his head.

“Hey, do you know where Professor Edison’s office is?” he asked a girl.

She frowned at him. “Uh, wow. I… are you related to him?”

“Cousin.”

The girl nodded. “Yeah. He’s in a lecture now, though. I just passed by. Room 221.”

“Thanks.” He was a bit early, then.

Thomas kept going, head down. There were remarkably few people that recognized him, which he was grateful for even if he didn’t quite understand it. 219, 220, 221. There.

He stood on his tiptoes to look through the window in the door. The lecture hall was large and shadowed and circular like a mini arena. Down there at a podium stood a young man with a laser pointer. Above him, the slideshow displayed what appeared to be a detailed drawing of an atom? The lecturer gestured simply at it, his eyes lit up with excitement. He was wearing glasses just like the other one had been, (Patton, wasn’t it?) but while the glasses had made Patton look almost childish, they gave Logan a look of intellectual superiority. He was wearing a sharp button-down and tie that Thomas wouldn’t be caught dead in, and it suddenly made sense why people were not immediately recognizing him. Logan carried himself like an adult. The teacher. And Thomas most definitely did not. He decided he’d think about that later as he eased open the door and sank into a seat. He’d hoped to come in completely unnoticed, but Logan glanced up at the door and his speech faltered. A flicker of something passed through his eyes, and Thomas gave him a tight smile.

“A-as I was saying,” He fixed his glasses. “if we reverse the polarity of the neutron flow…”

Thomas didn’t hear much of the rest of his lecture. Although, admittedly, Logan was not too bad of a teacher. He seemed stern, but he was willing and enthusiastic when students asked questions, which Thomas wouldn’t have expected. It felt like a matter of minutes until Logan’s lecture ended. Students zipped up their backpacks, put on coats, and filed out of the lecture hall. Thomas went with them. It was easier than going against the flow or the crowd.

He exited into the hallway and waited, arms crossed. He checked his watch. Logan should be coming out any second now… Sighing, Thomas walked up and down the hall boredly. He was jittery and anxious and he just wanted answers.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed his arm. He yelped as the person pulled him back. Into a maintenance closet.

The door clicked shut and Thomas was chest to chest with a complete stranger.

The other person stepped back. “What do you think you’re doing?” he hissed.

“Finding you! You said-”

“I know I said-” He growled and reached up to pull on a string. A small light bulb popped on and Logan was standing there glaring at him. “I have a life that I have built here and I do not need some idiot rushing around ruining everything. Did anyone see you?” Thomas opened his mouth to protest, but Logan kept on. “Of course people saw you. You could be putting all of us in jeopardy with this foolhardy behavior!”

Thomas crossed his arms. The top of a mop was jabbing into his side and he struggled to keep his balance. “Look, I just want answers okay? Can we talk somewhere that isn’t a broom closet?”

Logan considered his.

He shook his head. “No. No, we cannot be seen together here.”

What was his problem? Why was he so freaked out? So there were a few people that looked alike, big deal. Logan wasn’t acting like it was a little thing, however. WHY?

Logan chewed his lip, and his eyes glazed as he thought about something. “Yes. Okay, so there is not an easy way to say this. So I will simply state it.”

Thomas cocked his head. “Okay?”

“You and I are clones along with the others.”

Thomas blinked.

What?

He snickered. “Yeah, funny. I didn’t take you as the practical joke guy. Now, what’s the deal? What was it, quadruplets? I didn’t even know that was a thing.”

“If this is all, it would be quintuplets, actually,” Logan said. “Roman is also one of us.”

Thomas’s mind skipped a few tracks before he forced himself to just accept that. “Five. Five kids.”

“Yes, or we would be if we were born normally. But we were not. I have done the tests and the signs are quite obvious when you are looking for them. For one, we are not all exactly the same age, in fact, there are several month gaps between all of us. Also, there is a genetic signature which simply does not exist in nature. I could say more, but I imagine there is little likelihood of you believing me and I honestly do not have the time. So, if you don’t mind-” He reached for the door but Thomas grabbed his wrist.

“Hey, wait. You can’t just say that and then walk off.”

“Can’t I? I think I am. Right now.” He pulled away from Thomas and started opening the door.

“If you walk out, I’ll follow you.”

That stopped him.

“You must understand, we cannot be seen together. There are people who would…”

Thomas waited. “What? People, who would what?”

Logan pursed his lips, his voice low. “It is sufficient to say that we have disappeared before. Woken up without memory of where we were. When Virgil disappeared, we all assumed he had been... taken. We had found microphones on our phones, in our houses. People were watching us. Studying us. We relocated and thought we had them off of our backs until Virgil disappeared.”

Thomas could feel the blood draining from his face.

The process of cloning is actually quite simple, someone had told him once. They do it to animals all the time.

No. He wasn’t actually considering this. But Logan was making sense. Too much sense.

Breathe, Thomas.

“If you ever feel like someone is following you, leave as quickly as possible. I have…” He dug out of his pocket an old flip phone. “Here. Use this to contact us. We have ensured that it isn’t tapped. If anyone calls you, it is one of us. I am… apologetic that this is how things are, but this is how it is. Now, if you have an ounce of sense, you will leave and never contact any of us for your own safety.”

Thomas took the phone dully. He couldn’t think. Every thought was whizzing around too quickly for him to grab hold of.

Logan narrowed his eyes. “Are you alright?”

“Just reevaluating my existence, you know,” Thomas laughed even though nothing was funny. He was dizzy and nauseous but, yeah, whatever.

“I… I have parents. I have a brother. I’m not…”

Logan raised an eyebrow skeptically. “There is a high probability you were adopted.”

And there was another pang right there in his gut. Would his parents really lie to him like that?

Yes.

“I need… air.” Thomas opened the door, and Logan stayed inside the closet, arms crossed. “T-Thanks for the phone, I guess.” Thomas swallowed dryly. OutsideIneedtogetoutside.

He turned to walk away, but Logan grabbed his arm. Thomas looked back, surprised. Something had unexpectedly softened in Logan’s eyes. His shoulders slumped, and he suddenly looked very old and very tired. “I apologize for my bluntness. The search for Virgil has had all of us at our wit's end and… I am grateful that you found him.”

Thomas nodded. “Okay.”

Logan debated inwardly before coming to a decision. “Against my better judgment, I imagine this is difficult for you. You ought to have an official introduction. Perhaps… a meeting between us all can be arranged.”

The thought had Thomas wanting to panic immediately, but he found himself nodding. “I would appreciate that.” He didn’t believe him. Not a chance. But he still wanted to meet the others.

“Good.” Logan glanced out at the hallway. It was still empty. “I will speak to the others and text you the address and time. It will be within the next few days in all probability.”

A meeting. He could… he could do a meeting. Thomas nodded again and Logan let go of him. His, what was he, a brother? His brother fixed his glasses and loosened his tie slightly. “Thank you,” Thomas said.

“You are welcome.”
