[video/action]

[Looks like you're back to having young Mr. D'Amico back amongst your ranks. Aren't you glad? he looks very distraught, and it's clear when he's talking that he's having trouble forming his thoughts.]

What the fuck even happened? I-- How was it that I was here from the future but... I remember it! I fucking remember everything, I remember the things I said! How does that even work? How is that possible? I-- [He quickly rubs face with a hand, trying to regain composure.] I didn't wanna know how fucked I was gonna be ahead of time. Goddamn you Initiative fuckheads.

[The video snaps off quickly after this. Housemates will find him storming out of the house quickly. Guess where he's heading! Yep, to a bar. But he won't be having a good time or stirring up trouble like usual. He'll be sitting alone on a stool, several empty glasses on the bar in front of him, looking unusually gloomy. Care to approach?]

[That makes Murphy laugh.]

Because they have a helluva lot of say in what we do here considerin' the shit they drop us in.

[The tender returns with Murphy's fresh drink.]

I saw what happens AFTER. I don't get to die like any normal person would.

[He knocks back the drink without much thought. Why had they picked him? Why did he have to die and come back as that thing?

No. That is selfish. He wouldn't wish his fate on anyone. It is all wrong no matter how a person looks at it. Still, if OCP and Bob Morton had wanted a super-soldier so badly why hadn't one of them stepped up? Oh, right - he had already answered that question.

NO ONE WANTED THAT KIND OF FATE.]


You seem fine to me. Can't see why they wouldn't want to turn a buck.
robomurphy: (WTF you smokin'? by me)

Sounds pleasant.

[All the deadpan ever. He knows a little something about being hunted down. He can still hear the gunfire that was rained down upon him by his fellow officers - of Clearance Boddicker and his gang tracking him down.]

Make him - ?

[He watches as the scene plays out and then raises an eyebrow.]

I'd ask how you did that but I'm not sure I wanna know.

[Murphy shrugs and goes back to his own drink. He isn't one for pushing a point or pushing people.]

We got something in common, then. I was hoping I wouldn't be dead. That I had somehow managed to survive. I didn't. [a long pause] Well, at least not in a way I wanted to.

[The cop glances down at his hand - flesh and blood and bone. He flexes his fingers, remembering how it felt to not feel - when everything was metal and cables and wires.]

Even if I go back, I'm dead. It doesn't matter.

[Murphy says nothing but reaches over and places a hand on the younger man's shoulder. Maybe he didn't know anything about this guy but the pain he felt was something Murphy could understand. The cop doesn't flinch at Johnny's odd appearance even now. How could he? He knew what an abomination he would come to look like so he isn't in any position to judge or question another's appearance. It doesn't hurt, though, that he's not really looking at Johnny - he is staring into his glass.]
robomurphy: (Please tell me you're not serious)

[Murphy gives a shrug as he takes back his hand.]

I've been wondering the same thing. Sad conclusion I've come to is that we probably won't know until they decide to tell us.

Name's Murphy, by the way.
robomurphy: (And you brought me this bullshit why?)

Nice to meet ya, Johnny, and, yeah, I noticed that.

[Murphy raises an eyebrow at Johnny's eye.]

I'm gonna go with you not being entirely human.

[Considering what he has seen and done both in his world and in this one, the observation shouldn't come as a surprise. Also, he a little drunk himself and more prone to saying whatever he thinks.]

'Incubus'?

[It takes a moment for Murphy to realize what that means and when he does the thing with bartender suddenly makes sense.]

And, suddenly, Catholic schooling comes in handy. [beat] Don't try to sleep with me and we'll be good.

[Dry sense of humor, Johnny. Don't get too annoyed.]

If it makes you feel any better, I end up being slaughtered by a gang only to resurrected as a machine with parts of a human brain. Part machine - part human - and sold as a product.

Detroit, Michigan - as run by a corporation called Omni Consumer Products. I got to be a lab rat.

[He takes a moment to scowl into his glass before continuing.]

Lucky me. I get to be immortal.
