“I’m sure it’ll fly by for you too,” Carlos said with a
smile. “That is, if we talk the whole way. Heh! Hey, I’m willing to drive a bit too, if you
get too tired.”

“Really? You sure ya wanna try driving?” A surprised look crossed Hancock’s face at that, he’d warned Carlos about the roads where they were going, but apparently he wasn’t concerned with it–– not yet, anyway. Maybe he’d let him try, at the very least, he might get a good laugh out of it. “Don’t you folks drive on the other side’a the road in America? Hell, ya drive on the other side of the car, heh. Sure you’re up for that? It can be a little freaky.”

Carlos rolled his eyes slightly and looked at Hancock with a
smile. “It won’t be tough to figure out,” he said. “And I’m completely awake,
so it isn’t like I’ll ‘forget’ where I am because of fatigue or something. Also,
I live in Oregon. There are backroads everywhere that aren’t even paved. I
think I can handle it.” He sighed. “Though, if you’re worried about your car, I
guess you can try me out on an easy road first.” Carlos wasn’t really offended –
he knew that plenty of Americans were bad drivers, so there was definitely a
stigma.

Carlos shrugged and nodded. “Yeah – to get anywhere
interesting we have to travel at least that. At least here things are
relatively close together, huh? I’m looking forward to it.” He smiled again.

“Yeah, heh. Seems far for us when we’re drivin’ several hours to get someplace ‘cause everything’s so close together normally, but I guess it really ain’t much when ya look at it compared to what you gotta deal with. Guess this drive’ll probably fly by for you then, huh?”

“I’m sure it’ll fly by for you too,” Carlos said with a
smile. “That is, if we talk the whole way. Heh! Hey, I’m willing to drive a bit too, if you
get too tired.”

“Imfine.”;Percival mumbles. “It’s the truuuuth.”

Carlos just giggled again, deciding to put the drink down
for now to reduce the amount of inappropriate laughing. “Percival, listen to
yourself… you’re using vulgar words.”

Carlos looked at him. “Yeah?” he asked softly. “Well… I’m
sure I will. And hey – I’ll be getting my dad some material to scrapbook with,
so that’s a bonus too.” He smiled at Hancock wider.

“Heh, believe me, you’re gonna be floored by the sights I’m takin’ ya to, there’s nothin’ like it.” Alright, so maybe he was a little biased, but his country was beautiful and he took pride in it. “This drive’s gonna take a couple hours, things aren’t really too close around here–– actually, I guess you’re probably used to that though, yeah? Shit’s real far apart in America, I’m sure.”

Carlos shrugged and nodded. “Yeah – to get anywhere
interesting we have to travel at least that. At least here things are
relatively close together, huh? I’m looking forward to it.” He smiled again.

Send me ‘👤🔀👤’ for our muses to switch bodies for one thread.

Carlos had gone to sleep the night before very tired. He was still very groggy, but as he pushed himself up from the bed he realized something – his bedding was the wrong color. And so were his hands. As he inspected them he realized also that they were the wrong shape. He was the wrong shape. And he discovered that he was missing a leg as well, though the wound had long-since healed from an evidently clean amputation.

He was in a strange house in body not his own. It took a while for Carlos to try and figure out the prosthetic nearby. When it was attached it didn’t feel comfortable at all, so he figured he’d done something wrong. When he caught a glimpse of his reflection in a vanity and soon realized just who he was right then: Percival Graves. Oh boy…

Did that mean Graves was him; as in, did the other man wake up in Carlos’ body? He hoped Graves was awake and they would meet to sort this out soon.

And help with the prosthetic leg.

“More than likely.” The director nods. “So … what exactly was he planning? If he swtiched us, what’s the point? Especially since he seemed to dislike you so much.” He couldn’t think of a reason other than just to create chaos. 

Carlos frowned slightly as he thought. “Give you a hard
time?” he wondered. “I doubt he even knew who I was. Come to think of it… we were surrounded by No-majes.”

“I
know.” He chuckled. “I try not to do it too often. Mostly on my house.”
Percival shrugged when the other talked about being cautious.

“It can. It’s saved me a few times. For others … I’ve accidentally offended people before. “

Carlos shrugged slightly. “Well, knowing that you’re
cautious, I think I’d have a hard time being offended now.”

Percy is in the inbox -thegravemistergraves

First three in my inbox get kisses 1/3

Carlos didn’t usually just go around kissing folks. But he was at least safe in the knowledge that Percival wouldn’t just punch him outright. Maybe.

Carlos gently touched the man’s arm to get his attention, and while Percival was turned toward him Carlos got up on his toes a bit and pressed a gentle – just a touch of the lips – kiss to the Director’s mouth.

@thegravemistergraves

“no…
A little weird. But that’s not a bad thing.” Percival says simply. He
gives a little shrug. The other looked down and Percival wasn’t entirely
sure what to say now.

“And certainly not unpleasant.”

Carlos looked up at him. “Oh… oh, yeah?” he asked. “Well… I’d
still like to forget it anyway. If… only to replace it with a better, um…
encounter. I mean, experience! That’s
the word I mean.” He offered Percival a slight smile. “I mean, if… if you wanna
give it a shot, that is…”

Carlos thought he might have some idea, considering what
Hancock had admitted of his habits… but that was heavy stuff, so obviously he
wasn’t going to mention it. After all, he could be wrong.

“Well, right now, you’re taking a break,” Carlos told him
with a smile. “Going on a road trip with a Yankee.
It’s gonna be loads of fun, right?”

“Heh, I think Yankee is more of an English insult for ya, around these parts we’re rebels too.” He laughed lightly. “It’ll be fun, yeah. If it ain’t, you can yell at me. I’m lookin’ forward to it, it’s been a while since the last time I took a vacation–– actually, I can’t remember the last time I took a real vacation, think it was before my folks died.”

Carlos looked at him. “Yeah?” he asked softly. “Well… I’m
sure I will. And hey – I’ll be getting my dad some material to scrapbook with,
so that’s a bonus too.” He smiled at Hancock wider.

Carlos just smiled and shrugged. “Each to their own – some people
are able to do more, I guess.” He chuckled. “I didn’t expect you to have one. I
was just making a point – you’re clearly a very busy person, and it’s
incredible. I admire it, actually.”

“Really? I dunno, I just uh….” He paused, making a face as he tried to decide how to word what he was about to say. “I have a hard time sitting still, I think. One’a the reasons I got the dog, he keeps me outta the house and out of my head, heh. If I wasn’t working, I’m not really sure what I’d be doing instead, y’know?”

Carlos looked at him, for a second worrying that the other
might be serious. But then he realized that Hancock was just teasing him, and
so he chuckled sheepishly. “Nah, I just… haven’t had time. And I usually don’t
go on dates with people I’ve only met twice before.” Nor did he go on road
trips with those same people, but there they were…

He then smiled at Hancock. “I’m amazed still that you do so
much,” he said. And, presumably, all without a time-turner.”

Well, there went any hopes of that happening. Hancock’s smile faltered slightly, just a brief flicker of disappointment crossing his face as he turned back to the road. “Nowadays, most folks don’t even seem to meet their dates once before goin’ out, but I guess that’s probably more hookup culture, hmm? Can’t say I’m not guilty of jumping the gun a little, heh.”

Clearing his throat, the redhead shook his head and let out a soft chuckle, glancing back to Carlos. “Please, I barely trust myself with a wand, I can’t even imagine the kinds of shit I’d fuck up with a time-turner. I don’t mess with time, not a good idea, mate.”

Carlos just smiled and shrugged. “Each to their own – some people
are able to do more, I guess.” He chuckled. “I didn’t expect you to have one. I
was just making a point – you’re clearly a very busy person, and it’s
