[cowman]

Surely, I am not.

( Speaking of. )

Wynonna, history seems to have repeated itself. During our collective boarding experience.

[middlefinger]

(that...doesn't bode well.)

is this something we should talk about in person?

[cowman]

I think this news is best received away from any sharp objects, and me.

[middlefinger]

...you're scaring me, doc

[cowman]

It seems I turned Raymond Palmer.

[cowman]

I made him like me.

[middlefinger]

like your hell husband? tall, handsome, way too nice for his own good? you turned HIM?

[cowman]

He and I were susceptible to Hell's suggestion. He had come in quite bruised and whipped. I might have offered, half-heartedly. He did not decline the offer.

[middlefinger]

yeah the bruised and hurt part doesn't surprise me -- he did jump in on one of my punishments but still??? you turned him????? hell really has no grasp on consent, does it?

[cowman]

Raymond believed it was consenting. We both did. That is what that lesson did to us. To all of us. I confided in Barbas.

Perhaps, I could maintain a line of communication. He wanted us to learn our lessons. Maybe I did.

[middlefinger]

yeah, because you were brainwahsed into thinking it was

(as much as she hates to admit it, however, one of them keeping close to barbas could be useful, but she also doesn't feel like the network is the most secure place to talk about that in detail)

what lesson did you learn?

1/2

[cowman]

To not eat chocolate in a Casino that appears out of nowhere.

I am saying, Wynonna, I could keep him convinced I've changed. Perhaps, he would provide information.

[cowman]

I did not intend for any of this to happen.

1/2

[middlefinger]

I got that part, I just didn't respond to it in case he's watching these correspondences. but it is smart

[middlefinger]

....and i know, but that doesn't make it sting less

[cowman]

I thought this was our private channel.

[middlefinger]

that assumes he respects such privacies, i don't know he does.

(or maybe she's just feeling a little paranoid, it's hard to know.)

[cowman]

He does not seem the technological type.

[cowman]

I know it stings.

[middlefinger]

even if none of it is stuff you would have chosen for yourself, and i know that, i still don't like you having another immortal spouse

(a new wynonna and john henry right? she's trying to be honest about her feelings instead of just blowing up at him.)

[cowman]

I did not need another immortal spouse. I did not need a spouse.

There is one other thing. Lucifer, in repayment for being freed, would like to free us all. He would like to return us to Alice.

This, he expressed before our world changed over.

[middlefinger]

(it takes her longer to respond this time, and she may have taken a large swig of whiskey before doing so. )

Like to our world -- or to -- to Alice specifically?

[cowman]

Our world. And everyone to theirs. Lucifer claims, I know he only claims, that his God preferred we do our penance in his Hell. There are other Lucifers and other Gods. If Lucifer can be trusted, he wants what we all want. To be out from under his God's thumb.

[middlefinger]

as much as i don't like lucifer, and that's a lot....i've heard that's what he really wants before. and after how god reacted and barbas took over...maybe there's truth to it

[cowman]

Barbas is bombastic, a braggart and a school mark on his best day. I do not believe he has Hell's best in mind.
