[It hits him that he's not thinking about any of these things. Letting your subconscious trip you up isn't something he's allowed too much in the last few decades, primarily out of practice when sleeping was actually possible.

The thing that makes Ford flinch isn't the room of the Fearamid but the bolt of lightning. He jerks and raises his hands up to his head on sheer impulse, and his stomach drops when his memories summon blue chains that dangle above him from the shadows.

Ford stumbles back away from them.

He's here. He's here!

Bill can't read Ford's mind, but he wouldn't have to in order to see the fear and anger in Ford's eyes.

Took long enough for him to figure it out.]

--It's frustrating isn't it? This is as close to my mind as you're going to get!

[He's here... He... oh God...]

[ghflskhu_ph]

"AHAHAHA--"

[Bill's eye narrows. Oh Stanford, he both loves and HATES that stubborn streak of yours]

"OH-- are you actually addressing ME this time? Or is this some sort of SICK FANTASY of yours?"

[Could go either way, really.]

"Maybe not right now, but with HOW EASY you make it for me to SNEAK INTO YOUR SLUMBERING CONSCIOUS, I wouldn't go WRITING home about it!"

[mviw]

[Ford has the audacity to roll his eyes. It is a Pines family trait to laugh in the face of danger; a method of coping that may or may not be smart, but is no doubt innate.]

Don't flatter yourself. What do you want? The dimension I'm in is on lockdown, so there's no point in trying to drag me back to your frat party.

[If there is one thing to be thankful of as a flat, nearly featureless, levitating pyramid it is just that-- being nearly featureless. Oh, Bill's antics more than make up for his lack of usable expressions but there is a benefit to being hard to understand.

It meant it took a very well trained eye to tell when he was caught off guard.

Apart from a slightest shift of his slitted pupil, Bill keeps his demeanor in check. Maybe if no one remembers the way Weirdmageddon went, he can stop it from happening. Could this Ford be from an alternate timeline? Does he just have amnesia?]

"WHY, who says I want ANYTHING? Can't a guy drop by and check in on his old pal?"

[He needs to know more, and damn it all he is with the ONE mortal he can't get the answers from the easy way.]

"This WONDERLAND must be QUITE THE PLACE for you to ABANDON YOUR HOME so easily. You sure you REALLY have no intentions of going back?"

[mviw]

[Ford notices something--perhaps a misstep?--but he isn't sure. There's so much wrong with this, he doesn't know where to start.]

You say that like I had a choice, which tells me-- [The light of realization sparks in his eyes.] ... You're fishing! Hah! And you're coming to me for information? [He wouldn't admit it in a million years, but that is a slight ego boost whether or not he's right in his assumption.]

I would be flattered, but electric shock torture isn't any way to treat an old pal and I'm not feeling very forgiving.

[That's Ford's very polite way of saying "suck it."]
