| GREY.
How else does anyone meet their girlfriend's adopted human puppy other than not being aware of said adopted human puppy until he comes climbing to her window while one is having relations of an intimate nature with one's girlfriend? That's how it happens for everyone, right? Okay, so maybe it wasn't the best initial meeting, stumbling out in April's jacket and all, but Grey proved that free food is a great motivator for just about everybody and it turned out all right in the end. He's even leaving boiled eggs at the window! No idea who trained him in that one, but whatever. Boiled eggs are great. And who better to keep a secret than the boy who cannot actually speak? Grey came from some awfully cramped world, according to everything Will's heard about it. Time to go out on the ocean, all the space anyone could ever want! Grey has proven himself a sincerely kind and loyal person, in Will's eyes. Not just because of how he treats April or himself or Abigail, but overall. They work in the garden together, and Will considers Grey another member of the household. He might not live with them just yet, but if that changed, he would not at all be surprised or find it intrusive. Grey's lost someone he felt extremely close to here in the world of heroes. Even if Will didn't know how absolutely soul-crushing isolation could be when it wasn't wanted, it wouldn't change anything. Grey's proven himself and has earned a place at their table, no doubt about it. ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| LOKI (the HIPSTER VIKING).
One of the Wonder Twins when it comes to stockpiling information about this place, more evidence that gods are pains in the ass. But as long as there is no teacup shattering going on, it's tolerable. Bring on the goat booze! Will sucks at manipulation when faced with someone who's much better at manipulation than he is, or is aware enough of how some people can be. He does not yet know about Loki's conversation with Miles Edgeworth, but if he did? He'd be flattered. Trash prince senpai noticed him! (◕‿◕✿) ♫ ♫ |
| RAINA.
A charming woman who seems to find beauty in most everything she sees and doesn't at all mind sharing her talents when it comes to crafting flowers out of nothingness. She made a larkspur for Will when they met at a Swear-In (and he pretended not to know who she was at all), which he's kept to press as a bookmark and isn't going to tell anyone without circumstances being dire. Nor is he going to ever reveal why he asked for larkspur to Raina herself and hopefully she won't ever figure it out or be told. Flowers are not without their thorns, however, and helping them grow strong and beautiful does not happen if one does not get dirty. Getting dirty doesn't necessarily have to mean the dirt Will's accustomed to, though tying herself to Chilton has perked his interest more than he'd like to admit and more than he wants to let show. He's going to wait and see what she finds out from everybody's blood, if anything of actual merit even crops up Crops up. It's funny because plants! ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| RED.
Red is a breath of fresh air who came in singing the sweetest tune Will's heard in a long time: y'all. An independent spirit, a proactive nature, and an openness to new things dressed in a what's almost a vision of heaven, honestly. Will can't help but find her commitment to being herself instead of floundering to fit in impressive (not that he'll say it; his opinion shouldn't mean shit and it's not called for). She's interested in learning about where she's landed, this world away from Mars, but she doesn't seem inclined to change who she is despite that cowboy hat making her stick out like a sore thumb. She could read him the phone book and he'd be a rapt audience. Hopefully she's yet to come across Big Red gum. Hopefully she never does. ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| STAR-LORD.
April and Will own two hamsters thanks to Star-Lord's face, but it's perhaps best he never knows considering they were bought as a gift to cheer up a very sad April. Mitch-Bot and Old Eddie made a great addition to the house and wouldn't have ever been brought in if not for Star-Lord twisting the knife in April's soul, so...seems better if he remains unaware. A music buff who's stuck in an older time period, which Will almost thinks of a blessing. The good old of days of music, when rock was rock! Metal was metal! Get off his lawn! Star-Lord mentioned being "the other woman" when Jeff approached him about joining their gym adventures, but hopefully that never comes across as true. There is an oddness to this Lord of the Stars that's entirely refreshing for Will. His sense of humor about how to promote mating in live bait and his ability to remain calm under the pressure of poor guitarists playing the same tune repeatedly work in his favor to make him seem approachable and on a more even keel than many who've been through (like Will, for starters). That's the sort of guy everyone should have on speed dial, and not because his abs are out of this world. He feels worth knowing and hanging around. Just not at his and April's place. (Sorry bro.) ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| KAIDAN ALENKO.
If Freddie ever gets herself murdered here and Kaidan doesn't come after Will in some form or fashion, he will be offended. WELP. Shockingly, for how handsome Kaidan is, when he pulls that sad face, Will's drawn to the puppy appeal over anything else. Go figure. ♫ ♫ |
| KATE BISHOP.
One of the Wonder Twins when it comes to information about here. Kate is an impressive individual and, fortunately, broadcasts that. Unfortunately, some of her smarts got transferred to figuring out what the hell was up with the Baltimore crew in regards to Chilton and Will had to do what he could to prevent it from going any further. It's not technically lying when he's just throwing himself under the bus because of how terrible a witness he'd be! As far as he knows, she's dropped it. He hopes it stays that way. It needs to stay that way. He will make her more pies as offering. He should actually do more than pies. Poor Kate Bishop keeps getting sent down rabbit trails by Baltimore, even when they don't mean to do just that. Will can't tell anyone outside of a very, very small group of people that he knows who ran about in Freddie Lounds' skin, but he'd blabbed his mouth about it to Kate Bishop before he had those details. So now he's torn on how to deal with it, should it come again. He should bring it up. He should tell her something. He's half tempted to tell her it's probably best to just ignore Baltimore's people, including him. They only end up wasting her time and giving her headaches and she does not at all deserve it. ♫ ♫ |
| SASHA BLOUSE.
Will stood to the side when he saw great evil happening in a grocery store, and came out of it pretty unscathed. He came out of meeting Sasha, too, so maybe he'll let people slash up grocery store displays more often. But Sasha didn't seem to realize eating and running while still in the store wasn't taken to very well, and helped serve as a bigger wake up call to the fact of the matter that some of the worlds here were very different. She asks him about plenty he takes for granted and he does his best to help out where he can. The enjoyable part of that is when he ends up doing research on his own and finds out that, well, look at that, watermelons are actually a type of berry. Sasha learns a thing or two from Will and, in one way or another, Will ends up learning just as much. So when she issues an invitation to a potluck with people, he's going and he's going on his best behavior. Not to make friends, but to not be that guest who ends up reflecting poorly on the host. He doesn't think she'll screw him up for it (though she probably could)—it's just good manners, isn't it? Sasha's earned some good manners. Sasha asked if Will would stand in as her legal guardian, and he was quick to say yes. Now that Abigail Hobbs has left, Will's started to shift a bit onto Sasha. She even hunts! What could go wrong? Plenty could go wrong. Sasha's world is near the top of the list of worlds Will has absolutely no interest in seeing for himself. Apparently Sasha has issues with people she knows being out of time, too, and knowing more than she's experienced. A phone call wherein he didn't agree with Crane's (he better back off) ideas of monsters and humanity led to quite a conversation that Will had not expected to ever get into with Sasha, of all people. He needs to have another one with her, though how to start it is (surprise!) something of a problem. She was polite enough to Ken the next time they spoke in public, but he'll be a shitty legal guardian and friend and officer if he doesn't actually do what he said he would. Adult life is so hard. ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| ELSA BRANDT.
Ah, Elsa. Beautiful, foul-mouthed Elsa. Elsa Elsa Elsa. Eat a Snickers, you're not yourself when you're surrounded by men losing their minds. Will can't help but be interested in someone flaunting an underwater car that happens to run on water instead of gas. He simply can't, especially not after he lost the ability to breathe underwater. But what was initially a rather normal conversation turned into something dark and full of terrors, though their food discussion did give Will something new to try. A new breakfast food, maybe he can get Abigail to embrace her power and everyone can enjoy egg pancakes. Everything changed when he stopped by De Chima 002, his old stomping grounds, in the hopes of leaving Mike Parker a freezer full of fresh fish and a note if he wasn't around. Mike wasn't there at first, but Elsa was! Naked. Bloody. Freshly back from the...magical ritual of...anyway, not important. What started out as a rather normal conversation, the situation being what it was, escalated with the arrival of a naked Matthew Lin and a shirtless Mike Parker who had simply had enough of the weird shit going on. Which is really saying a lot, taking into account who they used to live with. So now Elsa's seen one of the powers Will kept closer to his chest at first. He'd been tempted to ask her about how to control shadows, if she had any experience with them...sort of feels a little awkward at this point. Oh well, Dorian Gray totally knows what he's talking about. ♫ ♫ |
| JONATHAN CRANE.
From "another psychiatrist" to coworker, Will doesn't really find too much off about the good Doctor Crane here. In fact, when faced with Miles Edgeworth's dilemma about finding a psychiatrist, he shuffled him off to Crane. The guy specializes in anxiety, and Will knows very well what Frederick Chilton specializes in. He's a fan of Jung, fine, whatever. It can't be that bad, though, can it? Might be up to something with Chilton, but Will doesn't know for certain. He has, unfortunately, been the recipient of messages Will intended for April. He was a good sport about it, and if he ever feels lonely, he can look back and see that somebody loves him. That's nice, isn't it? Will's favorite game whenever they're in the same building for work is seeing how long he can restrain himself from stopping by and being a shithead. He's basically Zeller at this point. Oops. OOPS. OOPS!?!??! NO WHY Totally up to something with Chilton, and that something was torture. Everything happens so much, it really does. So now Will's stuck, knowing without knowing (and possibly shuffled out of the know), calling the chimera for additional help with this situation. His stops by Crane's office are less frequent now, almost nonexistent. If the man asks Will to join him for lunch, he won't say no. But he won't initiate it, either. It's a precarious spot to be in, and Will doesn't enjoy it too much. He's worked with worse, though, hasn't he? People like Crane turn into people like Crane for some reason, usually, Will knows. He considers himself fortunate for not having gotten too invested in him, otherwise he might be tempted to do a little subtle digging. Will didn't think too much about Crane before he made his move, he's certainly not going to change that now. He won't let this eat at him or anything. Haha. Yeah right. This sucks and everything sucks and he should never have changed jobs, fucking birds, man. ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| MILES EDGEWORTH.
Started off a little rocky, no surprise there. But it seemed to settle well enough...until Miles got news that Yuri Petrov was, in fact, a raging lunatic. By the name of Lunatic. Will had some loyalties to Yuri, and the glorious inability to care about arguing in public spaces when he called Miles out on his particular method of announcing this to the community at large with then insufficient evidence. Even with Kay's impromptu stop to give him the details as she saw them, he remained unconvinced it was anything other than shortsighted and reckless. Which is fine enough when someone is, like, ten. Not so fine when that puts other people on the line. But at least Miles recognized it, and although their little meeting in Will's kitchen wasn't under the best of circumstances, it still feels like they've found a good, nice even spot. Miles has asked him about a variety of things, relating to the job, and even though Will's not glad that's his first association, he's glad that Miles comes to him and they can have reasonable, friendly discussions. He might never say it out loud, but he considers Miles something of a friend. Close enough that it could veer into that territory...just as easily as it could veer into another spitting match. But where's the fun if a friendship doesn't involve the ability to have heated disagreements, right? And where's the fun if, when one friend vanishes, the other doesn't step in to make sure none of their stuff goes missing? Not only did April and he have a haul of free groceries (!!!), they got a better insight at the sort of person Miles Edgeworth is when no one is watching. He apparently watches some really strange television. That's probably why Will's been sucked into it, not that he'll say it out loud without prompting. Or that he spent the first few episodes watching it, looking to see what Miles Edgeworth saw in it...before he got invested in the show and enjoyed it all on his own. Strange minds think alike. ♫ ♫ (hot readings & cold shoulders.) |
| HOUKA INUMUTA.
Inumuta and Will spoke before about the government, and if anyone is surprised that the government does not appreciate being hacked, that's someone Will doesn't want to talk to. Annie's friend here has a smart mouth that doesn't know when to quit, and after sticking his snout into some business at a charity event, Will decided to turn the hose on a damn yappy little pup and bought him, too. While he was right there to see it. Inumuta didn't appreciate it. He didn't seem to appreciate his birthday present much, either, going so far as to ask the Network what the hell was wrong with Will Graham. No regrets on Will's end, even if he didn't enjoy having to be an actual adult in the conversation that ensued. He might take things to extremes, as far as Will sees it, but he's worth keeping an eye on. Inumuta has totally been through worse than having to deal with Will Graham anyway. He won't believe otherwise after the Network-announced stomach-crushing despair that came from eating something a friend cooked for him... ...Will's interest has nothing to do with that. ♫ ♫ |
| DORIAN GRAY.
Robbed a bank, got burned to death by Lunatic. Life is just one wild ride for Dorian Gray. The two of them bonded over being close to Yuri Petrov but not close enough, and it felt righteous to destroy some of his nicer dishware together. That could have been the end of it (wham, bam, thank you, man), but Will got sent home and returned with a new set of powers. One was not difficult to understand. The other hit almost as close as his ability to fix broken cups, and after repeated attempts to fix what he thought must have been broken, he sought Dorian Gray out to see if he knew a thing about controlling shadows. Dorian doesn't, but Dorian Gray is a L-I-A-R. Will has no idea, has no frame of reference for this sort of thing. He's also shockingly at ease around Dorian, even when he's sitting on the sex couch and in line to inherit it should problems arise. So while Will has come to accept that his powers are very limited, he's content to still spend time with Dorian. Even if Dorian seems to think a certain psychiatrist has a thing for Will. Dorian let his shadow destroy part of his house! Dorian was totally chill with having his own shadow prance and demand attention! Dorian has his problems, but don't we all? Let he who is without sin— He also has no idea that Dorian sees him a project. He's happier this way. ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| JONATHAN JOESTAR.
This poor man. Jonathan Joestar was unlucky enough to receive Hannibal Lecter's communicator by accident and then ask the Network about him. Cue a slew of memories and Will trying his damnedest to keep himself as together as possible when he chimed in. Didn't help that both Freds were out of their minds at the time and Abigail had vanished. One man alone against the world. Except not. Jonathan Joestar is an incredible and incredibly baffling individual. An offer of help Will had not expected left him almost unable to speak English. Will is fully aware that some people just want to help, and genuinely so, for no selfish reasons attached. They want to help not because it makes them feel good, or because it helps them sleep easier at night even as it crawls into their dreams, but because they're just good people. Jonathan Joestar is good people, from everything Will's seen. This is both attractive and repulsive. His well of patience, kindness, and understanding has to dry up at some point, doesn't it? Getting too close to someone like Jonathan while carefully keeping his own badness in the shadows seems unfair. Cruel. Intruding on something he doesn't deserve, isn't worthy of. But he wants to soak up some of that spirit. If he can change for the worse under the influence of the worst, putting himself around more of the best might be a nice remedy, right? ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| KEN KANEKI.
There was a time when Will didn't realize there were other cannibals around. Not like Titans, but legitimate cannibals. And then, oh, the file leaks happened, Ken had been publicly slaughtered, and he came back a little different than he'd been before. He also came back a criminal, and Will Graham used his Registered status and their former living situation as a way to segue himself right in Ken's life. He's yet to tell him the true reasoning behind it, and apparently Ken only eats his meat raw, so there's no sharing on that end, but. One day. One day, soon, it'll all come spilling out. Like guts. So Will did it. He did the adult thing. He had a Difficult Conversation. No guts were spilled. Some secrets, perhaps, and Ken's enormous inner organ came shooting out of his back, but what's cannibalistic conversations without a couple of organs being put on the table for Will's inspection, right? Par for the course. (First course is people.) Honesty seems to have paid off, go figure. Ken's come to Will outside of their relationship as officer and criminal (pfft) for a place to stay, and like hell is Will going to say no to a little extra help at the shop when some of his staff would be overjoyed at having several days off in a row. Everyone benefits, no one really loses. Will might have to ford the river of awkward phone calls from people worried about Ken, but he's had much worse phone calls than that. They'll pull through just fine. That's what cannibals do, after all. And Ken, if he made a diet out of other ghouls like him instead of human beings, regardless of his reasoning, is definitely more of a cannibal than Will hopefully could ever be. Which probably sucks for Ken. Kid ain't right. But who is? ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ (iron chef: raw vs. cooked) |
| CLARK KENT.
Clark seems like a good guy, and when Freddie Lounds and Will Graham agree on something, that's a pretty big indicator. Will's not sure what he did to get Clark so agreeable to not snooping within Baltimore's scope, but...well, he's glad they came to terms as they did. Talking to Clark, even when it's about something less than pleasant, has this odd, soothing effect. Will's not sure if he just has some words-as-relaxants power or it's just him, but he'd quite like Clark to stick around. Clark has stuck around, and Will's still on board with this whole sticking around business. It was a huge blow, losing Freddie, how Freddie made her grand exit. Although Will puts up what could be considered a front that it doesn't gnaw at him too terribly much, it does, and Clark's gentle, good nature serves as a fantastic balm to combat that whenever the topic comes around. Will won't bring it up, ever, but he's curious how it feels to be the odd man out when Clark's oddness is so normal. What's it like to be a normal guy surrounded by great detective and superheroes? Will can understand why they'd hang with him (who wouldn't?), but it's still interesting to note. And even though his Crane is a different Crane, Will's thankful for that extra bit of information. What a great guy. ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| ANNIE LEONHART.
Pinged by Chilton and Gideon pointing fingers on the Network, Will spoke up, too. Made it easier to follow along that way. He didn't expect much of anything to come from it...and then Annie Leonhart became higher up on his "follow all public conversations" radar shortly after. Her world seems intense, and intensely awful. He can't fix that, but he can provide a little padding, here in this one. Sometimes the freezer in his shop has a more expensive box of ice cream reserved for her, so what? Sometimes she gives him a load of shark teeth and his thoughts are to make something with them that doesn't point to them being exactly what they are, so what? She communicates in ways Will can appreciate while having a lack of understanding about certain things Will is used to and takes for granted. That makes it, occasionally, easier for Will to be less of a mess when she's around. But it also is a source for worry, however he might not want to state it out loud. He's less worried about the possibility of her Titan-ing the hell out in the middle of a shift at his shop than he is about what might happen if the wrong sort comes across her missing pieces of knowledge plenty take for granted. Go figure. (Lunch time is never people with Annie. Lunch time with Annie? Is awesome.) ♫ ♫ ♫ (i'm still breathing.) |
| MATTHEW LIN.
A demon and a liar, and a particularly reckless one at that. This little ram from hell has gotten himself wrapped up a bit too tightly in the way that he seems to interact with several others Will feels close to. He doesn't mind the demon thing, and lying is about as unique as red roses, but this is something else. He has a foul mouth which fits all the shit he spews, and goes great with his tendency to stick his snout where it isn't called for. To snoop and take and play it off as though it's not extremely rude. He remembers those Bronzefish. He also remembers his good buddy Father Daniels, and it anything happens to a man stuck in prison suffering from hallucinations of the demonic... ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| CHROLLO LUCILFER.
Look at that body. Not the name, names can be misleading. That body is on advertisements near Will's work more often than not. He has to look at that body. Chrollo has an...interesting...last name, it's true. But Will also rhymes with kill, and he isn't— Anyway. Unfortunate incidents led to memory swapping, and then somehow Chrollo found Will worth "purchasing" at a charity event. He's never one to shy away from a fishing trip, provided the company is good, and Chrollo is fine company. A bit of a businessman, too, if he goes through with this whole diner plan. Men of wealth and taste are... Nah. No way. Really. What are the chances? People can't help what their parents name them! ♫ ♫ |
| ♛ APRIL LUDGATE.
Sweet Lord have mercy, the first person to initiate a conversation with Will on the Network was April Ludgate. Already in a whirlwind of confusion, April added more onto it, but not in a bad way. It ran the gamut from cute pets to bats to her being a vampire queen and him being prejudiced against vampires to talk of raccoons and clams. Who better to name badass sharks after? Will left Heropa to move to his beloved Virginia after sending her a gift, and text conversations about anything and everything and a destroyed house later? Well, he had to go somewhere. The secret to seduction is, apparently, a piss poor attempt at an accent of Natasha from Rocky & Bullwinkle. Apathy and empathy, it's like the positive and negative sides to magnets. Totally awesome, not quite sure how it all really works, but, mysteriously, it does. Though when Hannibal Lecter's around? Better keep personal relationships quiet. No making out on trains. He can find a way to absorb her ability to not care about anything and everything some other way. He envies it, even. Just a bit. When Hannibal Lecter is not around? Internal partying, time to move in and be on his best behavior around Eduardo. That is one raccoon nobody should want to fuck with. Heropa's selections of wines under five dollars are probably starting to deplete between these two, there is nothing to complain about here. April essentially owns his soul at this point. He's very pleased. Essentially? No. She does. She totally does. If moving in and making meals doesn't prove as much, the rings on their fingers should because April and Will took a nice weekend vacation to Puerto Rico, said to hell with it, and tied the knot. This place is a world onto itself, and the only chance they get. Holding back out of fear or consideration about what might happen to another them who will never know this them is a waste. They stopped being wasteful. Both of them ended up Ported out for a day, it was time to commit or admit that it was never going to happen. In the wake of Abigail being taken away once more, April proved herself the safe harbor that Will could actually depend on. When Abigail returned, she proved that while she puts up a nice front about not caring, when it comes to the few people she grows attached to, her caring knows no bounds. Abigail Hobbs will always be first and foremost on Will's list of important people, but since they've moved past the whole child bride mix up and it's been made extremely obvious he's a sad plaid dad, April is right behind her. There is nothing in this world (or any world) that Will would not do in order to see April safe, sound, and happy. His only regret is that if either of them are ever hit by the Porter in the most merciless of ways, they'll never see each other again after those three months have gone by. And if Will ever goes back to Baltimore and stays there, not only will he never see her again, he won't know she ever existed and can't miss her. It's both blessing and curse and Will does his best to dwell on it approximately never. He's certainly not going to say it. ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ (you get me.) |
| KANAYA MARYAM.
Kanaya has been around a while, which Will finds as beneficial as he finds saddening. But, hey, after a brief discussion about her world, here might be better! Except for the whole literal supervillain thing, that's...not quite so great. Their first real interaction came by way of Kanaya being in prison and Will bringing her the newspapers she'd missed out on. Just a normal chat about what she was missing without anything pushy going on, a chance to observe what he might have looked like...okay, fine. There was some selfishness going on. STILL. Kanaya's out and seems to be doing well enough, when she's not being screwed over by this place in general. He has, at least, learned not to mirror her troll quirk. Pro: it gets her attention. Con: she gets upset about it. Who knew! He's still trying to figure out how to navigate the waters of Kanaya Maryam successfully, and not at all hoping for something fashionable later on. Will and fashionable, please. ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| MIKE PARKER.
Will found Mike outside during the Swear-In, realized Mike had been "living outside" when the house he was assigned to was Will's, Mike almost walked into a lamp, things looked like they'd be okay, despite some confusion and odd conversation. That had absolutely nothing on what happened when Mike tested out his power to become a dog without telling any of his housemates that one of his abilities included turning into a dog. So, Will being Will, found a tired dog that was receptive to being taken inside and carried and generally got pretty excited over having acquired Dog Number Two. Only he realized Dog Number Two wasn't a regular dog and then Mike Dog is leaving pot in his room and eventually coming out as a person and talking to Gunther about dog stuff and just. Why. Life difficult, get high. Life more difficult when Mike "covers" for Will and leaves him some terrifying conversations to find when he gets back together, more difficult when Mike's not around to discuss that with, and then pretty damn okay when Mike comes back. What a bro. And then Mike got upset that Will didn't have his full stash of weed for him when he returned and attacked his dog after deciding not to shoot Will. So maybe...not...bros...maybe. They'll fix it. Somehow. Eventually. It's not like dog!Mike can find anyone who gives tummy rubs as good as Will does, and he knows it. It'll be fine. It'll be fine, he thinks. It'll work out, he thinks. And after a talk with Matthew Lin on the Network about cannibalism, Will comes to believe that, because Mike Parker comes back to have a nice conversation with him instead of the one they had when Will announced his new job. Everything is okay. Until Will breaks up a fight and forgets, in the process, that he once had a dream featuring that stag and a river of bodies, a dream Mike Parker happened to wander right into and believed himself to have done some really heavy drugs. But no one was too injured and Will left him some fish, so. It'll be fine. ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| JESSE PINKMAN.
Talk about getting started off on the wrong foot. Will has a couple of issues when it comes to Abigail Hobbs, and Jesse Pinkman unfortunately got to experience those in a phone call that Will straight up lied about to start with. So that was destined to go smoothly from the beginning. Not. He doesn't know the extent of what behind-the-scenes went down, which is really good, may it forever stay that way. He's spoken to Hank about Jesse to get his version of events, and Hank is probably better at following the law than Will is. Everyone makes mistakes, though. Will made a mistake by chewing Jesse Pinkman out, but some direct communication seems to be helpful. Passing him his bacon probably didn't hurt, either. Will's intentions aren't pure by any stretch of the imagination, but they're not nasty, either. There's nothing wrong with picking up the debris of blown apart bridges while collecting some additional details and observations as he does so, right? #notallfeds #hewisheshewasafed ♫ ♫ |
| JAIME REYES.
Jaime Reyes is a good kid. He's patient, and generous, and kind, and he has this really strange knack wherein he actually admits his flaws/faults instead of blowing it off or pretending it doesn't exist. He seems like the product of a good home, sure, but he also seems like the sort of person who gives back to the goodness of that home and makes it better than it was before or would be without him. He's dealt with Will at less than his best and handled it very gracefully. He knows how to express gratitude, too, and now he's got plenty of dumb, punny shirts to wear wherever his enormous, golden heart desires. And Will wins by getting updates whenever Jaime finds one (or more) of interest? What a great kid. Jaime should be a superhero. He's the sort of person that needs to be given gifts to help others. He could probably talk those evil gorillas out of their evil plans and save the situation without any causalities. ♫ ♫ |
| HANK SCHRADER.
Will's brother in law in the way that they're both on the side of the law. Haw-haw. Hank is a crass son of a bitch and Will likes him for it. His mouth sounds like it belongs in a boatyard, and even though Will's life growing up wasn't exactly the best, he can associate Hank with the better aspects of it. The one guy who worked closely with his father who didn't think he had to clean up his mouth whenever a kid came around, the one who'd call something horse shit right to Will's face. The sort of rudeness that Will doesn't get too much of and honestly flocks to Hank for. As well as his beer. Hot damn. Hank might play humble that he hasn't made it just right yet, but even discussing unpalatable topics, Will knows good beer when he tastes it. He can't hold anything against Hank for his initial reaction to Will's questions about Jesse Pinkman, and as long as the two of them still get along well enough for Hank to use some of that sweet, sweet vulgar language, it's smooth sailing. He's not giving up on beating Hank's ass at pool, though. He's biding his time. There is a difference. ♫ ♫ |
| KAREN STARR.
Will started this one off on the wrong foot, too. (How shocking.) That Grapevine blog was just the start of it, not that he's aware. Though Karen turning down another cat led to Abigail gaining a cat of her own, and now that he's seen how Abigail interacts with said cat and come to love the hell beast himself, he's glad she didn't take his apology given physical body. But, oh, Power Girl. Also on the wrong foot. Will followed Freddie's discussions, he didn't think that was something anyone would ever doubt. So when Power Girl confronts him about Will Graham's sins of omission in regards to how she left, he's quick to lose his indoor voice. Power Girl had threatened Freddie publicly, it didn't seem a good idea or look for him to just immediately jump on board with her. Escalation akin to throwing a light match into a tank of gasoline occurred, but it looks like things might be smoothing out. They talk politely, at least. It's one step. The next step is another difficult conversation. It's just so haaaaaaaaard. Why won't people give up on Baltimore? They're just setting themselves up for headaches and wasted time. ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| JOHN WATSON.
Got off to a bit of a rough start with poor John Watson here, and tried to smooth over the roughness that affected Karen most by making a dog person deal with having another cat around. As one does. But then comes in Mary, and Will initiates conversation without immediately adding up the connection there. The two of them are clearly used to a specific sort of odd "genius" running around, Will doesn't feel out of place around either of them. He kicked up a bit of a fuss with the medical staff when he first returned from canon update, spoke to Mary, and decided that shifting over medical care to John was really not the worst idea. In fact, it was a pretty great one, because it means free home-cooked breakfast and spending that free home-cooked breakfast with people who don't seem to find him on the verge of mental breakdown or murder. Just a little odd, but John has yet to share how he thinks of Will's oddness with Will. If only he would, because Will would be so honored. He probably won't completely screw over everything in Will's life, either, which is amazing. A doctor doing what a doctor is supposed to do????? What the shit is this. John Watson has a hell of a life. Will's always been appreciative (even if he's been quiet about it) of how John handles him. He's not perfect, but he tries. Will can agitate him, can be a poor patient, can say the wrong thing. John leaving the room isn't a failure on either part, but a sign that someone, at least, knows their limits and acts on that. John Watson is someone Will looks up to. He doesn't idolize or put him on a pedestal, but there are traits Will wouldn't mind being able to absorb, digest, and use on his own in the same way it's so easy for him to do with people on the opposite end of what Will sees in John. Which is a good man who just so happens to have one hell of a life. How he keeps it together as well as he does enough that he can go on to freely help others should be classified as one of the wonders of the modern world. ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ |
| MARY WATSON.
Mary's a nurse who keeps a watch on the Network about as much, if not more, than Will does. She's used to the odd types. In fact, she seems to welcome them more than anything else. He doesn't feel like she tolerates his presence. He feels like she actually enjoys it. That's great, because Will enjoys her presence, too. Even if she scolds him on trying to swap out as a hostage for Abigail. No one understands his deep ties to Abigail, it's okay. As long as she's gonna be cooking breakfast anyway, he's not gonna complain. Mary is also another L-I-A-R. Fortunately, through some miracle, Will has managed to earn her friendship and a bit of trust in the process. This fire-breathing monster made up of the parts of other monsters (truly fitting, if she's running around wearing the skins of Baltimore's finest) came out about her frolic as Freddie Lounds while the two of them made cupcakes. Of course Will wasn't going to turn away. Sort of difficult to when the dead came back to life and stared at him, sitting, with nowhere to turn to. Unless he wanted to slide to the floor and never get up, naturally. Will knew about bluebird and never said anything, lied as well. They're birds of a feather in that way, if nothing else. Will's been considered best friends to the Chesapeake Ripper, though, someone would have to be truly terrible for him to turn away from their company. Especially when they can be so useful! Especially when they make such good cupcakes. Will puts trust in Mary and hopes that it won't end poorly. It's all he can do. She gave him a false choice without even trying to pretend otherwise. He's used to being presented with multiple options and smacked until he takes the one he was supposed to take in the first place, as though he could read minds. Takes two to tango, and Mary helps keep those skills of his sharp. She's a grinding stone, and one he simply has to have faith won't shatter and come back around to bite him in the ass. ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ (Do you have a history of popping him one?) |
| WALTER WHITE.
Brother-in-law to Hank, who is also Will's brother in law. Zing. Something happened between Walter White and Frederick Chilton, though hell if Will has been able to figure out the complete truth of the matter. It was nice that their little deal stuck, though not so nice when stories were different. Changed. Almost like Will had been lied to, or at least had been slapped with a few sins of omission. From all sides, perhaps. He may never know. Walter White has reasons for anger issues. This place is stressful enough on its own, but coming back from what some see as a promised released, an end, and finding others from their homes here, too? Good reason to lose it. Seems things have blown over, though, so that's nice. It's so relieving when adults can take care of problems like adults and reach agreements without dragging everyone they know down with them for extended lengths of time. Surely it was just a one time thing. It's all water under the bridge now. Why. ♫ ♫ |
| JEFF WINGER.
Former lawyer who was formerly disbarred and is now back in action on the small screen. Will had the misfortune of discovering a thread wherein Jeff stripped of his shirt for April's eyes, which prompted a streak of insecurity about how he looks shirtless. In order to fix it as much as he possibly ever can, he gave Jeff a ring after April turned down his offer to be gym buddies. April and Jeff seemed to be on similar wavelengths, that was the better option to stewing in envy. Jeff was agreeable and the two of them hit it pretty well. So well that when Jeff vanished for a day, Will reacted rather poorly, fearing he'd be lost to the Porter forever. Fortunately, that wasn't the case! Gym buddy returned, slightly agitated, they picked back up. And Jeff even wrangled another guy with fabulous abs that Will can never attain. The downside is that he looks like one of April's old boyfriends from back home. Some waters are better left unstirred. The more time he spends with Jeff, though, the more he's stirred up inside. Where does bro end and brother begin? When is Jeff going to get sick of Will and run off with Star-Lord? Are they connected by their own attempts to isolate themselves? Also, Jeff served as War during a minor apocalypse. Will has no fucking idea. ♫ ♫ ♫ |
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit,
and it's filled with people who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it...
FREDERICK CHILTON.
The guy Will had to deal with a few times for work evolved into the guy Will had to deal with because he'd been shuffled off to the Baltimore State Hospital for the Criminally Insane as an intelligent psychopath. That escalated quickly! When Will first got to Heropa, he was further ahead on the timeline and content to not talk about that at all. Then Chilton and Gideon go poof after Chilton's walls are smeared with his own blood and showed to the Network, which sort of makes any secret keeping on Will's end a moot point. Only they both come back and Chilton doesn't seem to think he's a dangerous murderer??? And he's willing to tell him what disease he's dealing with as long as Will keeps his trap shut about why Gideon might have made an impromptu visit resulting in Chilton's blood all over his own walls???? Wow. What a great deal. Chilton gets more than Will's comfortable with people getting, for better or worse. He's one of the few people who have called Will out on his metaphors/similes being complete shit, which led to a metaphorical crisis while Abigail Hobbs was in a literal crisis. He was also the first person Will outright told "yeah I watch your every public move on the Network" and has suffered a few namedrops in silence since. Now that Will's further along the timeline once again, he's uncomfortably stuck in a position where he's got all the information and he doesn't know how to go about sharing it. So he's avoiding the hell out of him, because that's healthy. Should've kept avoiding him, now Will has dirtied his hands by cleaning up Chilton's mess with an accidentally elk head-butted Abel Gideon. What else are friends for, if not cleaning up after each other, though? Abigail's disappearance followed Freddie's murder, taking them down to two. Frederick Chilton is now the only line Will has back to the bloody, crazy home he knows. He also happens to be Will's psychiatrist again, though Will doesn't intend to do much in the way of actual therapy. Why would he have to, when he's played so well with good ol' Fred all along? Well shit. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit. ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

| ABIGAIL HOBBS.
Things will be better here for Abigail Hobbs, so help him. There is probably nothing in this world that Will Graham would not do for her. Showed up in the hospital the day he had moved out of Heropa, which meant he got his ass right back to Florida. He had months of clues dropped in his lap, all ignored, that came together when Hannibal Lecter's shadow had gone away, and came together in confusing, horrifying ways. Of course there would be confusion, unraveled by Will spending some time back home and coming back with information from the outside. Information that was enough to upset Abigail's stomach with him unable to do anything about it. Other than promote her at the bait shop, though that's a drop in the bucket for what she truly deserves. What she truly deserves being less serial killers in her life and more happiness. He's not a shining beacon of joy, but for Abigail Hobbs, alive and breathing? He can be whatever the hell she needs or wants him to be. She is going to have a better life. She is going to be happy. He will lose his mind before he accepts anything else but a happier world for Abigail Hobbs. ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ ♫ (covenanting with the devil.)
