ho-hum.

[petitehands]

Let me get this straight, you're thinking about taking me somewhere that's essentially purgatory - and I use "taking" lightly because "dumping" seems too melodramatic, although accurate - just because you really like the idea of having an in-character instagram account for me?

[ s i g h s ]

You've got the weirdest priorities in the world.

[debts]

It has a certain cache.

[petitehands]

The worst thing is that part of me's actually kind of taken with the idea, so ignoring the whole purgatory business, apparently I really want to get instagram.

[ shrugging... ]

[debts]

Arthur would follow it.

[ Haha, what a loser.

[petitehands]

I know he would. [ such a loser, but it's so endearing. ] It's almost enough to warm me to the idea on the whole.

[geotactics]

Really?

[petitehands]

Almost.

[geotactics]

But not yours.

[debts]

That's because you have inferior taste in shoes.

[geotactics]

And I wouldn't be able to resist hyper focusing on the small blood stains.

Traumatizing.

[debts]

Hazards of the job.

[geotactics]

I don't think they'd let people like you make a pit stop in purgatory.

[debts]

[ That, at least, gets a fond kind of smile. ]

You'd never get anything done if I was there, staring at my ankles.

[geotactics]

Jeez, I'm not that Victorian.

Maybe.

[debts]

Denial isn't a good look.

[geotactics]

You'd be the expert.

[debts]

I'm good at a lot of things.

[geotactics]

It's not a bad thing. Generally.

[debts]

So now we're speaking in generalizations?

[geotactics]

Well. Being good at garroting is generally bad. Specific situations, useful.

So. General.

[mockblingbird]

It's not half-bad once you get used to it. Don't fight it. Just let it happen.

[having another redhead to hit on wouldn't hurt]

[petitehands]

I feel like I have to resist at least a little to preserve some sense of dignity. False dignity, probably, but it's something, at least.

[mockblingbird]

Not that you'll remember anything when push comes to shove.

[petitehands]

Not sure yet whether that's a selling point or not.

[mockblingbird]

Depends on what you're usually keen on buying.

[petitehands]

Not much around here, to be totally honest.

[mockblingbird]

Seems like a bit of a problem. You'll find something eventually. Maybe once you realize what you've done to deserve going where you'll end up.

[petitehands]

That might take a while. Not that I have an excessively high opinion of myself, but I can't think of a correlation between things I've done and deserving whatever I end up with.

[mockblingbird]

Ever fail someone?

[hulk]

...Well, I mean. As far as ideas for what may happen, that's pretty benign? At least compared to some things I've heard.

[ "HULK VERSUS VELOCIRAPTORS" has been something he's heard more than once. What is his life. He doesn't know. ]

[petitehands]

It's benign up until the part where I need an alternative universe background that revolves around being miserable. [ velociraptors......,. ] Still. It could probably be worse.

[hulk]

[ There have been Jurassic Park premise games/memes, it's a legit consideration. ]

Yeah. Th- I mean, I know, mine was also— She looked a lot at the jails.

[petitehands]

Jails? [ she thinks about it. ] Not exactly inaccurate, to say the least.

[hulk]

Yeah, with— Obviously. Which would just be kind of... Miserable and terrible aren't surprising for that place, obviously, but. Still.

[drank]

Gotta stay on top of all that social media, sweetheart.

[petitehands]

Right? I just realised that I really want to share with the rest of the world what I had for lunch last Tuesday. You just can't say no to these urges.

[ shut up tony ]

[drank]

Pastrami? Pastrami and yogurt? See, you can't keep me guessing — inquiring minds have got to know. Instagram. It is decreed.

[petitehands]

[ mock-thoughtfully, ]

On the other hand, maintaining the suspense is also appealing. We all need our secrets, after all.

[drank]

[ In the same tone of voice: ] Very Carmen Sandiego of you.

[petitehands]

She's always been a role model, even if I can't get away with wearing that shade of red.

[dio_brando]

I had to have my mundane tell me what an 'instagram' was, human ingenuity goes the most useless directions------

[ he's just dissappointed it's not a stand he hadn't heard of]

[petitehands]

Any excuse to further the endless list of ways in which to waste time.

[geotactics]

It's a little weird.

[petitehands]

[ she arches her brows. ]

A little.
