graduate culinary school, binge on pc re games

[ex_pectorals719]

You're putting a lot of your hours into a number of things at once. Take it easy, will ya'? Work's one thing, but spending a little too much time either at the gym or gaming is another.

Even things out a bit before you go and stress about anything else. No cheat days on your gains, either. And ease up on those shakes, by the whey.

Those fruits are for your tortes and crepes, you know.

Maybe you should take your own advice, while you're at it.

Not entirely sold on protein gel yet. Especially not when it comes in nacho flavor.

[ex_pectorals719]

Ouch. I'll bump it up my list and think on it.

[ you can almost hear his traps flexing at the corny jokes. honhonhon. ]

Look at it this way, least it makes squeezing over a bowl of chips easier. Not sure if I'm looking forward to the idea of cubed peanut butter and bananas, though.

[torsion]

I'm just saying you should take it easy for a while.

[ Convenient, how it's not a "we" and she appears to be exempt from that statement. She does not actively acknowledge the jokes since that will just spur him on.

Even if they're kinda cute. ]

I'm pretty sure the chips will also be gooey cubes. [ Her nose twitches at the thought of all this awful food. At least there's variety in the flavors? ] At least the texture isn't too different. Bet it won't even stick to the roof of your mouth.

[ex_pectorals719]

Think the same applies to you, too. 'specially after that month's worth of training.

[ he'd further dig his own grave by commenting on how different she looks. less pale, more full looking (for the better), and not so emaciated. or maybe wesker likes his lil worker bees to be rail-thin. groce. ]

Sounds appetizing already. [ expression pinching at the thought and taste. ] That, and most likely pressed between two stale slices maybe. What's the deal with space food, anyway?

[ yeah, he went there. ]

[torsion]

It wasn't that bad. I exercised restraint where and when possible.

[ He would, but hasn't. Small favors and all that -- though at a different time and different place, she might appreciate hearing that. It isn't until she stands in front of a mirror and wonders who that skinny thing is that she feels self-conscious.

Too bad she was going to dye her hair the next morning, too. Oh well. ]

I wouldn't get my hopes up for bread, from what I gather. [ Yeah, she chuckles a bit because she thinks it is funny. How embarrassing. ] I'll let you know when I've become an expert. This is the kind of stuff I remember seeing on late night television when I couldn't sleep.

[ex_pectorals719]

Hope you feel as good as you look from it. [ it's as close as he can get to vocalizing it, really. the blonde is still jarring, but something he could look past when it came to worrying about her well-being. ] Good job.

[ protein cubes and teriyaki gel, tho. ]

Just don't get too used to it, I guess. Hear things shape up whenever a cook joins your crew, so here's to hoping for ya'.

[torsion]

Ah, well. [ She shrugs, puts her hand to her nape and massages it some with her fingers. ] Honestly, anything after the past three years has had me feeling better. I think I just need time now.

[ She'll stick with flavorless, if that's a thing. Or maybe if they have jell-o flavored ones. The combination of texture and flavor might not bother her so much that way. ]

That so? Guess I should start preparing for my stomach to churn. When it comes to things I'm hoping for, I think I'll have to go with you and I being on the same ship. [ After four weeks being separated, she isn't too keen on a repeat of that. ] We've already spent enough time apart, as it is.

[ex_pectorals719]

I hope things keep up, too, outside of finishing your debt and getting the most views.

[ huffing past a lopsided smile, even at the thought of freeze dried ice cream or a floating hamburger. it'd be a little sad if she came out of the space show used to bad food, at least it gave him a reason to return the (future) favor of steaks with a grill out of his own. ]

I'm with you on that, but you know what those type of shows usually go for. Switching things up on occasion or throwing a curve ball outta nowhere, from what Claire tells me at least. [ and that's all he knows. ] Never thought I'd see the two of us on reality show, let alone in space.

[torsion]

I'd like to think the work we did counted toward something back home. [ Or, at least the time they've spent together. Hopefully that would reflect in their future. ] As for the views, I think I could be alright with low ratings. I don't make for that exciting of a protagonist.

[ Too straightforward, not enough knee-jerk reactions and dramatic responses. Hopefully they won't shove her somewhere with a group of bad personalities just to change that. Food isn't something she's worried about now, not after their eggscellent adventure anyway. ]

Just about any show, right? I can't say that I really get it, but now's a good time to start learning the tools of the trade. [ There is an annoyed lilt to it all, a dismiss wave of her hand, curving her fingers with it ending on her hip. ] At this point, it's starting to feel less like a fever dream. Hopefully there's something to take away from the experience -- other than frustration.

[president_evil]

[Really, Christopher? Really?]

Well, I suppose not everything can change, can it?

[ex_pectorals719]

[ for realises, much like the tacky set of syllables put as an extension of his name right now. aw ye. ]

Change what exactly? Don't tell me you stress about baking eclairs for a living, too.

[president_evil]

You put all that effort into puffing yourself up, but miss the one muscle that could have used the attention the most.

[Can you feel the disappointment in his tongue cluck? Tsk, tsk, tsk.]

[ex_pectorals719]

[ the slew of insults after rockfort was nothing new, though he tries not to roll his eyes during the exchange. specific reactions to specific insults, though this was a little uninspired. much like his own insults, but maybe he'd missed the sickburn in this case. ]

And here I thought you'd be a little more flattered. [ don't be jealous of my boogie, stringbean matrix senpai. all these gains were for improved arm wrestling matches against ya. ] I'll take that as encouragement. Better the next thing I work on, I suppose.

[president_evil]

[What, does he look like a 12-year-old girl?]

Better hurry, neither Umbrella nor your convict friends are making their cells any bigger.

[ex_pectorals719]

[ kinda. depends on the lighting. ]

Never knew building an organization from the ground up was something to call us convicts over. [ at least he's a somewhat proud of the bsaa, being un backed is pretty sweet. ] Still, the name calling isn't new. Sorta comes with the territory of standing agasint you and Umbrella.

[president_evil]

I was speaking of your other.

The one who managed to find himself on the other-side of the bars while on duty at a prison during the burning of Los Angeles. The one who, after managing to talk his way into release, was then promptly captured by Umbrella.

How he managed that long into the apocalypse is truly a wonder.

[ex_pectorals719]

My 'other' is one way of putting it.

[ is this resident evil or prison break? will wentworth miller ever be the jail breaker and reigning champ at this years summer slam? find out next season. either way, his other self doesn't sound all that similar to him at all. ]

While I'm not above skirting the law, or orders, especially when something needs to be done—I'm sure he'd manage. He's a Redfield. I guess.

[ weird. ]

[president_evil]

The you that joined me in new world of Panem didn't, unfortunately.

[So many Chrises, so little time.]

Broke a few too many rules, made a few too many waves. They were picking pieces of him out of the arena for days.

[ex_pectorals719]

Least I know not to believe any word that comes out of you, aside from your cheesy evil plans.

[ using those smarts of his, holla. making small with another wesker was a new one, however. nice to know he was still pretty blatant and showy across the multiverse. ]

You're gonna have to be more convincing than that.

[president_evil]

What do I have to gain by lying? Especially here, or there as it were, of all places?

I was in the same boat at he -- stolen away from my home universe, with so much left to do...

[That pot of plague left bubbling on the proverbial stove was Alice's problem now.]

[ex_pectorals719]

Not a whole lot, I'm sure. Though I'd sooner sit down and have a serious talk if you were more in cuffs and behind bars.

[ wesker didn't deserve much sympathy from him. pity, maybe, but trust was out of the question. ]

The Wesker I know left that sort of impression on me, sorry to say.

[glimpseoftruth]

[Alyssa barely manages to keep from chuckling. She covers it up with a cough.]

"By the whey"? That's a terrible pun.

[ex_pectorals719]

I dunno, I'd go a little farther and say it was eggscellent.

[ stop him. ]

[glimpseoftruth]

[Okay, that one makes her laugh. Just a little.]

Did you take joke lessons from Ryman or something? Heh. So, does your little mun have any ideas on where they're going to drag your punny butt to?

[ex_pectorals719]

[ wow, he wishes he were as suave lookin' as kevin. in other costumes, maybe. just not really. ]

Never knew making puns could be a skill that needed to be taught. [ there's the embarrassment kicking in. being hideously corny is in the blood, or so he thought. ] Spent a few months in a game already, worked off a debt, and now it's back to a matter of looking around.

[ what a stellar first impression. ]

Any luck with looking on your end?

[glimpseoftruth]

[Yeah, but Kevin can't punch dudes in the face quite like you, Chris. Keep your chin up.]

I'm just teasing! Honestly, it's a good thing. A little levity goes a long way. [Bad jokes: it's a thing.]

Mnn. No luck yet. She's so busy wringing her hands about not having enough to work with. You'd think Raccoon City would be enough for credentials, but nope.

[ex_pectorals719]

It's a little hard to throw bad jokes in front a reporter. Wouldn't wanna say something out of line and have come back as a headline.

[ he continues to tease in return, but this time it's more an attempt to rein it in. 2serious. any mention of raccoon city gets him to switch gears fast enough. ]

No plans for a vacation then?

[glimpseoftruth]

Well, you know how it goes. If it's on the record, you've got to run with it. That's just the breaks; I'm sure you understand, since you were a cop and all.

[Alyssa winks conspiratorially at Chris.]

I could use one! And if I never see another zombie again, it'll be too soon.

[ex_pectorals719]

[ wow, he doesn't know whether to feel threatened or a lil scurred. maybe because she could probably deadlift as much as him, yas. this is why he was never allowed near the press to begin with, and which is prolly why he's a lil more tight-lipped now. the wink slays him, though, which is why he ignores it. what do.... ]

Sounds like you're asking trouble, and having it follow a little close behind. [ slowly, with a lot of groaning noises. ] Still, Raccoon takes a lot out of everyone, which is why I asked.

[glimpseoftruth]

[She spent the entire zombie apocalypse running around in heels, brah. Compared to that and fighting a Tyrant, this ain't no big thing to her. Alyssa's grin grows a tiny bit before she laughs.]

Oh, don't worry about me. I know my way around a gun or two. [Her smile softens, becomes a little wistful.] Maybe... maybe an island vacation. With little chunks of fruit in the drinks and cute guys in swimsuits.

[moonbitten]

That does sound like a good advice. I hope your Mun'll listen.

[ex_pectorals719]

Yeah, think the pun really sold it. And, thanks.

[moonbitten]

You look like the kind of guy whom work out a lot. [Smiles] So I'm sure you know what you talk about. I play Lacrosse myself.

[ex_pectorals719]

From first impressions, sure. [ being close to forty and keeping fit (aka being a jacked bodybuilder in a world of zombies) is one thing, but having a kid blatantly call him out on it is another. still, he shoots the other his own half-smirk in return. ] That right? Is it as any rough as football or rugby like they say?

[ his knowledge on sports only goes so far as high school. like wrasslin, foobaw, or baesball. you kids and your cool guy sports, tho. ]

[moonbitten]

[Scott hadn't mean anything bad with it. His brain sometimes just doesn't connect properly.] Yeah it can get rough. A kid I know broke his leg in a match at one point. [A kid he later turned into a werewolf accidentally. His world's not full of zombies but it's bad enough.]

Did you play any sport in high school?

[ex_pectorals719]

[ it's all good, better to hear it from a kid than his arch-nemesis any day. though the teenwulfs would be a shocker, surprisingly enough. ]

Wasn't expecting to hear that.. Hope they're doing all right, at least. [ that sounds intense. ] As for me? Never had the time to put it towards anything extra curricular, unfortunately. Unless you can count hacky sack.

[ founding an organization had him on standby for a few months. another useless talent of his. that, and taking care of his sister took priority over anything else. ]

[moonbitten]

Yeah, they're better now. [A lot better actually. Fully healed in just a few minutes even.]

That's cool. Not everyone has the time. Epically if you want top grades. I had to catch up over summer or I would have failed my grade. I've never played hacky sack though.

[ex_pectorals719]

Glad to hear it. Make sure you don't go breaking any of your bones trying to chuck a ball towards a net.

[ lesson learned: lacrosse is pretty eggstreme. ]

Keep on top of things, then. Graduating on time is pretty important. [ wow, he's never had talks like this in a long time. now he's feeling a bit old ayooo ] Unless you wanna say goodbye to another two months of summer.

[moonbitten]

We was defending the goal but yeah I'd learn a lesson there to be more careful. It's a rough game.

I'll try to. It's easy to get side-tracked and distracted though. But but summer school sucked so I'll try to avoid that.

[infectant]

Ah, Chris.

Mindlessly idealistic, as usual.

[ex_pectorals719]

Try realistic.

Is there something you want from me, Wesker? Or am I gonna have to sit here and listen to more of your cheap insults?
