On a reserve at DDD

[ms_potts]

You're going to "stick me somewhere"?! That sounds like you're going to, uh, I don't know, pick me up and put me on a shelf. That's not a very flattering description, don't you think? Can't you say that you're "sending" me somewhere or something like that?

Oh and don't you start being indecisive, now. It's new, yes, but that's never stopped you before, has it? Just take the night off to relax and collect your thoughts, you have plenty of time tomorrow to take care of everything you need to do. Yes, including that application. Trust me. If I can manage Tony's schedule I think I can handle yours.

Oh, geez, she's doin' it again? You gotta be kiddin' me over here, Pep. After that nice party, all the fun we had? Well. I had?

You must've had at least some fun, though, yeah? Like, oh, I dunno. Forty percent fun? Minimum?

[trickstering]

You will be joining us, then?

[ms_potts]

Oh this time it's simply the uncertainty of the unknown.

[She smirks, raising an eyebrow] Just forty percent? Well, at least it's up from twelve.

y halo thar threadjack

[rockstark]

Both of us.

Stock up on clean underwear.

[ms_potts]

[Oh look, it's the guy who fits the imprint in her floor.]

It seems that way, yes. She's just got to spare herself some time to actually work on the application.

yes good go team

[trickstering]

Wonderful.

[rockstark]

Like that's ever stopped her before. Certain cases in point are pushing the keys as we speak.

Hey, come on. I give you more credit for fun than I do for ideas on default. It's simple numbers. You're just as capable of having fun as me. You're not as capable of being ridiculously brilliant.

[rockstark]

Isn't it, though. You must be one of those quietly enthusiastic types. By the way, never got around to asking you, last time: your mom pick that outfit for you, or did you just order it from PretentiousCosplay dot com?

[trickstering]

[you know what. shhh.]

Do you expect she will find the time to do so, then?

[ms_potts]

Seeing as she has the day off from work tomorrow? I would assume so.

Why? [Now she's suspicious, dude] Are you that anxious for us to arrive?

[trickstering]

Is this what the future holds, then? Meaningless insults without substance?

[rockstark]

Well, it could. Or it could be that my mun's pouring most of her brainpower into my ridiculously long and illustrious history in another window.

But I don't really wanna spoil the surprise.

[trickstering]

It might be slightly more interesting than the people who are usually around.

[ms_potts]

Oh she's well aware and has no intention of letting it stop her. There's a certain allure to the learning process, after all, once the nerves pass.

[She crosses her arms, cocking her head at him] I seem to recall a certain someone calling me a genius.

[trickstering]

How long and illustrious could your history possibly be?

[ms_potts]

Now is that more a comment on me or the people around you?

[trickstering]

The latter - though I suppose my mun's excitement helps suggest it as well.

[6collegecredits]

I can promise you that the community is nothing like being put on a shelf.

[ms_potts]

[She smiles]

If my own mun's reaction is any indication I don't think you'll have very long to wait. Hopefully we'll be able to make things a little more interesting for you.

Of course, knowing Tony, that would mean a large amount of alcohol and things blowing up...

[trickstering]

It sounds exciting already.

[ms_potts]

[Eyebrow]

Oh don't tell me you're already planning on something...

[ms_potts]

That's reassuring, thank you. [She smiles] Do you have any suggestions for the uninitiated?

[rockstark]

Don't even get me started on the nerves. I'm still in the process of teaching this one how to convert "aaah oh god oh god crap" into "alright, let's DO this". It's ... coming along.

And I didn't say you weren't a genius. I'm just saying that comparatively, I'm more of one. You can't argue with that. You just can't. Go on, try it. Tell me how far you get.

[trickstering]

I'm not really in a position to be "planning" on anything at the moment, but perhaps in the future. Explosions can be useful.

[ms_potts]

How far? [She just smiles and walks over, kissing him on the cheek] Twelve percent.

[She chuckles] Between the two of them we've got our work cut out for us, don't we?
