momchester finally made a bb account

[minifridge]

You know they're just icons, right? [Mary brushes her hair out of her eyes and stares unimpressed into the... wherever it is she's looking.] There's really no need to obsess.

[She rolls her eyes and scoffs in an... incredibly teenage way.]

I don't even know why you made this account. It's not like there's a point. [squaring her shoulders determinedly, self-consciously aware that she looks a little silly.] My life will be way too boring for you to write anything about and that's just fine with me. Got it?

Comments

[failedparenting]

[Oh Christ, she's so young. One look at her and John's swept away in his memories, most of them not apprppriate to recount in polite company.]

Your life'll be anything but boring, I promise you.

[minifridge]

[Oh look, a hunter. She loves those. Still, no reason to be rude. She offers him a tight smile.]

I'm sorry, do I know you?

[He looks familiar, which could be a good thing or a bad thing. Given the weirdo comments about her ~life, she's leaning towards bad.]

[failedparenting]

[He smiles at her sadly. Of course she wouldn't recognize him, he's got 30 years on the John she knows.]

No, you don't. You never will, thank god.

[minifridge]

[ . . .

Well. That settles that. Not.

She stares at him, eyebrows slowly raising higher and higher as she regards him, various senses tingling, both Spidey and otherwise.]

Right. Okay. [Cryptic is always bad. Cryptic and being recognized usually ends in violence.] What is that supposed to mean, exactly?

somebody in this post needs a refrigerator-themed username, damnit

[fridgetothefire]

What's it like?

hdu insult the beatles tho

[minifridge]

What do you mean?

I'M NOT I SWEAR I just loved minifridge and fridge references in general okay

[fridgetothefire]

What's it like having a - boring life.

[She almost said 'having a life'.]

i did too but the beatles win all ;a;

[minifridge]

...I don't know yet.

this is true

[fridgetothefire]

Oh yeah?

[She grins a little, tentative, curious. Go on Mary, tell her more.]

[minifridge]

Unfortunately.

[She just shrugs. Not that she wouldn't love to spill, but rules are rules.]

But I'm going to get away, I know I am.

[magnetic_magpie]

[The sweater and the jacket only partly hide his heavy build, and the lean against the wall doesn't camouflage the relaxed-alert set of his shoulders. His hands are battle scarred. Dressed up nice or no, Magneto is a warrior and he cares the presence of a man used to being in charge, used to danger and violence, and yet is so very calm.]

Mundanes will obsess over everything. Including lives others might deem boring. I find that if a mundane is involved, however, those who catch their interest are far from boring.

[fridgetothefire]

Controlling parents?

[the MOST sympathetic]

[minifridge]

[A hint of a smile.] You could say that. My dad has all these ideas for me- they both do. They want me to live a certain life and the only way out I can see is to just run away.

[minifridge]

[Mary glances him over, because being observant is a habit, but makes a testy "tcchhh" sound.]

Well, she's wrong. Maybe my life was interesting before, but I won't let it go on. She can't write me if I'm happy and normal.

[magnetic_magpie]

[His mouth quirks, a smirk, but it's soft. Amused, rather than cruel.]

Before influences everything. We can never walk away from our pasts - it's part of who we are.

Besides, do you believe she will let you stay that way?

[minifridge]

[He sounds incredibly confident in himself, and it bothers her. She crosses her arms over her chest and looks him over again.]

You sound like my dad. [Not in a good way.]

[magnetic_magpie]

[He's lived to sixty, twice, and ruled a good chunk of the world. He is incredibly confident.]

I have it on semi-decent authority all fathers tend to sound alike after a while.

[fridgetothefire]

[so soft, almost a whisper, like she's afraid to say it out loud, even here]

I'd love to run away.

spah in the base

[gonnabite]

And I thought this woman was bad about the icon thing.

[axemeaquestion]

Ooh. [LOW WHISTLE.] Shit, sweetie, I am still too young to be feeling this old around you of all people.

And muns have a thing for obsessing over icons. Don't ask me why, the hell if I could ever find out.

[minifridge]

[Forget the icons, who the hell are you.]

I'm sorry, do I know you?

[minifridge]

[Now Mary's hunter senses are tingling- or at least the sense that can tell when someone needs help. She steps forward, putting a hand on the girl's shoulder gently, all gentle touches and open ears.]

What do you want to run from?

[fridgetothefire]

[She tenses, immediately tries to hide it, but can't quite relax. She laughs, a weak huff of breath. Gosh, she's such a silly little girl, what is she even talking about, it's probably not important.]

Nothing. It's just my Dad.

aww yeah

[minifridge]

She might be, but mine's bad, too. She spent an hour choosing fifteen icons, then half an hour changing the colors on just one!

[minifridge]

[Of course that doesn't change anything. Parents can be the worst monsters of all.]

If I tell you how my life is weird, will you tell me?
