on his max-less existence at counted_stars & his app to singularityrpg

[im_apimp]

Okay, first of all -- I don't need a Max. I've managed to make it so far without one, and I think I've done pretty well. Okay, kissing Caroline aside, but I think I handled the fall out of that very well. He only punched me once.

Besides, Caroline and Tyler are basically a smarter version of Max and Logan. Sure they bottle up their feelings and are just as repressed most of the time, but at least they have the common sense to act on their attraction to each other and not just dance around each other and say that they're "not like that." I think if they did, Tyler punching me would have pissed me off a whole lot more.

That kiss also probably would have been more than what it was.





... Oh my God, this is not why I need a chaperone. Especially not a violent one.

Besides, I'm going to that space station where Max is already there, and Peter is too. So ... there I'll have more chaperones than I know what to do with. You should at least be happy about that one.

Also, can we talk about this space trend? Not that I'm complaining, given the last place you sent me to had no modern technology at all, but don't you think this switch up is a bit extreme? You could just send me somewhere in the middle.

Like, I don't know, home maybe? Just a thought.

Someone's been busy.

[im_apimp]

Keeping busy keeps me out of trouble. Most of the time, anyway. Occasionally it gets me into trouble, but that rarely ever happens.

[that would be a lie]

[resuming]

Rarely? Do I need to remind you we met at the very top of a building, led there by trouble?

[ A pause. ] Who's Max? And you kissed Caroline?

[im_apimp]

Hey now, that was your trouble, not mine. You were the one hanging off it.

Max is a friend from home. She likes to think she's the boss of me. And ... yeah, I kissed Caroline. But you know her. Can you blame me?

[revvedup]

'Think'? I know it.

[im_apimp]

I thought the whole point of breaking us out of Manticore was to give us our own autonomy.

[revvedup]

Well, when you stop doing dangerous, idiotic things, you can have your own autonomy.

[im_apimp]

I have not done dangerous idiotic things in a very long time.

[revvedup]

You just mentioned getting punched.

[ BY A WEREWOLF not that max knows about that. ]

[resuming]

Still trouble you ended up involved in.

I like her already. [ Another small pause. ] Not at all. Caroline's amazing. I was just surprised you knew her.

[im_apimp]

Oh yeah. She's stuck with me in Star Wars world. I ... help her out with some ... dietary restrictions.

[resuming]

[Privateee bc all the awesome threadhopping]

Helping her out is great. I'm glad she has people to help her, but she's dating Tyler.

You just finished saying you like to keep out of trouble.

private forever

[im_apimp]

I know she's dating Tyler. It's why I let him punch me for it. I'm not planning on getting in-between them.

She loves him, not me, and I'm not a home wrecker.

this

[resuming]

[ boo, she wanted to be indignant now that she figured out canon points and it wasn't when tyler and caroline were broken up. still, there is a look on her face. ]

Okay. I believe you. Just be a good friend to her.

[suitable]

[ This face. ]

[im_apimp]

[the innocent face to end all innocent faces]

What?

[suitable]

[ Please, Alec, do you really think he'll go for that? ]

You know what.

[im_apimp]

If I'm not bored, I usually don't get into trouble.

[resuming]

[ This face. ]

[im_apimp]

Why is everyone making that face at me?

[resuming]

You really need to ask?

[suitable]

Uh huh. Seems to me you get bored often enough.

[im_apimp]

Hey, at least I haven't started poking at the Sith.

[revvedup]

[ you also get this face. ]

[im_apimp]

Okay, now this is just getting ridiculous.
