mun just saw the peter reserve.

[raisedtobe]

You've tried this before, mun. What makes you think this time is going to go any different? Just because you've got me settled into that little Steampunker's wet dream doesn't mean you can handle me in two places at once. So just step away from that tab and let's just forget you even thought about it, okay?

And don't make me go hard-ass on you; you know you'll just regret it.

By 'hard-ass,' do you mean crying in a corner or just ruffling your feathers like some kind of overgrown electric bird?

[raisedtobe]

I could try waving some pom-poms in her face instead, if you think that will be more effect.

[adamantined]

Only if you really put some effort into it. Throw in a back tuck or, even better, some spirit fingers.

[raisedtobe]

[ She rolls her eyes. ] Or I'll just leave the looking like an idiot option to you. I'm sure you'd do it better than I ever could, anyway.

[adamantined]

In the grand scheme of things, I'm okay with playing idiotic cheerleader rather than psycho killer. But I guess we've always just had different priorities. Have yours changed much in Adventureland?

[raisedtobe]

Maybe, maybe not. I don't really see how that's any of your business, though.

[adamantined]

You have a bad habit of making it my business, usually.

[raisedtobe]

Considering you're not even there, I don't really see the point this time.

[adamantined]

Are you trying to say you miss me or something? Don't be weird.

[raisedtobe]

Don't flatter yourself, Cheerleader.

[adamantined]

When it comes to you, flattering myself is the last thing I'd want to do.

[raisedtobe]

Ouch. [ She moves a hand to her chest. ] I'm crushed. Didn't Daddy ever teach you that words hurt?

[adamantined]

[adamantined]

Didn't yours? Or was he just too busy grooming you?

[raisedtobe]

He didn't groom me.

[adamantined]

I guess you're right. I doubt he could cut a fringe that straight.

[raisedtobe]

[ Not exactly what she meant but: ] Exactly.

So is your mun doing anything with you, or does she just let you out to annoy people whenever she's bored?

[adamantined]

[Not exactly what Claire meant either, but at least they'll be on the same page.]

I don't really see how it's any of your business.

[adamantined]

I'm in transit. Whatever that means. Floating around, I guess. I just left -

[raisedtobe]

[ She scoffs at the first comment but might... actually look mildly amused? Is that possible with Claire? ]

I've been there. It sucks. [ Not that Anatole's much better. ]

[adamantined]

[She is a secret comedian! Well, she thinks her jokes are funny...]

It's not like I don't have experience with not being in one place for very long. Which I'm sure you know all about. [The Company being the big reason she had to keep moving, after all.] What's with the steampunk wet dream?

[raisedtobe]

That doesn't mean I like being tossed around by my mun, though. [ The Company was different. Sort of. ] It's this crappy little city that looks like some Victorian-obsessed freak created. [ The water's not even drinkable in her apartment. ] It's a huge step back as far as technology goes and it's got this... mist that messes with people.

[adamantined]

Are you sure you didn't just get really high while playing a video game?

[raisedtobe]

Yes, I'm sure.

[adamantined]

[It's worth asking. She knows what Lyle's like.]

The last place I was... How did you end up there?
