It's not? Existential crisis moment right here.

[greenmeansgo]

Everything about this place is existential. Now I'm going to close my eyes, think happy thoughts, and say "I wish I may, I wish I might, please land me on a Mediterranean beach tonight".

[notbloodylikely]

Now there's a woman with her head on straight. If only I was a genie...

[greenmeansgo]

If this kid can really do whatever she wants with me, I'm going to work it to my advantage.

[notbloodylikely]

Optimistic outlook, but who knows. Just 'cos everyone else ends up weeping into their Cheerios doesnt mean the theory isn't sound.

[greenmeansgo]

I can be pretty convincing when I want to be! Let's just say I might be able to make this thing work.

[and if she can't, well... it's not like she isn't used to doing stupid things at the behest of others]

[notbloodylikely]

I can believe that. And that's a better attitude than 'this isn't happening.' I'd offer good luck but I prefer to do things without it.

[greenmeansgo]

No, "this isn't happening" is part of that attitude. It's gonna work a lot better than "I'd be ever-so-grateful if you could pretty please consider not doing anything stupid".

[notbloodylikely]

I dunno, that'd work wonders on me coming from you.

[And we have reached the flirtation portion of the evening.]

Not to say either wouldn't.

[imready]

Not even gonna give it a shot?

[greenmeansgo]

I don't do "please".

[greenmeansgo]

These games? Aren't my thing.

[imready]

Ya shouldn't say that before ya try it out!

[greenmeansgo]

Have you ever been punched with a glowing green fist?

[imready]

...Not that I can remember. I've been punched with lots of things.

[greenmeansgo]

You want to try it out?

[imready]

Okay, okay! Sheesh!

[notbloodylikely]

Look pretty pleasing to me. But like I say, you seem pretty effective.

[greenmeansgo]

There you go. Being sent to a game is like being punched in the face by me. It's avoidable, embarrassing, and is probably going to hurt.

[imready]

Avoidable, huh? How are ya planning on that one?

[greenmeansgo]

[hmmm]

[she looks him up and down]

[male, of age, muscular...]

[greenmeansgo]

[... but]

Nope. The white hair just isn't doing it for me.

And now you're assignin' me reading. Great.

[imready]

Well, good luck with that, I guess. I don't think anyone else has had it work out to their advantage.
