goodbye season two of a good show - hello new muse

[afieldsmedal]

Okay, I literally just got Peter out of my head, so I don't need you or anyone else trying to prod around up there.

Now... stop!

Preferably while you're ahead. Because you might think you're pretty witty, but I'm still smarter than you, which is going to make it pretty difficult to 'write me' or - whatever, make me a part of your lame hobby - and if you're going to keep making fun of me in your head you should know I can hear you.

I'm in here too.

[ bleh bleh of the 'now pay me the proper attention a lady of my caliber deserves bleh' variety. ]

Okay? Okay.

[misjudge]

I don't think she cares. [ and thank you, captain obvious. ]

[afieldsmedal]

[ of the award winning obvious club. this diagnosis is unappreciated though. and obviously so. ] She's going to learn to, then.

[misjudge]

[ a shrug. but hey, at least he looks curious. ] Yeah? How?

[afieldsmedal]

I don't know yet. [ and as if that's too much of an admission, it's followed quickly by a dismissive; ] That's not much of your business anyway. Worry about your own.

[misjudge]

I don't have anything to worry about. [ barring the ship filled with monsters, but who's keeping track? he quirks a brow with a press of his lips. ] But you should know that whether or not you want to be a part of her "lame hobby", you're pretty much stuck.

[ex_question191]

She's, uh. She's making fun of you?

[afieldsmedal]

She keeps laughing - [ maniacally ] - ...but not any more than she does at you or anyone else.

[afieldsmedal]

Stuck? [ because reiterating his words an octave higher and five percent more shrill is going to make them less true. they're registering as pretty realistic. ] -... Are you stuck?

[ex_question191]

It's normal to laugh at me. I'm like, a freaking comedy genius.

[afieldsmedal]

Laughing with you is different than laughing at you.

[ex_question191]

Hey, I didn't say it was intentional comedy.

But I don't see why she'd laugh at you.

[afieldsmedal]

I don't see why, either. When she's done, I've quite a few words for her.

[ex_question191]

[ wow he wouldn't want to be in her shoes. though he's smart enough not to actually say that. ]

Maybe she's just crazy or something.

[afieldsmedal]

Great, because that's so much better than a giggle fit.

[sassiopath]

They all believe they're smarter than we are. It's part of their mental issues, which they all seem to have.

Good luck with teaching yours respect.

[afieldsmedal]

[ wonderful; now she's had two people with what are arguably mental issues all up in her head. ]

Yes, well... If I'm stuck here, I have plenty of time to try.

[sassiopath]

Oh you'll certainly have plenty of time. Right until they send you to some place with zombies or murderers or whatever gets them going. Plenty of time.

[afieldsmedal]

Zombies? Rotting dead bodies with their arms falling off, hungry for brains, zombies? Are they real, too, now?

[sassiopath]

Well, not that I've seen but these people that do this to us? They find places like that. Send you off to play hero or villain or whatever they're looking for.

[afieldsmedal]

That's not going to happen.

[sassiopath]

That's going to go over as well as telling me no.

[misjudge]

Yeah, I am. [ and with that, both of his brows climb as he considers just how upfront he really wants to be. ] Except I've managed to land a ticket for the cruise ship from Hell.

[ funny how he says that like he's commenting on the weather. ]

[afieldsmedal]

[ ...oh. point made - not necessarily taken, because she's no intention of giving up that easily, but certainly made. a truth accented by the brief pause and audible swallow. ]

Then...I won't be telling anyone no. There are more subtle methods of persuasion than that.

[afieldsmedal]

Now, are you just using figurative language or is the boat really from Hell? A cruise could still be nice, even if you're sailing through the fiery lakes of eternal damnation. [ nice, provided there aren't too many zombies there, which is an interesting fate to ponder. just as interesting as the weather. ]

[ but you know what suddenly garners her interest and attention more than atmospheric small talk? ] Have you ever been on a normal cruise, Lahey?

[sassiopath]

[He does have good points from time to time. More often than most want to admit.]

As well I know. They've served me well, haven't they?
