On Wake plotting for Feb

[adarkfallenstar]

Mundane, you cannot pretend to be surprised with this upcoming turn of events.

Were it not awful enough that I have consumed-unbeknownst to me-secondhand skeleton saliva infected with nanites....in the form of contaminated peppermints!

No, no, you can't stop there. You have to get my hopes up with Rex telling me that "I only have a few thousand of the little things inside me, but that they probably won't activate and that I probably won't turn into a slathering, rampaging beast.

But you are going to do it anyway.

And a bat.

How original of you Mundane.

[sarcasm.]

I see what you did there.

[adarkfallenstar]

You would?

[He knows she can handle herself, so he won't insult her with the insinuation that his mutated self could cause her harm.]

It... It is a little unsettling for me to think about is all.

[How does one become that, exactly? He doesn't really want to ask Rex. He has a feeling he won't like the answer.]

It is certainly going to be...different.

[He won't have his wits about him, his sense of control. What is that?]

[bycupid]

Only natural curiosity. Surely you've done the same.

[ Darkstar you have conquered the workings of the female mind. Well. At least this one. ]

Unsettling, perhaps...

You don't truly know someone until you've witnessed them doing what you'd assume they'd never do.

If that makes any sense.

[adarkfallenstar]

I can't deny that, Lovely.

[He cocks his head to the side, pondering her words.]

I suppose you have a point. You have an enlightening perspective on this.]

[bycupid]

Make it fun. You'll be able to fly, after all.

[adarkfallenstar]

I'm sure I'll be able to get the drop on someone...or two.

I have missed flying.

I'm certain the experience won't be pleasant, but it might not be unbearable if I really don't know what I am supposed to be while I am that, well, thing.

[bycupid]

Precisely. You could fly before? Now I'm jealous.

[adarkfallenstar]

[The purple flush graces his cheeks again for a moment.]

Well, yes.

When the circumstances are right, I can.

They just...aren't right very often.

[He shakes his head.]

But...wings make that point moot, anyway.

[bycupid]

I shall have to bother you when they are.

[ She's being cheeky, but flying. Swimming and flying are quite different things. ]

[adarkfallenstar]

[Smile.]

Yes, you shall.

I imagine you'll be one of the first to know.

time for worrrrrrk

[bycupid]

[ Cheeky is now a slightly more wicked, but sincere smile. Excited! ]

Thank you. I'd like that.

Have fun!

[adarkfallenstar]

Yes, well...

First I have to get through this upcoming...phase.

guhhhh /dead

[bycupid]

Sure enough.

[ She smiles. ]

It couldn't be that hard. Not for you.

[adarkfallenstar]

Let us hope so, then, lovely Tamara.

I should hate to disappoint.

[bycupid]

Impossible.

By far you've only disappointed me once, and we righted that situation quite quickly. At least I thought so.

[adarkfallenstar]

It was when you flipped me out of the boat, wasn't it?

[bycupid]

Correct.

A rather stern friend with a stern memory.

OMG, I love these two so much

[adarkfallenstar]

[He nods.]

You were quite cross with me, not that I didn't deserve it at the time.

me too. ; u; back to work for me though. :c

[bycupid]

Not quite. But a little.

You haven't seen quite cross, not yet at least.

[adarkfallenstar]

Well, a little. Enough to flip me into cold water.

I hope I don't ever bring your wrath down upon me.

[bycupid]

The feeling is mutual.

Well, sincere wrath, at least. Though I'm sure you'd rather pout.

[ Back to teasing, she is. ]

[adarkfallenstar]

It happens sometimes.

[He is still a teenager? After all.]
