Voice Testing - Homeless...Maybe Luceti?

[misspopularity]

Now hold your horses, Mundane. You and I both know well enough that you're prone to biting off more than you can chew. First you've got that giant application you have to work through, and then the fact that Scottis there...

I mean, are you sure you are ready for that pressure? After all that you've been through the past few months? I know you're thinking of me, and I appreciate that--but you really need to think of yourself once in a while.

...besides...I don't even know if he...well, as long as we're friends, that's ok, right?

But yeah, I totally understand. Practically everyone's there, and it just doesn't feel right to be left out of it, does it?

Yeah...it just feels awful.

[Wow, Bobby grew up well. Huh.]

All the cool people, huh? So is that an invite or a "keep out"?

[coolestguyaround]

Like you'd never qualify as being cool in any universe. You and I were definitely the two coolest members of the original team in mine.

I was hoping to go to that Luceti place this month too, but my mun decided that now was the perfect time to become lazy. Where are your powers when I need them?

[misspopularity]

Original team? You and me?

[So wait, is Bobby closer to her age here?]

Well, if it's any consolation, my 'Mun's getting married in two weeks, so I probably won't be over there until April, myself. [Small shrug.] Maybe we'll arrive together?

[coolestguyaround]

Yeah, in my world the original team was you, me, Scott, Hank, and Warren. I was pretty much the little brother of the group since you guys were older. [He shakes his head and then pouts.] I mean, I'm 18 now and I'm still treated like the kid of the group. I take it things were different in your world?

Good luck to your Mun with the whole marriage thing!

[misspopularity]

Somehow, I doubt your age is to blame for how you're treated, Bobby. [Always the cut-up.]

Doesn't sound like they were all too different. Though Dr. McCoy was a teacher where we're at.

[coolestguyaround]

[He gives her a completely innocent look.] Jean, are you implying that my behavior is the reason behind me being treated like a kid? I'll have you know that I'm offended you would think such a thing!

[He finally lets out the laugh that he was trying to hold in.] Okay, you might be on to something there, but I'm not as bad as I use to be. Besides, I had to find some way to remind you guys that I was around.

Hank's a teacher? That's not surprising. So, do kids fall asleep during his class when he rambles on about who knows what?

[misspopularity]

Well, I'm usually so enthralled with what the Dr. has to say, I don't pay attention to what others are doing around me.

[Perfect teacher's pet answer.]

[coolestguyaround]

Uh-huh, like I'm going to believe that. The only person that can be enthralled with Hank's lectures is Hank himself because he's the only one that knows exactly what he's talking about.

What's next, Jean? You going to tell me that Scott is the funniest guy you know?

[misspopularity]

[Scott has his moments!]

Bobby. I'm persuasive, but I'm not a liar. [Side smirk.] Besides, I can't have you getting jealous of him.

[coolestguyaround]

[Nope. He refuses to believe that.]

Well, that's good to know. If you had said yes then I would've had to give some serious thought to becoming a hermit who lives in an ice-shack in the Arctic. [Because Scott being funnier than him? Totally a valid reason to embrace the idea of hermitage.]

[misspopularity]

What on earth would you do with yourself all alone with no one to prank on?

[She lets him think on that for a moment with a congratulatory smirk.] So, you're eighteen now? I guess you'd be older than me, if you were to head to this place.

[coolestguyaround]

Well, if Scott's going to be the funny one then it's only fair that I try to pick up the slack when it comes to the brooding, right? Then again, there's no other single person in the galaxy that can brood like Scott Summers, so I think I'll leave it to the pro.

I'm older, huh? So, does this mean I would have a chance? [He gives her a smirk of his own and winks.] I mean, I know it must be hard for you to resist all this. [He's joking of course, because the idea of flirting with any version of his not!big sister is just too weird.]

[misspopularity]

Oh, well, [Jean feigns a scoff.] I wouldn't want you to feel like you'd have to accommodate me, Bobby.

[Besides, she likes broody types.]
