While I understand your reasons for wanting to explore my particular character type, I'm unsure if you'll be capable of recreating me within the parameters of your knowledge. You would require more research than just wikipedia in order to produce a convincing rendition of me. Not to mention that you're less than familiar with American English vernacular, spelling and idioms. I believe your precise words on using "zee" rather than "zed" were "it sounds stupid".

And finally, you've only watched the first season.

Are you sure you have the intellect for this? [Brennan's tone isn't even slightly apologetic.] I'm much smarter than you. Don't be insulted, I'm much smarter than most people. I'm just saying, this will be a challenge.

It would be far more rational to let me just continue on with my life. I do important work, you know. Catching criminals? Saving lives? [Her gaze turns a bit withering.] It's much more important than games.

What would I even do, stuck in some magical fantasy land? Autopsy the elves? [That's hilarious, she'll give you a moment to laugh. Done? Okay.]

I'm needed here. I have obligations, I have a partner, I have...a family. [Something in her expression softens, only for a moment.] Who knows what Booth will get himself into if I'm not there. Or Dad, what if he kills someone again? [IT COULD HAPPEN.]

Go play with your super heroes.

[Wait.] I could meet Wonder Woman?

[ She's got an eyebrow raised and her lips pressed together a little, half appraising and entirely amused. Then: ]

Look, Sweetie, I'm- flattered that you want to spend more time with me. [ Angela's choosing her words carefully, but she's also exceptionally good at carefully choosing words on the fly, so there's not much hesitation in her tone. ]

But I don't think now-- [ She lifts her hands palms-down, a 'right here' sort of gesture. ] --is a great time for either of us. Honey, you've got fifteen days until you're moving to the other end of the country. You've got boxes in the hall, and I-... Well, let's not get started on me, here.

[ A pause, and then she lets out a sigh, her shoulders falling a little with resignation. ]

Alright! You win. But please, if you have any mercy left after all of your- terrible, gruesome, fictional maiming sessions--which, by the way, I'm clinging to a little peace of mind and pretending those don't actually happen--just... do me a favor, okay? Take me from after that celibacy kick. There are certain circles of hell I'd rather not be in while you're dragging me through... y'know, other circles of hell.

No, honey, you're not listening, and I know you're skull isn't that thick.

[ ... ] I know, I know, the thickness of your skull doesn't impact on whether information you might actually listen to goes in. I've been around Brennan long enough, I could probably give you the anthropology lesson. [ A very basic and terrible one. Brennan wouldn't approve ]

Look, here's the thing. I don't care how good your intentions might be? I'm not going. And I know you paid attention when my dad kidnapped Hodgins, so let's just keep that in mind, okay?

[ Sigh ] I think I'm going to go find Brennan. Somehow I get less of a headache when she talks about bones.

No, I contest. The very definition of forgotten states that removal from memory. Your emotional attachment to me has only recently resurfaced, and while the precise reason is unknown, let us remind ourselves, and by ourselves, I actually mean you, how successful your plans with me have been thus far.

It's like the idea of season two of Firefly.

I would commend you, but failure isn't supposed to be noteworthy.

forensic

This hobby of yours - emulating the lives of other people through the medium of the internet. It's fascinating, from an anthropological perspective, to see the construction of communities and social groups that arise from a subjective evaluation of one's ability to accurately portray another person.

As tempting as it is, I'm going to have to say no. There's work to be done at the Jeffersonian, and frankly, if you've been watching me as closely as you say, then you know my feelings on psychology.

thesquintqueen

No. An absolute, unequivocal no.

I was perfectly content to be ignored by you, to be honest. We should keep it that way. I really do have better, more productive things to do with my time. You can't keep up with me intellectually, in any case, so to even try would be little more than an exercise in futility.

I'm glad we had this talk. Now leave me alone.

truthin_bones

I fail to see anything amusing in the prospect. While I am willing to admit that I would very much like to meet Booth's doppleganger, the idea of being "vamped," as you colloquially put it, is completely unappealing.

Not to mention utterly ridiculous. As a woman of science, you ought to know better than to credence to such fantasies. To think that it is even possible for a soul to be taken away, let alone replaced by a demon, is preposterous. The idea of a soul is purely a religious and philosophical construct. It is impossible for a person to lose something they never possessed.

I would advise that you quit being ridiculous and return to work. You are only wasting both our time with this line of thought and inquiry.

sweetalker

Fascinating. So you attempt to escape the dreariness and pressure of your own life by pretending to be various male characters on the internet. Yet you repeatedly specifically choose do-gooders with evolved social skills and avoid any true conflict, even in your alter-personas. More than a mere escape, this is an attempt to find meaning and fill the gaps in your own life - if your character is disliked it's alright because it isn't you, yet it's close enough for you to fret and put enormous amounts of time and work into correcting the relationship.

While this sort of escapade is not bad per-say - we all need our happy zone to keep us sane - it's not a substitute to real interpersonal relationships. I suggest that you forsake the idea of 'apping' me as you call it and focus on your real life connections.

squinting

While the prospect of studying the behavior of people torn from their home and forced to reside in a surrounding significantly unlike their own is not unappealing, I have much work to attend to in the Jeffersonian.

The presence of different monstrous species while scientifically fascinating to explore is not a decisive factor here, my field is people. You should try Hodgins, it sounds like the sort of thing that would appeal to his love of conspiracy.

Listen....Mun, is it?

I don't know which is worse... that you're thinking of tossing me into that freak show of a prison or that you let Bones go there without me.

Bit of advice. Just forget about any of your plotting or planning or whatever it is you call it, because I'm not interested. You drop me there, and I'm getting out and taking Bones with me. Capiche?

cakeorpickle

You are going with a trial and error approach with this. Commendable, but if my stylization-- or voice as you call it-- is that particular and you are that nervous with it, why attempt this when the odds of your success are so minimal given the parameters of comfort and educational level? I must remind you that you have next to no knowledge of forensic anthropology. An introductory course in anthropology your sophomore year in undergrad is not sufficient enough.

However your success is not limited to a pass or fail remark. Simply 'stretching your legs' with this post is a start. Meager, but a start nonetheless.

definedelusional

Yes, um, mun? ...Interesting way to address you. You might want to consider why you have a need to replace your name with a title....particularly one foreign to your cultural identity...

-Anyway. I understand that this need to control things, even control other people, is very natural, quite possibly the result of being a younger sibling or overbearing parents, however, I must ask that i be allowed to go back to my work. If you want we can set up a schedule to discuss your problems, but right now there are some people I really need to help on a case.

That and its a little unnerving how you managed to get me here in the first place....you are aware I work with the FBI, right?

thesquintqueen

So, you're determined to disrupt my routines and tear me away from my home, my job, my family and friends - again? Excuse me if I don't share your enthusiasm over this plan of getting abducted into another nexus that freely defies most established scientific principles and laws. Would I even be able to work in this place as I'm used to? I thought so. You're not building a particularly convincing case in favor of this venture, so far.

Why should I be happy that Angela is there? I would much prefer it if she were at home. Your powers of persuasion certainly haven't gotten any better since the last time we did this, and your logic seems as skewed as always. Couldn't you have at least kept my previous journal name? Though 'bonescientist' was an overly simplified reference to my occupation, it had a basis in reality. This one is completely ludicrous and I'm not sure I appreciate its implications. Contrary to what you may think, no, it's not amusing. Not that I expect you to actually listen to my opinions, of course, much less to act accordingly. I can't stop you, unfortunately, but be aware I protest vehemently to this idea.

...Would I get a gun?

Dear Mun . . .

I think we have issues.
