Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:26 pm"Even if I could, I'd set myself on fire first," Regan says, watching herself in a shop window to make sure she looks relatively normal, "I stopped playing dress up after I got forced out of the squad."

Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:29 pm"They kicked you out?"
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:34 pm"Yeah," Regan says, "Few months before I died. Cheerleader politics are vicious."
"So, where do you want to go? We could go shopping, get a bite to eat, see a movie....whatever you want to do, really."

Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:39 pm"Alright," Regan says, "We can just wander for a bit. See if anything catches our interest. Like one of those cool junk shops that still have cases of discontinued candy and soda, or a homeless guy having an argument with himself."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:45 pmShe chuckles. "Sure. Let's just head down to the harbor and see what we run into."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:46 pm"Awesome," Regan says, walking down the sidewalk next to Kay, "So, you've seriously never cut class before?"
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:48 pmShe shakes her head. "I dunno, I guess I just didn't want to get into trouble."

Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:52 pm"If you get caught, just pretend you've had a concussion and are mentally confused," Regan says, "Works....every now and then."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:54 pm"But what if you don't get caught? You just tell them you felt sick the other day?"
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 7:57 pm"Yeah, pretty much," Regan says, "Or that you had a doctor's appointment. Or that you had a panic attack. Or that you were possessed and had to be exorcised."
"Just about any excuse works as long as you don't have to prove it."

Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 8:05 pm"That's the spirit," Regan says.
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 8:06 pm"So you did this a lot before... you know...?"
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 8:17 pm"All the time," Regan says, "I was kind of a teenage delinquent."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 8:24 pm"Were?" she laughs.
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 8:33 pm"It's a relative thing," Regan says, "My negative potential impact on society is lower these days."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 8:35 pm"You'll fix that at some point, I'm sure. Maybe you need to practice with kitchen cabinets."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 8:37 pm"Are you encouraging me to terrorize people?" Regan asks, "You really are the best friend ever."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 8:49 pm"If it helps you figure out how to move stuff..." she chuckles.
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Sun Feb 24, 2013 10:04 pm"Best. Friend. Ever."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 6:15 am"Just don't make a habit out of it once you figure it out."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 11:39 pm"I promise nothing," Regan says, pausing to look at a tattoo shop storefront as they pass by.
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 11:47 pm"That's 'Regan' for 'Fine, okay' isn't it?" she teases, walking a couple steps when Regan stops before noticing and turning around. "Tattoos?" she asks, stepping up next to her to look through the window.
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 11:51 pm"I wonder if Ms. Weaver would give me a needle and some inks," Regan says thoughtfully. "...I wonder if that would even work."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 11:55 pm"You want to tattoo yourself?"
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Mon Feb 25, 2013 11:58 pm"I don't think there are a lot of ghost tattoo artists," Regan says, "So, I'm gonna have to do this prison style."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:02 am"Okay lemme rephrase that... You want a tattoo?"
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:05 am"Yeah," Regan says, "Don't you? Tattoos are cool."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:09 am"Guess I never really thought about it..."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:12 am"You should totally get one," Regan says, "Everyone would think you were a badass."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:14 am"I dunno. What would I even get?"
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:22 am"I dunno. Something special to you," Regan says, "I was gonna get a Mothra tramp stamp someday, but if I have to do it myself I don't think I can bend that way."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:28 am"Hmm... Yeah, a tattoo would be pretty cool..."
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:33 am"What are you thinking? Tā moko?" Regan says.
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:37 am"Ta what-now?"
Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:42 am"Maori-style designs," Regan says, "Loopy wave type things. Usually on the arm or the face."
"Wait, no. You should get a griffin. Griffins are awesome."

Re: Downtown: We Real Cool
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 12:45 am"Loopy wavey things sound neat. Like really stylized ocean or water. Maybe not on the face though."
