I8DT - We Need To Talk

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Dec 27, 2011 8:18 am

"Hardly. And I feel ridiculous enough about it already. So I'm telling myself it's an accomplishment that I'm not getting up and depleting Sam's wine supply."

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Tue Dec 27, 2011 8:22 am

"Darling, you dealt with an entire year of that hell. If someone tells you you're being ridiculous, you ought to predict a rather horrid end for them in your best spooky voice and see if they wet themselves."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Dec 27, 2011 8:31 am

"Oh I wouldn't have to make up a prediction but that doesn't stop me from beating myself up. At least I get a lot of thinking done."

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Tue Dec 27, 2011 8:35 am

"Well, if you had work to do I'd say you need to look into some sleeping pills, but barring that, the natural method of getting over things is probably best."

"Granted, who am I to talk, I would've been depleting the wine and not feeling anything but a need to wax poetic about various vintages."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Dec 27, 2011 8:42 am

"Oh there's been more than enough of that but can't rely on that all the time. Besides, smarter to use the evening for that and actually get some sleep." she smiles wryly.

Becca chuckled. "Yet here you are awake. Coming to any profound reflective realizations?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Dec 27, 2011 8:49 am

"There really are things moving in the darkness if you try listening hard enough."

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Tue Dec 27, 2011 8:55 am

"I used to hear them. In my case, they were snipers and hit men."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Dec 27, 2011 8:58 am

"We all get to live in the world we chose, hmm?"

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Tue Dec 27, 2011 9:04 am

"If yours comes with a way to keep giant robots from incinerating you, you might have picked the better one."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Dec 27, 2011 9:16 am

"So far so good. Of course robots are rather... resistant to magic."

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 3:35 am

"Just ask Doctor Doom. He seems to know how to break all of the magical/technological rules."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 3:37 am

"Maybe once he finds his way back from Never Never Land." she says, not bragging at all.

Okay maybe a little.

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 3:47 am

"You all need to put that on your resumes," Becca mused.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 4:47 am

"Question is, where would you apply with that. Internship with Doctor Strange?"

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:01 am

"Depends on how you word it. Just 'defeated Dr. Doom' might bump aside all kinds of prerequisites to get a job with SHIELD, after all. It'd sure as hell get you into the Hellfire Club, so I'd imagine it works for the good guys, too."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:06 am

"SHIELD? And have to deal with Stark? No thank you." she chuckles.

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:32 am

"Oh, no, this is the way of bypassing Stark. I mean, if you're going to deal with Stark, why bother beating Doctor Doom. You're female, and you're hot, that's enough to get you in through him."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:36 am

"I meant more having to deal with being in the same organization as him. My purse is not big enough for bottles of booze to throw as distractions."

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:40 am

"And I take it that just owning it and shamelessly using your looks to your advantage aren't an option? I mean, we already know that they can ensnare your average studious German student..." There was definitely amusement in the thoughts this time.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:48 am

"I have more dignity than that. Unlike certain German students." she smirks. "When Sam kissed me he was just about done."

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:53 am

"Poor little bastard. How many months are you going to wear low-cut tops when classes start just to screw with him?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 6:03 am

"Until I start to feel bad for him."

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 6:08 am

"So when it's cold enough that it isn't feasible any more, then?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 6:13 am

"We'll see. He's almost too pathetic to deserve more than being reminded and shamed. Now Zero..."

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 2:39 pm

"That's the one who doesn't have a gender unless he's turned into someone else, right?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 2:57 pm

"Indeed. Which admittedly can be a bit of a problem but they also don't particularly seem to care about dealing with the infractions on peoples' privacy in any reasonable way."

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 3:23 pm

"Ah, the dangers of intimate shapeshifting. I miss having a body sometimes..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 3:28 pm

"No borrowing Sam's." she smirks.

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 3:34 pm

"Not intending to try. Too much strain just to get her psi-receptors working, and they don't have moving parts."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 3:49 pm

"She'd probably let you if you asked." she jokes.

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 3:56 pm

Becca sounded amused. "And now you're pointing out how easily I could. sending a girl mixed signals here."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 4:02 pm

"I see where Victoria gets her self-confidence from, 'Darling'." she smirks faintly.

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:03 pm

"Well, if you want to learn how to be Queen Bitch, might as well study from the reigning lady that comes before you."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:21 pm

"But if you think anything would happen here. It feels odd enough to have seen Sam's mock-up of that."

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:33 pm

"Oh, trust me, it feels even weirder from this side of things. I can vaguely remember being that Becca... sort of like a really weird dream, where you're living in a world and just going with the weirdness because part of you thinks that's how it's supposed to be."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:43 pm

"Oh I know how that feels. Until you realize it's not a dream and that weirdness was in you all along and good lord I sound like a Disney movie."

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 5:46 pm

"I don't know... is the moral of it that you were perfect all along, and love conquers all?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 6:03 pm

"It's more that once you realize that if you start pulling at one loose strand you better be determined to pull the whole sweater apart because it's gonna happen one way or the other and will make a huge mess. Sorry, out of purple prose tonight, I just got crude allegories left."

by **Rebecca Valentine** » Wed Dec 28, 2011 6:05 pm

"Not a worry, Darling. It's been one of those years."
