[ Originally this was intended to be a draft, gone over and then filtered. She hit the send button with her elbow when she took a break to put her head in her hands and sigh happily. All of the strikes are readable, they were left in case Steph decided to use them after all. ]

Dear Admiral:

I don't want to know if you read my diary, so

Do you like me? Circle one :)

Yes

No

P.S. ONLY CIRCLE ONE!!! No cookies!

Cookies also an acceptable answer

I prefer dark chocolate

This is never going to work this is dumb



[ The rest of the page is covered in doodled hearts. A minute later: ]

[ Text - Private to the Admiral ]

DON'T ANSWER!!! This was all a mistake typo misunderstanding practical joke! I'm still in love with Tim! So there!

[ Lies, lies, so many lies. ]

Comments

Audio Private. - If private, can delete.

[some_kinda_hero]

You, uh, sure you know what you're doing there, Steph?

Audio Private. - Tooootes public.

[ichoosefight]

Of course, I know exactly what I'm doing! I always know what I'm doing. All a part of the master plan.

[ The mile-a-minute excuses are a dead giveaway :| ]

Audio. Private.

[some_kinda_hero]

[Sighs.] Well, a warning, but there's been a flood and my guess is it has something to do with Valentine's Day, what with it being tomorrow....and based off your, um, public elementary school behavior.

Audio. Private.

[ichoosefight]

Oh come on, Claire, it's not like I really have a crush on the Admiral or anything like that. [ She may be choking a little. ]

That'd be ridiculous.

Audio. Private.

[some_kinda_hero]

[Pause.] Uh-huh. Either way, it's cute. I'd like a cookie that said 'yes' or 'no'.

Audio. Private.

[ichoosefight]

[ 'Cute' huh. So glad you can't see her face. ]

Yeah, well, I'll let you know if I get one. I wouldn't be surprised. [ Because the Admiral is mean and he's badmouthed him before and oh god he totally hates her!!! ]

Audio. Private.

[some_kinda_hero]

If he falls short, I'll use my Easy Bake Oven and treat you.

Audio. Private.

[ichoosefight]

You would? [ Omg you're the best friend ever. ]

Thanks, Claire.

'Do you like me'...?

Text:

[ichoosefight]

That is what I wrote, yes.

[ shutupshutupshutup ]

Always!

You realise the Admiral could be, like, a colony of telepathic brain-slugs or something, right?

I mean, if seeking approval's your thing, that's cool, I'm just... Curious.

Text:

[ichoosefight]

Well duh [ That would... be sexy??? Or at least explain the mind-control. ]

Clearly it's just going way over your head. [ There was totally a plan!!! ]

Re: Text:

[acid_rayne]

[YOUR PLANS EXCUSES ARE DOOMED TO FAILURE. Now you know how a supervillain feels.]

Do you want the Admiral to take you for ice cream and tell you you're a pretty girl, Stephanie?

Text:

[ichoosefight]

I know I'm pretty and I can get my own ice cream :P

[ But yeah, that actually sounds really nice .///. ]

Re: Text:

[acid_rayne]

Are you sure?

I mean, I could campaign on your behalf and everything...

Text:

[ichoosefight]

And do what? Parade around the barge with blown-up pictures of my face?

Re: Text:

[acid_rayne]

Sure! And big, shiny petition...

Text:

[ichoosefight]

Somehow I don't see that helping anything.

Re: Text:

[acid_rayne]

Seriously, why'd you do this?

Text:

[ichoosefight]

Seriously, why do you care? I have my reasons.

Re: Text:

[acid_rayne]

Because it's the ADMIRAL!

Text:

[ichoosefight]

What, are you jealous?
