90,27 - Fourth Wall Day Strikes Back

[ Video ]

[ The feed opens on a doll, two white eyes in a black face with a purple hood. A hand can be seen moving the arm so that the doll waves. ]

Hello, outside world! [ The comm falls over and Steph picks it up to show her whole face this time. She just got out of the infirmary, and she’s feeling a lot better now. Another day or so and she’ll be good as new. There’s just one problem. ]

I’m bored. I’ve decided, pool party for sure. I’d make it a gym party if I thought that wouldn’t be completely lame.

So who all is out there this time around? Anybody I know?

It's not healthy if you both want different things from the relationship.

[She nods, albeit too many. She asks only one more thing, because it'd make their interactions mean something entirely different now.]

He's not with her still, is he?

private;

[ichoosefight]

No. [ That's easy enough to answer. Only, the reason they aren't together... ] She's not here anymore.

private;

[some_kinda_hero]

Okay.

.....

Okay, thanks, Stephanie.

[And then she changes the subject.]

What do you want your wedding theme to be? What colors?

private;

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, sure. [ Well she feels horrible. Which is silly because clearly Jesse is the horrible one. ]

Would purple be too cheesy?

private;

[some_kinda_hero]

Depends; which shade?

private;

[ichoosefight]

Eggplant, of course.

private;

[some_kinda_hero]

I think it'd be gorgeous, if coupled with the right color. Maybe gold or a pale yellow...I already have so many ideas. [Giggles.]

private;

[ichoosefight]

Batgirl colors. I like the way you think.

private;

[some_kinda_hero]

Heh, yeah, well, they also happen to be complimentary. You know, opposites on the color wheel?

private;

[ichoosefight]

So are red and green, but they don't make good wedding colors.

private;

[some_kinda_hero]

[She pretends to become suspicious and squints at her BFF.] Are you trying to start an argument?

private;

[ichoosefight]

Are you planning a Christmas themed wedding? Because then I might be.

private;

[some_kinda_hero]

[She stands, continuing the display of false anger.] I totally am! With a Twelve Things of Christmas cake, complete with twelve tiers! And cocoa for the toasts and we'll ride off in a sleigh, not a car.

private;

[ichoosefight]

[ Steph laughs. ]

Okay, that does sound like a pretty amazing cake.

private;

[some_kinda_hero]

[Act dropped, Claire snorts.] Jesse would never go for that anyway. [A quick lift and fall of one shoulder.] Not that it matters.

So. Do we want to end this on our own terms or just keep talking until we're cut off?

private;

[ichoosefight]

Our own terms, for sure. Who knows when we'll get the chance again.

[ Like when she left the first time. It's hard to say goodbye, but it's a whole lot better than not saying goodbye. ]

Keep an eye out for that pandimensional portal I'm working on.

private;

[some_kinda_hero]

[True facts.

Claire nods, biting her lip to try and not sound so sad.]

Is this it, then? Are we saying goodbye now?

private;

[ichoosefight]

I guess so.

I'll see you later, Claire.

private; - :C

[some_kinda_hero]

Yeah. You will.

[She blows two kisses and waves goodbye. And then the feed cuts off.]
