95,32 - Summer in February?

[ichoosefight]

I don't suppose anybody knows what the lights thing was about? [ Steph doesn't look too hopeful. Unless something exploded in the last hour or so, probably everyone else knows about as much as she does. She sighs, then gets back to her previously scheduled message. ]

I'm sure everyone this applies to already knows, but some of you have pretty cool significant others. To those of you who don't? [ She winces sympathetically. ] Sorry. I hope nobody's plans were too screwed up by it.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone was up for another pool party. I'm unseasonably restless and I think pretending it's summer is exactly what would do the trick. Inmates invited too! Provided you aren't on murder watch or anything.

[ Private to Megamind ]

Still alive?

[ That got the smile to drop right off his face. ]

No.

[ichoosefight]

[ And that earns a laugh. ]

Okay, okay. You don't want to tell me, I won't ask. So pool party. Are you coming?

Re: [private]

[megamind]

Uhm. Am I invited? I've never been to a party before. I mean, one that I wasn't crashing.

[private]

[ichoosefight]

Of course you're invited. You're not on murder watch are you?

[private]

[megamind]

Can't say that I am.

[private]

[ichoosefight]

I'm sure somebody can lend you swim trunks.

[private]

[megamind]

And a belt. [ eyeroll; he is a skinny, hipless son of a bitch ]

[private]

[ichoosefight]

Or a little piece of string. [ Yeah, she's noticed. ]

[megamind]

Ha ha. I'll see if the admiral threw anything like that in my wardrobe. I got all sorts of clothes I never had before when Kay set the room up from Prison Chic, so I might have something already.

...what do you do at a pool party, anyway?

[private]

[ichoosefight]

Swim, drink lemonade, toss people in the pool. The same stuff you do at any other party, but with more water.

[private]

[megamind]

Oh. [ He feels like this will be an exercise in awkwardness without anything to explode or music to poudnd the temples... ] Anything else?

[private]

[ichoosefight]

Anything else you want. I'll probably bring music and some snacks.

[private]

[megamind]

I've just-- never been to a party. Invited, no less.

[ It'll be novel and a little scary. He'll just be quietly waiting to be ostracized in the corner... or making it impossible to do so by being loud and in your face. Depends on how stressful it gets. ]

[private]

[ichoosefight]

Well then, I'm honored to be able to give you your very first party experience.

[private]

[megamind]

At the very least I'll put in an appearance, no?

[private]

[ichoosefight]

Good enough. Small steps. We'll make a social animal of you yet.

[private]

[megamind]

I don't-- really do the whole hang-out thing, or the whole fit-in thing. It's not really my style.

[private]

[ichoosefight]

Well good. You have to get out of your comfort zone from time to time. It's good for you.

[private]

[megamind]

[ He'd argue that the prison was a not-comfort zone, but honestly-- it's home. He knows it. IT's doing not-prison things in the prison that is out of his comfort zone, so what she says is on the dot. ]

If you insist.
