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?

[megamind]

Yup! Still alive. [ And ridiculously chipper. He knows that things aren't perfect, despite everything, but honestly-- he's in a really good mood. ]

[ Which is why he's pretty much covered in a lap full of papers. ]

Everything went pretty good. Not get back together good, but-- I don't really think the whole romance thing is my bag anyway.

[ichoosefight]

Well somebody's in a good mood. [ Which is a little weird, honestly, but better than the alternative. ] You're not on drugs, are you?

[private]

[megamind]

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

No.

[private]

[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. ]

[private]

[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.

[routemistress]

Try an' keep me away, Steph lovey.

[She's not touching the significant other thing.]

[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?

[fuckingvisions]

Sorry love, I'm on murder watch.

[ More he remembers getting shoved in the pool last time.]

[ichoosefight]

How could I? You're the life of the party.

[private]

[ichoosefight]

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

[ichoosefight]

I'm pretty sure I get to decide if you're on murder watch.

[fuckingvisions]

Did I say murder watch? I meant I gotta work darlin'.

[ He should have known that would be a warden picks thing.]

[ichoosefight]

I promise nobody will throw you in this time.

[fuckingvisions]

...You promise?

[ He cant tell Steph no. Really sometimes it's like trying to push a cute kitten away. It just doesn't work.]

[buildindreemz]

A pool party sounds like a good idea.

[ichoosefight]

I solemnly swear. Anyone tries and I'll personally kick their butts.

[ You can't possibly say no to this face. ]

[ichoosefight]

You want to come? They never turn sour. [ At least not in her experience. ]

[fuckingvisions]

Alright, then. Count one wallflower in love.

If you want I might even give thought to the water. [ It's not that he cant swim, it's mostly just he doesn't care too much.

And no you cant.]
