100,38 - Two roads diverged and they both looked pretty nice actually

[ Video ]

[ Steph sits at her desk, as usual when she makes video posts. She's been affected by the flood, but she doesn't look particularly different. She's always been very good at hiding her scars, and although her clothes cover most of them she has makeup over one slash across her cheek. Dodged a bullet - literally. ]

You know what I don't understand? I mean, it's probably a human nature thing - sorry, sentient being nature. Whenever there's a flood we all climb on top of each other trying to figure out what it is. But either someone's affected and they know it and they can tell us flat out, or they don't know it and there's no way to figure out what's different until after. So, if there's no obvious danger, why bother? Now don't get me wrong, I'm the curious cat incarnate, it just seems kinda silly in the grand scheme of things, doesn't it?

[ She shrugs. Food for thought. Then she turns the video to private. ]

[ Private to Doyle ]

How goes it, inmate mine? Still in your own skin? [ Doyle's always been a bit dour, but Steph counters it with high spirits, good humor and a stern tone, even when he does something wrong. It seems to work better for her than sinking to his level of spookiness. ]

[ Private to Jon ]

Hey lover, I haven't seen you all day. What have you been up to?

God forbid. It might mean I'm pregnant or something.

I'll see you in a bit.

[Shows up at her door a short time later.]

Hey, it's me. [Knocknock]

[Private]

[ichoosefight]

Coming!

[ She throws the door open and pops a quick kiss on his cheek. ]

[Private]

[an_abomination]

[Smiles at her briefly.]

What are your plans for the rest of the day?

[Private]

[ichoosefight]

[ She shrugs. ]

Check on Doyle, maybe have some lemonade. It's getting to be that time of year.

[ In other words: she has none. ]

[an_abomination]

So much do see and do. How do you contain your excitement?

[ichoosefight]

Years of experience. What did you have in mind?

[an_abomination]

That's a loaded question. [The grin on his face becomes suggestive.]

[ichoosefight]

[ She raises her eyebrows, leans forward. ]

Does that mean there's a loaded answer?

[an_abomination]

[Wraps his arms around her, grinning from ear to ear.]

I'm starting to think you've picked up telepathic powers.

[ichoosefight]

Maybe it's just our minds speaking the same language. [ She hooks both index fingers in his pants pockets. ]

[an_abomination]

What's your mind saying right now?

[ichoosefight]

It's saying... those clothes don't look very comfortable. [ She uses her hold on his pockets to tug him even closer. ]

[an_abomination]

[Steps closer to her, pressing their bodies together.] Funny, I was just thinking the same thing about your clothes. Our minds really are in sync.

[ichoosefight]

Imagine that.

[ She tilts her head to kiss him. ]

[an_abomination]

[Returns the kiss while keeping one of his arms around her waist and bringing the other hand up to her face.]
