16 - Odds and ends

[ Private to Scorpius ]

Hey. How you holding up, oh inmate mine?

[ She knows he's probably feeling the sting of John escaping leaving him. If he doesn't answer she'll just have to go and knock on his door. ]

[ Private to Dean ]

Hey. You like waffles, right? What am I saying, everyone likes waffles. I finally figured out how to use my waffle maker without burning everything, so you should totally help me not gorge myself on M&M waffles.

[ Private to Cass ]

Wanna spar? It'll be just like the old days, but with less barf.

[ General friends filter ]

I have a proposition for you:

Picnic.

Picnic? Picnic.

[ 'Nuff said. ]

My commendations, Stephanie. You actually managed to sound concerned for two microts put together.

[Private]

[ichoosefight]

I do try.

So answer the question.

[Private] Cheating here a bit. Meghan's not in game so I can play with her feelings

[keeps_a_cool_head]

I'm fine. Never felt better, to be honest.

[Private] maniacal laughter

[ichoosefight]

Yeah, sure. Did you see the flying pigs this morning? 'Cause I'll buy that when you do.

[Christ, it was bad enough getting nonsensical phrases from Crichton. Now he has to suffer through it with his warden, too? But he can parse the sentence enough to get the gist of what Stephanie is saying]

Regardless of what you believe, I've always been a forward-thinker. Crichton has left, so I will adjust my plans without him. I am feeling inconvenienced, if you must know, but if you expect to find me weeping in a corner, I'm afraid you'll leave disappointed.

[robinwishes]

Yeah, okay. Picnic.

Can't say I've ever been on one.

Re [friends filter]

[ichoosefight]

Me neither. But the movies tell me they're awesome, and sometimes end in cool musical numbers.

[friends filter]

[robinwishes]

...can we avoid musical numbers?

Re: [friends filter]

[ichoosefight]

No promises.

[robinwishes]

...has the barge randomly broken into song?

[ Private ]

[surfaceshine]

If you come in this room, I will shoot you.

[ Private ]

[ichoosefight]

Okay. What if I wait in the door?

[ Private ]

[surfaceshine]

Not my problem.

Re: [ Private ]

[ichoosefight]

Would you still eat the waffles if you shot me? Assuming there isn't any blood or shrapnel in them.

[ Private ]

[surfaceshine]

I am not inviting you to throw waffles at me from the hallway.

[codename_duchess]

Hell yeah, peec-neec!

[ichoosefight]

Score! Now we just need the actual picnic. [ A+ planning skills. ]

I had better have gotten this because your finger slipped when you were dialing.

[His voice is low, icy; he sounds far more like he did when he first arrived than he has in a long time. There is an unspoken threat voiced in his tone, a 'how dare you'.]

[ filter - voice ]

[ichoosefight]

[ She is not impressed by your threats. ]

There might be cookies.

[ filter - voice ]

[walkingmeltdown]

I'm not interested. In any of it. [In case that was somehow unclear.]

[ filter - voice ]

[ichoosefight]

Right, I'll mark you down as a 'maybe'.

Private

[hellofist]

Maybe less barf, but it... won't be like then.

[There's no real negativity to her tone, nothing mean, it's just a blank statement of the truth. Everything is different now, there's no going back to the old days.]

Re: Private

[ichoosefight]

[ Aw, don't be like that Cass. You make Steph sad. ]

That sounds like a yes.

Private

[hellofist]

[It's not a no.]

Might be... a bad idea, that's all.

[Still not a no.]

Re: Private

[ichoosefight]

Perfect, I love bad ideas. I'll meet you in the gym.

[ She could just use a little stress relief, you know? ]
