It's what you do when you don't have friends in person!

"Ugh, you have no idea," he sighed. "Still not sleeping too well. Is it August yet?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 10:42 pm

"Not for a long while. Figured out what's got you sleepless?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 10:43 pm

"Nope. I'm starting to go with 'just don't want to'. Worse comes to worse, I'll ask my mom if we can get something to help me sleep."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 10:46 pm

"Just so long as you're not hallucinating billions of tiny spiders under your skin or anything."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 11:05 pm

"You mean they're not really there?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 11:07 pm

"I am trying so hard to develop the mutant power of hitting you with a pillow via the internet."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 11:16 pm

"Yeah, don't think that works. You're just going to have to come do it in person," Alex teased.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 11:23 pm

"Ah, but then I have to contend with lawyer mom. Pass."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 11:35 pm

"I don't think she's ever sued someone for hitting someone with a pillow. I think we could keep you under her radar," Alex smirked.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 11:48 pm

"I am kind of worried that your mom knows who my dad is, though."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 11:48 pm

"Why?" he asked. "I'm pretty sure that she's not going around shouting that one. I mean, he knows who my uncle is."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 11:49 pm

"Not to other people, no, but she might give me a hard time about it."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Mar 01, 2012 11:50 pm

"Okay, in the past week, I've seen my mom all of maybe twelve hours. I'm pretty sure that you're safe from getting any crap from my mom... like, ever."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 12:02 am

"Not even a 'stay away from my boy'?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 12:04 am

Alex smirked. "I don't know, do you have any intentions toward her boy that she wouldn't approve of?" he teased.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 12:06 am

"Spears count, right?" She teased back.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 12:08 am

"Hmmm, not sure. Depends on how mad at me she is," he grinned.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 12:16 am

"I'll just write her a letter. Dear Mrs. Carpenter, heading over to perforate your son, no that is not a euphemism."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 12:24 am

"I'm pretty sure it'd go over better than it would if I said the same thing to your dad," Alex pointed out.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 12:28 am

"Well maybe he'd trust me to kick your butt myself," she said defensively.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 12:32 am

"Well, if I ever get a chance to perforate you, we'll find out," he joked.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 12:43 am

"Okay, now it really is sounding like a euphemism," she said as a flush came to her cheeks.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 12:55 am

"I suppose saying 'spear' instead wouldn't help matters?" he said innocently.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 12:59 am

"That's... kind of worse."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 1:02 am

"Even worse considering that you're the one who brought the subject of spearing and getting speared up," Alex pointed out, chuckling.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 1:03 am

"Yeah, this... went a weird place."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 1:08 am

"So anyway, if I can get your mind out of the gutter..." Alex said, again 'innocently'. "Did you hear about that mutant convention that's coming up? Crap, can't remember what it's called..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 2:12 am

"The one in London? That all those weirdos that post those pictures were going on about?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 2:15 am

"...I suppose that with a lead-in like that, saying 'yeah, that one' isn't going to work too well for me."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 2:17 am

"Well you know, it's the internet. I stumbled on that place one day, and it was, like, a dozen guys talking about a size-shifter's rear end."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 2:17 am

"Oh. Well, yeah, anything that happens is going to have some jackasses like that at it."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 2:19 am

"Yeah, but I guess the convention is kind of a big deal, huh?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 2:25 am

"Looks like it. Seems like it's the big thing if you're a mutant. Or know mutants. Or like mutants."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 2:26 am

"Yeah, and if those posts were any indication some folks... uh... really like mutants."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 2:29 am

"Well, those were internet-dwellers, I'm pretty sure that this is just their phase between some sci-fi actress and next summer's horror movie victim actress."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 10:53 am

"I think it's easier for you to say that than me."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 4:58 pm

"Hey, you're the dangerous one, you'd be at less risk there than me," Alex said, smirking.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 5:05 pm

"I just... I don't like being stared at, you know?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 7:00 pm

"Okay, Unless you're going to go decked out in cavegirl gear- and I know that you wouldn't- I think that this is one place that you wouldn't be in danger of being stared at by creepy guys. You'd just be a face in the crowd there. No blue skin, no shapeshifting, no wings." He shrugged. "But it's in London anyway, and neither one of us are in London, so... yeah."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Mar 02, 2012 7:29 pm

"Yeah, probably a moot point."
