Sept 22 - It's all around you, yet so far away...

"Oh, go on and say it. Something that stupid. And yeah, you wouldn't," he said, shaking his head and sighing. Then he looked back up at her. "But yeah... I would. Any time."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed May 06, 2009 1:38 am

"Thanks." Rachel said quietly "That means a lot. And to be fair, I do have a slight advantage in that department."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed May 06, 2009 1:54 am

Ryan gave her shoulder a squeeze as she thanked him, but then smirked when she mentioned her advantage. "I'll just hope that if I had telepathy, I wouldn't fall for that crap."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed May 06, 2009 1:59 am

Rachel shrugged "You'd still fall for crap, but at least you'd know if your random bar hookup was planning to violate you and leave you for dead."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed May 06, 2009 2:12 am

"Yeah, that's true," Ryan said, smirking. "I guess I'll just have to press on and hope that I can make up for my lack of a super-powered brain."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed May 06, 2009 2:18 am

"I'm sure you'll manage. Somehow." Rachel said teasingly.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed May 06, 2009 6:18 am

"Divine favor. The Boss put too much effort into training me, so he can't get rid of me no matter how bad I screw up," Ryan joked.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed May 06, 2009 11:39 am

"Thats one theory." Rachel said teasingly.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed May 06, 2009 3:08 pm

"And do you have one of your own?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed May 06, 2009 6:01 pm

"Well, they do say that God watches out for small children and idiots." Rachel said with a little smile.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed May 06, 2009 11:01 pm

"Please, I stopped believing that years ago," Ryan scoffed.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed May 06, 2009 11:07 pm

"At yet you are still alive." Rachel said teasingly.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed May 06, 2009 11:10 pm

"Because I make sure that I'm the bigger fish when it matters."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed May 06, 2009 11:13 pm

"Possibly." Rachel replied "Just....try to think with your big brain, ok?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed May 06, 2009 11:18 pm

"I do my best," he said. "I'll just have to give the other one some time off for a while."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed May 06, 2009 11:22 pm

"So, when are you going to break the news to the rest of the girls?" Rachel asked.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed May 06, 2009 11:29 pm

Ryan smirked. "You make it sound like there are girls lining up at my door or something."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed May 06, 2009 11:33 pm

"How many girls did you have the other day?" Rachel asked.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed May 06, 2009 11:38 pm

"There are always eventful days, granted, but that's not exactly the norm or anything," Ryan chuckled.

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed May 06, 2009 11:42 pm

"I see." Rachel replied, sounding amused "Still, I'm sure there will be some disappointed girls when you announce your taking a break from nookie."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Wed May 06, 2009 11:44 pm

"Well I hope so. The ones who aren't are the ones I know I need to avoid."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Wed May 06, 2009 11:54 pm

Rachel smirked "No offense, but I give you about five minutes keeping that resolution if a girl put the moves on you."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu May 07, 2009 1:45 am

"I can do without random girls. They haven't been anything but trouble for me lately anyway."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu May 07, 2009 1:47 am

"Ah, so you're just giving up on random hookups." Rachel said, smiling "Much more realistic."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu May 07, 2009 1:50 am

"Well, come on, I do know myself," he said, chuckling. "Now the problem is just figuring out which girls are random, and which random girls I'm going to give exceptions to."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu May 07, 2009 1:54 am

"I see." Rachel replied "I assume that you're going to be holding auditions?"

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu May 07, 2009 1:59 am

Ryan gave her a look. "No, I was thinking more that I'd be figuring out who I actually care about and who's just been a fun time."

He shook his head, chuckling slightly. "God, I hope you're joking and I don't really come across as that much of an asshole."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu May 07, 2009 2:06 am

"Of course I was kidding." Rachel replied, teasing a little "You aren't that much of a jerk."

Well, that answers that question. Rachel thought to herself It was fun while it lasted.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu May 07, 2009 2:15 am

"Good," Ryan chuckled. "I'm only moderately a jerk. But at the risk of losing my jerk status, what are you up to now? Want to go find something to do? I should probably stop driving myself nuts sitting here thinking."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu May 07, 2009 2:19 am

"I've got a test in the morning, so I can't be out too late." Rachel replied "But if you want to grab some dinner I wouldn't mind some company, it'll distract me from worrying about Con."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu May 07, 2009 2:25 am

Ryan nodded, sighing. "Yeah, Bear's out there, too... I'm doing my best not to think about that."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu May 07, 2009 2:37 am

"Its tough, having to sit around and wait for news."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu May 07, 2009 2:41 am

"Yeah, I know. That's why I like it better when my team gets sent out," Ryan sighed. "Of course, if Will and I weren't out of commission, we might be sent out, so I guess I can't complain."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu May 07, 2009 2:49 am

"I know what you mean." Rachel replied "But at least you have a reason why your team wasn't sent out. I'm just sitting here with thumb up my ass for no good reason."

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu May 07, 2009 2:56 am

"Because the vampires seem to have a hard-on for keeping telepaths as their little blood-slaves?"

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu May 07, 2009 3:00 am

"I wouldn't be going out alone and unarmed." Rachel pointed out.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu May 07, 2009 3:03 am

"Yeah, true, but Ayami wasn't alone, and they still singled her out, ganged up on her, and spirited her away while more vamps held the others off."

"So while I sympathize, I can't really bring myself to be sorry that you aren't out there."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu May 07, 2009 3:08 am

"I could at least draw them out." Rachel pointed out.

by **Ryan Gabriel** » Thu May 07, 2009 3:10 am

Ryan shuddered. "Okay, just no. It's one thing being in danger on a mission, I really don't want to think about you being bait."

by **Rachel O'Brien** » Thu May 07, 2009 3:12 am

"It'd be a valid strategy." Rachel said "And I wouldn't do it unless I had people ready to move in at the first sign of trouble."
