"Still not discouraging me..."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:36 am

"Possibly involves you being tossed out a third-story window."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:45 am

"Okay, now we're moving in the 'not going to do it' direction," Alex chuckled.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:48 am

"Oh good, I was beginning to think you were really weird."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:49 am

"What kind of weird are we talking about here? Sorry, but I've been accused of lots of different types of 'weird' this weekend," Alex chuckled.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 1:53 am

"Well you didn't like it when Kay hit you," she joked.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:01 am

"Oh, am I supposed to enjoy that? I guess I could learn, but I'd need a little help," he joked.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:05 am

She rolled her eyes.

"No! That's weird!"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:34 am

"Oh, good, here I thought maybe I was supposed to like being roughhoused. See, progress!" he said with a grin.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:46 am

"Well, how am I supposed to know what kind of fantasies go around in boys' heads?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 2:57 am

"Oh come on, teen movies aren't that far off, and... I just realized how bad that comparison can possibly make me look. Let's... go back to 'not knowing'. yeah."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 10:27 am

She laughed.

"Depends on which movies, I guess."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 10:34 am

"Yeah, probably hard to pick inside the movies, too. Is it going to do me wrong if I just shoot for the 'young John Cusack' like you were saying?" he asked with a grin.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 10:36 am

"I think that leaves your fantasies at claymation cheeseburgers, so we'll go with that."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 10:45 am

"Claymation cheeseburgers? That sounds- I mean, oh yeah, totally, that's all," he said, nodding 'seriously'.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 10:56 am

"Old movies are pretty goofy, yeah."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:01 am

Alex chuckled. "So... you think every weekend's going to be nuts like that? Or just for a while, and then it'll calm down and get boring?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:15 am

"God, I don't think I could take it if there's going to be that much drama every week."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 11:17 am

"Well, I figure it can't always be people we know that are flipping out. I mean, it's not like this is some story where we're the only people with names and who stuff happens to. So we should be able to just watch next time, probably, right?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 12:57 pm

"But the people we're watching will be the people we know, yeah? So same result." She stuck her tongue out.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:56 pm

"So you're planning on knowing everyone? Have a nice semester, I think you're going to be too busy with introductions for me to see you until about Christmas," Alex countered, sticking out his own tongue.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 3:59 pm

"You plan on watching strangers? Good luck with that too, stalker." She chuckled.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 4:10 pm

"No different from TV! Just, y'know, without a screen and with a chance of getting hit by something they throw!"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 4:53 pm

"Or zapped, or mind-whammied, or tossed into a pocket dimension where you will know only pain."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 5:02 pm

"See? You do get it!" Alex joked.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 5:07 pm

"If I find you singing 'I'm a Little Teapot' while on fire, I'll know what happened."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 5:23 pm

"I'd say that I don't piss people off that much, but I guess that ship's sailed."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 5:39 pm

"I just have this mental image of you sitting there with a tub of popcorn."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 5:54 pm

"I've always been more of a Milk Duds person for movies," he said. "I'm just saying... drama can't always be ours. It's got to be someone else's turn, too."

He sighed. "Going home's going to suck. I was starting to feel halfway normal again."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 5:57 pm

"Well I fully intend to stay in touch. Maybe that'll help?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 6:05 pm

"A lot," he confirmed. "I- wait... Okay, I have to ask, how do you get internet in Antarctica?

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 6:07 pm

"We've got a satellite uplink. It's just another one of those things I don't like to think about because it reminds me that my dad is a big deal."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 6:19 pm

"Well, it's giving me someone to talk to over the summer, so I'm totally not going to complain about your dad being a big deal." The fact that he's likely to spear me if I look at you wrong, maybe, but not about him being a big deal...

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 6:20 pm

"I get some privacy, at least. Most of the time. When Matthew isn't being a pest."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 6:31 pm

Alex chuckled a little. "You can borrow some of mine, I have enough," he said.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 6:39 pm

"I'm just warning you, in case a college-age boy in a loincloth strides into the frame."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 6:48 pm

"Will it be followed by threats to gut me with a spear if I don't stay away from his sister or something like that?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 6:49 pm

"More like threats of me beating him up," she smirked.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 7:02 pm

"No chance of that happening on-screen, is there, maybe?" he asked with a grin.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Fri Feb 03, 2012 7:04 pm

"I don't know if the webcam can follow that well," she said with a chuckle.
