[005] simple as this: I'm in love with the risk; I know what I've done but tell me what did I miss?

Hey, uh.  You know that thing we did?  Before?  Is there a chance we could maybe do that again sometime?

Yeah. Got the picture. Thanks. You're late.

[No, he is absolutely NOT sulking, I have no idea what you're talking about.]

[grahamcommawill.livejournal.com]

I've been here the whole time, actually.

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

You're taking everybody's side.

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

And you just decided to throw in your two cents now? That Tony kid already did your wardening for you.

Why do I hafta be fucking cautious? I already said I'd drop it.

I doubt anything short of major mental rewiring could make him less of a...creep. But I might be able to make him forget what happened between you two during the flood.

[grahamcommawill.livejournal.com]

No he didn't.

This isn't like where you're from. I don't want you saying the wrong thing to the wrong person and upsetting someone.

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

He explained things. You just showed up and seconded the whole thing.

Give me some credit. What the hell am I gonna say? What, you don't want me to embarrass you or something?

[lifeafterhope.livejournal.com]

"That thing" wasn't really... that specific.

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

...She knows what I meant.

[Probably.]

And it wasn't supposed to be public.

[lifeafterhope.livejournal.com]

Now so does everyone else. [...unfortunately.]

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well. It wasn't supposed to be public.

[Because repeating yourself always helps.]

[lifeafterhope.livejournal.com]

Even though it was, it didn't have to become obvious what you were...trying to talk about.

Can't leave overprotective Rinzlers out of the party!

Query: Location?

Jarvlin & Rinzler team-up! ...Only in my brain.

[vfranklinmott.livejournal.com]

I wonder that very thing, mate.

THE BEST TEAM-UP.

Request: Advise when location known.

I appreciate the help, but I don't think it's a good idea. We can't attack him directly. Threaten him, yes, but hurt him at all and we'd get both our wardens involved.

[He's thinking before attacking! Progress!]

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

It's not like I said it. I was just... She was the one who made a huge thing out of it. Not me.

Understood.

Surveillance and appearance of surveillance intended.

You're not saying he's wrong?

FUCK you, Graham.

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

You come near me, and I'll show you violent.

If I knew I'd be heading me there now. Talking me up like a slut in front of everyone...that m-motherfucker...

[there's a clatter as she drops the communicator.]

Private

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Can I sign up for that too?

Just kidding. I'll cope.

Thank you.

[He waits a moment.] Wanda, darling, that's not helping. Think back, luv. When you... met him during the flood. Where was it?

[grahamcommawill.livejournal.com]

I'm saying he's confused.

[lifeafterhope.livejournal.com]

That's why I told her.
