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

[private post to Wanda that really isn't private at all because Richie fails often]

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

What?!??!

You're asking me--

In public--

When that wasn't even me--

Oh my gods, What the fuck is wrong with you?

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

...Of course it was you, who else would it be? And it's not in public, I pushed the thing.

So that'd be a no?

What's wrong with me? You're the one who started it, how am I in the wrong?

Overprotective warden interjects!

Uh...I'm going to interrupt here. I know you just got here, but did you not notice the floods? People aren't themselves during floods.

*GASP*

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

No, people use this flood bullshit as an excuse to take back other shit they do. How d'you expect me to take anybody seriously when they say something knowing they could decide a couple days later they didn't really say it and it's the flood's fault? It's fucking bullshit.

Re: *GASP*

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

Uh, no, because floods happen at the same time for everybody, and you're either affected or you're not. It's really not that hard to tell if someone's affected. Just back the fuck off.

[Her voice changes suddenly, almost sounding a little blank. Certainly colder, the panic draining away into something considerably more vicious.]

This is a public post, you incompetent assbag. And the woman who was manipulating you isn't me and isn't here anymore.

Shut up and fuck off. I mean it.

Threadjack of yet another protective warden

[timesbureaucrat]

Is he bothering you, Miss Maximoff? [The answer is obviously "yes" but Narvin says it more for Richie's benefit than Wanda's. It is the age-old subtle warning of "people are watching, so don't do anything foolish."]

[Private]
[Narvin doesn't know exactly what happened between them, but since it was mirrorflood, he assumes the worst.]

If he...ah...[how to put it delicately]...knows things about you that he shouldn't and continues to bother you about it...I might be able to rectify that.

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

Yes, he is bothering me.

[private]
If it'll stop him embarrassing me in public and being a giant raging creep, I'm all for it.

Overprotective/possessive vampire also interjects!

[vfranklinmott.livejournal.com]

If he touches you, I'll kill him. You can watch.

[private]

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

No, we'll kill him together. Then I'll give you a drink over his corpse.

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

Hey. You started it, even if it was a different you, so don't pin this all on me. I was just asking, you could just say no, you don't hafta bug the fuck out about it.

[Complete with "I AM DOING NOTHING WRONG HERE WHY ARE YOU BEING MEAN" undertone.]

[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.]

this is official 'dealing with Richie' icon

[grahamcommawill.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.] I agree with Tony on this one. Who she was then during the flood is not who she is now. From the looks of it, it's quite clear she doesn't want to do... whatever it was you were suggesting.

I'm not saying you're wrong here. Yet. But I'd advise caution.

Re: this is official 'dealing with Richie' icon

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

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]

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.

Re: this is official 'dealing with Richie' icon

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

You're not saying he's wrong?

FUCK you, Graham.

[grahamcommawill.livejournal.com]

I'm saying he's confused.

[scarlet-discord.livejournal.com]

He's an unapologetic creep is what he is. And...

...you just don't fucking understand at all.

[yourunichase]

If you go near her, I'll put a fucking bullet in your head. Floods aren't the same, jackass.

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I heard it the first twenty fucking times. Geez, you're all really into that, aren't you?

[He might be sulking a little.]

[yourunichase]

You have no fucking idea.

[notafuckingnut.livejournal.com]

Considering I've been listening to it for what feels like forever, I really think I fucking do.
