[What?]

Miss Price?

From:

gunsandtango

Hello, Dominic.

From:

arkbound

[At least it is her.]

I don't know what you're thinking with lying to Espio about the nature of our...relationship.

From:

gunsandtango

...What?

[...espio you didn't.]

From:

arkbound

Miss Price, I think we're both smart enough to avoid actions that would be, frankly, suicidal.

[But he's going to be very firm on calling her 'Miss Price' now, to create that extra distance.]

From:

gunsandtango

[espio you did.]

Really? We both regularly jump into situations with people, Cryptids and otherwise, who can and might want to kill us, and you'd call that avoiding suicidal actions?

[she knows this is not the point and she doesn't care.]

From:

arkbound

It's a lot more sane than engaging in a dalliance of a different sort.

From:

gunsandtango

[yeah she would like to argue with him on that but uh. no them sleeping together was super stupid.]

I guess you have a point.

From:

arkbound

I don't know what you were thinking in telling Espio that, but it wasn't helpful.

From:

gunsandtango

If I'd known the situation, I wouldn't have. [which situation is she talking about, is the question.]

From:

arkbound

[Clearly the situation where she was lying.]

Fine.

From:

gunsandtango

[That is not what she meant, and... ok, telling him is not the brightest idea ever. And she's not going to try outright sabotage Espio and his chances. But she also isn't about to let him go that easily.]

For the record, it wasn't a lie.

From:

metachrosis

[Espio was calling you to talk about food, but now he's sidetracked by the message.]

How can you have an unlisted number in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with a population of seventy?

We all already know where you live!

From:

gunsandtango

Sorry, it's an old habit. [Answering the phone like a normal person is too much trouble.]

From:

arkbound

[His voice is hard.]

Prove it.

[He's sure she can't.]

From:

metachrosis

[Paranoid weirdo!]

Riiight. Because that's a good habit for work and stuff.

From:

gunsandtango

Proof I might not be able to provide, but I could make a good case for it if you were willing to be in my unclothed presence for a little while.

[oh good back on less serious terms, this is easier to work with.]

From:

gunsandtango

It is when having your name easily accessible could lead to people wanting to kill you knocking down your door.

[Paranoid, yes, but generally justifiably so.]

Anyway, what's up?

From:

metachrosis

You could always litter the place with traps. Then, even your friends can get their legs broken and need a magical cat-woman to heal them.

Anyway, the point is, I don't know what to cook.

From:

gunsandtango

You make it sound like I didn't do that too. [she's only kidding a little]

Not sure how much help I'll be there. I'll eat pretty much anything. Or, anything normal for human consumption. Unless you just want me to pick something.

From:

arkbound

I-- No.

That's the worst ploy to convince me to disarm that I've ever heard.

From:

gunsandtango

You asked for proof. Unless you can think of anything can prove relationships between people.

From:

arkbound

Aren't you supposed to know my secrets?

[ God help him, but he thinks there might be a chance she's telling the truth. And he wants to know. ]

Or at least where my scars are?

From:

gunsandtango

I know both, but the secrets bit I was kind of expecting you to throw back at me for researching you or some bullshit. Not even entirely sure what you would consider secrets, in some cases.

[it's not like either of them talk about their personal lives a lot.]

From:

arkbound

[Droll.] You're being utterly convincing.

From:

gunsandtango

I'm very good at that. [just as deadpan back.

but hey, you asked for it. have a detailed verbal map of your various pre-apocolypse scars.]

From:

arkbound

[Well...shit.

He's just going to hang up and go process this.

Where 'process' is a euphemism for 'train until he can't think anymore']

From:

gunsandtango

[yeah that's what she thought.]

From:

metachrosis

First thing that comes to mind, and I will tell you if it's doable.

From:

gunsandtango

Pizza.

[you said first thing that came to mind.]

From:

metachrosis

I wish. Think I'd have to find someone to believe that one up. Or I could replace the pizza dough with bread. Works, but it's not the same.

...I miss New Tek's junk food.

From:

gunsandtango

How does believing shit up actually work? Is it simple as just wishing for it?

From:

metachrosis

I don't think so. I think it's somehow deluding yourself into thinking something exists. Like going into the depot and "knowing" there's tinned tomatoes? And it's more likely to work if you've recently had sex - the fuel, I guess.

It doesn't work for me, so I don't know for sure. My belief gets used up on subconscious shit like anything related to being a chameleon.

From:

gunsandtango

Maybe when I get laid I'll try and delude us up some good pizza, then.

From:

metachrosis

[There's a brief pause. Hooold on...]

Ummm...

How long have you been here, again?

From:

gunsandtango

Little less than three weeks, why?

From:

metachrosis

You'd better get on that before you can't even delude yourself into existing. Can you still taste food okay?

From:

gunsandtango

I'm been a bit preoccupied. [turns out that your boyfriend not remembering you, trying to kill you, and your new chameleon friend/roommate clearly pinning over him makes the idea of casual sex kind of unappealing.] Honestly, I usually kind of inhale food so I haven't noticed anything.

From:

metachrosis

Don't leave it. Fading feels terrible - I've been there too many times already.

From:

gunsandtango

Hey, this place had any clubs I would have been all about it already. [this is a slight lie but he doesn't need to know that.] Guess I just need to get on upgrading any friends I've made to friends with benefits.
