You're being far too dramatic.

And it really is more of a mission than it is a vacation.

But now I must ask, is that dress for a date by any chance?

[spellslots]

I'm exactly the right amount of dramatic. Always.

[Everyone else in the universe would beg to differ.]

Unless you were sent here to do recon or something, it's not really a mission, bubbale. You're here, you'll get home eventually, just enjoy the break!

Like I am :) with my date I'm not telling you about because I hate you :)

[mannerism]

So there is a date.

I might have known.

Come now, you can't wait to say something.

[spellslots]

He's very handsome and his name starts with N, and ends with "one of your business" :P

I know this may come as a shock, but I only gossip about other people's romantic lives, not my own.

[mannerism]

Well, whoever the fella is, make sure you won't go dragging him off in search of too much trouble.

[spellslots]

Maybe he's the one dragging me into trouble!

[mannerism]

Something tells me that's not quite the case.

If it's a mutual getting into-the-trouble matter, well.

[ it's not something she'd usually say but perhaps her mood is a little lighter as of later, her smiles are bit easier to rise to the surface.

no reason, of course. ]

That would be an evening to enjoy. I hope you will.

[spellslots]

[Peggy is right, really, and sometimes he isn't quite sure how to handle how good and nice Eddie is, because he's well aware that he's... not. But that's not the sort of discussion he's getting into.]

Well, maybe not the kind of trouble you're thinking of, but we have our fun ;)

[If all else fails: sex jokes.]

[mannerism]

I could do without the innuendos, thank you. I shan't be asking about that.

[ it's not coy so much as it is dry. ]

So regardless who is the man in question,

will you be wearing the new dress or not?

[spellslots]

You're no fun.

[He torments because he loves.]

I think this one needs to be a special occasion, you know? It definitely deserves a classy restaurant, if nothing else, and that wasn't the plan for tonight.

[mannerism]

I won't ask what is.

But I don't know if this place has the equivalent of La Martinique.

It's a nice club, before you ask.

[spellslots]

It's a picnic in the park, get your mind out of the gutter

[He literally just made a sex joke but ok.]

Sounds pretty snazzy. There are nice clubs here, not sure if we're at "nice clubs" level yet.

[mannerism]

Are there?

I wasn't aware. Downtown?

[ she's asking for science okay. ]

[spellslots]

Yeeees? They're not my usual jam, I will say, but you can look them up on your phone!

[mannerism]

Honestly, it's as if everything is done by the telephone these days.

A very odd development, that.

[spellslots]

Can you blame them? A computer that fits in your pocket is real fucking useful.

[mannerism]

Your whole life on that thing.

What if it gets lost? or taken? or broken into?

[spellslots]

You could say the same for any shit. My pack gets stolen and I am f u c k e d there's like 10,000GP worth of magical items in there. Or your wallet with all your ID in it. Or like, what if your house burns down?

You can prepare your ass for bad shit to happen, but if people get so paranoid that can't enjoy like, anything, what's even the point?

[mannerism]

Are you suggesting I'm paranoid, Taako??

[ because if he does, he'd be absolutely right. ]

[spellslots]

[He found a glitter text generator, god help us all.]

[mannerism]

[ oh my god. ]

a fresh new rule, we are not to have any manner of conversation in unorthodox text.

[spellslots]

[mannerism]

[ w o w ]

You know, I will appeal to the management of this entire facade to remove this manner of messages from the communicator.

You just wait.

[spellslots]

[mannerism]

I am never speaking to you again.

[ huff. ]
