Are you suggesting I lie to cheat a system, Ms. Bishop?

Wouldn't you pretending to be my little sister be weird? [He can't, or doesn't want to, explain why it feels wrong. It just does.]

I don't complain! I get baffled. And depressed. And I judge humanity a little for its existence. That's all.

I did use my powers at a fair to win games so I could buy my date whatever prize she wanted.

... have you done it before? Pretended to be getting married to get cakes. [A sidestep to a safer topic.]

In my defense, those groans felt earned after that many drinks were thrown in people's faces.

Oh, I did. I was very, very young and trying to impress the first girl I liked. People were dumbfounded, then laughed at the luck of the Irish for a blind kid to finesse the ring toss. Stick found out and reamed me about it later.

[It had, in retrospect, been very reckless of him. An adolescent with anger issues and powers weren't a fabulous combination. At least he's gotten better at being discreet.]

... probably. He was absolutely ridiculous a lot of the time. [He can hear the shift in her tone. He can feel the shift in his at the mention of their dead friend.]

To which I say... [He makes the groaning sound that she mimicked earlier.]

[OOC: I just came back from breakfast and Easter dinner shopping. I feel so Matt, throwing back to my Catholic upbringing, LOL. I always cook Easter dinner for my family.]

Definitely a stupid move. How about you? You ever do anything dumb in the name of young romance?

He would have been so smug that we saw the Rogers musical and he had new people to talk about it with.

Isn't that where they all live in a house and vote one another off for no discernable reason but views?

That's a yes.

Not sure Foggy should be trusted around people when he gets too excited, so that might be for the better he didn't.

That does not make it sound any better.

You're not old enough to have a very long time ago.

Yeah. He would have wanted that.

I would not want to watch people really hurt themselves or others, no.

How annoying is it, Kate?

The pole dance class does sound fun. A nap also sounds fun. I keep telling myself I'll get around to one of those someday.

I like historical shows. Are there any good new ones? They don't have to be completely accurate. I just like seeing different takes on time periods.

You're not a baby but you're still young.

We just gotta get through tonight.

I don't mind aliens. What show has aliens in it? Besides Star Trek. The Expanse was also really good, by the way. Speaking on science fiction.

Saying you're still young isn't the same as calling you an infant. Twenties is young. I'm not sure why you want it to be considered old, or why young only equates to diapers.

It's one of those days. I got you. You got me. And together we've got everyone else.

I'm down for that. I don't mind conspiracy theories. Who knows. If Thor exists, so can anything, right? I think you'd like The Expanse though now that I'm thinking on it. There are an endless amount of really badass ladies in it.

You can appreciate though that your 'long ago' might not be for me, right? Your first love was what, perhaps around ten years ago? That's not long for me. That happens when people are in different periods of their lives. My first love was closer to thirty years ago. We can be a team and you can still seem young to me, because young does not equate to infant automatically. Stop making every discussion into extremes without nuance. Also, going through shit doesn't automatically equate to a long timeline. One person could go through more in one year than another in a lifetime. That doesn't mean shit for 'a long time ago.'

I'll make sure that you have a chance to rest and recoup.

I love science fiction. Especially when it's hopeful about the future.

If I can. I'm almost afraid to say too much about resting and jinx us all out of it.

I like Star Wars. I like some of the television shows a lot more than the recent movies. Well, I guess they're not so recent now, but the last made movies.

Why does it feel like that's the start of a blues song.

Ha. I haven't dressed up for Halloween in a long time. Let me guess, you always do.
