mingle mangle

[takeabow]

Who: anyone!
Broadcast: why not!
Action: sure!
When: Whenever!

[ what are you up to, flooters? passing the time playing cribbage? watching Die Hard with a Vengeance, or maybe trying to repair friendships and perceptions of people that were dashed by invasive dreamscapes?

This is a mingle, so enjoy! ]

You should write your own book.

[ he's reaching over, trying to take hers just to peer at it ]

[takeabow]

[ lets him, though at first it doesn't seem like she will ]

About what?

so stupidly meta im sorry....

[evildetector]

[ he'll whine while she resists, but just playfully. ]

I dunno. About you? You've seen some serious shit, Nova. I'd read that book.

you're the best

[takeabow]

Oh, come on. No one would want to read what I have to say. It's too much. It's not realistic.

[evildetector]

My best friend is a werewolf and I got possessed by a creepy evil fox spirit.

[takeabow]

To be fair, I probably wouldn't believe that if I didn't know you guys.

[evildetector]

I'm just saying... "believable" means different things for different people.

[takeabow]

I guess.

I'm no good at writing, anyway. I hated school.

[evildetector]

What was school like for you, anyway? I don't think I've ever asked.

[takeabow]

[ shrugs ]

I don't know. I liked choir. Most of the time I wanted to be outside. I missed a lot after my dad died because trying to get enough food for us was a full time job.

[evildetector]

You had choir in school?

[ whoah. that doesn't really fit the ultradark dystopian narrative mental image he's built in his head, here. ]

[takeabow]

Yeah, we mostly sang songs about how great the Capitol is, but we worked some folk songs in there too.

[evildetector]

So, uh. State-sponsored indoctrination, huh.

[takeabow]

Would you expect anything less?

[evildetector]

From everything else I've heard at this point? Not really, no.

[takeabow]

But it was still one of the best classes.

[evildetector]

Do you miss it? Singing. Or - school, even.

[takeabow]

[ slightly defensively, though she can't really remember the last time ]

I sing.

But school, no. It was mostly a waste of time.

[evildetector]

I've never heard you sing. [ it's a playful little challenge. ]

[takeabow]

Sure you have.

[ hasn't he? ]

[evildetector]

[ probably. he's definitely going to pretend he hasn't now, though. ]

I dunno. I think I'd remember...

[takeabow]

[ she's getting shy ]

You have a terrible memory.
