Hopefully you don't fall asleep during the movie, but if you're tired after I completely understand. You haven't been feeling well after all. Rest is supposed to help with that. I can wait for you to have enough energy to tell me this story.

That's actually the one you want to start with! I should've asked when you said it would be on, which one it happened to be. IV was the first, then V and VI followed after, of the originals.

I'll try not to fall asleep, but thank you for understanding if I do fall asleep. Between being tired and being sick, it's a tall order for me to stay up through both long movies. Still, I'll do my very best.

Good, then I made the right choice. It looks like V is being shown directly after IV. That's even better, Gwen. It means I'll be able to watch and enjoy both of them. At the very least I'll be able to stay awake through the first one, and with any luck the second.

I wanted to say it's less of a fear of nudity and more of a fear of being in the situation where I am suddenly nude, but it occurred to me that is exactly what it is. I think it comes from people looking to me to lead by example or have the answers, the more I think about it. Although I do have dreams that also involve nudity that are much less..nightmareish in nature.

So you think I should wear a toga dress for Halloween?

I was hoping it would be a specific god, because then I could try to recall any number of the myths out there to figure out why you chose that one specifically.

You can have all the answers even while being nude, you know. If anything, I'd think that would just make your genius even more intimidating. Unless intimidating isn't what you're going for.

I think you should wear whatever you want for Halloween. But for reference, yeah, you did look pretty good in a toga.

The reference was generic, sorry. Though if you want me to assign a particular god to you like I'm a living embodiment of an internet quiz, I can do that. Off the top of my head, I'm thinking of Persephone, but I'll need time to think up a variety of in-depth analytical questions to say for sure.

Wouldn't that be part of the challenge, seeing if it could be understood by someone who's drunk? Or, better yet, explained properly as well?

I can! I think I've tried to bring that out as a party trick before, actually. It's something that only works with certain crowds.

You know me too well, don't you? Now I can't turn down that challenge. Drunken astrogational mathematics it is. Any crowd that doesn't appreciate it isn't worth being part of! Although in certain circles you'd run the risk of having other people try to join in.

It means you're conscious enough to either text back physically or use speech to text. I would of course follow up with more questions if your responses sounded like you needed some kind of medical attention.

What?! Aside from hiding, you're okay, right? Do you think he'll be out of there before you are?

[ continued from here ]

There's definitely eggs in there and butter. And bread somewhere on the counter. That might be able to make something substantial and easy enough for Food Network.

I'm glad you're the one taking care of me. I wouldn't say there's much of an explanation to give other than drinking a little too much.

[ continued from here ]

That's ... complicated.

[ She's sure he's talking about Peter and "complicated" doesn't truly explain things between them, so she hopes he doesn't ask for more specifics behind that. ]

But I meant the text I sent you, that wasn't complicated.

Edited 2022-11-11 07:59 (UTC)

I know. I was already starting to imagine it.

[ Which definitely counts as complicated because there's Peter, and there's his... well... feelings and whatever else that's there. He kind of gave himself away by letting what would've been just a playful conversation slip into something more serious. ]

I don't suppose we could just start over and pretend this serious part didn't happen?

I don't know, might be a little difficult to just rewind back to just before things got a little more serious.

[ And if he's blaming himself for it, she's equal parts blaming herself for it as well. But, she's trying for teasing a bit just to help ease the moment. ]

We can change the subject to something less serious, if that helps.

so this is actually his original journal, hope you don't mind the switch as i go back to this lol!

No? Saying it needs no other identifying questions opens the door up for more, you know. Curious minds and you know how curious my mind is.

How was it a weird night, in addition to a good one?

Does it? Are you sure? I think I read somewhere it’s an end-stop kind of deal.

Aren’t all good times capable of getting weird?

( vague on top of vague, vague squared. maybe a little flirty. )

I'm definitely sure. Usually trying to cut off further questioning just makes others more inquisitive, don't you think?

Sure, depending on your definition of 'weird'. Yours might not be the same as everyone else's.

[ Vague and maybe a little flirty: meet teasing. ]

[ continued from here ]

I think that's what makes us a pretty great team and it allows us to unite on a common goal. I won't even complain if you end up a little late, unless it's because of my doorman and then I'll have to have words with him.

Edited (icon change) 2023-05-29 05:20 (UTC)

I'll be along on time. What do you think we should do once I arrive? I'm open to anything, really. Movies, snacks, drinks, all of the above, maybe. You always have the best ideas, though you're also right that we make an excellent team.

now that teething baby and a cold running rampant in the household isn't keeping me down...!

Uh huh. So how burnt was the toast?

[ If it wasn't burnt, she'll be surprised. ]

How about we get something to make up for the toast?

Edited 2023-05-29 05:26 (UTC)

[ At least he's trying to be cool about this? Though you'd think a space guy who can fly a kriffing ship would have no trouble using a toaster... ]

You know what, I like the sound of that. I don't want to take my chances with these eggs. I also need a proper caf.

[ He really just wants to see her. Sssh. ]

look, it took me two weeks to get to this because teething + a cold in the household SUCK

chocolatehouse - 2023-06-13 22:19 (UTC) - Expand

You look great in purple.

( peter parker, she looks good in everything and officers of the law define this as stalking. )

Do I? I heavily debated between that and blue. I might have even made a list.

[ Is she doing a glance around, now aware that she's ( or at least had been ) being watched? Gwen's gotten pretty good at trusting her gut when it comes to that feeling, but each and every time come up short as far as catching him. And she wouldn't call it stalking ( she knows it is but ) because she's certain sooner or later it will come to an end either through her actions or his own. ]

Have you been there long?

[ It's a vague question, trying to pinpoint where exactly he was watching her from ( not stalking! ) because she was disadvantaged in comparison to him, when it came to varied hiding spots and being able to lurk going unnoticed. If she asks, maybe he'll answer and she can draw him out. ]

You made a list of possible outfit choices.

( not a question because of course she did. she tried them in the floor length mirror, held up against her on the hangers, and she still made a list of pros and cons. god, he can see it. he can feel the carpet of her bedroom floor on his bare feet, can smell her perfume, hear the indignant squeak in her voice before she laughs and thumps a pillow against his head because he's trying to get her to come back to bed — and he's losing it, full-blown fantasy style. )

Long enough. I needed a place to land and cram some lunch in my face.

( which is not the glaring, neon sign of a hint she's looking for, probably. it's more than anyone else would get. )

it's me - hi - i'm the problem it's me... comin' back to this nearly three weeks later

It looks like it tried to separate some, but it's very purple.
What were you trying to make?
If you're going for a new purple web fluid as a mix of the blue and the red, I think you should stick with white.

I was trying to make an expanding foam

Like instead of making webs for people to land on when they fall and then are stuck there for a bit, to make a soft, expanding foam they an land on
