Date: 2021-05-28 02:23 pm (UTC)You're lucky I didn't come looking for you - I almost did. But there was a lot that happened here at the casino...
You need help replacing the couch?
<a.dyer>
Date: 2021-05-28 09:02 pm (UTC)Um. Yes. After I'm done moving? I hate not having the one couch I don't need to struggle to get comfortable on. My tail gets it the way a ton.

Date: 2021-06-02 07:25 pm (UTC)But let me figure it out? Frankly the number of limbs I'm dealing with makes most furniture annoying.

No problem. Just keep me posted and I'll help with the price tag when you're ready for it. If this date works out you're gonna need someplace you can both sit comfortably. You know. For awkward makeouts or whatever.

Date: 2021-06-04 01:40 am (UTC)I haven't even thought that far ahead. Honestly? Impulsive date asking. I still like that guy Altair. I'm just not sure what to ~do~ and then all the sudden I'm composing and sending off a letter to Peace about a date. Maybe I'm not ready for him?
All I know is even though this was impulsive it feels like the right choice. It's not like I'm hiding going out on dates with other people.
[ Annie isn't in a relationship yet. Sometimes it just feels like one. ]
I think after the date I need to have a serious chat with him. Figure this out.

Date: 2021-06-04 01:47 am (UTC)[look at him using all the modern slang he's picking up from his cooler (read: younger) friends.
how do you do, fellow kids? anyway, though, he reads over Annie's latest message a few times. plan ahead? in terms of personal shit? is that something people actually DO? he sure knows none of his siblings did. he's lost count of how many times in this conversation he's wondered why SHE came to HIM for relationship advice]
So ... it doesn't feel like asking this Peace girl out was, what, a panic avoidance move? Like ... I don't know, when my brother Diego was on the verge of finally curing himself of his stutter and he stuffed half a slice of burning hot cheese pizza in his mouth so it wouldn't be comfortable to talk for half a week?

Date: 2021-06-04 02:01 am (UTC)[ Actually.... in context that does make sense. But thinking on it that doesn't seem to be the case. ]
Not exactly. I've been noticing Peace for a bit.
The issue with Altair is when we actually talk about our feelings things don't really seem to push forward? Much? I end up being the one who starts things. I'm also not doing this to spite him either. I don't want to hurt him I just might not be someone who handles monogamy well. That's another thing I've been thinking over.
[ Okay now she is thinking about food because he basically just gave her the idea of shoving Peace in her mouth because apparently Peace is pizza.
Thanks. ]

Date: 2021-06-05 11:45 pm (UTC)<a.dyer>
Date: 2021-06-06 05:54 pm (UTC)I would have pushed if he kept running. But we had a bit of a heart-to-heart. He also isn't mad I went out on dates with other people? He is mad one of them turned out to be a wanna-be monster hunter and I had to kill the idiot. Mostly I think Altair wasn't happy that he found me a bit hurt. (It was nothing I was mostly winding.)
The whole thing is going to involve me being honest with them both. Whatever happens, at least I'll do my best to not hurt them.

Date: 2021-06-07 02:33 am (UTC)[Dolores looks ENTIRELY too smug for his tastes at the moment, and he rolls his eyes at her. not that Annie can see this, of course]

Date: 2021-06-07 07:38 pm (UTC)I get it from my Mom. I've seen her office when she is doing several cases at once. It gets a bit crazy mostly because she cares about her clients so much.
I get my desire to over do things from Dad. Ha.
no subject
Date: 2021-06-09 04:30 am (UTC)... but this is bitter old man talk. You have a date to get ready for.
<a.dyer>
Date: 2021-06-09 05:10 am (UTC)I was supposed to have like, six older siblings. It's also why I try too hard sometimes. I feel like I'm making up for the what-ifs.

Date: 2021-06-10 10:02 pm (UTC)For what it's worth, I also thought your brain-chunk version of your sister was pretty cool. I know it was based off your memories and like, mental map of her, but that was kind of the same with my Dad.
My friend Danielle used to be convinced Dad was non-neurotypical. Which I guess? I thought him sometimes challenging guests to sword fights was normal for him.
<a.dyer>
Date: 2021-06-12 07:31 am (UTC)That was a concern. Peace and I had fun.
<NeverAcorned>
Date: 2021-06-12 07:59 pm (UTC)God, can't she just come over if she wants to bother me?
"She's young. This is the technology of the young. Maybe you should embrace it more if you're so dedicated to Starting Over, darling."
Ugh. Don't give me that smirk, Dolores. Get a better hobby than badgering me. [right. fingers to the keyboard. ignoring the mannequin ex now]
Compared to my siblings from home, you couldn't be a disaster on their level if you tried. But I'm glad. Where'd you end up going?
no subject
Date: 2021-06-12 08:08 pm (UTC)But ... thanks. I think Vanya was always my favorite, but ... she got such a bad rap from everyone else, and it only got worse after I left. Part of me wishes she'd show up here, but ... the other part of me figures she's already been through enough shit.
Your dad seemed pretty cool, aside from trying to ground me. Amusing as that was.
<a.dyer>
Date: 2021-06-12 09:32 pm (UTC)We went to Ragnarök. She also wants a second date.
I think we're giving it a go? I wanted it to be fair, so I told her she gets to pick what we do next.
[ For her part, Annie is at home by now. Her house may have moved, but it is still outside Bavan and still near Lake Dala. She had thought of dropping by the casino, but working in the bakery today had been incredibly tiring. She is resting on her back deck enjoying the breeze for the moment trying to relax. ]

Date: 2021-06-12 09:38 pm (UTC)I get it. I sometimes wish that the Fog would bring one of my friends. I mean, she can bring people back. But I don't want to be selfish.
Dad did jokingly ground all my friends. He would look in on us in the movie room and just call out "you're all grounded!" Mom was more likely to drop by with more food and sneak in a movie or two with us. She didn't care for horror, so that's how I got in a healthy dose of old 60s sci-fi movies.

Date: 2021-06-14 05:06 pm (UTC)Ragnarok, that's that new place that used to be the really ugly inn the 70s spat out, isn't it? The guys running it were my parents in that weird alternate life. They're decent people. How was it?
Re: <a.dyer>
Date: 2021-06-14 05:22 pm (UTC)[especially since that's the boat he'd be in if the Fog brought Ben here, too]
You should tell Peace about your movie idea. See what she thinks.
