Twenty-second Lotus - blooming twice

[spandexisyouth]

[There are a lot of spots on the page where his pen has rested as he tries to figure out what to write and how. Then his familiar handwriting starts.]

I do not know how to apologize since I still do not know what happened but I am sorry and I am back! And I would like to see everyone who wants to see me.

[There's more pen resting.]

I have a brother now! It is not worth dying over. But now I have one, and I wanted one. So that is good at least.

I think that I need to figure out how to alter the direction of my kick in mid-air. Does anyone have suggestions?

Comments

which one LOL /fail joss fan

For seniors.

[He's on a roll with the old people jokes]

It...means you want to share starches with me? What?

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Offers of tea and sharing starches, hm? My my. Is that what they call it these days? If she's offering you her starches, Genius, I'd take her at that offer.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

WHAT?! NO.

She just said I was a smart ass! Make up your minds!!

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Well, I can't comment on the intelligence of your ass, but I'm sure Fred would agree it's a nice one.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

I am giving you SO MUCH LEEWAY right now because you just got Youth back.

SO MUCH.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

What if I don't want any leeway?

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

No collar for you.

[burnt_orangesky]

Bite your tongue.

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Pro-tip woman-friend, that comment will only make this conversation worse.

It's British for 'shut up', ok? -_-

[burnt_orangesky]

Anything I could have said in response to that would have made the conversation worse.

i know ^_^

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

We could just ignore him?

I'd like to go to breakfast with you sometime. Just...warn me in advance cause I usually stay up to 4am when I don't have a morning lab shift.

Heh, just making sure >_> Also 1/idk

[burnt_orangesky]

A fine plan.

2/idk

[burnt_orangesky]

[Pause.

Wait.

What?

No really, what.]

3/idk

[burnt_orangesky]

[In the context of this conversation, that innocent little breakfast invitation suddenly became HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS.]

4/5

[burnt_orangesky]

[Pentaps

You know, if anything was guaranteed to make Bell sit up and pay attention to this conversation, that sentence would be it.]

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

That won't stop the pen.

Though if Youth can keep my tongue occupied, I might be too distracted to bother with the pen at all. So maybe you should be directing your command towards Youth, as: bite Bell's tongue.

[spandexisyouth]

You wan

I am not writing this.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

I wan--? Do tell.

Yes, you are.

[burnt_orangesky]

I am not dignifying this with a reply.

Idk, he was drinking coffee and Xander called him out on it, and he said something similar

[burnt_orangesky]

Excuse me, I am not that old. I am likely the equivalent of in my early thirties, in human years.

[Sigh. Just... sigh.]

Never mind. Yes, it means I am offering you free starches. Do you even know what a crumpet is? Aside from British?

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

30 for you, 4,000 for the Men from Mars! You're Sphere-wise older than me too so :P

Something you eat with tea on dainty plates with your pinkie finger up!

...I'm not quite sure I understand what he just said, but anyway...

[burnt_orangesky]

My people are not from Mars, actually. And I am hardly four thousand years old, that would be ridiculous.

[Paaause] Close enough, I suppose.

Ah...yeah there wasn't any real pop culture refenences in that I fail

[man-genius.livejournal.com]

Aw Fred don't be like that. You look great for 4,000!!

When 900 years old YOU reach, look as good you will not, Genius.

[grab-my-bells.livejournal.com]

Lol, it's ok! /pat pat

[burnt_orangesky]

I am far more likely to be closer three hundred, actually. [Sweet Rassilon, she's not old!]
