I'd need a journal first to really take advantage of them. Or, I mean, I'm an adult but maybe. If one of them's my favorite color, or something. Now you're just thinking of things that you can give away to people. Unless...is Sailor Moon one of your heroes and I just never knew, Ric? See. Trick question. I wonder what would happen if you got the answer completely wrong. Which is probably what would happen for me. Dejection would be the only prize.
Dejection, courtesy of the man or woman in the box. Maybe they'd write a frowny-face on there for you. One of the pens is purple. You could call dibs. Jenna. I'm more of a Tuxedo Mask [ Mamoru ] guy. I thought that was clear. [ Usagi should not be anyone's hero. She's whiny. And a reluctant hero at best. Shut up, he's a nerd. You know he's a nerd. Old episodes (or new to the US) aired early in the morning in the early 90's. Shut. Up. ]
People in Mystic Falls know that pens are used for more than jorunaling? I'd remember you inviting me to a town-wide writing celebration. Maybe it just runs in the family.
What a job. Wonder how someone manages to get it. I mean, I could do that. Jot down smiley and frowny faces as appropriate. Purple and sparkly? Alaric. Did you see those pictures from my teenage years with collages all over my bedroom without me realizing? I thought I'd burned them all. The pictures, not the collages. Art defamation is a crime, after all. He's the one in...the...tuxedo. No, Ric. I didn't know. Now I do. The more you know. [ Way more of a nerd than she's ever been, but she still likes you.
Or. She. Yeah, no, she still does. Like him. ]
I think you swung into town right after our decade tradition of that, actually. Are you insinuating there's something wrong with our journals?
I'm not sure art defamation is a crime when it's your art. You burned the pictures but spared the collages. I'm picturing cut outs from magazines. You were a Nirvana girl, weren't you? The more you know
Coming from the woman finishing grad school. Were you spending those weekends on campus writing in your journal, no wonder your thesis took all year.
[ This is familiar. This is pain. Even light teasing hurts. He hopes it doesn't hurt her. He hopes he doesn't hurt her. ]
A crime against my former self! And it's dangerous to squash your inner child's spirit. Speaking of! The dramas and scandal live on even to this age. And Pearl Jam!! Were you NOT into them? If so, how? Nirvana is amazing. A testament to their name. You need to teach me how to do that when you come over... [ the emoji ] A girl needs some catharsis every now and then! Journaling and wine, come on. Who needs therapy when you have, well, that sounds bad coming from the psych major, doesn't it? I won't take it back.
[ She's zero percent hurt, from the conversation, in that moment. A plus, right? ]
Who needs therapy when you have that dirty shame we both know so well. I may have liked my early morning anime, but I'm hurt you think I wouldn't like Pearl Jam. Show me someone who didn't like Pearl Jam. Or, tell me about them. They're probably not here with us. And, for the record, Kurt Cobain was a musical genius.
Exactly! And embracing it continues to work out in my best interests. I wasn't sure if I ever knew you with even an inkling of consideration that you didn't like Kurt Cobain OR Pearl Jam. But, I'm relieved. And this makes me wonder...what finding music here might be like. Stuff we'd actually know. And? Everyone liked Pearl Jam. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. Sorry, anyone who isn't a baby boomer and before. You watched anime in the morning rather than sleep in? Huh. I mean, I believe it. Was it better than regular cartoons?
[ So, about that purple pen... Why is talking to you over text so simple to her, Ric? ]
oh a domino effect of smiles. look at what you've done. :) or maybe it's just contagious. or maybe that's the same thing. in this context. either way. :)

fuck a duck, i forgot about this, i'm shipper trash
Date: 2017-04-21 05:43 pm (UTC)Early classes mean never having to sleep in. That sounds more sentimental than it should. I was going for a cliche that didn't quite make it.
:') I too proudly wear the badge of shipper trash
Date: 2017-04-22 03:16 am (UTC)I guess you just didn't realize how much fun sleeping in could be back then.
[ ER ... why would it be fun in Jenna's present day, pre-Ruby City? Or, it was. A handful of times. With Ric. Er... ]
And take more pride in your words, Ric. Cliche it might've been, but I still smiled.
