those kids eat you alive yet?

[blacksky]

I've faced down armies on my own. Do you really think children scare me?

[SHE HAS A PLAN, BUT PLEASE SEND HELP.]

[oorah]

i didn't think so until you compared them to ninja armies

[blacksky]

I may be unfamiliar with them. Would it be insensitive to ask for your perspective on how to deal with children?

[Normally she wouldn't care what anyone thinks, but then he had to go treating her like a person. Really rude of him tbh.]

[oorah]

just think of them like little adults. they're really not that different.

[blacksky]

I don't get along with adults. I assume that I'm supposed to get along with them. How do I manage that?

[oorah]

okay they're like adults except without all the learned bullshit. just give them a chance, i bet they'll surprise you.

[blacksky]

I will. What's the worst that could happen? They really do eat me alive?

[oorah]

highly unlikely though the way things are going recently who knows

[blacksky]

My arrival apparently made things more entertaining than usual. Unsurprising really. I wonder if their system has a bug.

[oorah]

don't give them that much credit
their whole system IS a bug

[blacksky]

My mistake. I'm used to having enemies who have some idea what they're doing.

[oorah]

take a page out of my book
incompetence is no excuse for being sloppy

[blacksky]

I'll consider it. Question: who in their right mind brought so many children here to begin with? Unless they were also trained by Stick, they can't possibly be useful for whatever is being planned here.

[oorah]

whoever brought us here
if it was a person
is definitely not in their right damn mind

[blacksky]

Glad we agree on that. Since you've been here the longer than me, I'm going to have to ask you where I should get started in educating myself. As happy as I am not to be dead anymore, I'm not really interested in playing the silent game forever.

[oorah]

there's sign language class every sunday but i can practice with you too. maybe you can get matt there he needs to learn even more than you.

[blacksky]

You've come to the right woman. I got Matthew to take Spanish with me in college just so we could sit together. Sign language should be easy by comparison. He's always been hands-on.

[oorah]

what is it the kids say? T M I

[blacksky]

Relax. We still have the no-sex rule in effect. It'll be strictly PG.

[Now that is TMI.]

[oorah]

why would you tell me that

[blacksky]

Because your mind jumped to sex and it was fun. :) His abilities are why he's so tactile and yet there you are thinking about our sex life without any prompting from me. (Very interesting by the way.) How can I not have a little fun with that?

[oorah]

[ there's a pause, maybe a couple minutes compared to the others. ] you're terrifying

[blacksky]

I know. Aren't you so happy I'm on your side?

[oorah]

i didn't actually know you were
that's nice [ does he even have a side anymore? ]
