VIDEO / forwarddated to tonight!

[centurybaby]

[ from the angle of the camera, it looks like the comm is propped up against a pillow, facing a cranky and tired looking jenny, who's laying on her belly in bed with the blankets pulled up over her head like a hood. a messy chunk of her hair is sticking out from underneath-- must be what she needs all those damn hair clips for.

in the background, echoing off spaceship hallways, what sounds like... autotuned howling can be heard. ]

Jesus H. Christ.

[ she burrows deeper under the blankets. ]

It was kinda fucking cute like, six hours ago. But, look, even the Spirit of the 21st fucking Century needs a little fucking shut-eye, okay?

[ another t-pain ARRROoOOoooOOooo. hurggggh. jenny flings the covers back abruptly and storms over to her bedroom door, flinging it open and shouting down the hall: ]

Dad. Do you fucking hear that? For fuck's sake, if you're gonna let Deputy Mayor fucking howl in the middle of the fucking night, I swear I'm gonna teleport him right into bed with you and let him piss WD-40 on your good fucking sheets!

[ slamming the door shut and flopping back down on the bed: ]

Fuck. Anybody got room on their couch?

Comments

[foreverbouncing]

Maybe! [Charlie had the worst secret ID ever but it was still a secret. Kinda.] But I know people who do either way so. [A shrug.]

You want to use one of these places? There's one that's not really a safehouse any more since I...kinda...made it public on accident last year, you could crash there.

[centurybaby]

[ jenny just assumes 80% of imports wear spandex and run around at night in capes. ]

Might take you up on it. Still trying to decide if I'm too pissed at my best friend to crash at his place.

[foreverbouncing]

Just lemmie know.

[And 'cause she's nosey...]

What happened?

[centurybaby]

Apparently his other best friend is an even bigger asshole than I am. I now officially know this through personal fucking experience.

[foreverbouncing]

Oh, that sucks.

...But like, he's still your friend right?

[centurybaby]

[ a long beat. ]

Well, yeah. I mean, I think so.

[foreverbouncing]

So crash with him? It's not like one fight wrecks a friendship.

[centurybaby]

But he's being a fucking asshole.

[foreverbouncing]

...That bad?

[centurybaby]

No. Not really.

I'm just want to be fucking pissed about it, okay?

[foreverbouncing]

...I guess. I'm kinda crummy at staying mad at pretty much everybody, so I don't really get it, but whatever.

Give him a punch in the nose, that might make you feel better.

[centurybaby]

I did dunk him in a toilet the last time I was mad.

[foreverbouncing]

Oh hey, do that again, then! I bet that was hilarious.

[centurybaby]

Eh. Doesn't have as much swag the second time.

[foreverbouncing]

Hmmmmmmm....

And you don't want to go with the old wallop to the schnoz plan?

[centurybaby]

I don't actually want to hurt him.

[foreverbouncing]

It really helps, let me tell you.

Well, okay.

...

You could dye him purple.

[centurybaby]

Do you normally go around punching people and-or dying them fucking purple?

[foreverbouncing]

...Not really? But when I got in a fight with Lori it helped.

I just saw the purple thing in a movie, that's all. It washed off in like, a week.

[centurybaby]

Who's Lori?

[foreverbouncing]

Lori? Uh. Black Alice, she's...back home, not here. [And her relative, somehow, though Charlie doesn't get that part at all.]

We didn't really get along. At all.

[centurybaby]

So. You punched her.

[foreverbouncing]

She stole my powers first!

Then I punched her.

[centurybaby]

Sounds fun.

[foreverbouncing]

It kinda was. I totally won.
