108. Plain

That wasn't me.

I dunno what that was but I promise it wasn't me. I'm really sorry if I said something terrible to any of you.

...Especially you, Colette.

Shirley, I think...can I talk to you?

[And there are some apologies that only work in person. Which is why later in the day she'll be going to house 42 and knocking hesitantly on the door]

Just go back to sleep.

I dunno, I'm liking this train of thought.

[Someone's grinning like a Cheshire cat]

[corrinesbell]

Then think it. I've got places to go.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Bah. All right, all right. I suppose you're off to ride the apology EC around town?

[corrinesbell]

...Well I wasn't thinking of it like that.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well. When you're riding the sleep deprivation EC, anything that just pops into your head seems to work.

[corrinesbell]

You didn't sleep either?

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Like I said. I was in a tree.

[corrinesbell]

You can sleep anywhere. Were you running from some female squirrels, too, or something?

Colette thought I was her fiancee, while you were clinging to me. The house was dangerous to my health.

[corrinesbell]

Yeah, I know, but you should've been okay in a tree.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

It wasn't comfortable.

[corrinesbell]

Like walking around all day in those shoes and that outfit was comfortable. Do you know how long I took just doing that to my hair every day?

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Have you seen me do my hair?

[corrinesbell]

You do your hair?

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[corrinesbell]

...Try not doing it one day. See what happens.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Never. I won't be able to get all the tangles out ever again.

[corrinesbell]

I brushed out Raine's hair, I could probably handle yours.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

So, you think you can handle these magnificent, flowing locks?

[corrinesbell]

Not if you talk about them like that.

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Oh come on, you gotta admit I have nice hair.

[corrinesbell]

Well, I've never known any other guy to spend so much time on it.

[Carefully crafted to almost sound like a compliment.]

[pimpinwings.livejournal.com]

Well of course, I'm not like other guys.

[corrinesbell]

Tell me about it.
