First Run - Hi, what the hell?

[speeding]

Okay. So.

• Magical journal? Check.
• Shower has been had? Check.
• Actually not-goopy clothing that still doesn't really fit? Check.
• Waking up in the most insane excuse for a social study without any memories or, you know, clothes, and being told the low-down by some poor girl who looked like she was going to faint? Double check.
• Getting practically manhandled around to god knows where without anyone telling me what the hell this is about and ending up writing this next to an endless rack of lady's high heels? GO TIME.

But seriously, magical journal, what the heck is going on?

Uh, and if these things work the way I'm told they are supposed to-- Hello there my fellow lab rats. I guess welcome me to the maze? And, you know, direct me to the cheese and not the sparks.

The name's Dash, by the way. As in dashingly handsome, or dashing to the rescue. You know, I’m good with either.

god I feel like a dork talking to a journal.

No. You said we had been abducted.

By aliens.

And then I said something about psychology experiments and reality television. Don't make me direct quote at you, Mr. "I Lost My First Journal Whoops."

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

Oi. So totally not my fault! All I seem to recall is that I was pretty certain for the first five minutes that you were certifiable.

[distant-dragon.livejournal.com]

...only the first five minutes?

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

Well, then I stopped being just pretty certain and started just straight out knowing this was the case.

[distant-dragon.livejournal.com]

Aha. Valid, entirely valid. As you were.

Hey, where are you? I lost track of you in the shuffle.

[speeding]

I'm gonna totally leap to High Strung's defense here.

Alien abduction is totally plausible in my book. Right up there with multidimensional science experiment.

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

Ah, and a challenger appears.

Are you going to be upsetting the pre-established balance of power here, dude? Cause the last thing we need right now is Want getting encouragement with his random bouts of Want-ness.

[speeding]

I don't even know your name yet Number 5! are you alive?

Whoa... Anyway.

Upsetting the balance of power? Yeah, I could totally swing that. Shaking things up sounds like a good time to me. Encouragement of Want-ness is go, I think.

What ya gonna do about it?

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

We could throw down? Like, old school-style in aisle four surrounded by kiddie galoshes? Or we could be arch-enemies?

I've always wanted one of those.

[speeding]

Old school throw down in the kiddy galoshes aisle sounds totally cool with me, Throne.

Than again arch-enemies could also be cool. Every move you make I will be there, waiting to thwart you.

I have no idea if I've always wanted one, but hey, I'm a nice guy, how could I deny a life-long wish of yours, T-man?

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

Only if after wards we get to ask somebody to announce over the loudspeaker, 'Clean up on aisle four, clean up on aisle four.' You know, for effect.

We must also plan on revealing our cunning plans to one another at completely</> inopportune times to maximize thwartage. Sound good?

Who cares if you don't know if you've always wanted one before -- doesn't the prospect of possibly having one now fill you with neverending waves of delight? ...Or is that just me?


And possibly Want.

[speeding]

Yeah, yeah I'm totally down for that, because it's not the same if it's not on loud speaker, right?

Alright, this sounds like a deal. I'll reveal my nefarious plots if you reveal your cunning schemes and their only weaknesses; we can totally be all Arch-nemesis. Especially if I get a lair. I vote on a lair being in there somewhere. It's got to be part of the deal.

Maybe not waves but I'm already working on practicing my evil cackle, if that helps?

[unlostsoul.livejournal.com]

See if I ever have a bout of "Want-ness" again then, dude.

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

Oh, come on. Don't get all in a twist.

Occasionally a bout of Want-ness is just what the world needs. But then if I encourage you, then I wouldn't be impossible.

And we all know just how much you love that.

[unlostsoul.livejournal.com]

I could write a witty rejoinder here or a bashful admission that maybe I do.

But unfortunately I am too busy being not like Want.

[child-proteus.livejournal.com]

You're impossible.

But you already knew that.

[unlostsoul.livejournal.com]

Thank you.
