Or I won't.

Don't be boring."

Indeed you were.

Thankfully, I highly doubt anyone here could remain angry with you for any significant length of time.

[Hint: he's not mad.]

[itistolaugh]

[ Oh no, is he disappointed? EVEN WORSE. ]

i cant tell if youre making fun of me or not but im gonna go with yes

pleeeease can i make it up to you i dont want you mad at me
i can be a good girl!

[restingstitchface]

Cease begging me for a second chance.

Go out there and do something about your mistakes. Don't plead and cry. It's unbecoming of someone of your intelligence.

[Which is nowhere as good as his own but hey.]

[itistolaugh]

k

do what???

[restingstitchface]

Don't go haphazardly from relationship to relationship, though I know you would like to. Find some dignity.

[itistolaugh]

[ Wow, that got personal. Can't she just buy him a book and call it a day? ]

youre not my real mom

[restingstitchface]

Obviously not. I'm not your real father, either.

[itistolaugh]

whats it got to do with you anyway
a big fat nothing thats what

[restingstitchface]

It has everything to do with me when I must endure your wailing. And as long as you keep bringing these conversations home, I'll be giving you my opinion. Although I keep hoping the day will come when I won't have to.

voice;

[itistolaugh]

[ She switches to voice so she can properly wail at him. ]

I have not done that hardly ever!

-- But just hypothetically if I had done that, what relationships specifically might you be talking about?

permavoice; for now!

[restingstitchface]

All of them.

[Where's the lie, though?]

[itistolaugh]

... so I guess I shouldn't tell you what happened with Robert, huh ...

[restingstitchface]

There's no need. I can already imagine, since you raised Callaghan in the first place.

[itistolaugh]

Well-- Well, so what, so I'm just s'posed to be a dateless wonder like you and Julie? No way, Jose!

[restingstitchface]

Of course not. But if you are so pathetically alone and in need of assurance for your childish ego, at least exercise some discretioh.

[itistolaugh]

I wouldn't even know how to start with that.

And besides, if you haven't noticed, I'm not the kinda girl that decent guys go for. Not more'n once, anyway. I'm just working with what I get.

[restingstitchface]

It hadn't escaped my notice. But "working with what you get"? Are you scared of accepting responsibility for the consequences of your decisions, Harleen?

[itistolaugh]

No! [ Maybe? ] Anyway, you can't really be under the impression I could land anyone even slightly respectable. Bet you can't even name a single one.

And you know what else? The more you bring it up, the more your interest in my interests seems a little personal. If you get what I'm sayin'.

[restingstitchface]

Yes, I get what you're saying.

And I find the idea utterly absurd. Therefore, I'm going to let it pass without comment. You might wish to do the same.

[itistolaugh]

You don't see the appeal? Getting to lord over one of those cheerleader types you're so bitter against? Having someone at your beck and call to fawn over your genius and do all the dirty work?

[restingstitchface]

... I thought you claimed not to be one of those cheerleader types?

[Busted.]

[itistolaugh]

I was never a cheerleader but that doesn't mean I don't fit the part. Can't you just see me wearing a little pleated skirt, holding pompoms, not going with you to prom?

[restingstitchface]

Absolutely.

I can see you crashing through the windscreen once the night's over, too. It's a splendid reflection of your life, really.

[itistolaugh]

That's right, Professor, talk dirty to me.

[restingstitchface]

[There's just one, long strangled groan from Crane's end of the line.

Which doesn't at all sound like something else.]
