[eight] That was a wild ride.

[goodgrasshopper]

Well, that was interesting. Did everyone fare okay?

[private to Amanda]
This is me asking once, in a non-getting-in-your-face way.  Are you okay?  Do you need anything?

[private to Cissie]
So, good times were had by all, huh, cuz?

[private to Murphy]
[small smirk] I'm sorry I was a bad influence on your impressionable young daughter.  Aunt Estelle.

[private to Claire]
...Things got a little crazy at the end there.  You all right?

Oh yeah. That actually wasn't too bad... mobs and religious zealots aside. I've always wanted a cousin, though.

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

You were a pretty cool cousin. [grin] So... I was your bad influence. I haven't been a bad influence in a long time.

[Private]

[cisskabob]

So were you. I had a pretty heavy case of hero worship going, actually. And I think you were more of a good influence than a bad one.

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

Aww. You're destroying my badass mystique.

[Private]

[cisskabob]

Hey, I only wish I'd had a badass cousin like you when I was younger.

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

I would have been happy to be a good/bad influence on you.

[Private]

[cisskabob]

I think we probably would have gotten into a lot of trouble when we were younger and wilder. And that it would have been pretty awesome.

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

Hm. I hope we would have gotten into much more benign trouble than the kind I actually did get in when I was a teenager.

But yeah. A healthy outlet for those trouble-making tendencies? Would have been pretty awesome.

[Private]

[cisskabob]

"Hope" being the operative word. Did I tell you about the time I played baseball with aliens?

You're right, though. It would have been.

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

...You're going to have to repeat that. Baseball? Aliens?

[Private]

[cisskabob]

I wasn't even doing the hero thing anymore! And I wound up on an alien planet playing a baseball game against these guys who wanted to take over the planet. Baseball, Molly.

[goodgrasshopper]

...I'm guessing that as an archer, it's not your favorite sport.

[Private]

[cisskabob]

There are not words for how much I hate that game.

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

I can relate. One of my little sisters is into softball these day. We go to a lot of games.

[Private]

[cisskabob]

I'd rather watch than play, at least.

[Private]

[goodgrasshopper]

I know exactly how you feel.
