[twenty one] [video] It never would have worked out between us.

[goodgrasshopper]

[Molly is cleaning up her room, getting rid of the detritus from the Admiral's creepy attentions.  Mouse is sitting on her bed with a basket that contains a mix CD, a bottle of champagne, and a ton of smiley face cookies.  She's sweeping up flower petals and putting candles away.  She glances at the camera.]

You're right.  It would never have worked out for us.  But it was sweet--in a creepy way--while it lasted.  Thanks for the memories.

...Anyone want to help me eat these cookies?

[ He considers the cookie for a moment, then nods fervently. Somebody bit off more than he can chew, but he's enjoying it at least! ]

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

[Molly's going to laugh again and wait until he finishes chewing and swallowing before speaking.]

From what I hear, the Admiral hands them out when people get whiny. ...I just didn't realize he handed them out when he was being creepy, too.

[SPAM]

Is there really any time that he isn't being creepy?

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

[THOUGHTFUL.]

Well, no. But getting notes like "I hear you, sometimes. At night," and "You're beautiful when you sleep" written in lipstick on my bathroom mirror tips the creepy-meter over into "Fatal Attraction" territory.

That's pretty far over the line.

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

That was kind of what I thought. So, I'm keeping the presents. I think it's the least he should do for the psychological trauma.

And of course--sharing the wealth of cookies.

I guess as long as you got something good out of it...

You shouldn't have to put up with that kind of thing, though.

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

[She shrugs a little]

I think it was a flood. Probably. A lot of people were acting a little strangely. And... I guess I kind of knew that the Admiral saw everything around here. I just didn't really consider the implications of that.

[SPAM]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

Hope you weren't doing anything embarrassing.

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

Just day to day life. I didn't even blow up any potions this week.

[SPAM]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

And that's usually a concern?

Oh, before I forget, you know parlor magic too, right? Or am I thinking of someone else...

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

When I'm working on a potion? Yes.

No, I don't do parlor tricks. I do real magic.

[SPAM]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

My mistake, then. Do you know anybody who does? I'm looking for somebody to teach my inmate.

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

Sorry. The magical people I know are all actual wizards. You could put up a post on the network, to see who might know that kind of stuff.

[SPAM]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

If there are books on it in the library I might be able to teach him myself, but I might do that.

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

[Have a curious look, Wally!]

Do you know any magic tricks?

[SPAM]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

[ He superspeeds around to her other side, just to shown off. ]

None that don't involve superpowers.

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

[laughs] Cute. Superspeed?

Re: [SPAM]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

[ He falters a little at 'cute', but he'll take it. ]

And everything that comes with it.

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

[Cute is a good thing, Wally. It means she likes you.]

Oh yeah? What kind of everything is that?

[SPAM]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

[ He was hoping for 'manly', 'impressive', possibly even a shy 'sexy'. What? A man can dream. ]

Accelerated metabolism, healing, consciousness... Basically I get bored really easy.

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

[It was impressive. And kind of sexy. c: She laughs a little.]

Sounds like ADD from Hell--but I bet that healing's pretty handy sometimes.

[SPAM]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

That sums it up nicely. The healing's saved my life more than a few times.

[SPAM]

[goodgrasshopper]

Oh yeah? What happened?

[SPAM]

[gingerspeedster.livejournal.com]

A lot of things. I get beat up on a regular basis.
