[ Okay, today is the day that Linda tries to make herself use the weird magic journal that is probably something evil and horrible that sucks her soul out at night. Let's do this thing. Just open the book, and think about people, and... ]

How do you guys get used to talking into a book? I feel crazed.

[ There's a long pause. Yeah this is weird. ]

Man, I miss phones. Regular old corded phones. Or the funny ones, like that one shaped like a hamburger. I always wanted one of those.

[ And another long pause. How do I journal. ]

Right. This has officially gone past insane and into awkward.

By doing exactly what you're doing right now.

[nottallerordead]

Somebody's never heard of a rhetorical question.

[whistles_the_blues]

Rhetorical or not, it was still a stupid question.

It's how things work around here, get used to it.

[nottallerordead]

You don't make a lot of friends, do you.

[whistles_the_blues]

Hn. I'm not here to make friends with you.

[Yeah, he has trouble making friends.]

[nottallerordead]

No, obviously you're just here to vent at me.

[whistles_the_blues]

[Well. She caught on to that fast, probably because he was about unsubtle about it as you can get.]

...Obviously.

[nottallerordead]

So, what, is it my birthday? Or did I just win the rude venting lottery?

[whistles_the_blues]

I'm sure you can figure that out for yourself.

[nottallerordead]

[ There's a long pause. ]

I so don't have to take this crap, but what the hell are you talking about? I don't even know who you are, and I sure as hell didn't kick your puppy or anything like that.

[whistles_the_blues]

You're right. You didn't do anything. You just happen to be a part of a bad joke the castle is playing, one that happens to really grind my gears.

[nottallerordead]

Oh, well, as long as you realize you're being an immature jerk, I guess that makes it okay.

[whistles_the_blues]

What ever you say.

[nottallerordead]

[ Facepalm. ]

Just do me a favor and take your snide comments to someone else. I have enough to worry about already.

[whistles_the_blues]

I'll do as I please thank you very much.

...What could you possibly have to worry about around here? You're Supergirl, aren't you?

[nottallerordead]

[ Uh oh ]

What kind of a name is Supergirl?

[whistles_the_blues]

Don't play dumb. I saw the emblem on your shirt the last time we ran into each other, the cape.

[nottallerordead]

You have me confused for someone else, dude. Nobody in their right mind wears a cape.

[whistles_the_blues]

For some reason, I doubt that. Or you must have been having an off day when I ran into you last.

[nottallerordead]

See, that's the thing. I've never met you. I've met like, two people here, total.

[whistles_the_blues]

Care to explain why you sound just like the girl I ran into the other day?

[nottallerordead]

Because you need to get your hearing checked? Because I'm talking into an open book? Because we both have American accents? Because how the hell should I know?

[whistles_the_blues]

My hearing works just fine, it doesn't need to be re-calibrated.

I like how long it took me to realize this hadn't been answered

[nottallerordead]

Then it's probably one of the other three explanations I offered.

Don't sweat it, I've been a bit slow lately too.

[whistles_the_blues]

Well, I doubt each of those, but I suppose I don't have any way to prove you wrong at the moment.
