Mouse (to Vincent): I vaguely remember you calling me a genius, last night... or was I dreaming?
Vincent (to Mouse): I did. B/c U speak good sense when I need 2 hear good sense.
Mouse (to Vincent): Oh well, hurrah for both of us... so, I take it the talk with Poppy went well?
Vincent (to Mouse): It did. We decided 2 give things another try
Mouse (to Vincent): So, does that mean no more pouting & acting like Eep? I don't think I could handle having two surly, mopey men in my life . :-p
Vincent (to Mouse): Heaven forbid. Reality wld crack arnd us.
Mouse (to Vincent): I know... It's been odd. You've been all down in the dumps & Eep has been in a surprisingly good mood ever since he moved. I was beginning to think I had fallen into an alternate reality.
Vincent (to Mouse): Eep, in a good mood? Is he feeling ill?
Mouse (to Vincent): I don't think so. You could always go bug him, I'm sure that would put a scowl on his face in no time. :-p
Vincent (to Mouse): I cld. In fact, I will.
Mouse (to Vincent): Me & my big mouth... (to Eep) Hey handsome, I may have inadvertently sent Vincent in your direction. I'm sorry. You can yell at me later, if you want.
Eep (to Mouse): Oh great. Is he feeling better, at least? And I'm not gonna yell at you. I might yell at Vincent, though.
Mouse (to Eep): He & Poppy made up, so I think so... I think I've had enough of young love to last me a lifetime. Next time, I'm hiding out...
Eep (to Mouse): God. Tell me about it. It's bad enough you have to go through it once when you're an idiot teenager. Let alone having to deal with OTHER peoples' first love angst.
Mouse (to Eep): I think from now on, I'm going to try to not get involved with Vincent's drama. I love him, but it's exhausting. I shall be like Switzerland.
Eep (to Mouse): Heh. A Love Switzerland. Can I be a Love Antarctica? Totally, uninhabitable to non-native life forms.
Mouse (to Eep): I suppose... Any chance we could have an exchange program? I mean, you may want to visit me occasionally... We have chocolate.
Eep (to Mouse): Ooo. Chocolate IS tempting. You could come visit me. I have penguins. Antarctica has penguins, right?
Mouse (to Eep): Hmmm, I don't know... I do like penguins but, the whole uninhabitable to non-native life forms is a bit daunting.
Eep (to Mouse): Well, I couldn't think of another country that would be appropriate. :p
Mouse (to Eep): Oh yes, because you are SOOO much like a frozen, desolate wasteland. You don't fool me, at all.... You're more like Iceland. All scary, formidable name, but secretly quite hospitable to those willing to look. :-P
Eep (to Mouse): Iceland?! I dunno. Do they have penguins in Iceland?
Mouse (to Eep): No, but they do have puffins.
Eep (to Mouse): I'm too inhospitable for puffins. Besides, I'm the most inhospitable person in the world. I was told so by a half naked stranger this morning.
Mouse (to Eep): Oh really? How on earth did you come across a half-naked stranger this morning?
Eep (to Mouse): He was in my kitchen.
Mouse (to Eep): Oh... I guess Robert made friends with the new neighbors, huh?
Eep (to Mouse): One of the brothers of the new neighbors more specifically. And apparently, I'm not very "hospitable" when I find random dudes eating my cereal. Not before I've had coffee.
Mouse (to Eep): Well, I don't blame you at all... I can't be hospitable without coffee either. I think I snapped a little at Delia this morning.
Eep (to Mouse): Uh oh. Well, you can't be blamed. I don't think anyone should be held responsible for their actions before noon.
Mouse (to Eep): Yeah, I'm still getting used to having a roommate. There's been a couple of embarrassing moments.
Eep (to Mouse): Yikes. That sucks. What happened?
Mouse (to Eep): Ummm, I forgot that she was here & walked out of my bedroom naked to turn on the coffeepot. She just happened to be walking out of the guestroom at the same moment. Luckily, I swerved into the bathroom & grabbed my robe from the door before it got too weird. I'm hoping that she wasn't quite awake & didn't really see anything.
Eep (to Mouse): Oh God. That's not embarrassing at all. If it makes you feel any better, I referred to the guy in the kitchen this morning a Robert's latest piece of ass.
Mouse (to Eep): heehee, well, if the shoe fits...
Eep (to Mouse): Heh. Yeah. Well, it might have been accurate, but it wasn't exactly polite.
Mouse (to Eep): Ah, and that's why he said you were inhospitable?
Eep (to Mouse): Uh, yeah. That and the fact that I scowled at him and told him he was eating MY fucking cereal.
Mouse (to Eep): You should write a book about making friends. :-P
Eep (to Mouse): … Sorry. Got a little distracted there. So, uh, you walk around your apt naked, huh?
Mouse (to Eep): Yeah... sometimes. I've lived alone ever since Vincent moved out. And, just so you know, I only walk around my apartment naked when the curtains are down, so don't get any funny ideas.
Eep (to Mouse): Who me? Funny ideas? I have no clue what you're talking about.
Mouse (to Eep): Okay, then...
Eep (to Mouse): I mean, unless you WANTED me to get funny ideas. Um, or not.
Mouse (to Eep): You know, if you wanted to see me in the all-together, you just have to ask. ;-)
Delia (to Mouse): soo... about earlier. Are we cool? Was it just early morning or did I do something.. I couldn't tell at the time. Wasn't awake.
Mouse (to Delia): Yeah, we're fine... forgot for a minute that I had a roommate. :-P
Delia (to Mouse): ahhh. Gotcha. Hopefully I'll be out of your hair soon anyway once the insurance clears.
Mouse (to Delia): No worries, it's nice having you around. I just need to remind myself to not leave my room undressed. :-P
Delia (to Mouse): whatever I saw I didn't see anything >.>
Several hours later:
Delia (to Mouse): hey, I'm heading out for the night. Leon will be here in a bit to get me. So if you wanna put a robe on and wait for me to leave. you can have naked time without worrying about anyone other than the cats.
Mouse (to Delia): haha, thanks for the heads up. Have fun! (to Eep) Hey, Delia's going out with Leon, so I have the house to myself for a few hours...
Delia (to Mouse): will do. We're doin dinner and a movie, not sure what time I'll be back in.
Eep (to Mouse): Want some company? I can stop by after work?
Mouse (to Eep): Sure, I'm just curled up in my room with Otto reading a book... Naked... Not really.
Eep (to Mouse): Oh. God. That is so unfair. Even if you are kidding, that's gonna be in my head all night.
Mouse (to Eep): heehee, I'm sorry. :-)
Eep (to Mouse): Yeah. Yeah. Sure you are. :p
