[Sometime during AU week]

[meanwhile at the dorms, a half-pirate and some girl who managed a +3 lockpicking skill in her bag of tricks are trying to break in to "their" room]

This lock is way more sophisticated than the others. You'd think they were worried about unsavory people trying to break in...

Hey, I wouldn't have liked him as much if you didn't make me dress up as him for that party. So it really is your fault, Buttercup.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

[oh god that provokes giggling and the dorkiest grin]

I guess I can take the blame for that, sure...

[the_ex_in_xp]

[moving her hand to lightly push your shoulder, looking mock offended]

Dude, you're not supposed to look that pleased about taking the blame.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

Oh, c'mon, do you really want me to pout over it?

[the_ex_in_xp]

There's a whole range of emotions between pouting and the unrepentant dorky grinning you're doing right now.

[looking on in a "no, seriously, don't pout at me, you already cried I don't know how to deal with these things"]

[the_ex_in_excessive]

Yeah, but you know me. That's where I'd go!

[the_ex_in_xp]

Ugh, fine. Keep grinning like that if you have to. It's not like you don't remember tons of embarrassing incidents to keep you grinning...

[the_ex_in_excessive]

I do. But I'm not gonna bring them up because I know you get all self-conscious about that stuff...

[the_ex_in_xp]

I don't get self-conscious...

[yes, I totally do]

[the_ex_in_excessive]

Really? Not ever?

[the_ex_in_xp]

Why does it sound like you're making it a challenge...?

Not usually.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

[looking like she's in thought for a moment before nodding and grinning, a little cheekily]

Yeah, I agree.

[the_ex_in_xp]

You agree that it sounds like a challenge, is what that smile is telling me. Because I have a feeling you want to tw st it.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

I don't, I swear! But, I mean, if you keep insisting that I do then maybe I'll start getting ideas.

[the_ex_in_xp]

Okay, okay, got it. Ideas bad.

[clears throat] So, uh, you think our counterparts would be okay with us crashing here until we...magically go back or whatever?

[the_ex_in_excessive]

I... don't know. Maybe? I was thinking about the hotel myself just to be polite, but then again I wouldn't want to leave the little guys over there home alone.

[the_ex_in_xp]

I think it's not a problem if you stay. The rabbits really took to you and somehow I bet this place would end up cleaner than when it started.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

Yeah, but would they appreciate that? Messy people are usually all "but I had a system!"

[the_ex_in_xp]

As someone who's used it before, it's really just an excuse. Besides, you'd do the same if they somehow showed up in our places...

[although she's really not sure if another Ramona would be aware of the whole scorned exes league, awkward :\a]

[the_ex_in_excessive]

The same as in complain about having a system?

[the_ex_in_xp]

Okay, maybe you would complain. But you'd also find it in your heart to leave your place as a temporary B&B for some weird alternate reality time traveler.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

Oh! No, I agree. I thought you were suggesting the opposite, sorry.

[the_ex_in_xp]

[laughs softly]

Nah, I was saying even if they're like me and kind of an asshole whose private about their stuff, it'd be okay.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting your privacy respected.

... not that either of us are really doing that today...

[the_ex_in_xp]

Yeah, well...she should've made her password harder to crack.

Besides, this is us. Kind of. And it'd make sense to be curious about it more than just snooping in some random person's stuff.
