[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...

Comments

[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.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

She probably wasn't expecting it to be cracked by herself, though.

Yeah, that's true...

[the_ex_in_xp]

Honestly, I'm kind of curious for the story about how you convinced me to keep three goddamn rabbits. Was it all at once or did you somehow wear me down a year at a time?

[the_ex_in_excessive]

You're saying that like you're 100% sure that they're mine, though. What if they're yours, Ramona Flowers?

[the_ex_in_xp]

Dude, they're totally yours. You love this fluffy cuteness stuff, it's got to be some universal constant.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

I'm just saying I've seen some of this me's art and she seems pretty serious. And the hairdye stuff opens the door for this you being more whimsical...

[the_ex_in_xp]

Whimsical? Seriously?

[shakes her head] No way. They responded better to you, especially the hyperactive one.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

Yeah, but animals always love me. I'm all Snow White like that. I bet it's you.

[IS THIS TIME FOR THE RAMONA VOICE, I THINK IT'S TIME FOR THE RAMONA VOICE]

"C'mon, dude, it's just three rabbits. And besides, this one's dark red and stuff, just like my hair."

[the_ex_in_xp]

[chucks a pillow at you :/]

I don't sound like that! And I'd punch any version of myself stupid enough to think I could accessorize with pet hair.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

[ducking!]

Look, my Ramona voice is out of practice, okay? It's been years.

[the_ex_in_xp]

Why, again, do you even have a "Ramona voice"?

[the_ex_in_excessive]

The more important question is "why not?"

Besides, I love your voice. You usually sound so cool and aloof.

[the_ex_in_xp]

Rox, you were the opposite of aloof there. The "c'mon" alone sounded like you wanted to tug on my arm and take you out for ice cream, it was that invested in feelings and whatever.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

I'm talking about the tone, not the words. I'm not cool enough to talk like you.

[the_ex_in_xp]

I'm not cool, I'm just constantly disinterested. And definitely not whimsical.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

I'm not saying that you you is whimsical, though.

[the_ex_in_xp]

[sighing, maybe wishing she was capable of being whimsical if it meant having a functional emotional response pallet]

She's not either, her playlist is lacking in twee indie bands and Smiths music. Well, besides the obvious classics...

[the_ex_in_excessive]

Oh, yeah? What's she got?

[the_ex_in_xp]

A lot of everything, mostly.

[grabbing up the laptop again and flipping through the tracks]

The Replacements, Rilo Kiley, Sade, One Day As A Lion, Sigur Ros, Neutral Milk Hotel, some Joan Baez.

Joy Division isn't in her top played list, that's just wrong...

[the_ex_in_excessive]

[sighing and glancing around the room and spotting an open laptop in the corner, plugged into a wall socket and walking over to it]

I guess that makes that one mine, huh? Too bad I'm terrible at passwords, but maybe --

[as she picks it up the screensaver, which was just a blank black space, suddenly turns off]

-- maybe I never turned it off in the first place and didn't give it an automatic shutdown time. Huh!

[the_ex_in_xp]

...man, you're a sucky ninja.

[the_ex_in_excessive]

Half-ninja. Probably.

... Rilo Kiley, Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill, Patsy Cline, Sigur Ros, Sonic Youth, Le Tigre, Lucinda Williams, Wu-Tang Clan...

[pausing so she can laugh a little]

Hey, here's Joy Division.

[the_ex_in_xp]

Half-ninja then.

[sliding over so she can see, since Ramona's playlist has a lot of those too but she's interested in seeing how much they get played...and, okay, maybe she's interested in seeing what the ninja version of Roxanne is like]

...you really love Patsy Cline.
