uncurtained | pc catchall for dick (heh) (unpredicktable)

I'd bring a helicopter.

[ it's said brightly. because he's an asshole. ]

And if you had to pick just one?

Not everyone knows how to fly a helicopter.

[Check your privilege!!! But she pauses, thinking.]

That's like asking me to pick my favorite child. But okay, um... Bluets, by Maggie Nelson.

Everyone should get on that, it's very helpful.

[ again, just. cheery tone. but. hm. ]

Any special significance to that one?

Are you going to pay for it, for everyone?

[She shrugs.]

Kind of. I don't want to give you my sob story, but I went through... kind of a bad break up recently, and it helped a lot. And her writing style is just - fantastic.

The helicopter, or the flight lessons? 'Cause the latter I can probably just do for free.

[ dick continues to pretend he ain't a fucking rich brat. moving on-- he looks a bit serious ]

That sounds rough. [ dick grayson, who is friends with all his exes and one night stands: wow can't relate. ] It... was my turn, right? Truth.

If only we didn't have a notable shortage of helicopters laying around here.

[She waves a hand as if to dispel that seriousness, though, thinking about her next question.]

Okay... If you had to pick one person here to take out, who would it be?

[She wants to Tease.]

[ he's.

he's thinking about it too seriously. ]

On a date, or are we talking one night stand?

Well, I meant date, but now I'm curious about both.

You're making me food and we're getting to know each other, so I think we've already got the answer for that one.

[ breezing past this BLATANT flirting; ]

For a one-night, maybe Tonbokiri? He looks like he'd be fun to climb.

[

i'm so sorry ]

[She wasn't really expecting either of those things, but after a few moments:]

I can't say I've talked to him much, but... Good taste on both counts.

[hm. anyways, she’s going to flirt right back.]

Where would we go? On the date.

Not any kind of hotel, I can tell you that much.

[ way to bring the mood down? wow ]

Well, since it's a hypothetical-- wanna go to Cambridge?

Aren’t hotels usually for after the date, anyways? I’ve never started there.

[anyways! she laughs.]

...Sure. I’d love to go on a hypothetical date to another country entirely.

I at least try to bring them back to my place, I've got a little class.

[ is it class. is it. ]

One of the most poetic cities in the world, and that's how you react? We can just stick with dinner and a movie if you want.

I guess you didn't have to deal with roommates or thin walls.

[She laughs.]

What, did you want me to swoon? Because that can be arranged.

I wouldn't mind a little swooning.

[ he says nothing on the roommate or thin wall front because what? ha ha, ]

[She leans back against the counter, pressing the back of her hand to her forehead.]

Are we good?

A little lacking in the delivery, but I'll take it.

I don't work well under pressure.

[Moving on!]

Truth.

[ i mean, he kinda has to now, so-- ]

Right back at you. Who would you take out, out of everyone here?

Edited 2019-10-14 18:37 (UTC)

Well, if I'm using your categories, I don't think Higekiri would be bad for a one night stand.

[Casually.]

And for the other... I wouldn't mind doing something like this again, if you ever wanted to.

Ohh, good pick.

[ dick looks like he's, y'know, considering it for a second. i hate this. anyway; ]

Great. 'Cause I wouldn't mind either. [ and then because this is still? the middle of a game? ] Truth.

...Cool.

[But she's going to be Smooth and not dwell on it!! Instead:]

Okay. Best song to sing in the shower?

Oooh, that's tough one. I'm not a singer [ shut the fuck up, jesse mccartney ] but "Don't Go Breaking My Heart"? Any song that's a duet so you're struggling to sing both parts are the best in the shower.

How into it do you get? Are you the soap microphone type?

When I got my own place, my shampoo bottle may or may not have gotten a full concert.
