CHELSEA BENNET. NINETEEN. i set my clocks early ‘cause i know i’m always late.

[maxwhitaker-archive]

I don’t know if I’m strong enough to go through the whole labor part that many times, though.

[chelseabennet]

Maybe I can help out a little tiny bit in that department. Just a little, though.

[maxwhitaker-archive]

It’s a hard task, but I think we can probably both handle it. I believe in us.

[chelseabennet]

Oh, absolutely. We're strong; of course we can handle something as difficult and grueling as this.

[maxwhitaker-archive]

How many munchkins are in Munchkinland? That’s a lot of trying.

[chelseabennet]

You know, I don't actually know. I guess we'll just have to go for it and hope we get somewhere close.

[maxwhitaker-archive]

It’s cool, Chels. I’d totally have your babies.

[chelseabennet]

I bet you and I could singlehandedly populate Munchkinland if we tried.

[maxwhitaker-archive]

If you think you’re being cute… you’re probably right, but still. Whatever. I’ll let it slide.

[chelseabennet]

It was an accident. I didn't mean to say when.

[maxwhitaker-archive]

No, I definitely heard that part.

[chelseabennet]

That someday you might have to learn how to embrace Frozen at the same time you're loving Jazz and I unconditionally?

[hunterfk]

Yeah but see, it’s not really worth a massive grade which means I can goof around a bit with it so why not, y’know? Plus all of my other ideas required I do actual work so not about that life at the moment. Yeah, for sure. You seriously don’t even need to do more than twelve seconds if you don’t want. I’ll say something about ghosts and you can say that they’re real in a dramatic voice. It’ll be like a sound bite for a Paranormal Activity movie, ‘cept better ‘cause it’s my movie. 

[chelseabennet]

Yeah, why not. I guess I just don't really understand how you can stomach researching about that stuff after everything that happened, but to each their own. Also, I'm pretty sure no matter what, you're going to end up having to do "actual work." I hate to break it to you, but it's inevitable. Sucks, huh? I'll start practicing my dramatic voice now, if you want. "Ghosts... they're out there, and they're real."

[hunterfk]

It was that or I travel to Brazil for a few months to study some weird cult that live along the Amazon. The problem with that was, I have a kid to take care of, I don’t speak Portuguese, and that cult may or may not be a figment of my imagination. But yeah, paranormal experiences. I’m not looking for a serious ass-to-mouth length conversation about it, just a little. You don’t have to do it though, mami. This is a pro-choice environment. 

[chelseabennet]

No, I'll do it. If you need help with something, of course I'll do it; I was just surprised that, out of all the things in the world to make a film about, you chose that, all things considered. Um, can I be one of the shorter ones, though? I try not to think about that stuff that much anymore.

[maxwhitaker-archive]

Hold on. Uh… what’d you just say? Not sure I caught the beginning of that.

[chelseabennet]

That Jasper probably has some archived blog about Pokemon out there somewhere?

[hunterfk]

Don’t be confused, my darling. Life is but a journey that we’re all taking together, one step at a time, hand in hand. Just know that you are living and don’t get your brain into any funny thought knots. The objective is making a movie. Basically, lookin’ for some people to talk about their paranormal experiences and it’s between you guys and that strange woman who hangs out at the train station. Like, as much as I want to trust that her ghost stories are true, I’m actually pretty sure she’s talking about her ex-husband. So, I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that your accounts are probably a little more real, ja feel?

[chelseabennet]

Paranormal experiences? Seriously?

[hunterfk]

Ladies and gentlemen, I, your friend — greatest, most beautiful and trustworthy friend, Hunter Williams require your bodily and spiritual assistance for a little ditty called work. Basically, I’ll give you fifty bucks, you get to spend some time with me and shake your hot ass in front of a camera but your ass is actually your voice. It’s the magic of cinema. Everyone must be over five foot to experience this ride, so that probably counts Max out.  

[hunterfk]

[chelseabennet]

Okay, wait, I'm confused. What, exactly, am I doing for you? I can get in front of a camera, no problem, but what's the objective here?

[maxwhitaker-archive]

I’d probably wimp out and do it under a different name or something. It’s not really worth losing my job over, but it’d be nice, I think. What’s wrong with doing a blog about cats? And is loving you and Jas unconditionally more or less important than embracing Frozen? Because I can only do so many things at once.

[chelseabennet]

It would be nice. It's pretty lame that you don't feel like you can talk about how you feel about shit at work, but that's life, I guess. Nothing's wrong with doing a blog about cats; I bet Jasper has a blog about dogs or Pokemon or maybe both out there somewhere, even if the Pokemon one is a relic leftover from high school. That's a tricky one, actually. They're pretty close, but I think the loving Jasper and I unconditionally wins by just a tiny, tiny bit. Whe-- If we ever have kids, though, you're just gonna have to learn how to do the Frozen thing, too, 'cause, I swear, I will never turn that movie off. Everyone will have to be a Frozaholic.

[rodenlove]

[maxwhitaker-archive]

A blog-type thing where I get to actually say how I feel about shit? I love my job, but I get sick sometimes of playing professional with assholes who don’t deserve anyone’s politeness. Gotta do it ‘cause I’m new and I can’t get away with anything less than giving everybody the utmost respect, but still. I’d like to be able to go off on some of this bullshit.

[chelseabennet]

That might actually be the opposite of lame. As long as you know it's not going to get you in trouble at work, I say go for it. Not gonna lie, I thought you were talking about, like, a blog about cats or something, but that's much better. Talking about how you feel about shit is probably one of the top three most important things you can do, right behind loving Jasper and I unconditionally and embracing Frozen, which is still a masterpiece after five years.

[maxwhitaker-archive]

Would it be lame as fuck to start a blog-type thing?

[chelseabennet]

Define "blog-type thing."

[maxwhitaker-archive]

"Darling it’s better, down where it’s wetter, take it from me." Ha.

[chelseabennet]

Have I ever told you before that you're an idiot?

[maxwhitaker-archive]

… Which Disney movie?

[chelseabennet]

It's been awhile since I watched The Little Mermaid.
