"Fuck that. If they can’t tell you up front then fuck’em." He stared at her and wondered why anyone would care about something like this. "Uh, I never go on dates. They don’t do that much for me. Everyone trying to impress each other, give off this weird perception of themselves to some stranger. If you can’t tell them the truth from the get go, or be yourself then I don’t see the allure." He also couldn’t eat anyone in front of them,so that’s another thing he was leaving out right there.

"Yeah well..." what could she say to that really? "It's gets annoying when your brothers have someone, and your sister always had someone, and your other sister couldn't care less and would rather dig in the dirt for some magical this or that but it's okay anyway because she can get a guy if she wants one. And forget it, your parents are one of the few who haven't gotten divorced," she looked up at him, "I am myself though. Everything is straight forward when the date is arranged. It's all on my profile. They're the ones who agree to it, and I get there, and..." she made a fizzing noise that ended with a crash, complete with expanding her hands out to show the carnage. "Maybe I should date a priest? It's not like they can expect anything." She tipped her head back. "Doesn't it get lonely, not having anyone? and if it doesn't - what's your secret?"

"You know that friend crap is total bullshit. We can never go back to being just friends. Friends don’t kiss like that,and if they do,well, I got nothing else to say." He was spouting off lines he used to hear a long time ago. "Who you tryin’ to give this to?"

[windycxty]

She quieted. At least he was honest, and she didn't get some line like she would from one of her sisters or some bullshit teasing that she'd get from her brothers. "Y'know, I think I'd be okay with the we can just be friends thing, if I actually got a kiss out of it." She sagged against the wall. "I'm not trying to give it to anyone. I just get it a lot. Blind dates never work out."

maggie can't put a book down until she's finished it - but she gets nightmares easily - so if the book is a horror genre - then she doesn't sleep for a couple of days.

"What if I told you that freaking out in public, no matter the reason, kind of makes you a nutter?" Because it hadn’t just been her staring, others in the vicinity were as well. Any large display of neurotic motion seems to show people in a bad light. Certainly a neurotic light. When the girl adjusted her head phone she arched a brow, believing that it was to drown her out. "Really? Because if I was yours I would have given you better taste in hair styles." "Well, that does sound like a high level of douche. Thankfully there’s a large selection of buses and taxis around. Though I’d stay away from the ones ending with the number 4." She tried to play it off as mysterious and aloof, but really she just had a bad experience with the taxi driver she’d used earlier this morning. 

"Then I'd say that you haven't lived here long enough." People stared, it was what they did. Though, all she had to do was settle down, put in the oxygen tube when she needed it and suddenly she'd be invisible. "There's nothing wrong with my hair. It's braided and probably took more time to do than just running a comb through yours and prancing out."  The ghost spoke louder. No, it was definitely the 4 bus. South. "The hospital is north of here," she turned and hissed at the empty spot finally. "You are not helping. Go play spook somewhere else."   She looked back at the (live) woman. "And that - is the definition of nutter."

He watched her, the toe of his shoes rubbing at the burnt and charred line that ended right in front of him. It was what separated him from her, the twenty feet of charred rocks and burnt grass. “Left tit? Really? Got to single out just one? And why the left one? As a man I’ve always found the right one more accessible.” He’s kidding, obviously, though his dry tone still hadn’t changed from earlier. “And if you’re going to take magic advice from someone who references Dungeons and Dragons you deserve to be duped.” This coming from the guy who was alive when it was first invented. 

"Left tit - believe me. Tink's left tit is perkier." She stood up and looked at what she ruined. Clearly, intention and preparation wasn't enough. "It burnt through my staff..." she bent and picked up the ruined thing in her left hand. "Dad's going to kill me." She seemed to have forgotten that he was there until he made his wiseass comment about DnD. "Look, even the Netters said that it was a place to start in making up new spells. Focus, intention, and belief. I had all of them this time and it still didn't work - and if you don't belive me - check out the Dresden Files roleplaying game. Same concept. Just no step by step instructions and the dice rules are weird."

Don’t worry, she doesn’t take offense very easily.  "I’m not the one who was standing in the middle of the road shouting at her phone because she got left alone, now am I?" The idea of getting a dog was tempting, but she had been joking. Besides, she was more of a cat person. Unfortunately Finn was allergic to them and her one attempt at sneaking one in ended up with him getting hives and finding out rather quickly about the stray.  "Unless you’ve come to tell me that you’re my maker, don’t take offense if I don’t care." She wasn’t being rude, just pointing out facts.  "So what did you do to get stuck here?"

"Third time that my brother's ditched me somewhere without a way back. It's not me being a nutter, it's me getting pissed off," she clarified, fixing the left earbud and putting it back in her ear, trying to staunch the chatter of a well-meaning ghost who thought that she should know that bus 3R (or was it B? Or 13C) was going her way. "And if I was your maker, I would have given you a better nose."  Truthful to the bitter end, no real filter that told her not to say that. "My brother was supposed to take me to my doctor's appointment. He brought me about halfway and said that he remembered that his game came out today and he wanted to go get it - and I can walk the rest of the way, right? - even though he hates doctors', he doesn't have to be that level of doucher."

"You are seriously amazing. That was a great trick, really. You could sell tickets to see that.” Can you hear the sarcasm in his voice? To be honest it’s just his regular, straight tone of voice, but don’t be fooled - he’s being sarcastic. 

"...it wasn't a trick," she groused, sitting in the ruined circle while everything in a twenty foot radius sat charred and burning. "The intention was there this time! Tinks left tit - that was at least a level nine spell, it should have worked! This is the last time I trust the Alphas with their whole: well of course Dungeons and Dragons is based on real spell-crafting. It's like your dad's stuff, just better!"

"A few actually. Like being lactose intolerant, but my favorite drink is a chocolate milkshake. Or the fact that I can always taste a salty-irony taste in the back of my throat."  Placing her hands together in a prayer like form she didn’t even bother to make eye contact with the brunette. “Please let the new problem be a puppy.” 

  "...you sound like an absolute nutcase."  Though - as for the puppy bit.  "Yeah - though, go get one. There's a no-kill shelter down the way that actually does kill 'em. It's where one of my brothers' got his. Though, judgin' you hard if you get a puppy. Older dogs are just as good. Who am I kiddin'g, I'll judge you anyway."

"What statement?"

"We can still be friends. Like - ugh. Seriously. I'm just --"    "Also - just respond. Complete stranger take: Ready, set, you're on."

Cyborg America: inside the strange new world of basement body hackers

As the limits of space exploration become increasingly clear, a generation of scientists who might once have turned to the stars are seeking to expand humanity’s horizons much closer to home. “Jamming stuff into your body, merging machines with your nerves and brain, it’s brand new,” said Warwick. “It’s like this last, unexplored continent staring us in the face.

Watching people was supposed to be rude. Socially, at least. And it wasn’t that she didn’t know that - she’d been told multiple times by Finn and Anna.  She just didn’t care.  Besides, the other female looked frustrated.  That was the best type of person to people watch. 

Frustrated didn't begin to cover it. She swore in a mess of seven languages, as the phone rang and she refused to answer it, slipping down the bench with her arms crossed over her chest. 

She looked over and saw someone staring. "Got a problem?" she all but snarled. "Cause, I can add to 'em if you keep it up."

"Dad is going to kick your ass from here to Sunday if you leave me here - Bast! Bast you frigging little ---" 

  She hung up the phone and flung it away before she sat down heavily on the bench.
