Siren's Pull Contact

[classdismissed]

Unless you're telling me how to get out of here, don't bother. Unless I told you to call me.

... Which I won't, so yeah. A way out or fuck off.

[she spends like... ten minutes wondering how to phrase this. OH GOD IT'S SO AWKWARD HOW DO YOU BROACH THIS SUBJECT... well, at least she already knows the why behind it, thanks to Sherlock...]

it was mistletoe.

[Bwuh? A message for him? Griffin wasn't aware anyone really knew him well enough to--

... Wait. This could be one of two people.]

Who is this?

[slingshots]

[oh god what name is she even supposed to use with him... THIS IS TERRIBLE SHE HATES THIS.]

Robin.

No. Okay, read this. No. No mistletoe, no anything. Didn't we have the boundaries talk?

[hosenlgks okay she can't keep the ~EXTENT OF HER EMOTIONS~ contained in text. and thankfully this time the extent of them isn't all lovey.]

Listen, spud. It was mistletoe, it wasn't me. Made people go billy all day.

[limitedrun.livejournal.com]

You still haven't defined spud or billy.

And that-- [EUREKA. Suddenly the events of that day make so much more sense. But he still sound healthily skeptical.] -- How does that even work?

[slingshots]

You got a city of metahuman powers and you're wondering how magic mistletoe works?

[limitedrun.livejournal.com]

[Considering he's kind of USED to people with metahuman powers...]

It's a plant.

[This may or may not be payback, at least partially.]

[slingshots]

[huff >C]

Not important. We gotta talk, spud.

[limitedrun.livejournal.com]

If we're getting possessed to act like idiots by holiday greenery, that's probably a bit pressing.

Seriously, I'm not a potato.

[slingshots]

[fsnkgsgs SO FRUSTRATED. in fact, so frustrated that she's going to disconnect for a few minutes here for some quick stalking.]

[slingshots]

[AND WE'RE BACK. There's been some network stalking (she didn't find much, damn >\) and some careful mental replay of their conversation, and she's got a tentative hold on a strategy.]

So, that ability you got. Seems pretty useful.

[limitedrun.livejournal.com]

[That's how you're gonna play it? Little girl, Griffin has been dodging people interested in his ability since before you could walk, let alone stalk.]

Eh, it serves a purpose. It's not nearly as interesting as your hobby.

[slingshots]

[WILL NOT BE DISTRACTED FROM THIS.]

And there's a lot of that around it, too. Subject changes.

[limitedrun.livejournal.com]

Is that right, Carrie?

[slingshots]

[gpesjgnsg. >|! okay time to just out with it AND HOPE HER THEORY THAT HE'S PARANOID ABOUT HIS POWER IS RIGHT...]

Bottom line-- I'll keep ziplip on it if you keep that to yourself.

[limitedrun.livejournal.com]

Are you seriously trying to blackmail me right now? [Oh no you did not, you little trollop. Paranoid, yes he is. But he also won't take bullying from a preteen girl lying down. ]

You're talking about me having an ability in a town of people full of abilities? Which one do you think is gonna be more damaging, if you let my identity out of if I let out yours?

[slingshots]

[OH WAY TO DASH HER HOPES AND DREAMS, GRIFFIN. WAY TO DASH THEM. So there's a pause here, almost uncomfortably long, until she lets out a quiet sigh.]

...So what's it gonna take.

[limitedrun.livejournal.com]

["A million dollars." "Slavery for a day." "Find me a new Lair, and a nice one." These are all things Griffin is tempted to say at first. But damn if he can't find something familiar in her lifestyle, even though she chose her path and he didn't.]

You're an idiot. Just so you know.

I wasn't going to say anything. I had absolutely no reason to say anything until you shot your mouth off.

[slingshots]

[w...ait what. that's not a demand. dare she hope...?]

So... now that I did?

[limitedrun.livejournal.com]

Now that you did, you're an even bigger idiot.

Seriously, someone has leverage on you, you don't try to go out of your way to piss them off. No wonder people want to kill you.

[slingshots]

But -- [No, Carrie, that was the first lesson. Don't piss this guy off. It's pretty good advice. So she'll just swallow the anger and try again.]

...You don't want anything, then?

[limitedrun.livejournal.com]

... Two things. One, keep your mouth shut.

Two, quit stalking me.

[slingshots]

I'm not stalking you. [...that much. yet.]

[limitedrun.livejournal.com]

... From the other day, with-- Nevermind. Just stop being stupid in my general direction.
