The beginning of a collection

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty surprised. The novelty of this place hasn't worn off yet.

Although I wish it was a little easier to get books.

That's what you collect?

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

Excuse me?

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

Books I mean.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

Were you expecting something?

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

A bit more ominous from the sounds of it, yeah.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

The sound of what?

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

You mentioned something about a collection once and it's not like I would usually be stalking you creepily but I don't really want to get fined fifty bucks.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

Fined? Oh, I see.

Were you hoping for something more ominous?

[repent]

This place has novelty now?

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

You don't find it interesting?

[repent]

I find the mass market for reality tv interesting. Boringsville, Switzerland? Not so much.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

I suppose the people are really what makes this place worthwhile for me.

[repent]

Yo, I hope you mean the fictional dudes because a sadder population I have never seen. But me, I'm not really a people person. I don't play well with others, y'know?

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

Well it's not every day you find supervillains who also get Trek references, gotta keep an eye out for these things.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

Keeping an eye out for strangers who tell you exactly what you want to hear- is that how it happens where you're from, Warren?

[repent]

Me too babe, but hey, what can you do?

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

You seem like you're doing a fine job now.

[repent]

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

I can always dream. Though I do tend to be kinda proactive about my dreams.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

Well, a place like this isn't a dream. It's a reality.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

You said you didn't think you played well with others. You seem fine to me.

[repent]

That's good then, I guess. So what about you, playing nicely in our fascinating little sandbox?

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

It is fascinating. And I am. I'm not sure if it's a very good idea to push your luck in a place like this.

[repent]

What are they gonna do, send me back? Put me in prison? Been there, done that.

Still, to each his own.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

It sounds like this place gives people a clean slate. Would you really throw that kind of thing away?

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

Yes it's a very real post-apocalyptic dome world where fictional characters are pulled from their fictional universes through magical portals and expected to make babies to repopulate Switzerland and in the meantime we're supposed to find each other that one gift that says, I think you're spiffy!

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

So what does that mean you're getting me?

[repent]

I don't think some of my 'friends' here are gonna let my slate be anywhere near clean, but you have a point, Mr... Gray?

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I know exactly what you mean.

And just Gabriel is fine.

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

What does your heart most desire? I could get you a book. Or I could give it that personal touch and make you something unique. I have epic amounts of free time dude.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

That's obvious.

[repent]

I'm Faith.

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

Yeah okay I may have asked for that.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I'll make it up to you.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

Hello Faith.

[repent]

Hey there, Gabriel. We should catch up sometime. You can tell me why your slate's all chalky.

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

I can't think of an answer to that that doesn't sound really gay.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

All right. And you can tell me all about these 'friends' of yours.

[repent]

Will do, Gabriel.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

Not exactly what I was going for.

Why don't I let you know what I can do.

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

 
 
Okay.

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

Although that seems very gracious of me, for just one snide remark.

[robotsexual.livejournal.com]

Yeah but it cut to the quick.

If you're still struggling with it though might I remind you that I'm pretty flexible on the secret Santa thing?

[becomingspecial.livejournal.com]

I had no idea you were so sensitive. In that case, maybe it would be a bad idea to have you help me out.
