prepare yourself for the horror!  [  she jokes before getting up to get the family album,  ]  should we start with the embarrassing pictures first?

@familyguilt 
            oh, definitely.

@grphnature,   i  haven’t  decided  on  one  yet,   so  i’ve  just  been  calling  her  kitty.   i  don’t  think  she  minds.   

@familylost 
            oh, she’s so cute,  [ nance is practically melting at the sight. the cat is so tiny, it makes her freak out. she shakes her head, ]  nah, i think i might crush her. what’s her name? 

@grphnature,   i’ll  go  get  her,  hold.  *   shes  up  from  her  seated  position  on  the  couch  and  into  her  room.   then  walking  back  with  a  little  orange  kitten  in  her  arms.  *   wanna  hold  her?  

[  she sits down on the couch already getting herself comfortable,  brushing off the sarcastic comment,  ]  i’ve been craving pancakes.  do you have chocolate chips?

@familyguilt 
            [ nancy blinks, her brows pinching together as the uninvited jennifer makes her way into her house, ]  … okay. do you want pancakes, too? [ it was half sarcastic, walking off to the kitchen to see if she had food for the both of them. ]

diana prince has the universal appeal. 

@guiltlead 
            the list is long. like, super, super long. wonder woman is an obvious pick though. 

there she is.  [  he comments at her eagerness, grinning  ]  what else do you like? 

[  he looks up from his hands, surprised at the offer and wanting to be anywhere but home all the same.  ]  if i won’t bothering you too much.

@guiltlead 
            [ she can pick up on the obvious factor that he’s /not/ at all happy about it. despite his sarcastic laugh, ] do you wanna crash at mine for a bit? might get your mind off of things. 

[  nate laughs, pinching the bridge of his nose  ]  by him sitting in our living room.  

i can imagine. a lot less noise than power tools. [  he smiles,  ]  i need to come by then. i’ll make sure to be quiet. 

@guiltlead 
            [she laughs, shaking her head,] i’m not. i just (…) like books, and it’s a pretty neat job. it’s quiet. 

a librarian?  so you’re an intellectual,  definitely too smart to be hanging out with me. 

you would do that for me? 

@guiltlead 
            i can suggest it to her, then?

i’m not sure if she’s into that.  [  nate shrugs,  ] or maybe anything i suggest makes it naturally / uncool / . 

no,  go ahead.  there’s worst things to be called. 

@guiltlead 
            i can take it back if you want me to.

cowboy?  that’s a new one. 

the restaurant’s got a cellar.  don’t risk it trying to out drive it in your car.  i did just fix it after all. 

@guiltlead 
            we don’t really have much of a choice.

i don’t know if we call being a diner employee an ‘ assistant ‘.  that sounds .. fancy. 

@guiltlead 
            [a raise of her brow, her head tilting,] so you’re an assistant? 

mm.. really exciting stuff.  flip burgers.  bus tables.
