even if imaginary george had an imaginary lucille?

<silverfeather>

[familyproblem]

[stares at this for a second?



oh wait this is like. a joke. right?]

If that's a reference, I'm missing it, sorry.

You know how people can be around here. [he doesn't even agree with all of max's vocal, chronic online behavior but like, he's seen it, so she has to know] A little privacy goes a long way.

[zoomingupthathill]

[ Aww... Max sighs, alright he's not biting. ]

i was just messing around dont worry about it

i guess i get it but still
id be the only one looking at it right?

<silverfeather>

[familyproblem]

No problem.

[...he hopes that means she caught the attempted compliment.

The whole point was to be cool about it so he can't just ask outright...]

Ideally. [hm...] Out of my hands now. If you wanted to impress your friends with a handwritten note from Imaginary George, that's none of my business. I'd keep quiet.

[zoomingupthathill]

[ Hmm, but now he's playing around too... Clearly Max has no idea how Gladion works, but it doesn't bug her. She sort of likes figuring it out. ]

oh hell no that guys probably a loser
and i dont show off private stuff
only thing i would is the multitool

thanks
i like it

[familyproblem]

[AHA so this WAS a thank-you message and not an I-need-to-file-a-complaint message! Excellent. He's winning at gift-giving, which is something you can win at.]

Good to hear. Wasn't sure how useful it would be if you stuck to city life, but I don't think it can hurt to have on hand.

[zoomingupthathill]

[ YEAH OF COURSE IT WAS A THANK YOU MESSAGE wow max did it really take you this long to get to that, seriously, sincerely, why, ]

oh no city life blows
not that im a country girl by a long shot but im not leaning into the hustle and bustle either
too crowded

[familyproblem]

[.........right, suburbs exist. Theoretically.]

Planning on moving out?

[zoomingupthathill]

already did
theres a huge ass mansion near the lake and a guy i know lives there
i think hes dating the guy who owns it
either that or theyre just really weird
its close enough that i can get into the city but just far enough that i can get some fucking space

[familyproblem]

[...Huh. Right, she did say something about living with a guy who "owns half the city" or something.

Hmm. A monster guy, perhaps? How does that happen?]

Nice. My household is looking at moving out of 38-8, but we haven't found anything yet. I think we're a little more inclined to live somewhere off the beaten path [at least Ingo certainly is but that's what he's weighting highest] but the commute into town is sort of a concern.

[...Is this a "monster topics okay" kind of conversation...]

Might have to wait to see where my changes are going, see how hard getting on and off the bus will be.

[Eergh.

Man why did he type any of that.]

[zoomingupthathill]

those crazy apartments? yikes yeah get out

[ Also because his crazy mom knows where he lives. But that goes unspoken.

And now...the monster thing. Max's arms feel cold— or, well, colder. But she's not about to say that. Not when she'd spilled her guts about all the shit bothering her before. Not when she dumped all that on him. ]

are the people you live with done
like do they know what they are and can they drive?
maybe you could get a car

[familyproblem]

[Huh. Wonder what she knows about this place that he doesn't.]

The one who's (mostly?) done can't. They're both going to have wings, though.

[...]

I should probably learn. If I get to have normal feet.

[zoomingupthathill]

[ Hm. Wings might make that difficult... She doesn't know. She's never had them, doesn't know how hard they are to maneuver. ]

yeah go for it
i know how its not too hard

[ Somewhere, Steve Harrington must feel a wave of terror. ]

[familyproblem]

[ ! ]

[...considers this for a moment]

How fond are you of teaching?

[zoomingupthathill]

[ c: ]

ive never done it before but i could give it a shot
as a thank you for the new years present

[familyproblem]

[HMMMMM.]

I might take you up on that when the time is right. Keep an ear out?

[zoomingupthathill]

you know how to reach me
