Since everyone around here loses their minds for balls apparently

Which Disney princess would you "cuddle"?

Sure you do, Derek Hale, 27.
Its just got an even dumber name.

[duelo]

If Facebook was this easy to set up and simple to use, I probably would have an actual one, Jessica Jones, 35.

[underachievement]

Its even easier if you just make all your crap up. [ god she almost misses it. ]

[duelo]

I never really understood the appeal of social media. I sort of still don't, but I'm at least trying to figure it out whereas back home, I couldn't be bothered. Did you, back home? Use social media?

[underachievement]

For work. Wastebaskets and Facebook are PI bread and butter.

[duelo]

Private Investigator, that's interesting. Is it as cool as it looks in the movies?

[ A little voice in the back of his head by reflex is telling him to abort mission, but he's willing himself to ignore it because he's trying to be more open about who he is as a person — and creature — with people in this place since it's supposed to be safer and about making genuine connections with others. ]

The last detective movie I watched was seven
But yeah [ she's so BORED. HERE. ]

[duelo]

You must be bored a shit in this place, then, huh?

[ He's embracing the break from having to fight for his life, but someone who is a Private Investigator must be going apeshit with the complete and total lack of conflict he's been observing. People in that line of work can't just turn it on and off when they're on the clock, after all. If Sheriff Stilinski couldn't, he really doubts someone who gets paid even better to really dig their heels into the down and dirty part of it all could, either. ]

That's the cost of free love: No more dirty dick to pay the bills.

I'm sure there's other ways to occupy your time, though, right? Doesn't seem to be any big bads around here for me to fight, so I've found other stuff to do.

[underachievement]

Your story sounds better than mine.

[duelo]

You probably wouldn't believe most of it if I told you, Jessica. Most normal people wouldn't, anyway.

[underachievement]

Try me.

[duelo]

Do you believe in mythological creatures? Things that go bump in the night? Banshees, werewolves; stuff like that?

[underachievement]

[ oh jesus christ. still it's more bearable than talking about her crap ]

I believe monsters are real. They look like people most of the time.

[duelo]

Something tells me you're not that normal if you mean literal monsters and not the term monster meaning terrible piece of human garbage.

But you're right. We're real and we look like humans most of the time. And just like humans there are good ones and bad ones. I fight the bad ones. That's the short story, anyway.

[ a little column a, a little column b ]

Assuming I buy it, are you gonna make me skulk around at night to find out which bump you are?

[duelo]

I'm a werewolf. I'll make it easy because lately, I've been trying to be more open about it since it's a lot less dangerous for me to be myself in this place than it was back home.
