He said you hadn't said anything about me going to him, but we've arranged things and now I need something to wear on the 14th. Since you failed in your arranging duties (and yes, I'm shamelessly guilting you), care to help me out with that?

I had noticed. Mainly because that's what I do, notice things. There's a whole bunch of physiological and psychological explanations for it, but I'll settle for appearing on your doorstep (you are in your room, yes?) with the tub of vanilla ice cream I got while I was in town tonight. And then you can vent about Haroun being away, and about the team stuff and taunt me with this whole special dance thing (a costumer? What exactly have I let myself in for?) and I'll even let you pelt me with pixie sticks again if it helps. And I can tell you about plans for your therapy, and how good your last lot of test results were and how Scott actually let himself enjoy something tonight (he's been horribly wound up, with Betsy acting oddly, which could explain his supreme tactlessness with the team stuff) and how I made him snort Coke by telling him about how I made Haroun listen to bagpipe music the last time he was in the filtering machine.
Maddie.
PS: Oh well, it was worth a try. Find something to put on the DVD - I'll be there in a minute.
Subject: Okay...
From: [gratefulwench]
Okay. And I know about Betsy. And it's good he had a good time and I really want to throw things at Remy even if it's not really his fault only it is and I'll stop rambling now and you made Haroun listen to bagpipe music? I want to hear about that.

PS: Movies. Have tons. Ice cream is good, did I say that?
Subject: My turn for smug. ;)

We can both throw things at Remy when they get back. I was thinking of Moira's koosh balls to start with, since it's impossible to maintain the dark and brooding tragic pose when people are flinging koosh at your head. We could work our way up from there to say, anvils or something. Get Lorna to help.
I did. It was fun. There are amusing voices to go with the story, so I'll tell you when I get there. Ah-hah! Shoe! Knew you were hiding somewhere! All set now.
Maddie.
PS: Ice cream is always good. And I went for the classic vanilla since I figured you'd need soothing rather than sensory overload. Although I have sprinkles should you feel the need for rainbow-coloured sugar goodness. ;)
Subject: Smugity smug smug...

I was going to start with anvils or the like right from the start, but I like the koosh ball idea. A lot. Could we work out way to say, mountains? I bet you Cain could drop one of him if he tried.
I want to hear the amusing voices and would you make little stick drawings too? Socks are good to walk across the mansion in too, y'know. Just saying.

PS: Ice cream is. Cold too, but not as cold as it would have been a week ago or two. No brain freeze. (No lack of brain jokes.) Simple vanilla, actually, sounds amazing right now.
