[PartyGirlLee] *taptaps on the screen* Dude, you've eaten in the last hour or so, right? Cause otherwise I'm sending someone down there with poptarts or something.

[thecatsmeow] Jubes? I can't eat every hour on the hour. I don't eat that much when I'm -not- coding. But yeah, I had food. Real food, even, and not just poptarts. What's up?

[PartyGirlLee] *grins* Maybe it's just me that gets ansty when I don't have something to munch on in that long. Just got back from my date and I felt like checking in...okay, mostly felt like squeeling and gossiping but also with the checking in to make sure you didn't need anything.

[thecatsmeow] Random snacking in the server room, not a good idea and date? Did I know about date? What is this date you speak of?

[PartyGirlLee] Ahh, yes. Food in server room bad. I had wondered why Forge and Doug give me pained looks when I talk about eating corndogs while checking my e-mail on the laptop. You'd think food was bad for computers or something. They need to eat too, don't they? *innocent look* As for date, probably not as I don't think I've been mentioning them to people. I kinda wanted to make sure he wasn't A. A demon prince from hell or B. Really lame before I got all open about him. But! Third date and he hasn't grown horns and a tail, so I'm figurin' I'm safe.

[thecatsmeow] -busy coding now not a good time-
[thecatsmeow] sorry, auto response got switched on
[thecatsmeow] not a demon, always good. 'Yana tends not to take well to demons. And he's not a bigot?

[PartyGirlLee] S'okay, just tell me to shush if you've got to go, Haroun is so more important then my squeeing. And yeah, I had pondered having 'Yana give him the once over to make absolutely sure but then I thought maybe I was being a touch paranoid. And nope, not a bigot at all. Told him pretty soon after we met I was a mutant, and he was all interested in what I could do and stuff. Although, he did say that he wasn't sure why him asking me for my number was my queue for tellin' him I'm a mutant. (What can I say, I panicked. Cute as all hell guy asks me for my number, I was all 'Gah! What if he's one of those FOH freaks, would so totally be just my luck.')

[thecatsmeow] nah, you're chatty enough to cover my distraction w/ the coding. (-grin-)

[thecatsmeow] and yeah, it would have totally sucked, but I think suspecting he might be a demon was pro'lly on the paranoid side
[thecatsmeow] not that, with our history and all, paranoia is entirely out of line and all...

[PartyGirlLee] S'yeah. That first date, I was seriously listing everything I thought could possibly go wrong, up to and including attack from the Hellfire club. (I swear, all that X-men reading has made me utterly strange about probability.) Did I mention he took me to see Sky High? Is it weird to get all girly about a guy holding doors open for you? Cause I am seriously all for the girl power but hee!

[thecatsmeow] not at all weird. Guys who hold doors are much with the hot. Girl power yeah, and all, but gallantry, not to be sneezed at.

[PartyGirlLee] He was utterly sweet, ya know? But not in a whimpy kinda way. Found out he goes to the local college too. Some kind of business degree.

[thecatsmeow] What, to Westchester? Wonder if I ever saw him around campus, or Paige or Doug and M-A might've. Not that any of us do business, but you never know what random classes people take.
[thecatsmeow] Oh, hold on, gotta...

-five minutes-

[thecatsmeow] Back, sorry 'bout that.

[PartyGirlLee] S'cool, what was up?

[thecatsmeow] Was just getting the latest results. We've got the AI mostly finished.

[PartyGirlLee] Dude! That's fantastic news. Have I mentioned lately that you're all frickin' awesome?

[thecatsmeow] Pro'lly not lately, but we've been getting that a lot, in between feedings. It'd go to my head or something, but I'm too busy.

[thecatsmeow] Hell, the thing with Betsy knocked Forge and I both out, and that wasn't good, but Doug and Paige didn't even notice. So I figure, me? Dispensible.

[PartyGirlLee] So not dispensible! Heck, I got knocked out too. Right after a Dangerroom session. Woke up with the _worst_ backache ever. Tiled floors are not the best sleeping surfaces. You see anything weird while you were out?

[thecatsmeow] Yeah. Didn't know what was going on at the time, cause Betsy at, like six? Blonde. Who knew? But there was something or other with her dad. You?

[PartyGirlLee] I was at Betsy's parent's funeral. Least, I think that's who it was. Her and her brother were there. And some weird woman, been seriously trying to remember her name for the last day or so. She was _creepy_ with a capital creep if you know what I mean.

[thecatsmeow] Ouch, that's harsh. And creepy how? I think her dad was trying, well, know, her dad -was- hiding something, and I think it was something to do with her and maybe her brother or something. But I don't really know.

[PartyGirlLee] She was cold. You know that cliche of 'Ice Queen bitch'? Well, she was the cliche. Blonde, and cold as all hell, almost like I could _feel_ it. And she seriously didn't want Betsy lookin' in her parent's coffins. Something about how the dead should stay buried and how they'd been through an ordeal. Courtney! That was totally her name.

[thecatsmeow] Huh. Courtney, Ms. Courtney, or Courtney somethign? If you've got a name and a discription, finding can be done.

[thecatsmeow] Well, when there is time.

[thecatsmeow] Or, you know, by Ms. Bradock and/or proper digging-into-stuff authorities.

[PartyGirlLee] Was going to talk to Betsy about it when she's gotten over the whole 'passing out' thing. And...I think Courtney was her first name. Courtney Ross...She said that Betsy's parents and she worked in a lab together. I wonder what that was about.

[thecatsmeow] Well, that's actually getting a double huh out of me. Cause the place where her dad was hiding something was a lab. A really nice one. Very shiny. Many excellent toys and so not the point, right, um...

[thecatsmeow] Not sure I really have the brain power to devote to this now, but you've got me curious.

[PartyGirlLee] When you're all finished with the Haroun stuff, maybe we two can talk to Betsy. Heck, there were other people knocked out, right? Maybe we can talk to them too, build up some kind of coherent story to give her about what we all saw.

[thecatsmeow] Well, I talked to the Prof, did you? Betcha he's got some idea to talk to her about, too, but yeah, would be for helping her if she wants.

[PartyGirlLee] Haven't managed it yet. When I went down he must have been out of the office for a bit. Figuring I'll go see him tomorrow afternoon sometime. He's usually in his office around then, if only for the cup of tea. (You know, for someone who isn't English, Chuck sure drinks a lot of tea. Think he's really British in disguise?)

[thecatsmeow] yeah, that'd work, and if all else fails, schedule an apt. with him. works like a charm. (heh, could be.)

[PartyGirlLee] What is this scheduling thing you speak of? Me, being organised...never. *grins* If I don't find him in the afternoon, I'll leave a note for him about making a time/location to talk. Not that the dream thing bothered me much, seems like I do that with people regularly around this place sometimes. But...it was weird, and I don't know _why_ we got a look at Betsy's past. (Why is it that I feel the need to insist nothing is random? Cause, seriously, so getting old! I'm 19 in December, that's totally ancient.)

[thecatsmeow] I've no clue either. I mean, she's sick or something, so who knows. Finding her and Dr. B and Remy passed out the other day? So not a highlight of my day. (Well, you know the truth is out there or something. Also, I've just hit seventeen this summer, so I've no idea. :p)

[PartyGirlLee] *makes wise looking Yoda look* Ahh, young padawan, you too shall one day know the true power of the Dar...wait, wrong movie. What was I saying? Oh! I seriously have to talk to Remy and Mads as well. I mean, I know they're okay and all but there's that whole 'Need to see that they're okay.' Only Mads is seriously busy with the Medlab stuff, so maybe I'll just have to comfort myself with bugging the hell out of Remy while I wait.

[thecatsmeow] Yeah, not hassling the docs is way up there on the list. And not just them, either. :p

[PartyGirlLee] *cute googly eyed look* Well, I wasn't really gonna bug him. Just stop by and make sure he was doin' okay. And I would've brought soup. Good nutricious soup, although not as good as Lorna soup, alas.

[thecatsmeow] -snicker- Soup always good.
[thecatsmeow] blast. Jubes, I need to concentrate for a bit
[thecatsmeow] 's been good talking to you, but I'll catch you later?

[PartyGirlLee] Of course. :) Talk to you later!
[thecatsmeow] -snugs-
-thecatsmeow went away-
