Good, ha. Wouldn't do to ask someone out and then scare them off by sounding like a stalker.

Oh, sure, take your time. Whenever's good for you works for me, it's not like I do much around here.

I don't get out much. I think being here has been the most social interaction outside of work I've had in literal years, and social interaction with the FBI completely doesn't count.

[He is just going to delicately ignore that she's called him handsome like a million times. What do, pretty girl hitting on me.]

[shesgotguts]

ive had worse, so dont worry. you're in the clear!

if you dont have much to do here, then ill do my best to be done in twenty minutes so you can actually do something! actually, make that thirty, as i still need to make sure my daughter is okay.

whats the fbi? is it like the leu? [just to make sure all law enforcement agencies have acronyms...]

[leadingspirit]

Suddenly I'm not so sure that's reassuring. [He hopes she can read the joke in that.]

Sure thing, take your time. [Gives him a minute to flee to his own daughter in startled alarm of "what do I do".]

Ah, Federal Bureau of Investigation. National security, Department of Justice. Overblown government nonsense that makes me sound a lot fancier than I am.

[shesgotguts]

you just make sure that youre better than some of the dates ive had, alright? [which, considering a number of them... he really just has to show up and he's succeeded.]

national security? thats kind of a big deal. no matter what country it is, thats hard work! i dont think its fancy, but its definitely important.

[leadingspirit]

So now you're encouraging me to be a stalker and find out that information? In half an hour, no less. High standards, miss Milly.

I've always been good at figuring things out, and Interpol liked that. It's not the greatest thing in the world but it kept me busy. [This isn't even going into the fact that he's also the Captain of a 25.000 man special army specifically mobilized to assist a bunch of cyborgs saving the world, but he figures that's not really First Date Conversation.]

[shesgotguts]

im encouraging you to prove your resourcefulness. im sure, if you cant find the information, that youll do your best to be a wonderful date. i cant lose!

really? so youve got a detectives mind. i like that. i didnt think youd be the type to like a good mystery though. [mostly because his core traits to her were "cute and confused".]

[leadingspirit]

Well I'll try not to disappoint you too badly, then.

Something like. And I dunno, mysteries are all right. I read a lot of crime mysteries when I was a kid.

[shesgotguts]

dont stand me up, and youre off to a good start.

thats a cute image. a budding detective! i bet the mysteries in those would be a piece of cake for you to solve now, huh? with your cleverness and all...

[leadingspirit]

You mean to tell me you've been stood up before?

I don't mean to toot my own horn, but yeah, probably.

[shesgotguts]

do you really think i havent?

do they put you on the hardest cases, then? youre the guy they call when no one else can figure it out, arent you?

[leadingspirit]

Surprises me, given most guys would probably leap at a chance to date you?

Well, they put me on something real important once, and then thought I was crazy for my reports so they lost a lot of the high opinion they held for me. It's a long story.

[shesgotguts]

youd think. but boys are forgetful and distractable. boys also lose interest once they have what they came for.

if youd proven yourself before, why wouldnt they believe what youd given them? long story or not, id like to hear it someday.

[leadingspirit]

Don't I know it. Boys are dumb, honestly.

It's. I'll try to give you the Cliff Notes sometime, it's a long confusing story that involves a lot of explanation about a lot of crazy shit. Where I'm from isn't the safest or happiest place to be right now.

[shesgotguts]

you can say that again. men dont always fare much better, though.

no? i guess some of us arent so lucky. ive heard a lot of crazy originworld stories, mine included. its unfortunate some of us dont come from peaceful places...

[leadingspirit]

Of course not. Men are just bigger boys. Bigger doesn't always mean smarter, much less more mature.

No kidding. Peaceful isn't something you could justifiably use to describe where I'm from or where I've worked in the past ten years, if not more.

[shesgotguts]

i still hope, though. to meet a nice man who doesnt forget about me. and maybe hell be smart and mature and romantic. or maybe i could give up on that and find a smart, mature, romantic lady.

...thats a long time to be without peace. im sorry your world wasnt so gentle. at least being here offers us that, right?

[leadingspirit]

Hey, equal options produce equal opportunity. If a guy doesn't do it for you a lady might just.

I've gotten used to it. If anything, the calm here is almost unnerving.

[shesgotguts]

id miss the feeling of a mans hands on me, though. not like a womans hands arent wonderful! and they feel so good... but its not the same. :(

...it is. peaceful stops being safe and becomes boring after a while. i dont want to go back to my originworld but at least it kept me on my toes. for now, though... peace is. okay.

[leadingspirit]

For lack of experience in one half of this equation I'm gonna have to take your word for that.

Yeah. I mean it's by no means a bad thing, I'm not gonna go all crazy super villain and say war and chaos is the only way to be, that's for damn sure.

[shesgotguts]

dont worry if youve never experienced a womans hands, i have two. im sure youll at least get to hold them! ;)

its not a bad thing... and i agree. chaos isnt the only way to be. but ripples in a pond mean something is there, good or bad. do you understand what i mean?

[leadingspirit]

I should be offended but really, I walked right into that one.

Completely. Ripples are cause and effect, and without cause there is no effect. A completely glassy pond is just kind of boring, and means nobody's out fishing or dragging friends around on innertubes.

[shesgotguts]

you absolutely did. but that just means im a fair target now! show me that sparkling wit of yours.

that is the cutest way of putting it. friends in innertubes. and i can see it too! thats the kind of pond i want to be in. where kids get flipped out of innertubes and people catch turtles on accident.

speaking of turtles, though... im all set to go, so heres to hoping you dont transform into a tortoise on the way here! dont keep me waiting, okay? ;)

[leadingspirit]

Hate to break it to you, but no sparkling wit on the first date. I like to play dumb until the point I know someone isn't just trying to outsmart me. Call it national security, if you will. ;)

Are you a kid flipping or a kid being flipped?

Yeah yeah, I'm almost there. Texting one-handed is surprisingly hard.

[shesgotguts]

then i guess ill have to be witty and charming instead. what a shame! though i doubt youre playing dumb. youre just going to let me do all the work and still have your fun. smart move.

mhmm. which do you think i am?

one-handed, huh? if i didnt trust your word, id wonder if you were up to something else~

[leadingspirit]

Sometimes I can be clever.

I'd wager flipping, but if you're in a tube I'm flipping you. Just sayin'.

You dirty bird, I am not jacking off while texting you under the ruse of coming over to take you out for coffee. I mean I won't say it hasn't happened before, but.

[There's a pause.]

...fuck I did not just admit that.
