Hey Slick, what're you doing for Halloween? Did you need a partner in crime?

I'm really good at sexy 'fillintheblank'.

Will respond when I can, still using the public terminals for this sort of a thing as I don't have a device yet.

PS: This library kid is driving me fucking bonkers yo.

I honestly didn't have any plans. I assume there'll be some parties but I didn't think Halloween was really celebrated in Europe. I think thebig thing here is Guy Fawkes day. My grandparents used to celebrate it back home. Ronnie loved it because there were fireworks anda burning dummy.

I'm up for whtaever. Are we doing group costumes? Like the Ghostbusters? I can only dress up like the first two, not the remake.

Reply when you can, or we can talk about it ovre lunch or something. We've got loads of time to prep

wait hold up your last name is Thursday?

We'll just talk about it over the next meal we see each other at.

Not really. I mean, I wasn't born into the illustrious family of Thursday, nor am I a child of Asgard.

Rather, I needed something for an ID and I decided that in these tough times when you have to make hard decisions, Bowie isn't always the right answer, But it's never the wrong answer either.

And Eartha makes a fair point as well.

It reminds me of Wednesday Addams. And it's better than Doe, so it's all good.

What, I'm not an adorable forest creature?

The library kid would beg to differ by the way he keeps staring at me. He thinks we don't know precious. He thinks we don't know because he has no eyeses.

Oh but we know. We know his secretseseses.

es.

Is library kid a big book or what I've only had to go in there to print off reports when my teaachers won't let me just email them in.

Library kid is the kid who works in the library. He is invisible. And he stares. A lot. He thinks I can't tell, but what he doesn't know is I have a lot of experience working with mutants with unusual appearances. I know how to interpret what body language means when mutants don't have a very expressive face, or in some instances, no face at all.

He is currently hunched over a book but his shirt collar is giving away the fact he isn't looking down, but in my direction. Since he thinks I can't see him he makes no attempt to try to hide the fact he is staring.

Every time I come here he watches me and tries to make awkward conversation that is probably the British form of flirtation. I don't like to crush people with rejection though so I guess I'll just have to continue on like this until I get a tablet or lose my shit and punch him, whichever thing comes first.

Tell him you can see in the infrared spectrum or something. Like in the Predator.

Hell no. Then he'll think I LET him stare at me. That'll just encourage him. Fuck that.
