But Still We Fall Down ((open))

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 7:54 pm

"Oh like a restaurant or something? I don't know... people pretty much stare all the time..."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 7:55 pm

"I mean if you're gonna fly me somewhere I should at least buy you dinner."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:04 pm

"Right, yeah, okay." she nods maybe a bit too rapidly. "I'll figure out a good place."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:05 pm

"I can find one. You have a kind of food you like, or just 'lots' because of the calorie burning?"

She starts tapping on her phone.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:14 pm

"I like curry."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:17 pm

"Spicy it is, then. How's Maldon Tandoori grab you?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:23 pm

"Yeah, that's good. I'll make sure there's a good place to land that's not, like, dive-bombing the sidewalk kinda splashy."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:24 pm

"Sounds good. So, a nice flight, Indian food, then off to Makeout Point," she deadpans.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:37 pm

Nailah blankly stares at Janice for a moment, then laughs awkwardly. "Ha ha ha hah, right, good plan, yeah, it's a date. Literally. That's a thing people do. On dates. Yeah?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:37 pm

"...I'm kidding. There's no Makeout Point in Maldon."

"Or if there is, nobody will tell me where it is."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:48 pm

"Right, of course. Plus we're not taking a car anyway."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 8:49 pm

"Oh, are we that shy about pashing?" She teases.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 9:03 pm

"What? No, I'm totally cool about... that. Which I totally know what it means."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 9:05 pm

"You know, snogging. Necking."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 9:11 pm

"I totally knew that."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 9:13 pm

"Okay, then what's snogging?" She asks with a cheshire grin.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 9:16 pm

"You know... making out. And stuff."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 9:18 pm

"Okay, okay, making sure we hadn't wholly lost the plot here," she says, leaning towards Nailah and reaching an arm around.

"I'm not trying to make fun of you here," she murmurs in Nailah's ear. "You just get... really cute when you react."

She tries to punctuate that with a peck on Nailah's cheek.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 11:41 pm

Nailah flinches and while she manages to contain it for the most part, her tail operates on bit more of an instinctual level and lashes up and into Janice's face.

"Oh gosh! I-I'm so sorry!" she stammers with a very pronounced blush.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Tue Nov 05, 2019 11:45 pm

"Guess I deserved that," Janice laughs, spitting out a few hairs.

"Seriously though, do you have issues with stuff like this? I don't wanna cross a line or anything."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 1:30 am

"No, no, it's not like that. I just... don't really... you know... have much experience with that kinda stuff."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 2:19 am

"Well don't feel like you have anything to prove. If you're not into it, you're not into it."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 4:05 am

That's gotta be some kind of record for blowing it before a first date.

"How... about I'll just pick you up on Friday at... seven? Ish?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 2:12 pm

"Okay, that sounds good."

"But can I make one suggestion?"

"Whatever we do, don't... peek."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 4:05 pm

"But then what if I do something wrong?"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 4:08 pm

"If you spend the whole night doing that, you won't have any fun."

"And I do want to show you a good time, yeah?"

"Besides, didn't we figure out that peeking when you're around me is a lousy idea?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 4:13 pm

Nailah opens her mouth to say something, then closes it into a pout.

"We did. Okay, fine. No peeking."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 4:14 pm

"If you're worried about surprises, I can give you a heads-up before I do something..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 4:19 pm

"It's not that. I like surprises. It's hard to explain."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 4:21 pm

"I get a feeling you like a very different kind of surprise, you know?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 4:35 pm

"No, I don't. Know, that is." she admits.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 5:24 pm

"Well I mean, the whole crime-fighting thing."

"I'd flirt with you by becoming a sexy jewel thief, but I don't know if I could pull off the look."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 5:41 pm

Nailah blinks at Janice as if something in her head just clicked into place and then she laughs.

"Oh jeez... You'd be an absolute nightmare!"

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 5:46 pm

"Isn't that the point?"

"I lead you on a merry chase, get your heart rate going, you finally corner me, and one thing leads to another?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 5:49 pm

"I mean... that's not... uhm... you shouldn't do a crime..." If she blushed at the kiss on the cheek she's straight up crimson now.

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 5:50 pm

"I'm pretty sure that's the whole reason Catwoman got into the business."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 5:52 pm

"Still though, no heists! Unless it's to save a friend from getting pulped into money and you're not keeping it, so it's alright..."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 5:53 pm

"That seems... incredibly specific."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 5:59 pm

"Someone tried to get rid of Will in an incredibly specific manner. A train was involved."

by **Janice Gilbertson** » Wed Nov 06, 2019 6:00 pm

"Oh, well the train sold me on it. You're in the clear."
