Well, that's that.

Guess my future's riding on a letter in the mail now.

[ Dryly, over the light tapping of a pencil: ]

If I pass, I'll go to college. If I fail, I guess I'll have to reconsider being a supervillain to pay the bills.

It pays well.

[ Wryly: ] Guess you have to pay for the giant labs somehow.

[ With just the faintest hint of amusement: ] They don't build themselves.

How are the holidays treating you?

Alright, I guess. [ A beat. ] I've never had to shop for this many people before though. Kinda sucks. [ But only kinda. ]

Crime doesn't pay.

Heroing does when the merchandising deals start coming in.

[voice] iknowyourfear December 21 2010, 16:49:55 UTC

Yeah, well, heroing doesn't agree with me.

[voice] rock_it_punch December 21 2010, 16:51:54 UTC

And hurting people for money does?

[voice] iknowyourfear December 21 2010, 17:01:22 UTC

Depends on the people.

[ voice; ] bedeviledspider December 21 2010, 16:55:55 UTC

Heroing only pays if you keep people from snatching up your likeness.

Whatever you do, don't become a lawyer, the pay's awful.

Seriously... good luck, man.

[ voice; ] iknowyourfear December 21 2010, 17:02:20 UTC

Pretty sure I'd make the world's worst lawyer.

[ voice; FORWARD DATED TO SOMETIME AFTER THE PARTY BECAUSE I'M STUPID ] bedeviledspider December 21 2010, 17:26:22 UTC

Yeah, that makes two of us.

Just thought I'd offer what little career advice I can, oh potential scholar.

[ voice; YOU ARE NOT STUPID JUST TOO AWESOME FOR TIMELINES ] iknowyourfear December 22 2010, 00:45:32 UTC

Not to be anymore of a hater than I usually am, but law school makes me question your sanity. Were you bored?

[OH. Forward-dated as well! Because we can do that! :D] purmoncul December 21 2010, 17:22:23 UTC

Heyyy so that's where you've been. Hullo. Was it horrible? Did they make you recite passages? Was there an obstacle course? Did you have to display your mastery of equations both formulaic and quadratic? Was it all theory or did you have a practical portion?

[Sirius sounds just a bit shaky, the only outward sign that he's spent a fairly awful couple of days starving in a freezing hotel with half the city.]

iknowyourfear December 22 2010, 00:38:39 UTC

No. I just sat in a quiet room for a few hours filling in bubbles.

[ A pause, then perhaps with slight suspicion: ]

Are you okay?

purmoncul December 22 2010, 01:54:16 UTC

...What with?

[It says a lot about Sirius's life that he envisions Terry sitting in a room with a bunch of soap bubbles and a pipette filled with...pudding or something.]

I'm alright. Though this is the first time in my life that I've wanted to spend Christmas on a beach. In a hammock. Under some palm trees.

iknowyourfear December 22 2010, 03:43:09 UTC

With a No. 2 pencil.

Wait, what happened?

permavoice. spadassin December 21 2010, 18:14:55 UTC

Good luck.

iknowyourfear December 22 2010, 00:44:29 UTC

Thanks.

You know, you're the only person that ever says normal stuff like that to me.

spadassin December 22 2010, 02:21:28 UTC

That is strangely ironic.

iknowyourfear December 22 2010, 03:42:32 UTC

Probably 'cause you don't think I'm as weird as everyone else does.
