Geeky pick-up lines, and Boy Hostage no more!
4:58:47 PM Bernard: Nnnnerrrrrg.
4:59:01 PM Shana: Bad day?
4:59:18 PM Bernard: Yes. *pouts*
5:01:20 PM Bernard: Hrrrrrrrrrg.
5:01:28 PM Bernard: I have a migraine.
5:01:48 PM Bernard: Why don't I have curtains?!
5:02:31 PM Shana: I'm sorry, honey. Anything I can do to help? And curtains are beautiful things.
5:03:13 PM Bernard: Unless you have a mystical and very scientific ati-migraine ray, probably not.
5:03:37 PM Shana: Hmmm... no, fraid not.
5:03:49 PM Bernard: Bummer.
5:05:15 PM Shana: sorry! I'd invent one if I could!
5:05:24 PM Bernard: I know.
5:06:13 PM Shana: Take meds?
5:06:21 PM Bernard: Did.
5:06:53 PM Shana: *hugs*
5:06:57 PM Shana: I'm sorry.
5:07:17 PM Bernard: *is pathetic*
5:07:21 PM Bernard: Thank you.
5:08:28 PM Shana: : ( I'd come over and give you hugs right now if I could.
5:08:50 PM Bernard: You can't?
5:09:13 PM Bernard: Duh, I mean, you're probably busy.
5:09:41 PM Shana: Yeah. Sorry. Babysitting.
5:10:12 PM Bernard: Fun.
5:10:26 PM Shana: Eh.
Changed status to Idle (5:38:33 PM
7:28:02 PM Bernard: Mmmm, sorry.
7:28:08 PM Bernard: Dozed off there.
7:28:29 PM Shana: Feel better?
7:29:13 PM Bernard: Not really.
7:29:55 PM Shana: I'm sorry. I'd give you kisses and cuddles if I could!
7:31:01 PM Bernard: I would like them.
7:31:05 PM Bernard: *sigh*
7:33:12 PM Shana: So would I.
7:38:13 PM Bernard: So how've you been? I haven't talked to you since you came over the other day.
7:38:30 PM Shana: Busy. I've missed you, though!
7:38:40 PM Bernard: Missed you too.
7:38:42 PM Shana: I'm sorry, I'm probably not very fun to date. So destractable.
7:38:49 PM Shana: distractible?
7:39:26 PM Bernard: Distractable.
7:39:37 PM Bernard: It's okay, I know you've got, y'know, other priorities.
7:39:47 PM Shana: Spell check disagrees. And I wish I didn't!
7:40:11 PM Bernard: Mine says "may be derived from the word distract" so...idk.
7:40:18 PM Bernard: I wish you didn't either, but I get it.
7:40:48 PM Shana: Sorry. : ( I really do like hanging out with you?
7:41:57 PM Bernard: I would hope you do, otherwise this relationship has some problems.
7:45:24 PM Shana: Yeah. :D But I do!
7:46:42 PM Bernard: Good.
8:03:18 PM Bernard: Hhhhhhhhn.
8:08:41 PM Bernard: *whimpers*
8:09:07 PM Bernard: The people next door are having a party and their subwoofer is making my walls shake.
8:09:41 PM Shana: Aww! Yell at them!
8:09:53 PM Bernard: That makes my head hurt.
8:11:24 PM Shana: I'm sorry, honey.
8:12:12 PM Bernard: At least it's finally dark out so I don't feel like someone's stabbing me in the eyes with a hot needle every time I open them.
8:13:10 PM Shana: Owwww.
8:13:12 PM Shana: Pain meds!
8:13:20 PM Bernard: Taken!
8:14:15 PM Shana: Water? Food?
8:14:46 PM Bernard: Urg.
8:15:08 PM Shana: It will help...
8:15:20 PM Bernard: If I want to barf, maybe.
8:19:13 PM Shana: How much have you eaten today?
8:19:34 PM Bernard: I had breakfast...
8:19:55 PM Bernard: But then my migraine came on just before lunch, so that was a no-show. And then I went home and went to bed.
8:20:04 PM Shana: Bernard!
8:20:05 PM Shana: : (
8:20:19 PM Shana: You need food. I know it seems counterintuitive, but it'll help your head.
8:20:35 PM Bernard: It'll make me barf and then I'll feel worse.
8:20:42 PM Shana: It will not make you barf.
8:20:48 PM Bernard: That's what you think.
8:24:42 PM Shana: It's what I know.

9:00:39 PM Bernard: There. I ate something.
9:00:44 PM Bernard: I don't feel any better.
12:00:46 AM Bernard: I still can't sleep.
12:00:52 AM Bernard: And I'm still queasy.
12:00:54 AM Shana: I'm sorry.
12:01:02 AM Bernard: This fucking blows, dude.
12:01:06 AM Bernard: And not in any fun ways.
12:01:23 AM Shana: Awww! Sleeping pill?
12:01:32 AM Bernard: My walls are shaking.
12:01:37 AM Bernard: It doesn't really work that well.
12:02:56 AM Shana: Kiddo, call and make them shut up or something.
12:03:18 AM Bernard: I diiiiiiiiiid.
12:03:22 AM Bernard: They're all drunk.
12:03:27 AM Shana: Cops?
12:03:34 AM Bernard: Useless around here.
12:06:26 AM Shana: : (
12:06:31 AM Bernard: I knowwwww.
12:06:44 AM Bernard: God, my head keeps pounding and I really think I'm gonna yak soon.
12:07:14 AM Shana: Geeze, call a doctor or something!
12:07:38 AM Bernard: It's just a migraine.
12:07:43 AM Bernard: It'll go away in a day or so.
12:09:20 AM Bernard: I hate migraines. It's all my mom's fault. She gave them to me.
12:10:44 AM Shana: :-(
12:10:52 AM Bernard: Seriously.
1:14:56 AM Shana: How's it going? Any better?
1:16:10 AM Bernard: Nnnnngh.
1:16:53 AM Shana: *hugs*
1:17:29 AM Bernard: I'm trying to do homework to distract myself, but it's not really working.
1:17:41 AM Shana: And you still can't sleep?
1:17:48 AM Bernard: Nope.
1:18:06 AM Bernard: I think I'm gonna skip school tomorrow. Sleep in.
1:18:37 AM Shana: Aww. Wanna drive over and visit em?
1:18:39 AM Shana: me*
1:19:05 AM Shana: I'll stop working on my ship and everything!
1:19:06 AM Bernard: If I can stand being outside.
1:19:14 AM Bernard: I appreciate that.
1:19:36 AM Bernard: Idk if I'll be able to handle the sensory overload of driving to Chicago.
1:19:44 AM Shana: Awww
1:19:46 AM Bernard: That's a long trip by car, even your car.
1:21:01 AM Shana: OH RIGHT
1:21:10 AM Shana: You listen to speed limits and things, I forgot.
1:21:14 AM Shana: I can pick you up?
1:21:30 AM Bernard: That could work.
1:21:46 AM Bernard: I'll probably just want to lie down in a dark room and talk very quietly.
1:21:54 AM Shana: We can do that!
1:22:13 AM Bernard: Aww, thanks, Tim.
1:23:29 AM Bernard: You're so sweet when I'm miserable.
1:23:38 AM Shana: I'm always sweet! :-P
1:23:55 AM Bernard: I know.
1:24:31 AM Bernard: You know, I'm waiting with bated breath to see what our next "proper" date is going to be.
1:24:44 AM Bernard: I'm not sure if you can top going to the moon.
1:25:00 AM Shana: Hmm. How's the inside of a volcano?
1:25:41 AM Bernard: Ha! I'm not falling for that one, mister. I'm taking geology, I know how dangerous those things are.
1:25:44 AM Bernard: Looks like you'll have to try to kill me some other way. :P
1:26:26 AM Shana: The Bug is lava-proof!
1:26:39 AM Bernard: Darling, nothing is lava-proof.
1:26:40 AM Shana: The new Beetle tested it! WITH SCIENCE!
1:26:42 AM Bernard: It's lava.
1:27:04 AM Shana: It's been in a volcano and come out.
1:27:17 AM Bernard: (And don't think I didn't notice how you fanboyed science, you geek.)
1:29:12 AM Shana: SCIENCE!
1:29:37 AM Bernard: <3
1:33:35 AM Shana: Hey, baby, I wish I were a DNA helicase so I cold unzip your genes.
1:34:00 AM Bernard: ...Did you just come on to me using DNA?
1:34:07 AM Shana: ;-)
1:34:15 AM Bernard: You little freak, honestly.
1:35:15 AM Shana: You love it.
1:35:35 AM Shana: I wish I was your derivative so I could lie tangent to your curves.
1:35:45 AM Bernard: Aww, that's so sweet.
1:36:12 AM Shana: ...you aren't very curvy. Oh well!
1:36:18 AM Bernard: I'm not, but that's okay.
1:36:21 AM Shana: It's okay, because you're like an exothermic reaction.
1:36:26 AM Bernard: How so?
1:36:27 AM Shana: You spread your hotness everywhere.
1:36:35 AM Bernard: *laughs*
1:36:53 AM Bernard: You're adorable.
1:36:58 AM Shana: <3
1:38:10 AM Shana: You know, you're like sine squared and I'm like cosine squared.
1:38:28 AM Bernard: I am?
1:38:30 AM Bernard: You are?
1:38:42 AM Shana: Together we're one.
1:39:51 AM Bernard: Oh my god, this is ridiculous. I'm finding your science pick-up lines adorable and romantic.
1:39:59 AM Bernard: (That one was good.)
1:40:18 AM Shana: <3 Maybe you're turned on by geekiness?
1:40:41 AM Bernard: This is possible.
1:40:56 AM Bernard: Maybe it's just you.
1:41:05 AM Shana: I am pretty geeky...
1:41:10 AM Bernard: You really are.
1:41:38 AM Bernard: It's okay, I like it.
1:45:39 AM Shana: Oh good.
1:46:07 AM Bernard: *laughs*
1:46:30 AM Shana: Because I'm attracted to you so strongly, scientists will have to develop a fifth fundamental force.
1:46:57 AM Bernard: ...Okay, I didn't really get that one, but it's still adorable.
1:48:17 AM Shana: Well, you know how there are four fundamental forces?
1:48:24 AM Bernard: There are?
1:48:39 AM Shana: Yeah, strong, electro-magnet, weak, and gravity.
1:48:48 AM Bernard: ...Yeah, totally.
1:49:39 AM Shana: Strong holds nucleus together, electro-magnet is, well, magnets, weak helps the sun burn and such, and gravity is, well, gravity.
1:50:08 AM Bernard: Huh, cool.
1:50:55 AM Bernard: So they're going to have to make up a fifth one, huh?
1:51:00 AM Bernard: You charmer.
1:51:23 AM Shana: Yep!
1:55:26 AM Bernard: Nnnngh, this paper is dumb.
1:55:36 AM Shana: What paper?
1:55:45 AM Bernard: The one I'm trying to write.
1:57:33 AM Bernard: I have to talk about the role of language in religious services.
1:57:45 AM Shana: ...fun?
1:57:49 AM Bernard: Lame!
1:57:55 AM Bernard: I hate this class. D:
1:58:05 AM Bernard: My communications class is way more interesting.
1:58:16 AM Bernard: We're talking about non-verbals, which is actually cool.
2:05:40 AM Shana: Ooooh. What are you learning?
2:06:38 AM Bernard: Oh, y'know, we're just talking about how about 65% of Western society's communications are non-verbals.
2:07:10 AM Bernard: And like, what types of gestures mean.
2:07:41 AM Bernard: The meaning of eye-contact, touch, stuff like that.
2:08:33 AM Shana: Ooooh. I would love a class like that.
2:08:44 AM Bernard: The beginning sucked, though.
2:08:46 AM Bernard: It was boring.
2:09:40 AM Shana: Aww.
2:19:01 AM Bernard: Cissie and Dick are home safe!
2:19:07 AM Shana: Yay!
2:20:25 AM Shana: Aww man, it's two! When did it get so late, Bernard?
2:20:35 AM Bernard: When you were hitting on me with science.
2:21:39 AM Shana: Aww.
2:21:48 AM Shana: You're so cute you make my zygomaticus muscles contract.
2:21:58 AM Bernard: I make you smile?
2:22:03 AM Bernard: Awww, I'm glad.
2:22:07 AM Shana: <3
2:22:14 AM Shana: Do I make yours contract too?
2:22:21 AM Bernard: All the time, baby.
2:23:30 AM Shana: D'aww, you're so gneiss. I'll never take you for granite.
2:23:48 AM Bernard: *laughs*
2:24:19 AM Bernard: I should hope not, not if you're planning on cummingtonite.
2:24:41 AM Shana: *laughs* You're geeky too!
2:24:52 AM Bernard: I hide it well.
2:25:42 AM Shana: You know, if we form a singularity it could lead to a big bang.
2:25:52 AM Bernard: I'll say.
2:26:28 AM Shana: <3
2:26:52 AM Shana: Anyway, night, QTπ
2:27:05 AM Bernard: *laughs*
2:27:09 AM Bernard: Geek.
2:27:22 AM Bernard: 'Night, honeybunch.
2:28:05 AM Shana: Niiight!
This next part takes place after the kidnapping plot wraps up.
2:28:31 AM Shana: Hey, Bernard. How are things?
2:28:44 AM Bernard: Things are fine, absolutely great.
2:28:46 AM Bernard: How are you?
2:28:52 AM Bernard: Are you okay?
2:29:00 AM Shana: Yeah, I'm fine. So is Cissie.
2:29:13 AM Bernard: Oh good.
2:30:24 AM Shana: Not the most fun experience ever, but we survived. That's the important thing.
2:30:43 AM Bernard: Yeah, definitely.
2:30:47 AM Bernard: I was worried.
2:31:45 AM Shana: Yeah? Well, luckily they didn't know who I was. So they underestimated me.
2:32:02 AM Bernard: That's good.
2:33:44 AM Shana: It helped.
2:41:22 AM Shana: So what have I missed? Tim told me you went to the Manor and hung out with him and Lian?
2:42:22 AM Bernard: He was freaking out. I felt he needed some company, not to mention help with Lian.
2:42:43 AM Shana: Yeah, I'm glad. He definitely needed it.
2:42:53 AM Shana: It's worse to be on the sidelines, sometimes.
2:43:14 AM Bernard: Yeah, I'm definitely seeing that.
2:43:38 AM Shana: Are you okay?
2:44:00 AM Bernard: Yeah,
2:44:13 AM Bernard: I mean, I was seriously freaking out, but it's okay now.
2:45:50 AM Shana: I'm sorry.
2:46:10 AM Bernard: It's okay.
2:46:42 AM Shana: I did get us out of there as fast as I could.
2:46:47 AM Bernard: I know.
2:48:12 AM Bernard: When I heard they got you too, I was seriously freaked. Because, not to, y'know, pander to your ego or anything, but you're good.
2:48:18 AM Bernard: I was worried.
2:48:34 AM Shana: Well, thanks.
2:49:02 AM Shana: But... well, they weren't that good. I couldn't let Cissie go through all of that alone.
2:49:28 AM Bernard: That was really nice of you.
2:49:41 AM Bernard: I'm sure Tim appreciated having two people to worry about, too.
2:49:43 AM Bernard: *laughs*
2:50:20 AM Bernard: And Roy, for that matter.
2:51:05 AM Shana: Yeah... I felt bad about that. But I know how hard it can be to find these people. And I know how hard it can be to be alone there, scared, and Cissie's good, but she hasn't been a hero in years, and she wasn't really held hostage that much.
2:51:29 AM Bernard: Heh. Yeah...
2:51:37 AM Bernard: I guess you'd know a lot about that, wouldn't you?
2:51:50 AM Bernard: Didn't Roy call you "boy hostage" at one point? I was scared to ask.
2:52:11 AM Shana: ...I may have to hurt him.
2:52:13 AM Shana: But yes.
2:52:30 AM Bernard: Aww, don't hurt your boyfriend. He loves you!
2:52:38 AM Shana: I had a bit of a reputation for a while of getting tied up a lot. Which, for the record, was entirely exaggerated.
2:52:45 AM Shana: (And I won't really hurt him. I love him too.)
2:53:04 AM Shana: And he's already upset about the whole getting myself kidnapped thing.
2:53:15 AM Bernard: Yeah, I can see how he'd be a little upset.
2:53:51 AM Shana: He'll get over it.
2:54:03 AM Bernard: I think you should make it up to him.
2:54:10 AM Bernard: Grovel a little. Take him out somewhere nice.
2:54:19 AM Shana: ...are you giving me relationship advice?
2:54:42 AM Bernard: Hey, "he'll get over it" is not the best way to go about making sure your significant other still likes you.
2:55:13 AM Bernard: Even I know that, and I'm still in high school.
2:57:21 AM Shana: *sigh* Yes, but I wasn't in the wrong, here. I knew he'd be worried. I got Lian to safety and tried to get Cissie out. When that failed, I had to make a split second choice and I *knew* she'd be better off with me there too. I'm not going to apologize for possibly saving Cissie's life.
2:57:40 AM Bernard: Don't! Apologize for worrying him.
2:57:46 AM Bernard: Two very different things.
2:57:48 AM Shana: I've done that!
2:57:54 AM Bernard: Do it with flowers.
2:58:06 AM Bernard: Or...maybe more arrows, I don't know what Roy's into.
2:58:17 AM Shana: ...a bouquet of arrows? That would be interesting.
2:58:38 AM Bernard: Original, at least.
2:59:01 AM Shana: Chocolate arrows are a possibility.
2:59:09 AM Bernard: Chocolate is delicious.
2:59:41 AM Shana: Attempting not to drive everyone crazy while I'm under house arrest, maybe.
2:59:47 AM Bernard: That would be nice.
3:00:03 AM Shana: Indeed.
3:00:10 AM Shana: ...not sure how possible it is.
3:00:20 AM Bernard: I would try very, very hard.
3:00:44 AM Shana: I hate that I can't patrol right now. I've been chained to a chair for the past three days and now I can't exercise. It's terrible.
3:01:10 AM Bernard: Do yoga. I hear it's good for your body, mind, and soul.
3:01:28 AM Shana: ...I'm good at yoga.
3:01:48 AM Bernard: It's a small-space form of stretchy exercise. I'd reccomend it.
3:02:09 AM Bernard: *recommend
3:02:31 AM Shana: Not that good for burning off energy, though. Really nice stretches, but still.
3:03:34 AM Bernard: Take up knitting?
3:03:41 AM Shana: ...knitting?
3:03:48 AM Bernard: Dude, I don't know.
3:04:00 AM Shana: It's okay, I don't actually need suggestions.
3:04:15 AM Bernard: Hmph. I feel so wanted.
3:04:26 AM Shana: Hmm?
3:04:53 AM Bernard: Hn. Never mind.
3:05:32 AM Shana: I'll end up resorting to my old standby of America's Most Wanted, a telephone, and spending most of my time balanced on my less-injured arm.
3:06:19 AM Bernard: Sounds like fun.
3:07:29 AM Shana: Ha.
3:08:22 AM Bernard: I bet Lian's glad to have you home.
3:08:57 AM Shana: Yeah, she is. She was worried about us.
3:09:07 AM Bernard: With good reason.
3:09:10 AM Bernard: She's a smart kid.
3:09:52 AM Shana: She is. Knew what to do to get away and everything.
3:10:36 AM Bernard: I'm slightly alarmed that a five year old knows how to escape a hostage situation.
3:11:03 AM Shana: Superhero family. And Roy's ID is known.
3:11:13 AM Bernard: Point.
3:11:35 AM Shana: You were probably pretty adept at different languages pretty quickly, right? Traveling around as you did?
3:11:52 AM Bernard: Yeah.
3:12:38 AM Shana: Same situation.
3:12:44 AM Shana: Well, same idea, I mean.
3:12:47 AM Shana: Different situation.
3:12:53 AM Bernard: Heh. Yes.
3:27:26 AM Shana: Okay, kiddo. I'm going to bed.
3:27:44 AM Bernard: Alright.
3:27:53 AM Bernard: Say hi for me to people.
3:27:59 AM Bernard: And give Cissie a hug.
3:30:05 AM Shana: Will do. Sleep well, Bernard!
3:30:44 AM Bernard: You too, Dick.
3:32:50 AM Shana: Night!
3:33:09 AM Bernard: Night. Welcome home.
3:33:59 AM Shana: THanks.
