[Three weeks since Ari had the baby. And she's actually out and about on her own, for once

i have wanted to do this for a while

[[Ariana here has been wandering around almost aimlessly ever since she learned about her boss's betrayal. Things just...haven't been the same since. She has no motivation.

...the sight of that ever-so-familiar red hair might just perk it up a bit.

She sees the baby, and (her) the girl with the magazine, pretending to read it. The pieces fit together. The clinic. The defensive younger version of her fellow executives.

It's all making sense. The little liars.

Without skipping a beat, she slides herself into the seat opposite the girl, all charming smiles and red lipstick and nails.]]

Any interesting articles?

|D

[Ari tenses at the arrival of an older version of herself, regarding the woman with remarkable venom.]

Nope. Just the typical tabloids.

[[Ariana is well aware of the glare she's being subjected to; it amuses her.]]

Have I done something wrong? You don't look too impressed to see me. But then again, we haven't met, have we?

Ariana.

[fixyostrays]

...Hmm. Guess not, Ariana.

I just don't enjoy seeing wrinkles on "my" face.

[red_rockette]

[[Oh, that makes her snort.]]

Honey, if you're the one who just gave birth to that, wrinkles on your face are the last thing you need to worry about.

[fixyostrays]

Oh I'm sure you're in no better shape.

sorry about that, grammar error

[red_rockette]

You'd be surprised~

[[...just. Looking at you closely.]]

...how old are you?

[fixyostrays]

Fuck you, that's how old.

[Sixteen at most.]

[red_rockette]

So edgy, baby~

[[Mhmm, she can tell. After all, it is almost like looking into a mirror.

Albeit one with far less class and timeless beauty~~]]

I just find it odd that you're so young, that's all. I was just on 21 when I gave birth to my charming little pest.

It must have been hard.

[fixyostrays]

If you were twenty one then you can't say a fucking word to me about it.

[red_rockette]

Mhmmm, perhaps not. But tell me, do you always push people away or is it just part of this....'badass' sort of attitude you're going for?

It's fascinating, really.

[fixyostrays]

Oh fuck yourself.

I haven't encountered a "me" I didn't want to strangle yet.

[red_rockette]

Then the problem is probably you, baby. But I suppose I can't blame you; pregnancy is a bitch.

[[She would know, after all.

...on both counts.]]

But take from a 'you' that has experienced this sort of thing; throwing 'fuck' around a few times isn't going to scare people away, particularly when you're a teenager with a baby. Especially not someone like me. I've been sworn at more times than I could count. The words lose their power after a while. Which is good, really, because that's all they are. Words.

[[She'll just be lounging back in that (painfully uncomfortable, ugh) chair, now.]]

Oh look at me blathering on. Must be the old age, hmmm~?

[fixyostrays]

Fine, here's two perfectly good words that are hard to misunderstand: go away.

[red_rockette]

But I haven't even got my cappuccino yet!

[[Despite the fact that she...um. Hasn't ordered anything.]]

Besides, here was me thinking I could give you some advice about raising that thing. Since I've actually done it, and all.

That, and I'm enjoying the nostalgia.

[fixyostrays]

I don't know you, and I don't trust you.
