Something like that. Back home for me's complicated, so I still haven't decided if some of it sucks or not.
The dinos--ohhh. So you're Gert, then? Michael told me a little about you. Hi. I guess I'm one of your new neighbors. [And with a smile to your voice.] Make that 98% percent then.
Yeah, not everyone gets a dinosaur as an early inheritance. As for the rest, I guess I could've been more subtle and said I just missed my boyfriend, but he also falls under my 'friends,' and besides, subtlety can kiss my ass.
So THAT was your early inheritance? A dinosaur? [She makes something of a face, not that Gert could see it. Ro laughs at that second part, though.] Ohhh, I LIKE you. I'm sorry to heart your boyfriend, though. I really can't talk then.
... whoah. You're gonna wanna back up, I think there's something I missed about that. Are your parents Mr. and Mrs. Doom or some shit?
I can't talk because my boyfriend's not even a guy I thought would become my boyfriend. I really have no excuses on that one... sorry if I cracked any really bad jokes, though.
Essentially. Time-travelers who allied with some Biblical giants to pave over the world and make it a new Garden of Eden, in a manner of speaking.
Sister, we're in the same boat on that one. Chase is the kind of guy I would actively avoid, but circumstance makes for unlikely bedfellows. Not that I'm really complaining.
Don't worry, nothing you said set off any bells for me.
It's a story I love telling. Gives people insight to my particular brand of cynicism.
Like I said, no room to speak. Mine's a former lacrosse-player who drives an unmarked, windowless white van to fly under cop radar. And like I said, it was brief. He was mouthing off like he actually knows the way the female mind works and, as a female, I felt necessary to counter his argument.
I dunno if it's a good thing or a bad that that I feel you. For about... 99% of that whole thing.

99%? The one percent has to be the part about the dinosaur, right?

Has he? Nothing good, I hope. [Audible smirk in her voice.] Well, it's always good to have a little more female energy around.

Just the dinosaur part. I'm Rochelle. And hah, yeah. To be, uh, ALMOST equally blunt? Yeah, it's the dinosaur thing and that last thing.

Hey, I'm sorry, too. I never thought I'd actually be a girl with a boyfriend to miss, let alone worth missing.

Sounds like me and Nick, take away that last thing. Anyway, good to know.

Nick... isn't he the ladykiller wannabe scumbag in the Saturday Night Fever getup? We butted heads briefly a while back.

... Yep, basically. Before you say anything, I know. [Blinks.] Didn't know you guys talked, though.

Sounds like a match made in heaven with a dumb sport.

Yeah. Pretty much sums it up.
