The Aftermath of a Birthday

[twitchnosewitch]

Well, Jaydyn broke up with me. He got hurt somehow, and I got guilted into going to take care of him, and he yelled at me. Repeatedly

Wow... I know I don't know you very well but I'm really really sorry. If it makes you feel any better I've never had a birthday at all, so at least you're better off than me. I hope you feel better soon, you seem like a real nice lady.

[twitchnosewitch]

You've never had a birthday? That's terrible! We'll have to fix that.

[d_n_alex]

*shrugs* I don't even know when it is. It's no big deal. I just wish yours had been a lot happier, something tells me you deserve it.

[twitchnosewitch]

We could have an un-birthday party for you...seems I'll be having one soon, after all.

[d_n_alex]

Well nobody really knows me so it's okay. I'd love to give you something but I still don't even have a place to live, let alone money for a present. Do you like flowers? I could pick you some from the park.

Hey, if you're in Gotham, it looks like I'm going to be living there soon. You can crash with me if you want. Just don't mind the fat grouchy jerk on the couch. And the boxes--if there's one thing I know about moving, it's that there will be boxes.

[d_n_alex]

That's really nice of you but I don't even know you. You could be working for them.

[typeo_support]

Them who?

[d_n_alex]

The government and military that want me back.

[typeo_support]

Oh. Uh, no, nothing like that. I work for Generitech right now, but I've put in my two weeks' notice, and if my luck holds (knock on wood), I'll be working at Arkham soon.

*morphs. Feels more comfortable talking to men in another form sometimes*

That sounds great. I'm happy for you. I don't really have any skills that I could use to get a job.

[typeo_support]

Oh. Uh, hey. Well, you're a friend of Rosie, right?

How did you do that?

[d_n_alex]

I'm a genetic experiment. I was scheduled for termination and vivisection so I escaped. I was developed in a test tube... long story, I'm sure you don't want to hear it.

[typeo_support]

Oh. Uh, okay. Well, the offer stands. You could, I dunno, clean up and stuff if you feel like you've gotta do something.

[d_n_alex]

Thanks! I'll think about it. *she smiles a dazzling smile*

Oh yeah.. I'm Alex. *she offers her hand*

[typeo_support]

Uh... Ted. Hi. *shakes her hand--his is cold*
