40 ... what doesn't kill you only maims you just a little

[Yeah. She just saw her name on the Bachlorettes list. Starting the dictation off with a resigned sigh,]

I guess this is somehow his way of getting back at me for signing him up for the Bachelor auction. [There's a hint of amusement in her voice, even if she's a little upset with the whole idea,] I'll take it as a challenge to enjoy it,

[Have some actually amused snickering at the news.] What is it with people and signing others up against their wishes?

[brdskllwarrior]

Uh, well I guess I sort of deserve it; I signed Shortpack up for the last bachelor auction when he was still here. We were in the middle of a prank war, though. I don't know who's to blame for this.

[A small, thoughtful pause,] Glad you got back alright.

[dontpatr0nizeme]

I didn't deserve it for the other auction, and yet someone felt I needed signed up.

It's good to not be dead or stranded on a fucking island.

[brdskllwarrior]

It wasn't me. [It really wasn't, and the only reason she'd signed Shortpack up was because they'd been pranking each other for a spell.]

Just how far out were you?

[Oho, if she ever finds out, Penny ... BEWARE!]

[handsthathelp]

[it will be HILARIOUS AND AWESOME. I mean. SCARY AND TERRIFYING]

[brdskllwarrior]

[THAT IT WILL BE.]

[inkyprophet]

It looks f-fun! [yes, he's oblivious to the awkwardness of the situation.]

You'll be fine... right?

[brdskllwarrior]

[If only it somehow involved beating something up, then 7 would be a lot happier. ]

Perfectly okay. [Yup. Totally not too fast or unconvincing.]

[inkyprophet]

[...oh, well.]

It'll be short...

[brdskllwarrior]

[A little sound of resignation. She keeps reminding herself that it could be a lot worse, like she could be human.]

I'll manage.
