Now look, I acted a little stupid last week. But to be perfectly fair, you kids could have been a lot more cooperative. I think we all learned something valuable that day. That you kids should avoid people with bags and that I don't like any kids but my own.

Anyways, we'll be getting new feathers soon. Anyone care to make a gentleman's wager on what the first one will be like? I'm going to go with teenage girl, perky and annoying, and dressed way skimpier than she ought to be. Any takers?

[herotypical]

So much for the gentleman's wager bit, huh?

[hageshii]

Lady's wager doesn't quite roll off the tongue.

[herotypical]

And I'm supposed to just accept that it was all one big literary choice? [She chuckles.]

What are you even wagering with?

[hageshii]

Hmph, I guess you wouldn't know something like that. Nothing is being wagered. The only thing you get by winning is respect.

[herotypical]

Well--I guess that's better than betting for kittens.

[hageshii]

Why would you want to-

Anyways, your guess?

[herotypical]

[It's a vamp thing.]

I'm gonna go with yet another ye olde middle ages kid who wouldn't know what a dvd player was if one was thrown at their head.

[hageshii]

What the hell is a DVD player? [Is that like Betamax?]

[herotypical]

My case, see how it rests?

[SIGH.]

[hageshii]

I'm sick of people not knowing what a damn holovid is.

[herotypical]

See, now? Now you're just spouting techy nonsense. Like...Jim, or Bones does.

[hageshii]

Yeah. No idea who you are talking about.

[herotypical]

One's a future captain the other's a future doctor. I mean, they are what they are...just from the future.

[hageshii]

Oh, McCoy. Yeah, him and his lot. They're from the past too.

[herotypical]

Yeah. McCoy. [Pause] The past? You mean--you're even more future fantastic than they are? My God.

[hageshii]

It's lonely up here on the top, but I try to make the best of it.

[herotypical]

So, how do you know my housemate, the good doctor?

[hageshii]

We got stranded in the bar during the blizzard. You should hear the guy sing some time.

[herotypical]

I think I'll pass. The little bit I did witness was kinda enough for me. He should probably stick to patching people up and being a grump.

[hageshii]

Pretty sure I prefer drunk 'Bones'. The sober version wants to smash my windows.

[herotypical]

I think the sober version usually wants to smash everything.

[hageshii]

So you can see where I'm getting at.

[herotypical]

That you want to get my friend all liquored up for your own warped musical amusement?

[hageshii]

Not how I would have put it, but sure. That sounds good.

[herotypical]

Indulge me. How would you have put it?
