So, that's a little bit unnerving.

Comments

[impulseofwinter]

Hmm?

[jadedgiantess]

Does Matt strike you as a little...Stepford-y today?

[impulseofwinter]

So I'm not being over-sensitive.

[jadedgiantess]

What was it with you?

[impulseofwinter]

He was.. talking about charity baseball because Steve had mentioned it, and children, wanting to raise proper ones. He chastised me for being violent, and now that I think about it wasn't thrilled at the idea of my playing baseball.

[jadedgiantess]

He wanted to help with a few of Tony's 'less positive habits' and when I asked what they were, said he couldn't because it would be gossiping. He whistled to himself making tea like a Disney princess. No sarcasm. Just...fake.

[impulseofwinter]

..What was he whistling?

[jadedgiantess]

Not the one from Kill Bill.

[impulseofwinter]

And I assume the gossip comment wasn't teasing.

..Something else. I made a comment about hitting him if he made me blush. He didn't go for it like he normally would; I'd assumed he wasn't in the mood.

[jadedgiantess]

No.

There was a small wound on his neck. His first move was to deflect from it.

[impulseofwinter]

And when you pressed him about it?

[jadedgiantess]

He let me examine it, and said he'd let Elenore take a look at it. I'm not sure I believe him.

[impulseofwinter]

[She snorts.] At least that hasn't changed.

Is there any reason you can think of for him to be Stepfordy? If it were me, it would be because I was going to the psychologist.

[jadedgiantess]

The wound was...surgical. But it could be someone's ability.

[impulseofwinter]

[She nods thoughtfully.]

I hope we're being paranoid and he just ate interesting brownies.

[jadedgiantess]

Ele seems like she'd be able to tell if it's not. If he didn't just get high by mistake.

[impulseofwinter]

Yeah. I like her.

..Should I feel bad that my first question is to ask if he's been around Charlie recently?

[jadedgiantess]

She's...interesting.

Why?

[impulseofwinter]

Oh?

Long story, and most of it is guesswork.

..What do we do, Jen?

[jadedgiantess]

...She's functioning as my doctor for the moment.

The fact she was suicidal being part of it?

Get him checked out by someone with better tech than we have. Watch him. Have each other's back.

[impulseofwinter]

Oh. [She offers a hand for Jen to take.]

Part of it, yes.

[Aeron nods, gnawing her lower lip absentmindedly. Amazingly, she doesn't break skin.] I.. could see if the bastard could be flattered.

[jadedgiantess]

[Jen squeezes Aeron's hand.] I was pregnant.

The rest?

First Ele, who he's agreed to. If she fails, exposing weakness to said bastard would be more appropriate.

[impulseofwinter]

Oh love. I'm so sorry. [And she truly is, which she feels no small amount of relief for. And of course, guilt for the relief.]

I think she may have given him something without telling him before she did.

[Aeron nods.] Good.

[ooc: Would Jen want to go drinking with Aeron and Cap?]

[jadedgiantess]

Apparently my body didn't handle the failed attempt normally. The leftover had to be removed.

I find myself glad she hasn't been around as much.

Amazing that we actually have multiple options.

[OOC: Oh yes, definitely.]

[impulseofwinter]

[Kay, going for the hug now.]

Me too. I couldn't handle her on top of this.

Even if we might need the first to watch the second? "Hi Ele, this is my mom. Yes he's biologically male, no that didn't happen how you think. He's brilliant and batshit, will you watch him to make sure he doesn't Frankenstein my boyfriend? P.S. Bring weed killer."

[jadedgiantess]

[She'll take that comfort gladly.]

She needs help, badly, but won't take it...That wears hard.

...Actually, she might die of sheer joy.

[impulseofwinter]

I'm so sorry, Jen.

...Yeah. I've. Been there, and I know I should be more understanding because, but.. I was poison then.

From which part?

[jadedgiantess]

At least we know the eggs aren't impenetrable. Everything else will come as she lets me know.

It's...someone needs to reach out to her, but there's also the reality that no matter how much someone else reach out, the other person has to choose to take the help.

The new information and possibilities. I think she went to her happy place when I transformed in front of her.

Just to clarify she's not talking about the stored sperm. Couldn't think of how to work that bit in.

[impulseofwinter]

Still. It isn't your fault. Especially if it was mine; there's a good chance my sperm are deformed by now. So. Its probably my fault.

Yeah. And until they do--no one's as vicious as an animal in pain.

[She laughs softly, then sobers.] He could use that against her.

I thought she wasn't, but it's good to be clear. Oh! would kami have the same number of chromosomes?

[jadedgiantess]

It might be because I transform too much.

Exactly. And they've been known to take everyone they can down with them.

He could. Though, there's something about her that reminds me of a feral cat, even then.

Tentatively yes. Aeron most def.

[impulseofwinter]

Still. Don't put all the blame on you.

Sounds very familiar.

Maybe we should pop popcorn.

Aeron's the more vital for general knowledge

[jadedgiantess]

No blame. Just a kind of exhaustion.

Yeah.

It would be interesting to watch.
