...Wait so I'm supposed to do what with this?

I guess I leave a message.

Hey, this is Rileyable Riley. Leave a message.

So does that work?




[ooc: Leave a message for her!]

[everysecond]

[So that's what going for it is like. Okay, she could get used to that. It's definitely a pretty good feeling.

Deep breath. Okay.]

Yeah.

[Smooth, Riley. Smooth.]

[tonsofpun]

[Talking has gone much, much better than she ever imagined that it would.]

... so, you can do that whenever you want, by the way.

[Grinning, she bumps her again and gets up off the bed. Like nothing at all has changed, because at its heart, it really hasn't. They're still them, just with something added.]

C'mon, I'm starving.

[everysecond]

Yeah. You can too.

[She flops back onto the bed then grabs her pictures to go after Ellie, making a stop in her room to quickly tack the pictures near her bed. Then she's out and looking around.]

So did you hear the joke about the girl who dumped juice on a cyborg?

[tonsofpun]

[Still beaming like an idiot, Ellie haunts her doorway, admiring the pictures.]

... no?

[Is this going to be a pun, please say it's a pun.]

[everysecond]

Joke's on you. It's actually how I met Joel.

[You can have a pun later, Ellie. Promise.]

[tonsofpun]

... you spilled juice on Joel?

[Excuse her while she starts sputtering out laughter.]

What'd he do?

[everysecond]

Well it was an accident. And Cyborg Man went off to put on new clothes while grumbling that I had to clean it up. Like this.

[And she mimics his grumpy face and walk for him going to go change.]

[tonsofpun]

[Ellie snorts loudly, shaking her head.]

Still better than how I met him. I almost stabbed the shit out of him because I thought he'd hurt Marlene.

[everysecond]

I always knew you had balls. Even if you sometimes got your ass kicked for them.

[That's admiration in her tone. Really.]

[tonsofpun]

[Ellie grins back at her. Oh, she got her ass kicked. A lot.]

I kick a little more ass than I used to, back then.

And anyway, Tess grabbed me before I could. Probably a good thing.

[everysecond]

[Riley laughs because she can just picture how awkward that would have been.]

Tess is cool. She bought me cupcakes.

[tonsofpun]

So that's where all those cupcakes in the kitchen came from.

Man, you worked on her fast.

[everysecond]

You don't have to sound so surprised. I'm just naturally that adorable.

[Yep.]

[tonsofpun]

I think she's got a weakness for punk kids.

[Ellie doesn't bother to hide the fond note in her voice. Tess has come to be very, very important to her.]

[everysecond]

You just fail to appreciate how naturally awesome I am.

[She lifts her head in the oh-so-arrogant way she can get as she makes her way to the kitchen and actually sits right on the counter.]

So what are we having?

[tonsofpun]

[Ellie gives her knee a light smack and checks the fridge, then shuts it, crossing her arms.]

Wait, and I'm cooking why?

[everysecond]

One: You can cook. Two: You'd look way cuter in one of those apron things that we saw in those weird ass pictures.

[Perfectly logical reasoning.]

[tonsofpun]

You can cook, no matter what you say. And ew.

[Ellie plants her hands on her narrow hips and gives her a look.]

Fine. But you're gonna help me. Let's make an omelet.

[everysecond]

Fiiiine.

[She hops down then goes into the fridge to pull out eggs and...some random stuff. At least she's good enough to not grab the bacon.]

Here we go.

[Setting things down, she decides to try something and opens a cabinet that has a bowl and concentrates on it. Sure enough, she manages to get a bowl to come floating out of the cabinet and onto the counter. Sure it drops the last half inch or so but the point is...]

BOOSH! I did it!

[tonsofpun]

[Ellie actually jumps when the bowl floats out and down, take a quick step back before she notices Riley's look of intense concentration.]

Fuck, this is gonna be hard to get used to.

[everysecond]

This is seriously so fucking cool.

[She grabs some eggs so she can crack them in a bowl.]

Come on, girl. We're working on this together, remember?

[tonsofpun]

It is.

[Shit, she can just imagine what Riley's going to get up to, moving objects with her mind. They'd thought she was a force to contend with before, but now? Crap.]

Okay, here-

[Ellie tosses her a whisk while she goes to grab cheese, milk and vegetables to put into the omelet, starts heating up a skillet.]

Have you been messing around with it a lot?

[everysecond]

[Mixing the eggs, she grins at her.]

Hell yeah. Mostly with moving rocks around when I go wandering around. Oh and I was messing with bullets while you were showering once. That was pretty cool.

[tonsofpun]

Okay, break this down for me. Messing with bullets?

[She doesn't follow, but she slaps a bit of butter into the pan, looking at her questioningly.]

[everysecond]

Well I was going to be the amazing mind juggler but it mostly turned into me tossing them onto my pillow instead.

[She slides the eggs over to her.]
