So here's an interesting thing. I distinctly remember eating some stuff last night because I'm a growing girl and that's what growing girls do, and when I woke up this morning, it's back. Which means someone was in my place last night, and yes, my doors and windows were locked. Not because I don't trust any of you. But I definitely don't trust some of you. [She kids. Except not really.]

And whoever went into my bedroom last night, it makes me sad that you didn't leave a note. So how about you speak up and we get to know each other?

To be clear, do you consider sheriffs to be authority figures? Or preschool teachers.

Because if it's both, then yeah. I'm guessing you're going to have a couple problems.

[goodluckkobra]

Well, not preschool teachers. [He laughs.] Maybe for kids, but I didn't really mind authority when I was a kid, you know?

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

And I'm guessing the apocalypse didn't help.

I don't really mind authority figures, though. If they were real authorities, they'd find better places to hide their passwords than the bottom of their staplers.

[goodluckkobra]

[He laughs. He can tell that they're going to get along well already.] Man, I wish the ones I tangle with did that.

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

What are the ones you tangle with like? Spanish Inquisition? Monty Python Spanish Inquisition?

[goodluckkobra]

No, they're more like--have you ever seen Solar Babies? They're like 80s scifi villains.

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

[Her eyes narrow as she tries to think of them.] Like... Rainbow Brite?

[goodluckkobra]

No, that's a fuckin' cartoon, V. Solar Babies is a movie from the 80s. They rollerskate in the desert. It's like that, but we have cars and our laser guns look cooler.

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to correct you, but that's a fucking cartoon that rocked me into rainbow socks for a year. I could have rollerskated on a rainbow, K. On a rainbow. And had- [Pause for breath.] a unicorn.

Unicorns trump cars and laser guns, hands down.

[goodluckkobra]

[Well, now she's got his attention.]

Unicorns trump fucking everything, V. They're fucking unicorns.

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

[She gives him an appraising look that lasts several seconds.]

I think I actually might grow to like you, K. And I don't mean because the cloud of radiation around you is quickly turning my brain to mush and I'll be liking everything soon. I'll know I'm in trouble if I like Hulk Hogan next.

[goodluckkobra]

There are a number of brain problems that could cause that, but I think they're all terminal.

[He laughs.]

And I've spent years trying to explain to my brother that unicorns are a gift and a treasure and I should have one. It would be totally badass!

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

[She cracks a grin at the terminal remark, but she truly brightens when the keep talking about unicorns.]

Right? You can gore your enemies and have a conversation piece for all your friends!

[goodluckkobra]

Yes! [He grins and he is most definitely picturing Korse stabbed through with a unicorn's horn and it bucks on its hind legs and just throws his limp remains.]

They are fucking majestic slaughter machines!

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

Yep.

Fucking majestic.

Do you guys have spam in the future? Like, in a can? And how are the roaches doing? [She's concerned about her future, okay?]

[goodluckkobra]

Sometimes we find years-old cans of Spam. Still tastes just like cat food. [He laughs.] And the roaches are tragically still everywhere.

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

I used to name the ones in our apartment. I kind of miss them, now.

How'd you wind up with the name Kobra, anyway? Huge snake fan, bad speller?

[goodluckkobra]

I needed a new name. [He shrugs.] When you have to make a big change, you need a big name to go with it.

[He's not going to elaborate more than that, because he doesn't like thinking about his old name.]

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

I'd to with Sharkpocalypse or Stormageddon, myself. The Raze Raver. Daphne Destructer. Evil Ennui.

[She considers that for a moment.] Okay, so the last one's out. But you have to admit, Sharkpocalypse is pretty good.

[goodluckkobra]

Totally. If you are aiming for kickass roller derby names, you are hitting your target. [He grins.] I wish I could do roller derby.

I will totally call you Sharkpocalypse if you want. [He's also going to do it if she doesn't want.]

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

I do want. I also want you to play my theme song whenever you see me coming. Something like Jaws, but that won't get us sued if Steven Spielberg ends up here.

And if we find a basement and enough skates, we're in business on the roller derby front.

[goodluckkobra]

If he tries to sue us, I'll just punch him. Me and Kenz totally made our own soundtracks the other day and it was badass.

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

[She can picture him punching someone, sure, but she can't see the soundtracks.]

Soundtracks? We have the tech for soundtracks?

[goodluckkobra]

Well you just gotta sing the song.

[He laughs.]

Haven't you ever sung your own soundtrack?

[flatasgodmademe.livejournal.com]

I did karaoke to meet a shadowy, sinister figure who was supposed to be leading a wannabe-secret society.

But he turned out to be a drunk guy on a toilet.

I try not to take it as a reflection of my singing.
