FOR SCIENCE

Does this mean the ceiling will glow in the dark? [I have no idea why he finds this hilarious and awesome.]

From:

No! It didn't work! And even if it did, it would only glow if there was blood on the ceiling.

From:

...Well I'm sure that wouldn't be too hard to arrange. But we'd have to start eating out at the bazaar on a regular basis.

Why were you cooking chemicals, anyway? Don't you have like...bunsen burners for that?

From:

That's a very creepy thing to say, Lea. Don't forget I'm still part of the Watch.

I have a space at the clinic on Wellspring, but I thought of a breakthrough after I got home tonight and just had to try it. But it was only broken.

From:

[grin~] I just meant that we could prolly borrow Toushi after one of his fights and just smear him on the ceiling. What were you thinking I meant?

Can't win all the time, though. Getting it right on the first try kinda takes all the thrill of the chase out of it.

From:

That is not any better!

This isn't even the first, second or third try.

From:

I guess saying 'try try again' will probably just get me punched. Or possibly injected with strange things. So I guess I'll just say good luck.

Where do you wanna eat? I'm out anyway, I can grab something and bring it home.

From:

Thanks.

You pick. I'm not that hungry after failing again.

From:

Ah, don't be such a pessimist. It's not failing, it's a process of eliminating methods that don't work. [Sorry, Roz; playing with semantics is about as close to consolation as he gets.]

From:

That sounds like you're just moving words around to make me feel better.

From:

Potayto potahto. I'm getting pasta and some kind of breaded chicken stuff from a place I ain't tried yet. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

From:

That sounds okay. Don't forget dessert.

From:

Who do you think you're talking to? Like I would forget dessert...

From:

Just making sure.

From:

Lea.

From:

Oh, what? You should know by now that I'm only serious like .02% of the time...

From:

[She draws an arrow up to his conversation with Rosalind and underlines "we could prolly borrow Toushi after one of his fights and just smear him on the ceiling."]

This, you great--oh, I don't even know.

From:

Why do people only seem to take me seriously when I'm not actually being serious? It's the hair, isn't it.

From:

Of course, being ginger immediately lowers your credibility rating! And since only Kiba is quite as ginger as you are...

I always take you seriously. Even when I shouldn't, yes.

From:

Curses, foiled by my own recessive genes.

[He's amused now.] You know, I seem to recall someone making idle threats about punching me and not going through with it. Come on, Kage, you know I would never smear Toushi on the ceiling without permission. I like Toushi.

From:

Without permission.

From:

[He's actually laughing now.] Don't tell me I have to get permission to hassle him now...

From:

[A sigh and a chuckle, though I think she's not at home right now.]

You two are both impossible.

I'll be home in an hour or so, I had to stay overtime a little.

From:

Incorrigible yes, but surely not impossible. Nothing's impossible. ....Except skiing through a revolving door; I'm pretty sure that's impossible.

Hope you like pasta. Any requests for dessert or shall I just clean out the ice cream aisle again?
