[ This is a video post! But you don't actually see the scruffy guy talking this time, aside from maybe parts of mechanical limbs and a trail of cigarette smoke—yeah, some cyborgs can pull of tricky feats like broadcasting what they see with their own artificial retinas. Cool shit. He seems to be looking outside the window—not a whole lot of festive decorations in the street, phew—, so probably nothing interesting here for you guys, which means you're more or less forced to listen. ]

So, Christmas. Doesn't seem to be a big deal in this time and place compared to 21st century America, which I'm actually kinda grateful for. Bigger problems, after all... [ Because wow Christmas sure sucks when your family is dead and you don't have a partner. ] Bet the majority of you don't even know what it's all about. Personally I just care about eggnog right now -- and so should you if you like having something good to drink.

[ Priorities. Adam's downplaying this a lot but he still got a select few people gifts... speaking of gifts. ]

Oh yeah, I think somebody forgot this at my place...

[ And with this, he means a black lace C cup bra, which he's dangling in front of his own eyes. ]

Unless this is supposed to be a gift. I'm not sure what to do with it. Might wanna come here and pick it up before I get rid of it or give it to someone else -- it being Christmas and all.

[ Adam sounds remarkably indifferent despite the implications. He's so gonna get spanked for this and that's actually exactly what he wants AHEM. Anyway, there's a private text message tacked onto this later—for Vanadi. ]

You too.

[ Yeah, just that. ]


(( ooc: also, linking Adam's CASIE permissions post again c: ))

[ Well then let him know its your birthday, gosh, he can't read minds. ]

Why? You're about sixteen, right? I was dating one girl after the other at that age.

[whatsupcroc]

( No she's just delivering a milkshake maker today okay that's how it rolls [she told Miles on Adam's encryption that's probably the most straightforward that's gonna get]. Next to... what she types back.

Also avoid topic get! )

As of today, yeah. But ha! I should have known! You totally seem like the type.

[neveraskedforthis]

[ oh my well adam cant be watching the network all day every day... ]

I'm actually mildly offended now. The last ten years, I've dated exactly one (1) girl. The time when my hormones were getting the better of me doesn't count.

And really? It's your birthday today? You're pulling my leg.

[whatsupcroc]

( You mean it's not possible? Preposterous! Preposterously true. )

So your hormones finally calmed down when you were what, 40? :P

Nope! December 24th, 1982. Close to midnight, so I was almost a Christmas Day baby.

[neveraskedforthis]

When I hit twenty. And careful there, by the looks of it, you're actually over ten years older than me, at least chronologically--1993 here.

Happy Birthday. You're an old woman now.

[whatsupcroc]

Just think, in some universe I could be your babysitter! That's the case with like, all the adults I know. Miles, Barnaby, you... toss in different worlds and everything and then who even knows!

Thank you! Should I pester the hospital for an accompanying nurse yet? I might be getting too old to wheel myself around. I wonder if they have any nice, young male nurses standing around with nothing much to do...

Also if I have to wait four years this is going to be the most disappointingly long four years of waiting for people actually my age to have an attention span longer than five minutes.

[neveraskedforthis]

Sorry, guess you're out of luck. Boys will be boys. Alternatively, no one said you had to date someone that's your age.

...Though again, I guess you're out of luck there, since I'm not into teenagers. Sorry, Collette.

[whatsupcroc]

( Nothing personal, Adam, but part of her went GROSS first because she's just that mature ok ok. )

Ouch! Turned down before I could even think to ask! You're a cruel man, Mr. Jensen, I don't know if I'll ever recover!

You're so silly.

[neveraskedforthis]

[ trolling: successful. it's a good haul for adam today. ]

No need to get defensive. I'm sure you'll find the right guy someday, though it's doubtful he'll measure up to me when it comes to looks and a good sense of humor, in any case.

[whatsupcroc]

We all need some impossibly high standard to strive after!

[neveraskedforthis]

Except me, of course.

[ god he's eaten the sass today ]

[whatsupcroc]

No wonder you're so bored all the time!
