.lace up your shoes

[.xander;;]

well, that was unexpected.

unexpected maybe, but not impossible. the patient thought for a moment, trying to figure out something that would be acceptable to katze.

first, i would drink a 100oz milkshake. then i would scratch you behind the ears. (don't do that.) you would probably whine about how hard it is being a monster. i would take pity on your poor, lost soul and say that i believed you. you would squeal with joy because someone finally believed you. i would give you a bone to chew on because you'd love chewing on bones. you'd be an animal like that.

okay, but i was serious about the milkshake part.

joking wasn't really xander. maybe it was caleb once upon a time, but caleb was dead. and xander was in a very strange mood.

[lynx]

Raizes his brows as he read through this, quite amused at most of it. "Ahh... Well... " He paused, trying to think of another senario. That response was better than he thouht. "...What ifyou were... Either Stan or Dan?"

H was builsing up to like, him being Julie or something like that.

[.xander;;]

oh, this would be fun. a grin threatened to upturn the corners of xander's mouth as he restrained himself from looking up at stan and wrote another response.

i would start my day off by cracking about five eggs on my forehead and eating them raw. i would probably have furniture made of punching bags that i would hit to take out my innermost anger. i would check to make sure i wasn't my brother before i came to work, where i would use my high risk patient as a punching bag away from home.

Lynx actually giggled a little at that one, putting a hand over his face to stop the majority of the happy sound from going past his lips. His entire body shook in his laughing, and soon calmed himself down. "F-funny, b..." Okay, fine, it was a little inappropriate but of course it made him giggle like hell.

"Ahh... Well, what if you were... that girl you've been around, Lucy I believe? Nicknamed 'Poe'?" This one was building further and further to his goal.

[.xander;;]

that one was a little unexpected. but hey. this was kind of fun. and besides. miracle-mood remember? btw stan didn't even get offended at any of that. was that a smile poking at the corners of his mouth?!

i would refuse to eat breakfast. then i'd read the raven. refuse to eat lunch. read the cask of amontillado. refuse to eat dinner. read the pit and the pendulum. then some crazy mute guy who went by his lame last name would force me to eat a piece of toast or something so that i wouldn't die while i was sleeping.

[lynx]

That was an interesting viewpoint of himself through another's eyes. Ponder a moment more, tilting his head. "Hmmm... Well, what if you were... the Warden of this nice institution? What would you do then?"

Ah, he'd like to see what he thought about the overseer of this 'hellhole'.

[.xander;;]

okay, that was just asking for it. okay xander keep your cool. you can do it dude. remember how great you feel today. yeah. be nice. someone might be recording this.

haha, fuck that.

i would never sleep. because i would be a vampire, you see. an evil, sadistic vampire that fed on people's souls. i'd use every waking moment to devise new ways to torture the inhabitants of my city. i would love making people miserable. but really all my anger and cruelty would just be the result of a tragic childhood and my horrible self esteem.

wow, xander. harsh.

[lynx]

Lynx laughed a little at that, and looked at the other for a minute, calming himself down completely. He pondered a moment.

"What if you were... Dan, what would you do, hm?" He was curious about that, smiling a bit, but not going to mention that he'd been with the other's security guard for coffee meets lately.

[.xander;;]

well, in all honesty, xander couldn't think of anything he'd do differently as dan than he would as stan. except maybe be a little more pissed off in general. dan had a nasty temper.

probably the same as if i were stan, he wrote. just a little meaner, that's all.

lynx was starting to go around in circles with this hypothetical situation thing.

[lynx]

Oh good, Xander knew nothing. Yet, the grin faded.

He was hesitant to ask this of the other, and gulped for a moment.

"What if you were Julie?"

Oh boy, he said it! He said it! Now this wasn't going to be a good ending for the session, was it?
