#32 - [Accidental Video Post/Audio Post]

[totallyinaband]

[The video opens as Stephen's device is resting on his bedside table. There is an unfamiliar woman in a baggy t-shirt and plaid pajama bottoms crashing around the room, muttering to herself. Se leaves the shot for several minutes, and returns wearing a pair of baggy jeans and a plaid shirt. She stops in front of a mirror and peers at the reflection with barely concealed horror. She finally sighs and rams a toque down over her long auburn hair. She whirls around and picks up the device, unaware it's recording. The viewer gets a close up on what may be a familiar face. The feed suddenly switches to audio.]

Seriously? Again? Jesus fucking Christ. I didn't enjoy this last time, City, and I'm not going to today.

[The audio ends with a definite click.]

[ooc: Hey people who may have been around when this happened the first time! Lady!Stephen is back! Replies will be coming from ladyinaband]

You're welcome.

I really hope this isn't going to be for the whole weekend, like that time I turned 15. I need to go into work tomorrow.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Pretty sure the Blue Light would roll with you being a girl for the day. It's kind of a common thing.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

I'm sure they'd roll with it. It's me I'm panicing for.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Stephen, your problem whether you're a girl or a boy is the same: You're too uptight about yourself.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, yeah. Julie used to tell me that a lot, too.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

So...take a hint and try relaxing?

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

I'm working on it. We performed a gig the other day and I didn't even throw up first.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Hey, I'm actually proud of you. Now keep working on it.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Yeah, sure. Maybe there's a 12-step program or something.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I'll have to make one.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Worriers Anonymous?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

That could work.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

You have one member, anyway.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

I think it's better to start small and then expand.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a plan.

Uh, so. I decided I'm telling Neil tomorrow.

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

Good. If he acts like a big dumb poop head I'll break my avoiding him pledge in order to smack him in the back of the head.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

What? Since when are you avoiding Neil?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

[Lucy bites her lip, worrying it between her teeth for a moment. How much to tell Stephen is the question.]

Since...things were moving too...scary and then Rido got all re-interested and it's better with the avoiding.

[Apparently somewhere in the middle is the best]

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Things have been moving with you and Neil?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

[She is giving you her 'are you really that dumb' look.]

We've gone on a couple of dates? I don't know if the second one counts as a date or not. It might.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

When was this happening? I so missed this!

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

The last couple of weeks? I don't know. I try not to count weeks and days and things like that. Maybe I shouldn't tell you. Maybe he's keeping me a secret. Or was.

I'm like a mistress. Without the other woman part.

[ladyinaband.livejournal.com]

Whoa, whoa...

Are you two sleeping with each other?

[mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com]

What whoaing? I am whoaing. Avoiding, remember?

Yeah...once? It was after we went out drinking. I swear I'm pretty sure he was sober enough to make a decent decision and I asked him like at least three times if he was sure he wanted to do it and gave him lots of outs. I swear I didn't rape him.
