#32 - [Accidental Video Post/Audio Post]

[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

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

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

So...take a hint and try relaxing?

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

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

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

I'll have to make one.

Worriers Anonymous?

That could work.

You have one member, anyway.

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

Sounds like a plan.

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

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.

What? Since when are you avoiding Neil?

[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]

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

Things have been moving with you and Neil?

[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.

When was this happening? I so missed this!

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.

Whoa, whoa...

Are you two sleeping with each other?

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.

I wouldn't... assume you did?

Jesus, was this when I was gone? Or am I just ridiculously out of the loop, here?

It might have been while you were gone. He was sad because he didn't think a girl was ever going to want to go out with him? It was a curse thing. Or the talking about it thing was.
