The X-Project

Eee! Forge's daddy! Will we have to call you by your first name while he's here? Oh! Ohoh! May I meet him? I'll be all polite and attractive and shake his hand and tell him how awesome you are etc.!

What do you say?

From:

Avoid him if at all possible? I'm going to try and just get him in, show him around, and get him back to the airport as soon as possible.

He'll use my first name enough for my preferences. And my middle one. It's like I'm constantly in trouble.

From:

Meanie. I would have worn a skirt, even.

Oh, your daddy sounds like a right charmer he does. How'd you turn out so swell, huh?

From:

He's not a charmer, he's a lawyer. I'm not even sure he has blood flow. He wants to, and I quote, "See how everything's coming along and that you're doing well". Which is kind of significant, since that'd be a first in, oh, about sixteen years.

I wouldn't tell you not to wear a skirt, by any means.

From:

Oh. He's one of those kinds of parents. Hm. Then perhaps we could pull a CSI and make it so that one of his tires goes flat far enough away from the mansion that he won't call us for help but close enough that he's no where near the city and will have to either change the tire himself, ruining his very fine suit, or wait for hours until someone comes to help.

Well, there's not point wearing a skirt if I don't have to look pretty and professional.

From:

oh, wow. that's really...um...great? well, it'd be great to me, I guess, if someone came to visit.

You said he was Cheyenne, right? from the rez or not?

a lawyer?

From:

Oh god no. Whatever you do, don't bring up the reservation. I know he grew up on the Montana reservation and left when he was sixteen. I think there's some serious bad blood there.

Yeah, corporate lawyer for an aeronautics firm. It's a living, I suppose.

From:

then he's Northern Cheyenne, which is slightly different. not that different, but a little. they have a college there.

a LAWYER?...wow, no wonder you are smart. aeronautics?

From:

Catseye has never tried to do any of those things.

From:

hmm...we should do something. not anything he listed.

From:

Catseye thinks maybe this visit is important to ShinyBitsBoy...

From:

This visit being over will be quite important. My father and I don't exactly ... well, we don't talk a lot.

From:

Then why is ShinyBitsBoy upset that his father is coming over to talk to him, then? Would ShinyBitsBoy rather he stay away?

From:

Because he doesn't exactly have a track record of approving of anything I've been interested in for, like, ever.

From:

yes. which is why we should do something special for him.

From:

Catseye cannot cook like PregnantGirl can. Or play pretty nice person like ManySkinsGirl can.

From:

you can help me cook. but I wasn't really thinking cooking. and you can be nice like Paige if you tried. you're nice now too, but you're nice like you.

From:

Catseye will be Catseye, and that will be that. :)

From:

Even better. :)

Where are you hiding yourself by the way, kitty? I'm wearing black pants and I haven't seen you all day! This must be against every force of nature ever.

I'll be good.

But, er, if I should run into him as a wolf, please don't be offended if I do not change far enough to speak. I'm not so sure about the transitional form in formal situations.

From:

I have a hard time imagining you NOT being good. But yeah, I'm not sure how he's going to handle the obvious mutants among us. Not really something that you've got to deal with back home so much. In person, anyway.

Papa Forge, huh? I guess that means I should stay dressed in the suite, then.

From:

I will duct tape you and Kyle together and drop you in a very deep, very dark hole.

On second thought - no, screw that. You go with how you're comfortable, Jay. If he's got a problem with it, to hell with him.

From:

in that case, I say Jay and I should have a naked party.

From:

Forget my dad, that'd be enough to make ME freak out, thank you very much.

From:

you saying I'm fat again?

From:

No, I'm saying naked anyone weirds me out. Don't take it personal.

From:

that's cool.

clothes are sucking.

Well, I was more talking about not wearing my shirt because wings + shirt = irritating. I don't like making other people uncomfortable, though. I'll stay clear if he's got issues with me and my lifestyle.
