Aha.

[fullmoon]

Aha?

[alsohawkeye]

Aha: you met Johanna, that explains it. You two are trying to figure out why I have anything to do with her and what it says about me that I do.

[fullmoon]

I thought she was sort of sweet.

[alsohawkeye]

hahahahahaha

Look, I know she's a total bitch and I'm sorry if she threatened to maim or kill you in some sort of gross and vicious way. She's not always that bad once you get to know her.

[fullmoon]

I'm serious.
She reminded me of a hedgehog.
Spikes, soft underbelly.

[alsohawkeye]

What on earth gave you that impression?

[doggedly]

is it a holiday

[alsohawkeye]

Not that I know of. Can I get some context here?

[doggedly]

why would people choose itfor a date if its not got significance
& more than one

[alsohawkeye]

Choose it for a date for what?

[doggedly]

a date for a date

[alsohawkeye]

Wait, did you ask them to describe the perfect date? And they said it's not too hot and not too cold and all you need is a light jacket?

[doggedly]

[a pause to check his own wording]

'22) describe your perfect date'

never mind pausing, I'll circle back instead

[fullmoon]

Sirius wants me to ask if you'd marry her.

[alsohawkeye]

Is she going to literally die or the world end if I don't? Am I allowed to get it annulled immediately after she and/or the world are safe again? Also has she had some sort of personality transplant in which this would even be an option?

[alsohawkeye]

It's a quote from a movie. Someone asks a girl in a beauty pageant to describe her perfect date and because she is sweet but dumb she replies that it's April 25th because it's not too hot, not too cold, and all you need is a light jacket.

[fullmoon]

[fullmoon]

Did you laugh before you wrote any of that?

[alsohawkeye]

Does incredulous scoffing count?

[fullmoon]

Depends on whether or not you want Sirius to get 10 points.

[alsohawkeye]

I might have laughed, I might not. You both lose.

[fullmoon]

Fair enough.

For what it's worth, I like her.

[ Kind of. ]

[alsohawkeye]

[ Kate so intensely skeptical. ]

Did you sleep with her?

[fullmoon]

I don't sleep with people.

[ Let him ignore his mistakes, Kate. Be a pal. ]

I talked to her.
I thought she might bite me at any moment.
I can relate, you know.
