chat #4 - gretchen and justin

ty and molly found some fun stuff with justin and gretchen on sunday night. ideas for these two characters in the future???? i like that most of this could easily be a scene between them in person. nice stuff!!

FYI -- Next chat is WEDNESDAY 10-midnight!!!


justin ok, i'm here now

gretchen yay!

justin how are you tonight?

gretchen i'm pretty good. how are you?

justin same as always. a bit unsure, a bit relaxed, a bit worried (about others)

gretchen who are you worried about?

justin well, sam for one. but that's always. more presently, you know- what my parents are gonna say when i tell them about college and such. what sam will say, especially considering how he is now, etc.
justin how he is now about school, that is
justin you know, the all-encompassing everythings of life

gretchen you still haven't told him? or your parents? you have to soon. you can't keep lying to them

justin it's not lying, is it? when it's just temporary, i mean.

gretchen it's still lying. "not telling the full truth" is still lying
gretchen even if it's temportary
gretchen *temporary

justin well, i won't keep temportarally lying for much longer
justin *temporarily
justin ;)
justin anyways, i plan to make the big announcement any day now

gretchen well i hope so.... can i be there to see their reactions.
gretchen btw... you're a jerk

justin haha, just kidding beautiful

gretchen i guess i can forgive you
gretchen ) you called me beautiful. i love you

justin i'm just telling it like it is

gretchen awe

justin whose reactions were you hoping to see?

gretchen your parents... and sams. everyones!

justin it's going to cost you a leg and an arm for all those front-row tickets you know

gretchen it's worth it

justin anyhow, i'm not sure how safe it will be when i break it to the folks

justin things might explode

gretchen i'll use you as a shield. you can take the bulk of the blow

justin ha ha

gretchen what, you think i'm joking?
gretchen your parents will freak. i don't wanna get hit by any of that

justin that's why it won't be safe

gretchen which is why i'll hide behind you! and maybe i'll wear safety goggles and a bullet proof vest. and stand feet back. at least

justin at least.
justin but suppose the blast doth tear me limb from limb, good lady?

gretchen probably be more like . wait, where do you plan to tell them? i want to know how much space i have
gretchen than i'll give you a vest too
gretchen and goggles

justin oh, well sweet.

gretchen ;)

justin i'll make sure it's somewhere open, like a field or something.

gretchen good. maybe you should tell them over a megaphone. so the explosion won't hit you...as easily

justin for sam, on the other hand, we'll just need a small room that we can run out of an lock after i tell him. that way he can just burst from sheer confusion and we'll be safe from the splatter
justin perhaps. i'm not sure what the megaphone prices are these days

gretchen haha! I love it.
gretchen does it matter how much they are? it's your life we're talking about

justin i suppose. i'll need to scrape together what little i have left of my graduation money. and maybe take out a loan, depending on the price senario.
incidentally, that's another reason why i need to tell the parental unit soon- not much dinero left, you know?

gretchen i'lll help chip in. i'm as worried about your life as you are.
gretchen how did you plan to pay tuition?

justin well, my parents were mostly going to cover it. and i have some in an account, but that won't last forever
justin but i dont see my parents being willing to financially report their wayward son

gretchen no. neither do i. well, at least you've got more money now than you would have had you gone to university

justin i suppose. i'll need to get a job or something i guess eventually. i'm not exactly down with that either, though. but what else am i gonna do?
justin i don't know. i guess i need to figure out what i'm going to do if school isn't going to be it.

gretchen pick dandilions? i'm sure someone will pay you to clear out their yard...

justin hey, those dandelions rocked
justin there were so many

gretchen i agree. i loved them

justin think of how many dandelions i could get if i cleared out people's yards all the time? a bazillion, i bet

gretchen you should knock on doors and ask people. then i could decorate my room...

justin let's run away together and pick dandelions for the rest of our lives

gretchen okay
gretchen )

justin enough about me. how was your day?

gretchen oh, okay. Lisa's mad at me again. not even about anything specific. she was just in one of those moods. but other than that....my classes were good. i came right home after school. did homework... i found a new band! their called "the buggles"
gretchen that' s the extent of my exciting day

justin the buggles, eh?
justin what type of noise do they make?

gretchen they sing video killed the radio star.
gretchen i don't even know what genre it would be

justin oh, them. s pre-pop?
justin is lisa's attitude anything to worry about? or is it one of those things that passes like the weather?

gretchen sounds about right.
gretchen yeah, like the weather
gretchen she'll be back to normal tommorrow

justin good to hear. do you ever get tired of that kind of treatment, though?

gretchen oh all the time. but you get used to it. i basically just ignore her on those days.
gretchen and think of you

justin aw

gretchen it's the only thinkg that gets me through bad days
gretchen not that today was a bad day... but you always help make a day better

justin )

gretchen D

justin i know what you mean. think you maybe could be around for after i tell my parents?

gretchen sure. just remember everything that happens and tell it to me word for word. explosions and all

justin of course i will.
justin thanks

gretchen you're welcome.
gretchen now, if you don't mind. i need to go to bed. i have school tommorrow. and so do you ;)

justin haha, right.
justin well, goodnight. perhaps i shall call on you tomorrow, if your schedule permits?

gretchen please do. i'll be home at four
gretchen pm
gretchen not am
gretchen that would be dumb

justin yes, yes it would. four am calls are generally avoided

gretchen generally. but if it was you calling i probably wouldn't mind...

justin i'll remember that.
justin goodnight! i love you

gretchen but not too often
gretchen night! i love you too.
