impromtu chat (gretchen and justin)

Molly and Danny were both online last week and decided to chat. There's some good stuff in it, but I'm just going to post my favorite bit because it takes me so long to edit out the weird spaces and times. I think I'm going to do this for all of the chats from now on.

Thanks for the impromptu skyping guys! I hope this fad catches! It's be great if more people chatted on their own time and kept generating material.

Oh, and for the record, the Facebook page is officially out of date. Elliot is dead. For sure.



gretchen
i know. i kinda wish i had known him better

justin
yeah. me too. he was kind of a wacky kid. it would be
interesting to find out what was going on in his head.

gretchen
yeah. i tried talking to him once or twice, but he
never really said much

justin
wouldn't that be a thing, to be able to be someone
else for a little while. like step into their life

gretchen
that'd be weird. i don't know who i'd want to be...

justin
john malkovich, maybe?

gretchen
haha maybe

justin
it would be cool to be someone totally different. like
i'm not saying that i'd always want to be someone
else. but have a life like Indiana Jones or Steve
Irwin. You know, someone who does something exciting.
i want to do something exciting

gretchen
body thief! you'd just go around living other peoples
lives for a day?

justin
well why not? wouldn't you want to do something cool
like that?

gretchen
i suppose. would the people get their bodies back
after? what happens to them when you take over? do
they get your body?

justin
hmm i guess i didn't think about that. maybe you just
disappear into limbo until you're done being that
other person.

gretchen
oooh. interesting. what happens to your body then when
you leave it?

justin
it goes into limbo too and then reappears where you
left it

gretchen
is that possible? a material object (such as your
body) existing in limbo?

justin
sure why not? It's, like stored on an interdimensional
external hardrive until it's needed.

gretchen
hmmm... maybe. limbo with a hardrive... i can see it

justin
well i should probably hit the old dusty trail. you
know i've got to get up early tomorrow and...... i
dunno.... do stuff.

gretchen
alright. if you must.

this reminds me of the fishbowl conversation from rain. it's not about the same topics really, but that tone of guessing and questioning really serves the scene well.
