Sleepless in the summer (open)

[Alex Carpenter]

Late night, Alex's online profiles on his chat programs, all linked on the mutant social sites and XU_Net, would show that he was online.

((Open thread, in true brilliant teenage fasion, Alex would make sure that his contact info was pretty easily accessible))

[Haley Crusek]

Hey u

[Alex Carpenter]

Alex took a minute to look at the profile to see who was talking to him, then smiled.

Hey you. What're you doing up so late?

N2m. Jus chillin n stuff. There's no one here to tell me to go to bed, which is pretty cool. Got sent here for the summer so im trying to make the best of it i guess.

[Alex Carpenter]

lol lucky. I tried telling mom that maybe it'd be easier if she sent me earlier. She said oh no, couldn't give up the last family time before I go away to school.

And a second later:

Now ask me how much my family's been home for this 'family time'.

[Haley Crusek]

Sittin at home alone, aren't ya?

[Alex Carpenter]

Yeah, yeah, lucky little Haley gets to be where all the cool kids are.

[Haley Crusek]

pfft whatevs. I've hardly even seen anyone around so far. I need u here for to bs with!

[Alex Carpenter]

Awwww, no one to keep you up late with me gone?

[Haley Crusek]

hell yes. I've hardly met like anyone yet. And no one willing to pass out with me on the couch! either

[Alex Carpenter]

LOL what, no takers? Find that hard to believe.

[Haley Crusek]

believe it! No one here wants to snuggle with an adorable tiny Texan!! So ya...you need to work harder on that getting here thing. Just do what I did and have a power freak out in front of a large crowd of people!!!

[Alex Carpenter]

Ha, what ppl? Maybe if I wreck up the office it'll do the same thing

[Haley Crusek]

]

what people are here and not snuggling with me or what people did I open a can of tk whupass on?! Lol

[Alex Carpenter]

LOL well who needs other people once I get back, right?

But who am I supposed to do a power-screwup in front of? I don't see anyone who's not on TV except... maybe three times a week? lol

[Haley Crusek]

well....I guess the main thing is property damage rather than witnesses. Lol! I just kinda happened to have both.

[Alex Carpenter]

lol a girl who knows how to make a statement, then!

[Haley Crusek]

if u ever wondered, the sound of every window on a house shattering at once is petty loud

[Alex Carpenter]

Remind me never to make you mad, lol

[Haley Crusek]

prolly a good idea. Things tend to break a lot around me when im pissed off lol

[Alex Carpenter]

lol always the cute ones you have to be afraid of, amirite?

[Haley Crusek]

hell ya. Even without my stupid hard to control powers I'll kick people's asses

[Alex Carpenter]

I bow to your fierceness. Be merciful.

[Haley Crusek]

ill think about it lol. I mean. I could probably get stuff out of you if I stay scary

[Alex Carpenter]

I thought scary just made people run away.

[Haley Crusek]

ur still here...

[Alex Carpenter]

Maybe you just aren't good at scary

[Haley Crusek]

i spose I am a lot better at "ridiculously good looking" and humble...ness? English is too damn hard lol

[Alex Carpenter]

That's the spirit, stick to your strengths

[Haley Crusek]

so we need to work on your escape plan. How are you going to gt here sooner and entertain me, cutie?

[Alex Carpenter]

Oh god, I have no idea. Maybe if I just leave, no one will notice.

[Haley Crusek]

we MAY need something a bit better. I'm sure they'd notice and then call the cops and then it's an even bigger mess. If I've learned nothin it's that parents always notice, even if you think they don't or couldn't. 

Hell I snuck out my bedroom window one night in the middle of the night super quiet when only my mom, who doesn't notice anything was home, AND she was asleep and she STILL caught me.

[Alex Carpenter]

Is this where I mention that you're a naughty, naughty girl?

[Haley Crusek]

nah. I'm perfectly innocent. Sweet, and spice n everything nice. You know?

[Alex Carpenter]

Of course you are. Wouldn't be so fun to tease you if you weren't.

[Haley Crusek]

so. I think you need to have one of your blue guys just start to hassle someone on the street. U can be called a public menace and then you can come entertain me in person. Or maybe u could just harass your parents with him and be like "I don't know how to control him. He totes won't go away. Better send me to school!"

[Alex Carpenter]

Problem is my folks are too smart for that. And I can't keep him going all day to keep the story up.

[Haley Crusek]

do they have nice expensive things that really mean nothing to you? You could just have one of your helpers smash the hell out of it then you can still go "I don't know! It happened while I was sleeping! I need to go to school to fix this! Lather, rinse, repeat.

[Alex Carpenter]

I'll keep that idea on backup, but I was sort of hoping for an option that didn't require property damage and my parents pissed off at me, y'know?

[Haley Crusek]

so don't break anything, but still make your powers out of control. I mean, you stay up later than them right? So like have one of your blue guys walk into their room and just like sit at the foot of their bed or stare at them until they wake up. Then be all like "I was asleep what do you want!"
