I9DT - Gamer Girl (Open)

[Theresa McMasters]

"Thoughts of dating?" Theresa teased.

[Brigid Plunder]

"Maybe? I mean, he's pretty nice."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Hey, if he sparks your engine, go for it."

[Brigid Plunder]

"That sounds kind of dirty," she laughed.

[Theresa McMasters]

"Hey, as long as you're careful, no reason that can't be a part of things as well," she smirked. "But I wouldn't advise leading off with that."

[Brigid Plunder]

"Yeah, there is no way I'm ready for that. I mean, yeesh. Most of what I know about normal guys is from movies."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Most definitely wouldn't lead off with that then," she said with a laugh. "You really need to get to know someone before that's a good option."

[Brigid Plunder]

"Yeah. I think I'm just going to get used to being around normal kids before I seriously think of anything more."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Excellent place to start," she said, glancing back at her other screen and then back at the camera.

[Brigid Plunder]

"Are you or the gribblies winning?"

[Theresa McMasters]

"I'm winning, handily. The mechanics aren't terribly complicated or really anything I haven't done already. In fact, I don't think it's different enough from my current game to warrant any more of my time." She gave several keystrokes and a few mouseclicks and turned her attention fully back to the camera.

[Brigid Plunder]

"Okay. Didn't know if you needed a second to slay the Dire Gribblemaster or whatever."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Nah. So how's Mr. Stampy?"

[Brigid Plunder]

"Kind of needy. He looks for shelter more during the dark season, and I think he missed me when I was at orientation."

[Theresa McMasters]

"How's he going to handle you being gone for school?"

[Brigid Plunder]

"Hopefully a little better. I think this was just the first time I'd really been gone."

[Theresa McMasters]

"I suppose that'd be hard on him if he's used to having you around."

[Brigid Plunder]

"Yeah, he's known me a long time. Still, it's got to happen."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Since you don't want to live there the rest of your life, it does."

[Brigid Plunder]

"Yeah, and bringing him with me just isn't an option."

[Theresa McMasters]

"I'm sure the plant life at the Institute will thank you for not bringing him."

[Brigid Plunder]

"Not like he'd even fit on the Quinjet."

[Theresa McMasters]

"You'd have to fly him cargo."

[Brigid Plunder]

"I think there's an awful movie or three about that."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Thankfully none of them named 'Dinosaurs on a Plane'."

[Brigid Plunder]

"No, no, but wasn't there that 'Dumbo Drop' movie?"

[Theresa McMasters]

"Yeah, that was before I was born though."

[Brigid Plunder]

"You see a lot of old, bad movies when you're trying to figure out how to be a normal girl."

[Theresa McMasters]

"You seem to have figured it out okay."

[Brigid Plunder]

"Just kind of faking it until I make it, really. Even saying that's a horrible cliche."

[Theresa McMasters]

"Well you're a decent fake then... wait that doesn't sound right."

[Brigid Plunder]

"We'll see come fall, huh?"

[Theresa McMasters]

"I suppose we will."
