I12: Body issues or no body issues

[Roland Sackville]

"Good plan."

[Haley Crusek]

"I thought so," she smirked.

"Why don't you recommend? Have you drunk antifreeze before?"

[Roland Sackville]

"No, but...

Have you ever been hungry? I don't mean haven't had a snack yet, I mean truly hungry."

[Haley Crusek]

"Well...sure I guess? Unless you mean like...starving. Really starving."

[Roland Sackville]

"Yeah. That point.

And the nice thing for most people is, eventually -- they die. There's an end to it getting worse and worse.

Do you know how hungry you can get when you can't eat -- and you can't die?"

[Haley Crusek]

"....Jesus." was all Haley managed to get out.

[Roland Sackville]

"So, yeah. Don't do that, either."

[Haley Crusek]

"Uh...any...thoughts on what I *should* do?"

[Roland Sackville]

"What do you mean by that?" Roland asked, raising an eyebrow.

[Haley Crusek]

"Well so far you've given me a lot of 'I've tried this and it sucks' sort of advice. Made me wonder if there is anything that really is worth trying."

[Roland Sackville]

"Oh, everything is worth trying once. Hard to come up with a list for a week -- and make no mistake, I'm expecting to have that body back in a week.

The hardest part of living forever is the fact that you've done everything. You always have to be on the move, and in the mood to try things, no matter how stupid they may seem. Otherwise, the lack of inertia kills you. Metaphorically speaking."

[Haley Crusek]

"God I hope it's only a week...but I guess we should make the best of it. So...thanks for helping my body work out more?"

[Roland Sackville]

"I'll try to not lose your figure over the next few days."

[Haley Crusek]

"Like I said, thanks--you're already working out more than I normally do."

[Roland Sackville]

"I suppose you'd be welcome to join me on my morning runs if you'd like, though I imagine they start a bit earlier than you're used to, and I don't have the youtubes and eight-tracks and what not to keep you entertained."

[Haley Crusek]

...the hell is an 8-track?

"Well...sure. I'll go. We traded phones already so I can zone out with some music. You just may have to call me to make sure I'm up" she smirked.

[Roland Sackville]

"We'll consider it a date, then."

[Haley Crusek]

"Okay," she smirked. "I won't tell Cal if you won't."

eewwewwww don't even joke about that

[Roland Sackville]

"My lips are sealed."

[Haley Crusek]

"In the mean time...keep showing me how to kick ass without my powers..." She smirked.

((And scene?))
