DT10 - Christie's Room

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 10:36 pm

It was a while later that Alex started knocking on Christie's door, looking very nervous and anxious.

by **Christine Bowen** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 11:39 pm

"Hey Alex, come on in. Whats up?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 11:53 pm

"Yeah, so, I just asked Brigid on a date, and I have no clue what's good to take someone to in town," he said.

by **Christine Bowen** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 11:53 pm

"......did she headbutt you?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 11:54 pm

"I- what!? Of course not!"

by **Christine Bowen** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 11:58 pm

"Hey, its a legitimate question."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 12:00 am

"I wouldn't be asking her out if she was freaking attacking me. I'm not a complete idiot..."

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 12:09 am

"Hey, dudes can be abused to." Christie said "so I thought I'd ask."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 12:13 am

"Well, not this dude. The hell with that," Alex reassured her. "But... yeah, you know the town. Where's a good place to take her to eat?"

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 12:42 pm

"What kind of food does she like?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Fri Apr 27, 2012 3:47 pm

"Don't know," he admitted. "She's never exactly had a lot of chance to sample around."

by **Christine Bowen** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 3:30 pm

"Pizza is always a safe bet."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 3:43 pm

"Really?" Alex said, sounding a little relieved as he thought it over. "Are there any really good pizza places in town? Probably be a good idea if they have other stuff to eat just in case, but... y'know, not necessary. Just would be nice."

by **Christine Bowen** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 11:03 pm

"There are a couple." Christie said "But I'm a big fan of Mama's. Their calzones are really good too, if you don't want to go for pizza."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 11:12 pm

Alex nodded, trying to calm down. "Right. Right. Go for pizza," he said, taking a deep breath. "Shit, this stuff wasn't so much stress when I was worried about getting headbutted..."

by **Christine Bowen** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 11:22 pm

"Its just a date." Christie said "It isn't that big of a deal....Who could be calling?" she said, as her computer started beeping.

by **Stan Bowen** » Sat Apr 28, 2012 11:55 pm

Christie's computer began beeping, with an I dictation Her father was calling.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:01 am

Alex shrugged. "Need me to get lost?"

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:01 am

"Awesome timing, Dad." Christie muttered as she opened her computer.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:03 am

"Shit," he said, "So in other words 'yes,' then."

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:05 am

Stan appeared, with a big smile.

"Hi honey! Is it a good time?" he asked, eagerly.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:07 am

Fuck! Way to give me time to clear out! Alex thought as he tried to scoot well out of camera range.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:15 am

"Its an awesome time." Christie said, "Alex was just leaving. Anyway." she smiled "Whats up?"

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:21 am

Stan's eyes narrowed a good degree as he saw the really noticeable mark on her neck.

"I.. I wanted to introduce you to your new brother," he said, regaining his smile, and adjusting the webcam to a view of Amanda and Joe.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:31 am

"Hey, little guy." Christie said, unable to resist, the baby cuteness "He's really cute, Dad." she said, sounding a little surprised.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:39 am

Alex, meanwhile, crept out the door, not looking guilty at ALL.

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:41 am

"Well, I thought a little happiness would be just the thing to turn the corner on the past few days." Stan said, warmly.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun Apr 29, 2012 12:48 am

"Yeah, its good to know that life goes on." Christie replied

by **Stan Bowen** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 7:37 pm

"See that pretty girl, Joe? that's your sister, yes she is!"

Stan had embarrassingly switched gears to baby speak, it seemed. Joe looked at Christy for a brief moment, before gurgling and drooling happily.

by **Christine Bowen** » Mon Apr 30, 2012 11:44 pm

"And the weird old guy is your Daddy!" Christie said, her tone a tiny bit teasing, but not hostile.

by **Stan Bowen** » Tue May 01, 2012 7:13 pm

After a few more minutes, Stan handed Joe back to his mother, and put himself back in the camera view.

"Are things getting back to normal?" he asked.

by **Christine Bowen** » Wed May 02, 2012 1:40 am

"As normal as it gets around here."

by **Stan Bowen** » Wed May 02, 2012 8:14 pm

"making new friends, I see."

he seemed to be eying the hickey, if only for a passing moment.

by **Christine Bowen** » Wed May 02, 2012 10:35 pm

"Yeah, Alex and I have really hit it off." Christie said, pulling her hair over to cover the hickey. Which, coincidentally, called attention to it. Coincidentally.

by **Stan Bowen** » Thu May 03, 2012 8:22 pm

Stan grunted almost inaudibly, making a note to tear open the family history of this Alex Carpenter kid.

"He looks.. Coherent."

by **Christine Bowen** » Fri May 04, 2012 1:38 pm

"Yeah, he's really awesome. And sweet. He's just transferred here, so I've been showing him around."

by **Stan Bowen** » Sat May 05, 2012 7:38 pm

"Showing him around?" Stan repeated, arching an eyebrow.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun May 06, 2012 12:39 am

"There are lots of fun things to do in Salem." Christie replied, sounding a bit smug.

by **Stan Bowen** » Sun May 06, 2012 1:40 am

"So, tell me about him. Where's he from. What are his mutant abilities."

Stan repeated them with a bit of coldness.

by **Christine Bowen** » Sun May 06, 2012 2:22 am

"He's from Philadelphia. He can make a avatar out of energy and control it." Christie said "He's an only child, his mom is a lawyer. His parents are both vanilla-human, but both of his uncles are mutants. They're both telepaths, and well, you know what Cassiel's abilities are like."
