Comments

No, I haven't.

That's pretty fucking serious though. Hellboy isn't from back home for you two?

[killersong]

nah

honestly I didn't know harls long back home. we kinda
we saved some kid together, killed roman and zsasz and then bitch stole my car

we've been friends ever since

back home she'd been with this psycho joker for ages. they split and thats when I ran into her and saved her drunk ass from a load of wanna be studs looking to nail joker's girl.

[handleyourshit]

I remember about the kid.

If that's not the way to start off a friendship, I don't know what is.

[killersong]

she's great

and im sure she'll be cool with it. ive messaged her anyway

and if not, I guess we could do our own valentines thing? I mean, if you want to?

[handleyourshit]

I would definitely be into that. I haven't done Valentines in - fuck, fifteen years? Give or take?

Do you have anything specific in mind?

[killersong]

ive never done valentines either. last year I was in the zoo. year before I was romans dom

how about your place. candlelit dinner, some rom com we can throw popcorn at, maybe even like, a bath? Bed? See what happens?

[The text is slow to come. She doesn't want to presume and she's really not over Faith but she needs to be and she wants to be and she wants to show Rosita that she appreciates her.]

[handleyourshit]

[So that's a yes, she does.

Thank god it's text - Dinah has someone she wants to get over, Rosita is still working out a whole host of things about connecting with people, and that's a very, very romantic Valentine's Day setup that probably means a lot different things to Dinah than it does to Rosita.

Her reply is slow, too, but:]

I'm down. I'll try to cook, if you promise not to laugh at whatever happens. Stew is typically my specialty these days.

[killersong]

ro i dont even have an oven im still eating slop from the down cafeteria. anything you cook will be amazing

[Honestly? Her idea of Valentines is a whole hodgepodge of rom coms and and situations she's ended up in that she enjoyed. She just wants Ro to loosen up and have fun.]

[handleyourshit]

[Rosita, a child of the 90s, is not immune to that; but she's also spent the last decade and change where the decision to share food with someone else is quite possibly one of life or death.

So. There's some room to grow here, even without touching the oft complicated subject of sex or lack thereof.]

Well it won't be slop, I can guarantee that much or my abuela would walk right out of her grave.

again. probably.

Anyway let me know where and when for the weekend. If the weekend.
