hey

thanks for lunch the other day

[mediumclever]

[ who are you and what have you done with Jace? but also maybe a teeny bit #senpainoticedme ]

Guy's got to eat, right? Next time's on you. But just so you know, I don't put out for anything less than 'I have to put this on my American Express.'

[derision]

uh huh that's assuming there'll be a next time

[ No, there will definitely be a next time. ]

[mediumclever]

You texted me. I'm assuming.

[derision]

Fine, fine

None of this American Express business, however

I haven't got one of those

[ Maybe Jace is related to Drax in some way ... ]

[mediumclever]

How've you been paying for everything?

[derision]

Money

Like everyone else

[ Definitely related to Drax. ]

[mediumclever]

Didn't they give you a card when you arrived?

[derision]

They might have, I haven't checked

Is that what you have? An American Express?

[mediumclever]

It's a type of credit card back home. More often than not reserved for shopaholics and business executives.

[ why does he bother....? ]

Doesn't matter. I'm pretty sure we're all throwing Love Bucks around anyway, as fast as we can generate them.

[derision]

Are we now?

The whole currency of this place baffles me a little. I haven't really investigated it, honestly. Most of what I buy is relatively cheap.

[ Besides which, Jace has never worried about money ever. It's just not a thing he prioritizes at all? ]

[mediumclever]

I'm trying not to investigate it. If the electricity comes from getting a little handsy, I can only imagine what magical explanation is behind everything else.

But enough about economics. Everything good with you?

[derision]

Well I can't complain

The amenities are fine, the food is satisfactory, I'm not exactly bored or anything

Why?

[steled]

I think I miss dating.

[ help, simon. s.o.s. ]

text.

[mediumclever]

Here's a thought: Have Jace take you somewhere nice. And by nice, you should probably clarify nowhere dank, dark or dangerous.

[ because by dating he defaults to thinking going on dates, not being in a relationship. he assumes she's still in one, regardless of the gloomy cloud that's been hanging over her head. ]

[ the following comes sometime after his conversation with Harry. A casual kind of distance. She's chill here. ]

so.
why the curiosity about sexy costumes?

text ;

[mediumclever]

Have you seen my legs? These are legs that need to be shown off.

[nolessthanseven]

via naughty pumpkin spice latte?
hot

[mediumclever]

I was leaning towards Sexy Librarian. I already I know I can rock glasses.

[nolessthanseven]

ooh, even better
does that one involve a little pencil skirt and heels?

[mediumclever]

What do you take me for, some kind of amateur?

[nolessthanseven]

nah, I'm pretty sure you've got all of this figured right out

[ a moment later: ]

you think this place is going to have a big party?

[mediumclever]

Down to the stockings.

[ huh, she bought it. ]

Probably. It seems like they're always celebrating something around here.

[nolessthanseven]

[ that's what you think, Simon. ]

what else are you going to do in a city where people are constantly supposed to be meeting and hooking up? it's easier
what should I go as?

[mediumclever]

Point taken.

I was thinking you could take my idea. It would be a tragedy for me, but I think on my feet. I'm sure I could come up with another costume for myself.

[nolessthanseven]

you've got way more experience with this than I do anyway. you'll be fine!
so sexy librarian for me
what about sexy policeman for you?

[mediumclever]

You're the boss. I mean, in this scenario, I'm probably the boss. A night stick wielding boss.

[nolessthanseven]

sexy security officer working in the library, here to defend the poor librarian from a noise she heard in one of the aisles
talk about swooning

[mediumclever]

Stay close to me, ma'am. I promise nothing bad will happen to you on my watch.

[ what is happening? ]

I'm totally prepared for your fascination with uniforms.

[nolessthanseven]

[ roleplaying. ]

I feel so safe, you don't even know
and I love uniforms. there's no explanation why. I just do

[mediumclever]

[ lord montgomery has turned into officer montgomery. ]

It's like guys and school uniform skirts. Say no more. No explanation necessary.

[nolessthanseven]

[ it's a good look for him. ]

that explains, like, everything that I see at work
guys are kind of weird

[mediumclever]

No, we're particular.

[nolessthanseven]

that's adorable. never change :P

[mediumclever]

It's in the same vein of girls being programmed to like leather jackets, motorcycles and guys that don't care about anything.

[ and yet, Isabelle chose him. ]

[nolessthanseven]

[ she might have gotten tired of guys that don't care about anything. ]

ooh, you might have a point
do you have a leather jacket anywhere?
:D

[mediumclever]

Yes.

And if, by chance, what I actually mean is no? I can get one.

[nolessthanseven]

[ all he gets in response to that is a selfie of Izzy looking quite pleased about that notion. It's the pre-ravishing face. ]

delivery;

[coy]

[ this basket FILLED with baked goods is left on his door step with a quick note wishing him a happy holiday and saying that she'd like to see him soon. ]
