Maybe it is. Maybe you’re the bad boy from the other side of the tracks who’s convincing me to change my ways.

…or is it the good cop…

Re: 240

[takeyoutochurch]

I should absolutely be the good cop.

Re: 240

[endsjustified]

Fine. The good cop and the world-weary war criminal.

…

No, that doesn’t match at all. Bar criminal.

Re: 240

[takeyoutochurch]

Good cop and the shady bartender that might or might not be a world-weary war criminal.

The war criminal part sounds new though. When'd ya learn that one?

Re: 240

[endsjustified]

I did just give you a rundown of shocking content warnings for my visions.

Re: 240

[takeyoutochurch]

Yeah, but "war criminal" sounds normal.

Re: 240

[endsjustified]

Sadly not.

[a little shrug]

I think the wars over in that vision world were, as the kids say, built different.

Re: 240

[takeyoutochurch]

Don't say that phrase again, old man.

Re: 240

[endsjustified]

[makes direct eye contact and enunciates perfectly:]

Built different.

[pinches his cheek]

I just got goosebumps all over.

[snickers and swats his hand a little]

It’s not that outrageous. If I really wanted to offend your ears I’d ask miss Jem to teach me more wildly youthful slang than that.

Re: 240

[takeyoutochurch]

Don't use Jem against me like that.

Re: 240

[endsjustified]

Who’s using who? I’m simply making use of the education given me by a lovely young woman.

Re: 240

[takeyoutochurch]

If yer askin' her to tell ya that silly slang that's draggin' her into it! I bet she'd cry hearin' it come outta yer mouth too.

Re: 240

[endsjustified]

Actually, she used it on me unprompted and I asked her what it meant.

Re: 240

[takeyoutochurch]

[Jem what is this betrayal]

She's finally usin' her powers for evil, huh...

Re: 240

I think it’s cute. Young people say the darndest things.

[straightfaced]

[pokes his cheek]

I was jokin' with the old man comment. If I start callin' ya old then I gotta call myself old too, and I ain't quite ready for that. Ya just got a face that looks straight out of a Victorian romance novel. Watchin' slang come outta that mouth is a crime against humanity.

Re: 240

[endsjustified]

I can talk dirty with this face but I can’t use slang…? What a strange standard.

Re: 240

[takeyoutochurch]

It ain't that hard to figure out. Yer cute when ya talk dirty.

Re: 240

[endsjustified]

And I am creepy when I use slang.

[in a ‘have I got this right’ tone]

Re: 240

[takeyoutochurch]

[very seriously:]

It doesn't suit yer face.

Re: 240

[endsjustified]

I ought to try mixing the two and see where on the side of the line your libido falls.

Re: 240

[takeyoutochurch]

[tightens the arm around Frost's shoulders until it's around his neck instead, threatening a chokehold]

Just try it.
