"Who to the what now?" MC blinked. "Oh, I'm not going to be sleeping with anyone. I own the soul of one very handsome Mike Rogers back home and goddamnit I am getting my diamond when I get back. I'm not about to wreck that here." She pauses. "Provided he doesn't give up on me. Also, it'd be tacky to sleep with someone my sister slept with. Tacky is not something I do."

	Vernique laughs. "Thank you. I just had to say it, because .. well, I'll have to tell you about Valentine's Day later. adding to the set would just get ridiculous. You okay with heading out now, or do you need to get anything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't have anything to get. This is pretty much it. I had just been on my way out when we got summoned." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"All right. Let's head out." And as they walk along. "Hal, by the way, is a sweet, sweet guy who doesn't understand how human society works at all. Somebody explained Valentine's Day to him and wasn't very clear. So he invited me over, and when I show up, there's Chris snuggling with him. It was a very silly experience."

	"Yeah, it was a weird day. But he apologized once he was informed there was something to apologize for. Nice Guy, like I said. So were you out of school yet, when you came? I was just finishing at ESU when we left." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nice! Physics is waaay over my head most of the time, although I took a lot of solace from Kang's Third Law on this recent thing." Eventually, they get to the nice little Spanish restaurant. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Physics seemed like a good idea. Being able to understand why I'm able to pass through a concrete wall and keep my hair intact as I'm doing it really is helpful. And there are fashion implications as well. Shoes, for example. And certain handbags." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That does sound handy. And a good trick, too. Just got the basic shrinking and I'm a teensy bit tough, like my Dad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I can size shift as well. I seemed to get a good split, though my mom swears he tinkered with me when I was a toddler. Wouldn't surprise me. I was always in the lab getting into things I really shouldn't have. Between that and Mom's shoes, I'm surprised I'm not grounded for life." She paused. "If I ever get home I probably will be."

	"It'll happen. And in the meantime, we'll try to make this as comfortable as possible." They settle into the restaurant. Vernique orders the gaspacho. "God, it's good to be back. Most of the places we had to work were before the invention of blow driers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	MC looks at her horrified. "How in the hell do people live without them and the almighty Chi iron? Your mother made sure those were the first two things I had upon arrival." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Fortunately, our only camera was the one built into my shades. I have pictures of alternate-victorian high-tech dresses, Sir Lancelot hitting on me, alternate future children, but thank goodness, nothing of my hair." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Be glad you didn't get the skeevy 'verse. There are some weird takes on reality out there." She nodded, then got quiet again. "How long were you gone?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
