cosmopolitan, inactive - marie claire pym

After the meeting
Vernique managed to corner the girl with the fabulous hair. "MC, right?"

	"Marie Claire properly, yes. You're Vernique, correct?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"That's me. You want to grab lunch?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	particlegirl 2011-01-29 02:45 am UTC (link)
	"We, uh, we can do that, sure." MC looked around briefly to make sure that Vernique was, in fact, speaking to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Great. Sala on Bowery good for you? You vegetarian or anything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nope, not really. I'm fairly not-picky when it comes to food, though I will not set foot in a McDonald's and no, you cannot make me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Principled objection to business practices, or just good taste?" Vernique asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Both. Also those places are just filthy. Really. I wouldn't risk my shoes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Excellent point. If you don't have Sala in your world, I promise it's clean. Terrific gazpacho." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No, we don't have Sala. Or not anymore. It was something of a casualty in the Zero Point Energy fiasco. No, you don't want to know. It's really awful." MC picked up her purse, making sure she had everything she needed in it. Hank had been startlingly generous and given her some money. It would be embarrassing to go out without any.

"I'm surprised you want to go out to lunch with me. You just got back; you should be with your friends and family."

	Vernique...blinked. That sounded terrible, yes. "Oh, I've been doing plenty of clinging, believe you me. But now it's time to get some air and talk to the other side of the family for a bit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, Stevie was muttering about 'related', and it turns out your last name's Pym, which isn't exactly common. And while that's surprising... well, I guess it's not as surprising as Chris and I seem to you, huh?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"You are normal. I'm still in shock that my father was with an alley cat." MC facepalms suddenly. "I didn't mean it like that exactly...crap. Crap crap crap. I am not handling any of this well, you see. I have only been shopping once, I need a deep conditioning treatment, and no one likes me very well. This is a really trying experience.

"But I'm something of your worst nightmare in terms of where I came from genetically so I don't expect you to pay me any more mind than anyone else. I'm just relieved you have taste."

"We all misspeak sometime. And it's no problem. It's not like Mom and Hank are some kind of foreign concept. It just failed here and succeeded there, I guess. Obviously, I'm in favor in general principle of Mom meeting Dad, for the obvious reasons, but there are scarier nightmare scenarios out there than extradimensional half-sister." Vernique smiles. "Besides, we have to hang out. Otherwise, how can I ask you to please, please, never ever sleep with Halbjorn Thorsson?"

"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)

	particlegirl 2011-01-29 04:01 am UTC (link)
	"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)

	butterflybullet 2011-01-29 04:08 am UTC (link)
	"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)
