+ Miss catching a baseball?” Her voice is sincere, too, despite how sarcastic it could sound. She knows how many bruises /she/ had... x.com/amagneticpulse…

Vivi knows that she’s extremely friendly compared to a lot of people, so the other woman’s tone doesn’t bother her. Her words do, though, + x.com/amagneticpulse…

+ you’re basically part of the family here, and with the trouble my boyfriend’s in, I just wanna make sure no one /else/ is in the same + x.com/amagneticpulse…

Eating some more of her popcorn, she watches the other woman carefully. She doesn’t know her very well, so she doesn’t know if she’s + x.com/amagneticpulse…

+ always this hostile, but thankfully, her next words are at least a /little/ more inviting. “I don’t know. If you ask me, a few + x.com/amagneticpulse…

Stopping mid-chewing, Vivi just watched Lorna for a moment, confusion filling her face. When it clicks, though, she raises a brow, + x.com/amagneticpulse…

At that, Vivi /slowly/ reaches over, pulling the spoon out of her hand to set it on the table. It’s not smart, no, but she’s hoping her + x.com/amagneticpulse…

Sitting down next to her, she keeps her eyes on the other woman, taking a slow, deep breath as she looks over at the popcorn. As much as + x.com/amagneticpulse…

+ over, turning her eyes back to the woman as she grabs the bowl. “Better settle in, babe, because have I got a hell of a story.” x.com/amagneticpulse…

Don’t mind her. She’s just sitting in her room FRANTICALLY wrapping the last minute presents she bought with the Punk Goes Christmas CD blaring.
