44th Note

[thewildone]

Dear Santa,

Before we really get started here, I'm just gonna point out that I think it's only fair that you judge me compared to how I normally behave, because on a relative scale I've been almost staggeringly good this year.

With that out of the way, I need a new coffee maker and I want a copy of Orpheé. I could always use more strings and picks, and I definitely wouldn't say no to a new Marshall tube amp. More records are always cool too. My cat would probably like a catnip mouse and something he can scratch the hell out of without me yelling at him. I would also like to find a drummer and for my boyfriend to dominate me, but you probably can't do anything about that.

Yours,

Curt

[brb, over here choking to death on his coffee.]

2/3

[totallyinaband]

[Okay, deep breaths. Well, that's not exactly objectionable but jvhbkajhvbkvbb...]

3/3

[totallyinaband]

[Oh god, why does the entire network need to know about their sex life. He's just going to... let that bit come up a bit later.]

I think your cat would decimate a catnip mouse in three seconds.

[thewildone]

Well, yeah, that's why he needs another one.

[totallyinaband]

So uh, you usually write santa letters?

[still freaking out a little. Not gonna lie.]

[thewildone]

I sure as hell don't. The last time I did I think I was six.

[totallyinaband]

Yeah, considering how many I saw on the network I'm getting a cursey vibe.

[Oh God, is he going to have to bring it up? WHAT DO.]

private;

[thewildone]

[Since Stephen didn't start freaking out immediately, Curt kind of figures it's his job to say something. Something that is not public, this time.]

Yeah. With the whole public-ness of things I should probably be talking to you and not Mr. Claus about.

private;

[totallyinaband]

Yeah, that might be... good.

private;

[thewildone]

I'm not saying I have any complaints or anything I just. Uh. It's actually kind of weird to try to talk about like this. But yeah.

[Curt doesn't think of himself as someone who gets awkward talking about sex, but there's actually a big difference between when you're about to do it and then trying to be coherent over the network.]

private;

[totallyinaband]

Yeah. I... get that. I don't really object, in theory?

[If Curt thinks he feels awkward... Going to bury his head in his hands forever now.]

Sorry. I'm not really very good at the talking part yet.

private;

[thewildone]

Talk is cheap, anyway. But I kind of thought it was something that wouldn't occur to you if I didn't bring it up, so I was waiting for the right moment. And got this instead.

private;

[totallyinaband]

I guess there's kinda a lot of stuff that doesn't occur to me.

Did you want to... meet up tonight?

private;

[thewildone]

Yeah, okay.

private;

[totallyinaband]

Okay, I'll be there in a bit.

[Probably with booze...]

action?

[thewildone]

[Always acceptable. Curt'll be waiting.]

action!

[totallyinaband]

[It's not long before he's knocking on his door.]

Hi. I brought wine.

action!

[thewildone]

Well, aren't we fancy tonight.

action

[totallyinaband]

It's leftover from Thanksgiving.

[He going to go ahead and step in over the threshold, getting his arms around Curt's neck to kiss him.]

action

[thewildone]

[Curt kisses back and tugs Stephen inside by the hips.]

I'll try to find clean glasses.

action

[totallyinaband]

Do you think you're likely to?

[Going ahead and grabbing a seat at the counter.]

action

[thewildone]

Uh...I could wash some.

[He does check the cabinets, though. The kitchen stuff is mostly left over from previous residents, which means it's actually a lot more well-stocked than if Curt and Campbell had tried to furnish it.]

I know there are wineglasses around here somewhere.

action

[totallyinaband]

Any kind of glass'll work.

[It wasn't too long ago he was still a student. He's not above drinking wine out of a mug.]

action

[thewildone]

[Curt actually finds two wineglasses, only one of which needs to be washed. It's not as if they remotely match, but, hey, win.]

I have a lot of things, just not in places that make sense...that's going to make moving fun.

action

[totallyinaband]

So you're moving for sure?
