So what do you actually do for fun around here? Besides drinking or sex. [ Because she already knows the joy of those, obviously. ] Do you have hobbies.

Comments

[aceso]

Indeed? Do things fall out of fashion so quickly? No wonder it sounds silly. I tend to fall into using the words he uses. Well, some of them. He's referred to me as "bootylicious" and that just sounds ridiculous to me.

[coppelganger]

Bootylicious?

[ Yeah, she's pretty sure that would be ridiculous in any universe. ]

[aceso]

Your tone tells me he's not going to convince me that is a commonly used word in other lands.

[coppelganger]

It was the title of a song in my universe from like, twelve years ago. But I wouldn't say it's commonly used, no.

[aceso]

There is a song about it? That is so like him.

[ A fond sigh. ]

Well, I suspect we may use words here beyond beau that have you thinking we're outdated, yes?

[coppelganger]

Yeah, but it isn't that bad. I can understand most of it.

[aceso]

The rifts tend to be generous that way, do they not? You could have arrived and only heard gibberish from us.

[coppelganger]

[ Eugh, the thought is actually giving her anxiety. ]

Yeah, well thank fuck it didn't go like that.

[aceso]

[ An exhale of laughter. The way Rifters speak amuses her. ]

It is curious, but not unwelcome. Are you able to read our books? I have heard some can, some can't. It is odd the same does not apply to speech.

[coppelganger]

Oh, yeah, I can read.

[ She assumes she can, anyway? Sarah's not much of a reader, but Cosima hasn't complained about it, and she definitely would. ]

[aceso]

That is good. I suppose I can recommend reading as a hobby as well, if that is the kind of thing that takes your fancy.
