Hey I got a little problem I could use some help with. There's this nice, little, teenage girl who's never read a book before, so I told her I'd get her one as a surprise gift. But uh, I'm drawin' up a blank. What kinda books do girls even read nowadays?

For the sake of your life? I really hope that's sarcasm.

[crisisrain]

I wish it was, my life is pathetic.

[herotypical]

Pathetic? Mister, you got cosmically kidnapped into a pre-historic village to be some scientist's guinea pig. That's more on the exciting side of pathetic, if I remember correctly.

[crisisrain]

That's true, but the guy who made my life so pathetic is here as well.

[herotypical]

Who's that? Some kinda your-world Big Bad?

[crisisrain]

[He bursts into a laughter.]

That could be one way of puttin' it!

[herotypical]

[You're confusing the poor intrepid heroine, Raven!]

So, what with all the laughter? I'm gonna guess we're not talking about a horrifying villain.

[crisisrain]

[That's another talent of his.]

No he was a good guy once, he just went a little crazy not too long ago and messed up.

[herotypical]

Oh, one of those.

He's not...running around here all crazy, is he? Because if so, I'd really like a warning.

[crisisrain]

I'm not sure, only had one actual run-in with him. His name is Alexei Dinoia, he's got white hair that flicks out and wears lots of red. Ya can't miss him, he sticks out like a sore thumb~

[herotypical]

I'll be sure to add him to the Loony List. Thanks.

[crisisrain]

If you can get a cheap shot in without him spottin' you, do that as well.

[herotypical]

That bad, huh?

[crisisrain]

No, he's just a jerk~

[herotypical]

I kinda need a little more than an accusation of jerkishness in order to throw a fist at a guy, you know. It's a whole ethics thing.

[crisisrain]

He forced the kidnap of a princess then abused her?

[herotypical]

[Oh, God.]

Yeah, okay. That'll do.

[crisisrain]

Not that I kidnapped her for him or anythin'...

Good, cause he seems ta be gettin' a little comfortable here. He said he was from a point in time before he did all that, but I don't believe him for a minute.

[herotypical]

I dunno--it's possible. There's a time wackiness about this place.

[crisisrain]

Ya think so? Maybe I'm just not trustin' him cause of what happened in my time. But somethin' seems really off about the whole thing. Doesn't help that I've got no idea what he's been told by the rest of the people from the same world as me.

[herotypical]

Why don't you ask them?

[crisisrain]

Why didn't I think of that?

[herotypical]

Too busy with that one-horse-cart of a mind you have, maybe?

[crisisrain]

[OOC: ;D of course.]

No, I just got distracted by yer stunnin' beauty again.

[herotypical]

Cute, mister. But I don't even know your name?
