[Being stuck on another world with nothing to do while your first-grade son is a prisoner to god knows who is about the worst thing a mother could ever feel. (God, please don't try to prove her wrong.) She couldn't sleep, couldn't eat and with nothing to do but wait and pray, all that was left to her was to think.

And all of those thoughts. So many. all of them terrible, all of them worried and frightened and thinking about the worst that could happen. Not even being around Sam's old crayon drawings could cheer her up.

And like everything else, Lindsey didn't want to tell anyone. Not like they could do anything and would only leave them feeling as worthless as she did.

So she drank. More than was needed to simply sleep easier, or maybe it was just to keep out the nightmare that had become life. She didn't even bother to hide it now, with her small sample liquor bottles (most of them empty) next to the coffee machine and a half finished cup of coffee. Not that she could really reach those anyway, sitting against her new kitchen cabinets on the ground, one hand clinging to some vodka like it was some plushie.

Good thing she gave away her tablet and had no idea where her cellphone was, that'd probably be embarrassing. Not that she was too drunk or anything.

Who would she even call? Were operators still around?

One of them probably had a cute voice if they did. That was in their job description, right?

She took another swig, dousing a bit of hair that was caught in her mouth. whoops. Maybe showering would be good.

Maybe her son would suddenly appear like how he disappeared if she did.

Her son...

She took another swig.]

Uh. [well that's a little out of the blue] I like to think so?

[whatdoesdequal]

[That seems to relax her, sighing a little in relief.] That's good. Decent people aren't really great if they weren't decent. They're cute too sometimes.

did you ever find a girlfriend yet? I bet she's also pretty.

[inchesofevil]

...Right. [Lindsey you are drunk go to bed.]

Uh, I have a potential but we're not official or anything. We had one date but you know we broke into a library together so maybe it's serious.

She's gorgeous, but off-limits. Best friend rules.

[whatdoesdequal]

Right. Best friend rules...I don't think we've ever needed to deal with that before.

So what is she like? Hates Emos as much as you do?

[inchesofevil]

[he doesn't think they do now either, she's just drunk. she probably would not crush on theresa if they met.]

If you mean emus, I haven't asked.

Haven't you met her? Theresa?

[whatdoesdequal]

What? you haven't asked? Isn't that a deal breaker if she does?

though the name is cute. What does she kiss like? You did have your first date so there was kissing, right?

[inchesofevil]

Wow, Lindsey, that is a rude as fuck question to ask a guy.

[whatdoesdequal]

What? How is that rude!

[inchesofevil]

Because it's none of your fucking business what she kisses like!

[whatdoesdequal]

So she's a terrible kisser then.

[inchesofevil]

That is not what I said! I said it wasn't any of your business!

[whatdoesdequal]

But that isn't fair! Business is business and you're in mine! You gotta be fair with this! [/drunk logic]

Besides, girls do it all the time...at least in TV...[pause]...or an anime...?

[inchesofevil]

Oh, yeah, that's a real accurate portrayal of interpersonal relationships, anime.

[whatdoesdequal]

You still haven't told me what she's like. [Completely avoiding arguing with you.]

[inchesofevil]

She is a very classy woman who would not put up with your nonsense.

I'll introduce you when you're sober.

[whatdoesdequal]

Why not just call her right now? I'm not that drunk. [Says the woman who's wearing PJ and stinks of several brands of alcohol.]

....You're not sleeping with a professor, are you?

[inchesofevil]

She's a librarian, actually.

And yes, you are that drunk.

[whatdoesdequal]

So you're sleeping with a libra-...[Lifts her head a little and stares at Duncan. Somehow the librarian is even more interesting.]

[inchesofevil]

No, I am not sleeping with a librarian, because she is still a prospective girlfriend.

[whatdoesdequal]

well good, because that'd makes things awkward. [Lays back down, staring at the ceiling again.]

...but you've kissed her, right?

[inchesofevil]

[how would that make anything awkward...? no duncan don't think about it too hard she's just drunk.]

Yes.

[whatdoesdequal]

and she was fine with it?[She really didn't see Duncan as the pushy kind of guy, but that didn't mean he couldn't suck at kissing and make the whole thing a total date kill.

...Though, this was her Bff, so Lindsey was sure it was all cool.] What did you two even talk about? How two base genetic pairs were your favorite compared to certain other pairs that we shouldn't name?

[inchesofevil]

I asked first, so I guess she'd have to be.

[and then :| forever] What the fuck, Lindsey.

[whatdoesdequal]

well that's what you do, don't you? Talk about gene pairing and number sequences...or was that colors.

[inchesofevil]

Not with people who aren't in my major.
