Fifth Floor Common Room, Saturday Evening

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

Okay, true believers, the last time we'd seen our mean green heroine-in-training, she'd been dancing about in her underwear and singing about homicide¹.

This evening, however, she was more clothed and less full of song. Instead, she sat on the couch, stretched out with a pint of Cherry Garcia in hand. The TV was tuned to a rerun of Mythbusters. They were playing diet cola and Mentos. It was putting a smile on her face just as much as the ice cream.

This was how the She-Hulk liked to spend a quiet Saturday night in.

Raven wandered in after returning from Caritas. "Chuck said there is no recording of our...performance," she said.

Jennifer looked over and thought about that for a second.

"...really?"

It actually seemed a shame, to her.

[trigons_child]

Raven gave her a strange look. "You sound disappointed," she said.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Well... it was kind of fun, in hindsight," Jennifer said. "Plus we all looked really great."

[trigons_child]

"...we were not wearing clothing!" Raven said. She still wasn't sure where the fishnets had come from. She suspected the gremlins carried kits to outfit their victims.

"We weren't naked, though," Jennifer said. "There's fashion shows with people less clothed than we were."

[trigons_child]

"Almost," Raven said. "That is not how I wish to be seen in public."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Well, not all the time," Jennifer said. "But it does leave an impression."

[trigons_child]

"Again, not the impression I wish to make," Raven said.

But give her a few years, she'd be wearing an unpractical leotard for a costume yet.

And Jennifer as well.

"It was a gremlin bite, though," she said. "No one thinks those actually apply to you as a person."

[trigons_child]

"I know," Raven said, "but...that does not mean I would wish a record of my behavior to remain. It was embarrassing."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"I guess if you were embarrassed, you were embarrassed," Jennifer said. "But girlfriend, you were rocking that outfit."

[trigons_child]

Raven blushed. "Thank you," she murmured. "You looked...nice as well."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Which is exactly why I wish there was video," Jennifer said. "I could give it to Zack for Christmas."

[trigons_child]

Then she should talk to Chuck herself.

"Only your part of it, I would hope," Raven said.

"Oh, well, of course," Jennifer said. "Hardly want my boy to ogle other girls, right?"

[trigons_child]

"I understand that to be the case in many relationships," Raven said with a nod. "But not always."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"That's a good point," Jennifer said. "But right now, I'm more in the 'trying to keep his attention on me' stage of the relationship. Not, like, in a selfish diva way. Just in the... don't want to lose him to some random flower girl or something way."
