[Max rolls his eyes when he hears the message but calls the guy back anyway.]
I don't know what your problem is, bro, but you're starting to remind me of those little boys who pull on girls hair when they like them. I know I'm appealing, but you're coming on kind of strong.
Really. Hair pulling and strip-twister with strangers. Maybe you're not quite ready for the retirement home. [He talks in a low, lightly amused drawl. His accent's british, although not quite the kind you hear on villains in the movies.] Anyway, if you're worried, I don't even favourite on Grindr without more than one photo.
Nothing to be worried about for me, but if you were looking, there won't be much to find. I like meeting people face-to-face and never needed soc-net to help with that.
So I guess the real question here, is what do you want and what are you looking for?
Did you just say soc-net? Out loud? Fucking hell, you're so... American. [Freddie isn't, not even vaguely, but though he sounds amused it's doesn't have the edge to be insulting.]
Maybe I just wanted to say hello. Make some friends for my games nights. Chess? I'm always looking for someone to put me in check.
You think I sound American, you should hear my friend Kali. She's legit from Cali and sounds like it. [Sorry, bro, you won't manage to insult him that way. But he's gonna take what he says at face value--to an extent--and see where this is going.]
I'm no chessmaster, so I wouldn't be much of a challenge there. No Monopoly? I will own you by the end of the game.
You sure are expecting a lot out of me when we barely know each other. No Twister, no poker, no Monopoly--your loss, believe me--and you didn't sound like you cared much for charades, either. I'm pretty sure any game I mention won't meet your standards. Maybe try doing some thinking yourself. Unlike you, I'm not as picky.
I say give everyone five, ten minutes to build their own and then let the games begin. If they don't get much of one made up, it's their butts on the line.
For the record, that has to be the best voicemail message I've heard in forever.
But um, if you're free, can we do something? I know you're probably busy, and I... [...] I had a really good time at the meet and greet, so here's me, following up on that.
Best ever? Guess I'll have to find a way to top it later. [There's a smile in his voice, but he can tell something's up. Maybe she's shy about initiating contact with someone new?] But I'm more than up for hanging. Whether that's on the ground or not.
Hey we don't have to float. I know lots of people who will hang off buildings, trees, telephone wires--but that's Kali who thinks it's cute to sneak up on you when she's a squirrel.
But I'm down for some caffeine and a bit of chocolate. Just ain't right without it, ya feel me?
It's the principle of the matter! Can't a girl want to learn how to levitate herself?
[But she giggles at the idea of caffeine and chocolate.] Perfect. I'll go and grab us a table at Common Ground - unless you've got a better place in mind.
You do whatever floats your boat. [Look at all these puns.] Common Ground sounds good. I'll get there as soon as I can. Don't start on the food without me.

I've never played chess in my fucking life. And I'm not for sale.
Know any other games?

I think it is about time I start that snowball fight to give winter a proper sendoff! I've been talking to my sister about it.

I'm so down for a fight with balls of snow if you're putting it together. What's the plan?
no subject
My sister thinks it is a fine idea as well. :)

I do have a list. I want to be a little organized.
no subject
What other spots are on the list? We need places easy to block off so people don't wander into the firing zone on accident.

I think it would be simple to designate a big space far from the regular park attendees.

I won't put a power restriction on anyone, though I may hold back myself if the competition looks unfair.
