[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Um, no, not exactly."

She rolled her eyes. "Okay, fine. Any other reason besides common enemies, then?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Is he really that bad? He seems fine most of the time..."

"There may be adverse side effects."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That's what he wants you to think."

"Fair enough. What else?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"It can't be that bad. How could he be hiding it so well?"

He passed his tongue over his lower lip and sighed. "I don't know. I guess that's it."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"He's a master liar. Or actor. Whichever way you want to see it."

"Are you sure?" she asked quietly.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Well, that sucks."

"Unless you have any other ideas?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"You could say that, yes."

"I mean, I guess you have valid points, though I've never heard anything about side effects."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"You think he can improve?"

"Well, have you heard of the procedure up until Peter told you about it?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Maybe. He's pretty dead-set on the image he has of himself in his mind and he thinks he's not being useful or something."

"Peter didn't tell me anything about it."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Ray poked her toast with a fork, leaning her face in her hand. "Yeah, he's all sorts of depressed."

"My mistake."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Basically."

"How does he know about it?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I don't know how we can help, though."

"He has the 'cure' stored somewhere."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"No one seems to."

"Literally, or as a thought?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"What a stubborn guy. Oh well," she muttered and finished eating her food, twirling the fork in her hands after she was done.

"He went out and got it a while ago, apparantly."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Well, okay I probably shouldn't tell you this, but there had been a thought of turning him back going around."
James almost choked. "What?"

"Oh, that's... strangely prepared of him."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

Ray's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. "Turn him back?" she sputtered, "You can do that?"

"He had considered using it."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He nodded. "He's not really down with the concept yet."

"For himself?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I would imagine."

"Yeah," he said with a nod.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"And that's really the only solution we've been able to come up with."

"Interesting."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"You think he'll feel better if he's not a vampire?"

"Seems awfully convenient."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"That seems to be the part about himself he's hellbent on hating, but at the same time he thinks being one is the only way he'll be useful. It's very distracting."

"I mean, I guess."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"He just needs to prioritize. Has he talked to Mimi about it?"

He massaged his temples with his fingertips. "There's just a lot to think about," he sighed.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Probably not."

"Sorry."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Well, he should."

"Why are you apologizing?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Probably."

"Because I started this conversation?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Whatever, that's his deal."

"But you don't have to apologize."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He sighed. "I suppose."

"Then what do you propose I do about it?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"You think he should go through with it?"

"I'm not proposing anything."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I think he's making things overly complicated."

"I can see that."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((i should be studying, but im not in the mood argh))

"What else is new?"

"Are you trying to be funny?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((ugh that's the worst))

"This dish for one," he said, finally looking down to see what it was even though he'd been eating it while they were talking without really tasting it.

"No, was I being funny on accident?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Guess she did surprise you, huh?"

"I didn't think it was funny."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He nodded. "I can't tell what it is."

She shrugged slowly, not knowing what to say about that. "Uh, okay. Neither did I?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Do you not have taste buds?"

"I'm sorry," he sighed, "I'm being stupid."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

He gave her a look. "Yes I do."

"About what? I don't think I'm following."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"So what's the problem?"

"Everything."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"It could be anything."

"Oh."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Why's that?"

He nodded and bit his thumbnail. "Do you even like me, Mimi?" he asked, not looking at her.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Because that's what I asked for."

Her eyebrows shot up. Instead of exclaiming in incredulity, she tried a different approach. "If I hated you, you'd be well aware of it."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"I guess you have a point."

"No, but I mean like ... " He turned his head to make eye contact with her. "Are you even attracted to me?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Very clever..." he mused.

She sighed but her facial expression remained the same. "Where is this coming from?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

((okay, i gotta go :P))

"What if she poisoned it."

"I'm just wondering."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

((aww, byeas))

"Wow, thanks."

She sighed and said the first thing that sounded like the truth to her. "The short answer is no and the long answer is yes and I swear if you disappear on me now, I will punch you in the face and I don't care how many bones I break in the process," she said in a rush.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"It's a possibility!"

He laughed once without humor. "I don't know what that first part means," he said quietly.

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Yeah, one that already occurred to me, but you sure are a pessimist."

"It's complicated," she murmured, looking down at her feet.

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"You should ask her."

"You might as well tell me."

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"I was going to do just that."

She could have chosen from a thousand scathing remarks, but only sighed again. "Did you know that in the human brain, romantic love only lasts about a year and a half?"

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Perfect."

"Has that been scientifically proven?"

[Michelle, Where's your sense of adventure?]

"Why thank you."

She nodded. "The chemicals and the hormones behind the love trigger in your brain only stick around for that long."

[Just Plain Ray, Cause it's nine in the afternoon...]

"Well, go ahead. Also, you're paying."

"And then what happens after that?"
