I asked Aurora to let the TVs work in the rec room of the apartment building, but all that is playing is old black and white movies

[ because that is what wanda asked for, sort of, but every channel is playing a different movie, all of them black and white. ]

From Earth

[ since that is a consideration now. ]

There IS a movie with Clint Eastwood that sounds like High Noon

[ she knows it! ]

( a pause, then— )

high plains drifter.
it's not black and white, witchy.

you get half a point.

[ she makes a face in the common room, nose scrunching up. she tried her best, okay! she should get extra credit! ]

How magnanimous of you

that IS what they say about me.

Is it though?

[ she doesn't even know him and yet, here she is, sassing. ]

you did.

you saying you're wrong?

My English is very good now, I'm not a they

you're part of the they. it's a collective.

they also say i'm an ass sometimes too.

That seems more likely

You're not Kate

( "..." )

you think kate watches westerns?

it's clint.

[ it's clint, oh no ]

I don't know her, she could watch anything

I realized you use punctuation and she doesn't

[ question marks, but not a single full stop. ]

( "you use punctuation" is about the weirdest comment he thinks he's ever had on his writing (by a definition of the term).

fortunately, one might say, wanda isn't privy to the state of clint's handwriting.
(illegible.
misspellings.
auto-correct is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.) )

she's uneducated too.

she's a child, apparently they don't teach punctuation anymore.
or periods are too aggressive or something, i haven't quite worked it out.

They don't teach cursive anymore either

[ cough cough back in my day cough ]

i'm not going to get all stones and glass houses.
i can't write in cursive either.

Honestly I'm sure I could read or write cursive in Engish either

that sounds like you can do it in a language which is at least one up from me.
but everyone has to have a flaw.
this is mine.

Yeah, of course, your only flaw

Your diet of just cheeseburgers and pizza is really a strength

hey, that's not true.

you forgot coffee.

( and beer, and cereal. )

Terrible mistake, I'm so sorry

apology accepted.

don't think it doesn't mean you won't need to make it up to me at some point though.

I'll write you a formal apology note

[ in cursive. also in cyrillic so who knows what it will actually say. ]

think the insulted party gets the right to choose the terms of the apology.

You're pickier than my children

[ haha, she thinks it too fast to stop it and then it's out and she has to read "my children" and know she...

doesn't have any. ]

( meanwhile, clint doesn't know any better to think there's anything odd about the remark. )

barnes has called me a child before...

He was born in 1917, everyone is a child to him

(no subject)
