[her_own_savior]

so you're saying what I can always fall back on dying to reboot my brain?

[thenewnormal]

Physically. Mentally, your memories will stick around. But like I said, there are other options. Magic and technology that's past what we had.

[her_own_savior]

I don't want anything to dampen it.

Maybe that's selfish of me but this is who I am and I'm not going to be scared of it.

But if something stops the falling apart. That would be amazing.

[thenewnormal]

That's...not what I was saying, Maria. I wouldn't take away a part of who you were, not unless it was literally that or death and around here...

Well, anyway. When you're ready for other people to find out, you can let me know and either Kyle or I can ask Margo. She and Eliot are the only real magicians I know well enough to ask, though I guess there's Nate, too, now. But they'd know who to talk to in order to figure out if there's some way to stop the damage. I can also check in with Dr. Bashir. When I had my run-in with death, he's one of the ones who helped with the prosthetic.

[her_own_savior]

That's more a statement of warning than it was reaction to anything your said. I don't want you to start talking to Doctor Who and get excited and then I have to say no.

Thanks. I really appreciate it Alex. I might ... not do anything for a little while. Just to see what happens HERE in Duplicity. But I'll let you know.

[thenewnormal]

No, that's fine. I'm used to waiting for stuff like that.

[ Because Guerin still had his broken hand and it still killed Alex. So, giving Maria the time she needs to process is something he's used to. ]

[her_own_savior]

<3 <3 You're the best.

[thenewnormal]

Just please tell me that Liz is not some secret alien or I might have to start buying into my father's conspiracies about hidden agendas.

[ Which they both know he'd never buy into. ]

[her_own_savior]

Hey, as far as I know, Liz is as normal as you are.

Which, you know. ;)

[thenewnormal]

Heh. Yeah, yeah. None of us are normal, or all of us are normal, depending on your point of view.

[her_own_savior]

Just normal levels of freaking weird. But always have been a little weird for Roswell. In a good way. A proud way.

[thenewnormal]

Weird and proud? Sounds like some kind of slogan.

[her_own_savior]

the few, the proud, the weird. I'll get some t-shirts made.

[thenewnormal]

Please do. Make sure to include a picture of an alien, a fake one, for good measure.

[her_own_savior]

neon green, got it.

hey can I ask you a potentially awkward question?

[thenewnormal]

Awkward? Of course you can.

[her_own_savior]

I need to hit quota. I'm at a big fat 0 right now.
I was thinking of hitting up the network but there's... just so much? going on I mean.

But is there ever a good time to ask for dates? I figure I should bite the bullet.

[thenewnormal]

Jesus. Uhh.

[ Congrats, Maria. You have him at a loss for words. ]

The network is possibly a bad idea. Just because things can get weird. I can introduce you around at the theater. Or...

[ And there's a moment or four before he types again. ]

Worse comes to worse, you know Guerin would help.

[her_own_savior]

Weird how? Like the other posts? Or you mean like, dick pics and shit?

I wouldn't mind being introduced around the theater

...

...

but I really don't feel like involving Guerin like that right now.

[thenewnormal]

No, I know. I'm just saying. Last minute pressure and everything. Believe me when I say that you don't want to find out what happens if you don't make quota. I'm really glad that I never had the chance to find out. I came close.

[her_own_savior]

Yeah, I heard. From Liz and Michael. And I don't want to do that to you guys or myself.

So instead I'll just... Tindr it up I guess.

[thenewnormal]

I wish I had a better option. If you need a bodyguard/wingman, you know I'm there.

[her_own_savior]

Oh I fully expect you and Liz as my alert friends. You know, where I send you messages about where we're going and you check in at designated times. I don't trust this city an inch.

[thenewnormal]

Good. Because you shouldn't. Just do me a favor and...suspend your disbelief when it comes to this city. Aliens are one thing, but this place is just weird.
