[ felipe 🤝 lottie re: unexpectedly having fragile and soft constitutions ]

nothing like bonding when one of you is completely fucked up, right..

[ It's reluctant, Lottie agreeing. Just because she's been there doesn't mean she particularly likes it. Having to pretend to be nice, or the moments where it's genuine being ruined by something else. ]

was he okay in the end?

[ludomania]

[ if only she knew how fucked up House was – wait, she doesn't know? ]

Yeah, I guess he just had too much to drink.

[ she might not buy it if she could see his face, but lying like this is easy. he really wants to keep this conversation light even if it bothers him. ]

Want to hear how I met John?

[oomfies]

[ Lottie knows — she definitely wishes she didn't, because ignorance is bliss or something. People in town gossip and Lottie is a Gossip Girl™, she has to know the drama. But she's not about to go that deep with Felipe, after all she can barely remember his name. She's still a little upset at him. And it's been fun, this back and forth, when it hasn't teetered further than the surface. ]

was it at the festival, too?

[ludomania]

Well, we met briefly before that, but that's when we really bonded.

Speaking of festivals – are they going to throw another one in your honor? On your birthday?

[ that's what he would do! ]

[oomfies]

[ BUT FELIPE... Lottie wants to know!! ]

i don't know
i haven't even brought it up to them yet
which seems dumb bc house told EVERYONE about his 🙄

[ludomania]

Want me to tell them?

[oomfies]

......how would you do it???

[ludomania]

How would you want me to do it?

[oomfies]

um... um i guess
casually??

i don't KNOW i've never had to think about this before!!
usually everyone already knows abt my birthday

[ludomania]

I'm afraid I don't do anything casually.

[oomfies]

okay then... act it out??

pretend i'm john

[ludomania]

You really like roleplay, don't you?

Hi John.

[oomfies]

[ She's not even going to dignify that with a response because a very small, small, tiny, part of her does. And her reply takes forever because she has to scratch her brain on what his name is—

—But would John use his name? Maybe. Lottie regrets saying she'd be John, it'd be easier playing House!! ]

Hey.

[ Fuck. ]

What did you need, Felipe?

[ludomania]

No, he'd say something like.

Hey. Choice. Can I suck your dick?

All smooth like.

[ he's still mad at that guy. ]

[oomfies]

felipe!! WTF don't critique me ok i'm trying my best!

also john wouldn't go out and just ask to suck your dick he'd like
there's a whole thing he does
there's foreplay, okay??

[ludomania]

Is there?

[ genuinely confused. ]

Anyway. [ he drops the fake accent. back to himself. ] I was thinking we could play another round of cards. You free tonight?

[oomfies]

yes?? there's always foreplay??

[ Felipe... ]

anyway [ She clears her throat. Then agonizes for another minute or so, ] Sure. Think I can squeeze you in. What time should I swing by?

[ludomania]

I don't care.

But there's something I want you to do if I win.

[oomfies]

If you win.

[ A dramatic beat for tension. ]

Alright, what is it?

[ludomania]

[ he also pauses for drama. gotta do it right. ]

It involves House.

[oomfies]

Threesome?

[ludomania]

[ he laughs, breaking character, because John would say that. ]

No, I want you to throw a party for Lottie for her birthday.

[oomfies]

Of course. I'll do that even if you lose.

[ She scratches at her scalp in thought. ]

How do you know it's going to be her birthday?

[ludomania]

She's a good friend.

Don't you know it's her birthday soon?

[oomfies]

ok pause

you are SO trying to start something with that!
