Soooooo, I wasn't quite sure how to post this, but Patty and I both agreed that it really should be posted, if only for the entertainment value of anyone who happens to be interested in what's going on with Doc and Marlene. So voila, here it is! Please excuse the crazy (along with any and all spelling mistakes). Also, vague apologies to whoever got mentioned/dragged into the crazy unwillingly - most especially Rita and a little bit Yaxley - mmkay?
Patty 11:14 pm Patty (11:14:36 PM): hear that caradoc? Patty (11:14:39 PM): some people appreciate her Erin 11:17 pm Erin (11:17:03 PM): :-P he appreciates her Erin (11:17:11 PM): she just scares him, just a bit Erin (11:17:19 PM): in a good, emotional way Patty 11:17 pm Patty (11:17:50 PM): Marlene says ha, he doesn't appreciate her. he snogs and leaves, damn halfblood Erin 11:19 pm Erin (11:19:29 PM): doc sighs and says No, he snogged, then wandered off with the munchies, then was sad when he realized she was gone. and if he were going to snog and leave, he feels the need to point out, he wouldn't do it b/c he's a half-blood. he'd do it b/c she's a MOODY PAIN THE ARSE Erin (11:19:49 PM): he's just sayin' Erin (11:19:52 PM): :-P Patty 11:20 pm Patty (11:20:36 PM): marlene purses her lips and glares at him. SHES the moody pain in hte arse? Oh really? She just got him out of detention and actually replied to him when he talked to her. Oh and apparently since she was the one seeking him out, HE WAS JUST TAKING ADVANTAGE OF HER Patty (11:21:01 PM): halfbloods and their taking advantage of innocent young girls affections Patty (11:21:07 PM): and then NOT TALKING TO THEM Erin 11:21 pm Erin (11:21:39 PM): hun, i'm going to be honest. i've got no way to explain the fact that my computer broke and still keep doc in character Patty 11:21 pm Patty (11:21:49 PM): XD oh i know darling Erin 11:21 pm Erin (11:21:51 PM): so sooner or later, she's gonna hafta relent on that Patty 11:22 pm Patty (11:22:14 PM): the easy way to win her over? Pay attention to her Erin 11:22 pm Erin (11:22:18 PM): :-( b/c she makes him sad Patty 11:22 pm Patty (11:22:35 PM): and probably a face to face so he could actually see that she's not being a heartless bitch, that she's just upset Patty (11:22:47 PM): cause feelings are involved and its new and she's scared Erin 11:22 pm Erin (11:22:48 PM): doc: uhnn,but,wha... WHAT AM I DOING RIGHT NOW!?!?! Erin (11:23:00 PM): cause he's a BOY :-P Erin (11:23:08 PM): and insensitive Patty 11:23 pm Patty (11:23:41 PM): marlene: Oh this is you trying? Yelling at me and telling me I'm a terrible person? Oh well i've no idea why you'd want to snog me then. Erin 11:25 pm Erin (11:25:01 PM): doc: but... I NEVER said that! where did that even COME from!?! Erin (11:25:20 PM): doc: YOU MAKE ME SO CONFUSED, WOMAN! Patty 11:26 pm Patty (11:26:20 PM): marlene: IM CONFUSING YOU?! I SHOULDNT EVEN WANT TO BE NEAR YOU! LET ALONE BE DRAGGING YOU OFF INTO CORNERS AND WAKING UP IN YOUR BED AND AND *she starts to sniffle* Erin 11:26 pm Erin (11:26:50 PM): Doc is like, oh no, *nervous swallow* Patty 11:27 pm Patty (11:27:06 PM): and marlene wipes her eyes and just glares at him Erin 11:28 pm Erin (11:28:01 PM): Doc: *thinks about putting a comforting hand on her shoulder, but doesn't* well... at least we didn't have sex, right? b/c then this would be REALLY awkward Patty 11:28 pm Patty (11:28:21 PM): marlene: *looks horrified* oh merlin! *buries ehr face in her hands* Erin 11:28 pm Erin (11:28:22 PM): if she wants to hit him there, you know, go for it Erin (11:28:57 PM): doc: ...did i say the wrong thing? Patty 11:29 pm Patty (11:29:35 PM): marlene: WHY WOULD YOU EVEN SAY THAT?! Erin 11:30 pm Erin (11:30:42 PM): doc: WELL!? You're crying b/c we snogged a bit. i am absolutely terrified of what you would be doing to me now if we had actually slept together! Patty 11:32 pm Patty (11:32:51 PM): Marlene: I am not crying! *pokes his chest hard* And I'm not going to sleep with you! Erin 11:33 pm Erin (11:33:48 PM): Doc: Well, good! And... you know. Also good! Yeah. Me neither. Totally. Erin (11:34:17 PM): Doc: .... .... .... *fidgets* Patty 11:34 pm Patty (11:34:55 PM): Marlene: *stares at him* Are you calling me repulsive? Erin 11:35 pm Erin (11:35:10 PM): Doc: You called me repulsive first! Patty 11:35 pm Patty (11:35:22 PM): Marlene: You think I'm repulsive! Erin 11:36 pm Erin (11:36:23 PM): Doc: I don't think I'm actually capable of thinking that and you aren't allowed to be offended b/c you said it to ME first! YOU think *I*'m repulsive! I don't appreciate it! Patty 11:37 pm Patty (11:37:02 PM): Marlene: I don't think you're repulsive! Erin 11:38 pm Erin (11:38:08 PM): Doc: Lies! You said so! And for the record, *I* know that I'm not repulsive. You;re just not very nice Erin (11:38:40 PM): he knows this b/c rita skeeter was willing to sleep with him. and she doesn't sleep with ugly boys. trufax. Erin (11:38:55 PM): but he's not quite dumb enough to admit that right at the moment Patty 11:39 pm Patty (11:39:31 PM): Marlene: I don't snog repulsive boys! And I'm plenty nice. You're just. You're mean! You're a mean mean boy! Erin 11:45 pm Erin (11:45:47 PM): Doc: Well, I don't know WHO you snog, now do I, because you never talk about anything YOU-related. And I'm not mean! I'm awesome! Ask anyone; the whole school likes me, except Slytherin Erin (11:46:05 PM): slytherin's judgement is clearly flawed, for the record Patty 11:46 pm Patty (11:46:54 PM): Marlene: You've never asked, now have you! Nooo, far more interested in just taking advantage of me! In fact maybe you've gone and enchanted me or something. Because that would explain everything! Erin 11:51 pm Erin (11:51:49 PM): Doc: Normal people don't have to ask for ANY LITTLE THING, you know! With normal people, usually tiny, occasional things will pop up in casual conversation from time to time - I've mentioned my grandparents to you and you know that my mother is a crazy human rights nut - but NO, not with YOU. YOU never talk about ANYTHING, never offer any openings for someone to ask about. You're like fucking Fort Knox! And for the record, I have never had to enchant anybody to convince them to snog me before, I doubt I would start now Erin (11:52:32 PM): *was careful to put "anybody" instead of "girls", btw* :-P Patty 11:53 pm Patty (11:53:46 PM): Marlene: There's NOTHING wrong with being private! Some people prefer being private! In fact maybe it's better for people if they are! Patty 11:53 pm Patty (11:53:53 PM): oh she wouldn't notice that really, lol. Erin 11:54 pm Erin (11:54:05 PM): didn't think so, but there it is, all the same Patty 11:54 pm Patty (11:54:08 PM): he's got her too paranoid now that someone else would have picked up on the fact that she's shut down and thats BAD Erin 11:57 pm Erin (11:57:44 PM): Doc: FINE! If all I had to do is ASK! What's your family like, Marlene?! Are they as "private" as you? Did you have pets growing up? What would your family think of their PERFECT LITTLE SLYTHERIN PRINCESS snogging some street urchin HALF-BLOOD?! How about your FRIENDS, HUH? Patty 12:00 am Patty (12:00:14 AM): Marlene: *purses her lips, hands fisting slightly.* My family is lovely. I have an older sister. No pets. We prefer to be private for reasons of decorum. Patty (12:01:07 AM): she's very purposefully avoiding that last bit but he likely realizes that Erin 12:01 am Erin (12:01:27 AM): yeah, his eyes have narrowed at her Erin 12:03 am Erin (12:03:06 AM): he's on the verge of saying that he doesn't want to continue this conversation right now. she's making him act not-cool and he's uncomfortable with it Patty 12:03 am Patty (12:03:19 AM): they make each other have feelings Erin 12:03 am Erin (12:03:31 AM): it's frightening Patty 12:03 am Patty (12:03:40 AM): she's not too fond of it either, lol Patty (12:03:49 AM): she doesn't like someone being able to poke holes in her Erin 12:05 am Erin (12:05:00 AM): he doesn't like that he actually CARES whether the fact he's a half-blood bothers her. he's always been very, "if you don't like it, fuck off, too bad for you" in the past Patty 12:05 am Patty (12:05:55 AM): she's completely freaked out that she even considered it, let alone went through with it Erin 12:09 am Erin (12:09:06 AM): he's disappointed in himself for caring about someone who would care about it. and in her, BECAUSE he knows she cares about it. Patty 12:09 am Patty (12:09:36 AM): she really can't help it. she's taken pretty fantastic steps for someone raised like she was Erin 12:12 am Erin (12:12:47 AM): *pats poor marlene* Erin (12:13:36 AM): doc is currently less understanding than i, but he can get better Erin (12:13:53 AM): but it's hard to get better at reacting to something when you don't know about it yet Patty 12:16 am Patty (12:16:28 AM): it's true Patty (12:16:33 AM): but her boobs can help Erin 12:17 am Erin (12:17:05 AM): lol Patty 12:17 am Patty (12:17:35 AM): Marlene: *continues ignoring his other questions* Is there anything else you were dying to know? Erin 12:19 am Erin (12:19:16 AM): doc: what's your favourite colour? most embarrasing childhood memory? best friend? Patty 12:20 am Patty (12:20:06 AM): Marlene: Purple. I broke my ankle in my mother's heels when I was six. Narcissa. Patty 12:26 am Patty (12:26:02 AM): Marlene: Anything else or are you satisfied? Erin 12:27 am Erin (12:27:27 AM): Doc: Purple is nice. I like silver. I have also walked around in my mother's heels, though I did not hurt myself. And SERIOUSLY, Narcissa Black? Erin (12:28:01 AM): odd factoid: i never walked around in mother's heels, but my butch bad-ass brother totally did it all the time Erin 12:28 am Erin (12:28:12 AM): true story Patty 12:30 am Patty (12:30:30 AM): lol Patty (12:31:09 AM): Marlene: *raises an eyebrow* You walk about in heels? *crosses her arms* And of course Narcissa is. We grew up together. 2:31 am
Erin 12:32 am Erin (12:32:50 AM): annnnnd now doc's on his guard again, b/c he's sorta friends with sirius and has heard a lot fo not-nice things about the Blacks Patty 12:33 am Patty (12:33:27 AM): Marlene has no respect for anyone who would abandon family Erin 12:34 am Erin (12:34:58 AM): doc doesn't hold family very sacred. his mom's family disowned her and only acknowledged her again so they could try and turn their only grandchild into a... well, whatever the male version of a debutante is Erin (12:35:16 AM): doc thinks family is what you make of it Patty 12:36 am Patty (12:36:30 AM): Marlene's family is fiercely loyal. I mean, they all become bloodtraitors for nadine sooooo Erin 12:36 am Erin (12:36:40 AM): outloud, he says that all kids wore their mom's heels and any boy who says otherwise is a liar Erin 12:37 am Erin (12:37:06 AM): :-P since neither of them seem to want to say anything meaningful to each other at the moment Patty 12:37 am Patty (12:37:25 AM): to be fair, marlene's reasoning for it is valid Patty (12:38:05 AM): Marlene: Right, I'm sure. *rolls her eyes and flips her hair.* That it then? Erin 12:40 am Erin (12:40:02 AM): Doc: *sneering (as well as Doc CAN sneer)* I guess it is. Unless you have anything else you wanted to say? Oh, wait, I'm sorry. Of course you don't. I forgot who I was talking to for a second. I would have to ASK if you actually expected you to say anything else, wouldn't I? Erin (12:40:29 AM): then he storms off in a dramatic huff Erin (12:40:51 AM): and wants a cigarette he can't have b/c marlene's mad at him :-P Patty 12:41 am Patty (12:41:56 AM): Marlene: Oh no you don't! *chases after him* What, you're just going to rrun off on me again? Typical! Erin 12:42 am Erin (12:42:55 AM): Doc: *I* didn't run off! *I* had the munchies! When I came back with food - which I had been intending to share with you, for the record - *you* were the one who had run off! Erin (12:43:32 AM): Doc: Then I talk to you after and you're all 'don't tell anyone!' Erin (12:43:43 AM): Doc: Yeah. *I* ran away. Patty 12:45 am Patty (12:45:33 AM): Marlene: Right, because I was supposed to let Yaxley find me there. Oh and you know that would just go over so well when he decided to go and tell Rodolphus or Bellatrix! *she snaps but a little shiver runs through her when she thinks about just what would ahve happened had they found out* Erin 12:47 am Erin (12:47:00 AM): Doc: the whole school was high! no one was going to blame you for anything! you could have said you wondered into the dorm by accident, if you were worried. no one was going to care! Erin (12:47:30 AM): doc: ... though, I will grant you, yaxley's a fuck. Patty 12:48 am Patty (12:48:09 AM): Marlene: Maybe people you know wouldn't blame you. But the people I know? Well that's an entirely different story Erin 12:49 am Erin (12:49:44 AM): doc: okay, see, now i just don't believe you. i've seen the shit that got put in the journals after everything. we didn't do anything special, even just amongst your super-special-Slytherin-country-club friends Erin (12:50:05 AM): doc: you are either paranoid or just looking for excuses not to like me Erin 12:50 am Erin (12:50:15 AM): doc: Talk Erin (12:50:19 AM): Doc: talk to me. Erin (12:50:23 AM): doc: whatever Erin (12:51:20 AM): the dancing lucius shots were fun for doc. he enjoyed them in particular Patty 12:51 am Patty (12:51:31 AM): marlene: Talk to you about what? What do you want from me? *runs a hand through her hair nervously* Erin 12:52 am Erin (12:52:41 AM): doc: I dunno! whatever people who snog each other for fun talk about. whatever it is, we don't seem very good at it. it's never really been a problem for me before Erin (12:53:21 AM): (he meant, he was trying to cover the "like" with "talk" instead, btw) Patty 12:54 am Patty (12:54:05 AM): marlene: Well I don't just... snog people for fun. That's not what I do. *crosses her arms and frowns* Erin 12:55 am Erin (12:55:13 AM): Doc: *is confused* What DO you snog people for, then? I'm pretty sure the whole point is that it's SUPPOSED to be fun Patty 12:56 am Patty (12:56:19 AM): marlene: I don't usually snog anyone, is the point. On occasion I might to get something from someone but not usually. Erin 12:57 am Erin (12:57:15 AM): doc: *is more than a little horrified* what?! Erin (12:57:37 AM): doc: wait, were you snogging ME to get something? Patty 12:58 am Patty (12:58:18 AM): marlene: Yeah, cause you totally had something I wanted. *glares at him* no you moron, that's sort of the point Erin 12:59 am Erin (12:59:22 AM): doc: *is more confused, but working on it* Erin (12:59:48 AM): doc: you're upset b/c you actually had fun when you kissed someone? Patty 1:00 am Patty (1:00:10 AM): marlene: No. I'm upset because it's you that I... want to kiss. And that it went all wrong. Erin 1:00 am Erin (1:00:45 AM): doc: Oh. *still doesn't quite get it, but is thinking on it* Patty 1:01 am Patty (1:01:35 AM): marlene: Not that you seem to be interested in that *huffs and looks away from him* apparently it's just a bit of fun to you Erin 1:02 am Erin (1:02:37 AM): :-P now she's got his attention, alright. Patty 1:03 am Patty (1:03:14 AM): she's a manipulative little one, ain't she? Erin 1:04 am Erin (1:04:41 AM): Doc: What, no! That's, that isn't, you don't - *sigh* That isn't it. I mean, YES, I had fun snogging you, that's, you know, don't mistake me on that, but... Erin (1:04:58 AM): Doc: I mean, it wasn't JUST because it was fun... you know? Patty 1:05 am Patty (1:05:21 AM): marlene: No I don't know *looks back at him, frowning* So what is it then? Erin 1:05 am Erin (1:05:38 AM): Doc: ... yeah, I don't think I understood what I just said, either Erin 1:07 am Erin (1:07:36 AM): Doc: *awkward head scratching* It's, I mean... I do like you. Like, LIKE you. But this whole situation is, I dunno. Weird. I'm not quite sure what to do with it. Patty 1:07 am Patty (1:07:57 AM): marlene: *smiles slightly* You like me? Erin 1:09 am Erin (1:09:06 AM): Doc: *eye roll, but a smiley one* McKinnon, if I didn't like you, this conversation would have been a lot shorter Patty 1:10 am Patty (1:10:08 AM): marlene: *twists her fingers as she looks up at him* If I didn't like you then there wouldn't have been a conversation Erin 1:11 am Erin (1:11:19 AM): Doc: I really, really believe that, oddly enough Erin 1:12 am Erin (1:12:30 AM): Doc: I imagine there may have been, like, a Look. A are-you-addressing-ME-peasant? sort of Look. and then conversation would not have been necessary Erin (1:12:44 AM): Doc: :-) Patty 1:12 am Patty (1:12:48 AM): marlene: Well it wouldn't be needed because I'd have the rumor mill decimate you Erin 1:13 am Erin (1:13:36 AM): Doc: *hand wave* I dated Rita Skeeter. I could have handled that. Erin (1:13:53 AM): Doc: All the same. I'm happier that you like me Patty 1:14 am Patty (1:14:01 AM): marlene: ... *looks mildly offended at the news of rita* you what? Erin 1:14 am Erin (1:14:17 AM): Doc: ... was this not the time to mention that? Patty 1:15 am Patty (1:15:08 AM): . Erin 1:15 am Erin (1:15:08 AM): Doc: well, there's another example of random me-facts popping into casual conversation, for the record. hey, do you want to get, like, food? or something? Patty 1:15 am Patty (1:15:31 AM): marlene: What, that you like to date slaggish harpies? Erin 1:15 am Erin (1:15:49 AM): Doc:do you want to do ANYTHING that will change the subject at hand, then? Patty 1:16 am Patty (1:16:21 AM): marlene: I'm not the one with slag on them. Erin 1:16 am Erin (1:16:45 AM): Doc: Rita's not a "harpy", she's just... uh. what's a good word here that isn't going to make this worse? Erin 1:17 am Erin (1:17:45 AM): Doc: and she isn't a slag. she's just... you know. Rita. she knows what she wants and goes for it. it's, like, admirable, really. ambitious-like. Erin (1:17:59 AM): doc: or. not. Erin (1:18:03 AM): doc: at all. Patty 1:18 am Patty (1:18:17 AM): marlene: She'd run anyone's name through the dirt just for the satisfaction of having got to! Erin 1:18 am Erin (1:18:47 AM): doc: ...this is not untrue, per se.
