Okay. I'm pretty sure (like 99.9% sure) that I'd decided my only relationship was going to be with science so this is incredibly awkward.

	And here I was thinking that exact same thing when I curled up with my Microbiology book last night. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Science is just so... reliable. It doesn't disappear on you or forget you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And it's conclusions are always so sensible and rational. I just don't understand why people can't learn a thing or two from it. It's a heck of a lot more easy to track than magic that makes you wake up married to people. I feel like this is an episode of Jerry Springer just waiting to happen.

	Aren't they? I really do wish people were more like science. Dependable, sensible, rational... I'm not... I don't even want to think about this because I'm pretty sure my current husband has a boyfriend who is going to kill me. I didn't mean to marry him. If I'm getting married to anything it's science.

I'm starting to like the way you think Mister science-man.

That's been my plan for years, despite my sister's objections to me marrying a textbook. ~~Something tells me she might change her tune after this mess~~ Or a Microscope. Or advanced cellular compounds. I mean, I see her points but people. How is anyone supposed to deal with people?

I'm kind of hoping we get passes on this because it seems to be whammying everyone all at once? Yes. Whammy. It's a thing in my family, for a thing that is not science and breaks science until we figure out how to unbreak it or it goes away. The scientific nature of the whammy is unknowable. But there are cupcakes if you and your not-husband want to come get some with me any mine? I don't know if mine is gonna let us sit still long enough for me to get more baking done, so supplies are limited, but I never turn away a fellow of man of the beakers.

	My name's Ray. I have an older brother. I don't think he'd care about me marrying a textbook or a microscope. I don't think anyone would so I'm kind of free to do whatever there. Oh, um, thank you but I'm going to have to pass on the whole cupcake thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mayday. Nice to meet you.

You're lucky. Some people insist I have to be social here. They're not wrong. It's probably good for me to do more of it than I do. I used to be good at it, once upon a time, but years being zapped away from your home universe and then dumped into Jurassic Wonderland kind of make it hard. At least there's lots to study?

Are we not a cupcake fan Ray?

Mayday? I like the name.

Social is good, I guess. I've always been kind of socially awkward though. It's kind of hard to make friends when you talk too much or say the wrong thing. If you were good at it before I think you can be good at it again. If all else fails there are a lot of dinosaurs to study.

We used to be. Then it got associated with something and... it doesn't matter anymore. I'm weird. I'm being weird. Cupcakes are great.

A good taste in science and names. You're on a hot streak.

Socially Awkward is my hyphenated middle name, so, I totally hear you. I'm generally the kind of person who can talk to and hang out with anyone, but knowing when not to talk -- lets just say I'm pretty familiar with the taste of my feet because I have to stick them in my mouth a lot? Whiiich is probably another example of doing just that but anyway.

Aw. What? Really? ~~What happened?~~That's awful. Do you have other things you like? And you're not being weird. Trust me. I get how bad things can ruin good things for a super long time. We don't judge at Casa De Parker. We also have plenty of other sugary options, like waffles? How do waffles treat you? I promise they're adequately covered in junk food.

I understood what you meant though, which is important. You and Felicity would probably get along. She's nice, smart, and suffers from the same affliction. Barry too. I think that might be everybody and I would say we should all get together and form a club but that sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

~~It was a good thing. It was a super good thing and now it doesn't exist~~ Yeah, exactly. I'll get over it eventually, you know. It just caught me off guard. I like waffles.

All the more reason I should be a part of said club. I'm a master of disaster. Well. Handling disasters. At least now that everyone's powers have come back. Plus I like meeting smart and science minded people so, if you know more, I absolutely wouldn't turn it down.

Well, I'm sorry for that. I mean I obviously couldn't have known, but if I had I wouldn't have offered. So. Waffles. We'll just say I offered waffles instead. Yes. That. That's the plan, and what happened. I offered waffles.

	I vaguely remember you saying something along those lines a while back. I don't know what's going on but it doesn't get more awkward than waking up in bed with someone you hardly know. Is that what happened to you? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	wantstomatter 2017-02-16 01:43 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, that's still the plan I just became less vocal about it. That's exactly what happened to me. I have no idea who he is, I didn't even realize he was here until part way into my morning routine. Did it happen to you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anewcode 2017-02-16 01:47 am UTC (link)
	Just so long as you don't shut yourself away from the world and solely focus on science. You didn't realize when you woke up next to someone? Yeah, it happened to me too. I woke up next to a woman and I don't remember how I ended up here. Even better we're both wearing wedding bands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm trying to avoid that. Staying away from undertaking huge projects without someone to pull me back from the brink and just tinkering with my suit. I've kind of accepted some things. I think I'm stronger for it.

I can be a little oblivious. I may have noticed but didn't realize anything was wrong. A woman? I woke up next to a man. And, yeah. I'm wearing a wedding band too.

How about I be that someone to pull you back from the brink? I can come and check on you every now and then and make sure you're eating and taking care of yourself?

That's some pretty serious obliviousness. I can only guess you were half asleep when you got out of bed. Yeah, a woman. Which is weird because I've never had a relationship with a woman or anything. Have you tried to take it off?

	wantstomatter 2017-02-16 03:26 am UTC (link)
	I'd appreciate that. I was half definitely half asleep but I can still be pretty oblivious. That really is weird. Especially if you've never been in a relationship with another woman or have shown any interest. I have. It wouldn't come off. It's stuck on there pretty good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Then I'll do that, when this has all been sorted out.

Isn't being that oblivious bad when you start messing around with science? I mean couldn't it explode on you? I've never even thought about it before, well not really beyond what everyone does when they see famous people but that's not really the point here. Yeah, same here, I tried all the tricks I know to get rings off and none of them work.

	Thank you. I kind of get overly focused on that stuff which is why everything else falls by the wayside. Like time, sleep, social interaction, eating, and showering... It's already blown up in my face once. Luckily, I was working on the shrinking mechanism on my suit so I didn't die. I was just small. Same here. Everything short of trying to cut my finger off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	anewcode 2017-02-17 12:24 am UTC (link)
	You're welcome. Are you telling me I'm going to have to remind you to shower as well? I can do that. Something blew up in your face? Maybe you shouldn't be left alone to tinker, in case the next thing that blows up doesn't shrink you but does something much worse. Promise me you won't try to cut your finger off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wantstomatter 2017-02-17 12:39 am UTC (link)
	If you remind me to take a break I'll probably huff and then suddenly remember everything else. Yes, something blew up in my face and the explosion was big enough for everyone to think I was dead. I was just small. Then I wound up captured. I promise I won't try to cut my finger off. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You are incredibly handsome... I mean. Hi. I'm glad your boyfriend kind of won't kill me. I didn't mean to marry you. Is there any way to get that number up a little? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Killing is pretty much what I'm designed to do. And also kind of my favorite thing. Just something to keep in mind if you're feeling handsy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wantstomatter 2017-02-16 04:46 am UTC (link)
	Your boyfriend is handsome but I have absolutely no interest in him. I don't know him. He's not a friend. He's not a teammate. I don't and, likely, never will feel comfortable around him. Me getting 'handsy' isn't a thing that's going to happen. With him or anyone else. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
