[morethan084]

Yeah? Like what?

[Personally she doesn't feel it needs to be said in public that they are dating. She won't hide from it, obviously, but it's no one's business but their own.]

[hostage]

I mean, you ever try googling us? It's pretty wild. If we showed up at Fanport together, I think at least a hundred teenagers would lose their fucking minds.

[He's joking! ...Probably.]

[morethan084]

Wait. You're actually going to that thing?

[Also he better be joking.]

I thought it was just some sort of comic con but we're the people they cosplay.

Which is weird.

[Yeah, because Daisy's never done that.]

[hostage]

Are you kidding? Of course I'm going. It was amazing last year.

[morethan084]

So is this your way of asking me on a date to something nerdy?

Because if it is, I'm so in.

[hostage]

[Oh. Is she seriously into this idea? He laughs.]

Right on.

We're gonna have to go shopping.

[morethan084]

Well, yeah. I need to dress up like you.

[Daisy pulled her head back to look at him.]

You're going to dress like me, right?

[hostage]

Daze, that's for the fans. We're walking the red carpet.

You, me, and my stylist got a date with Valentino.

[morethan084]

...Red carpet?

[Despite the fact that imPorts were treated like celebrities she somehow wasn't expecting that.]

Valentino?

Wait, you're actually serious?

[hostage]

[Ah, that's right. She remembers literally none of their previous red carpet adventures.]

A hundred percent serious. Except - I mean, if you don't like Valentino, we can go for a different designer. I don't give a shit.

[morethan084]

I've never worn their stuff.

[Can you tell she's still trying to process this?]

Wait, did you just call me Daze?

[hostage]

You don't like it?

[morethan084]

No I just- no I like it.

Valentino? I thought you were 'jobless'? And so am I. Aren't people going to wonder how I had the money for a Valentino dress?

[hostage]

Nobody ever asks, but if they did, it's easy to say it was a gift. A lotta companies like imPorts wearing their clothes.

[morethan084]

Okay.

It's just-

A red carpet? Seriously?

[hostage]

You're a superhero and it's the red carpet that's freaking you out?

[morethan084]

I am not 'freaking out' I just-

[Dont look at her like that.]

Are you going to help me pick my dress?

[hostage]

Of course. 'less you'd rather do it by yourself.

[morethan084]

I mean I could, but where's the fun in that?

When is it again?

[hostage]

Next week.

[morethan084]

So, what? We show up dressed to the nines, they take pictures and hundreds of teenagers lose their minds?

[hostage]

All of that, yeah. But I'm also gonna be doing my healing thing. You don't gotta stick around for that, if you don't wanna.

[morethan084]

What?

Why would you do that?

[hostage]

Why would I wanna be "beloved miracle worker" Jesse Pinkman? Come on, it ain't hard to guess. Besides, it's a chance to heal people who're usually outta town. I'd feel shitty if I didn't do it.

[morethan084]

Good point.

I can stick around, if you want me to.

Unless something else catches my eye.

[It was a joke. Sort of.]
