[whatsinfrontofyou]

It shouldn't be possible to feel like you're dying and still be this bored.

[bigfootfetish]

Was it a bite or a sting for you?

[whatsinfrontofyou]

Sting. Some kind of hornet wasp thing.

[bigfootfetish]

You seem better off than most of the victims I've seen. Lucid, for one thing.

[whatsinfrontofyou]

You might feel different if you could hear me.

[There's a reason she chose text.

Though as far as lucid goes, he's right so far.]

[whatsinfrontofyou]

Not to meddle, but is your partner all right? I know we're all under a lot of stress at the moment, but she seems... out of sorts.

[Opting to be delicate rather than her first inclination, which is to say that it seems like something crawled up her ass and died.]

[bigfootfetish]

Hard to say. I haven't seen her in a few days.

[ Not normal! Really upsetting, to be honest! His voice takes on a slight urgency as he continues: ]

Why? What's wrong?

[whatsinfrontofyou]

[That is both odd, and somewhat illuminating.]

Not wrong, but when we ended up together briefly in the tavern she seemed especially, like... bitchy.

[Look, Vex's tact isn't infinite.]

That's probably not fair. But I got the distinct impression she out of patience with me specifically. Not that we've ever had a warm relationship, but as far as I know I haven't done anything to piss her off.

[bigfootfetish]

No, but I did.

[ A sigh. Is there anything worse than having to acknowledge you hurt somebody to someone else? Is there anything worse than having to acknowledge flaws - like, real ones - at all? ]

I haven't been taking things seriously enough for her tastes - she probably sees you as proof of that.

[whatsinfrontofyou]

Care to explain how I'd be proof of that?

[faithfulskeptic]

[ sometime after this ]

Mulder, it's me.

[ old habits die hard ]

Do you remember... when that boat sank, that case with the alligator?

[bigfootfetish]

Big Blue - sure, I do. [ Alas. ] Why?

[faithfulskeptic]

The why isn't obvious? We had that conversation about... survival situations.

[bigfootfetish]

We did.

From what I remember, you never turned my question about cannibalism back on me. Is it time?

[faithfulskeptic]

I was hoping at the time we'd never need an answer, honestly. Certainly not one that isn't just academic.

[whatsinfrontofyou]

Did you ever get around to making your kink wishlist?

[bigfootfetish]

It's not written down, but I've been pondering it in my downtime. There's been a lot of that lately.

Have you been working on yours? It was homework for both of us, you know.

[whatsinfrontofyou]

Nothing written down.

[Paraphrasing pointedly.]

But since we do have some downtime, I thought we might compare a bit.

[And also signal that she considers their arrangement still standing, if it's mutually beneficial.]

Let's say we trade. An item for an item, you tell me something you want, I can let you know if it's on my list, if I'm interested... or not.

And then I do the same.

[bigfootfetish]

Sure.

[ Simultaneously thrilling and dangerous. Mulder's intrigued. ]

What's your number-one wish, Vex? Top of the list, sexiest thing you can think of.

[whatsinfrontofyou]

The top on my list...

[Which is not necessarily the sexiest thing she can think of so much as the first thing she thought of, but still a strong enough contender.]

I'd like to tie someone up. Or down.

To a bed would be ideal, but not necessary.

Is that something you're up for?

audio.

[poleaxed]

[As though speaking through a phone:] Hello? Is this the guy having a public screaming match with Gilia Jones?

[bigfootfetish]

[ The laugh that comes through is bitter. ]

Agent Fox Mulder at your service. If you want to have an argument, you're going to have to get in line.

[poleaxed]

Calm down, Fox, I got better shit to do than argue on the internet.

You got a place to stay?

[bigfootfetish]

Mulder. Call me Mulder.

I've been at the tavern lately. Know someplace better?

[serpentigena]

[ there's an item with Mulder's name on it that needs to be delivered. Step one: find out who they are. Step two: contact them. Step one took a while, because shit is distracting and insane here as usual. ]

According to the label of this package, I have something that should go to you instead.
