Hey, how's it goin'? If you're listening to this, I'm either in the kitchen stuffing my face or off doing something awesome. And by "awesome" I mean "stupid and dangerous". But it's still awesome. Anyway, you should know how this works. Drop me a line and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm done.

Oh and uh... if the name "Haven" means anything to any of you guys, let me know in the message, okay? Please. [BEEP]

Wh-- oh. Um.

[Okay wow. Despite expressing his desires to have a girl friend someday, Wade's still not entirely sure where she and he stand right now, relationship-wise-- though she's a great fighter, which is definitely a plus. Doesn't mean the hug is altogether unpleasant, but it does mean he kinda stands there like an awkward scarecrow for a few seconds.

It takes him a while to realize she's asked a question.]

...Yeah, I heard. They're really pullin' out all the stops with this "bread and circuses" thing, huh? Tryin' to make us forget about the utter clusterfuck that just happened.

[Bianca has decided - unilaterally, as with most of her decisions - that where they stand is Cuddly Platonic, and she winds around him like a sisterly vine, entirely easy.]

Yes, well. Every good circus needs its clowns, doesn't it, my darling? Rey is really, genuinely upset about this. Love flatly refuses to take her feelings into account, and I - I need to sabotage this event without turning it into another bloodbath.

[She strikes a pose, and eyes him.]

Help me, Wade Wilson. You're my only hope.

[Funny thing about Wade. He's pretty quick with the flirtation and the quips, but when it comes to random displays of physical affection, his brain kinda has trouble focusing on things. Probably because it happens every few planetary alignments. It takes him a few seconds to remember who Rey is-- Bianca had talked at length about her during that one time when they'd made dragon enchiladas together, a time that Wade only remembers in the vaguest sense due to being drunk as a skunk at the time.

Still, something in her words shakes him out of his "pretty lady putting her arms around me" fugue, and the grin he flashes down at her is vaguely reminiscent of the Grinch's when he got one of those Wonderful, Awful Ideas.]

Heh. You just said one of my favorite "s" words, doll. Tell me where you need me an' I'm there.

I knew I could count on you. Picture the scene.

[She makes a dramatic hand gesture, and her voice drops into a compelling narrative singsong.]

The lights are low. Love is in the air. There's alcohol. There's candlelight. And just when people begin to feel comfortable - just when they feel as though they're alone in the room, perhaps - there's us.

I feel that The Ballad of Eskimo Nell or perhaps a Rick Astley cover - accompanied by Rey on her harmonica, of course - could be the perfect accompaniment. And no doubt the lucky couples would benefit from some wise words of advice. Encouragement.

[She's certainly taking this seriously. That's something he can admire. Always something to be said about a dedication to trolling. Wade crosses his arms over his chest, looking for all the world like someone discussing a business transaction and not like he's conspiring with a prospective partner in crime.]

Any other players I should know about or is this gonna be purely a Bonnie and Clyde situation here?

[She does take it seriously. Fun of any kind is a deadly serious business to Bianca. It's not that she doesn't enjoy herself; but she doesn't enjoy herself if it's not done right.]

Myself - Rey, and you. And perhaps Gren? I think he might enjoy it as well.

[ishotyouuu]

Heh. Not so sure Gren enjoys anything that ain't a stiff drink.

[Well, okay-- that's not the only stiff thing he enjoys, but Wade doesn't think it's really proper to kiss and tell.]

I'll extend the invitation anyway, though. Who knows? Maybe he'll actually surprise me an' show up to this shindig. Sober, even. Ehh, maybe that's asking too much.

Gren is one of those people who enjoys not enjoying anything. I adore him - so deliciously angry and volatile.

And I think he will like helping spoil things.
