counterfeit

[onceandforall]

This. This is a good bar.

She does not mind taking counterfeit currency and she sells everything.

Bella is going to exploit the fuck out of that but first she is eating really, really good pad thai and finally talking to a person who is a) interesting b) not someone she has already talked to a lot in the last... several years. Lovely friendly bar who makes a lovely delicious pad thai! Bella will have to try opening that door at that moment again in the past.

How about less fabric? There could be less fabric.

[whatamithinking]

There could! This would be a positive development.

Oh, wait. Edie does have another piece of probably-reliable theoretical knowledge about kissing, and this is: you can put your mouth other places besides the other person's mouth. Like the jaw! Or the neck!

[onceandforall]

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

[whatamithinking]

This appears to be a successful experiment. She should apply more trials, to be sure the results fall within an acceptable margin of error.

[onceandforall]

Bella is a little too moaning to participate in science as anything other than the dependent variable. The happiest dependent variable.

[whatamithinking]

Science is fun.

[onceandforall]

So much fun!

If Edie will stop delightfully scrambling Bella's brain long enough to allow it, Bella will science her right back.

[whatamithinking]

That'll happen eventually!

[onceandforall]

Good.

Less fabric less fabric science!

[whatamithinking]

Oooh, science.

[onceandforall]

Also, the science is going well enough that Bella just plain picks Edie up and brings her over to the bed. Bella has been metaphorically carried away and Edie literally.

[whatamithinking]

Eee! That is unexpected! But a pleasant surprise, definitely.

[onceandforall]

And the bed is so soft.

And so are the people in it.

[whatamithinking]

Okay, well...it isn't possible to kiss yourself, but this is actually territory Edie has nonzero practical experience with.

[onceandforall]

Ooh.

[whatamithinking]

And, of course, there is Science.

[onceandforall]

Ooooooooooh.

[whatamithinking]

Hooray for science!

[onceandforall]

Hooray for replication studies by different experimenters on different subjects?

[whatamithinking]

Agreed.

[onceandforall]

Oh good.

[whatamithinking]

Science: Best Thing.

[onceandforall]

The Internet, space travel, and thee.

[whatamithinking]

Giggling. Possibly some more smooching.

[onceandforall]

Yay smooching!
