not_annika[Annika, duly enabled by Edward Nygma, is now going to 'woo' Kay. She considered just sending it to Kay, but then Eddie wouldn't have known how it went down, but it would be even weirder to just filter it to them two and she knows that gossip is bound to get everywhere anyway, so this is completely public.
She's in a straight posture and has a piece of paper before her. She starts out very 'proper' or at least her version of it.]
My sweetest love, my Kay,
I am writing, er, eh, speaking, because I can hold back no longer. [A quick break of character to display her dubiousness, odd, because she wrote it. Back into it.] Our hearts intertwine like the ribbons of destiny and our love burns for you like the candle centre of my heart.
[Yes.] Your eyes are like the stars of fate. That supernova in my soul. [She's starting to crack herself up. This is why she doesn't volunteer for Professor X's plays.] You're like nipples to a seawi... [No, no, she's gone. Sniggering all over the place and a unladylike snort in the mix.]

Well I admire your bright, shiny similes there. Right down to valuable nipples.

Date: 29/7/12 06:53 pm (UTC)I uh... talked to Hunt yesterday. Was kinda strange. [He apologized for stuff.] So this bein' a love letter and all, I dunno. I know you don't write 'em often.
What if you found one sorta like this but serious. And ripped up like she wasn't sure it oughta be sent. And the person isn't really all that nice. But you know, she might just have a crush.
Plus there's a teacher involved.
Re: Private
Date: 29/7/12 07:05 pm (UTC)[She shakes her head, the idea actually scares her.] Girls fantasise about teachers. It's harmless because we know they're never going to reciprocate. There's no danger of responsibility, you know.
It's like how you don't... [How to broach this virginity thing.] It's like how you risk being bothered by that two-headed unicorn thing. And you're not worried about that. It makes me feel safe. [And that's seriously valuable stuff to her.]
Girls have to live with it, you know? Any mistakes, if we're found out, if we... make a mistake [get pregnant or sick]. I mean, the guy, he can get out of it, you know? Nobody's going to... [call them a whore.] hold it against him much. No matter... what happens.
What teacher?
Private
Date: 29/7/12 07:12 pm (UTC)Yeah, I guess I better. I mean, I don't think the teacher'd do this kind of thing. He doesn't seem like the type. And it was just thrown away and was layin' on the floor by the trash so she might have just wanted to send it and changed her mind. But I've been wrong before.
I- [He's line-facing.]
Maybe I shouldn't tell until I know better. Got two people that gotta live with it, like you said.
Re: Private
Date: 29/7/12 07:20 pm (UTC)I... would just like to remind him how that it's more than a potential fling.
[She shrugs, if he thinks it wouldn't helpful, she can take it. Man to man might be less intimidating, even though the idea of coddling the adult of the situation is a little off.]

Private
Date: 29/7/12 08:09 pm (UTC)Re: Private
Date: 29/7/12 08:12 pm (UTC)Come over? [Because there's only so much of this she can take over the network.]

Date: 29/7/12 09:09 pm (UTC)[He folds up the letter and puts it in his pocket. Yup. He's gonna keep it, even if it's written to be silly. Because that's the type of guy he is.]
I don't want you to feel at all pressured to ah... you know, get the unicorn off my back. And it's not that you're not pretty, because you're very pretty. [In personality as well as looks, which is a rarity here it feels like. As dumb teenage observation goes.] But I don't think I'm ready for it, either. I don't want the first time bein' me trying to sneak around at boarding school or out in the woods where I know the woods can watch.
Re: Spam
Date: 29/7/12 09:35 pm (UTC)And rushing it doesn't seem worth it. Even if we have to dodge unicorns for the rest of our time here. You. You are worth that, I think. [And she's run out of steam because feelings. Also, it occurs to her that there are things called 'vacations' but she's not sure she's quite ready for that.
Or maybe she is, a little.]
My parents are vampires. [Oh, brilliant.] I mean, there was something I wanted to tell you. That was it.
[You're such a screw up, Annika.] I'm fine. They were turned when I was six. I was there… but I got better. Thanks to Auntie Irene.
I'm human.
Re: Spam
Date: 29/7/12 10:24 pm (UTC)...I guess as long as they're good people.
My parents aren't a bit magical. But my dad's tough as nails.
Re: Spam
Date: 29/7/12 10:35 pm (UTC)He sounds good. You've never had a bad word to say about him. Possible warning about his cooking, but. [She tries to smile but.]
Re: Spam
Date: 29/7/12 10:38 pm (UTC)[He doesn't really offer more on him. All he has is good guy and kind of sad and lonely. But he's only told Narvin the sad and lonely part. For some reason it feels weird to bring it up to anyone else.
A lot weirder than vampires.]
Re: Spam
Date: 29/7/12 10:48 pm (UTC)[The hug is enough. She doesn't really need telling that he's sad and lonely. She just generally assumes everyone is. That's why she's drawn to the disaffected, like Eddie and Narvin and him, because they don't waste time pretending like everything's ok, just recognise that you just have to get on because no amount of magic will make it go away.]
Re: Spam
Date: 29/7/12 10:59 pm (UTC)[He's looking kind of awkward.] I told Hunt yesterday that I was expectin' to get kicked out. I've actually been for a while. But I've been keepin' track of the causes of all my fights. I wrote 'em down to turn 'em into the headmaster.
I was thinkin' about just doin' it anyway.
Re: Spam
Date: 29/7/12 11:06 pm (UTC)Particularly because Kay and the others wouldn't have had to get into trouble, if he was more approachable. The Headmaster gives her complicated feelings.]

Date: 29/7/12 08:19 pm (UTC)If it helped Eddie, though, then I suppose you can say that you took one for the team. [Team Nerd.]
Re: Private
Date: 29/7/12 08:30 pm (UTC)[Thumbs up, because even though she's only a part time nerd, she's all for The Team.]
