Jul 14 19:26:39 <Antichthon>	Cass-Callum <Hey, running a little late. Fuck, this is why I never wear false eyelashes.>
Jul 14 19:28:23 <Knave>	<That's fine. I can kill time. Refasten my tie a few dozen more times>
Jul 14 19:29:44 <Antichthon>	<Hell, now I'm worried I'm not dressed up enough. I went with my favorite outfit. You know, the one with the cropped vest with all the pockets.>
Jul 14 19:30:17 <Knave>	<I think I recall the one>
Jul 14 19:30:21 <Knave>	<Should I lose the tie?>
Jul 14 19:31:06 <Antichthon>	<And the short black skirt with the awesome leggings. I knew you remember those, they get you pretty damn hot.>
Jul 14 19:31:36 <Antichthon>	<Yeah, lose it. You know I fucking hate pomp. Just dress nice.>
Jul 14 19:31:58 <Antichthon>	<If we have to change for eating out later, no probs.>
Jul 14 19:32:26 <Knave>	<Okay. No tie.>
Jul 14 19:35:22 <Antichthon>	<Fuck, don't think we can start really macking on each other until after dinner. This makeup is a pain.>
Jul 14 19:35:32 <Antichthon>	<Oh well, more to smear later, amirite?>
Jul 14 19:37:10 <Knave>	<Aren't you always, sugar?>

Jul 14 19:38:32 <Antichthon>	<Alright, I'm ready. Come on over.>
Jul 14 19:42:22 <Knave>	Moments later, a knock issues from the main door to Cass' room. He stands outside earnest as anything, dressed as nicely as he ever gets in slacks and a button-up, sleeves folded to reveal just a little forearm. Coming through the bathroom just didn't feel very romantic.
Jul 14 19:50:40 <Antichthon>	Hex, dressed like a little robotic butler crab, opened the door and a breeze met him. Cass had set up some sort of high-tech fan, apparently. The air in the room was...different. Whatever Cass had done, that, combined with the breeze, made it feel like they were outside. Cass herself was made up to the nines and wearing her favorite outfit, indeed the one with the orange cropped vest, blue undershirt, short black leather dress with leggings, and a pair of hefty black combat boots she probably couldn't even lift by herself. The odd part being she was lounging in a beach chair with sunglasses on her forehead. A second beach chair sat beside her, a short table with a bowl of heart-shaped candies between them. She waved, grinned. "Yo, Cal. Come in, take a seat. Put these on." Hex handed him a pair of AR glasses.
Jul 14 19:53:53 <Knave>	After pausing on the door to take in the scene, Callum steps inside with a little automatic nod to Hex. "Well, you weren't wrong. You did have a surprise for me." With all the robotic stiffness one would come to expect from Callum, he sits down on the free chair and takes the glasses, slipping them over his eyes.
Jul 14 19:59:44 <Antichthon>	And suddenly, the air fit. The breeze fit. They were on a beach. A very alien beach. The sky was tinged purple, and the water oddly green. The sun was large and white, and the sand jet-black. Four-winged, three-eyed seagulls chirped through the air, along with the gush and fizzle of the waves. In the far distance, an island-sized, tentacled whale sent up a water spout. As for Cass, the AR had given her massive, anime-esque tube curls, the same blue as her actual hair. "Welcome," she spread her arms. "To Procyon Nine."
Jul 14 20:02:53 <Knave>	Callum looks around taking the landscape, the little raised eyebrow indicating that he's impressed. "Procyon Nine." He repeats with a little smile, which widens and flashes when he looks at Cass, "Now how many people can say they've been taken on a date here?"
Jul 14 20:07:12 <Antichthon>	"Two," Cass grinned. Hex, about the only thing not affected by the AR, stood beside them like a good little butler crab-bot. "I thought about giving Hex a skin, maybe replacing them entirely by an anime waitress with watermelon-sized boobs, but, hell. Hex, dressed as a butler, in real clothes? That's just goddamn adorable. What do you want to drink?"
Jul 14 20:11:41 <Knave>	"Uh, I don't know." Said Callum, a man who when presented with all the chairs of the world would likely decide he is content to stand. His eyes move from Hex, across the landscape, and fix on Cass again, grin goofy but subdued, "I like your hair."
Jul 14 20:17:55 <Antichthon>	"I know, right?" Cass beamed back. The volume of her hair was greater than the volume of her body. Seriously, those tube curls were as broad as Callum's arm. "Have to take advantage of the AR to wear impossible hairstyles. Anyway, I expected you to be your indecisive self, so I have you covered, love." Hex produced a cooler and handed Cal a soda, before attending to Cass to help her drink from hers. "I designed this world myself, by the way. I decided to go pretty goofy with it. I mean, come on. Skies aren't going to be shaded this color, and what the fuck are the odds some alien lifeform is going to look like a four-winged seagull? This is so like living in a 1970's paperback sci-fi novel's cover art, it's amazing."
Jul 14 20:22:58 <Knave>	"You know me so well." He beams as he takes the soda, relaxing in his chair. "It is pretty amazing." He agrees, though with no apparent idea that a sky wouldn't be that colour or that four-winged spacegulls are all that unlikely. Hell, Callum came from space and he didn't even have four wings. He sips, then says, earnestly, "Everything you do is amazing."
Jul 14 20:30:32 <Antichthon>	"Worship me more, I love it. Speaking of." The bowl of candy between them contained blue and yellow heart-shapes. And not those terrible Sweetheart candies, but //quality// candy. Cass picked one of the blues. Words, like holograms, hovered in front of it. "'I love that you're my conscience,'" Cass read. "'Anyone else would have given up on me by now.'" She handed the heart candy to Callum, expression unusually sentimental.
Jul 14 20:36:04 <Knave>	Callum looks down at the candy, tiny in his hand, "Cass..." He begins to blush, not the big hot flash from ear to ear when he's embarrassed or bashful, but a soft colour to his cheeks. So picturesque, Cass might wonder if she isn't imagining it - or the AR's providing it. "You know.. there's a reason I worship you." He keeps looking down at the candy, smile glued to his face, "I guess this is what that e-mail was about, huh?"
Jul 14 20:39:46 <Antichthon>	Either way, Cass was sure as hell taking pictures. And recordings. And all sorts of things. It was Cass, after all, her head was filled with gizmos. "Yeah," Cass nodded. "I didn't read whatever you put down, just fed it into the computer to put on the yellow hearts, so it'll be a surprise to me. Your turn." She nudged the bowl his way. Well, flicked it; it was too heavy for her to move from that angle. "Pick a yellow, read it to me."
Jul 14 20:46:40 <Knave>	He pops the blue heart into his mouth, making a brief appreciatory sound in reaction to the taste, and then picks a yellow heart at random from the bowl. His eyes scan the message and the blush pulses on his cheeks, "'I love that you're the smartest person I know, and you still don't condescend to me.'" The blush burns, and he's back to looking bashful, "I feel kinda silly. I don't sound as good as you." With a weak and apologetic smile, he holds his hand out to her mouth, to feed her the candy.
Jul 14 20:54:10 <Antichthon>	Well, the softness in Cass' eyes disagreed with him. "I think you sound perfect." She leaned in to take the candy. "Ooh!" she squealed. "I forgo' how lemony 'ese yellow'uns are." Don't talk with your mouth full, Cass. "Love i'." Cass picked out the next blue, and cackled before even reading it. "'I love the collar you got me. Seriously. I fucking adore it.'" Cass jingled said collar and handed Callum the heart, giggling. Her frail little arms could only reach halfway. "I haven't taken it off myself, not even once. Not even to shower. Never will."
Jul 14 21:02:51 <Knave>	Callum takes the candy, smiling, "That's good to hear. And strangely adorable." He eats the candy with a reassured smile, then reaches over to get her a second one, "Not unlike you." He looks at the yellow heart in his hand and reads, "'I love that you have more faith in me than I have in myself. It makes me stand a little taller when you're around.'" He presents it to her, face of the candy visible, looking a little proud and a lot earnest.
Jul 14 21:11:22 <Antichthon>	"Pssh. Bitch, I'm not strangely adorable, I'm the definition of it. Especially with these great curls." She bounce her digitial hair in her hands and snickered more. Her expression quickly turned heartfelt at Callum's next words. "Awww. I have the sweetest fucking boyfriend ever." She took the candy in her mouth, turned it around with her tongue and displayed it between her teeth. "Sherioushly, yer downrigh' shaccharine." Chew, gulp, next heart. "'I love your country bumpkin-ness, and your plain wisdom that never ceases to amaze me.'" She tossed the candy to him in a high arc.
Jul 14 21:17:56 <Knave>	He reaches up and snatches it out of the air, chews it with a grin, "Incidentally, I love that you can do that with your mouth." He plucks a fresh heart, and hesitates upon reading it, turning his cocky grin into a more sober smile, "'I love that you trust me not to hurt you.'" He offers the candy to her in an open palm, but near enough to her mouth that she doesn't have to use her hands.
Jul 14 21:26:08 <Antichthon>	Cass shrugged. "What can I say, you give my mouth plenty of exercise." She licked up the offered candy, making sure to get plenty of saliva on Callum's hand. "And ash much ash I trusht you no' to hurt me," Chew, gulp, "I hope one of these days you will, because you know I want it." Cass picked out the next heart. "'I love your ass. You have a fucking sweet ass.'" She tossed the candy in a high arc again, aiming for his mouth, and missing. "Ah, damnit. Robbed."
Jul 14 21:32:27 <Knave>	Callum's grin on his big, honest face refuses to leave and fits perfectly, a million miles from the odd and jerky expressions he pulled when he first came to Sunnybrook. "Well, it's a good thing I don't love you for your aim, huh?" Idly, he licks some of the saliva off his fingers as he picks up another candy in his off hand, "'I love that you make me laugh. Nobody's witty like you are.'" He telegraphs a throw by winding it up like a darts player, then gently tosses the candy in a slight arc for Cass' mouth.
Jul 14 21:39:23 <Antichthon>	"Hey, my aim's perfect," Cass huffed. "It's just that these bony twigs I call arms won't do what I tell them to." Cass tried to catch the candy, but it bounced off her nose and landed on her stomach. She quickly put it in her mouth and acted like it didn't miss, raising her arms in cheer. "Score! And the gulls go wild!" The sound of clapping surrounded them like a two-bit sitcom. Oh, the amazing advantages of brain-computer interfaces. Next heart. "'I love gagging on you.'" Cassgrin. "'And your milk, even though it tastes like slimy pool water.'" Toss.
Jul 14 21:45:37 <Knave>	Callum makes like a dog to catch it in his mouth, and ends up bouncing it off his chin, then having to grab it out of the air. He gives Cass a silly grin, "We can't all be perfect, I guess." and throws the candy into his own mouth. Another candy, and a wicked grin spreads over his face. He reads slowly, taking joy in every syllable, "'I love every inch of your tiny, frail, beautiful body.'" He holds the candy out to her,
Jul 14 21:45:37 <Knave>	"You want this now, or should I read it again but slower?"
Jul 14 21:47:41 <Antichthon>	Cass melted at that, visibly. Not literally though, as much as she could have made it seem like it in this AR universe. She put her hand to her chest, and yes, her eyes got a bit dewy. "Option two, please."
Jul 14 21:50:17 <Knave>	"I," He says proudly, not bothering to take the candy back so he can read it, "That's me, Callum Ellis. I love ev-er-y inch of your - that's you, Cass Walker-Handal - I love every inch of your tiny, frail, beautiful body." He pulls the candy back just to kiss it, then gently presses it to Cass' lips.
Jul 14 21:53:00 <Antichthon>	And Cass let it penetrate her lips, slow and sensual. She took the time to savor this one. "If I eat any more of these," she whispered, "I'm going to spoil my appetite."
Jul 14 21:55:53 <Knave>	"Guess I should stop feeding you then," Callum says absently, "But you're just so cute, I just want to give you treats all day." He leans his head on his hand, looking at her with adoring eyes.
Jul 14 22:00:29 <Antichthon>	Hex helped Cass roll onto her side to mimic Callum. "Don't worry, I'm looking forward to the sweetest of your treats tonight. We can save these for later." Gesture to the candy bowl. "The text only shows up in AR, sad to say. Just think how tiny the text would have to be to fit on these buggers traditionally." Cass checked her nails, painted blue like her hair. "Where are we going tonight anyway, Stallion?"
Jul 14 22:04:47 <Knave>	"Well, uh, I was thinking maybe the pub in town. The Fox and the Hound, I think it's called?" It's evident that the idea of being in charge still hasn't sunk in, the way he nervously presents it, "Or maybe the Italian restaurant, if you'd prefer." He rubs the back of his neck, blushing, "It's your choice, I guess."
Jul 14 22:10:48 <Antichthon>	"Oh no, you aren't getting out of this," Cass said with an impish grin. "You're the master, I'm the pet. I'll get that through your thick, adorable skull eventually. Today's training: //You// decide where to go, what to do, and what to do with me, and //I// don't get any choice in the matter. So. Where are we going?"
Jul 14 22:14:28 <Knave>	"All right." He says, uncertain but clearly trying, "Then we'll go to the pub, how-" He stops himself, then corrects as if he meant to say from the start, "and I won't ask how that sounds to you because it doesn't matter because I already made up my mind." He grins at the joke of his own being, "Then after maybe we'll take a walk. Depending on how I feel."
Jul 14 22:16:42 <Antichthon>	"Oh, I don't know," Cass mused. "That Italian place sounds awfully good..." She fixed her gaze on Callum, watching.
Jul 14 22:18:15 <Knave>	"Well in that case," He says, leaning back with a triumphant smile and crossing his arms behind his head, "If you behave yourself, maybe I will take you there another day."
Jul 14 22:21:36 <Antichthon>	Cass grinned. "Not bad. I'll take it." She leaned back as well. "For now, relax and enjoy having the best girlboyfriend in the cosmos."
Jul 14 22:25:32 <Knave>	He sits in enjoyment for a few moments, eyes briefly closed before he remembers that the sights were specifically designed for him to enjoy. Then he says, "You really are, you know."
Jul 14 22:27:36 <Antichthon>	Cass winked. "Damn straight."
Jul 14 22:28:55 <Knave>	-Scene sweet-
