chaserkatie: Hey Oliver. So, I hear you got a new broomstick? *giggles*
oli_keeper_wood: Oh, Katie, it's fantastic.
chaserkatie: I saw it in action this morning. I'm quite jealous. *smiles* You kicked quite a bit of arse today, by the way.
oli_keeper_wood: Hey, thanks - I didn't realise you were there.
chaserkatie: Of course I was there. I had to come and support you. 
oli_keeper_wood: ::grins:: Thanks.
chaserkatie: So why did you name your broomstick Alexander?
oli_keeper_wood: It's Percy's middle name.
chaserkatie: *smiles* Aw Oliver. That's so cute. Percy is really starting to grow on me, you know.
oli_keeper_wood: Really? Hey, that's great, Katie. What's bringing you around?
chaserkatie: Well, he makes you happy. I mean, genuinely happy. I haven't seen you like this in...well, it's been a really long time. I mean, yesterday you were so upset, and now you're bouncing around like a kid, and it's all because of Percy. Anyone who can make you feel this good can't be that bad.
oli_keeper_wood: ::grins:: You're right. He's brilliant for me. And I love him with all my heart.
chaserkatie: Do you think I'll ever find someone like that?
oli_keeper_wood: ::thinks for a moment:: I hope you do. You deserve to.
chaserkatie: *smiles* Well, if you can find Percy, I guess there's hope that I can find someone too. 
chaserkatie: ...if you don't mind my asking, have you responded to your parents yet?
oli_keeper_wood: I responded first thing yesterday.
chaserkatie: Oh. I didn't know. Um, what did you say? I mean, I know you told them no, but how did you tell them?
oli_keeper_wood: I, er. I told them everything that's happened over the last few weeks.
chaserkatie: Everything? Like, what happened with Marcus, and Bole attacking you and everything?
oli_keeper_wood: Yeah. And everything with Percy, too.
chaserkatie: Wow. I'm impressed Oliver. That had to have taken a lot of courage. I'm proud of you. *smiles*
oli_keeper_wood: Yeah. ::smiles back::
chaserkatie: You did the right thing.
oli_keeper_wood: Thanks.
chaserkatie: Did you tell them about our marriage? *smirks*
oli_keeper_wood: Yeah.
chaserkatie: Wait, you did?
oli_keeper_wood: Yeah. And that I live with you two, and everything.
chaserkatie: Oh, I bet your parents are just going to love that.
oli_keeper_wood: I know.
chaserkatie: It will be okay. Really. This is all going to work out. I promise. *smiles*
oli_keeper_wood: I hope so, I just hope... I hope, for once, I'll be too much of an embarrassment for them to acknowledge.
chaserkatie: As bad as that sounds, I hope so too. Maybe then they'll just leave you alone.
oli_keeper_wood: That's what I hope, too.
chaserkatie: I really am proud of you. Maybe I can borrow some of your courage the next time I talk to my father.
oli_keeper_wood: I hope so.
chaserkatie: Me too. *sigh* I still haven't told him that I'm living with you and Alicia. I'm such a chicken when it comes to my dad.
oli_keeper_wood: Well, until yesterday, I hadn't told my parents anything. So you're not as bad as me.
chaserkatie: When we have kids, they're not going to be afraid to talk to us, will they? 
oli_keeper_wood: I hope not.
chaserkatie: No, because we're going to be a hundred times better than our parents. *smiles* 
oli_keeper_wood: At least. ::a beat:: I had a fantastic night last night. ::grins:: Percy's wonderful.
chaserkatie: Oh yes, I could hear how fabulous of a night you were having. *grins*
oli_keeper_wood: ::raises an eyebrow:: Huh?
chaserkatie: The walls aren't that thick. I heard distinct moaning coming from your room last night. 
oli_keeper_wood: ::reddens, looks down:: Oh.
chaserkatie: *laughs* It's okay Oliver. Obviously, Percy is pretty good at...whatever it was he was doing. I'm glad you had a good night.
oli_keeper_wood: I did. And we ended up sleeping up in our field.
chaserkatie: You guys are so cute. You're going to give me a toothache here.
oli_keeper_wood: ::grins:: I think you could have worse reasons for a headache.
chaserkatie: I agree. *smiles*
oli_keeper_wood: So, how was your night?
chaserkatie: It was...all right I suppose. I, um, I went to see Ron.
oli_keeper_wood: Oh?
chaserkatie: Yeah. I wanted to check up on him. You know, make sure he was okay after the whole...Astronomy Tower thing.
oli_keeper_wood: And?
chaserkatie: He's okay. I mean, physically at least. It was...it was just a little ugly. I thought I'd be okay, you know. I thought that I'd be able to see him and not get all emotional. But I was very wrong. *sighs*
oli_keeper_wood: What happened?
chaserkatie: Well, I just...I mean, I asked him why he did it, like what could possibly drive him to attempt suicide, and he just kept saying how he didn't want to hurt me anymore. And he started crying, and I started crying and you know how much I hate crying. *a beat* I wanted to forgive him Oliver. I mean, I really wanted to forgive him. I just wanted to tell him that I forgave him for everything, and that we could just get back together and pretend that this never happened.
oli_keeper_wood: But Katie - you were the one who told me, over and over, that I couldn't just pretend things hadn't happened. What happened to that?
chaserkatie: I...I don't know. I know that I can't just forget everything that he did. I know that won't do any good, and odds are, if I forgave him, he'd just go out and cheat on me again. *sigh* I shouldn't have gone to see him at all. 
oli_keeper_wood: :: doesn't say anything, just steps forward and takes you into a hug::
chaserkatie: *rests my head on your shoulder* *softly* I still love him Oliver. I don't want to. But I do. And I miss him.
oli_keeper_wood: I know. ::rubs your back a little, comfortingly::
chaserkatie: I just...I shouldn't have gone over there. I just need to stay away from him before I do something stupid.
oli_keeper_wood: Maybe you're right. Just avoid him.
chaserkatie: *nods* Yes. That's...that's just what I'll do. *hugs you* I'm sorry. Here you are having a wonderful day and I'm just killing it.
oli_keeper_wood: It's okay, K.
chaserkatie: *smiles* Oliver, what would I do without you? My knight in shining armor.
oli_keeper_wood: ::grins:: I don't know what you'd do, I really don't.
chaserkatie: Well I know one thing for certain. I wouldn't have nearly as much toast in my life. *laughs*
oli_keeper_wood: ::laughs:: Speaking of which, I'm hungry.
chaserkatie: You're always hungry. *smiles*
oli_keeper_wood: I'm a growing lad.
chaserkatie: Oliver, you're 20. I don't think you're going to be growing much more. *grins*
oli_keeper_wood: ::grins:: There's always outwards.
chaserkatie: Yes, but you don't want to grow too large outwards or you might not be able to get on your broom. 
oli_keeper_wood: Or into my new pants.
chaserkatie: Oh yes, and that would be a travesty. 
oli_keeper_wood: Oh, I know. 
chaserkatie: I can't believe you just dropped trou in front of Terence. You've got to warn people before you strip!
oli_keeper_wood: Why? He didn't mind.
chaserkatie: It's generally considered polite to warn someone before you flash them, even if you think they'll enjoy it.
oli_keeper_wood: But he did enjoy it.
chaserkatie: *laughs* Well I guess that's just because you're so damn hot.
oli_keeper_wood: ::laughs:: 
chaserkatie: Well you are. And you know it too.
oli_keeper_wood: ::reddens:: Okay, then.
chaserkatie: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to embarass you.
oli_keeper_wood: It's okay. ::grins a little:: 
chaserkatie: Are you still hungry? Want some toast?
oli_keeper_wood: Yeah, that'd be great.
chaserkatie: Okay. *heads to the kitchen to fix two plates of toast*
oli_keeper_wood: ::calling out to her:: I'd like chocolate on mine!
chaserkatie: *calling back* Okay, that can certainly be arranged. 
oli_keeper_wood: ::grins and stretches out on the couch::
chaserkatie: *emerges from the kitchen with two plates* Well you certainly look like the master of your domain. *hands you a plate* Here you go.
oli_keeper_wood: ::grins and takes it:: I am the master of the flat.
chaserkatie: Well I'm the mistress of the flat. Don't forget that.
oli_keeper_wood: What does that make Alicia?
chaserkatie: *thinks* The other mistress.
oli_keeper_wood: Sounds good to me. ::takes a bite of the toast::
chaserkatie: Has it been cooked to your specifications master? *giggles*
oli_keeper_wood: Mmm. ::grins:: You make the best toast.
chaserkatie: Thank you. *smiles*
oli_keeper_wood: Although, I hate to say it, but Perce is a better cook.
chaserkatie: Well, I haven't been cooking for that long, so I'm not good yet. And since Percy is good at everything, I'm not surprised. *grins*
oli_keeper_wood: ::grins back:: He is good at everything. He's absolutely perfect.
chaserkatie: Well then, he's the perfect match for you.
oli_keeper_wood: He is perfect for me.
chaserkatie: You guys are so sweet and so perfect. You're this island of perfectness in the sea of angst and sadness that everyone else is in.
oli_keeper_wood: ::grins:: That's what it feels like to me, too.
oli_keeper_wood: I have no underwear on.
chaserkatie: Yes, I realize that.
oli_keeper_wood: ::laughs:: It's mostly because I haven't got any clean underwear, but still.
chaserkatie: Well, how you wear your trousers is your business. Just warn me if you're going to drop your pants again, okay?
oli_keeper_wood: Right. 'Course I will.
chaserkatie: I mean, if you feel like dropping trou, I certainly won't stop you or anything. *grins*
oli_keeper_wood: Even though I have nothing on underneath?
chaserkatie: Yeah, sure. I doubt you have anything that I haven't seen before. 
oli_keeper_wood: ::rolls his eyes:: Thanks.
chaserkatie: Well I mean, I'm sure that whatever you've got is much more impressive than anything I've ever seen.
oli_keeper_wood: ::laughs:: That's more like it.
chaserkatie: *grins* Yes, if you feel an exhibitionist moment coming on, don't let me stop you.
oli_keeper_wood: I'm a full-time exhibitionist. You girls were the ones who said I had to wear underwear around the house.
chaserkatie: Well, I just said that for Alicia's sake. I know that she gets kind of weirded out by nudity. I think that if Alicia's not home, you should feel free to be as naked as you want. It doesn't bother me.
oli_keeper_wood: Great!
chaserkatie: Good. I'm glad we've come to an agreement on that. *grins*
oli_keeper_wood: Me too.
chaserkatie: This is why our marriage works. Because we think the same way. *grins*
oli_keeper_wood: That is indeed one of the many reasons our marriage works.
chaserkatie: *grins* I'm glad I conned you into marrying me.
oli_keeper_wood: ::laughs:: Hey, I'm glad you told me we're married.
chaserkatie: Well, I thought it was important that you knew. I figured that common courtesy called for a wife to inform her husband that they're married.
oli_keeper_wood: Yeah, well, you kept it a secret for long enough!
chaserkatie: I just didn't know how you would take the news.
oli_keeper_wood: It's you. How could I not be thrilled?
chaserkatie: I don't know. Your mind works differently from everyone else's Oliver. I don't know what you're thinking half the time.
oli_keeper_wood: So you do know what I'm thinking the other half?
chaserkatie: Well, I think that I can hazard an educated guess.
oli_keeper_wood: That's great to hear.
chaserkatie: I think I'm one of the few people who can figure out what you're thinking at all.
oli_keeper_wood: Percy can. All the time.
chaserkatie: Well that's because Percy's perfect.
oli_keeper_wood: ::grins broadly:: Yeah, he is.
chaserkatie: ((Hey, it's 2AM and I'm about to faceplant. I hate to run during such a fabulous conversation (Katie can't believe she told Oliver to walk around the flat naked!) but I need to sleep))
oli_keeper_wood: ((No worries, pup. *sniffle* No chatlogs?!))
chaserkatie: ((They'll be up tomorrow, I swear. I know, I feel bad because I've been telling people Saturday. Hang on a sec.))
oli_keeper_wood: ((*giggle* Okay. Everyone's hitting me for the O/P logs!))
chaserkatie: ((If you want, I can upload those and give you the addresses.))
oli_keeper_wood: ((Hey, that'd be great.))
chaserkatie: ((http://www.ktnb.net/lumosnox/oliverpercy080302.txt ))
chaserkatie: ((http://www.ktnb.net/lumosnox/oliverpercychessgeeks.txt ))
chaserkatie: ((There you go.))
oli_keeper_wood: ((Thank you SO much! *twirls you*))
chaserkatie: ((Whee! You're quite welcome.))
oli_keeper_wood: ((Have a good sleep!))
chaserkatie: ((Oliver with no underwear...oh the dreams I'm gonna have tonight...))
oli_keeper_wood: ((Ahahahahaha. Enjoy them.))
chaserkatie: ((Hee hee. Good night.))
chaserkatie: ((Hee hee. Good night.))
oli_keeper_wood: ((Night!))
