Second Shot; anon;

[middlefinger]

[if wynonna had any close friends here yet she might ask them but she doesn't so she's going to try that anon thing she's seen other people do and try to play it cool.

she'll probably fail and it'd be pretty easy to figure her out if you've talked to her and/or her boyfriend who is actually doc holliday enough]

so. say you're dating someone who is kinda famous. like there's books written about them. and say you know something like their birthday from those books and not them. do you do something?

and if you do like what's the appropriate gesture here? cause i'm kinda at a loss.

[has she ever celebrated the birthday of someone she's "dated" before? her own birthday last year was....pretty bad between curtis dying and the curse triggering and waverly shooting at her so it's not even like she has a frame of reference to work on]

i mean maybe they never told me because they don't want to celebrate. but what if they're hurt they figured out i knew and didn't say anything?

i'm really shitty at this.

[being anonymous? being a girlfriend? not being obvious? a little of all three?

it's anyone's guess, but that's it, that's the post.

ooc: if you think your character could figure out who wrote this and/or who this is about and would call them on it, feel free to do so.]

I wouldn't believe everything from the book. Some details can be glossed over.

( voice )

[middlefinger]

I hadn't thought of that. I'm not sure I'd want to risk missing it, though.

[tobelieve]

You could always ask him.

[middlefinger]

But then it won't be a surprise.

[tobelieve]

Would knowing what he wants not be better?

[middlefinger]

I suppose. He'd probably say I don't need to get him anything.

[tobelieve]

I'm not certain what else to offer. I haven't exactly had to do this before.

( Helena's very much a fan of the casual life )

What does he like?

[middlefinger]

Booze. Cards. Guns. Books. [wynonna hasn't done this a lot herself, or like at all.

it also occurs to her she could know more about doc's interests. whoops.]

His taste can be kinda old-timey.

[tobelieve]

I'm starting to like the sound of him.

( not at all because she's also old-timey )

And they sound like activities that you both could do.

[middlefinger]

He's a fun guy.

[to say the least. wynonna is largely not good at talking about her feelings but at least she's at a point where she can admit she likes doc as a person, that's something.]

They are -- drinking, screwing and shooting things are some of the things we like doing best with one another.

[tobelieve]

Hopefully not in that order.

( who's she to judge. the more danger sounding the better, right? )

[middlefinger]

Not usually.

[she can't claim it's never been in that order -- they did cut off having sex once to go after an evil witch and bury her alive.]

[tobelieve]

But sometimes.

( intrigued! )

[middlefinger]

It's happened in that order once or twice. [the first time they screwed had been right after she killed a couple of revenants -- some of the more sympathetic ones too. these things happen in their line of work.]

[tobelieve]

It sounds a little dangerous. And exciting.

[middlefinger]

It can be, even if sometimes it's probably a little foolish.

[they made out a lot in the zombie outbreak in alexanderia when they probably should not have been.]

[tobelieve]

( helena got a reputation for sleeping with half of london. who's she to judge? )

Isn't that what they say love is?

[middlefinger]

Whoah whoah whoah who said anything about love?

[wynonna, pls, the man is clearly head over heels for you and you are literally the only person who doesn't see it.]

[tobelieve]

( absolutely not helena. the only person she'll ever admit to having loved is her daughter )

Well I don't exactly have a reference. ( and in a more serious remark: ) You could just celebrate with sex.

( ... helena )

[middlefinger]

[wynonna has no idea she has a daughter in the future, which is perhaps for the best. as is the only person she really openly talks about loving is her little sister, waverly.]

Well, I kinda assumed that would be in there somewhere, it's what we tend to do most.

[tobelieve]

You mean you're supposed to celebrate with more than just sex?

( oh how times have changed. not that she's had such thrilling birthday celebrations herself )

[middlefinger]

Honestly? I have no clue what you're supposed to do.

[when was the last time she had someone she gave shits about enough to want to celebrate?? she honestly doesn't know.]

Maybe I can do something so it's not just regular sex...like dress up or something.

[tobelieve]

Dress up?

( what? the future was weird. hopefully it didn't take away from the actual act. her mind is definitely not on the sexy lingerie kind of dressing up )

Isn't that a little over planning? What exactly does it add?

[middlefinger]

Familiarity? I know the way we dress now trips him up sometimes, I thought maybe something closer to what he was used to might be nice. My clothes made him think I was a prostitute at first.

[tobelieve]

( helena would be laughing if the situation weren't so familiar. okay, maybe she's laughing a little bit )

And what is he used to?
