[ See, the thing about basically being a space ninja is that Kasumi's reflexes are incredibly fast, and she manages to dodge Charlie's attack, all the while laughing. There isn't much room on the bed, sadly, which means she can't dodge very much. ]
[ Okay, well, that sure does hit her square in the face, but if Charlie moves the pillow away, he might find that there is no more face behind it. In fact, there is no more Kasumi on the bed. Or at least, it doesn't look like it. And now you know what one of her powers is, Charlie, asides from being super awesome. ]
[ Kasumi realizes what he means and chuckles, though she doesn't come out of her cloak, nor does she move. ]
Are you calling me fat?
Are you calling me fat?
[ okay, maybe she let him get her. Let. She pops back into visibility after the pillow hits her, laughing. ]
Okay, okay. I guess I'll accept being a real, solid person.

Yo, Houdini. Couple of things:
1.) Do you know when Goto's birthday is? Asking for a friend'a hers.
2.) Has she sworn you to an oath of secrecy, on pain of death?

About her birthday, duh. The day of her birth. I know you've probably had so many they kinda blur together, but it's that day that most Terrans celebrate with cake and candles or whatever?
You think she was born with the hood on?
You think she was born with the hood on?
Don't "duh" me. You in no way tied those two statements together.
And no, she hasn't, because I don't know when it is.
[ thaaaat is a lie, but Charlie figures Kasumi wouldn't want to spread that information around. And he doesn't know if she even remembers blurting it out at him when they were kids. ]

[ he lets out a whistle. ] Someone woke up on the wrong side'a the bed today.
And alright, was worth a shot. Her buddy was asking -- the dude she threw that party for a while back.

Yeah, figured it was worth a try, seein' as how you're her bestie or whatever. Her friend was just lookin' to repay the favor of the party she threw him, I guess?
[ ... that's. weird. ]
Uh, what did you have in mind?
[ ... that's. weird. ]
Uh, what did you have in mind?
This weekend?
[ ... it's. Too soon, he thinks. And he shifts the device from one ear to the other to hide the way he swallows thickly. ]
Not sure if that's a great time for me, actually. [ He says it smoothly enough, no hint of his nervousness at the thought of being in close quarters with Charlie again slipping through. He did, after all, spend a decent amount of time playing a conman. ] You got a time?

Pretty much all day. It's gonna be a barbecue kind of a thing. But don't feel obligated to come.
[ Charlie still doesn't know what kind of toll that took on their friendship, or if Peter will ever want to see him again. He doesn't want to push- in his right mind or no, Charlie did stab the guy- but he figured he'd at least offer. ]

I appreciate the offer. I'll-- see if I can shift something around.
[ Charlie's not the only one to tell lies this conversation. Peter's just not going to show up. Make excuses after the fact. ]
How old are you gonna be, anyway? Five hundred?

Terran ages aren't my thing. I add two and two and get twenty six, just like everyone else, bro.
