12/28 written on the mirror in lipstick after george leaves the office for a while

[chooselies]

Finally. I thought she'd never leave.

[adaptiveimmunities]

[Okay, but that could be anyone. Shaun glances at it, then grabs the pen George had used for her own mirror messages.]

fanmail will be answered in order of importance and my interest.

[His handwriting is atrocious.]

[chooselies]

[Georgia's handwriting is, of course, perfect. She doesn't let any part of her that shows be anything else.]

Oh, but I'm your biggest fan, Shaun. I'm sure you'll want to talk to me.

[adaptiveimmunities]

you say that but, you haven't even asked to marry me yet. i feel like the magic is already gone.

[chooselies]

[How can she resist when he gives her openings this good?]

Gross, I'm your sister. Why would I want to marry you?

[Why indeed, Shaun?]

[adaptiveimmunities]

[This must be the infamous Georgia, then.]

Nah. My sister doesn't wear lipstick.

[chooselies]

This isn't wearing, this is writing. Also her loss. She'd look better if she did. And get higher ratings.

[adaptiveimmunities]

she looks fine without it. ratings aren't everything.

or are they. george.

[chooselies]

Georgia. And no, they aren't. Staying alive, for instance, is more important.

[adaptiveimmunities]

hey, i'm not gonna argue. i like a living sister way better than a ghost. but i think she feels like the truth is worth dying for.

[chooselies]

Well, she's not the one who had to live with the consequences, is she?

[adaptiveimmunities]

if you think i would ever try to take her choices away from her, you don't know me at all.

[chooselies]

[God, he's defensive.]

Not what I'm implying at all. I'm just saying you got a bum deal.

[adaptiveimmunities]

[Grumpy and mistrustful, you mean.]

well, sure. don't think i'd change anything, though.

[chooselies]

Not a single thing? Really?

[adaptiveimmunities]

why do you even care?

[chooselies]

You're my brother. Of course I care. I worry about you.

[adaptiveimmunities]

don't you have a brother on your side of things?

[chooselies]

Don't you already have a sister in your head?

[adaptiveimmunities]

[He pauses a moment and it takes him a second to respond.]

I guess George was right. You guys do pay attention. Don't you have anything better to do?

[chooselies]

[Not really, no.]

You can't blame me for being worried. Have you considered talking to the therapist here?

[adaptiveimmunities]

My standard answer for that question is "go fuck yourself." I think I'm gonna stick with it.

[chooselies]

[Wow he seems pissed.]

That doesn't sound like an answer from someone who wouldn't change anything.

[adaptiveimmunities]

Jesus you're pushy. Okay, fine. I wish things weren't the way they are, but I can't think of a single step in the process I'd change, given the information we had at the time, are you happy?

[chooselies]

Are you really surprised? I am still your sister. Whatever else you think of me.
