"Oh, no. I only know that song about dressing in leather, but I liked it. Now I just don't listen to the radio so I'm way behind. Unless you want Belle and Sebastian or Joseph Arthur or Kate Bush or something."

"I know exactly what you mean."
*Brandi was quick to clarify.*
"I mean, I don't listen to the radio. Just want people send me or recommend. But...well, I've been heavily encouraged towards Placebo. And I did their stuff. And the friends dressed in leather."

*Kris nodded.*
"Yeah, I get that. Like... me and Frank Black. And Cerebus."
*She bit her lip.*
"So... it's not like I live my life by online personality inventories, but what's up with the total non-matchiness?"

*It took her a moment to catch up with the non-sequitur, but when she did, Brandi let out a gentle laugh.*
"Nope, not focus-y at all."
*She smiled and turned to face Kris properly, lowering her voice.*
"I just don't think that the survey was written for people like me. There were a lot of questions that I had to compromise on. Like my real answer wasn't available, you know? But that test...it's really for people with traditional coupling values and let's face it...that really ain't me."
*She shrugged helplessly.*
"Does it...bother you?"

*Kris snorted.*
"Hell no. I just thought it was a funny topic of conversation. But I get what you're saying. I obviously have more traditional coupling values but that doesn't mean the questions all applied to me, either. Still... it came out kinda right, I think."
*Kris glanced to the side.*
"Are we hijacking Marijke's thread by being really creepy?"

*Brandi shrugged.*
"Isn't it like 4 am there or something? I can't do the math this late. And I think she won't mind to much..."
*She gestured at Don Juan.*
"I understand the power of a Depp."
*She leaned closer.*
"Yeah, and it was kinda on track, just not the whole way to my extent. It doesn't allow for the concept of loving multiple people. And that's sad."
*She shrugged again.*
"Besides...I floss, just not all the time."

*Kris giggled.*
"I know, right? Me too. The... er, flossing."
*She flushed red.*
"Sometimes I have a hard enough time liking multiple people. Which is also sad."

*Brandi felt the urge to wrap her arms around Kris protectively, but decided this might not be the bast place. Instead she just stood closer so that their arms brushed against each other.*
"No worries. I try to be open-minded and think for the best, but it tends to leave me open to people. And that often leads to getting hurt. You might have the better plan."
*She gave a knowing wink.*

"Oh, no, I'm open. Totally. Just oblivious and hermit-like."
*She smiled sunnily.*
"I don't get hurt, not because I keep people away, but because I spend a lot of time at home rather than meeting them. I don't mind getting hurt. I'm extremely bouncy."

*Brandi smiled gently and brushed the hair back from Kris's face.*
"That you are without doubt. In a most delightful way."
*She grinned and lowered her hand again.*
"Besides, staying home is a perfectly valid past-time."

"No doubt the full meaning of that will not become clear until we do so together," *Kris said with a raised eyebrow.*

*Brandi suppressed a giggle.*
"All right, you just let me know when you're tired and I'll make sure you get home. Then we can see."
*She leaned in close to whisper.*
"For science."

*Kris did not suppress her giggle, but nodded sagely at the same time.*
"There is much in what you say."

*Brandi sighed.*
"Now you're just going to make me want to watch it. It's like you're doing it on purpose or something."

*Kris pouted.*
"It's so your fault! You made me watch it! Then I watched it five more times in the last six months. Still your fault--someone who's an enabler!"
