It’s day two of the Blogfest hosted over at Live to Write…Edit When Necessary<\/a> and Reading, Writing, and Lovin’ It<\/a>! Today’s challenge is:<\/p>\n

“Dialogue Introduction<\/i><\/b>: Have two characters introduce each other using only dialogue\u2014no backstory, no internalization, just dialogue between the two. Max 250 words.<\/span> “<\/p>\n

All I’m going to do to introduce this is tell you that I’m using “CROSS\/\/” characters Danielle Cromwell<\/a> and Miranda Hotler, <\/a>because if you ask me to write an interaction scene, it has to be them. (Also, warning: they swear like the sailors they could be, but no slurs.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
If I showed you the actual “best screencap ever” of them, I would be spoiling everything.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cIt appears that we have company.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cGood. Maybe they can distract you from me.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cHow rude. I was merely keeping you company.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI never asked for your company. Hey, why aren\u2019t you looking at me? What are they saying?\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cHm? Oh, they were wondering if we could introduce each other.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cHa! You go on ahead, I need a drink first.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cAll right. Well, the one quaffing her beer here is Danielle.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not even good beer, honestly.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s a bit stubborn. And insubordinate towards me.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cPfft. Like you deserve better.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cWell, go on. It\u2019s your turn now.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cEh? Hm. Well this one who is\u2026smoking. Really? You have to smoke now<\/i>?\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a free country, so says we in the military.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cThis one destroying my lungs with second-hand smoke<\/i> is Miranda. If I\u2019m insubordinate, then she\u2019s insufferable.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cYou left out the part where I\u2019m your commanding officer.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cNo, what I left out is the part where you\u2019re always trying to conduct special ops. missions into the dark recesses of my pussy.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cSubtle.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s true<\/i> though! I\u2019m telling you! Even though she\u2019s my commanding officer, and I\u2019ve already told her no, she still comes on to me like tigers onto meat.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cFace it, Danielle, you only say no because<\/i> I\u2019m your commanding officer.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cFucking you would be unprofessional. And stop smiling.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cStop drinking.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cStop smoking!\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cSee how she treats her commanding officer?\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cGo fuck yourself!\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI would love to, but I\u2019m afraid that would be rather, ah\u2026unprofessional<\/i>.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cFucking lesbians.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI always try.\u201d<\/div>\n
