I Really Have To Get To Bed Earlier

12:30 has become my new bedtime, and it's not really serving me well. Especially today, where I had to deal with no fellow "counter" coworker for 5/6s of my shift, then the DMV for getting my RI state id (luckily that ended up being pretty painless).
-VD: I'll be surprised if you sleep at all.-
I can handle American McGee's Alice! I like Alice! It's deliciously creepy.
-VD2: It's just -- well, in the trailers, it looks like the characters spray blood when cut.-
-VM: And that Mad Hatter with the gear sticking out of his back -- ugh, creepy.-
-OD: *lifts eyebrow* *tentacles chatter*-
-VM: You're different. Don't ask me to explain why.-
Ock's more badass?
-OD: *tentacles buzz* Badass? There's a term I thought would never be applied to me.-
Well, you DO dangle Biff off the Pleasure Paradise in "The Gift And The Curse." That's fairly badass. But yeah, I agree, you're different from the Mad Hatter.
-D: Odd, since you insist on casting us in his role.-
No, that's the HATTER. I call the insane robot in the game the Mad Hatter.
-TD: Po-tay-to--
Hush you. Besides, turns out I've seen Miss Alice before.
-VD: Oh? Where?-
BTTF.com show. Back in 2001 I believe. The BTTF section was part of a toy show, and I must have spotted a figurine for American McGee's Alice. The image stayed with me.
-D: *surprised* That's interesting. How'd you make the connection?-
Ever wonder why my "bad side" imaginings are almost always in an Alice dress?
-M: . . . Okay, THAT'S creepy.-
Yeah -- I watched the game trailer today, and it just hit me halfway through. Weird. Though it means I REALLY want to be her for Halloween now.
-DW: Suppose Alice!You is slightly better than Dominatrix!J.C.-
-Martys: DO NOT WANT TO KNOW!-
Oh relax, it's just a leather version of the cheerleading costume! With a whip I admit, but otherwise it's basically just J.C. in black instead of green and purple.
-D: For those without a clue what she's talking about, J.C. Jones, her Humorverse alter ego, has an alternate outfit from her "Doc Hunter" uniform -- a green cheerleader costume with a yellow shield on the chest and the letters FG for "Fan Girl" in purple inside it. Here's an example.-
Yeah, that. Imagine it in solid black, with black sneakers.
-MF: Okay, that isn't quite so bad now.-
See? I'm not so twisted.
*lots of muffled laughter*
Well I'm not!

Anyway, tiredness also meant a slow start with fanfic -- though I'm making progress on the NonTrilogy Drabbles88 prompt, and I'm working on more edits to "Strange Bedfellows" and "V.D." Chapter 3. Intend for both of them to be up this weekend -- hopefully Saturday.
-VD: *starts to poke poke me* Yes, you -- Wait. When did you upload Chapter 2?-
I do think it was this month, but no matter. I want to get through this already.
-VD: *grin* I can get behind that. *pokepoke*-
-TD: I'm a little more concerned about "Boy Genius." Due to the length of the chapters, and you liking to be at least a little ahead by the time you put them up. . . .-
Yes, perhaps I was a bit hasty with the "Boy Genius" schedule. But if I can't put up a chapter, I'll try to put up a Cutscene with Klaus. I need more motivation to do those anyway.
-H: Oh good!-
-RPD: *teasingly* Universe hog.-
-TD: I don't know about that anymore. She's slowing down now with the written "Boy Genius."-
-VD: She gets that way with every story. Don't take it personally.-
Yeah, I'm just a little "Boy Genius-ed" out at the moment. The OckDocumentary and NonTrilogy have my attention more right now.
-D: Ah, good to be noticed again. How goes my timeline, anyway?-
Gotta look up some stuff about Marty's band -- Marty does make it to the big time for a while in this universe. I'm gonna have to plan the remaining 1990s stories around possible tours and recording times. "Double Reflux" is cool though, as they're not discovered until mid 1991.
-M: *grin* Hey, works for me.-
-VDM: I've been wondering -- what kind of future do you see for me?-
You? Well, I see you with Emmett and Clara and the rest -- working as Emmett's assistant in the traveling electrical show and becoming a fairly famous minstrel too.
-VDM: *smile* Not bad, not bad. . . .-
-M2: We all end up in music one way or another, right?-
Yeah, you do. Even Narbonic!Marty, though his career is shaped by his inventions. I can see him inventing new instruments and note scales, perhaps pioneering a new form of rock and roll.
-VuM: . . . . I'm actually jealous.-
LOL, relax, none of you get left in the dust. I've got two other Ph.D. Martys, and I hint at a third in the X-Duology.
-VM: Dr. Marty McFly.-
I love it because it sounds like a non sequitir.
-M: Heeey. . . .-
