Behind the restaurants in town, Sunday morning

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair surveyed the garbage cans by the back door of Ching Tai and made sure the plastic bag covering his cast was tight. "Okay, Jude. We're looking for any kind of bones. The less...um...other stuff they have on them, the better."

"Oh, I brought you a helmet to protect your head. Just in case trash falls on it or people start coming after us for digging in their trash." Blair bounced and tapped his own helmet. "Gotta be prepared for anything!"


[ooc: open for interaction. We'll be hitting up other restaurants trash too.]

Jude took the helmet and strapped it on. Over the tuque, of course.

He nodded. "Right. Bones." He eyed the trashcans. "Dude, this is kinda manky . . ."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"If manky means smelly..." Blair took off the lid of the nearest can and stared at the remnants of food. "..then it really is."

"I guess we should just jump in. In a non-literal sense, of course." With that, Blair plunged his hand into the garbage.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Uh huh."

Jude really shouldn't be so squeamish, considering the conditions of the Stick It before it was closed for health code violations.

With a dramatic flourish, like revealing the first course of a fancy dinner, Jude pulled the lid off another can and began rifling through.

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"This." Blair put his hand through some wet. "Can only." Squish. "Should really." Squelch. "Get me extra credit."

"Oh!" He pulled up something and flourished it at Jude. "Does that look like a bone?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude leaned closer, his nose wrinkling in concentration. "Uh, no, bro. Looks like exoskeleton."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Crap." Blair tossed it onto the spare trash can and dug deeper. "Man, this is a lot of food. I'm torn between being happy because it makes this job easier and wanting to set up some sort of food recycling program to benefit the homeless."

"Do we have homeless here?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Don't think so, bro," Jude replied, tugging at something promising. "Maybe those two guys who hang around in front of the Kwik Stop?"

As the boys drove up to Cafe Fina, they might have seen Alfred supervising Wadsworth throwing a final bag of trash into the dumpster.

"Hello boys. What are you up to?"

_{[[I run out to be all religious now. Back soon!]]}

Jude, hanging a right as instructed, clattered to a halt and hoped Blair wouldn't crash into him. "Uh, hi Mr. Pennyworth. We're looking for bones."

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

There was a clatter as Blair skidded to avoid Jude and thumped against the dumpster. "Not creepy though. Do you mind if we look through your trash?"

[badassbutler.livejournal.com]

Alfred shrugged. "As long as you don't make too much of a mess, I don't see why not. Why are you looking for what I hope are animal bones?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Thanks!" Blair bounced forward. "It's for my prophecy course. We're doing a project on cleromancy."

"I'm hoping it's animal bones too, man. Unless Cafe Fina serves some weird stuff."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"I thought I found an arm at Ching Tai," Jude put in, not at all helpfully. "I don't have a project. I'm just helping."

Luke's

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude turned into the alleyway behind Luke's and would have tried to grind along the edge of the dumpster if he hadn't been towing Blair behind him. "Alright, dude, I know we were doing a lot of pork chops a couple days ago."

Re: Luke's

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Great!" Blair dropped the rope and looked at the dumpster. "Or possibly ew. A couple of days old pork leftovers is going to be gross."

Re: Luke's

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Shouldn't be too bad," Jude grunted as he scaled the side of the dumpster and peered over the edge. "Some people really clean those suckers off."

Re: Luke's

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

Blair looked at his cast and up at Jude and then back down at his cast. "Man, I have discovered the reason that dumpster diving is a two-handed sport. I don't know if I can climb up there."

Re: Luke's

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"I to - oh - oh - WHOA!" Windmilling frantically, Jude overbalanced into the dumpster, landing with a crunch and a clang. "Haaaaaarsh . . ."

Re: Luke's

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Jude!" Blair yelped and tried to bounce high enough to see over the dumpster. Which was not very high. He gave up and placed an ear against the side.

"You okay, man?"

The clinic

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Dude, you're totally getting the hang of this," Jude called back to Blair as he towed him around the corner of the building.

Re: The clinic

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"It's the only way to ride." Blair called out as he got pulled around the building.

"I think we need to be super sneaky. I'm pretty sure that stealing bones from clinic trash is not good."

Re: The clinic

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude nodded, slowing down. He dropped his voice. "Good thing I've got ninja training from Mr. Pennyworth."

Re: The clinic

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Seriously?" Blair grinned and looked around. "Do you think the trash cans took ninja training too? Cause I'm not seeing them around here."

Re: The clinic

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I wasn't very good at it, though." See: dumpster debacle at Luke's. "But the trash is."

Re: The clinic

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"Ninja trash." Blair shook his head. "Only in Fandom."
