Sparky Repairs, Monday

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

There was a sign posted in the window of Sparky's

PUMPKINS TO CARVE
HERE

Since they had already agreed to work today, they decided to make the best of it and do some last minute pre-halloween fun. They'd spread newspaper on the front counter and started working on the mini pumpkins they'd got, using some patterns they'd found online the other day.

Sparky's is Open~

Ranma sees the sign and looks in. //Oh... 's you two... What in the world are you carvin' pumpkins for..?//

((can you change him girly? I'd heart thatttt))

They look up and wave cheerily. //Hey Ranma!//
//It's a Halloween thing. It has a really strange origin, but now people cut up pumpkins and put lights in them to commemorate it.// Kaoru said, dumping some of a pumpkin into the garbage. //Wanna do one?//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

He walks over. //Sure. I have time. What do I do...?//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Hikaru points to the few other pumpkins and hands him an extra knife. //You first cut a circle outta the top like this.// He holds up his own and shows the removable top. //Then you gotta scoop out the inards. After that, you can either cut any shape outta the side that you want so light will shine through, or you can use a pattern and get a clean defined shape.// He nods and keeps scooping his pumpkin with a spoon.

Ranma takes the supplies and looks down at the pumpkin. He takes a minute and cut a fairly clean circle around the top. //What shape should I cut out of the side...? Is it... supposed to be something..?//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//A picture. Something you wanna see light up. Like a face or picture.// Kaoru finishes the scooping and takes a pen to draw on the pupkin.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Well... I guess I can think of something...// He pulls of the top and is a bit grossed out by the goop. But he takes a handful out and makes a bit of a face.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//You can use a spoon, you know.// Hikaru smirks at his disgusted face and hands him a large plastic spoon.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Ugh.. ya coulda told be before...// He doesn't look mad, he's just staring at his ick hands. He gets at the insides of the pumpkin with a spoon now.

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

They just smirk. A normal person would have asked for a spoon. Oh well. Kaoru starts to draw an intricate sun design while Hikaru draws a creepy face on his.

Ranma finall gets it cleaned out and, for once, is struck by a moment of artistic inspiration. He carves veryyyy carefully. For while it seems like the shapes mean nothing.

They both glance over in the middle of carving their own. //What'cha making?//

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//'ll tell ya after I finish...//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

They nod and go back to carefully carving their's, tossing out the extra peices that they shave away.

Hikaru lights a tea light and puts it inside to give it the full effect. They both stare for a moment. //What is it, exactly?// They saw the wings....maybe it was a person? And that spikey stuff off the top? Hair perhaps? Hmm..

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//An angel....//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

They stare. Click. //Ooohhhh. An 'Angel'.// Their mouth spread instantly into teasing grins. //Angels are so pretty, don't you think? And you made such...distinctive hair on it, ne?// Hikaru pats Ranma on the shoulder and Kaoru goes back to get him a towel and some water to get the pumpkin inards off his hands.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Q-Quiet okay..?//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//Here Ranma, for your han-// Kaoru holds out the cup and towel only to get tripped up by the sulking Emo bot trying to cross his path.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Ack..// Ranma looks down and continues in his higher girl voice. //'s okay... It was an accident...//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

Kaoru looked up at Ranma from his on-his-knees-tripped position on the floor and looks guilty. //Sorry Ranma..// He holds out the towel once he's up

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//It ain't a big deal...// He wipes his hands on the towel. //Say... can ya take this pumpkin back to the dorms later when ya get out of here? I'm goin' somewhere after this...//

[2-twin-devils-2.livejournal.com]

//Sure. We'll keep it till you want it.// Hikaru noted the strange tone in his voice but didn't ask.

[ranma-sao.livejournal.com]

//Thanks.// He nods. //I should probably get goin'...//
