The Perk, Monday Morning

[intraspective]

After first period, and it's final, Ino wandered down to the Perk craving hot chocolate. She wound up with one that also had peppermint in it. Ino was starting to think that getting exactly what she wanted from the staff here was a lost cause.

Well. At least peppermint was better than caramel.

She settled down in a comfortable chair to study for her other finals. Sure, she didn't have to take the next one until Thursday, but still.

Oh look! There was Jamie again.

"Oh! Hi! Fancy meeting you here. Do you mind if I ask you a follow up question?"

[intraspective]

Ino looked wary, "Depends on what the question is."

"What are your feelings on ketchup? Overrated or just a watered down salsa?"

[intraspective]

"... is there a point to these questions?" Ino asked, sipping her hot chocolate, "But, if you really want an answer, I think it's overrated."

"Of course there's a point!" Jamie said pulling out a notebook and making a notation.

Actually it was a doodle of a duck but that's beside the point.

"If someone doesn't ask these questions, who will? Really it's for the betterment of society."

[intraspective]

"How will knowing my opinion on ketchup help with the betterment of society?"

"It just does!" Jamie flailed. "Are you doubting me?"

[intraspective]

"Yes," Ino admitted cheerfully, "but surely you must be used to that by now? And 'it just does' is not a good answer, honestly."

"Yes it is!" Jamie said stamping his foot. "Don't make fun of me!"

[intraspective]

"I can't help it!" Ino protested, "How am I supposed to take these questions seriously?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"There's no such thing as a un-serious question!" Jamie replied. "The condiment industry may rely on these answers!"

[intraspective]

"Are you getting paid for this?" She was actually curious about it, "Or is this just something you thought up on your own?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Are you suggesting I'd take a pay off from the condiment industry!" Jamie said angrily. "How dare you!"

[intraspective]

"Well, what am I supposed to think? It's more likely than doing it out of the goodness of your heart." Ino said, sipping her drink.

"PEOPLE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND ME!" Jamie shouted as he stomped away.
