Book Haven - 4/11 - Friday

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir was testing his device today, until he could find Bridge of course for them to switch inventions.

He made it to the book store on time, put out the rest of the chili off to the side from the tea and biscuits, and neatened up the store before opening up. Then he settled behind the counter with a book on hand crafts to evaluate for the store.

Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

He was reading and nibbling on one of the cookies for the day. It reminded him he hadn't made cookies in far too long.

About lunch time, Andrew showed up with two milkshakes and a bag of sandwiches. He had planned to actually cook something, but the sun had been coming in and hitting the bed just so, and there was a stack of new comic books on the nightstand, and well...

"Hey," he said with a goofy grin.

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

That was a very happy surprise.

He closed the book and greeted Andrew with a smile.

"Well, hello. To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I bring the lunch!" Andrew said, holding up the bag and setting down the shakes. "It's not healthy, and it's pretty simply, but," he pushed a shake towards Liir, "it includes chocolate."

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

He grinned and slipped around the counter to greet Andrew properly with a kiss to the cheek.

"You do," he said as he leaned back. "And I'm sure it's fine. What kind of sandwiches did you make? Not with the chocolate, right?"

He laughed.

"Then again, I can't talk as the chili had chocolate in it. A mole twist, anyway."

"I made bologna and cheese," he said proudly as he pulled them out of the bag. He had even cut the crust off the bread and sliced them into little triangles.

"And there are some chips." Turning the bag over and shaking it produced two snack sized bag of plain potato chips.

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

He didn't know what a bologna was, but obviously its meat could be chopped up and made into a sandwich with cheese. He didn't have any objection to that. The chips looked very... brightly appetizing.

"Thank you, Andrew," he said with a nod as he walked over to the table to make a bit of quick iced tea for them Which was literally some of the tea with an ice cube and some sugar (as well as a bit of cold water) added. He returned with two cups of it and put them in front of Andrew.

"Drinks," he announced.

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

Andrew took a sip and deemed it, "Delicious." He had gotten the shakes and totally forgot about something more wet to drink. He would remember next time.

"I put mustard on the sandwiches," he added. "That's how I made them as a kid."

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

"I like mustard. What kind of mustard did you use?" he asked as he downed some of the tea. He was thirsty.

The shakes, obviously, were for dessert. Or so he thought.

"Um, the yellow kind," he said with a shrug. "Just plane old yellow."

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

"Sounds fine to me," he said with a grin.

"How goes your invention?"

Honestly, he'd spent most of yesterday evening inside his own head working on his self-training before passing out. Andrew could have pulled a horse from out of his ear and he might not have noticed.

Sometime in the early afternoon (it would've been earlier, but he hadn't planned on sleep being interrupted by certain evil, evil people, and thus there was extra sleeping in to make up for it), Bridge wanders in to the bookstore, a pair of what could be mistaken for ordinary sunglasses in one hand.

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

Liir perked up immediately, his own hand reaching beneath the counter for the small copper ball on a chain.

"Bridge! I was hoping you'd come by," he said as he closed his book.

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I meant to come by earlier this morning," he admits sheepishly. "But there was this whole thing with phone calls and pizza."

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"It sounds complicated," he agreed, having no idea of the sort. But as phone calls and pizza generally had little to do with one another, he assumed it had to be complicated.

"How have you been otherwise? You're welcome to some tea, cookies, or, er, well, there's chili as well if you'd like."

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Well, they do when there's calling for delivery, but pizza delivery does not usually happen at 4 in the morning, so complicated about covers it.

"Cookies are awesome," Bridge says. "And I've been... really really great. This Sunday is, well. Xander and I will have been together for a whole year." And right on cue, there's that dorky 'talking about Xander' smile, the one that lights up his whole face.

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

Liir smiled in reply, not quite so bright but Andrew hadn't been brought up yet so it made sense.

"That's wonderful. And the cookies are over there, on that table," and he pointed them out.

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Bridge bounces over and picks out a cookie or two.

"I brought my project," he says, holding up the sunglasses.

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

Liir pulled his own out from under the counter.

It was a copper ball with a pinprick hole on one side and a crystal panel in the back that would rest flat against the skin. The chain that held it was a simple and economical.

"Mine's here," he said, holding it out.

His other hand went out for the glasses.

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

Bridge takes the ball and passes over the glasses, which resemble a pair of simple black wraparound-style sunglasses, though with slightly bulkier frames in order to accomodate the needed circuitry.

"So um," he asks, turning the ball over in his hand to examine it. "Do I need to um- turn it on or anything? Or what do I do?"

Re: Buy a Book/Talk to Liir

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Put it on," he said matter-of-factly, "with the panel against your skin. And that's it. It should remember things along with you, through the pinhole at the front, and hopefully the memories will get the internal parts from the panel at the back. If there's something you'd rather I not know, just take it off while that's happening."
