Turtle & Canary, Wednesday, 1/21

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Being from Minnesota meant that Amber was totally used to the cold and snow and the occassional power outage. But when she got to the store she found out the generator was broken by way of Apu, who (kind of oddly) was standing behind the counter wrapped up in a red Snuggie. Raising her brows she decided she'd just stay in her coat, scarf, and mittens. But wow, what a great selling item, yah?

Thank you, come again!

Talk to Amber

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

She's pretty much trying to keep her teeth from rattling by hopping around in circles behind the counter.

It was working.

"Amber?"

From the door. And holding a big covered cup of hot chocolate.

"Are you in today?"

Re: Talk to Amber

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

She quit spinning around. "Liir! Hi! I'm back here behind the counter!" She raised and arm and waved her red mittened hand back and forth.

He grinned and walked over, careful not to trot and slosh everything he was holding.

"I come bearing hot chocolate and soup," he said, holding up the bag. "What would you like?"

Re: Talk to Amber

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Oooh! You are a life saver!" Blink blink. "Or something like it. The soup! Isn't the snow so pretty?"

Re: Talk to Amber

He chuckled and put his bag on the counter.

"It's certainly very nice to look at. I only wish the buildings here had more fire places."

After everyone else, yeah, Cal totally knew Amber would be here and working her skinny butt off in the cold.

"What the hell is a Snuggie?"

Re: Talk to Amber

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Cal! Hihi!" she said, stopping mid-turn when he spoke to her.

"You totally need one! Come here behind the counter and I'll show you!"

Re: Talk to Amber

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

Okay, that kind of enthusiasm was enough to make Cal definitely not want to.

"Tell me what it is, first."

Re: Talk to Amber

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Aw, come on. But okay," she bounced, "it's a blanket! With sleeves!"

A beat.

"What color would you like? I'm totally buying you one."

Re: Talk to Amber

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

"Wait, wait, wait," Cal held up his mittened hands. "Isn't a blanket with sleeves just kind of like...a robe or a jacket or something?"

Re: Talk to Amber

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Oh, Jack was cold. But he was not stupid. He stared at the Snuggy. Snuggie. The pile of Snuggies. Whatever.

"Isn't that just a backwards robe?"

Re: Talk to Amber

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Hush, Jack. I totally think you should have one!" She bounced and grinned. "Wanna try one on?"

Re: Talk to Amber

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

'Uh, sure?" he said, not sure abotu hwo this whole thing worked. "It's just...a robe." He tried one on.

It was warm. And fuzzy.

Re: Talk to Amber

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"It's a Snuggie!" she corrected. "You should totally have one!"

Re: Talk to Amber

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"I dunno," he said, not taking it off because hello, warm. "I don't think it's right."

And it's not like there's a mirror around to preen in.

OOC

I hate being sick.

Re: OOC

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

omg Snuggies. As others can tell you, I hate those damn things. Is a blanket really that hard to use, lady on the TV? Are you really going to wear that thing to a football game?

Between this and yesterday I think I've made it obvious that I watch far too much TV.

Re: OOC

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

OMG I KNOW! But I crack up laughing everytime the damn commercial comes on TV.

Re: OOC

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

BLANKETS ARE VERY COMPLICATED THINGS, DON'T YOU KNOW?

Re: OOC

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO TALK ON THE PHONE AND BE WARM AT THE SAME TIME?! BLANKETS NEED AN INSTRUCTION MANUAL OR SOMETHING.

Re: OOC

[swipedthatfoot.livejournal.com]

AND OMG SOMETIMES THEY ARE TOO SHORT TO COVER MY CHEST AND MY FEET AND IT MAKES ME SAAAAAAD.

Re: OOC

[joan-notjane.livejournal.com]

I have a snuggie and it is warm and I <3 it.

But, um, it was a gift and I certainly know how to operate a blanket.

Uuuurk. take care!
