Turtle & Canary | Tuesday | 9.22

[living_endless]

Didi was doing about as well as you'd expect a girl who'd had the details of her menstrual cycle broadcast across the island to do.

Which was to say that, while she was trying to shrug it off, some part of her brain was inventorying ways to hurt the squirrels, Sam and Andy very badly. She'd already come up with 15 interesting new uses for the gum and mints at the register, and you don't want to know what she was thinking about doing with the squishy machine.

Turtle & Canary was open. Squishy flavors: Blue Raspberry, Lime, Red.

Talk to Didi [9.22]

If you must.

Why, was that a Jonothon, sliding a chocolate bar across the counter toward Didi with one eyebrow quirked upward slightly? Why yes, yes it was.

He might have grabbed one from the vending machines at the dorms before heading out this way, yes. He'd heard the radio broadcast last night, and he understood well enough that sometimes, girls just needed Chocolate, Dammit.

//Morning, luv.//

And if one wanted to get technical, this could probably count as his assignment for Ghanima's religion class, though he wasn't particularly thinking about that. He'd stopped listening to the lecture about the same time he'd noticed there was a spread of food.

Didi gave him a very skeptical look before picking up the candy bar and looking at it as if she'd never seen one before.

"Morning," she said. "...radio, or did you get random ESP?"

She was wishing for random ESP.

//Perhaps I just figured yer might appreciate some chocolate fer no good reason,// Jono replied, coolly.

...

//Radio.//

He couldn't lie to her, dammit.

A tiny smile crossed Didi's face.

"It's said worse things about people," she said, trying hard to keep perspective. "And ... it got you to come visit me. So maybe I'll quit thinking about killing Sam and Andy with a roll of LifeSavers."

Though it was still a fun fantasy, dammit.

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

//Everybody knows there's no sport in killing people with LifeSavers anyhow, luv,// Jono mused, offering her one of those in-the-eyes smiles of his. //If yer really want to make a game of it, try Skittles instead.//

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

[living_endless]

Didi thought about this as she slowly unwrapped her candy. "But lifesavers have the hole," she argued. "And the ironic name."

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

[furnaceface]

//Yes,// Jono replied, //but Skittles are British.//

And clearly, that trumped all else!

"... your patriotism is kind of adorable," Didi decided. "Do you need a Union Jack t-shirt?"

"Hey Didi," Layla said approaching the counter with an armful of packaged men's underwear. "How are you?"

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

[living_endless]

"Dealing," Didi said calmly, because that was about the best she could say for her day despite the soothing power of Jono's visit. "Breathing. How are you?"

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

"Doing all right," Layla said putting her items down on the counter. "Big project, so I've got lots to do. What exactly are you dealing with?"

It was a unique thing not knowing about somebody. For once Layla couldn't know what was happening with someone's life or what to expect from them.

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

[living_endless]

... of course the girl who knew everything didn't listen to the radio. Why would she have to?

"Oh, you know, life," she said, vaguely. "What project do you need underwear for? Do I want to know?"

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"Probably not," Layla smirked as she pulled out a. "Let's just call it a performance art piece. Oh! Almost forgot something."

She ran over to the pharmaceutical aisle and came back later with an OTC sedative.

"Anyway, sorry to hear your not feeling well about life. Anything I can do to help?"

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

[living_endless]

"... I'm going with no," Didi said, eying the addition to the purchases. "Invite me to your show, okay?"

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"Sure thing," Layla said with a grin as she pulled out her money for the purchases. "It's actually going to be in the dorm lobby tomorrow morning."

Jennifer stepped into Turtle and Canary, checking up on her little sib.

"Hey Didi," Jennifer said. "You, uhhh, doing okay?"

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

[living_endless]

"For relative values of okay, yeah," Didi confirmed wryly. "How are you?"

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Jennifer said. "I heard radio. Was more worried about how embarassed you might be."

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

[living_endless]

"Worse things have happened to me?" Didi said. "Or ... that's what I keep reminding myself so I don't go beat Sam Winchester over the head with a mallet."

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Maybe only a foam one," Jennifer said. "That might be therapeutic."

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

[living_endless]

"Definitely," Didi decided. "The squirrel thing is for real, right? Because I'm wondering what kind of pervy squirrel hangs out in the bathroom."

Re: Talk to Didi [9.22]

"It could've been a girl squirrel," Jennifer said.
