Turtle & Canary, Tuesday, 10/06

Didi was both sad to see Del gone again, and happy the visit had gone as well as it had. She didn't see her family as often as she might have liked -- it was interesting to see how she slipped into the big sister pattern even as a mortal.

In honor of her sister, she set up a special promotion:

He's very wary of the green mouse squishies. Thank you, come again!

She's there and everything.

Jono's fingers were getting sore from far too many attempts to play the same Bullet For My Valentine music for the past three hours. It wasn't that he liked the screaming emo music much, really. It was that the guitar solo in Tears Don't Fall was actually fun to poke at. That was his story, and he was going to stick to it.

It was his 'lunch' break now, either way, and he figured that since he didn't eat, he might as well make use of it to be social, instead.

//Afternoon, gel.// He nodded a hello as he rested his elbows on the counter. //Looks like we made it through th'weekend in one piece.//

Eras passed and the earth moved before Didi leaned forward towards him with a grin. "We did," she said. "I got so distracted with Del I didn't ask if you had a guest."

Del was Like That.

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

Del certainly was a force of nature, wasn't she?

//That's quite alright. I'm quite certain that if yer had the misfortune of meeting Jubilee, yer'd never forgive me for it.//

Well, okay, maybe he was being a little harsh, there. But Lee had been a force of nature in her own right, and knowing that Jono was interested in Didi would have probably meant an interrogation of some sort, at least.

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[living_endless]

Didi gave him a look. "She can't be that bad. Pretty name, anyhow."

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[furnaceface]

//It's a nickname,// Jono replied, shrugging faintly.

Codename. Whatever.

//Short for Jubilation Lee. And she's a bloody terror, I swear it. Cost me bloody near two-hundred quid on Chinese food on Saturday alone.//

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[living_endless]

"... how do you even eat that much?" Didi wondered rhetorically. "Is she the size of Professor Dukes?"

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[furnaceface]

Jono made a derisive sort of snerking sound. Yes, in his head.

//Hardly. She's practically half my size. Still a kid, in too many regards, I think. She was hell-bent on eatin' it all t'spite me.// And then he was smirking. More or less. //Th'fact that she spent most of Sunday revisiting it all more than makes up for it, really.//

The teens of Generation X were such a caring bunch. Really.

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[living_endless]

"... ew," Didi commented, wrinkling her nose for effect. "And Jubilation's a pretty name, too. Where do you know Miss Eats-all-the-Chinese-Food Lee from?"

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[furnaceface]

//The last school I went to,// Jono replied, still smirking somewhat.

Look, the only thing that made the expense and having to watch Lee eating for hours worthwhile was the fact that she'd suffered for it, too. He was allowed to be at least a tiny bit spiteful.

//She was in my class.// A pause. //It was a rather small class.//

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[living_endless]

"Oh, okay," Didi said. "You don't really seem like the little tiny school type to me."

Fewer people looking at him, sure, but that was Jono's Issues. Jono's personality seemed urban to the core.

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[furnaceface]

Jono was urban to the core.

His face, on the other hand, wasn't.

You had to make such concessions, when people took to spitting on you in the grocery lines for being a dirty mutie. Or trying to kill you for the same.

//It was a... somewhat specialized school,// he ventured. //Run by people like me. Run for people like me. I agreed to go when I found myself quickly running out of other options, luv.//

Jack needed something to take the edge off. Grape Judas should work. "What the...?"

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[living_endless]

Didi glanced up from her food magazine. "Anyone ever tell you it's rude to stare?"

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"But...Grape Judas?" He was a man lost.

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[living_endless]

"Apple Peter," Didi said, finally looking right at him. "Why are we naming fruits and disciples?"

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Because that's the flavor I like!" he whined declared. "Wait. You have Apple Peter?"

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[living_endless]

... and now Didi was the one staring at him.

"Apple Peter was a joke," she said carefully. "I'm sorry, I really have no idea what Grape Judas is. Mind filling me in?"

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"It's the purple flavor! It's really good." What he meant was: "it's the purple flavor, it's really addictive."

"So...what does telephone taste like?"

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[living_endless]

"Squishy flavor?" Didi took a stab, asking Apu as much as Jack.

Apu nodded vigorously.

"Telephone tastes like pumpkin, I think." She shrugged.

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"Okay...I'll try it. What the hell." Not like his day could be any worse...

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[living_endless]

Didi went over to the Squishy machine and poured him a large telephone squishy. "Let me know how it is."

Re: Talk to Didi [10/06]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

Jack took a big gulp and made a bit of a face. "It's like plastic and pumpkin." He took another sip. "Is that copper?" Sip. "Copper." Sip. "Want some?"

Aww, Jack paid attention in grade school about sharing.

I always kind of want to visit Delirium's world. It is trippy.
