Groovy Tunes, Tuesday

[furnaceface]

Jonothon didn't breathe. Jono didn't have little things like 'internal organs,' and so you would think that he would be immune to little things like hormone-pollen, as a result. And, in the most technical sense, you would be absolutely right.

Jonothon was also a being made of almost pure psionic energy, surrounded by people, not only teenagers, who were almost all feeling the effects of that pollen, and who tended to project their emotional states, sometimes loudly and very urgently.

Jonothon hated everything, ever, and was sitting behind the counter with narrowed pure-white eyes, a kitten in his lap, and very angry music playing very loudly.

The Groovy Tunes is open, and decidedly uncomfortable today, curse you all.

[Open and around!]

"You know," said Ariel, shrugging a bit and somehow finding some of her hair wrapped around her finger, "happiness and good moods. It hardly seems fair, if you only sensed all the bad feelings and none of the good. Especially since you're such a good person yourself."

//I've had the occasional good mood rub off on me,// Jono replied, after another moment's pause. //Not often, but it's happened.//

And when people were getting drunk around him, he pretty much invited the buzz in. Drunk, lately, was a welcome state of being.

//When I can help it, I prefer not to pick up on anything at all.//

"But I take it you can't always help it," Ariel said quietly.

And felt very glad for the fact that she was mostly in a good mood when she was around Jono.

Really, Jono felt very thankful for the same.

//Not always,// he agreed. //If I worked with it more, maybe I could, but it's not th'sort of... I mean, it's... I don't want to just...//

Mm, floundering.

//There's not actually much about what I can do that I'm terribly comfortable with,// he admitted, after taking a moment to reassess what he was trying to get at, while Joni licked at his cheek. //Except speak, I suppose. And even that gets people... jumping, generally.//

Awww, kitty licking his cheek. Ariel couldn't help smiling at little at that, especially as she pointed out, "Or perhaps just trying to keep in a good mood, especially in defiance of whatever bad feelings might be trying to get in."

Seriously. There was a kitten licking his cheek. How could any bad feeling in the world be more powerful than that?

Joni was absolutely a force to be reckoned with, and she knew it. Which was why, on top of the licking, she was now kneading at his shoulder and purring. Jonothon was powerless to resist her charms.

//Honestly, I think that's something that I need to work a little harder on,// he admitted.

Yeah, being chipper was not exactly his forte.

Ariel giggled. She honestly couldn't help it. Even if she did wish the kitten hadn't beaten her to the punch so that she could give Jono a kiss on the cheek herself.

"I think you do pretty okay," she offered fondly.

//I'm just a half-decent actor,// Jono replied, hardly missing a beat.

Hey, if he was going to be honest, he might as well go all-out.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Ariel was going to respond to that with just a very dubious, skeptical look. A look that suggested she didn't think he was being a very half-decent actor at this moment, oh no, and not then, either.

[furnaceface]

... Damn that look of hers. Damn it.

//You know. When th'situation arises,// he amended.
