JGOB- Tuesday evening

Jaina had known staying in Fandom any more than a couple days was going to make things messy back home thanks to the time difference, but she didn't really realize how much. She'd gone about her business, part of which was stopping in at JGOB for coffee and something quick to eat. Then she'd made the mistake of checking her messages while waiting. And found that she had twice as many as she'd replied to yesterday.

So now she had decided to just stay here for a while, reading up on stuff on her datapad so she could get caught up on everything she needed to. It was really not an unfamiliar sight with her.

[So open.]

Howard had no idea what a datapad was. But he did know coffee, and that was the important thing.

"Mrs. Stark."

He thought he was clever.

"I don't think we've been properly introduced before we went insane," Howard replied, offering a hand. "Howard Stark."

"Now you have me hoping I'm not the exception to that."

It was the 40's, damn it! The 40's! When you could have a pencil mustache and not own a white van from which you lured kids in with candy.

"At least now I have a good reason to not get married any time soon," Howard replied, looking at the treats.

Because someone was about as culinary skilled as his not son.

Howard nodded at that being a good thing. "It could be worse. I could still be dead."

"Chuck?" He gave it a moment's thought. "Is that Charles?"

Look, he hadn't met the kid before!

"Is that a normal occurrence?"

Howard was just going to stare for a moment. "I really picked the wrong island, didn't I?"

"A quiet place to work," Howard replied. "Instead I've gotten married, died and found a child I don't actually have."

"Less than a month." At least it wasn't an active warzone?

"Or go insane trying?"

[identity profile] doyoufondue.livejournal.com 2011-09-14 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
That didn't help! "No wonder people are dying to get out of small towns."

"A certain charm to it?" Lovecraftian charm.
