Stark Industries [all day]

Ben was back for his last shift at his job and was making the most of his time (and his last paycheck) by putting together a small mountain pile of electronics that he was going to take with him when he left.

You know, just in case he needed them in space with Ender.

He'd just started feeling a little bit maudlin about things coming to an end and how much he'd miss it here when kumquats rained down from the ceiling.

...maybe he wouldn't miss it all.

Getting smacked on the top of his head by a kumquat while poking his head into the store was not, technically, the most impressive moment of Ender's life. "Kuso--!"

"Does the island hold a grudge?" Ender asked, apropos of... everything, and glanced up at the ceiling before he slipped in. "I'm going to need more than an umbrella for this."

Ender snorted, but he pulled the helmet on anyway.

Hey, he'd never been particularly afraid of looking stupid. "Thanks."

"And my brain appreciates you keeping it safe," Ender said, a little dryly, and went up to the desk with the bag full of sandwiches.

"Have you been taking the kumquat apart?" Ender asked.

He did not sound like he was joking. It was Ben. It was possible.

Tara was still sleepy from having stayed out a little too late the night before, but it wasn't going to deter her from checking in with Ben before they both left the island.

The kumquat shower, however, almost did.

"Hi," she said, brushing fruit out of her hair. "Uh .... does it rain fruit in here a lot?"
life_inshadow: ([pos] mildly impressed)

Tara twirled the umbrella, then propped it over one shoulder with a little laugh. "I just wanted to say hi before we both leave," she said. "And see how you were. I didn't know to expect random kumquats."

"Oh, good," Topher said, sticking his head inside. "You weren't eaten by a tiger."

A kumquat landed on his head and then rolled to the floor.

"...what."

"Monday," Tara said, and that kept feeling way too soon. "Seemed ... better not to draw it out."

She raised her eyebrows. "Does the ship leave Thursday, or do you get time off first?"
dollpocalypse: (!?: wut now)

"I'm pretty sure the goat was friendly," Topher informed him. For whatever that was worth. "Why'd you leave, anyway? You missed the part with the jungle."

So how bad was the hangover?

Of course Jaina had to tease. Also, she was bored.

Tara nodded. Quick transitions were usually easier.

"And then you're out of touch for a couple months after it leaves, right?" she asked, trying to remember. "From Ender it sounded like the ... time jump, or whatever -- you can't exactly text people during it."
dollpocalypse: (dorky: whiny)

[personal profile] dollpocalypse 2012-08-17 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
He had noticed that, Ben, yes. "But... jungle."

Everyone loved a good safari adventure, right?
