Chilly Boulder- Friday evening

Despite logic and reason dictating that no one but masochists should still be Cubs fans in this day and age, Kitty was. She just had faith that they would win it all one year and that it would be in her lifetime. And after today's game (they won!), she'd checked the standings... and finally had to admit to herself that year would definitely not be this year.

So there was a consolation banana split happening because it made her feel better, and if you stuck with them through a season, you deserved a banana split, okay? At one point she even lifted up her spoon full of ice cream and declared, "Next year!" to the girl behind the counter, who just looked at her funny.

Okay, no, it wouldn't be next year and she knew it but she was going to hold out for it just in case.


[I couldn't let a whole season pass without ragging on my Cubs fan, and today felt like a good day to bemoan sports. Open!]

Coulson walked in and started the process the clerk was familiar with whenever he came in. With his hands folded behind his back, he leaned over and started to inspect how all of the flavors looked before even attempting to decide on one.

But this time, he had company already in the shop. "Good evening, Miss Pryde," he said while investigating his options.
throughaphase: (slightly headtilty)

"Hey," she greeted him with just the slightest headtilt. "I didn't really peg you for an ice cream guy."

It was the suit.

"Doesn't everyone love ice cream?" Coulson asked. "I try not to go for it too often, but it's warm. And it's officially a holiday weekend. So why not treat myself?"
throughaphase: (from the side)

"All good points," Kitty conceded. "And I recommend you do not get the Ben, I needed a box to take it home in."

She was a little girl, okay, she could only handle so much ice cream at a time.

"Thanks for the warning," Coulson said. "Are there any other specials named after people that I should watch out for?"
throughaphase: (little smile)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2012-09-01 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
"I think you're in the clear," Kitty said. "See, I'm here to help."

"I appreciate it," Coulson said. He turned to the clerk. "I'll have the fudge ripple. In a bowl. With sprinkles? Thanks."

Coulson turned back to Kitty. "Yes, I'm also a sprinkles guy. But only on birthdays and holiday weekend."
throughaphase: (look upward)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2012-09-01 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
"But sprinkles should be celebrated like all the time," Kitty pointed out, stealing a glance at her own banana split. "And before you say anything, there are nuts on this. You can't mix the two, it's just not right."

[identity profile] firstnameagent.livejournal.com 2012-09-01 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Sounds reasonable. Are the nuts celebratory too, or do they just keep sprinkles away?" Coulson checked.
throughaphase: (pleased)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2012-09-01 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
"They just go better with the cherry that was on top when I started this," she replied. "There's a system."

[identity profile] firstnameagent.livejournal.com 2012-09-01 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Do I want to know what the whole system is?" Coulson checked as the little paper bowl of ice cream was passed over.
throughaphase: (saying words)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2012-09-01 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Banana splits always get peanut butter ice cream so you can go crazy with chocolate syrup because it's the best," Kitty explained patiently. "But if you go that route you don't want to dilute the other flavors so it's best to stick with nuts on top because they go the best with the cherry you have to have anyway. I don't make the rules, that's just the way it is."

[identity profile] firstnameagent.livejournal.com 2012-09-01 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
"Are there any rules for fudge ripple?" Coulson checked.
throughaphase: (satisfied)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2012-09-01 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
"Nope. Knock yourself out," she confirmed.

[identity profile] firstnameagent.livejournal.com 2012-09-01 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
"Hopefully it doesn't do that," Coulson joked. "I don't want that kind of brain freeze."
throughaphase: (considering)

[personal profile] throughaphase 2012-09-01 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
"If it knocked you out, I think we'd have to call it something entirely different. Even if the best I can come up with is brain freezerburn and that sounds a little... wrong," she said.

[identity profile] firstnameagent.livejournal.com 2012-09-01 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
"Brain cryonics?" Coulson offered.
throughaphase: (that could work)

Kitty snapped her fingers, pointing at him. "You can go right ahead and patent that, I think."
