Stark Industries, Sunday

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

Everything was relative, but Jessica was in a pretty good mood at the shop today. So good, in fact, that she didn't even ask questions when a squirrel brought in a sound amplifying listening device that had been acting up. They had jobs to do, after all, and she would just have to make sure to speak in code now.

Good day, good day.

"I'm bored," Cade announced. "Want to help me steal a tiger? Sparkle and I couldn't manage it last Wednesday."

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Two questions spring to mind immediately," Jessica said. "One, why did you try to steal a tiger? And two, why do you think I'd help you steal a tiger?"

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Bunch of French guys stole a llama and put it on a tram," Cade said, "so a tiger would be better. Or a panda. Do you own one of those? 'Cause I just want to put it on a bus."

"I'm not an exotic pet owner, no," Jessica said. "You really need some legal hobbies, you know that?"

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Probably," Cade agreed. "Have any suggestions?"

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Let's see. I'd suggest gardening, but that would probably go illegal almost immediately," Jessica said. "How about crochet? I'm sure you could knit some beautiful sweater vests."

"Would I have to wear them?" Cade asked.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"You wouldn't have to, but I bet you'd want to," Jessica said.

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Bet not," Cade replied. "I can take apart a weapon without a problem, but making my own clothes..."

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"It's exactly the same thing, only in reverse and softer," Jessica argued.

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Can you crochet in leather?" he wondered.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"I can't, but I'm sure somebody skilled in the art of leatherwork could do something with it," Jessica noted.

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Do you know someone skilled in that art?" Cade asked.

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"I'd have to with all the leather I wear," Jessica said. She was wearings jeans and a couple layers of regular shirts. Yes, she was being a smartass.

Again.

"You don't wear nearly enough leather," Cade decided, "which is a karking shame."

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"I don't even have a leather jacket," Jessica said, shaking her head. "Sorry, but it's not really my thing."

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Why not?" Cade asked, lounging against the counter. "Leather's good for when you're trying to pick up a tiger and it tries to claw you."

Hypothetically?

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Because I don't find myself in situations like that ever," Jessica pointed out.

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"You're really missing out," Cade said. "The adrenaline rush is amazing."

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"You'd feel exactly the same way about crochet," Jessica argued.

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

Cade gave her a dubious look. "How do you know?"

[craftyladyparts.livejournal.com]

"Science," Jessica answered immediately.

[makemyownway.livejournal.com]

"Poodoo," Cade replied, grinning.
