sixteen | mommy dear, tell me please, is the world really round

[ Today, Slugger is acting particularly unusual especially where it concerns the females in his life. For much of the day, he'll be busy with one thing or another...]

(A) Terezi's Room
[ His sister will find buckets of brand new delicious crayons and cartons of paint in her bedroom. That's right, Terezi. BUCKETS. And PAILS.]

(B) Around Mayfield / Your Yard
[ Somewhere Slugger has gleaned that ladies are fond of pretty things that smell nice. Or something. Wherever there is a flower to be picked, he is picking it. ]

(C) At Home; 726 Anderson
[ helping Edward with whatever menial chores Susan has saddled him with and/or assisting Edward with the stealing and transport of 30 lbs of chocolates. ]

(D) Backyard; 726 Anderson
[ Sitting in the backyard is a wooden picnic table just like the ones seen at the park. In fact, it is one of the picnic tables from the park. How he transfered it to his backyard will forever remain a mystery. At the moment he's brushing off the dust and leaves from it and trying to unravel the umbrella bisecting the table at its center.]

[ooc]  Slugger is mostly affected by his female housemates, but he'll also be affected by others that he's familiar with (more so if he likes you, less if he doesn't.)

[He nods.]

There's something there.

[Whenever Ai decides to look, she'll find the largest stones stacked in a column and a basket of cherries balanced on top.]

Alright.

[She'll nod goodbye and go look.

Aw...that's....rather nice.]

[Slugger appears beside her. Apparently, he's following her.]

They're the kind you like?

[identity profile] miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com 2011-05-11 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[And Ai is startled. That's one for the books.]

Yes.

....Thank you.

Something to drink?

[He watches her, prepared to do her bidding. Sometimes he forgets she doesn't require food or water anymore.]

[identity profile] miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com 2011-05-12 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine.

[She's starting to realize that.]

....are you having a good mothers day?

[She doesn't know the woman in her house much yet. But she knows he likes Susan.]

[A bit hesitant to reply, he leans against the trunk of Ai's cherry blossom tree. Actually, he's glad to get away from certain "family" members' atrocious insinuations about him having feelings of a human-like nature.]

...Better now.

What weren't you happy about before?

[If your not dad is bothering you she can set him on fire for you.]

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
My fake sister. She thinks she knows everything...

[identity profile] miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
What does she think she know?

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Long pause in which his eyes are fixed firmly on the ground.]


...

She thinks I have... a "girl-friend".

[identity profile] miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com 2011-05-15 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ai blinks. Oh.]

Scout thinks I have a "boy-friend".

[Oh hey, let's just ....stare at the ground then.]

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[And together they stare awkwardly at the ground...




At some point in the process, he'll quietly offer her a cherry.]

[identity profile] miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[She'll take it.]

....Humans are strange.

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[Couldn't agree more. After she takes one, he sets the basket atop the stones again.]

Trolls, too.

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-05-16 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
My fake sister is one. She has horns and eats crayons...

[identity profile] miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

Why?


[Eating crayons is strange, even for her.]

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
She can't see colors but she "tastes" them.

[He'd let you meet her, Ai, but she might lick you.]

[identity profile] miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
She can taste colours...

[Your sister is strange.

...also she will not know how to deal with that.]

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He looks up with a nod.]

If you meet her, keep the marbles at home.

[Because Terezi will probably suck on those like hard candy.]

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Possibly...

I saw you have a fake sister, too.

[identity profile] miss-enma-ai.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Ai blinks.]

You met Kikuri?

[identity profile] strike-you-out.livejournal.com 2011-05-18 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
She likes drawing dead people.

[Unless there's another...?]
