Okay, so, in order to preserve my sanity while I get back into the rhythm of things with class, I'm trying something a little different. This will work kind of like the day-in-the-life posts, except I'm just going to throw up a few comments for a few specific characters, and then a general "Bobby's in the kitchen eating ice cream; come say hi" one which anyone can tag into after that. =)

Comments will be in vague chronological order, but we all know that TIME IS IN FLUX at XMH, so it doesn't matter too much when this stuff happens!

Hope it's not confusing!

Oh God, can you believe it? The one guy -- the one guy! -- who can tower over me and stare me down, and that's who Ali has to date so that he can come pick on me. Agh! It was terrible. I thought he was going to hit me. I need my nose, Bobs! To smell things! And... stuff!

Well, just try to avoid running off with Ali on harebrained schemes, and you'll be fine.

[Their food and beer arrives, and both boys fall upon the chicken wings eagerly.]

[The expression that appears on Jono's face is the usual one when he is greeted by a big platter of chicken wings (see icon). It takes some time for him to reply back because he's so busy eating now.]

Mate, I -- [chomp] -- don't know why he was so pissed at me. As if we were fooling around behind his back or something! Hah! And his lab! It practically makes no difference that we went in there -- I mean, I know we shouldn't have -- but then the whole place got wrecked by Porter. So really. This was unjust yelling.

AHAHAHA SO CUTE

[Bobby nearly chokes on a mouthful of beer.] You went into his lab?? [He shakes his head in disbelief and amusement.] You're a brave man, Starsmore. A brave, idiotic man.

ISN'T HE?!

[Jono shakes his head.] It was dumb. But did you not wonder how Ali and I found that headquarters? I was running a program on my computer to find out some possible locations, but couldn't narrow it down to one. And then, well... Ali had the keys to the lab, and... everybody had already left and we were stuck here and we just... Yeah, we figured using some info from Forge's workshop we could piece it all together and eliminate some of my search results. And it worked and we never touched anything else in there but I still feel like shit now, after having thought about it some more. [He sighs and chows down and more food to comfort himself.]

I hate feeling like such a lousy gonk for doing that to him.

[Bobby shrugs, taking a bite out of a wing.] Actions, consequences. Yada yada. [The good food and just being out of the mansion without responsibilities is causing him to loosen up a bit. A few hours ago, he'd probably have elaborated on why Jono should expect Forge to be mad, how he could have avoided it in the first place. But Bobby knows that Jono knows all this, so he just keeps chewing.]

Maybe just stay out of his way until you guys are fine again. Better hope nothing happens to that chestplate of yours.

I like that. "Actions, consequences, yada yada."

[Then he lets out a huff.] I think I best be staying out of Forge's way, yeah, you're right. Which sucks, because he's a great guy. It'd be shit if he and I couldn't be friends again after this.

[never-too-cold.livejournal.com]

[Bobby shrugs again, and has a sip of beer.] Forge is a good guy. I'm sure he won't stay mad forever. You guys will be fine.

[jono-stars.livejournal.com]

[Jono does appreciate the sentiment.]

Yeah, guess you're right... [He gives a small laugh.] I mean, we're cool, right? See?

[never-too-cold.livejournal.com]

[Bobby groans and shakes his head at the pun, though it's obvious that he doesn't mind that much from the good-natured smile on his face.]

See, that's just proof that you have been spending too much time with Ali.
