[ abigail is at the bait shop, sitting behind the counter. beside her is a rack of fish themed valentine's and little pink stuffed fish. ]

I was unaware there were so many fish puns that related to Valentine's Day. So... Hook, Line and Tinker is having a sale. By sale... I mean sale. Everything must go. Please take these off my hands. This was a horrible mistake and I regret my life choices.

[ /stares at camera like jim halpert. boy, does she ever. she will probably give them away free if you buy a pack of gum. how are she and will in business still? well, she's actually a really good saleswoman when it comes down to it.

just not right now. when cutesy fish are making cutesy faces at her. ]

Unrelated to flirty flounders, someone asked me about... well, basically about this place and I realized I've been kind of willingly ignorant to anything that's going on around me. I've read the FAQ, but is there anything else I should know?

[ you'd think after three months in a basement she would want to know more, but nope. at least she does now. only took six months. shut up, she's dead. she had to deal with that for a while. ]

Also, small show of hands -- I hope it's small -- who else is dead in their worlds?

[ so casual. she gives the camera a brief, wry smile and cuts out. ]

Yeah.

I mean I have a boyfriend.

I'm not sure he would like a stuffed fish though.

[ brb putting money in the cash register to buy jayden a dumb stuffed fish. ]

[kinesia]

maybe he would like flowers

i like flowers .

[ Jonathan had made nice ones, the night of the blind date. Grey associates them with that. Fish, on the other hand, he associates with fighting.

Don't ask.

Flowers are better. ]

[ /makes a note to buy grey flowers for valentine's day. ]

I don't think he'd like flowers, either.

I'm not sure he'd want anything.

[ he's a very typical teenage boy. she has a guess at what he might want, but he's not going to get that. ]

[kinesia]

[ Grey considers this. While he has serious doubts about how sensible someone who didn't like flowers could be at all, he'll accept that.

A new tactic, then. ]

what would you want ?

[lurings]

Flowers. :)

Wildflowers. Daisies, bluebells, lupine, black-eyed Susans, larkspur, daffodils, astor, hemlock. When I lived in Maryland there was bougainvillea dripping from the trees. It's a vine, so it crept up walls and across trellises. I like lilacs, too, but they bloom so quickly.

[ nature tho. ]

[kinesia]

[ So many. How are there so many names? He'll never remember them all, so he saves this message. While he's doing it, he notices that the word 'lilac' flits over the back of his hand, the ink floating to the surface of his skin and disappearing again. ]

i didnt know they had so many names

jonathan made flowers the night of the blind dates . they bloomed even though it was cold

i liked them .



:)

[lurings]

That's not even a lot of them. I'll find you a book of them, there are hundreds.

[ oh grey is totally getting an entire room of flowers on valentine's day. ]
