[And here we have the Iron Bull, holding his communicator like he's taking a selfie. But it's a video feed instead. He's... out in the wilderness somewhere. Dragging a tree in one hand. There also happens to be mistletoe strung between his horns.]

[Behind him is Kaneda. Holding the other end of the tree, covered liberally in pine needles and bits of pinecones and other dead leaves. He looks like he's having a bad time.]

So. I heard you're supposed to bring trees inside for this holiday crap.

[He shakes the tree in his hand. Unfortunately for Kaneda. Who gets jerked to one side, swearing liberally at Bull.]

Check this one out. We got it all on our own. No one else was even out here!

[That's because you're in the forest, Bull.]



((ooc: Kaneda and Bull will both be responding.))

Frankly, that sounds really bad.

[rideme]

Hey, makes 'em less noticeable.

[resipiscent]

[He laughs.]

I don't know if I can agree with that. I grew up on an island, you know? I feel like I'm possibly an eating-fish expert.

[rideme]

All right -- next time Canada here brings a fish home, we'll call you.

[aka: the next time he drags Kaneda out of bed at 5AM.]

[resipiscent]

[THat is exactly how he interpreted that.]

Right. Maybe we put him to bed early next time?

[rideme]

That ruins the surprise.

[resipiscent]

I thought it just ruined his experience if you didn't. Seems like he likes his sleep.

[rideme]

He's never going to amount to anything if he sleeps all day.

[resipiscent]

Heh. Maybe not, huh? I almost feel sorry for him.

[rideme]

Hey, that one's his fault.

[resipiscent]

Mm, yeah. Don't worry, I think he'll get past it.

[rideme]

I'm not worried.

[resipiscent]

Good, I think we should have some faith in him.

[rideme]

"Faith", huh?

[resipiscent]

Were you thinking of a different word?

[rideme]

Nah, that one works.

[resipiscent]

Right, then.

So are you decorating your tree, or...?

[rideme]

Guess so.

[resipiscent]

[what does that mean]

Okay. I'm just wondering because I'm pretty sure my friend will end up with too many ornaments and I can probably donate some to your cause.

[rideme]

Hey, if they don't mind the cats using them like toys, sure thing.

[resipiscent]

Nah, I think they'll just be dollar store stuff anyway. Plastic ones. And I have a cat, and that's... kind of what I'm expecting mine to end up like, too.

[rideme]

Dollar store?

[resipiscent]

Yeah, uh. [He never considers who he's talking to when he idly references such things.] Like, everything's supposed to be a dollar there. Not necessarily always true, though.

[rideme]

...



I'm going. Like, now. [Pause.] Okay, not now, but you get the idea.

[resipiscent]

Heh, no, I got it.

[He raises a brow. Sometimes he can't help himself.]

You'll have to bring Kaneda along.
