004 🌙 VIDEO | FT. 🖕 ANDY

[ Andy and M are sitting beside each other on M’s sofa with Dragprawn, M’s bright red robotic shrimp draped across M’s shoulders. Andy is, unsurprisingly, puffing away on an already dwindling cigarette. For his part, M is staring into the camera looking serious, but incredibly smug. ]

To our dear, dear friends who have told us, on more than one occasion, that we should “get a hobby”: Andy and I would like you to know that we’ve heard you, and to make you stop “suggesting” it to us, we want you all to know that we’ve started a little club.

[ With a dramatic flourish that would make Vanna White proud, M holds up a pair of knitting needles. ]

Specifically, a knitting club. We sat down and had a whole big heart-to-heart, and for a while there we debated between knitting or the lost art of whittling chicken bones into tiny shivs, but we figured the latter defeated the purpose of “relaxing” and so sadly knitting won.

[ Is he serious? Is he kidding? The world may never know, because M’s face betrays nothing. Andy is only slightly less subtle — the corner of her mouth quirks up. She lifts up two bundles of yarn: One is rainbow, the other is metallic gold. ]

“Knitting club” also sounds a lot less shady than “shiv-making club.” [ Her voice goes wry: ] We’re accepting applications from anybody who knows their ass-end from a knitting needle. Fair warning: No guarantee that the needles don’t end up getting used as shivs anyway.

[ M finally grins. ]

Because we have to have our fun too.

Y'know, I was just telling my friend Billy he should take up knitting. I'm not sure he meets the requirements, but he's always claimed to be a quick learner.

I think we could probably survive your friend Billy, despite the possibility that he might not be able to tell the difference between his own ass and a sharp object.

And between you and me, he could probably do with a good non-fatal shanking.

Knitting club's free. Stabbing, I might have to charge for.

Oh, hell yeah! I love knitting! M, you never told me that you know how to knit.

Oh, I don't know about that. Whittling's supposed to be a relaxing enough hobby, no matter the outcome.

I wouldn't consider him a traditional knitter.

Don't be a bad influence on me, Rex.

Well I, for one, would never question your collection of sharp chicken bones. I know exactly what they're for.

I can knit.

[Have one of the most bored looking men on the planet.]

... And makes shivs.

Oh, I don't know about that one. I've been known to be a good influence, if anything.

There are certainly worse pastimes.

[ She bumps him back. ]

Oh, is that the reason?

That'd be a damn silly question. You're just being resourceful. No point in wasting them.

[ It's very, very hard to tell whether or not Rex is being serious. ]

I guess you are the responsible type, Captain.

[why is she not surprised to find these two souls in cahoots?

she's smiling, but also...squinting. what are you two up to.]


I must be honest: I would've never pegged either of you as the sort to gravitate toward knitting. If that's how this venture is to truly go, that is.

[Wow, there's actually an image attachment to go along with this club. They're already far more prepared than he could ever imagine, even if that's as far as prep goes.]

Jack. Hi. [Awkward pause.] I haven't knitted in a long time.

You did say you were accepting applications from people who knows their arse-end from a knitting needle. I'm afraid I don't quite meet your standards.

[personal profile] killtime 2018-05-16 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry. I'm willing to bet it's been longer for me.

Just Jack, huh?
