                                          “ is he just shy ? - maybe a little socially awkward ? ”  her mind was drifting, trying to give answers to why a main character would be so mute. “ maybe even traumatized ? there could be some character development to his silence. ”  whoa girl. - overthinking. “  im still confused why its called the ‘ mandarin ‘ though… are these lasers orange ? - ”  answers were necessary, clearly; she was invested. 

“Hah!” Coyote let out a snort.  “That’d make, like, total sense if they were orange!  But forreal, I have no idea why it’s called the Mandarin or what it’s got to do with Luke ‘n Leia.  I just know that fruit snacks are fuckin’ delicious and if they were actually healthy for us, I’d def be eating way more of ‘em.”

A thoughtful pause:  “How do you feel about fruit snacks?”

           It wasn’t unusual for the gang to grab a post early surf grub at Sherry’s to start the day off right. The morning had been rough for Hayden and she had tumbled more than a few times off of her board. It would normally have been unusual for her to fall off when the conditions were perfect except she had still been more than a little drunk from the evening at Retro. After breakfast, she was pretty sure she was going to go back to Lady and take a nap until her evening lessons. Because they had had a bit of a late start, the only people still left at the breakfast table was Hayden and Coyote. It was CJ’s turn to open the shop and Cricket had left to do… well… Hayden wasn’t entirely sure. “Hmm so,” Hayden started as she put her coffee cup back down on the table, “were you at retro last night? I genuinely can’t remember. Wait… did we rematch beerpong?”

Coyote shook her head before taking a heaping bite of bacon.  “Nah man, I was back at my place.  Got stuck in the fuckin’ Matrix after a couple cups of mushroom tea.”

“But sounds like I missed out on a rager.  How much did ya have last night, dude?”

                                     “ ohh, scrappy. i would say the storm troopers would be terribly confused if they saw a small dog running, and yelling, ‘ PUPPY POWER ! ’  … but you can’t see any expressions through their helmet.. - the ‘ mandarin ?  ’ like the fruit ? - no, never even heard of that. boy, they really do name shows after practically everything now, don’t they ? ” 

“Mhm, but like you’re not missin’ much.  I fell asleep in the first thirty minutes of it.  And it doesn’t help that the main dude like doesn’t even really talk that much.” A thoughtful pause.  “But the laser gun fights were pretty rad.”

                         “ sounds like the ultimate crossover. those meddling kids… gotta solve every mystery, one galaxy at a time. - can you imagine shaggy and scooby eating galactic sandwiches ? sounds insane… and intense - i think you landed the perfect snack. ”

“Dude forreal.  Yanno, CJ made me watch an episode of that show the other day.  Like, what a snoozefest.  Woulda been so much better with Shaggy, Scoob and Scrappy in it.”

“You ever watch it?  The Mandarin?”

[coyotelawless]

Double Double

Coyote & CJ’s dog.  Named for the famed burger from In-N-Out; Coyote’s favorite eatery and coincidentally the location of the dumpster where they’d first encountered the stray dog.

“ cordelia jane ! mommy needs her phone. thank you!” the exhausted mother called out after hearing the familiar ring tone fill the air from the cell phone her daughter had been playing a game on.  with both the twins now fighting over the ipad, and honey a bit pre-occupied with her work call - it hadn’t been long before the twins knocked into someone that honey had found pretty familiar. excusing herself from the business call she ran over to apologize to the other and separate the twins, “i am so sorry, these kiddos are reckless. there’s getting into their terrible fives… are you okay? i know how these heathens can pack a punch - - so if they got ya, i am beyond sorry.” she sighed, “i’m boutta drop ‘em off at school - -” she gestured to the school across the street, “as an apology, i’ll treat you to a drink? i know it’s pretty early but, hey, momma needs a wine.” the southern belle spoke with a genuine chuckle.

Coyote wasn’t entirely sure what had just happened.  One moment she was about to get on her penny board and make her way to the shop.  The next she was on her ass on the concrete after a head on collision with two little kids.  And now a hot blonde was looking at her, while talking a mile a minute before ultimately offering her free wine.  

Coyote could only look back in stunned silence for a moment.

“Uh, sure, dude.”

[coyotelawless]

“The trippiest thing happened to me today, man; I found 4 Scooby Doo pieces in my Star Wars fruit snacks pouch.”  

“Like, I had no idea Shaggy and Scoob were in Star Wars.

“Ugh, I was hoping you’d say pepperoni so I could break this diet,” she scrunches her nose, takes a pizza slice without concern, sitting next to her. “Thanks! You don’t think the outfit is too casual? Last thing I need is a hashtag on Twitter about me for looking like a mess.”

“Did your parents really name you Coyote, or is it a nickname? I’m Lucy. You’re funny in the groupchat.”

Coyote watched as Lucy helped herself to a slice.  Not that Coyote minded, after all, but there was something oddly endearing about the boldness the other woman showed with such a gesture.  

“Mhm, my birthname’s legit Coyote.  Middle name is Sockeye.  Coyote Sockeye Lawson.  Guess that’s what you get when your Mom’s a park ranger, Dad’s a fisherman and both are long time Deadheads.”   A pause as Coyote shifts to reach down for another can of PBR.  “You want one?”

“God, please give me the strength not to kill this woman for this travesty.” A long pause as a look of horror took over her features. “How the fuck do you not know what an Old Fashioned is?”

“Cuz I’m not ninety years old?”

“But whoa...gettin’ so aggro over a drink is kinda extra, my dude.  So, let’s hit rewind for a second.”  The bartender finally approaches and Coyote orders a PBR and an Old Fashioned, and once he walks off to prepare their orders, Coyote holds out a hand.

“Aloha, dude.  The name’s Coyote.”

[coyotelawless]

“I’m a vegetarian. What’s on it?” Lucy asked, dressed far more causal than usual. Wearing just jeans and a tee, she still had on a leather jacket to accent the outfit.

Coyote glances down toward the pizza box on her lap for a brief moment.  “Uh, cheese and tomato sauce?”

“Rad jacket, by the way.”

“If you’re not comfortable in that chair, there are two places that are a lot more comfortable I can think of,” Athena said with an eyebrow raise, momentarily pondering over her options. “Hm, no. I’d much prefer a Good ‘Ol Fashioned.”

There’s a significant pause, wherein Coyote blinks with slight confusion.  Not calling the bartender over just yet.  Finally:

“.......a good old fashioned...beer?”

[coyotelawless]

“Remember in Costa Rica when we ate that pizza with plantains on top of it? I was into it,” she lifted the beer to her lips, nose scrunching at the taste. Her head lays on Coyote’s shoulder. “I fucking hate your little pabst, loser.”

Coyote lets out a laugh at CJ’s bellyaching, and rests her head against her teammates.  In the distance, the sand stretches out toward the inky black sky, with the gentle sounds of the waves and breeze.  She takes a swig from her beer.  “Good. That just means there’s more for me, Nemo.”

A pause, and a nudge.  “Sex wax for your thoughts, man.”

[coyotelawless]

“Bahamian pizza?  I gotta admit...it ain’t half bad.”

               “hey there. can i borrow your hand for a minute?” god, they seriously hoped that didn’t sound as creepy to her as it did to them. it wasn’t meant to be an unsettling question, truly. they were painting, of course. specifically, they were attempting to recreate an almost completely destroyed painting that was part of a set. since the original piece was too far gone to restore, and the set wasn’t worth enough to try, saint opted to create an acknowledged forgery on behalf of her client. since it was near impossible to continue her regular work here, especially since her business partner came along, they had opted to bring this as a project to satisfy their creative itch. unfortunately though, they were stuck. the original painting, a feminine hand holding a large bouquet tied in a silk ribbon, had been too damaged along the hand for any sort of reference, and saint needed a new model. 

[coyotelawless]

“Uh......why?”  Coyote was out of her element enough as it is on this TV show and indiscriminate requests for her hand was certainly something she wasn’t used to.

There it is: the conversation she had been dreading. It’s not the first time, nor will it probably be the last time that Claire puts love before her career first. This time, however, CJ knows she’s fucked up twice as bad, because her actions didn’t just affect her this time.

Falling back against the love seat in her room, it’s not lost on CJ that even Double D is hurt. She runs a hand through her hair, exasperated. “I fucked up, real bad. But, I’m here now to train — promise! I wanted to get really good again, on my own time, and then come back to you.” It’s an awful answer, but there’s truth behind her progress.

“Don’t lie to me, dude.  We’re in the fuckin’ Caribbean.  The surf here sucks compared to back on Big Island.  Forreal.  What’s really going on?”
