boom clap; the sound of my heart

"I think you’re next."

[judeowens]

"Alright, alright, killer. Simmer down. What's your next plan of action?""

[prudenceowens-blog]

"Rub it in more, why don’t you." It’s not like she knew he was a florist, except for the fact that she’d gone out of her way to annoy him further. "He’s about to be six feet under when I get my hands on him."

[judeowens]

"Think he's already got flowers picked out for his grave? Do you think they're the same ones he sent you, because that would definitely be poetic. You could think angrily at any daffodil that crosses your path and always remember him, for years to come."

[prudenceowens-blog]

Pru bit back a sigh as she spoke. “I might have been antagonizing someone’s flowers the other day, that’s all. He retaliated. And now I have to kill him.”

[judeowens]

"You pissed off a florist?" Jude had been right, this was definitely worth waiting for it. "And he sent you flowers? Only you, Pru. Only you. Where's this guy at so I can meet him and congratulate him on a retaliation well played?"

[prudenceowens-blog]

"Nothing        I was my cheery old self with a face that no one can help but to love. Oh wait, that sounds nothing like me.” And everything like her sister.

[judeowens]

Jude didn't bother to refute her words, or agree with them, just waited for the story to unravel itself, sure he would be amused by it, regardless.

[prudenceowens-blog]

"That wasn’t my fault. They overreacted.”

"Someone sent me flowers."

[judeowens]

Well---that's a new one.

What'd you do to piss 'em off enough to send you flowers of all things?

[prudenceowens-blog]

"Nothing you need to concern yourself with unless I come asking you to help me bury a body. But I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you."

[judeowens]

Last time you said that, you weren't allowed back into the mall for a year. Another six months to step foot near that store you that started with an...A?

What happened.

[judeowens]

prudenceowens:

"This is the type of thing that gets people killed for less. Come out, come out wherever you are, tree boy.”

Something I should...know?

[prudenceowens-blog]

"She must be stopped, at all costs." But that’ll never happen she didn’t waste the breath to add as she watched him come back to the other side of the counter that she’d been leaning against. Straightening up when he approached, Pru shot him a small smirk. "That’s never a good sign."

[judeowens]

"You take the legs, I'll take the head?" A familiar joke that would, no doubt, have gotten the pair of them the cold shoulder for at least a month from said sister, but never failed to amuse Jude beyond all reason. He loved his sisters, but Prudence was obviously his favorite, even if he wasn't the best brother in the world, he would still do anything for them. "Har, har. If you're gonna make jokes, I can just take my thoughts somewhere they'll be appreciated."

Trust me, this isn’t something I want. 

[judeowens]

Then you just need to break it with a healthy food binge.

[therunning-g-blog]

So I've been making a pros and cons list...

[therunning-g-blog]

…Dude…that’s genius! Where were you an hour ago when I started making this list?!

[judeowens]

Getting coffee.

You could even get different beards for different days of the week, depending on your mood for that day.

[dr-alexpalmer]

What'll you have?

[dr-alexpalmer]

I guess so. Just let me know if you need anything else, my name’s Jericho.

[judeowens]

What--you're not going to keep me company? I'm hurt.

[prudenceowens-blog]

"Such a travesty to be so perfect that you have to be toned down as to appease the masses, or whatever words she liked to throw around when anyone gave her half a moment to listen. I think I stopped about, ten years ago?" Though it was increasingly harder to do now that  they were back to living together, all three of them. "But did you really come here to talk about her?"

[judeowens]

"God, no, it just seems like no matter what we do, or say, or think, her mind control powers make us talk about her even when she's no where around." Giving up on his search, he headed back to her counter and leaned up against it opposite of her. "So, I've been thinking."

[dylanxwhite-blog]

I think today is the first day in weeks that I’ve gone into work and not wanted to eat everything in sight. I don’t know what’s going on, but I’m shocked. I always want tacos.

[judeowens]

Self-discipline finally kicking in?

[therunning-g-blog]

So I've been making a pros and cons list...

[therunning-g-blog]

Ok wait, you ready? Right, so my boyfriend likes the beard, that’s a pro, a con is that I’m a personal trainer so the beard just gets really gross and sweaty sometimes. Shaving is a pain in the ass and I don’t have to do that with a beard, but on the other hand trimming is also a pain in the ass, which I need to do because I’m not about looking like a lumberjack. It’s a hard toss, man, I’m losing it here.

[judeowens]

You know what your solution is? Fake beard. Now, hear me out. You shave, but when your chin is cold, or you're feeling like a lumberjack, all you have to do is whip it out, strap it on and you're done. And if you're not feeling like shaving that day, it's the perfect way to cover up that stubble you wish were a beard, and take off when you have to work. Problem solved.

"I’m sorry, did you say something. I’ve got a lot on my mind."

[judeowens]

Got a light?

[c-lovelymcbride]

If I don’t find this measuring spoon soon, I’m going to go absolutely mental. The half cup is here, and so is the quarter cup, but where is the gosh darn tablespoon… 

…Oh! I didn’t see you there! I am so, so sorry. You probably didn’t come here to hear your barista worry about some spoons, did you? Sorry. Again. Is there anything I can get you, now that I’ve babbled at you? 

[judeowens]

"Not a problem, I feel babbling is a way of life. How else are you supposed to solve any problems in the world, like missing measuring spoons?" Tilting his chin, he gestured towards the espresso machine, a small smile twitching at his lips. "By the way, it's over there, behind the hazelnut flavoring, and I definitely wouldn't turn down a peppermint mocha latte with extra chocolate."

[dr-alexpalmer]

What'll you have?

[dr-alexpalmer]

A Vodka Red Bull coming up. With an umbrella.

Want to pay now or start a tab, friend?

[judeowens]

Depends on if I find somebody to talk to, doesn't it?
