[05:12] TG: dont sit here and talk to me when you could be nourishing yourself with delicious food items
[05:12] TG: protip if you find toaster strudel
[05:12] TG: savor that shit
[05:13] TG: consume snackfood
[05:13] GG: nah i dont have one of those
[05:13] GG: i actually got a bowl of cereal
[05:13] GG: i walked all the way down to the refrigifyificator to get it!
[05:14] TG: i dont know whether to be appalled or impressed so im gonna go with
[05:14] TG: you go harley
[05:14] GG: i dont really see how thats appalling :p
[05:14] TG: its best you remain in the shadows
[05:15] GG: unless youve seen whats there along the walk
[05:15] GG: which you probably have actually
[05:16] TG: yep thats definitely the appalling part about what you just said
[05:17] GG: what are you not saying????
[05:19] TG: refrigifyificator
[05:19] TG: thats so many frigy fries my heads kind of spinning a little bit here reading it over
[05:22] TG: did you mean refrigerator
[05:22] TG: describe the device to me
[05:22] GG: i have one of those too though
[05:22] GG: its a big thing with food in it!
[05:23] TG: yeah a refrigerator
[05:23] TG: if thats what your refrigifyificator is then what the hell is your refrigerator
[05:24] GG: my refrigerator is a smaller transportable device that i use to pull food out of
[05:24] GG: and then i sometimes cook it with my cookalizer
[05:25] GG: you mean you dont have any of this stuff??
[05:25] GG: i know you have a refrigifyificator i saw it in your kitchen
[05:25] TG: okay no the refrigerator is the big stationary thing so wouldnt your smaller device be the refrigifyificator or whatever
[05:25] TG: how many refrigyfriggerfraggelizers do you even have
[05:26] GG: and that makes no sense dave
[05:26] GG: why would the smaller one have the smaller word???
[05:26] TG: so youre saying that an elephant is bigger than the moon because its name has more letters in it
[05:26] TG: thats your logic
[05:27] GG: no but these are appliances!
[05:27] TG: thats basically what youre saying to me right now you cant even retcon that shit
[05:27] GG: and theyre connected
[05:27] GG: and so you give the smaller one the smaller name right??
[05:28] TG: you name them based on their function dont most zappy bullshit things have that whole ificator thing going on anyway
[05:29] GG: i just have a lot of -izers
[05:30] TG: well the bigger one of your refrigellybellies is just a refrigerator
[05:30] TG: take my word for it
[05:30] GG: are you sure??
[05:31] TG: yeah im like 800% positive
[05:31] GG: thats a lot of percents
[05:32] GG: hmm but how can i be sure youre not just messing with me?
[05:32] TG: do you want me to find a goddamn pc richards & sons catalog or something and point it out
[05:45] GG: i just looked it up
[05:45] GG: i feel like my whole life is a lie......
[05:45] GG: now what do i call my other refrigerator?????
[05:46] TG: i guess this makes it the refrigifyificator in this situation
[05:47] GG: thats just so weird though
[05:47] TG: wll i mean really theyre your refrigigravelrackets so you can call them whatever the fuck you want
[05:47] GG: refrigigravelracket is a good name
[05:53] GG: or any number of the other weird things you said
[05:53] GG: i think ill just use them all in a rotation :o
[05:55] TG: thats probably the most entertaining way to do it
[05:58] GG: it seems really quiet today
[05:58] GG: hey dave whats it like over there?
[05:59] TG: what do you mean like the crap going on outside the window or something
[06:01] TG: its never actually all that quiet around here usually theres a shit ton of traffic and sometimes yelling due to said shit ton of traffic
[06:01] TG: there isnt much of that right now
[06:01] TG: lot of different people play different music from random windows and no one cares if they mesh weird
[06:02] TG: but not the terrifying kind
[06:03] TG: but im up pretty high so i dont get concentrated blasts of a certain thing its kind of just ambience
[06:04] TG: weird urban ambience
[06:04] TG: with some birds
[06:04] GG: aww yeah the cute birdies that come to visit you
[06:05] GG: that was oddly poetic
[06:05] GG: is it sunny outside?
[06:06] TG: im a lyrical genius jade are you really all that surprised
[06:06] GG: its raining here
[06:06] GG: it smells really nice
[06:07] TG: theres a toothpaste billboard not too far away that blocks most of the light after a certain time from my angle
[06:07] TG: it doesnt rain here much
[06:07] GG: that must be convenient :p
[06:07] GG: aww not that so much
[06:07] GG: i like the rain
[06:08] TG: yeah its nice when it finally does
[06:08] TG: like relief i guess
[06:08] GG: yeah i know the feeling
[06:08] GG: it gets really warm here sometimes!!
[06:09] GG: but it probably does there too right?
[06:10] TG: it can get kinda stifling yeah
[06:11] TG: sometimes the exhaust from all the cars and shit doesnt mix so well with that heat and it just smells like burning
[06:11] TG: but like the gross kind not the holy shit my house is on fire help kind
[06:11] GG: oh yeah that is gross
[06:11] GG: im really glad i live on an island so i dont have to smell any of that
[06:14] TG: youre pretty lucky in that sense i guess
[06:14] TG: when you try to weigh the pros and cons of this place the rank subway kind of beats out the delicious aroma of subway
[06:14] TG: as in the food establishment
[06:14] GG: hmm ive never had a subway
[06:15] TG: well look what just bumped up to like number one on the things we need to fix list
[06:16] GG: hehehe ok i have an idea
[06:17] GG: im going to go shower and you can get a subway while i do that and then come over here so we dont have to smell the other subway while enjoying it
[06:17] GG: also because its still raining here so its automatically better
[06:18] TG: sounds like a plan
[06:21] GG: i will hop to it then
-- temporalGravitation [TG] is now an idle chum! --
-- growingGradience [GG] is now an idle chum! --
[07:04] TG: hey im on my way back to my place
[07:04] TG: hope you like provolone
[07:11] GG: im sure ill like it
[07:15] GG: what kind of subways are they??
[07:19] TG: strider incoming
[07:20] TG: *It didn't take more than a minute to get up from his desk to grab his shoes, hopping to untuck the heel of one from how it folded as he squished his feet into them while simultaneously making his way across the room. Subway wasn't all that far away, and as badly as he wanted to rush, it was still decently hot out and he took his time, reaching to shove his sweatshirt sleeves up to his elbows half way there. What the hell did she like on a sandwich anyway? He probably should have asked about that. Then again maybe a surprise might be alright considering this was her first sub. He ordered two of what he usually got, and a couple bags of Lays, her message coming in on his phone prompting him to hurry up a little and get home faster than he'd gotten there. He took a second to sigh and look at his reflection in a window to fix his hair, thoughtlessly (and totally shamelessly, yes,) lifting a hand in a pistol gesture at himself before making his way to the nearest transportalizer, on the ground level of the apartment building.*
[07:34] GG: *It wasn't the shower itself that had taken her a lot of time, but rather dealing with her hair afterward; it was a task to brush it and blow-dry it, all while avoiding two pairs of ears in the process. But she had managed to come out of it (mostly) unscathed, and she stuck her round glasses back on her face, not bothering with make-up (because really, what was that all about? If there was another girl around, they probably would have told her her lashes were thick and dark enough for it not to matter anyway). They fit her better than they had when she was smaller, the lenses not so huge in comparison, but she didn't care to observe herself to even take note of it, darting away from the bathroom to rush back upstairs. She might not have bothered using the stairs how it once was normal, but she had a lot of energy these days, and it was nice to hop around from place to place. The message she received back on her lunchtop told her he was on his way, and rather than waste the time running downstairs again, she decided to simply zap herself down to the garden atrium where she knew he would materialize, tail wagging eagerly behind her skirt.*
[07:42] TG: *He appears in a flash of light and rustling plastic as the bag around his wrist bumped his leg upon stepping off the pad. At the sight of her, he smiled, twisting the bag around his hand to lift it up and wave it at her in display.* howdy
[07:42] TG: i come bearing gifts
[07:45] GG: *laughs at the 'howdy'* yeah i know!! *disregards the bag of food for the moment to launch herself over for a hug, unable to help herself*
[08:25] TG: *He doesn't mind this at all, stepping to catch her and spin in half a circle with the momentum of her little jump. He pressed his face to her hair and nearly blurted out that it smelled nice. He set her down, but didn't let go for a few more moments, finally looking out the window.* wow its really coming down
[09:20] GG: *She couldn't remember ever smelling something that was quite the same as the way he smelled; maybe Davesprite's was similar, but it was different, too, the smell of feathers and electronics. Dave smelled like the warmth of Texas, the hint of a musk of smoke and sweat, and the cool bite of the cologne that clung to his shirt, but when she buried her face in the side of his neck, it was simply Dave -- she liked that best of all.* uh huh *she answered, pulling back with briefly swiveling ears to catch the pattering of the rain outside the clear atrium* wanna eat in here? i can grab some chairs :D
[09:31] TG: *He watched the droplets chase each other down the glass for a moment, unable to see much more than muddled shapes and splotches of green through the ripples.* yeah that sounds good *He turned back to her to smile again, drifting back a bit to glance around for an open space to set the bag. There really wasn't, so he figured he would wait until she had chairs so they could sort out makeshift table arrangements.*
[09:44] GG: *At his agreement, she nodded once with a brief "okay!" before zapping away in a flash of green, returning with two tiny chairs that she resized to their original state.* here we go! um... *floats the chairs over by one of the windows and sets them down* there! oh right wait just another second *zaps away again, then returns a couple moments later with a can of soda in either hand* you like hilly dew right?
[09:56] TG: *He didn't quite feel as guilty about not helping her to get these things just because of how fast she went, how effortless it was. Once she'd set up the chairs, he didn't quite have time to respond with more than an 'okay--' before she zapped away again, taking that moment before she returned to set up the chairs at the very corner of one of the tables. Carefully, he pushed a flower pot just a bit more towards the center of it, so he could kick his feet up when he sat down, and set his sandwich in his lap to have some leverage rather than almost dropping the thing or having to lean to eat it* hilly dew? *oh god what is that.*
[10:04] GG: yeeeaaah? *steps over to sit next to him and holds the can out to him like come on dave it's hilly dew don't you know* dont tell me you dont know hilly dew!!
[10:08] TG: *reaches for the can to inspect it* oh its like a knockoff brand of mountain dew
[10:08] GG: mountain dew??
[10:09] TG: yeah its like one of the head honcho soda brands
[10:11] GG: youre just like changing my life multiple times today
[10:14] GG: i guess i really dont know a lot of stuff i thought i did :/
[10:19] TG: its no big deal its not like soda brands and kitchen appliances are all that important *shrugs and sets the can down in order to fetch her sandwich and hold it out to her* these are though
[10:19] TG: one special supreme surprise sub for the lady
[10:21] GG: yeah i know hehe *grabs the sandwich* ... ssssawesome? no!! wait... stunning!
[10:22] TG: sawesome works *chuckles and starts to unwrap his* stellar
[10:23] GG: supreme! wait you already said
[10:24] GG: *unwraps her sandwich too, sniffing at it*
[10:26] TG: scintillating *nods and takes a bite mm sandwich* go on dig in
[10:39] GG: all right ok *bites into it* ... hry thss is rly goud
[10:40] GG: *has a piece of meat dangling out of her mouth* *so hot*
[10:41] TG: *is chewing but has to smile a little oh shit* your tastebuds have now been welcomed to the mainland
[10:41] TG: hows it feel to be a citizen of oversized sandwich country
[10:41] GG: it feels great dave!!
[10:41] GG: *gigglesnort*
[10:42] TG: now imagine a chorus of tiny tastebud sized voices repeating that *bc thats sooo who i was talking to**shit im so amused*
[10:46] GG: hehehehe! i dont have to theyre practically already singing to me you just cant hear it over the rain
[10:46] GG: *sets the sandwich down to crack open her soda and slurp it*
[10:47] TG: *follows her example and glances out the window again* is it like this a lot or just a moderate comfortable percentage of the time
[10:48] GG: i guess its pretty frequent like once a week or so
[10:51] TG: nice *sinks in his chair a bit to lounge, taking another sip before setting the can down* yeah we dont get it quite that often
[10:51] GG: *continues eating and totally gets a smudge of condiments on her cheek like the classy lady she is*
[10:52] GG: yeah i guess not since you dont have a jungle outside your house :D
[11:03] TG: yeah *is about to pick up his sandwich again when he realizes she's got something on her face, and he pauses* hey *waves his fingers to get her to lean over* got a little-- *le reach*
[11:08] GG: huh? *is just preparing to take another bite when he reaches over, and a growl bubbles up in her throat at the sight of it before she freezes, face flushing* oh-- fuck i'm sorry!!
[11:11] TG: *his eyes widen and he recoils a little bit in surprise with a quick gasp, blinking at her before the moment passed and she apologized. His hand hadn't completely fallen away, so he carefully reached to wipe the smear from her cheek with his thumb, and pull his hand back to show her* its cool
[11:11] TG: just some mayo
[11:16] GG: *just darkens a shade, worried about having scared him, and her dog ears are wilting too, little to her knowledge* sorry i cant help myself sometimes!! it can get kind of embarrassing
[11:16] GG: i probably should have told you about that
[11:24] TG: *wipes the mayo off on a napkin from the bag, which come to think of it he could have just handed to her, oops, and simply shrugs, picking up his sandwich. Honestly, that definitely gave him a scare, but only for the fact that he feared having done something wrong.* well you didnt bite me so as far as im concerned its fine *casual bite because it's actually kind of cute, too, the whole dog thing. 'Specially the expressive ears. Whoops.*
[11:45] GG: *awkward laughter* yeah i... will try not to do that *buries face in sandwich, now worried about potentially biting him... because she's totally bitten John before, I mean, come on, he's a brat*
[12:30] TG: *He'd get over it if she bit him, despite really not wanting to be bitten... He smirked a little bit, reaching for his soda again and watching her for a few moments.* anything else you cant not do
[12:30] TG: do i gotta buy a leash or something to keep you from chasing the mail man
[12:30] TG: *im teasing you i promise*
[12:33] GG: *pouts* dave!!! no im not gonna chase the mail man especially considering i dont even have a mail man
[12:33] GG: ... i did kind of chase jaspersprite
[12:36] TG: which leads me to believe that you would chase the mail man if you had one *smiles a little wider, setting his soda down again* like full on drive the animal up a tree chasing haha oh man
[12:36] TG: good exercise at least right
[12:46] GG: *shakes head bashfully* no!!! it was only when he was meowing really for some reason that just got to me
[12:47] TG: kay ill be sure not to meow either
[12:47] GG: good because id have to clock you
[12:50] GG: *grins and bites her sandwich again, picking her legs up to rest them over his* *hehehhohho*
[12:53] TG: * :3 **no objections**bites his sandwich again, too, and speaks through a mouthful* sho youve got hilly dew

[01:17] GG: theyre very ripe
[01:19] TG: oh well you know me
[01:19] TG: i cant resist the temptation of ripened fruit
[01:19] GG: you make that sound scandalous
[01:20] GG: but really i just need to eat it before it goes bad
[01:21] TG: hence my inability to resist
[01:21] TG: good ripened fruit cannot go to waste
[01:21] TG: i have a personal vendetta against those who let food just rot
[01:22] TG: we must attain this fruit and save it from a wrinkly demise
[01:23] GG: hahaha! yes exactly

[01:40] GG: meat and ice cream..
[01:41] TG: *shrugs* yeah i dont know why i do that
[01:41] TG: i guess its like it cools it off and its this mix of spice and sweetness i dunno
[01:42] GG: that makes sense to me
[01:44] GG: ... i sometimes eat my meat raw now
[01:45] TG: *smiles a little**whispers ive never told anyone else that**sudden 8======| face* is that even healthy

[04:14] TG: close enough *aw my sandwich is gone.... time for chips**pulls out the lays and tosses her a bag* think fast
[04:14] TG: *laughs* awesome
[04:15] TG: that was great
[04:15] GG: *pulls the bag out of her mouth*
[04:15] GG: i really need to work on this

[04:19] GG: if you want to make it into that >:P
[04:21] TG: *holding back a dog show joke because r00d* okay so then besides chasing things growling and catching potato chips in your mouth what other habits do you feel like you gotta kick
[04:22] GG: barking at things
[04:22] TG: yeah that sure is a thing
[04:23] GG: i guess those are the main problems
[04:24] GG: other than like
[04:24] GG: but ive only bitten john
[04:24] TG: im sure he deserved it
[04:25] TG: okay so thats fine
[04:25] TG: and personally i think catching stuff in your mouth is an awesome skill and you should keep that one in your back pocket for like ever
[04:25] TG: be fun to play frisbee
[04:26] GG: pfff yeah maybe you think so
[04:26] GG: but what if i was walking around in public and someone tosses something and i just jump up and bite it
[04:26] GG: or worse get hit in the face
[04:26] GG: because im TRYING to bite it
[04:27] GG: i do want to hang out with you guys sometime

[04:30] GG: im going to teach you how to train a dog then
[04:30] TG: youre going to teach me how to train a dog in order for me to train you to not be one
[04:30] GG: well it sounds stupid when you say it like that
[04:31] GG: but considering the dog part of me is from my own dog i think it makes sense
[04:32] GG: anyway when bec did something bad i just popped him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper
[04:33] TG: well alright then
[04:34] GG: and if he was good i would give him a treat
[04:34] TG: hows jelly beans sound
[04:35] TG: i was thinking of throwing jelly beans at you rather than bapping you on the nose with a newspaper anyway so cant they double as a treat
[04:35] TG: i think i just want jelly beans and im projecting
[04:35] GG: yeah i think you are
[04:35] TG: but still do you like jelly beans
[04:35] GG: besides id just catch them in my mouth
[04:35] TG: id throw them at the back of your head obviously
[04:36] TG: get a slingshot
[04:36] GG: dave!! *CHORTLE*
[04:36] GG: that actually sounds like it would hurt
[04:36] GG: have you ever been suspended from school for those kinds of shenanigans
[04:36] TG: just launch jelly beans at you from the high wall of a castle that i will build just for the purpose of standing on the top wall of in order to launch jelly beans at you
[04:37] TG: no i didnt shenan much in school
[04:37] GG: so you were a good student
[04:38] GG: ok so you werent a good student
[04:38] GG: but you werent a bad student
[04:39] GG: did you just sleep in class is that it
[04:40] TG: but usually i doodled a bunch of random crap
[04:42] TG: eventually id fill them up and thered be no room for notes and id have to get a new one so what little notes i did manage to take were lost with the previous book
[04:42] TG: but its not like i studied much either
[04:43] GG: i always used to think about how could it would be to go to school with a bunch of other kids
[04:44] TG: *slowly crunches a chip* mm
[04:46] GG: but i stopped worrying about that when i met you three
[04:46] GG: because you were obviously the coolest kids out there :D
[04:47] GG: i still wonder what it might have been like though
[05:00] TG: *thinks it might be nice to let her imagine school being a fun thing rather than pointing out its horrors like he had with her damn refrigerator; from imagining the environment picking her apart because she was smart and capable of holding her own, how they'd want to take that from her, make her feel ashamed of it, make her feel ashamed for the little things like her glasses or her teeth when there was nothing wrong with them in the slightest--to imagining her fitting right in from the get go, from growing up surrounded with people who would love her because she would be kind and make friends early on that it wouldn't be a problem later. Imagining how different things might be if she had grown up somewhere different, how that atmosphere might shape her and make her need them less. Him less. He didn't want to say anything like that because he was sure whatever he wound up telling her would be wrong in whatever universe Jade Harley went to public school, and he'd rather let her wonder. He'd rather not know.*
[05:00] TG: different experience for everybody
[05:00] TG: but yeah we are definitely the coolest
[05:00] TG: even if egberts a doof
[05:06] GG: *she's still got the feeling that there's something he's not telling her, but maybe there's a reason for it, and she can't make herself push him to explain. It doesn't matter anyway, because these are their lives now, and she would rather focus on that when it came down to it. She wants to say something about how much she appreciates them all, but she's unsure, and ends up staring through the glass walls again*
[05:07] GG: ... i think its finally starting to lighten up some
[05:12] TG: *glances out the window, too, and finishes up his bag of air (unfortunately.)* yeah i think so
[05:16] GG: wanna go outside? :
[05:16] TG: *smiles a little* sure *holds his hand out for her garbage* done with that
[05:18] GG: oh! hehe *hands him her wrapper, having not even opened her chips*
[05:20] TG: grazie *takes it to crumple it up and stuff it in the plastic bag with his own trash, not making a move to stand because haha your legs are on mine*
[05:29] GG: *retrieves her legs from the chest* *i mean moves her legs and stands up*
[05:30] GG: wanna walk down?
[05:32] TG: as opposed to zapping or *stands up and crumples the bag of crumpled bags*
[05:38] TG: walkings fine *hopes to pass a garbage can* less you wanna zap
[05:41] GG: well i must warn you about the mummies along the way
