Got a joke for you, Barge.

Knock knock.

(I'll answer for you) Who's there?

Norma Lee.

Norma Lee who?

Normalee I don't go telling dumb knock-knock jokes, but hey, I just woke up from a fucking week-long nap!

And Clapet, buddy? We need to talk.

...that is terrible.

You're back, though! I'm coming down.

[pause]

Where are you?

actuallyagolem March 8 2011, 01:31:09 UTC

I know, I know. That's why I'm a barber, not a comedian.

I'm in my cabin now.

453gof_flesh March 8 2011, 01:35:00 UTC

Stick to your day job.

I'll be down.

[And he is outside, hammering on Donny's door, just a little impatiently.]

[And Donny's yelling as he hurries to answer the door. A week spent sleeping left his muscles feeling out of whack.]

I'm coming, hold your horses!

[He pulls it open with a grin though.]

Hiya, Clapet.

Re: spam 453gof_flesh March 8 2011, 01:43:19 UTC

[Clapet just raised an eyebrow and stepped inside,] I can't hold any horses, Donny. I ate them for dinner.

[He pauses, and takes another step inside,]

That, by the way, is a decent joke.

Re: spam actuallyagolem March 8 2011, 01:48:13 UTC

[Donny's brow gets raised.]

What? Me telling you to hold your horses, or you telling me that you ate them? [He swings the door shut behind his inmate, figure they were going to have a Serious Talk.] Because if you mean you, then that's that's not a joke, that's just restating a fact.

Re: spam 453gof_flesh March 8 2011, 01:55:09 UTC

But in a non-serious context, which makes it a...

[He shakes his head.]

Never mind.

[He looks over at Donny and grins just a little, then, without any warning, pulls him into a giant, butcher's man hug]

I told 'em you'd come back. Promised them.

Re: spam actuallyagolem March 8 2011, 02:07:08 UTC

[Donny reacts the way a son who shares his affection with his father through punching might if suddenly that father decided to HUG IT OUT instead. He freezes up and stares at the wall, thinking...this is the guy who stabbed him. Twice.

But then finally Donny returns the hug. He thumps Clapet on the shoulder and even laughs a little. Why the fuck not?]

Yeah, of course, Clapet, of course.

Re: spam 453gof_flesh March 8 2011, 02:08:25 UTC

[Clapet gives him a slap on the shoulder, a little awkwardly, then takes a step back,]

No, no, you came back.

I thought I might even be fucking lying when I said it, so you came back. That's a big deal.

Re: spam actuallyagolem March 8 2011, 02:18:13 UTC

[Donny returns the slap with a shoulder punch, because YEAH, MANLY.]

Clapet, wheah the fuck was I supposed to go, huh? Of course I was gonna come back.

Re: spam 453gof_flesh March 8 2011, 02:23:16 UTC

[Clapet shrugged,]

Out there? [Yeah, he still sounds a little afraid, but covers it by moving on quickly,] You could have just been ant food.

Re: spam actuallyagolem March 8 2011, 02:24:53 UTC

Apparently I was.

[Shudder. Pause.]

Sveta told me what happened.

Re: spam 453gof_flesh March 8 2011, 02:32:01 UTC

[He looked at Donny darkly.]

Good. Then we don't have to go over it.

Re: spam actuallyagolem March 8 2011, 02:36:45 UTC

[Hey! There's the Clapet he knows and loves. Sorta.]

Actually, we do. Mainly I want to know what made you back down and why you went to apologize to Sveta.

Re: spam 453gof_flesh March 8 2011, 02:39:05 UTC

[He turns away and paces a little around the space there is in Donny's room,]

I didn't go there to apologise. It just sort of happened.

Re: spam actuallyagolem March 8 2011, 02:40:31 UTC

[Donny just crosses his arms and watches his inmate begin to pace.]

What were you going to do instead?
