Fifth Cabbage Joke | Action

[bitchingwhores]

[Oh, there has to be a way to do this without being so bumbling!

Adachi-mun seems to be having trouble getting used to this whole playing a sociopathic misogynist deal. He's got the bumbling part down, but he's really at a loss for this one! LARPing this guy is proving to be a real challenge!

You'll find him wandering the halls aimlessly,

[Somebody else is trying (and sort of failing) to get through the day without overacting and making a fool of herself. Playing the not-so-distressed damsel is harder than it looks, and on occasion she even has to look up something to make sure her references are entirely period-accurate.

It's a tough life being such a perfectionist.

In fact, Evelyn!mun is right in the middle of reading up on popular radio programs in 1925. So distracted is she by this engrossing literature that she walks right into somebody else and drops her book in surprise.]

[Hey, you know who else is making a total fool of himself? This guy! Everything is so out of place about him, even more so than usual!

He's not exactly all there either, so when he's bumped into, he flails and makes an 'eep'-ing sound. Um. Um. Oh, man!

Should he pull out his gun? Oh, man, what do assholes do? ...Oh no, she dropped her book!]

I'm sorry!

[And he's immediately diving down to pick up her book.]

I'm really sorry! I should've been paying more attention!

[libraritology]

Oh!

[She lets him lunge after the book since he seems so set on it, and smiles gratefully as soon as it's returned.]

No, I'm sorry, I should have sat down to read instead of...of waltzing around the hallway.

[Evelyn laughs sheepishly.]

Forgive me?

[bitchingwhores]

No, no, it's okay! It's all my fault! I mean, I wasn't even looking!

[Adachi, no, let's call him Awkardachi for this, bites at his bottom lip. That's a genuinely guilty look he has.]

I'm sorry. I'm so careless!

[He's so ill-prepared for this.]

I should have guessed you'd be walking around on this floor, but it...didn't really click...

[libraritology]

There's no need to apologize.

[She grins, tucking her bookmark back between a couple of pages before snapping the book itself shut.]

No harm done. Are you all right?

[bitchingwhores]

But I ran into you, and that was really rude, and-- Um. Okay, if you say so.

[He actually stops babbling when she says it's okay.]

Yeah, I'm fine! Don't worry about it! It's just, I still feel really bad about all this.

[libraritology]

It's just a book.

[She reminds him gently.]

I was doing some research. Rather boring stuff to you, I'm sure. How have you been recently?
