[For Grigg.]

Feb 09, 2009 01:08

Things had gotten a little weird since watching that film reel, sure, but Karen was determined not to let it bother her or inform how she went on living her life on the island. TV-Karen and Real-Karen had split nearly two years ago, and while sure, she would like to have kids one day (and the idea of having them with Nick didn't freak her out at ( Read more... )

A lot of the time Grigg contemplated getting earplugs and shoving them deep, but not too damagingly deep as to make his sister roll her eyes at him into his ears. These times usually came when someone was doing something that he would rather not think about for niceties sake in one of the room's around him.

Then again he couldn't pass up the fact that some of his neighbours turned out to be kind of well, legendary. Nearly tripping over a wayward book, he opened the door to his room with a grin on his face. "Karen, hi."

Karen gave Grigg a bright grin, happy to see he was actually home. It would have been horribly disappointing to get her hopes up just to have him be unavailable. Even if she could have just found him later, or tried the next day.

Logic wasn't applicable when you had the chance to use a real live lightsaber.

"Hi," she said, giving him a small wave. "Are you busy?"

Quickly Grigg turned and looked behind him, as if something pressing and having to be done right then and there would spring out from under the bed and try to eat him.

It didn't.

Instead he was just reminded that he really should clean more often. Shaking his head, he turned to face her once more. "Nope, not really."

"So," Karen drew the word out a bit, "say I wanted a lesson on how to use the Force. Would you be up for it?"

"Of course." Grigg grinned, half rolling his eyes at the idea that he wouldn't be into it. He was kind of that sort of thing all the time. "Let me going get the lightsabre and we can take this outside."

Turning back around, he fumbled around with somethings on one of the shelves for a moment before pulling the precious object down and returning to the door. "Ready?"

callofkaren February 9 2009, 10:42:06 UTC

"Oh, I am so ready," she replied, practically bouncing on her toes in something approaching glee as she spun around to head back downstairs and outside.

To get into a space big and safe enough to use a real lightsaber.

Following her outside Grigg kept a tight, but not too tight grip on his beloved belonging. After all he didn't want to harm it before someone got seriously injured or something.

"Now, apparently none of us are actually qualified to weild this since we've not be trained and could be seriously injured," he told her once they were outside. "Which I was warned about by just you know, Dr Crusher from Star Trek."

callofkaren February 9 2009, 10:55:08 UTC

Karen's eyebrows just about disappeared into her bangs. "Crusher? The Dr. Crusher? Who's next, Captain America? Iron Man's already here."

nerdinacape February 9 2009, 11:25:41 UTC

"Yeah the Dr. Crusher," he nodded before his mouth fell open slightly and he pointed back towards the Boarding House. "Iron Man is here? Pepper Potts lives down the hall from me!"

callofkaren February 9 2009, 11:29:26 UTC

"Of course she does," Karen said, grinning even harder and doing her best to hold back a delighted giggle. "What's Tony Stark without Pepper Potts?"

nerdinacape February 9 2009, 11:39:19 UTC

"Useless," Grigg replied knowing all to well how those comics had worked out. Tony Stark had always needed some woman to keep him from being a complete jerk to the world but the best geniuses always did. "She's...oh man, she looks like Gwyneth Paltrow. She's so hot, is that weird to think?"

callofkaren February 9 2009, 11:48:37 UTC

"Not really," Karen shook her head. "Tony kind of is, too." Not that she'd ever actually admit it to him, but...he was Tony Stark. It worked. "Oh my god, I wish you'd been there when we got him to karaoke Black Sabbath's Iron Man. Were you there?"

nerdinacape February 9 2009, 12:21:42 UTC

"I think that has to be in a comic book by-law somewhere," Grigg observed, believing this to be oddly true. Afterall it seemed like the sort of thing that would get written in by some sort of creator. "You did? What? No! I was...I might've been with Eden by then."

callofkaren February 10 2009, 00:59:17 UTC

If there was anything that could really stop Karen from geeking out over comic book characters, it was Grigg mentioning someone.

A girl, specifically.

"Eden?" she asked, giving him a very interested look.

Mid-gesture of holding the lightsabre out for Karen to take, complete with one hand poised to demonstrate how this just had to be the one Luke used in A New Hope, Grigg froze. It was almost like being caught by one of his sisters, except he with decidely less almost.

"Yeah, Eden McCain," he clarified with a slow nod, clearing his throat a bit. "She's um, a friend of mine. But there's no way you can get out of Iron Man so fast."

callofkaren February 12 2009, 06:00:56 UTC

Usually, there'd be no way Grigg could get out of something like that so fast, but the combination of glee over getting Tony to karaoke and the lightsaber in front of her was too much to take all at once.

"I totally got him to karaoke Iron Man," she said. "And a friend helped, too, but it was pretty much the greatest thing I've ever seen."
