... last minute birthday present?

... for who?

ajrimmer_ssc May 2 2010, 01:16:20 UTC

[They are in the living room! He is looking around in a panic! Please don't let her overhear this...!]

Who do you think?

battothefuture May 2 2010, 01:19:17 UTC

[Suddenly- Whoa, what? But hey, Terry is a good guy. He lowers his voice as well. Well okay it's more of a disbelieving hiss, but...]

You're joking.

ajrimmer_ssc May 2 2010, 01:20:33 UTC

No! What with the wedding planning and work and everything else, it totally slipped my mind until just now!

battothefuture May 2 2010, 01:24:57 UTC

... she didn't even tell me.

All right, well. Provided you manage to figure anything out, do you have any way to get whatever without her noticing?

ajrimmer_ssc May 2 2010, 01:26:24 UTC

The only thing I can think of is...figuring out some way to get things overnighted here...oh, smeg, tomorrow's Sunday! No deliveries.

battothefuture May 2 2010, 01:27:41 UTC

[... slight sigh.]

How last minute is this?

ajrimmer_ssc May 2 2010, 01:30:08 UTC

Her birthday is tomorrow.

[See Rimmer. See Rimmer guilt trip. Trip, Rimmer, trip.]

battothefuture May 2 2010, 01:34:20 UTC

[There is a pause as Terry considers this.]

... all right.

If you can figure out some way to order something in the city so it's ready, or even just give me the cash and tell me where to go, I might be able to, uh. Smuggle it in. If it's small. If not then you're on your own, there is no way I'd be able to get her to teleport me and a piano without her noticing.

ajrimmer_ssc May 2 2010, 01:35:32 UTC

Well, she's already got a piano, so we're set there.

God, would you? That would be...really very nice of you.

battothefuture May 2 2010, 01:38:21 UTC

Hey, there's a reason she likes me, you know. And... I wouldn't want her birthday to be a disappointment.

ajrimmer_ssc May 2 2010, 01:43:36 UTC

Really? I thought she liked you for your Batman outfit. Got a bit of a fetish there, I think...

[HE IS JOKING OH GOD.]

All right, here's the plan, then. I'm going to look online, see what I can order tonight if anything. And then we'll go from there.

I owe you one, McGinnis.

battothefuture May 2 2010, 01:59:27 UTC

[He laughs a little.]

Sorry, no way I'm letting you borrow it.

All right, but you'd better hurry. Some places might close early, and it's already getting late.

ajrimmer_ssc May 2 2010, 02:00:45 UTC

I don't think it'd fit me anyway.

[He's already got out his iPhone and is searching for things! And stuff!]

battothefuture May 2 2010, 02:22:24 UTC

[Terry considers saying that he never had any problems, but that seems like it would be inviting trouble, so he decides not to.]

I've got to go in an hour or less, or she'll really start wondering. In the mean time I can... I don't know, be working on some Batarangs. Hurry.

[And off Terry goes to add explosives to his earless Batarangs, because hey. It's an excuse. And he does need to do it some time.]
