Men At Work
Who: Jason Stackhouse
When: Late Morning
Where: A road in disrepair somewhere in Bon Temps.
What: Men very hard at work, and most definitely not spreading town gossip.
"Nah were talking," Jason furrowed his brows, deep in concentration as his palms grasped large chunks of air, "Like this, no lie." Eventually Jason's hands shifted to shape the air again, but at a much lower height. "And all of that, covered in leather." Throughout his demonstration, Jason's face was dead serious. He wasn't exaggerating a single detail, here.
"Don't tell me, Jason...she didn't end up going home with you, did she?" Hoyt asked, eyes clearly hoping for the contrary.
It was the time of their work day where the sun kept them from doing anything other than sweating. This was the perfect time for talk, since it was all they could do to pass the time until it was time to get some food. Today Jason had started off with telling his friends all about Amelia, the new girl in town that just happened to be staying with his sister and Gran. From there, it wasn't long until he revealed that not only was there a new girl in town, which was pretty damn rare, but she wasn't the only one! The mystery new girl would be the one who's demensions Jason had been carving out the air. He'd politely left out such details on Amelia, of course.
"Nah. I was out with Sook and Amelia, but I didn't even get to introduce myself, either. Someone else got to her first."
"Who?!"
"A vamp!"
"Vampire Bill...?"
"Hello no! It was a lady vampire."
"Oh!" It took a moment, but Hoyt's cheeks quickly reddened. "You don't mean...."
Jason could only nod, as he started to catch a blush of his own. "That's exactly what I mean...."
"Wow..." Hoyt said, before falling to a sort of amazed silence.
"I know, right?!"
Rene and Lafayette reacted a little more strongly to the morning gossip. Specifically, it started Lafayette off on one of his sermons, which although he might not understand all of em, he always did find them entertaining to listen to. Something about how when it's two dudes, everyone's got a problem, but when it's two ladies, guys ain't go no problems with blah blah blah blah. Jason's excuse for all that, "That's cuz when it's two dudes it ain't hot!", just seemed to get Layfayette fired right back up.
Rene could only shake his head, and say something about how people raised kids in this town, and how they shouldn't be so quick to welcome newcomers, not without getting to know them better, first.
The lady vamp was way different than the only other vampire he'd seen before-- that awful fucker in Maudette's home movie. Which was weird, seeing as the whole damn town had gone and become on a first name basis with that Bill, even though Jason had yet to see the guy for himself, despite even Sookie talking his ear off about him.
Whatever, Jason didn't need to understand why things were different when it was a lady vampire. All he needed to know was that it was way hot.
