It could be worse.

It could be August.

[coolbowtie]

Shut up.

I like August.

[notalwystrthful]

I'm just saying.

Though, what's great about August?

[coolbowtie]

It's the start of a new part of the year. The end of summer, leading into fall. Lot's of cool things start in August.

[notalwystrthful]

There is that lull that tends to be rather off-putting, but I can see how you'd like August.

Though, I do have a small suggestion or two if you'd like to hear it.

[coolbowtie]

[The sound of sniffling and nose blowing.]

Fine. I'll do you a favor and listen.

[notalwystrthful]

[ Oh, hey. She has the same problem, so there's some sniffling on her end, too. ]

I've noticed that there is a lack of creativity around here, so perhaps we should hold a fair of some kind? Science would be a good one, or even something that challenges people to think outside of the box.

[coolbowtie]

No.

I hate fairs. Nothing good ever happens at fairs. I won't be attending any such thing.

[notalwystrthful]

May I ask why?

[coolbowtie]

It always involves things.

Sometimes two things.

And a lizard.

[notalwystrthful]

What, does the lizard mutate and decide to wreak havoc on poor, unsuspecting people by thinking that humans are also now flies?

[coolbowtie]

Something like that.

[notalwystrthful]

So I see.

And, well... what do you like to do, then?

[coolbowtie]

Dunno. Lot's of things. But there's a time and place for things to be done and it's all about picking what's the most exciting thing at the time.

[He says sagely. Until he sneezes and there's a clatter as he drops the phone.]

[notalwystrthful]

... Gesundheit.

[ She'll just... wait until he's on the other line again. ]

[coolbowtie]

Thanks, at least some people have manners.

[Everyone just mocked his cold... he needs new friends.]
