Yes, that's a transparent plot device Forrest Gump sitting in the Nexus with a box of chocolates, waiting for a bus.

Why don't you sit down, tell him a story and he'll trade you a chocolate for it?

(( Of course, being an obvious plot device, you don't have to actually tell a story or any of that crap.))

And so, being the Good Samaritan that she is, Njoki stops to talk with Forrest, has a chocolate and wanders off so her typist doesn't have to self-thread any longer. :P

[deadman_grey]

Grey's typist has him wander through and perhaps follow after Njoki, because self-threading is never fun. :3

Forrest gets some company in the form of one of the new people in the Nexus. It's a tall fellow with a neatly trimmed beard and curly red hair.

As he sits down and rubs his eyes, it doesn't seem like he's after a conversation. From the looks of him, he's more after a break than anything else.

But then he looks at the man next to him. "Holy shit, that's Forrest Gump. Seems it's true; the Nexus do get everyone."

"Hey."

[miscellanea]

"Hello." :D "Are you waiting for the bus too?"

[killer_saver]

"The buss?" He looks around. The Nexus has busses? "No, I'm just resting my legs a bit. Didn't know this place had busses."

[miscellanea]

Forrest looks up at the sign and then back to Ford. "The sign says the bus is coming, so I'll wait and it'll come."

"Would you like a chocolate?"

[snakebiteluci]

Yes, Luci knows the movie, but let's just say feel good flicks aren't her genre.

She does, however, like chocolate. It goes hand in hand with that crazy bitch thing.

So, she grabs a treat. Yum, raspberry!

[miscellanea]

Oh, well, he hadn't offered yet, but sometimes that happens. She probably needed a bit of a sugar-y pick-me-up.

[snakebiteluci]

The mun apologizes for Luci's rudeness, but Luci does not. She has a bit of a problem in that area. Sorry, Forrest. She really must not like you're movie.

Brody plops his tiny gothy ass down. "Hi! Mind if I sit here?" Too bad, he already has.

[miscellanea]

"Hi. You can sit. It's a pretty good bench." Chocolate? :D? C'mon little boy, take candy from a stranger, Tom Hanks looks 100% wholesome, doesn't he?

[campjesus]

"It is! Not all wobbly or nothin'." ...He eyes the chocolates a little suspiciously, because he knoooows he's not supposed to take food from the Nexus, but this guy seems nice, and Brody's an idiot...

[miscellanea]

"That's what I thought. It's a good place to wait for the bus." Not only because of the bench, but because of the bus stop -- it's a winning combo.

[prodigalsith]

He notices the bus sign, and looks at it and then at Forrest curiously.

"Hello."

[miscellanea]

"Hello!" :D "How are you?"

[prodigalsith]

"Quite well." Actually, really awesomely good. :) "You are waiting on the bus?" He can infer things from signage!

[miscellanea]

"Waiting to get on the bus. Yes." He is waiting on the bench, you see.

"Would you like a chocolate?"
