Magic Box, Saturday

[demons_death]

John came into the store this morning with a hot cup of coffee and no idea that the number of children on the island had suddenly increased exponentially.

So he calmly sat down with his journal behind the counter, waiting for any customers.

The odds that he would make it through the day still unawares? Yeah, pretty damn low.

"I would like one, please," the little girl said politely when she came in.

John looked at the unfamiliar child. Someone's little sister visiting?

"One what, sweetheart?" he asked.

Helen sighed and pointed to the sign. "A magic box, of course. And I'm not a sweetheart. The priests say I'm a vexation and a scourge even if I am the hand of Uquar."

There was something in that recitation that was jogging John's memory but not fully enough for him to figure out why.

"You don't look like a scourge to me," he said.

After the battle with Arthur, Priestly returned to his mission to find markers and glue. The coke made his hair kinda stick up, but it wasn't enough.

He still had a ring of chocolate around his mouth, and was still wearing his skirt kilt. Didn't matter what the stupid-head prince said, he knew it didn't make him a girl. . . .

He wandered into a random store. "D'you sell markers an' paste?"

John startled at the young boy, though not as much as he would have if he hadn't been on the island for several years.

But still there was staring. "Dean?"

[lovemykilt]

Priestly looked over his shoulder to see who the man was talking to.

John crossed his arms over his chest. This was younger than Dean had ever reverted to before and he had almost forgotten how cute he had been. "Are you supposed to be out alone?"

When they were out of something, Mama would go to the store and get it. So Momoko was looking for 'the store'.

"Hi! Is this the store? Do you gots any jelly, cause we ranned out and toast with no jelly is okay but jelly is bestest so I want some."
