(no subject)
Expect a fic recs post when I get home. Or later this afternoon, depending on how little I have to do here.
I cannot get over this.
more the engrish!
varadia: (OKay, I am now imagining X confronted by that sign. And. Esther. SHe would TOTALLY EARNESTLY INFORM SOMEONE SHE HAD NO OCTOPUS, WHERE CAN SHE GET ONE?)
Me: (*DIES LAUGHING* *FULL OF LOVE* Someone clearly needs to post this sign behind the bar or something. IT MUST BE SO.)
Lynne: (And this is, again, why I say X is the best straight man in the business. I SWEAR. Alec should appreciate her. It gives him more range.)
always_okay: Here, don't freak out. And don't ask me why I had an octopus in my pocket.
cutting_edgex23: *accepts gravely* Okay. *beat* You are not happy.
Alec: Come on, it was gross! And still kind of alive. If I want something with that many limbs down in my bathing suit area, I will damn well get it in other ways.
X: That does not make sense. *beat* You are not wearing a bathing suit. *longer pause* Or underwear.
Alec: *WTF look*
X: *placid stare*
Alec: I don't even want to ask about how you practice honing a skill like that. Is there a guess and check method?
X: *blinks again* You are wearing very tight pants. And you tuck on the left. *says that very carefully* *has been coached* *by Lilly*
Alec: ...you know what, here. Just. Take the freaking octopus. You're lucky I don't throw it at you.
X: *takes the octopus* *carefully deposits it on teh counter* Here is my octopus. And 494's. He brought it.
Octopus dude: You're the first person all day to do it properly. Congratulations!
Alec: *so, so dubious* This is five seconds away from no good deed going unpunished, isn't it.
Alec: *receives an octopus hat* *with dangly thingers* *and bug eyes*
X: *gets a T-shirt*
O. T. P.
*takes a bow*
