[4] Action/Video: D is for Domestic

[pricesandvaules]

Anyone wandering the orchard today might bump into a certain tall, dark mobster-alien, incongruously equipped with a wicker basket over one arm.
Droog is still nursing injuries from the last event--there are all manner of cracks and cuts and odd, heat-warped places on his carapace hidden beneath clothes and tidily wrapped bandaging, and we're not

SS: > Approach DIAMONDS DROOG picking fruit, question him.

[terrierfancy]

what are you doing

You're not used to seeing DIAMONDS DROOG picking fruit on a hot summer day. Not are you used to, well, fresh fruit in general considering you usually live in a city built on a desert post-apocalyptic planet.

[pricesandvaules]

You live on a post apocalyptic desert planet, a hot summer day in Wonderland is nothing to you. You haven't even taken your suit coat off.

What's it look like? Picking fruit.

You see nothing unusual about this. Hardboiled mobsters are as entitled to fresh produce as anyone else.

[terrierfancy]

This weather is really nothing compared to the weather on post-apocalyptic Alternia. You're used to the weather changing from oh fuck hot to holy shit cold just by shifting from day to night. It does horrible things to a carapace, let you tell you.

why are you picking fruit
you can just get it from the kitchen
all cut up and everything

[pricesandvaules]

This is better. It's fresher.

And you're tired of sitting around licking your wounds, but Slick doesn't have to know that.

[terrierfancy]

just ask for fresher fruit from the kitchen dumbass
or go to the dining room itll give you whatever you want

[pricesandvaules]

It's not the same.

Okay well it kind of is but you don't need the extra reminder that it's Wonderland's generosity--and, by extension, this mysterious Queen of Hearts figure--keeping you alive.

I don't like the dining room.

[terrierfancy]

yeah whatever you say
i cant cook so i dont have much of a choice
dining room or starve
and id rather not starve when this place will just drop a cooked steak in front of me

[pricesandvaules]

I cook.

......I REPLIED TO THIS DAYS AGO B( also yes on the claws. i just see them with gloves~

[terrierfancy]

yeah but im too lazy to go looking for you
but if i ask you to come cook me something and you say youll come without throwing a fit

then ill take you up on that

You aren't dumb. You know a GOOD DEAL when you're presented with one. You will not look the gift horse hitcher in the mouth.

(perfect! mafia gloves)

[pricesandvaules]

I will if you get on the goddamn radio every once in a while.

Cooking is a small price to pay if you can get Slick to check in. Snowman is here and you're down two men. You worry.

Yes! :> Exactly!

[terrierfancy]

yeah well i do what i want
you could always radio me too

You don't MIND using the 10-4 CARDS you just tend to get a little distracted. What with all of the events that keep popping up you find it's easy to get in pretty deep. ...You might also have just been nursing your own wounds, but you sure as hell aren't going to tell DIAMONDS DROOG that. Fuck that.

but fine
no bitching if i make you come cook me something
you busy

Besides looking around for stupid ripe fruit that he could easily get from the kitchen, anyway.

[pricesandvaules]

Yes.

Because you're looking for awesome ripe fruit that you can't get from the kitchen. But you just said you'd make yourself available, and Slick is the boss. You sometimes do what he says.

What do you want?

[terrierfancy]

i dont know
make me something

You are craving something SWEET... though you're not sure if that's such a good idea. You don't really want Droog to make you anything fruity. Ha. Okay that was terrible you just aren't going to say that out loud ever.

something with meat in it

feferi is apparently making cake. slick should come share.

[pricesandvaules]

Fine.

That really was pretty awful but who's counting. It isn't like you're aware of the narration anyway.

You head mansion-ward.

and where is thissss links and I'll do it 8)

[terrierfancy]

great

You follow after him. Shoving your hand into your pocket... even if it doesn't look nearly as cool as it did when you had two hands, but that's sort of out of your control. YOU didn't rip your arm off and you sure as hell aren't going to lose the only one you have left thanks to huge bitches with whips. You're still doing your best to avoid her now...

Especially after all that vampire bullshit.

got an idea what to make

[pricesandvaules]

You mentioned steak. That what you want?
