So, Becca was kind enough to leave me a prompt. Which I wrote.
Rodney McKay. Madison Square Garden - non-Sheppard related. Go!
1. The first time Rodney had been to Madison Square Garden, he'd been twelve and on the last of his family's ill-fated vacation attempts. He'd wanted to go to the Met, but Jeanie had whined and cried about wanting to see some atrocious band that their father somehow managed to get four tickets to. Jeanie had been so excited that she'd puked all over Rodney's brand new sneakers just as they'd managed to get in the doors.
Suffice to say, Rodney hated Madison Square.
2. The second time Rodney had been to Madison Square Garden, he had been twenty-two, three quarters of his way through his second PhD, and forced to watch his award and grant go to Robert Valleta, a half-assed, wanna-be biologist who'd thought the only hope for science lay in the Amazon rainforest.
Rodney really, really hated Madison Square.
3. The third time Rodney had been to Madison Square Garden, he was well past thirty and Evan had dragged him to an exhibition basketball game between Team USA & Team Canada. Canada won, Evan hadn't cared that Rodney ate half of their combined body weight in hot dogs, and they'd made out in one of the bathrooms for most of the second quarter.
Rodney thought Madison Square might not be as bad as he'd remembered.
And bonus prompts from my own brain because I needed something to distract me from work.
Bob. Choices and feelings.
1. He choose the drums because it was better than getting the shit kicked out of him. He choose the soundboard because it was better than losing his hearing to bad mixing. He choose My Chem because they choose him first.
2. The moment he said "Yes" to filling in for My Chemical Romance, Bob's relationship/friendship/relationship with Jepha burned out. Watching The Used play some festival that Bob can't be bothered remembering the name of, Bob thinks he regrets not trying harder to stay connected.
3. Bob hates squirrels. Evil fluffy motherfuckers of DEATH.
Bob/Ray. First times.
1. The first time Bob and Ray had hooked up, they both thought the other was drunk. Neither has admitted otherwise.
2. The first time Ray had brought Bob home, it was to meet Ray's parents and Bob had hid in the downstairs bathroom for twenty minutes. Bob had thought nothing could hold a candle to the mess that was Warped, but Warped had nothing on twenty of Ray's immediate family members in one room.
3. Ray loves squirrels. In his first, and only, attempt to prove their cuddly greatness to an extremely skeptical Bob, Ray had bought Bob a Rocky stuffed animal and left it on Bob's kit one day before soundcheck. Bob freaked and Ray subsequently spent three hours locked in the bus bathroom. The tiny, six-months-dirty-not-that-it-had-been-clean-to-begin-with, bathroom.
Ray had given up on the squirrels.
In real life news, well. There isn't really anything to update. Life goes on and thank goodness tomorrow is Thursday. Thursday means payday and that there's only one more day until the weekend. OMG.
