Nov 26, 2011 21:41

ARIES
- You'll get 'The Devil Went Down to Georgia' stuck in your head for the next week.
- You will find a turtle in your laundry.
- Just go sleep on the couch tonight. You don't want to know why.
- Hide it, no one saw!

[ Like everyone else, Lightning wasn't really sure what to think about the odd message that showed up at the front of her ( Read more... )

It's a turtle!

[voice] thestormishere November 27 2011, 05:14:57 UTC

[ Looooong pause. You might say the silence is audible in itself, even, because while usually that would mean she hasn't gotten around to picking up her journal again or whatever-- no, she's there, and she's judging you, Yukito. ]

Does this animal look like it can swim to you?

[voice] winged_moon November 27 2011, 06:14:03 UTC

[Here's another pause, but it's because he's confused.]

Does it matter if it can swim?

...oh! Did you find it in water somewhere?

[voice] thestormishere November 27 2011, 06:43:09 UTC

... No. [ Thankfully, she found it before it got the chance to go swimming with her underthings in the washer! ] And yeah, that pretty much makes all the difference?

[ Confusing, isn't she? Not that she cares right now- he should totally know this already! ]

[voice] winged_moon November 27 2011, 06:45:54 UTC

Really? Why is that?

[See, now you've gone and made him curious.]

[voice] thestormishere November 27 2011, 19:59:12 UTC

Because I looked it up. [ Yet another significant pause, apparently in preparation for finally bringing the Truth to light here. ] This is a tortoise. Not a turtle.

[voice] winged_moon November 27 2011, 22:48:46 UTC

Oh, I see.

[He pauses for a moment to consider that fact.]

Is it your pet?

[voice] thestormishere November 28 2011, 03:40:04 UTC

No. I just found it a few hours ago.

[ The spot in her life for a pet? Already very much filled, thanks anyway. She doubts this thing even does much in the way of useful pet mannerisms anyway, regardless of it... probably being a lot less likely to steal her socks than her dog. What a bore. ]

[voice] winged_moon November 28 2011, 06:43:18 UTC

[Why she cares so strongly about the turtle/tortoise thing if it isn't her pet or anything is a little puzzling, but all right. It isn't like Yukito cares very strongly either way. He's just confused.]

Did you find it in the water?

[voice] thestormishere November 28 2011, 23:19:45 UTC

No.

[ New game: just how many times is she going to say 'no?' Stay tuned to find out! ]

[voice] winged_moon November 29 2011, 01:44:22 UTC

[Ooh, he knows this game! It's like talking to Yue.]

So... why do you have a tortoise, then, if it isn't your pet?

[voice] thestormishere December 1 2011, 06:33:35 UTC

[ No-- okay, maybe. At least she acts mostly human once you get to know her, though. ]

Thing at the front of my journal? Said I'd--

Find a turtle in my laundry.

[ Y E P. And that's where the tail end of her words muffles out a bit... probably because she's ducked her head in endless annoyance. ]

[voice] winged_moon December 1 2011, 10:56:38 UTC

Oh, but you didn't. Did you?

[voice] thestormishere December 2 2011, 02:37:05 UTC

[ Scandalized silence! However, if he listens carefully, perhaps Yukito can hear the sound of something crumbling as a particular super-strong woman utterly crushes it in her hands. No, no she did not.

BECAUSE IT'S A FUCKING TORTOISE. ]

[voice] winged_moon December 4 2011, 22:20:35 UTC

Hm. Well, that's odd, then.

Maybe there's a turtle there, as well?

[And his cheer remains utterly unchanged the entire time. Maybe he's just that oblivious.]

[voice] thestormishere December 5 2011, 21:27:33 UTC

Who knows.

[ But doubtful, since she's done all the laundry now.

... And basically, she is sooo done with this conversation, too. Countdown to Yukito continuing to talk into a 'dropped call?' ]
