.100 [Spam/Lazy Log] aka Rafe has no social life, even on New Year's Eve

Jan 01, 2012 00:02

[OOC: Spam or log format if anyone would like to play out gift reactions, the last of the December mistletoe, Narvin hating the cold, or anything else. Like a lazy day-in-the-life, Holiday Edition.]

[Elsewhere on the Barge...]

[In theory, Jesse's trying to get a reading on the thingamabob (okay, okay, he knows what it's called. Maybe.). But he keeps glancing over at Narvin, giving him strange looks. Finally, he clears his throat.]

So, uh... Katy Perry?

The lab! timesbureaucrat January 1 2012, 22:55:18 UTC

[Narvin doesn't look up from the device he's gently prodding with an ionitrosmic probe, but his brow furrows slightly in confusion.]

What?

[The name's unfamiliar. Not someone on the Barge. He's not sure if it's someone Jesse knows, or a public figure, or some obscure person from Earth history, and he's *very* not sure what's made Jesse mention it.]

The lab! yeahscience January 1 2012, 23:05:23 UTC

That CD I got for Christmas -- that was from you, right? [And really, only an alien could take one look at Jesse and come up with Katy fucking Perry as a good idea.]

The lab! timesbureaucrat January 2 2012, 01:05:15 UTC

Unless others got you music as well, yes. What of it?

The lab! yeahscience January 2 2012, 05:03:47 UTC

Well... you know, what made you pick that one? [He sounds like he's maybe looking for a particular answer, here.]

The lab! timesbureaucrat January 2 2012, 05:24:20 UTC

[It pings Narvin's "fishing for information" senses and puts him a bit on guard. He looks up from his work at last and pushes the polarized goggles up on his forehead.]

Is it important?

The lab! yeahscience January 2 2012, 23:07:21 UTC

Nah. Nah. [Jesse turns back to the machines, rubbing at an imaginary spot on some equipment.] Ain't no big, yo. I was just... wondering. If there was a, like, reason.

The lab! timesbureaucrat January 3 2012, 04:24:35 UTC

No, no reason. [He says nonchalantly as he pulls his goggles back down and returns to his work. He might be lying. With Narvin it's sometimes hard to tell. He *always* seems a bit shifty about something or another.]

The lab! yeahscience January 3 2012, 07:58:21 UTC

So you didn't, like... pick it out for any song, or anything? [Jesse totally thinks he's lying. JESSE KNOWS WHAT'S UP, MR. NARVIN.]

The lab! timesbureaucrat January 3 2012, 08:14:11 UTC

And why would I do that?

Re: The lab! yeahscience January 3 2012, 08:16:54 UTC

I dunno, man. Why would you? [Sadly, this is Jesse's version of being clever.]

The lab! timesbureaucrat January 3 2012, 08:21:27 UTC

[Narvin sighs in exasperation. He's not sure what Jesse is trying to get at or what sort of information he's evidently looking for.]

While we're on the subject of gifts, why a toy lab set? You do realize that I don't have children, don't you?

The lab! yeahscience January 3 2012, 08:24:00 UTC

What? I figured you'd think it was funny. All our... dumb monkey human science, or whatever.

The lab! timesbureaucrat January 3 2012, 08:31:10 UTC

Ah. Yes, very amusing. Thank you.

In my relative time, humans have managed to develop moderately reliable time travel, despite being a fairly primitive, short-lived and quick-tempered race. [It might have supposed to have been a bit of a compliment, a statement that Narvin doesn't think that human science is all dumb monkey science. But somehow the compliment gets mostly lost in Time Lord xenophobia.]

The lab! yeahscience January 3 2012, 08:34:21 UTC

[Jesse has become used to this, so he just rolls his eyes and snarks right back.] Awesome. I'm so glad we get over being total morons. [He may be primitive, short-lived, and quick-tempered, but he's also... well, mouthy. Hooray?]

So there's really nothing... special about that CD.
