Concordia, Elpis. Outside Springs' Emporium of Stuff [Wednesday]

[boneyard_girl]

Ada'd spent most of the week handwavily camped out here, when she wasn't in class. The woman who ran the place didn't seem to mind, so long as Ada was up to her elbows in spare parts and was willing to listen to stories about the owner's pretty girlfriend. Who, to be fair, was really pretty, and pretty badass to boot

Dante'd been spending a lot of time out on Elpis. There wasn't any shortage of monsters to take down out there; since other distractions weren't always working as well as they used to, he was happy to hurl himself into wholesale violence.

But now he was done for the day. Ready to go back-- to Moxxi's, to use what money he'd picked up fighting to buy a few cocktails. But that took him past Springs', which wouldn't have meant anything, but-- "Hey, I spot a mermaid on the horizon."

"Lot of dangerous things out there that need killing," Dante said. He lifted his chin. "Moon buggies, huh?"

[boneyard_girl]

"Yup," she said, grinning. "We should go for a spin in th' low gravity, an' you can ride shotgun."

With a shotgun, if there were that many dangerous things out there.

[rebelseekspizza]

Heyyy, shotgun. Never had one of those before.

"That is a fantastic fucking idea," Dante decided. "Better than sitting around this place. Though if I'm riding shotgun, I'm bringing drinks."

[boneyard_girl]

It was the firearm Ada was best at! Shotguns, she knew how to use.

"Drinks an' sandwiches or somethin' and we'll have a moon picnic," Ada laughed. "If'n Miz Janey will let us take one for a test-drive."

Considering how much free labor she'd gotten out of Ada this week, the answer would hopefully be 'yes.'

"You're bored outta your skull around here, huh?"

[rebelseekspizza]

"I can find things to do," Dante said, half shrugging. "Just don't like sitting still."

Hadn't since the end of spring, but it'd been even worse since the reunion.

[boneyard_girl]

"Haaaate sittin' still," Ada agreed, raising her cola to him in a toast. "Current break from putterin' around with stuff excluded b'cause of the company. I gotta at least keep m' hands busy, or my brain starts spinnin' around like mad and ain't no one wants a bored Ada on their hands."

"'M brain starts chewin' on shit t' do an' everything ends up covered in glitter. 'S tragic, really."

[rebelseekspizza]

"I've got no problems with glitter, if you've got some to share around," Dante said. "Maybe touch up the sides of my head."

He smoothed his fingers over the short hair for a moment. Probably had to buzz it up again soon.

"I was going to swing past Moxxi's to get some drinks," he said. "Did you know monsters drop cash out here?"

[boneyard_girl]

"I'll do your hair for you anytime y'want," Ada promised. "We'll get you lookin' sharp." And shiny.

"They drop cash? Really?" Ada's eyes narrowed. "So if'n 'm your driver an' we run over a bunch of monsters for you t' shoot, I get a cut, right?"

[rebelseekspizza]

"Honest pay for some smashing teamwork," Dante said, smirking. "Maybe more if you do touch me up after. Maybe put some color in my hair, or something."

[boneyard_girl]

"I could give you some dashing neon-red tips or streaks or somethin'," she mused, nevermind that red was pretty much the only color she'd seen him in besides black or gray. "Look real sharp with that smile of yours, or a bright blue."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Nah, blue's not my color," Dante said, grinning. He ran his hand over his 'hawk. "But red, sure. Keep things nice and fresh, right?"

[boneyard_girl]

"Blue would bring out your eyes nice an' sweet," Ada cajoled, laughing. "Red it is, an' I can touch up th' sides if'n you want while the dye sets." She'd noticed the way he'd smoothed his fingers along the sides. "You an' Roscoe might need to fight it out for sharpest-lookin' boy at th' school."

She'd sell popcorn and tickets to that match-up.

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante snickered. "Nah, I think I'll let ol' Roscoe head up the fashion aisle," he said. "I'll just go for most bangable."

He fluttered his eyelashes at her.

At least right now his heart was in it.

[boneyard_girl]

"Don't worry, you easily win for most bangable boy I know," Ada promised, smirking at his outrageous flirting. "At least for now."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Oh, so I gotta watch my ass, is what you're saying," Dante said, looking Very Alarmed up at the sky as he gave her a nudge with his shoulder. "If you find a more bangable boy, let me know. I gotta be prepared."
