A Mall on the Mainland [Monday afternoon]

[dirtiest_skank]

Sure, Christmas had been in the air since...well, let's face it, mid-October. But Olive had somehow, aside from her excursion on Black Friday, managed to avoid a lot of it, and was still in dire need of a few gifts. And more upsettingly -- there were people, with whom she associated, who had never seen Santa. (What. Sia, are you real life? What

Arrive/Gawk

Mod yourself some decorations and passers-by being insane. I saw a lady literally dragging a toddler along the ground at the mall the other day. Poor kid was just like, "I give up, life is too hard."

"It was between that and Carbonara," Jessica said. "Judging by my naming skills, I'm apparently in the mood for Italian food."

Re: Arrive/Gawk

"Carbonara is obviously superior, Jessica," Olive tsked. "There's bacon in it. Bacon."

"Better as a sauce, worse as a middle name," Jessica said. "I will stand by this opinion forever."

Re: Arrive/Gawk

"It'd be awesome if my middle name was just straight-up 'Bacon,'" Olive decided. "I wouldn't even mind being in trouble because I'd get to be called 'Olive Bacon.'"

"I would never stop asking my dear friend, Olive Baking, for cookies," Jessica said. "You're better off the way you are, Bolognese."

"I feel like I'm doomed to this horribly false middle name," Olive mused, "but at least now I sort of have an alias."

Re: Arrive/Gawk

[craftyladyparts]

"You'll have many aliases, because I'll get bored of this one and name you something else soon enough," Jessica said. "And then you could pretty much become a spy, like on that show about the people with aliases."

Comedy.

"Where will I find all those wigs, Jessica?" Olive asked practically. "Where?"

Re: Arrive/Gawk

[craftyladyparts]

"The wig store is that way," Jessica said, pointing helpfully.

Re: Arrive/Gawk

[dirtiest_skank]

"One for each alias," Olive decided. "I'll be unrecognizable by the end of the day."

Re: Arrive/Gawk

[craftyladyparts]

"You only have one alias so far," Jessica pointed out.

"Mutant," Atton decided after a beat. "It's the only possibility."

Re: Arrive/Gawk

[craftyladyparts]

"Hey now. I already gave two other possibilities and could come up with several more," Jessica said. "They're just very unlikely."

[OOC: I have yet to fall asleep, so I can sneak a few pings before, you know, falling asleep!]

Re: Arrive/Gawk

[suitablyheroic]

"Nah, that's definitely a mutant. Facial hair doesn't grow that way," said the guy who always shaved.

[[ Yay! ... sorry about the late ping, I just had a 'crap, these two haven't talked to each other in a while' moment. ]]

Re: Arrive/Gawk

[craftyladyparts]

"You haven't seen the facial hair I've seen," Jessica said. "I've seen mutton chops that will haunt my dreams the rest of my life."

[No worries! Time zones and no LJ at work for me will do that.]
