Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

Jul 02, 2011 02:02

In order to give people a place to get away from the traffic jam of the buffet and information tables, most of the chairs and tables for guests were set up further out on the lawn, under a tall blue and gold tent. There was plenty of room for everyone to sit down and enjoy themselves, but it might not have all been dry. Did we mention being ( Read more... )

"Stocking up in case they don't feed you again?" Stan asked, eying the pile. Because Jim didn't look like a fatass.

"Something like that," Jim agreed, picking a Twinkie off of his plate and offering it to Stan with a smirk. "I'm beginning to wonder if they're not one of Earth's great wonder-foods. I mean, they don't seem to ever go bad."

Where Jim came from might have had interstellar travel and holographic imaging technology, but their take on food preservation was still decidedly fifteenth century.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] andthemoralis July 2 2011, 17:05:20 UTC

Hey, like Stan would turn down free food. "Maybe because they're filled with chemicals," he replied, shoving it into his mouth all at once before snickering.

Sigh, teenage boys.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] answer2bheard July 2 2011, 17:08:49 UTC

Not to be outdone, Jim shoved a whole Twinkie into his own mouth, and then contemplated following it up with a second, just because. Instead, he chewed and swallowed and kind of gaped at Stan instead, trying to make sense of the words that just came out of his mouth, there.

"Chemicals?" News to Jim! "What... kind of chemicals?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] andthemoralis July 2 2011, 17:13:34 UTC

"How the hell would I know?" Stan replied, stealing another. Because there was a freaking pile there. "It's just... chemicals. And stuff."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] answer2bheard July 2 2011, 17:59:02 UTC

"Well, I kind of figured out that there was stuff. I mean... there's the gold-ish part, and the cream-ish part. Stuff." That was the technical term, right there. "What are the chemicals for, then?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] andthemoralis July 2 2011, 18:12:19 UTC

"To keep it from going bad," Stan said around a mouthful of twinkie. So, the details might have been lost.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] answer2bheard July 2 2011, 18:17:48 UTC

There was a brief silence while Jim tried to parse that.

"I... guess?" He squinted down at the pate of Twinkies, and then shrugged and started on another one. "We usually just dry things out when we don't want them to go bad. Or salt them. Or pickle them..."

So very fifteenth century, indeed.

"Pickled Twinkies probably wouldn't be so great, though."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] andthemoralis July 2 2011, 18:19:40 UTC

"Deep fried ones aren't bad, though," Stan added once he got the image of a pickled twinkie out of his head.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] answer2bheard July 2 2011, 18:22:04 UTC

"They fry them?" Jim was now wondering how in the world he'd never heard of a friend Twinkie before. Jim was possibly doomed, now. "Have you ever had one like that?"

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] andthemoralis July 2 2011, 18:28:31 UTC

Stan shot him a look. "They have them at all the fairs back home. Maybe we could find a deep fryer and make Butters make them."

Poor, poor Butters. Always scalded by hot oil.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] answer2bheard July 2 2011, 18:32:41 UTC

"Hey, that would be great!" See, Jim was easy. "I haven't really been to any fairs, you know. Not in years, at least. Things back home were usually way too busy for that."

Busy playing busboy. Busy doing maintenance on his surfer. Busy being arrested...

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] andthemoralis July 2 2011, 18:34:21 UTC

"It's summer, they have to have them--somewhere." Stupid Atlantis. "Maybe we can find a way to get back to the normal places."

Like Baltimore.

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] answer2bheard July 2 2011, 18:39:44 UTC

"I think your normal places would probably still be kind of weird to me," Jim noted thoughtfully. "But I'd be willing to check out what you guys pass off as normal, sometime. Just so long as there aren't Pop Tarts involved, I mean."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] andthemoralis July 2 2011, 18:42:31 UTC

"Everything is weird to you," Stan pointed out. "It'll be fun. Probably."

Re: General Mingling [SS2 2011] answer2bheard July 2 2011, 18:45:00 UTC

Considering the fact that it was still a battle just to get Jim to spit out a swear word, yeah, things were going to be weird to him for quite a while longer, most likely.

"Well, yeah. Even that stint back in Japan was still pretty fun, even if I spent a whole afternoon trying to scrub the makeup off my face."
