83. [Video/Action for Ecruteak]

[foolishwren]

[You guys.]

[You guys.]

[It is so cold outside.]

[No, seriously, it's bitter and the snow's been building up and for the towns up north like Mahogany and Ecruteak, the snow is rooooollin' in

[Nearby, drinking some coffee and writing some notes. He's been working part time at a book store nearby. Yeah, the Mason's are productive.]

Action

[foolishwren]

[UGH OMG DAD WHY DO YOU KEEP VISITING ME AT WORK-- nah, she likes being able to look over her shoulder and see him sitting over there with his notes. A few years ago? She'd have been surly and sulky as hell over her dorky loser dad hanging around her workplace, but now? The company's nice.]

[It helps that the atmosphere of this diner is so homey. It just feels like a family place.]

[There's no one making orders at the moment, so she heads over and puts her elbows down on the counter, leaning in to look at his papers.]

Whatcha writing?

Action

[harryusedworry]

[He smiles as she walks over.]

Just a few notes for a story.

Action

[foolishwren]

Yeah?

What kinda story?

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[ALSO NEARBY, trying not to snicker, but obviously not trying too hard since he's... still snickering. He'd marvel at the fact the great Heather Mason was wearing a dress if it wasn't such an... old-fashioned outfit worth poking fun of.

He is probably only here to tease her]

Oooi, waitress~ [waving :3] I'm out of hot chocolate!

[action]

[foolishwren]

[YEAH IT'S. NOT VERY ATTRACTIVE IS IT. Actually, it would've been quite pretty (in an old-fashioned way, anyway) if she'd actually... you know. Fit into it. But it's pretty obvious these uniforms were not made with the builds of scrawny string-bean girls in mind. ... And she's not exactly trying too hard to look the part, considering she's wearing ratty old sneakers and her visible knees are covered in band-aids. She almost looks like she wandered into the diner and put on the uniform by mistake.]

[But with a devilish smirk, she heads over with pitcher of hot chocolate.]

Oh sure, lemme get that for y--OH NOOOOO!

[She fakes a stumble, as though she was about to pour it all over his shoulder. ... Probably a good thing her bosses aren't watching because PRETENDING TO POUR HOT LIQUIDS ON YOUR FRIENDS IS A NO-NO ON THE JOB.]

[action]

[bakaitoukid]

[Nah, Kaito would have made fun of it either way-- even if she did fit into it. HE THINKS IT'S A SILLY DRESS, OKAY.

He recoils instinctively when she fakes the stumble, suppressing another snicker and lifting both of his hands up, palms forward, in a defensive movement]

Oi oi, watch how you're wielding that thing!

[action]

[foolishwren]

[IT IS A SILLY DRESS. Most waitress outfits are.]

[Needless to say, she 'catches' herself before any of it spills on him, and leans casually on the table, holding the container airily with one finger through the handle.]

Gosh, good thing I have such quick reflexes, huh?

[Herp derp breaking hiatus for this.

Have a big grin from Wally.]

You know, if I didn't have a girlfriend and we hadn't already been through that whole bad pickup lines thing, I'd totally be hitting on you right now. I mean, who doesn't love a girl in uniform?

[He definitely does. Good thing Midori works at the cosplay cafe, she has many a uniform. Aww yeah.]

video;

[foolishwren]

Oh, yeah, because this is the sexiest article of clothing ever.

[Making a mock-astonished oh my god face, she picks at the chest of the dress, which is... um... completely slack, considering it was probably made with more gifted ladies in mind, pinching it with both fingers and holding it out. ... And then letting the fabric fall again.]

Awww yeah.

Dat dress.

[And then she wolf-whistles.]

... But no, seriously, man-- questioning your taste here like whoa.

video;

[chemwhiz]

Okay, it's not the most attractive uniform, but come on. Waitresses are hot. And you're totally rocking the vintage thing.

video;

[foolishwren]

Fake waitresses are hot. Real ones? Noooot generally as appealing.

[SHE WILL ARGUE THIS FOREVER.]

... It IS vintage, though. This thing's been around since dinosaurs roamed the earth.

[itsthebutz]

[Larry is toootally marveling at Heather's dress. He never thought he'd see the day where Heather wore a dress.]

Ohhhh yes, how could I forget that lady's screaming blasting through my 'Gear multiple times?

Nice dress, by the way.

[video]

[foolishwren]

[Yeah. Recently, Satan was quoted as looking around and saying "Man, it's chilly in here."]

[Heather shudders.]

That sound is still ricocheting around the inside of my skull, months later.

But pfft, thanks? I dunno, look at this thing. Skirts I'm fine with, love skirts, but this thing makes me feel like a pit bull in a granny outfit. It just doesn't work.

[video]

[itsthebutz]

It could be a little more form-fitting...

[He's just going to stop there, because he knows nothing good will come out of continuing.]

Maybe I'll make a trip up to Ecruteak and visit sometime before Christmas. I'm a good tipper.

[video]

[foolishwren]

[NOPE. Although she at least knows Larry well enough now to be confident that he's not a creeper, she'd still punch him on principal if he got too enthusiastic about the fact that she was in a waitress outfit.]

Hey, every little bit helps!

Besides, it's all going into presents anyway. That's kinda like going to the people.

It's practically charity.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

I don't think anybody could forget her, we all heard her often enough.

Not sure how safe it is for you to be waving boiling liquids around, though.

[video]

[foolishwren]

Pff, whaddya mean? This is perfectly sa-- oh FUCK--

[... Yeah she'd... swung the coffee pot around a little to prove her point and accidentally splattered some of the dark liquid onto the counter. Good thing nobody was sitting right there.]

[She looks around hastily to make sure her bosses hadn't seen that, and then grabs a handful of napkins to wipe it up.]

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

[Snerk.]

Oh yeah, perfectly safe. Absolutely.

[video]

[foolishwren]

You didn't see that.
