Delirium liked to keep an eye on her ice cream cart. It wasn't that she didn't trust the island*, it was just that she liked to keep her ice cream where she could see it. Preferably in front of her and not being stolen by evil burgers, thieves, murderous men named Norrington etc

Jemaine was passing by with his guitar in one hand, and he walked past her.

And then backed up.

"You're the girl who said those weird things about my music," he said.

Delirium tilted her head back, leaning against the cart as she stared up at guitar man. "yoU'rE THe music man. is iT statE The oBViouS DAy todAY? i diDn't thinK THat was uNTiL thuRSDay," Delirium said, picking at the pineapple ice cream with a fingernail and licking it off. Delirium offered a lick to the tall guitar man. "i'm dELiRium. noT THe giRL who said thOSE weiRD things About mY music, weLL i'M THat too buT THat's nOT my namE."

"Delirium." Jemaine repeated her name slowly. "That is a great name. Can I write a song about you?"

[endlessdel]

Delirium stared up at the musicman. "iF yoU Want to," Delirium said, slightly awed that the musicman who wrote about the death of humans in such a poetic way wanted to write one about her. Although if he was like Coleridge or bloody Byron she might have to put his head on a spike, or make him eat ants. Either way. "aRe You thE PrETTY fRONTman oF THe band?"

Bee was running. She was holding herself back, since she hadn't been for a run in forever, but the sweat still poured down her back and forehead as her bare feet took her quickly over the path back to the Compound.

When she saw the ice cream cart, she slowed, coming to a light jog a few feet away. "Hi there," she called to the girl sitting by the cart. "You wouldn't be giving that out for free, by any chance, would you?"

[endlessdel]

"yEs-" Delirium said, her hand waivering over her chest as her heart slowed down to a dull and dreary pattering waltz. Delirium looked up at the girl and smiled, getting to her feet quickly. She didn't mind giving out freebies but that would hardly be any fun at all and she was in a definite mood for fun. Delirium scampered around to the serving side of the cart and grinned. "-bUT you havE TO ANSwer thREE QuestioNS. iF yOU ANswer thEM COrrECTLY thEN yOU get a priZE, ansWER it wRong and YOU get duM-de-dUm suDDen dEATH. oooOh."

Bee was a little put off by the threat of sudden death, but the girl was so cheerful that Bee wasn't sure she'd even follow through.

She decided to play along. After all, there was ice cream at stake. "Alright," she said, shrugging a little. "That sounds fair to me. Shoot."

"i dOn't havE A GUn...oH hUMAN coLLoquiaL LanguaGE." Delirium said a vague smile on her face. "riGHT. quESTion nUMBER One! WHat is YOUR FAVOuritE fLAVOUR ice cREAM?"

Sandor and Stranger found her sitting under a tree with an ice cream in her hand, looking pensive. Looping the stallion's reins over a branch, Sandor sat down with his back to a neighboring tree, just enjoying the quiet, and wondering what she was thinking about. Sometimes he caught that faraway look in her green eye, the one he'd seen the night of the party when they'd left it early in favor of privacy, and thought it might be a good thing that he would never understand her.

Delirium bit into the top of the ice cream, enjoying the mix of flavours and cold sharpness in her mouth. It felt like winter in her mouth, Ruth-Anne had promised her a spring but all she had gotten was lousy but beautiful sun. Delirium tilted her head back staring at Sandor for a moment before smiling at him, the faraway and glazed look drifting away. Delirium held her hand out for him to sit down beside her.

"i goT Given a prESENT." Delirium said tapping her new cart, Vincent, fondly.

"I see," he said with a smile. "That happens, sometimes. I got a whole set of these last year," he said, tapping the smooth-sanded hilt of one of the knives at his belt. He tipped his head to the side, giving the cart a closer look. "What's it for?"

[endlessdel]

Delirium's mouth opened, a vaguely fishlike resemblance taking place as she realised he had no idea what it was. "iT's aN ice creAM Cart foR SToriNG...iCE CREAM." Delirium said, rushing to her feet. It wasn't possibly she'd fed him ice cream but he'd never tried chemical flavours and additives and the sheer yummyness that was ice cream. Opening the fridge it emitted a strange hissing noise as she reached in and got a magnum for him. Ripping the wrapper off she held it out for him to take. "iT's a magNuM. eat it."
