All right, I don't know about the rest of you, but I could stand to blow off some steam. And it's America-Is-So-Much-Better-Than-You day, which I can't just let pass without making something explode ( Read more... )

[And lo, an angel appeared unto Murphy... Or rather about five feet behind her, because that's just how he rolls.]

Sparkle-off? Really?

:| And the last to leave. whateverthemess July 5 2010, 05:17:02 UTC

[She twitches, but that's the sum total of her reaction this time.] Sparkle-off, explode-off, I don't care, as long as it's colorful and semipatriotic. Also not ending in homicide.

[Murphy turns on her heel claps her hands.] Come on, Precious Moments. Make with the magic.

[Gabriel places a hand over his heart and feigns a tragic look.] You wound me. Juuust tell your wizard buddy not to stand too close to the flames and we'll be fine. Personally, I think he'd look fine without eyebrows.

[At the clapping, he just looks offended.] Did you just clap at me? Do I look like Tinkerbell to you?

[She grins.] If I call you a fairy, do I still get my fireworks?

[Look, she's laughing! You win, Murphy.] Okay, okay, I'm on my way.

[And so she is! Cissie's basically kept herself locked in her room all day--Sam was right, she is very sore from beating up punching bags yesterday. And still conflicted and stressed and moody, and she spent today ignoring the shitstorm for the sake of her own sanity and not making things worse by jumping in. So she is so ready to blow off steam and ignore everything Tim and Sylar related for a few hours.]

I was promised hot dogs.

whateverthemess July 5 2010, 05:52:20 UTC

[Murphy makes a surprised sound around a mouthful of one of her own, waving to Cissie in lieu of speaking. There's an attractive smear of relish at the corner of her lip. She chokes down the bite.] What d'you want on it?

[There's a full buffet layout behind her, courtesy of Gabriel.]

notarrowette July 5 2010, 06:00:58 UTC

[Cissie laughs. The relish is indeed attractive, Murphy. And Cissie's feeling better right now than she has all day. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, MURPH.] Hey, Murphy. It's okay, I can get one.

[And hey, SHE'LL TRY. One-handed and all! ...It won't go well. Hot dogs and condiments really do need two hands.]

whateverthemess July 5 2010, 06:08:16 UTC

[Murphy will let her try. At least until she can see which condiments the girl is going for. And then she will gently take over, piling them on the hot dog herself.] I don't think you want the ketchup autographing your cast.

[Bourne walks up on deck, a little bit curious to see how the Fourth of July will go down. This being the Barge, it won't be normal, but he had to have seen fireworks as a kid. Maybe this will help unlock something in his brain.

And even if it doesn't, it'll be fun. And fun is something he's been lacking lately.]

whateverthemess July 5 2010, 05:54:16 UTC

[Murphy spots the stranger and homes in with punch in one hand and a sparkler in the other. She thrusts both at him.] I don't care where you're from. Have some happy.

As he reverts to his derpy, awkward self from Identity. brokenweapon July 6 2010, 02:59:24 UTC

... [Jason accepts the punch and stares at the sparkler. After a moment, he accepts that too.] ...okay. Thanks.

[Yes. Good normal-person act, Bourne. Next comes the small talk.] Uh, hi, actually, I don't think we've met. I'm Jason.

[Does he feel foolish, standing with a glass of punch in one hand and a sparkler in the other? The answer you are looking for is YES.]

Loki is in ur deck, crashin ur party. lostmy_wings July 5 2010, 05:20:34 UTC

[Loki wanders on up to the deck on the off-chance someone did decide to have some festivities. And lo and behold! There are people gathered. And someone is talking about hot dogs. What else could it be but a Fourth of July party?

After living in Wisconsin for thousands of years, you really appreciate something that can break the monotony. Controlled explosions seemed to be just the thing...which is why Loki likes them so much.]

chicagoshope July 6 2010, 19:28:58 UTC

*I don't know how controlled they'll be, but there'll definitely be some explosions!*

Oh. ...It's July already? That's. [Headscritch.] Huh. Time flies around here.

Well, either way. I hope you have fun up there. [And no, that's not some passive aggressive, Mean-Girls way of saying BITCH, YOU'D BEST INVITE ME QUICK, it's. Just Bruce being Bruce. The nerd man who's never been invited to a party with peers. ...Ever.]

[video] whateverthemess July 5 2010, 06:30:34 UTC

[EYEBROW.] ...Yeah, I hope you do too, smart guy.

[video] gammapulsed July 5 2010, 06:35:24 UTC

[Watch him nod and smile politely before literally making a BWUH face.] W-wait, I'm sorry. Um. What?

[video] whateverthemess July 5 2010, 06:38:48 UTC

There is a hot dog up here that will have your name on it as soon as I grab a ketchup squeeze-bottle.
