hatesmostthingsApril had seen a lot of horror movies in her time, but she hadn't seen many that involved killer fences. Actually, she'd seen exactly one. And now she was watching the first of its two sequels, Death in a Fence 2: The Fencening, in which the main characters on the screen were currently fleeing the murder fence while their friend Tray was being gnashed to bits in its wiry jaws.
"The first one was a lot better," she commented to Jack, reaching for one of the maybe-it-was-best-not-to-say-how-many-it-was beers she'd 'borrowed' from Caritas for this occasion. "At least in that one they died in order of how annoying they were. I kinda liked Tray."
His plan to go check out the killer fence at two in the morning had been endearingly stupid. She had to approve of that.
"How're you doing with all the blood and gore?" Please say 'super grossed out,' Jack. She'd love that a lot.
[[for that dude, and weekday SP!]]

Date: 2013-02-19 07:59 pm (UTC)Because of being talked into it by a pushy and somewhat frightening nineteen-year-old?

Although she did feel compelled to add, "I think
meta forTeletubbies might be on."So.

Date: 2013-02-19 10:28 pm (UTC)It was possible that the three or four beers April had gone through had contributed to her asking that question, but it was just as likely that this was simply the kind of thing she asked once she reached a certain level of comfort with somebody.

Date: 2013-02-20 01:10 am (UTC)She took a moment to think of a response to that, then settled on, "I saw six dead possums at a time once."
She didn't actually mean that to be a literal comparison to what Jack had experienced, because she knew it wasn't. But as a way to potentially reduce the awkwardness from her question, she thought it might work.
"Some guy mailed them to my friend Orin. It's weirdly easy to find dead possums in my town. So."

no subject
Date: 2013-02-20 01:20 am (UTC)"Never sniff a possum," she advised seriously. "Even a live one, 'cause it'll bite you. And they all pretty much smell dead anyway."

Date: 2013-02-20 02:26 am (UTC)So the pretty-boy-ish was kind of implied. It couldn't really be helped.
no subject
Date: 2013-02-20 03:59 am (UTC)So yes, he understood the implication.
