MCA #3, Monday Morning

[hatesmostthings]

All things considered, that had been a pretty fun weekend.

Okay, so sans gremlin bite, it was unlikely that April would have made those same choices: bondage kind of seemed like a lot of work as a precursor to sex, and if she was going to hook up with someone, she'd rather just skip the middle step and get right to the good part. But it had still been pretty fun, especially as her gremlin-bitten self hadn't really cared about issues of laziness and exerting effort, and hooking up with Eric always made for a good time, so she had no complaints.

Also, she was keeping the leather outfit. Because there was always a chance that she'd get in a mood and want to do that again. So right now, it lay draped over an armchair in her living room, because... well, April didn't know how to wash leather, and anyway, she was kind of comfy on the floor watching Spanish soap operas with her back to the couch, and she didn't want to get up.

In the meantime, she had an untoasted Pop-Tart to eat and was tossing a broken TV remote around for Cliff to catch. This was a good morning.

"I love bugs," April informed him solemnly, peering at the box. "Is that enough for however long or do I have to restock?"

"I don't know how long this is going to take," Jono replied, frowning a little at the bug box. "If you do start to run low, let me know and I'll restock them for you. I... should be back on weekends, ridiculous as that sounds, getting weekends off in a war, to recharge my equipment and ferret away anything that I can't risk keeping in Kaeleer."

"Doesn't sound ridiculous," April said, because she had an interesting definition of 'work ethic.' "Soldiers need to go home and get sunscreen and whateverthefuck."

She examined her fingernails. They were bitten and unpolished, as always.

"What about the Boards? Can I conquer it and use it to film a movie and paint the walls with blood?"

"Sunblock for all of that mid-winter sunbathing we're going to do while being hunted down by the enemy," Jonothon replied, chuckling only because the prospect sounded so bloody ridiculous. "Why not?"

Because: Ridiculous.

"... Paint the walls with blood?" What did it say that his kneejerk reaction was that the flats were already a sparkly red, so what difference would it make? "I suppose you could, so long as you keep most of the actual destruction to a somewhat contained space. What did you have in mind?"

April shrugged. "Zombie movie."

Why not, right?

[furnaceface]

"... Not using real zombies, I hope?"

Look, he knew who some of April's coworkers were. He was trying not to be terribly bigoted against zombiekind, but he had the new carpeting to keep in mind, here.
