[corrinesbell]

Y'know. I remember when I thought four months was gonna be too long of a time to live here. That there's no way this'd go on for even close to a year or something insane like that.

...Guess I was wrong, huh?

Oh. Tea shop's open again. Sorry about not warning anybody. I'll be around today.

[[ooc: Hello Luceti! Four long years ago today, a ninja became part of the experiment.

I feel old.]]

Comments

[corrinesbell]

Shouldn't I be?

[all7seas]

......Dunno. No. Why are you?

[corrinesbell]

Seems to come with being friends with you. That's all.

[Teasing. Merciless. Hiding everything.]

[all7seas]

HA. There's nothing to worry about 'far as I'm concerned. I'm not all fragile and left-behind. At the moment. Right now. [Another sip of tea.]

Also not terribly used to this entire "friends"....thing, so you'll have to forgive me on that front.

[corrinesbell]

Hey! I'm not fragile! You don't live here for this long and get fragile okay?

[all7seas]

Like a delicate orchid blossom, twining round a jungle vine, you are. So fragile.

[Winding. Winding.]

[corrinesbell]

I'd better not be. Orchids are parasites.

[all7seas]

Right.




A daisy, then. A daisy with a tiny ladybug crawling across it.



A ladybug with a broken leg.

[corrinesbell]

You're definitely trying to tell me something. If it's what I think it is, I hope you have a better opinion of me than that.

[all7seas]

It's just winding you up, is all. My opinion of you is high. Ish. You know. You're alright.

[corrinesbell]

[High. Ish.]

If I didn't know it was true already I might start to think you're crazy, Jack.

[all7seas]

Ha---nonsense! A man doesn't have to be crazy to think highly of you, sweetness!

[corrinesbell]

Um, thanks, I think.

So d'you want something that's not tea? [She is giving you strong hints that it might be alcohol, Jack.]

[all7seas]

Aye? Yes? Possibly? A nip of something not-tea? If you please?

[corrinesbell]

You're gonna have to not say anything then. You got it?

[She's only offering because he said it wasn't a whorehouse, you know.]

[all7seas]

I promise! Not a word of it will pass these lips, O Sheena of Great Beauty!

[corrinesbell]

You don't have to throw compliments around like that, y'know.

[And she disappears into her ninja kitchen.]

[all7seas]

[With you he does, Sheena. Jack grins and waits patiently for his new drink, humming a happy tune.]

[corrinesbell]

[His new drink comes in a pretty tiny cup, all things considered. If he sniffs it, it will smell like non-rum. Because it's not rum. Sheena just grins and sits down to watch.]

[all7seas]

Oh! Looks...intriguing. What is it?

[corrinesbell]

You'll just have to trust me and try it.

[all7seas]

Hmmm....not sure I do trust you, actually. What if I drink it and fall down upon the floor?

[corrinesbell]

If you do, it won't have anything to do with me. But I don't think that'll happen.

[all7seas]

Very well, then! Down the hatch! [And Jack takes a long and TRUSTING drink of the beverage.]

[corrinesbell]

[It's sake. Alcohol. He should love it.]
