[Jimmy's walking down the street near the fountain, uncharacteristically bright smile on his face. It's obvious he doesn't know he's recording this, since he's not at all paying attention to the camera. His pace speeds up a little as he heads towards the fountain, the tone in his voice full of amusement as he calls out.]

Hey, Tommy, c'mon, I'm not gonna chase you!

[That is, however, exactly what he starts doing. There's a little kid running in front of him, a boy of about four, who seems completely unconcerned with the fact that he's in a new and unusual place. He's running, giggling, holding onto a bag of candy, and Jimmy's following behind him as closely as he can.]

All right, all right, slow down! You're too fast for your dad, kiddo.

[The little boy sits down on the edge of the fountain and pops a piece of taffy into his mouth. Eventually, Jimmy sits down beside him, brushing the little boy's hair out of his eyes. The little boy looks up at him, looking serious for a moment, and asks "Where's mommy?"]

Well, y'know...

[Jimmy pauses for a minute, slightly uncomfortable, and then grins down at the kid.]

We're on a little vacation, just you 'n me, okay? Just the guys. Mommy's at home, workin' on her paintin', and y'know she can't get anythin' done when we're havin' this much fun.

[He ruffles Tommy's hair, then immediately realizes his device is on, and switches it off with a bit of a sheepish smile.]

[[OOC: Jimmy's son is here for the fourth wall, and you can run into Jimmy and Tommy around the fountain, or anywhere else in town, really!]]

[Tommy gives her a considering look, and then scampers off to hide, probably somewhere pretty obvious. He apparently takes after his father in his decided inability to hide. Jimmy just grins at her.]

He's usually pretty shy with new people, but he seems okay with you. My dog likes ya, my kid likes ya... guess you must pretty okay, right?

[ She has her hands over her eyes but she still grins when he speaks. ]

I'm awesome. I can tame anything.

[trenchknives]

I guess so, 'cause usually, it ain't that easy to tame Tommy.

[Then again, he hasn't been around Tommy a whole lot in his lifetime. Maybe it's easier for other people.]

[cupio]

[ She laughs and then uncovers her eyes. It's easy to see Tommy's foot from where he's hiding but she still pretends she can't. ]

Oh no Jimmy, I think I've lost your kid.

[trenchknives]

Uh oh. If you lost him, I demand a refund.

[Tommy's giggling can be heard from his hiding spot, though he's trying to restrain it.]

[cupio]

I wonder where he could be.

[ She taps her chin, over-exaggerating. ] Maybe he's hiding in that bush. [ He's not but she pretends to check anyway. ] Nope.
