So, say you're going to a barbecue. What kind of food do you assume's going to be there?


[ They probably should have made a list.

...

And actually that audio is still on; Arthur's distracted, busy in fact as the device picks up the roll of four tiny wheels and general chatter of what must be a shop. Then a pause of the wheels... ]

...are you too old for holding hands?

[ He's just paranoid maybe. It's a busy store.

Anyway he gets his answer just a second later, a young girl's voice: ]

I do not think so.

[ Some more grocery background noise as the cart starts rolling again before the girl speaks again ]

Dad, your device is on. [ pause and this time she's obviously speaking into it on purpose, rather than muffled like before ] Poppa, did you want us to bring you anything?

[ Then the device is turned off properly. ]




[ooc: family cursed? family cursed.]

[ earnestly now: ] It's true that I know far worse, but that doesn't mean that I like it when you use bad language, generally speaking. I do not always mind it.

[signatures]

I'd hardly say I'm in habit of using foul language to start with, Miss Ivy.

[archivy]

It could certainly be worse.

[signatures]

Much.

I hear you want waffles tomorrow morning.

[archivy]

If you would not mind making them.

[signatures]

I can be persuaded.

[archivy]

Would you please make waffles tomorrow, Poppa?

[signatures]

Your hand at emotional manipulation is, as ever, astounding.

I only will if you help.

[archivy]

Saying please isn't emotional manipulation.

I will.

[signatures]

I only tease.

[archivy]

I know. You would not seriously consider something as simple as please emotional manipulation. [ she knows you, Eames. a beat. ] Though it can be very effective.

[signatures]

Any sense of genuinity can be, I suppose, in the end - depending on how its played. But for waffles I can easily suspend theories.

[archivy]

You're easily persuaded when it comes to waffles.

[signatures]

[ he's easily persuaded when it comes to ivy - though the repurcussions of undergoing such a change of ideals with the influence of a curse wont make themselves apparent until much later. ]

Apparently so.

[archivy]

I'm glad. [ A beat. ] We could make the waffles and let Dad sleep in.

[signatures]

Later than usual?

That would be nice of us.

[archivy]

It would be.

[signatures]

Waffles and a proper pot of coffee.

[archivy]

It'll be Sunday. We could even have breakfast in bed.

[signatures]

You'll have to use your master techniques and make him give in to possible crumbs on the sheets.

[archivy]

I think I can convince him.

[signatures]

Then thy will be done.

[archivy]

Good. [ And while she's at it. ] And then can we go to the zoo?

[signatures]

[ But they have uniccorns at the zoo x( ]

If it's not too late.

[archivy]

[ She likes the unicorns. ]

How late do you intend to have breakfast?
