[Roxas flicks on his communicator and seems about to say something while opening his closet door to hang up a jacket he's carrying, but suddenly the screen goes dark as he's buried in lemons.

A lot like what happened a few months ago, actually.

After a moment, he groans, and works his way out of the pile.]

And again...at least they're not furry this time.

So, uh...anyone got some recipes for lemons? —Axel, no!

[A small Irish setter puppy runs by, carrying a lemon nearly as big as her head between her jaws, and it's off to the races as Roxas tries to separate his new pet from her new 'ball.']

Perhaps a sort of custard, or pie? That would use a fair amount of lemons.

[binarysky]

I think pies. Definitely more than one.

You think dogs like pies?

[aperfectthird]

I don't think it's good for them to have pastries.

[binarysky]

Really? Too bad. I've never had a dog before. I guess we'll just be eating a lot of dessert for a while.

[aperfectthird]

Are you a good cook?

[binarysky]

I can make some pretty good sandwiches?

[aperfectthird]

That's a start. I imagine pies are a little more complex, though.

[binarysky]

Probably. But sandwiches get boring after a while.

[aperfectthird]

...that's what takeaway is for.

[binarysky]

It costs a lot of munny after a while.

[aperfectthird]

One does have to budget properly, that's very true. But if it's that or burning down the kitchen, I'd rather the budgeting.

[binarysky]

I'm not that bad!

[aperfectthird]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you were. But for some, those might be their only options.

[cough like him cough]

[binarysky]

[gj bro]

Yeah, well...I'll keep it in mind.

[aperfectthird]

Good. See that you do.

[ahem ahem nope no projecting here.]

[binarysky]

I'll try not to set anything on fire, either.

[aperfectthird]

I usually find that's the best plan, unless you're my brothers. Thankfully, you're not.

[binarysky]

Nah. I'm an only child. [He chuckles a little, as if that's funny.]

[aperfectthird]

[o...kay.]

Is that funny?

[binarysky]

Not really. Sorry. It's just...not even possible for me to have brothers or sisters.

[aperfectthird]

I'm sorry to hear that.

[binarysky]

[He blinks.]

Why?

[It's sort of neutral to him.]

[aperfectthird]

That it's impossible. I'll admit I usually want to strangle my siblings, but I can't imagine life without them.

[binarysky]

Oh. That's sort of...nice. [In a weird way.]

I've got someone who's like a brother, at least. I'd rather have him than a real one anyway.

[aperfectthird]

That's just as good. Family is family.

[binarysky]

I guess so.

I'm glad to have it either way.

[errandry]

... maybe you oughta work on a closet-opening technique.

[binarysky]

It's not opening the door that's the problem!

[errandry]

Yeah, but if you had a technique, you could dodge the avalanche next time anyway!

[binarysky]

A technique for opening the door?

Anyway, I can dodge fine.

[errandry]

... youuuu haven't watched your video post yet, huh.

[binarysky]

I can dodge fine when I know there's something to dodge!

[errandry]

It's the City, man, you've gotta expect the unexpected!




And maybe invent an anti-ninja technique.

[binarysky]

Lemons aren't ninjas!

[errandry]

It's just a saying!

[binarysky]

No one says that.

[errandry]

What, you've never heard of anybody getting ninja'd? Even here?

[binarysky]

Not really.
