There's sand in my popcorn.

[ A slight shrug, and she dumps the handful before setting the bucket aside. She seems to have not noticed the fact that she's wearing makeup, a short red dress, or fishnets. Instead, she's acting like it's a totally normal day. And it is. It's just... sexier than usual. ]

I guess I shouldn't be eating popcorn before lunch anyway. I'll pick some more up later; hopefully it'll be sand-free.

((ooc: Feel free to reply to her post or to bump into her out and about; she'll be buying herself some popcorn and doing a few other things before heading home. Also this is why I shouldn't write posts at 2 am.))

[ On any other day, she would probably slap him for that. Instead, she beams and leans up to kiss him on the cheek. ]

Thank you, Jack! That's sweet of you.

[wouldnotkindly]

[Hahaha oh god, if Jack's face wasn't already flushed before...]

I, uh. I don't know about that. But...you're welcome?

action;

[boutant]

No, really, thank you. I always heard a lot about how I'm short and too skinny and have a flat chest. It's nice to know there are some people who can see what's right in front of them.

[ And it certainly is right in front of him. ]

action;

[wouldnotkindly]

Oh... [At that, he frowns slightly.] I don't know. I've always thought you were pretty, even before you...dressed like this.

action;

[boutant]

[ More beaming. ]

Thanks, Jack. I mean, I know I'm attractive -- I guess I just felt like making sure everyone knows it today.

action;

[wouldnotkindly]

Well, uh... [He coughs. Awkwardly.] All right, then.

Just try to keep yourself out of trouble, okay?

action;

[boutant]

I can do that.

[ Sure you can, Ariadne. ]

action;

[wouldnotkindly]

[Somehow, he's not wholly convinced.]

Uh... Would you like me to come with you? [Just in case.]

action;

[boutant]

You can if you'd like. I'm going to meet up with someone to go shopping after lunch, though -- unless you'd like a swimsuit, too?

action;

[wouldnotkindly]

[Swimsuit shopping. He's not sure if he can take it.]

No— I mean... I think I'd rather stay out of water if I can help it, thanks. [Haha.] But I'll go with you until then.

action;

[boutant]

You don't need to actually get in the water just because you're wearing a swimsuit, you know.

action;

[wouldnotkindly]

Isn't that the point of wearing them?

action;

[boutant]

Well, yeah, but you can just hang out on the beach with them, too. It's easier to deal with the sand that way.

action;

[wouldnotkindly]

Oh... I guess so. [He thinks for a moment.] I've never been to the beach, so I wouldn't know.

action;

[boutant]

Really? Dawn's going to have a beach party -- you should come.

action;

[wouldnotkindly]

Dawn... [The name isn't familiar to him, but still—] You think so?

action;

[boutant]

I work with her. [ Jack's confusion is rather easy to spot. ] Definitely.

action;

[wouldnotkindly]

All right. [Good job, he's actually smiling.] I guess I can stop by... When is it?

action;

[boutant]

Tuesday. In the square.

[ Yes. The square. ]

action;

[wouldnotkindly]

The square? [Uhh.]

I thought you said this was a beach party.

action;

[boutant]

There's a beach party tonight and then there's Dawn's party on Tuesday, which is a beach party without the beach.

[ lalala gadgets shouldn't tag while tired ]

action;

[wouldnotkindly]

Ohh... Okay, I get it. [He thinks. The mun isn't so sure.] Yeah, I'll be there.
