It'd really suck to run out, so that's cool to know.

[A nod, before she frowns a little.]

Keith is the worst person in the world.

[Ah.]

[windeity]

[Suddenly his less-than-bouncy demeanor breaks and he laughs without meaning to.]

He's one of your partners, too? He threw a shovel at me. [That sounds bad.] I caught it, it was fine, but he's not so bad...I think. [i.e. dish, Natalie. The doors open though and people begin to file in to get their soup. It's cool, he can multitask.]

[robitussin]

Of course he did. He would.

[The most intense thousand yard stare.]

We had to sprint out of the restaurant where they did the chili pepper thing because he made me break one of their plates and possibly ruin their wallpaper. Also, he wouldn't wear the Santa costume so I had to awkwardly lower my voice for several hours.

[windeity]

[Was he supposed to stop laughing because that's not happening.]

How did he make you break a plate and ruin wallpaper? You'd think the Santa costume would be less embarrassing than the elf costume though. [But luckily their guests have their own bowls, so John's reaching forward to start ladling up soup.]

[robitussin]

It's not funny!

[It is at least a little funny. Either way, she's reaching forward to do the same to anyone who comes by and asks for chicken noodle.]

Okay, so, like... He didn't realize that we could still tell when things are spicy, so he shoved like five peppers into his mouth at once, and then got mad that I didn't stop him, so he shoved the plate at me. Obviously I tried to get it away, except when I did it kind of hit the wall and shattered. I don't know if any of the pieces tore the wallpaper, but we ran out after that. [But that last part gets a fervent nod.] Right? He makes no sense.

[windeity]

[No, it's definitely funny, sorry Natalie. But they seem to be working in sync between serving soup and chatting and John's being polite to anybody who approaches at least.]

Somehow that is actually even more hilarious than I pictured. [Also I hate that you and Kyuu keep writing things where Kyuu's character throws shit for yours and it damages a wall.] As long as ReVA doesn't find out it was you guys you're probably okay. You still have a lot left to do with him?

[robitussin]

It's not hilarious, oh my god. He's the worst.

[She says, between offering smiles and spooning more soup into bowls.]

We left really quickly, so fingers crossed, I guess. We've just got the soup one left at this point, which is at least harder to ruin? So there's that.

[windeity]

At least it's almost over. I have one more chore to do with him and a few more with a few other people, too. It is hard to ruin soup, but if I hear about you guys ruining soup later I promise I will keep my comments to myself.

[robitussin]

It would be him ruining soup, not me. Let's get that straight.

[This assault on her honor!!]

[windeity]

Maybe you should remind him we can still feel temperature, too, so he doesn't burn himself with it. [Yeah ok he'll believe it when he sees it.]

[robitussin]

I think I'd rather see the look on his face.

[wow]

[windeity]

Harsh. [And yet probably justified considering what she just said. Whoops.] But then again if he does not figure that out on his own what better way to learn than experience?

[robitussin]

Exactly! Which is why I didn't stop him when he ate the peppers. I'm trying to give him an education.

[smh]

[windeity]

So what you're saying is he should be thanking you. [He's content with his soup-serving since it's a nice distraction at least.] On behalf of all guys everywhere, sorry we're this way.

[robitussin]

Yes! Exactly.

[#no]

Maybe I'll switch to pie. Seems like less trouble sometimes.

[windeity]

I will be sure to give him the memo. [Just teasing. He's a little biased but also it's still funny. On the other hand...]

Pie is actually pretty troublesome, too. At least broccoli never broke the door to my car.

[robitussin]

...Wait, who broke your car door?

[???]

[windeity]

Ex-girlfriend! [Why does he sound cheerful...] It was a couple of months ago, it's whatever. She damaged it hard enough it stopped working without a ton of effort but it's mostly okay now.

[robitussin]

Jesus. Messy break up, I'm assuming?

[windeity]

Sort of, yes. [This soup sure is interesting.] It was a really dumb fight and we're both not great when we're egging each other on so it kind of blew up into a huge thing and we broke up. I think she was mad that I wasn't giving her the reaction she wanted.

[robitussin]

What reaction did she want? Or do you even know?

[windeity]

[There's a shrug.] It's funny. Vic and I dated for, like, two years or maybe a little longer than that and I do not think I ever really understood what she was going for when she wanted reactions. I assume she wanted me to be more mad though. Or beg her to stay. Neither of which was happening.

[robitussin]

Yeah... Sounds like guys weren't a great fit. At least you know Dave way better, right?

[windeity]

Probably. It's not that I didn't know Vic well in a bunch of other ways? I think I loved her for a while. [Alas.] But it worked out given I decided to come here anyway.

[Serving soup, serving soup.] ...I'm talking to him tonight, by the way.

[robitussin]

What made you decide to come here? Was it just Dave, or...?

[She nearly pauses in her ladeling for a moment, glancing over at him.]

Seriously? Dude, nice! Fingers crossed.
