Back to Work

[colony_brat]

Alright, looks like it's time I get Azzip back up and open. Problem is, it needs a bit of cleanin' and I'm goin' ta need help with firewood and shoppin'. So, besides a certain fairy waiter, who wants ta help me? I'd offer ta pay you in food, but since it's free, seems kinda stupid. So, guess I could have a private party for those willin' ta help.

Maybe she would have liked it if you did.

...Why are we talking about this anyway?

[colony_brat]

Don't think that's what she had in mind.

'cause pizza's that great?

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

You could have told her it's some sort of specialty.

And I'm sure it's not that great.

[colony_brat]

She woulda believed me. She'd never had pizza before. Think she just wanted it spicy though.

We're going 'round in circles.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

Right.

It's not like talking about it can convince me otherwise.

[colony_brat]

I could if you came by to have one. Pizza really is great. Ya gotta order one when I get things goin' again.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

Sure. I might come by eventually, if I have nothing better to do.

[colony_brat]

Guess I'll have ta take that. Well, you gotta name? Should know who's makin' orders and who I'm s'pposed ta be bothering ta come in and order something.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

...I'm Luc.

[colony_brat]

Nice ta meet ya- wait. Luc? Like Wind Rune Luc? Like Sasarai's brother, Luc? Luc who's s'pposed ta be a jerk and makes Sasarai's life harder, Luc?

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

...Yes. That Luc. Though I haven't done anything to make his life harder besides insult him a few times.

[colony_brat]

.... but... Guess askin' ya when you're from wouldn't make much sense.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

He's apparently about twice as old as me if you want to guess when.

[colony_brat]

Oh. Then maybe... ya really haven't done anythin' besides insult him? Nothing... really bad or anything?

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

Nothing at all. Why, would you like me to do something?

[colony_brat]

No! Shit no! I'm makin' sure it's alright if I like ya. I mean- ya don't need ta know that. Don't worry 'bout it.

[smiles] It's good ta meet ya, Luc. I'm Duo if ya didn't know.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

You say that as if there's something you don't want me to know.

...Nice to meet you too though, I guess.

[colony_brat]

Naw, more like I know too much and don't wanna ask if it hasn't happened. If it hasn't, it doesn't matter so don't worry.

So you're actually what? Fifteen right? Give or take some?

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

Right.

I'm sixteen.

[colony_brat]

Good ta know. Sasarai kinda surprised me when he told me how old he is. Not ta mention Honey and a bunch of others who don't look as old as they are.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

He's pretty old, yeah.

So everyone ages normally where you're from?

[colony_brat]

[chuckles] You are insulting.

Yeah. Well 'cept maybe J, but he doesn't really count. Other than that, you're as old as ya look most of the time. Couple people can get away with lookin' older or younger, but that's just luck and rarely more than a few years.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

Sounds normal then. Is J inhuman or something?

[colony_brat]

Don't know. Parts of him aren't human anymore. Don't know 'bout the rest. He wasn't my scientist anyway. Heero might know more, but I doubt it. Don't know that much 'bout G.

[idle-magic.livejournal.com]

So scientists where you come from have letters for names?
