oo8 ★ LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN AGAIN

[electrowhipit]

[ One can find Jolt in his yard, surrounded by, and very possibly tangled up in, various strings of Christmas lights. He roots through the mess until he disentangles a strand- and with a careful application of a finger to the appropriate end, the lights flicker to life.

This strand is, perhaps appropriately, bright blue, and Jolt grins. ] Not a bad color, if I do say so myself.

[ He coils up the lights and sets them on the grass, then moves on to the next strand and repeats the process. ]

[And there is someone standing on your sidewalk, just... watching you work. Not helping of course, but watching.]

You get more and more of those things every year.

[electrowhipit]

What? They're fun.

[ oooooh, these lights blink 8D ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

You're going to give someone a seizure. Again.

[electrowhipit]

That malfunction was the town and not me and you know it.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[Just going to saunter up to watch you over your shoulder.]

I'm sure it was. Tell me... are you using music again?

[electrowhipit]

[ glances at ]

Nah. I think I'll play it down a little this year.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[And... no drones around... just going to be distracting and maybe put his hands on your hips.]

What, not even strobe lights?

[electrowhipit]

[ gfkjdshfg those lights in his hands probably just got a little brighter ]

Keep that up and there might be.

[He laughs, but doesn't move.]

Maybe a little later. Wouldn't want you to short them all out.

[electrowhipit]

Wouldn't want to draw the neighbor's attention either.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... and you screaming my name in the bushes is certainly the fast way to get that.

Meanwhile, your ankle's tangled.

[electrowhipit]

[ you get a zap for that remark, sir ]

Gee thanks. [ and he steps away to... deal with that ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

[sdfhjsdf he needs a moment.] You know. Just for that... I'm not giving you your gift.

[electrowhipit]

You wouldn't dare. [ the face, you can has it :< ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... Don't you give me that face.

[electrowhipit]

[ sadfaaaaaace ]

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... I left it at the garage. Well. Part of it.

[electrowhipit]

...

Ohh. I suppose we ought to run down there eventually.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

Eventually.

Didn't you want to get your decorating finished before everyone else?

[electrowhipit]

Christmas is in five days- I think I'm a little late on the decorating train as it is.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... Good point. I... suppose I should look into doing mine. If I can remember where we put them...

[electrowhipit]

They should be in that giant box in your garage that says "Christmas lights" on it.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... the one written in your handwriting?

[electrowhipit]

Since you can't be bothered to label your own junk, yes.

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

I'd be horrendously lost without you, wouldn't I? Hm?
