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. ]

Right. Should... untangle my foot and go get the ladder.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[She laughs.]

I'll hand you the lights, alright?

[electrowhipit]

Sounds good. [ just gotta... untangle his foot like he said, then off to the garage for the ladder! ]

[While she waits, she'll be inspecting the lights. They're so pretty.]

[electrowhipit]

[ aaaaand here he comes with the ladder ] What color should we put on the house?

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[A quick scan of the lights.] Red or white would look nice, I think.

[electrowhipit]

I think we could find a way to do both. Like a candy cane or something.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[She likes candy canes!] That would be lovely!

[electrowhipit]

Okay, candy cane it is, then. [ positions the ladder on one side of the house. ]

If we're doing red and white on the house, green and blue in the tree?

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[Grabs one of the sets of lights, and begins hauling them over.]

Mm! It'll look great that way! [Like candy. Candy is good.]

[electrowhipit]

[ takes said lights and hauls them up the ladder! ] So, provided the town doesn't bury us in snow or turn us all into gingerbread people or something, do you have any plans for Christmas?

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[She'll just stand there, handing up the lights as they're needed.

She laughs lightly.] No, I don't. What about you? Anything special planned?

[electrowhipit]

Not really. I guess I'm kinda waiting on the town. I do know Harley was planning to make a big dinner, though.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

She is? Well that's really very nice of her. Who do you think she'll invite?

[electrowhipit]

You're probably invited, if that's what you mean.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

Well...that's good to hear.

[electrowhipit]

You don't have to, but the offer's open if you want.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

Of course I want to! I love coming over to visit!

[electrowhipit]

You do? I never would have guessed.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

[She laughs] I thought it would have been obvious.

[electrowhipit]

I'm just messing with you.

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

I know.

[electrowhipit]

You know what I'm thinking would be nice after we finish this?

[bbsatbyrobots.livejournal.com]

What?

[electrowhipit]

Some hot chocolate.
