o23 ★ THANKSGIVING? NO THANKS.

[electrowhipit]

[ November is drawing to a close, and your local Autobot is in a grim mood. He's been keeping himself busy as a distraction, but it's not doing much to help.

Even so, he can be found doing one of three things:

A. Doing yardwork! He can be found in the front yard at 1249 Williams Road, raking leaves, tending to the garden. You might even catch him dragging a trashcan to the curb, the contents of which smell a bit like Thanksgiving dinner.

B. He seems to have tired of yardwork, and is trying to use electromagnetism on the rake and other various gardening tools- spade and what have you. He floats the tool up in the air and tosses it across the yard, trying to get it to land in a pile of leaves. His aim is improving, but sometimes he misses really, really badly- especially with the rake because it's more wood than metal. You might want to watch your head.

C. Going for a walk. Headed particularly towards Cunningham Lane, but he's taking his time about it. He's also deep in thought, so he's not exactly looking where he's going. ]

You'll walk right into something if you don't pay attention.

[electrowhipit]

Huh? [ blinks a couple of times ] What?

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

I said, you'll walk right into something if you don't pay attention.

[She watches him a bit]

Are you okay?

[electrowhipit]

I... ah. [ he rubs the back of his neck ] Not really, I guess. Is it that obvious?

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

Well... People generally only walk around that spaced out for a few reasons. Usually they feel sick, they're down, or they're really concentrating on something.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think you're either the second or the last. You don't seem to be feeling unwell.

[electrowhipit]

[ frowns ] I guess it really is that obvious. I'm just... having a bad day is all. Sorry if I disturbed you.

[She shakes her head at his last comment]

You're not disturbing me. I just think it would be bad if you ran into something.

[electrowhipit]

Ah. Well... thanks for your concern, then.

... We haven't met before, have we?

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

No. I'm Kira Kashino.

[She gives him a warm smile]

[electrowhipit]

I'm Jolt. [ he smiles as well, but it's obvious his thoughts are still elsewhere ] Nice to meet you.

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

You too.

[She notices]

Do you like chocolate, Jolt?

[electrowhipit]

... Chocolate? I suppose I really don't know one way or the other. Why?

[infinitemars.livejournal.com]

It may sound silly, but sometimes it helps one's mood.

[Kira reaches into a pocket in her skirt, sliding out an unopened chocolate bar, and hands it to Jolt]

Here.

[electrowhipit]

[ He takes the chocolate bar and gives her a somewhat less distracted smile ] Thank you.

[She nods, then goes a bit quiet. She sometimes has issues with carrying a conversation.]
