Strokes of Genius, Wednesday (December 16)
If it said anything about some of her artistic predilections, Katchoo hadn't paid the splotches of color on her hands any mind on her walk to work; she was just that relieved not to have her phone blaring That Frikkin' Song over and over again, and yet dubiously eyeing it just in case it decided to buck the trend of single-day randomness. (It was her phone. She strongly suspected it of picking up her perverse streak.)
When she did get to the store, though, and caught a glimpse of her festively color-streaked face reflected in several pieces of glass down the framing aisle . . . let's just say her face and hands paled in comparison to the language (if you could call it that) coming out of her mouth.
Only for a minute or so, and then she had to retreat behind the counter and start to laugh. Because really -- what else could you do? Frikkin' island. At least she could listen to music today; when she turned on the radio, she found a traditional Christmas music station. Not her first pick, but now out of sheer curiosity she decided to listen, just to see if they played a vocal arrangement of the Coventry Carol where you could actually make out the words.
[OOC: I was trying not to eat all of the box of dark chocolate-covered shortbread star cookies I got at Trader Joe's a few days ago, so I ate the OCD instead.]

As far as a conversation starter went, it at least beat MY HAIR! for class?

"The gremlins're chewing on the island again," Katchoo answered, looking up with an equally bitchfacey (and festively-color-splotched) expression. "Hell if I know, but it's not the right season to be a human Easter egg."

Excuse her a moment; it would take someone far stronger not to snicker at the thought of Arthur Pendragon, runway model extraordinaire.

She paused and gave him an actual, if brief, grin. "Barely." Hey, it was hard work being nice.

Sadly enough, this was Arthur at his stealthiest in terms of dealing with friends. We'd like to reiterate the fearing.

Oh, yes, she was feeling the fear now.

patronizinglyplatonically cute, that honorbound thing. "You don't have to get me anything," she protested halfheartedly, and a little uncomfortably; it wasn't made in anything like the same context, but Arthur's request reminded her just a bit of all the times Darcy'd asked the same thing, and she'd reeled off lists of demands without a second thought. "And I'm not making the joke about a pony because you might actually do it."no subject
Uther's line on people who got close to you was that they generally wanted something and you'd best ask them directly so they wouldn't get into the habit of scheming to get it; in that regard, the question really did hold some of Darcy's load, but only because he didn't know much better.
"Although I still need to get Reno's."

"Now I'm half tempted to say I really do, just so I can get pictures of you leading ponies around the school grounds. But nah," she said, half-successful at smothering a chuckle, "if there's anything I really want, it's help giving Francine a nice night out sometime. Tickets to a show in the city or something like that."

... his mind was a scary place.

Beat.

He retaliated by reaching over to poke Katchoo in the ribs.
no subject
Such dignified behavior from both of them, wasn't it?
no subject
The immediate retaliatory noogie-attempt afterwards? Totally dignified.
And possibly an example to demonstrate that sometimes he really did forget Katchoo was a girl. Whoops.
no subject
"Dammit, Pendragon!" she yelped, sounding less protesting and more oddly triumphant.

Even if he was bigger and she wasn't getting out of this hold and dammit.

Yes.
"I could always just lie." This, accompanied by a vague and possibly horribly aimed attempt at elbowing him.

That hacking-up-a-hairball-from-hell sound you heard would be Arthur's future laughing itself into a bitter little pile of irony in regards to Pendragon family values.
no subject
Okay, she could relax -- wait. Now that was evil cackling.
"Fine, you overgrown knucklehead!" God, she was going to have a hell of a time combing the tangles out later. "You have a frikkin' sense of proportion, all right? It's just a unique one!"

She straightened, looking at him curiously. "Got any pointers?"

All of Arthur's best friends were disrespectful to him. What was that?

"Takes too much effort," she said. Teasing, honestly.
