The Bookbelt, Sunday

It had been a surprisingly quiet day.

Quiet in a cypher sort of way, Owen meant. He spent some time that morning cleaning up a bit, broom in hand, but by afternoon laziness had struck and he'd take up lounging in the corner.

But it was quiet. His senses weren't even giving him much data on the weather.

"Sigh."

Yes, he just said the word 'sigh' out loud.

"I come bearing lunch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nina announced as she breezed in, takeout in one hand.
cypher_can_fly: (owen: check me out!)

"Lunch!" Owen exclaimed, sitting up. "Excellent!"

"I wasn't sure what you'd like," she said, setting the bag on the counter. "But, like, I figured almost everyone liked Chinese???????????????????"

"I... have no idea what it is," Owen admitted. "I've only recently come into a take-out budget."

He hopped off the seat and went for the bag.
bookbeltof_love: (yeah uh huh)

"Then I sincerely hope you like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Nina was definitely going to let him have first pick at the options, in that case.

"How has everything been here????????????"
cypher_can_fly: (owen: lounging)

"Well, they seem to be behaving," Owen said, making a show of looking around himself. "For now. You never know, the cheeky bastards."

"I'm letting them pick out new furniture," she said idly. "Like, they live here, so I thought that was fair??????????"
cypher_can_fly: (owen: implore)

"You're letting the books pick out furniture," Owen said dubiously. "All... right."
bookbeltof_love: (o rly???)

"Radio was like that too," she complained, "and, like, I think it makes perfect sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
cypher_can_fly: (owen: i'm listening...)

"Hey now, I'm not judging," much, Owen said, holding his hands up. "But this entire business does turn into something of a slippery slope if we start treating the books like people." Beat. "That we sell."
bookbeltof_love: (WE'RE DOOMED)

"I mean, like, they don't mind being sold????????????" Nina said, glancing at the shelves. "None of them have ever been like 'ohmygosh, nooooooooooooooooo' at the idea????????????"

"Would they, though?" Owen said, gesturing at the shelves. "I mean, no offense, you did buy them, lock them up in a small building - if you're not leaving them tied up with plastic in the back room - and then you sell them to people who might do who knows what to them. Would they really have the guts to complain?"
bookbeltof_love: (that's great!!!!)

Nina stared at him.

"I mean, like, given that some days they want stories read to them and other days they're willing to murder anyone who comes near them then, like, yes???????? I think they'd protest?????????"
cypher_can_fly: (owen: so listen)

[personal profile] cypher_can_fly 2019-09-19 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
Owen shrugged. "I'm just saying," he said, "that if we're going to start taking their furniture demands seriously, we might as well just turn this place into a 'book zoo'. It's got a ring to it."
