i'm counting back the number of the steps

Characters: John Egbert, Dave Strider, and anyone else who wants in.
Setting: Cafeteria! Saturday the 20th.
Format: Whatever goes.
Summary: Boys, candy, boys in pink skirts. John needs to get out more.
Warnings: Language, teenage boys being jerks to each other.



John was actually starting to get used to and almost enjoy his costume. The pants were a little tight but the jacket was actually sort of cool. He didn't pull the look off terribly well with his coke-bottle glasses, but thankfully he hadn't lost those to the costume since he sort of needed them to see. He had fallen into the habit of always having a candy cigarette in his mouth, to complete the look. He felt like maybe being in character would help his chances of getting candy.

So far it wasn't, really, but he had a good enough haul as it stood.

Currently, he was sitting at a table with his candy all strewn across it, sorting it and counting the individual pieces. He frowned.

"Why is it always banana laffy taffy? Banana is gross."
reddeadvirtuoso: (Right. You have to kill yourself.)

"Ding ding ding, A+ work John. You don't even need a gold star effort because you fucking aced it."

Typical Striderian lingo, but it was hard for her not to crack some kind of a grin around Johns and Egberts. So you get the bonus of getting both, except then she had to take a moment to look confused.

"Wait, which John are you supposed to be? I swear to god this is getting fucking ridiculous."

"Egbert?" H u h. In retrospect it, actually did make sense. Not dork enough to be a Harley, but too dork to be anyone other than an Egbert.

The small smile was back to stay for a bit longer though, and she took hold of John's hand to shake. "Well, you already know which one I am so, so that makes this whole thing apallingly one-sided. You've now been delivered your karmic reason for all the banana laffy taffies."

"Yeah I'm kind of a big deal." Only she's not really at all.

"Hey, don't call bullshit on Karma. That's just gonna get you more karma on your sorry ass. Do you want more bananas?"

"On what grounds?"

Arms crossed, totally legitly. This is serious business, bro.
reddeadvirtuoso: (Haha¸ cold and blood and...)

There was a really unattractive half-snirk and half-snort at John's last comment. Try to play it off Jade, it's all cool it's all cool.

"Sarcophaguses is fucking hilarious, but sarcophagi is even better. And by the way the voodoo is totally legit, it's a future-active curse that permeates the timeline."

"It's a serious affliction that plagues the deep tribes of the Fungali natives in the Amazon. There's a charity drive for them and everything." Crossing her arms like this is the most true story that was ever told.

"Your karma voodoo is getting way high, dude."
reddeadvirtuoso: (Sprite: Just a small smile)

Damnit man, do you know how hard it is to keep a straight face when you're cracking up like that?! Really hard! So Jade was trying to keep back some chuckles and snickers of her own.

"And you sound just like my Rose and John, so I guess that just makes you an ultra dork. It's a ridiculous celebration of alternate universes all around."
