29th Inning

[Because these are the important things at hand, Mayfield. Obviously. Not getting out or dealing with the crazies in town or anything like that. No no, it's DATES.

Admittedly, Scout needs a distraction since there's been another rash of dronings amongst his lady friends. He's particularly perturbed by the droning of Ema. They'd been up to SOMETHING of utmost importance at his house, in the basement. If his housemates try to pry, he'll tell them it's top secret and for them to do their best to keep the drone wife out of there, with a wink and a mischievous grin. He keeps it locked and there's a hastily-made sign reading "TOP SECRET - DO NOT ENTER UNDER PENALTY OF BAT TO THE FACE" hanging on the door. There's an... interesting smell coming from down there. Like fruit juice gone bad.

But yes, a distraction. A date with Taiwan sounded out of this world, but he needed someone for her friend! But who? WHO? So he gets on the phone and starts yelling until someone answers. That's how he works.

Totally unfiltered call:]

YO CHUCKLEHEADS. I need ta hear from some single guy out there, awright? I got a hot date lined up fer us! Ya don't wanna miss out on this! Help a brother out, come on!

[It's at this point that he realizes that, outside of his team, he doesn't even have that many guy friends. And he can hardly call most of his team "friends" anyway.]

Um... Ryo, my man! I know yer up for this! Vince, you like chicks right? Um. Pruss-- oh shit, yer a nation. Never mind. They said "no nations". Anyway, somebody out there's interested, right?

[Later he can be found on the town, buying flowers. Cuz that's what you do for these things, right? Shut up, Vince. :|]

...men.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Yeah?


Hey look, I ain't datin' him! I got two lovely ladies lined up fer us.

[1-21jigawatts.livejournal.com]

That's the worst part, talking about these kind of things in public! I feel sorry for whoever you're dating!

[ergaleomancer.livejournal.com]

You. Will. Not. Shout. Into. The. Phone. Again.

Leave it to the Americans to broadcast their courtships so blatantly, without regard to the feelings of the ladies involved.

Be that as it may, if you need an extra person, I would be more than happy to escort a lady to whatever engagements you have planned. ...I need to meet more people.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

What's the big deal? They got on the phone first!

[You... you confuse him so.] I-I dunno. Maybe? I'll get back ta ya on that.

[aitherial.livejournal.com]

Ah. So she wasn't lying.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

What? Who wasn't lying?

[savethedata.livejournal.com]

...If you're going out with the hot nation chicks, I want to go. Please take me. Please please pleaseeeeeee!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Hmm, maybe! Are ya like, a sensitive guy 'r whatever? Long walks on tha beach an' stuff like that? That's what she asked for.

[She's just walking through town, trying to get her head sorted after a certain person from home came to Mayfield. Then she sees Scout...in front of flowers...

...yeah have a stare man.]

[Scout's staing in the window, half looking at the flowers and half looking at the drone of Mia working away. He frowns and sighs at that.]

[electrowhipit]

[ DID SOMEONE SAY FLOWERS 8D

I mean, have a Jolt peering over your shoulder at the flower shop ]

Looking for something in particular?

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

[He was concentrating pretty hard, so you startle him a bit.]

Wha-- oh, hey pally. Yeah man, I got me a date comin' up! Gotta bring flowers, right?

[armywithcountry.livejournal.com]

[Would be claiming that dates were for sissies right now EXCEPT]

They said what? What do you mean no nations? I mean yeah, some - actually, most of them are pretty lame, but I'm fucking awesome!

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Hey man, I'd totally bring you along but it was what they said! I dunno why man.

[magicbloomers.livejournal.com]

Do they have to be a good date?

Apollo might need to go on a date...

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Well yeah, sure! Who's Apollo.

All the hot girls are NOT droned

[Fran runs into Scout during his flower buying]

Oh hello~ How is the leg healing up?

:|

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

...Oh, hey Fran. [He jogs in place.] Never better.

[muffled-noises.livejournal.com]

...You're being dumber than usual.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

What is everyone's freakin' problem with this!?

[weaponsparked.livejournal.com]

... I suggest drowning the female in plant life and polished rocks. I've heard they enjoy that.

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

What the hell're ya talk-- oh wait, ya mean flowers and jewelry? But of course, pally! Gettin' flowers is where I'm headin' next.

[mokorilove.livejournal.com]

...What's this all about?

[He doesn't like the sound of this, but... well...]

[freakinblur.livejournal.com]

Dude! Ya might be too late, I think someone mighta jumped on the bandwagon already. So like, Taiwan an' her friend were lookin' fer dates, but ya had ta have two guys willin' ta go! So I was lookin' fer someone ta come with me.
