Halloween Party (open RP)

[nerdherdchuck]

ooc: This post is open to everyone. Your character can drop by IC, metaly or via bendy time too. Whatever works. :) Feel to play and have fun!

Chuck donned his ren faire ruffled shirt and vest once again. Although he would eventually break into the Sandworm costume, he thought to have something costume-ish on in the meantime.

The courtyard outside Chuck and Ellie's apartment was decorated with Halloween lights and spooky decorations. Music played as costumed guests mingled with one another while a couple were helping themselves to the snacks and punch set up on a table at the edge of the courtyard.

Shrugged a little bit, "School work has sucked out my brain and replaced me with a pod person. The usual."

She nodded seriously. "Yes, the water maiden comes out of the water and where she steps flowers bloom and those flowers will bring people good luck and happiness."

He walked around her and then said with a grin, "Well, it's an amazing likeness."

"Sounds like a nice story."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Her head tipped back and she laughed, "there's a little return code on the back of my neck. That way if I malfunction they can send me back to the pod fields."

Rocking back and forth on her heels she shrugged. "What makes you think it's just a story?"

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

"Of course. Those pod people are always thinking."

Casey gave a sort of, "Yeah right" look. "Because it is."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"It could be the reason they are taking over the world, sad but true." She gave him a shrug and then shook her head.

"No, it's true! Just trust me on this."

"Can you shoot these aliens if you have to? Cuz I will," Casey assured Salome.

"So are you a water maiden or a pod person? Because then the flowers won't work if you're a pod person." He then laughed.

"Awh Casey that's how I know you really care, when you threaten to kill for me." She teased him with a laugh and nudged him in the side.

"I really like how you just interject this earth logic of yours into this conversation. Pod me is at home, I am a water maiden so they do really work." Makes a face at him.

Casey shrugged. "Military mode just switches on like that, I guess."

He then gives her a 'Riiight' look and replied, "Of course. Must make it easier to not have to find a babysitter that way."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"Uh-huh, that's what it is. It's okay, you can admit it, I won't tell a soul." Laughing she settled down and then looked very tired for a moment.

"Yeah if only it was that easy."

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

"Admit what?"

Casey nodded. "I didn't think it was."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"That you like me, that deep down you care just a little bit."

She snapped out of her tired look and smiled, "it could be worse, I'm really lucky I guess."

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

"Define 'like.'"

"So who's watching the rugrat?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Rolling her eyes she gave a labored sigh, and then shoved his arm lightly. "No, go look it up in the dictionary."

"Grandma and Grandpa, thank God. Sometimes it's nice to get out of the house, and I feel guilty for saying that."

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

"Are we being the cryptic one?" Casey replied with a slight eyeroll.

"Hey, you do deserve a break once in awhile too."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"We might be, we also might struggle with basic word definition." She rolled her own eyes at him and then stuck out her tongue.

"Actually I don't think I do, something in the young unwed mother papers."

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, right."

"If you never signed those papers, they agreement was never binding," Casey then smirked a bit.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"It's true. Though they do say that the opposite of love is not hate but indifference."

Tilting her head to the side she put her hands on her hips and gave him a look. "You don't really sign them, they are kind of just thrust upon you."

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

"Well, thanks for the daily words of wisdom."

"I see. Might want to talk to a lawyer then." Casey was having fun with this. Maybe since he already made plans to never have the life of the mini van and the Costco trips.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"Hey! I had to eat like forty fortune cookies to get that little nugget of wisdom so you savor it. Ya hear me?"

Salome continued to fix him with her "are you crazy" stare, "I should talk to . . ." She shook her head stopping that train of thought. "I don't need to talk to a lawyer, you just need to have a kid."

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

"Loud and clear," Casey remarks.

His eyes go a bit wide and he gives Salome a sort of 'WTF?' look. "Me? Have a kid?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"Good man, good man." A very serious nod.

Salome loves the WTF looks from him, and if he can tease her, she'll tease right back. "Awhhh yeah! You'd be a good dad, I can see it with your mini van and the soccer team in the back . . . Or is it baseball? I like soccer."

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

"Right, John Casey, soccer Dad." He shook his head. "I don't think so."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"No! I'm serious, you'll grow into it. Parenthood is one of those things that you grow into." She was grinning now, actually showing teeth. And ready to run at any moment.

"You'll have a golden retriever too!"

[johncasey.livejournal.com]

"A minivan, a soccer team and a dog." Casey rolled his eyes. "And every Sunday we'll head to Costco," he sarcastically added.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"Hey, buying whole sale is very important. Did you know you can get like twenty million pickles in a jar there for twenty bucks? I never knew!" Of course the first time she even been to Costco was two months ago.
