Ender's Swingin' Bachelor Pad, Naboo [Wednesday, Fandom time]

[momslilassassin]

The nice thing about how time worked on Naboo was that even a few days away from Fandom meant that Ender and Ben had gotten almost a week to themselves to unwind.

Now the fridge was restocked, the rooms were prepared and the droid Ben had made was bustling industriously around getting rid of dust bunnies.

Ben and Ender were ready for their Fandom (and other universes!) invasion.

"We'll wave," Ben said, grinning again. Warren's enthusiasm was infectious. "Want the tour? Karla's been here before, so she knows the important parts: the kitchen, the dock, where the lotions are for sunburn..."

When you had red hair and insisted on getting caught up with your boyfriend while outside, sunburns happened.

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[wwiii]

Warren didn't really remember what a sunburn felt like.

Warren never wanted to remember what a sunburn felt like.

"Better start with the kitchen," Warren decided, grinning, "so that I know what room I need to keep her out of, for the good of us all."

"We tried to buy as much food as possible that didn't need anything fussy to happen to it," Ben said, leading the way through a light and airy front room, "since Ender and me aren't exactly chefs either."

And Karla was terrifying when left unsupervised.

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[wwiii]

Karla as a threat to national security, when left unsupervised.

"I'm really not one, myself. But I can handle coffee and throw together something simple if I know what in the world I'm looking at," Warren offered, following after and looking around with open-faced approval. "I'm not exactly a gourmet chef, but I can handle a sandwich."

"And I can do salads and stew in a pinch," Ben said, "and can char things over a fire when stranded somewhere."

And that happened fairly frequently when you were Ben.

"This is the kitchen, and yeah, the milk's supposed to be blue."

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[wwiii]

"If this is the blue drink you were telling me about, I'm going to be really disappointed."

Of course, certain liqueurs were pretty good in milk, too...

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[momslilassassin]

Ben laughed. "No, I'm not Ender, who enjoys going out and ordering milk."

Weirdo.

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[wwiii]

"I guess drinking yourself stupid isn't for everybody," Warren decided, chuckling. "But I feel better now, knowing that you're not going to try to pass off blue space milk as some kind of trendy new drink for nights on the town."

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[momslilassassin]

"I'm not that mean," Ben proclaimed. "I'll make sure to get you something properly space-y, like a Twin Suns!"

Which made you see double.

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[wwiii]

"It even sounds space-y!"

Warren was, if nothing else, a very enthusiastic tourist!

"I think I'm going to have to try that, now."


[And now I flop off to sleep. SP?]

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[momslilassassin]

"Yay!" Ben cheered. "We'll have so much fun."

[OOC: SP=LOVE!]

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[wwiii]

Did Ben have any idea how hard it was for Warren to keep from retorting with, "In space?"

Well, it was. Honest.

"How do the bars compare here to the ones back on Earth, anyhow? We're not going to accidentally end up buying one or wake up with an angry goose in the room the next morning or anything, are we?"

Really, Warren considered those things a hallmark of a good night out.

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[momslilassassin]

"Probably not," Ben offered. "Oh, and don't break any of the stuff in the house. Ender gets a little annoyed."

Ben paused thoughtfully. "Which reminds me that I need to buy him another vase. He broke the last one. Repeatedly."

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[wwiii]

"Has something against that one, does he? Don't worry, I'll do my morning stretches outside," Warren promised, biting his cheek to keep from laughing. "I try to avoid causing property damage when I'm a guest, really."

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[momslilassassin]

"He said it was ugly."

Because it had been So. Very. Ugly.

"I'm sure he'll appreciate that," he added with the kind of sincerity that had moved passed sincere and into teasing.

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[wwiii]

"Well, did it look anything like that one that Karla has?"

Warren had seen his fair share of hideous vases in his day, but nothing had ever compared to that... that thing that Karla was so fond of.

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[momslilassassin]

"It was in the same sort of family, yeah," Ben admitted.

In the "Oh God, My Retinas" family.

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[wwiii]

Warren let out a low whistle, and then just shook his head, looking faintly awed.

"I'm actually kind of impressed they even made that many."

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[momslilassassin]

"I bought them here!" Ben said proudly. "I can show you where."

Why would you do that, Ben?

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[wwiii]

Warren considered this for... like two seconds. And then the thought crossed his mind that maybe he could send one anonymously to his father or something, and...

"Do it."

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[momslilassassin]

"We'll look in Theed before the cultural dancing," Ben said, then thought of taking vases into the Clinging Mynock.

"...maybe after."

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[wwiii]

"Maybe tomorrow," Warren countered, after a moment spent trying to picture them dragging hideous vases around Naboo while drunk.

While drunk, and still totally bewildered about that whole space thing.

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[momslilassassin]

"Tomorrow's good too," Ben said happily. "The shop's not that busy."

Go figure.

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[wwiii]

Warren would have been genuinely surprised if the shop had been busy, really.

"Well, then it seems to me like we have a plan set out before us. Vase shopping. Naboo souvenirs."

Re: Day One: Daytime [Lake Country]

[momslilassassin]

"Ignoring the action figures," Ben added.
