Fourth

[Someone's feeling nostalgic.]

Hey, uh, did anyone here ever go to one of those...waffle houses? Like, back home?

[This is so awkward. Bluh. Why is she even doing this?

Oh well.]

Do you think we could...I dunno, make one...here? Maybe a German one?

[Okay that's enough embarrassing awkwardness. She shuts the feed off.]

Cool name!

Everything's always better when you're high.

[He laughs.]

[She laughs too, amused.]

Didn't occur to me to try that here. Guess you're more creative with your time-killing than I am.

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

Well maybe you just aren't hanging out with the right people, huh? If you were, then you would never feel the need to "kill time."

[Sean seems to be trying to get to know George better. That or he just wanted an excuse to make air quotations.]

[Eyebrow. Is that a come-on?]

Why don't we just try and build a waffle house first.

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

[A come-on? Who Sean? What are you talking about? Ha ha haaaaaa.]

Oh man, though! Even if we managed to build it, who would we get to staff it?

[Sean and his sometimes logical questions can have bad timing.]

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

Well, it might not be an actual restaurant. Seems kind of silly since we can get whatever we want from the closets and the kitchen. Someone suggested making a model of it, though. That sounds good to me.

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

So.... we would renovate the entire kitchen?

[Sean is far from dumb, sometimes he's just a little slow on the uptake.]

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

...No. Just a model. Like a doll house?

Or haus, in this case.

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

Oooooh.

Are we going to make little doll versions of ourselves to put inside the model?

Can we have a waffle feast?

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

...I guess we could do that. And duh, waffles are a given here either way.

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Far ooooout.

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

Oh my God, when are you from?

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

1962. What about you?

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

Oh wow. I'm from 2004.

[Snort.] That explains some things, I guess.

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

Is everything chrome in the future?

[Eyebrow raise.]

People have been telling me that a lot, recently.

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

[Ffff.] Afraid not. I think they were teasing you, kid.

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

Aw, man. What a drag. I was really looking forward to everything being shiny.

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

Sorry to break it to you.

How long have you been here that nobody's told you that yet?

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

Well, someone informed me that there were, in fact, no flying cars. But then I didn't want to ask about the chrome thing too.

[Sigh.]

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

Well, there's cell phones to look forward to, if you're that into technology and shit. And the internet'll blow you away.

[thecassidykid.livejournal.com]

..Oookay?

[Sean smiles.]

So what do you do in 2004?

[akapeanut.livejournal.com]

[Reap dead people's souls?]

I work at a temp agency. I place people in jobs.
