Perhaps she's learning.
Anyways, he's messaging her now, and she blinks.
Huh.]
Fairly quickly. A few days if it's easy. Maybe a week to get it perfect if it's not. I'm told my memory is very good.
Why do you ask?
<Harrington>
i wanna do something nice for him and thought you might want in on it
i also thought that the nice thing could be us playing him all of his favorite songs live
i've got some tapes set aside, so you at least won't have to guess how they used to go if that helps with the short notice whatsoever?
[ The fact that they fell out of the sky into his lap inspired him to step on the gas on this idea, admittedly, when it might not have stood any chance of being possible with no reference material available. ]
what do you think?
<Zigazigah>
Oh. God, damn it. Once upon a time she would have said yes, but now? 200% complicated.]
I think it's very sweet of you.
I appreciate your foresight too, although you'll do well to remember if his birthday happens during the fog, I can't help you. In fact, I'm fairly certain it does.
[She has no clue, actually, but she is desperately hoping she is correct. Fog, do this one thing for her, you've got to!!!]
<Harrington>
yeah
yeah, that might be a problem, but i can't just not try, you know? he's never had anyone throw him a birthday party before
and if the fog's rolled in by then, then we'll probably have to postpone anyway
i'll pick a makeup date with a better forecast
<Zigazigah> he's never had a birthday party ;__;
Although to be fair to him and other lucky monsters, he doesn't get stuck in one form for the entire duration of a fog, and that's before all the other fun it brings.
Anyways, Steve is determined, and Trish should have anticipated that. Of course he would be. This is important.]
I know.
Planning around the fog just means everything gets shuffled around.
Again, I can't promise anything. If it's not the fog, it may be something else. I don't want to disappoint you either way.
<Harrington>
i'll manage even if you can't show, ok? i've got a guitarist on the job too
and a piano man
:)
plus, i can pay you if the extra practice cuts into your work
<Zigazigah> Scoops with a Scoop....
But I'll let you know if I change my mind, Steve.
Right now, it's firmly a maybe.
[More likely a never.
She'll invent a sudden cough or something if she needs to. Sorry, Signor Harrington.]
<Harrington>
everything okay?
i know i'd be bummed if spending half of every month as a giant bear meant i had to miss out on so much
[ And she just...
Doesn't seem enthusiastic about this as she thought she might be, but he's not going to spin it like that. Because he probably shouldn't expect everyone to match his own excitement level. ]
<Zigazigah>
Another, bigger part is touched, however. Here he is being concerned in that weirdly thoughtful way of his, one that he pulls out when she least expects it.]
I'm fine.
I'd be lying if I said I was used to it. I suppose it could be worse.
There's just not a lot a bear can do, feasibly. Unless I feel like scaring someone just by existing. :/
<Harrington>
bad joke, sorry
i'd also be lying if i said i had a solution
i'll be sure to let you know if i hear about any opbeartunities
also a bad joke, but i'm serious!
<Zigazigah> OPBEARTUNITIES
[Daily reminder you're in deep with Italians, Steve.]
I'll forgive your second too, but only because it was cute. And I'm only giving you that because you're doing your very best to be sweet.
You don't have to do that though. If there's a solution, it's on me to find it.
<Harrington> her options are looking grizzly
we have this bear that's like the mascot for campfire safety, and he shows up to tell you all the different ways you can fuck it up
not LITERALLY, i mean that's how the commercials go
[ And ok, ok, this is where he's not going to get all caught up in the fact that she called him sweet. ]
it's not, though
sticking together, helping each other out is the best thing we can do here
<Zigazigah> puts you in the pear wiggler for this pun assault
[Listen, she knows he's talking to the closest thing anyone can get to a sapient bear, but, sir.
Please.
Her mood is crap, but there's the tiniest bright spot in Steve explaining a shitty American forest mascot to her, however.]
I don't disagree with that necessarily either, but there are other things you help me with already. I suppose you could call it "leaving bear problems to bears".
<Harrington> bear wiggler BEAR WIGGLER [ i am instantly decapitated by bear claws ]
[ Interesting, interesting. ]
hmmmmm
what is it i'm helping you with already?
[ That he's viewed as a help at all is news to him. ]
<Zigazigah> puts the rest of u in the bear wiggler to make a smoothie
We may as well live on different planets.
[The moon comparison is too small in scope. Think bigger, Steve!]
Don't think too hard on it, by the way. It'll be less effective if you do.
[This is an insanely oblique way of saying Steve helps just by being Steve. He wouldn't be down to talk to her about dumb shit when she's clearly feeling less than great, right? This is a Steve-ism.]
<Harrington>
:P
ok, ok
hope it keeps working for you then, whatever it is i'm doing
<Zigazigah>
[People out here defending the Leaning Tower's honor: Trish.]
Genuinely, if you're confused I would tell you, but I get the sense you know exactly what I mean.
