02 ∞ Mabel?

[the-spenstar.livejournal.com]

[Out of nowhere, Shawn bounds into the Astral Plane carrying a very large stuffed purple bear that says "HUG ME" in bright green letters on its belly. He plops the bear down and stands there for a minute, seeming quite satisfied with himself- his usual big, toothy grin in full force.]

"So! Interesting story." [He announces to the Astral Plane and gestures to the bear.] "Mostly involving guns...and this..giant, purple stuffed bear I've affectionately christened Mabel."

[A pause.]

"As of yesterday's County Fair, I am officially Santa Barbara California's 'sharpest little shooter.' With a gun."

[He's even got demonstrative evidence- the gun used. He raises a clear, plastic neon squirt gun and pumps the trigger twice with a finger, giving two 'squirts' straight up into the air.]

"A big responsibility, I know. But I'm mostly confident I can handle it. Please, at your whimsy, feel free to come closer and admire the sweetness." [He flips the water pistol on a finger and hooks it on his belt in a rather showy fashion.] "I am, after all, not really armed."

It is, really, considering how many are really out there. Sorta like....oh, I know. Have you ever seen Men In Black? It's sorta like that.

Ah! [Of course, his burst of understanding comes with the movie reference.]

Are you the Will Smith in the equation, or is that this Doctor buddy of yours?

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Dunno, really. I think he would be. He's the funnier one, anyway. But he knew he what he was doing, and I didn't...so....could go either way.

For the sake of time, we can just wrap it up all nice and say you're both him.


...Although I think that'd make me the little one inside that guy's brain... Mike Nussbaum? [trails off and finally just shakes his head.]

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Would it? Why's that?

[the-spenstar.livejournal.com]

I honestly have no idea. To be frank - I was just trying to put myself into the story. [He says, with an amusing deadpan, which then melts into a smile.]

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Oh, well, that works, then. Or you could be one of the Men in Black. Isn't there another one?

Rose, the man had thinning hair. [Runs a hand through his own, meticulously styled 'doo, being careful not to mess it up.] Not to toot my own hairy horn, but I think the equation falls apart right there.

.. [Hesitates] Rose? I know we've just barely met, but I need to ask a dire favor of you.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Man in the head it is, then!

All right. What is it?

[the-spenstar.livejournal.com]

If I ever say 'hairy horn' again, I'd like you to slap me - without hesitation, if possible.

[dameluckypants.livejournal.com]

Fine with me. [Grins]
