Joke Eleven: In Need of Human Conversation

[crazy_clownwoman]

UGH! I've had it up to here with the stupid drones at this place! Especially their lame-o conversational skills!! Can't they talk about anything normally!?

[There is a thoughly exasperated huff. Before Harley calms down]

Anyone up for some Christmas shopping? Or decorating or something? I'm bored out my wits an' if I don't hear people talkin' in something other then dronize I'm gonna lose it for sure.

[Harley been taking some extra shifts at work and is now starved for some actuall conversations. Hairstyling=worst job ever]

Yeah, I bet.
[Follows her onto the sidewalk]

They just assign you jobs here. I found out I had a job when they called to tell me I wasn't showing up.

[Walking, walking!]

Yeah, someone called the home to tell me I'd missed a babysitting appointment or something, so apparently it happened to me as well.

How long have you been here?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

[walking...]

I've been here for about four months.

[silvestris-mage.livejournal.com]

I don't remember how long I've been here, but I'd like to go home anytime!

...how do you know what to get people for this Christmas?

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

It's just like buyin' gifts for birthdays, pick out somthin' you think they'll like.

And if you can't think of anything, give them candy. Everyone likes candy!

[silvestris-mage.livejournal.com]

Oh! I think I can do that. I don't have many people to shop for, anyway.

Oh! Candy. I'm not sure if they'd like that. They probably would, though.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm just gettin some things for the people who live in my house. And maybe a few others if I see anything good.

Who are ya' shopping for?

[silvestris-mage.livejournal.com]

Hm. Well, Sophie Hatter, because she's been so nice to me. And then, Lemony Snicket, the librarian. It's like...a thanks present, really.

[crazyclownwoman.livejournal.com]

Aw, that sweet.

Well if he's a librarian I bet he'd like a book. We can go look at the book store first!

[silvestris-mage.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea. I've no idea what type of book he'd like, but mayhaps he'd enjoy a book about animals.
