A Strange & Winding Road: Day 27

Eep (to Robert): Oh! Hey. Wasn't expecting to find you out here.

Robert (to Eep): Howdy, stranger. Have you rejoined the living, or are you still in "Mad Painter in the Wilderness" mode?

Eep (to Robert): Heh. No, it's slowed down a bit. Did you get that big article done? How did it go?

Robert (to Eep): Yes. Finally! If I never have to write another sentence about motorboat engines, I can die a happy man.

Eep (to Robert): Yeah. I can imagine. Um, are you OK? You seem... I dunno. Off or something.

Robert (to Eep): Do I? Heh. I suppose I might. I've been dumped. Jacob broke up with me today.

Eep (to Robert): Oh! Jesus. I'm, uh, I'm sorry.

Robert (to Eep): Heh. It's alright, Eep. Calm down. You look more upset than I am. It was going to happen sooner or later. It's not as though we were dating exclusively. My guess is that Jacob has someone else he's interested in just a tad bit more.

Eep (to Robert): Oh. Right. Well, if, um, you need anything... I'm like right next door, so, you know.

Robert (to Eep): Heh. You sure have changed a lot, Eep. Don't worry. For the better. It's nice to see. And don't worry. I'm fine. Thank you for worrying though. It's just too adorable for words. Good night.

Eep (to Robert): Yeah. Yeah. Fuck you too! Night! See you later. (to Mouse) Hey, pretty lady.

Mouse (to Eep): Hey stranger. You know, you look vaguely like this guy I live with... any relation? :-P

Eep (to Mouse): Heh. Nope. No relation at all. Who's this guy who lives with you and leaves you alone all the time? He sounds like a jackass.

Mouse (to Eep): Nah, he's not that bad. He's just been distracted with art. He put up with my craziness for awhile, it's only fair. I can cope. Besides, I know how to get his attention, if I need it. :-P

Eep (to Mouse): Heh. Oh yeah? How's that?

Mouse (to Eep): Well, the easiest way is just to start baking something and if that doesn't work, I can always break out the big guns... like show him the new outfit I bought for deejaying at the club. And, if that doesn't work then he's probably dead. And, I'll have to get a new one... you seem like a perfect candidate. :-P

Eep (to Mouse): Heh. Well, I selflessly volunteer my services, then. So, you, uh, you got a new DJ outfit, huh?

Mouse (to Eep): Heh... yes. sort of. Sasha asked me to deejay at private party for him on the 4th of July & I needed a more appropriate ensemble. He's having a Gothic Beach Party at his house... He's done it every year, it's usually a blast.

Eep (to Mouse): Oh? Oh! So you bought something for a gothic beach party? Well. That's, uh... Yeah.

Mouse (to Eep): Heehee... I'm wearing it right now, if you'd like to see it. Though, I probably shouldn't distract you from painting. :-P

Eep (to Mouse): Oh. Well, I suppose I can take a break for the rest of the night. Heh.

Mouse (to Eep): Well, that is wonderful news.

Eep (to Mouse): Oh. Heh. Good to hear... Oh. I, uh, I ran into Robert outside when I was smoking a cigarette. Looks like he and Ripper broke up.

Mouse (to Eep): Really? That's a shame. I thought they were good together.

Eep (to Mouse): Yeah. I think Robert's a little more upset about it than he want to let on.

Mouse (to Eep): Wait... So, Jacob ended it? I always had the impression that he liked Robert a lot more than he wanted to.

Eep (to Mouse): Yeah.That's what Robert said.

Mouse (to Eep): Hmmm... maybe, I should bring Robert some of this bread tomorrow.

Eep (to Mouse): He kept telling me he was fine, so yeah, I think you should. It's funny. Like just last week, Ripper seemed all put out because he thought Robert was gonna dump him. I don't fucking understand people.

Mouse (to Eep): Wow... Maybe, Ripper did it to save Robert the trouble of having to. I really have no idea. I kinda want to punch them both in the head though... Dumb boys.

Eep (to Mouse): Heh. Hey now! We're not all du... Oh. Wait. Yeah we are. Nevermind. :-P Yeah. Well, if Ripper broke up with my former roommate to "save him the trouble," he's an idiot.  I dunno. Robert said they weren't exclusive, and he got the impression there was someone else Ripper was more interested in.

Mouse (to Eep): You'll get no argument from me... I mean, they seemed to be spending an awful lot of time together for people who weren't serious. I have no idea. I've never seen him talking to anyone at the club that he seemed interested in. Weird. I am staying out of this... but I'll bring an "I'm sorry you got dumped" care package over to Robert tomorrow.

Eep (to Mouse): Likewise. All I know is that Robert's never, EVER mentioned anyone breaking up with him before. Well, lately, anyway.

Mouse (to Eep): Awww, I think he may have really liked Ripper. That's sad... And now, I feel like the fact that I'm wearing this bathing suit under my clothes really inappropriate.

Eep (to Mouse): Oh yeah? How inappropriate is it?

Mouse (to Eep): Hmmm... bikini inappropriate. :-P

Eep (to Mouse): Oh yeah. Huh. I think I should really be the judge of that, since I'm not spending tonight painting, after all.

Mouse (to Eep): Well... I suppose, I could show you. ;-)

Eep (to Mouse): I think you should. Come on.
