A Strange & Winding Road: Day 63

Vincent (to Victor): I thought you were supposed to keep me out of trouble, Little Man. Not get me scolded. Let's get something caffeinated to soothe my soul.

Lulu (to Vincent): Ye gods... Don't tell me you're a morning person, Vincent. That just seems so wrong. (to Victor) And, hello to you, too, munchkin.

Vincent (to Lulu): Morning person? Bite your tongue. There's no need to spread vicious lies this early in the morning. Victor had a check up at an ungodly hour. We either have a very healthy baby, or a very healthy poop monster.

Lulu (to Vincent): I think it's probably a little bit of both. Ye gods, I think I'm going to need Oliver to hook up an IV drip of caffeine... Oh shoot! Is that really the time? I am totally late for work. Sorry to run out on you, but Cassie's going to kill me if I'm late again. I told her that I'd help her organize the incense & unguents section this morning.

Vincent (to Lulu): Later, tater. Good luck with your unguents.

An hour or so later:

Poppy (to Vincent): Ooo, is that coffee for me, honey? Thank you. How did the checkup go?

Vincent (to Poppy):  It is indeed. There's a scone in the bag for you as well. The check up went well. He's gaining weight like he should. He hasn't sprouted any horns or extra organs. All is well. I also stopped by to see Dr. Addison.

Poppy (to Vincent): Well, that's a relief... How did the visit with Dr. Addison go? I'm sure she gave you an earful.

Vincent (to Poppy): Heh. Doesn't she always? I got a lecture on proper family planning, and was told if Victor didn't get regular check ups, she would see to it that I wouldn't be able to have any more children personally. Then she hugged me and cooed over the baby.

Poppy (to Vincent): What is it with you & bossy females, honey? You seem to collect them... Oh... Heehee... yes you do. :-P

Vincent (to Poppy): Hee hee. Or maybe bossy females just collect me. :-P

Poppy (to Vincent): Heh... Well, who wouldn't want to collect you, honey? ... Oh Victor, you have totally made a mess of yourself. I'll go grab another onesie... Would you like to do something today, honey? Or just stay in? I'm feeling a bit cabin fever-y.

Vincent (to Poppy): We can tour the town before if you'd like, lover. Anything particular you'd like to do, or shall we wander?

Poppy (to Vincent): Let's just wander, honey. We can see if anything has changed drastically since we've been gone.

Vincent (to Poppy): Hee hee. Well, I certainly don't mind showing off my wife and child to West Piedmont.

Poppy (to Vincent): And, we don't mind showing you off, either. :-P

Vincent (to Poppy): Hee hee hee. Well, thank heavens for small favors. Shall we?

Poppy (to Vincent): Yes, let's.

Several hours later:

Mouse: Who let the people asking for oOoOO in? We're a Goth club not a whatever the hell that is.

Vincent (to Mouse): Who ARE these people in here tonight? There's a group drinking wine at the bar complaining you won't play some LOL Cat band.

Mouse (to Vincent): I have no idea... Oh god. Eep is probably going to murder someone. The last time people like this came in, they kept saying he looked like some guy from Samurai Champoo... or something like that.

Vincent (to Mouse): Oh! He DOES look like Jin. Oh my... Sweetie! You should totes get him a samurai outfit.

Mouse (to Vincent): I have no idea what you're talking about... Dear god, don't tell him. He'll be grumpy for days!

Vincent (to Mouse): Oh good heavens, of COURSE I won't. We can't tell him that. We can't upset our poor delicate flower.

Mouse (to Vincent & Lulu): I'm watching you both. Don't either of you mention it to him!

Eep (to Mouse, Vincent & Lulu): What? What the fuck are you three staring at? ... You know what? I don't wanna fucking know. I'm headed back to the door.

Vincent (to Eep, Mouse & Lulu): I'm not saying a bloody word.

Lulu (to Eep): Someone thinks you look like a character from an anime... um, do you have a mandarin collared shirt?

Vincent (to Lulu): Oh good heavens... Lulu! Your filter. Turn it on, woman!

Eep (to Lulu): Uh, yeah. I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

Lulu (to Eep): Oh. Heehee. You totally know what I'm talking about... you wouldn't be smiling, otherwise.

Eep (to Lulu): If I looked amused, it was because of the face Mouse and Vincent just pulled. Not related, my ass.

Lulu (to Eep): Okay... So, you don't know who Jin from Samurai Champloo is? And, here I thought that you were all strutting about it. My mistake.

Eep (to Lulu): Yeah. Right. Cause I'm a strutter. I'm going back up at the door now.

Lulu (to Eep):  Fine... You are such an old man.

Vincent (to Lulu): Hee hee. Sorry, Lulu. Trying to get Mr. Giggles to smile is a herculean task. Your normal tactics won't work on him.
