Would you believe that Raph started the day in a
good mood? Yeah, I thought not, but he did. Might have had something to do with some earlier
introspection.
Anyhow, he is quickly met by
Divis Mal. An exchange of Kevin Smith-esque
banter ensues.
Penny
arrives and Raph sends a shot of
Tequila her way. The plan was to get her to come to him, the plan was not for her to actually
drink it. Damn bluff callers.
There's a minor detour in action as Mal and Raph discuss the nature of
bluffs. Raph learns something
personal about Mal which makes him uncomfortable. So of course the topic turns to
baseball. What? It's a guy thing.
Cripes, I nearly forgot about the convesation between Crichton and Raph, which happened
here. There's something wrong, but Raph can't quite put a finger on it. And no, that's not vaguely sexual in the slightest.
Back in
Schmoopy Land, Penny and Raph get
cute. There's a pause in the action as Penny drops the
"B Word". Then there's some
snark, a bit about
relationship roles, a bit more
schmoopyness and the
inevitable question gets asked.
Wow, this reads like a Harlequin Romance Novel.
*cues romantic music*
Emotions are explored.Desires questioned and answered.Uh....
locations decided upon? *Blinks*
Back to something not so ... um...Schmoopy?
George sets
next to Raph.
He snarks at her, and she gets really quiet. Mal wants the skinny, and Raph provides. There's nothing vaguely sexual about it.
Thanks to the wonder of Milliways time, Raph also has the opportunity to have a chat with
Meg. She tells Raph about her upcoming
audition, and there is Splinter impersonating. They compare scars and talk about her upcoming
self defense lessons. Raph decides that Meg talks too fast, and is rather shocked to find that she has levels of
hyper as yet unseen. True to form, things end on a snarky note.
There was some stuff with the Bar disappearing, but I'm going to let other people summarize that. Why? Because I
am lazy trust their summarization skills.
*Goes to leave*
Whattaya mean, "What happened with Penny and Raph?"
Oh like they're going to just post that stuff for the world to
see.
Geez, give them some privacy, nosey people.
