Sure I am. I've got my shield, remember. I saw the stampede and made some popcorn to watch the show. It was like the PG-13 version of the running of the bulls back on Earth. I used to beg my Mom's back home to let me go but no it was always 'Franklin, we're not letting a bull have their way with you'. Really, Mom?! I'm not just gonna let any horny stud gore me in the ass!
Anyways! I had a good time, got a nap in between on a bed of flowers safe inside my shield all courtesy of the whole god-hood thing. I'm sure one day, you'll be deemed worthy enough to be a god too, Wash. I mean, there's all sorts of gods these days. They've got a god of death, insanity, and even cars! Oh! And I bet there's a spot open for Party Planners~ Specifically, house warming parties~ I've got a book all about planning one if you need any help! :)
I remember, I figured it would keep you safe but I wanted to check anyway. And I'm not touching the bulls thing with a ten foot pole.
I don't think I'm god material. Especially not party planning god material. Besides, I'm already learning magic, I don't want to be too badass or you'll all be intimidated by me, right?
[ It's an attempt at a joke and also dodging this whole housewarming thing. Because seriously you don't want him to plan you a party. ]
OH! Are you and Carolina doing a show together?!!!!
Wow! Who would've thought you two would end up in the entertainment business after your whole Freelancer gig. Oh! Do you have an agent yet?! Because I am a very good agent. I even launched my own Franklin Donut Productions agency a while back. It's been a rough turn since that whole Chorus incident cut me off from my production crew and the whole fighting a civil war business, but as soon as I get back, I'll be sure to contact you both! We can be partners! Red Hot Partners!
Donut... It's not for entertainment, it's practical. It's real, not tricks, that's why it's so difficult. And I'm not telling people because it's hard and I'm not very good at it yet.
Okay, I'll be over in a little bit. I've got to pick something up first.
[ And so he does -- he has to check for permission but then swings by the northern garden and picks up a little tomato plant that's been sheltered by one of the domes, in a cute pot and everything. Then he heads to Donut's love shack, knocking politely with the pot in the crook of his other elbow. ]
[ In place of a hug Wash thrusts the little potted plant at Donut -- look, a gift! That will save him from the hugging, right? (It almost certainly won't.) ]
How could you have-- no, save it, tea is fine. Thank you.
[ He shouldn't be surprised Donut found a way to make snacks. This is the guy who managed a daily wine and cheese hour in the middle of nowhere.
Wash gestures to the interior decoration, which could have been Donut or Love, there's no way to know without asking. ]
Oh! I can get a space heater all for it! I'll decorate it! Make it feel more at home! What kind of songs do you think I should sing to it? Rock? Pop? Maybe some classical opera!
[ He's brimming with excitement at the possibilities! ]
Oh! Look at me~ Going on about plants while you sit there looking thirsty. [ He skips on over to pour him a cup of warm tea. ] I figured since I had so many larkspur flowers, I could at least use them for something other than sleeping on them. So, I thought, why not tea?!
[ Oh god it's cute. Where does Donut even find these things? Who knows, maybe the cutesy stuff came with the bungalow, Love seems like the type. Wash is just glad Donut seems to like his tiny gift, but reaches for the tea to try it. It smells like medicine, and he considers adding some sugar first, but... why not try it straight first? He takes a small sip.
It's terrible. Wash immediately reaches for the sugar. Be polite, Wash... ]
I think it's an acquired taste. You've tried this?
((ooc: sorry if you get this four times dw will not post it....))
[ He pours himself one and adds a generous amount of sugar before he takes a generous drink. He's acquired the taste by now... ]
I've had... a little bit of Monica in my life~ A little bit of Erica by my side~ A little bit of Rita is all I need~ A little bit of Tina is what I see~ A little bit of Sandra in the sun~ A little bit of Mary all night long~ A little bit of Jessica, here I am~ A little bit of you [ he points to Wash as he sings ] makes me your man~
[ He ends the song in a hum and takes another solid drink, the music playing in his head. Yes, he named each flower before drinking it. ]
[ He's not even surprised, as he adds a ton of sugar and takes another sip -- nope, still terrible, screw manners. ]
I'm glad you like it but I think it's not for me-- [ Actually he's starting to feel weird and shaky, and sets the little cup down carefully before he drops it. His hand is trembling. ] --what? Does it do this to you?

I'm fine. But you don't want me to try and throw you a party -- maybe you should talk to Tucker, he'd be good at that.

Wash!
[ He's all sorts of excited for his first visitor! ]
I set out some tea. Hope you like Hyakinthos tea~
[ He skips into the kitchen where he has the little tea cups and saucers all set up. ]
Would you like some crumpets? Little sandwiches? Finger food?

Did you do all this yourself?
no subject
A house warming gift? You shouldn't have~
[ Yes, you most certainly should have! He loves it! Donut skips to the kitchen where he sets it on a windowsill where it'll get some sun. ]
What is it?
[ He asks as he pokes it, coaxing it to grow, but it's not a flower so the suggestion doesn't have an impact. ]
Yup! All by myself!
[ He pipes up, turning with a flourish in what looks like a ballerina twirl before dipping his shoulders down in a curtsy. ]
Do you like it?!

[ Wash takes a closer look around... it's cozy, in addition to the flowers outside. He grins a little. ]
Yeah, I like it.

Here you go.
[ He turns the saucer so the handle is facing him, and slides over a cup of sugar his way in case he wants to add some. ]
What do you think?
[ He asks, eagerly waiting for his approval? ]

Do what?

Something wrong, Wash?
