[ There is something hanging from Grendel's doorknob, and that something is a heart keychain. Blue, because they're guys, but also broken in half. Shawn's smiling face graces this half and below it is etched 'BFFS.' The implication here, is that Shawn has a half of this heart too, and somehow, inside, is Gren's photo.
[He really should just come to accept and roll with Random Shit Shawn Leaves At His Door. He takes the (gift???) carefully, not sure if he should be touched or troubled by it. No one has ever got him anything this corny in his entire nigh-on-two-thousand-year existence. This is a first.
He'll set aside the marginally creepy thought that this means Shawn has somehow got a picture of him- best not let that kind of thing linger, he might start asking himself questions he doesn't want to know the answer to. ]
Thanks for the present? How did you know I always wanted something a thirteen year old girl would love?
[If he was expecting anything other than a snarky comeback for his genuine display of affection then he probably wouldn't be sending anything to Gren in the first place, right? ]
[ Of course he expects snark; it's part of why he got him something so completely stupid but also meaningful. ]
Also, don't knock the stylistic choices of 13-year-old girls. They're not afraid to embrace their inner love of horses and tassels. We could all learn something from them.
I mean, sure, if you want your life to be a Lisa Frank nightmare, then we should. But I think I'm gonna pass. Not a big fan of rainbows and horses and shit.
Look, there were piles of fucking corpses everywhere and I was a refugee running from the fucking thing that killed them. I wasn't looking close enough to count legs.
[The question here is what is big and awful enough that is makes Gren run.]
Maybe they took the horn off for magic spells and shit?
And wouldn't that be the biggest fucking tragedy ever.
No because I did live in a swamp? And I don't know. I mean I liked it plenty but I haven't lived in a swamp for about three hundred years? I think? When was New York still called New Amsterdam? That's how long it's been.
Anyway. I mean I wouldn't hate it but I don't hate where I'm at either?
I see I have to teach you everything. At least you know who Alan Alda is.
MASH - aside from being a great comedy about the tragedy of war - is a game. The letters stand for 'mansion, apartment, shack (swamp??) and house. As in which one will you be randomly assigned to as we go through the game.

Date: 2018-09-15 12:42 am (UTC)Or maybe it was an elf or something I don't know.
Text
Date: 2018-09-18 04:33 pm (UTC)you can't tell the difference between a horse with 4 legs and an elf with 2.

Date: 2018-09-20 06:58 pm (UTC)glad you made it out, bud. otherwise you wouldn't be the recipient of a cool ass keychain today.
also, random q: is it racist to assume you lived in a swamp and/or is it racist to assume you wouldn't want to live in one today?

Date: 2018-09-22 01:08 pm (UTC)so if you had to choose, MASH-style except this time the S stood for swamp, would you be bummed if you landed on S?

Why can't you ask questions like a normal person? Are you talking about that show with Alan Alda in it?
