Kellerman's Resort, Saturday Evening, October 17th

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

It was the last night of a magical week here at Kellerman's. It could only be hoped that everyone had the time of their lives. That they'd never felt this way before.

But we swear it's the truth.

And they owe it all to the wonderful camp for putting up with everyone's shenanigans. Bobby.

//People,// Jono agreed, rolling his eyes and speaking directly to Ben. Being able to choose who heard you and who didn't was rather handy, at times. //I suppose the reminder can't hurt any, at least. I'll get too comfortable with people bein' comfortable with it, and then th'next semester'll start and I'll have to ease people into my voice all over again.//

He was not looking forward to that.

We can get you signs like Jak, Ben teased. 'Why yes, you are going insane. What voice in your head? Run, Run!'

Re: Bonfire

[furnaceface]

//I'm more fond of the, 'do whatever the voices tell yer t'do' route, myself,// Jono decided. //I could cause all sorts of interesting chaos that way, I imagine.//

Re: Bonfire

[momslilassassin]

Ben laughed. Think they'd do your laundry?

Re: Bonfire

[furnaceface]

Jono couldn't help but laugh back, at that, shaking his head.

//I don't think any voice in my 'ead could make me want to do my own laundry at th'best of times. I don't know that I'd subject anyone else to it, mate. I'm a mutant, I'm not evil.//

Re: Bonfire

[momslilassassin]

What did you have in mind, then? Ben asked.

Re: Bonfire

[furnaceface]

//I haven't a clue,// Jono confessed. And then he was going to have to chuckle a little more. //I have plenty of time to get creative about it between now and th'next semester, mind yer.//

Re: Bonfire

[momslilassassin]

And you'll totally impress them with your Thor helmet, too, Ben assured him.

Re: Bonfire

[furnaceface]

//But not half as impressive as yer metal trousers, of course.//

Jono winked and tapped a rimshot on the body of his guitar with his fingertips. It came out as something of a ba-dum-twang.

He loved that guitar of his entirely too much, yes.

Re: Bonfire

[momslilassassin]

Ben laughed. "I've always wanted my own theme music. Just not that one."

Re: Bonfire

[furnaceface]

//I could come up with something a little more yer speed, I'm certain,// Jono offered. //What sort of music do yer like?//

Re: Bonfire

[momslilassassin]

"Nothing with kettledrumsA little bit of everything," Ben said. "Corellia's had some good stuff coming out in the rock scene."

Re: Bonfire

[furnaceface]

//Rock, I know a little somethin' about,// Jono mused. //Corellia, not so much. Now yer've got me curious if it differs from th'rock that I'm more familiar with, at all.//

The best way in the world to get Jonothon's mind off of uncomfortable conversations: Music talk. Ben was good at this!

Re: Bonfire

[momslilassassin]

"I'll bring some by the next time you're in the library," Ben promised, smiling. "It's a planetary system back home."

Re: Bonfire

[furnaceface]

//Fridays, mate,// Jono replied, wearing as close to a smile as he was ever going to get. //Now I've got somethin' to look forward to. I haven't heard any music from anywhere but Earth, before.//

Re: Bonfire

[momslilassassin]

"Oh, I'll start you with good stuff, then make you listen to droid spoken word when I get upset," Ben said, laughing.

Re: Bonfire

[furnaceface]

//Bring me something good, and something well and truly awful,// Jono replied, giving his head an amused shake. //We'll see how I like th'first, and if there's anything under th'sun that can be done to salvage the other.//

And if it was absolutely horrible enough, they could just play it alongside a track of bagpipes, and it would be like the worst of both worlds!

Re: Bonfire

[momslilassassin]

"If you can salvage droid spoken word, you might get a holiday named after you at home," Ben said.

Re: Bonfire

[furnaceface]

//I think Starsmore Day has a nice ring to it, don't yer?//

Why yes, Jonothon was indeed that confident in his ability to make music out of the worst of it.

Re: Bonfire

[momslilassassin]

"I think it'd fit right in at home," said the Skywalker.

Re: Bonfire

[furnaceface]

//There's my problem,// Jono decided. //I clearly just grew up on the wrong planet.//

Which was a more common problem in Jono's universe than one might think.

Re: Bonfire

[momslilassassin]

"You can go visit other ones," Ben said with an easy smile. "I go home fairly frequently. My dad misses me."

Re: Bonfire

[furnaceface]

//Yer figure I'd get along any differently out there than I do here?//

By way of demonstrating what he was talking about, Jono was nodding in the direction that Hurley had been sitting in, now.

Re: Bonfire

[momslilassassin]

"I think no one would even look at you twice," Ben said honestly. "There are thousands of species at home. It's incredibly rude to stare."

Re: Bonfire

[furnaceface]

//I wish starin' was th'worst of it.// Jono's gaze flicked upward momentarily, almost wistfully, then. //That might be why I decided to stay, when I found myself on the island. The staring, I can handle, mate. And the stupid questions.//

Once again with the pointed glower at where Hurley had been sitting. Plonker.

//I'd like to see where yer from sometime, perhaps. I'd even do my best to not look too obviously like a dazed interplanetary tourist.//
