WHAT Christmas in July
WHERE Every-fucking-where
WHEN Day 141 & 142

[IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR. It's . . . well, time doesn't really work well here anyway, but it's been 'a while' since the last 'festive activities' so that's what's happening, right here, right now.

It's still warm enough for shorts and t-shirts, but there's also big fat snowflakes falling from the sunny sky, making piles of it that are pleasantly cool and don't seem to melt. Skating rinks! Palm trees and cacti decorated with pretty sparkly lights! Do we even have those? We do today.

Besides that, you can do whatever you want to, to get into the #mood:

• Mistletoe? Mistletoe for kissing, for cuddling, for whatever?
  
• Mysterious gifts with your name on them that turn out to be a long-lost item from your childhood?
  
• Blankets that you get trapped under until someone joins you in there to cuddle?
  
• [insert your fun here]

Attitude. And I kept turning them down, didn't have time to mess with them.

[willnotwatch]

That makes sense.

And now?

[aintrunning]

Now? Here? Not interested, and half the people here don't know what soccer is.

[willnotwatch]

[he smiles, genuine]

I meant what you like to do now.

[aintrunning]

[scowls, dislike even though he can't see it, he can feel it]

I'm catching up on games and movies. Dropped off long enough for a new Madden and Fifa to drop. There's that whole Star Wars mess now, too.

[willnotwatch]

[that's like the default state of a conversation with you bro he got it]

I... don't have any idea what you're talking about, with the exception of Star Wars.

[aintrunning]

[sssigh]

They're video games. Football and soccer.

[willnotwatch]

Virtual reality?

[aintrunning]

No, Xbox. Cool it, Wakanda.

[willnotwatch]

[he... makes a face, but goes quiet again instead of retorting]

[aintrunning]

[makes a small "tch" sound, slinging his head to the side]

[willnotwatch]

...

[very carefully, without looking over] Will you show me how to play them?

[aintrunning]

You know how to play.

[willnotwatch]

[shaking his head]

I don't.

[aintrunning]

Soccer?

[for real]

[willnotwatch]

I meant the video games.

[aintrunning]

[biggest. fucking. sigh. and shaking his head]

[willnotwatch]

Why not?

Afraid I'll beat you?

[aintrunning]

Shut up.

[getting up and going to start walking, god]

[willnotwatch]

...

[fo...llows?]

[aintrunning]

[doesn't seem opposed to that and going to Shuri's lab??? ok]

[willnotwatch]

What have you two been working on?

[aintrunning]

[a soft grunt]

Me? Electrical. Her? Don't know, ask her yourself.

[willnotwatch]

I thought you were meant to assist her.

[aintrunning]

It is assisting. Girl needs power to work. And she needs a lot of power to do a lot of work. Needs a new transformer installed each day.
