How To Not Do Things, Thursday, Period One

[hatesmoststuff.livejournal.com]

April was still normal at least until a be50'sed post went up so she could get contaminated, which meant business as usual in class today. Which meant basically there was nothing going on.

Well, almost nothing, because there was a pile of board games in the middle of the room and pillows all over the floor instead of desks or chairs.

April just shrugged. "Week before finals."

So... have fun, kids.

That ... was a new look, yes. And one Juliet was almost certain he wasn't stealing from some random hipster fashion blog.

"Sure, but did you know you're sort of monochrome?" she observed warily. "Also, I like your regular glasses much better."

Jeremy pushed his glasses up his nose, even though they were already perfectly in place. "But these are my regular glasses," he said. "Aren't they good? I thought they're pretty neat."

He wasn't touching the monochrome thing. It was normal!

Juliet shook her head. "Those are what some hipster in Park Slope would wear and think they looked cool, like, five years ago," she informed him.

Jeremy looked slightly unsure of himself. "Really?"

He didn't understand like half of what she'd said, mind.

"Yes." And now Juliet looked genuinely concerned. "Are you feeling okay? You sound weird."

"I'm fine," he said. Just concerned about his glasses, now. Also fidgeting with them. "Peachy keen."

"Wet?" Juliet asked, mostly to see what he'd say. This was looking a lot like random island crazy to her, and the best thing to do with that was to smile and nod.

"... What?" Sorry, Juliet. He looked around, and down at his suit. "What's wet? Did I spill something on myself? I don't remember drinking anything."

Oh, Jeremy. Poor, poor, monochrome Jeremy. Juliet reached over to solemnly pat him on the head.

"You got brainwashed," she said slowly. "It's okay. You'll get better. You didn't spill anything, it's just -- an expression."

Re: Play Board Games

Jeremy ignored that first bit, because it didn't make any sense. "Is it? I haven't heard it before, is it new?"

Just how out of the loop was he?

"Somebody I know made it up," Juliet said vaguely, because the alternative made her sad. "It means ... cool. Neat. Awesome. You know, good."

She nudged the board toward him. "Anyhow, what color car do you want?"

Re: Play Board Games

"Is there a grey one?" Jeremy asked, though with a smile. A little bit of monochrome humor, there. He reached for the blue one. "Blue for boys."

Juliet flashed a fast smile as she claimed her car. "Pink for girls. So retro."

This wasn't necessarily a bad thing. She liked pink anyhow.
