[fundemetal]

where: in the park underneath a shady tree
style: Starting with prose, but will change to match.
status: OPEN

Leo made his way into the park and picked out a large shady tree with a bench to sit under. If he was going to be spending all afternoon in one place it had to be somewhere comfortable and easy to be spotted in.

Buford was with him and he was using the sentient table to rest his SFC on so he could check for any messages while he waited for people to come get the app programmed in. He had no clue how many takers - if any - there would be, but he hoped that at least a few would be interested. He could really use the money to get some things from the Nostalgia Nook, especially some celestial bronze. He had a few projects lined up and couldn't get anywhere on them without some decent funding.

While he waited, he kept himself busy by fiddling around with some materials he'd gathered from the shopping district and from his magic tool belt. He built tiny machines and then took them apart again to make something new.

Comments

[fundemetal]

"That's cool." Relief flooded through Leo when she said she didn't mind the question. He began to cool back down, but his cheeks remained rosy for a little bit.

"So a mostly girl band? Rock on."

[redboots]

"You know it." She flashes some devil horns, still grinning. "I might have to compromise a bit for the shows. This one girl has a nice set of vocals, but she's..." Marceline twirls her hand a little as she finds the right word. "Pretty freakin' pop, if you know what I mean. I think I can work with it, though."

[fundemetal]

"Not quite sure I know what you mean," Leo said. He wished he could have just nodded and say "Yeah, I get it," but he had to be honest. "But good luck with that."

[redboots]

Oh Leo. She is going to have to teach you so much. Sighing, Marceline pulls out her SFC and flicks through it until she finds her old post about music.

"Alright, you've heard me sing, right? Now, this is Bloom." She shows him their exchange. "Look at me, then look at her. Remember my preferred songs, and listen to what she goes with. See the difference?"

[fundemetal]

Leo takes a look at the feed with interest and can immediately see what she was getting at.

"Yeah, I can see the difference." He laughs, "Good luck with that. She's cute. But not my type either."

[redboots]

"I meant musical type, stupid." But it's a friendly tease as she shoves at Leo's shoulder. Marceline looks back to the SFC again, rubbing at her chin. "I mean, hey, until I do a serious play with her, who knows? Maybe the whole opposites thing could work, like good cop bad cop. Popstar princess and rock 'n' roll queen."

[fundemetal]

"Oh, right." Leo laughed a little nervously. "So is she your type non-musically?" There goes his big mouth again. "But yeah, it could work."

[redboots]

"Man, what is with you and the sudden interest in my love life?" She gives a shrug. "I met her for five minutes on a little computer starfish. Could work, could not, I dunno." An uncomfortable idea suddenly hits her, and she literally can't help but ask, "I hope you're not asking 'cuz you're interested, I'm seriously not doing the dating scene right now, especially with dudes because of my last asshole ex." Crap, she hadn't meant to say that last part. Curse, you and her are going to have problems.

[fundemetal]

"I don't know. I'm sorry. I'll stop asking questions about that." Leo wiped his hand down his face - something between a facepalm and straight up clawing at his face.

"Not interested. No offense. You seem cool and everything but I'm perfectly fine with this just being a friend thing."

[redboots]

"Phew." Thank Gob, she had not wanted this to turn out like the Finn thing. Not that the Finn thing had turned out to be a Thing, and was really just a dumb Jake thing, so. Y'know. "Friendzoning is a beautiful thing, lemme tell ya."

[fundemetal]

"It's the only zone I know." It was meant to be a joke, but it came out a little sad sounding due to the curse. Hopefully Marceline would gloss over that because he'd had enough third wheel feelings for one week already.

[redboots]

Ouch. Marceline would keep her fingers out of it. She wasn't that nosy, and she didn't want him to get all miserable on her already. Instead, she manages to just jerk her head back towards town. "So, you gonna grab something to eat sometime soon?"

[fundemetal]

Leo was relieved that she changed the subject. And then he realized that he was hungry and food might be a good idea.

"Yeah, pretty soon. Kind of said I'd be around in the park every afternoon in case people wanted me to install this program on their communicators to prevent accidental posting." He looked down at his SFC to see what time it was, "But the afternoon's over in about 20 minutes, so I'm free then."

[redboots]

"Sweet." Flipping onto her back, Marceline rises a little higher while pulling out a little notebook and pen from her pockets. "Lemme know when the afternoon's over, then, I'll be writing down some lyrics in the meantime."

[fundemetal]

"Sure thing." Leo gave a thumbs up and went back to working on the prototype.

Time passed more quickly than he thought it would, but that happened a lot when he got sucked into his work. He put away the pieces in Buford's drawer and sent the table back to the house.

"Ready to go get some grub?"

[redboots]

"About time!" Marceline tucked away her stuff and did a little backflip until she was upright. "So, whatcha in the mood for?"

[fundemetal]

"Pizza sound good?" He asked before realizing that vampires and garlic are generally a no-go. At least in fiction. He wasn't sure about in reality. "Unless that's a problem? Then I'm down for something else."

[redboots]

"Why would it be?" People's conceptions of vampires are so weird! Then again, Marceline guesses this whole 'multiple worlds' thing does tend to mix things up. She gives a shrug. "I love pizza- so long as it has a ton of peperoni and sauce."

[fundemetal]

"Best kind there is," Leo said with a grin. He wondered how many of the vampire myths from home didn't apply to the real ones in Ooo.

[redboots]

Two, kind of, and only sometimes. Marceline grins as they start to make their way further back into the city. "Looks like pizza's the universal constant, huh?"

[fundemetal]

"Anywhere devoid of pizza is nowhere worth being, if you ask me." Leo laughed. Though there probably was some sad planet in some sad universe that lacked pizza. Thankfully, Vatheon was not one of those places.

He could smell the scent of pizza wafting from about a block away. Man, did that make him hungrier than he already was.

[redboots]

"It doesn't even deserve to exist." Sure, pizza wasn't quite the same now that she was undead- but it was definitely better than some of the pizza she found when Ooo was still a wasteland filled with radioactive monsters and thus most food kind of sucked.

...Good veal, 'tho. Wonder if you can get that on pizza...

Smelling the pizza definitely puts a skip in her- float. "I guess I'm kinda glad we got this place de-waterfied. I can only imagine the kind of junk you would be stuck with on the island."

[fundemetal]

"Fruit. Fruit. And more fruit," Leo said. "I don't think that would have made for good pizza. Not that I had to worry about that, my tool belt provided my friends and I with some food." He hadn't meant to say that. He'd only meant to think it, but it came tumbling out of his mouth anyway. "If I'd been able to get enough food for everyone, I would have shared."

[redboots]

If he thinks Marceline is going to judge him for hoarding things for himself and his bros, he has another thing coming. She just nods. "Hey, gotta look after your amigos first before you start getting cozy with random weirdos." Grin. "Like me."

[fundemetal]

"But getting cozy with random weirdos is fun."

They arrive at the pizza place and after sitting down Leo orders a large pizza with extra pepperoni for them to split and a coke for himself. He flashes his mark on his lower right arm and waits for Marceline to order whatever she wants to drink.
