Getting a bedtime story.
[04:48:14] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: Once upon a time there was a grumpy Jedi named ...Fal.
[04:48:28] *** Louise gets comfy ***
[04:50:44] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: One day Fal was assigned to oversee a festival alongside a happy Jedi girl named ...Alavore
[04:51:21] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: Fal wasn't sure what to think of Alavore because she smiled alot, and clearly smiling meant she wasn't paying attention.
[04:52:01] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: Alavore wasn't sure what to think of Fal because he frowned alot, and clearly frowning alot meant he probably had to poop.
[04:52:20] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: And a Jedi couldn't be expected to perform his duties without first performing his doodie.
[04:52:32] Louise: rofl
[04:53:34] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: Little did Alavore know that Fal had eaten some bad nyork chowder that morning because his oats were eaten by an escaped womprat from the Jedi temple research labs.
[04:54:05] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: Fal actually really had to poop.
[04:55:11] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: But he wouldn't say anything, because that wouldn't be kosher.
[04:55:50] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: So they patrolled the festival, sharing awkward and forced conversation; Alavore trying to coax a smile out of Fal, Fal trying to coax his sphincter as tight as it would go.
[04:56:46] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: Alavore, a Healer in training, happily tended to some young folks with ruddy knees and elbows. Fal tightly remarked they aught not be running through crowds.
[04:57:15] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: It was the perfect good cop/bad cop routine: young folks were thoroughly treated and chastised all in one go, and no one was out of breath.
[04:58:28] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: Afterwards, Alavore learned that Fal had never had cotton candy before and decided that today was the day he would give it a good ol' college try.
[05:00:15] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: So she bought Fal a nice, bright pink cotton candy and insisted that even though he blanched at the sweetness, it would be rude not to finish it all. Fal, being terribly upset at the thought of being rude, slowly shoveled the sugar-froth into his mouth piece after piece. Alavore had only been joking, and found his inability to catch a joke quite and his determination not to seem rude strangely charming.
[05:01:12] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: This blokes alright, Alavore thought to herself.
I'm gonna blow, thought Fal to himself, face turning ashy-white.
[05:01:51] *** Louise peeks out of the blankets, appearing enraptured ***
[05:01:57] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: haha
[05:02:53] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: Then Alavore learned that Fal had also never eaten funnel-cake, so she bought one of those too and insisted that he help her eat half of it because she was watching her figure and men were bottomless pits anyways.
[05:03:27] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: I'm going to be bottomless before too much longer... thought Fal to himself as he forced down the sickeningly sweet funnel cake.
[05:04:33] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: And then, because the festival was full of good people and there wasn't much for them to do, as the night wound down Alavore suggested they go join the dancefloor.
[05:05:22] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: Fal, having two left feet, was not keen on this idea but he was a chivalrous man and couldn't bear the horrible pouty face she gave him when he frowned in response.
[05:05:54] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: So he tried to dance, but it was awkward and tight-arsed and he trod on her feet a few times.
[05:06:54] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: And all the hopping and the twisting and the turning and the jitterbugging got his stomach all angry as it churned up all that festivaly-goodness with that terrible, horrible, no-good nyork chowder.
[05:07:28] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: Suddenly he could not hold it in any longer and in his terror he flung Alavore into a table and tore off to the nearest port-a-loo.
[05:07:51] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: He didn't make it.
[05:08:05] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: The moral of the story?
[05:08:13] Trillian ::Cait-Cat::: DONT EAT NYORK CHOWDER FOR BREAKFAST FAL
[05:09:08] Louise: This is now canon.
