Case 47: Turnabout Boredom

[Well, Kay's been a housewife for just over a week now.  Once the initial shock wore off, she was actually kind of excited about it because it meant she wouldn't have to go to school anymore.  But now that some time has gone by, she's finding out just how boring her new life really is.  You can find her around town on Friday in a couple of different situations:

1. At home, sitting in the living room watching her Jammin' Ninja DVDs for the umpteenth time in a row.  It's still her favorite show and all, but it's sort of been her go-to activity for boredom lately, and even that's getting a little old.  Family, feel free to bother her before or after work or school.  Passersby can probably see the glow of the big-screen from the street, since she's got the curtains open.

2. In the yard building a snowman.  She's got some food coloring out there with her, and for some reason it looks like she's trying to make it look like it's wearing a bright fuchsia suit.  There's also a messily ruffled white napkin sticking out of where the snowman's head meets the rest of its body.

3. Hanging out at Japan's cosplay cafe when it's not her shift.  She's been working there for a little while now and probably knows the other employees, so any coworkers or visiting friends can come over and say hi while she sits there eating cake and drinking hot chocolate.]

[Yeah, she's laughing a little at the derpness]

"Usually not as a customer."

"Oh... oh!

Uh. So, how is it working here?"

[[Awkward Aaron is awkward. Keeps asking questions to stall for time to think of something. Anything.]]

It's great! The waitresses all get free cake on their shifts, and I get to wear a ninja costume while I'm working.

"Oh! Ninja's are cool. Do you get a sword?"

[[Oh thank god. If she was a maid or something else Aaron would be stumbling on this conversation forever.]]

That'd be pretty cool, huh? But I don't have one.

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Nothing, really. I just jump down from the ceiling sometimes.

[identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
"You do that all on your own?

That's pretty cool."

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm getting better at it, anyway.

[identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Still, it sounds like fun.

I just push pins back up all day."

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[At first, she's thinking of safety pins or something, so this takes her a second.]

"...Oh! Bowling pins!"

[identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, yeah.

I work at the bowling alley."

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-22 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm... I've never been there before. Maybe I should see if Takeshi wants to go bowling sometime.

[identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com 2011-01-23 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh... OH! Oh.

That's cool. Yeah, you two should come by sometime. It's boring when it's just drones."

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-23 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe we will! Bowling can be pretty fun.

[identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com 2011-01-23 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, and if you catch it during my shift I'll keep the drones from making it creepy.

Also Cynric works there and he's a pretty cool if strange kid."

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-23 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Cynric, huh? I don't think I know him.

[identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com 2011-01-23 07:36 am (UTC)(link)
"If he's working, you'll see him. He's hard to miss.

He's... quirky."

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-23 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I guess I'll meet him when I show up there, then.

[identity profile] pants-yourmove.livejournal.com 2011-01-23 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Probably.

Anyways, I better get going. Have fun!"

[[Now to make his mistake.]]

[identity profile] thief-of-truth.livejournal.com 2011-01-24 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
"All right, see you later!"

[What mistake is that?]
