2nd Delivery: Mischeif and Victory | Action & Phone

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Action
[Sometime in the afternoon, Miki can be seen sneaking out from behind an alley behind the pizza shop a certain genius_idiot works at. She is carrying a wrench and chuckling evilly to herself as she sneaks away.]

Phone
[Later on in the day, while working the counter at Prospero Packages, the courier company she delivers for, Miki is messing around on her phone whenever there isn't someone inside who wants to make copies or have a package delivered.]

"Halloween was fun, but I think it lacked something. There wasn't a race to see who could finish fastest, or a competition to get the best candy. I don't know what this Thanksgiving thing coming up is but I'm sure it's probably just as boring. I think we need to liven it up with some kind of competition that I will win."

They'd be together. Speed baking combined with speed eating.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a recipe for disaster, stomach-aches, and probably vomiting in some form or another...

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Well people aren't going to win if those are their concerns.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

In that case I predict you might as well have a food-related endurance contest while you're at it.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Like how many pies to the face someone can take?

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

I was thinking more along the lines of an 'iron gullet' contest or something. Wouldn't even need a separate section for it.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Oh so like who can eat the worst thing like spiders and stuff? That would be perfect!

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

[Miki. Miki why.

Sigh.]

Guess I'll stop being coy -- I'm implying that speed baking and speed eating mixed might create foods unfit for human consumption, and the speed eating portion would make things become tragic fast.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Oh, I guess we don't want people vomiting everywhere.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Unpleasant and unhygienic. I'd take a pass, personally.

Just retool the idea behind the contests a bit and things wouldn't be half bad.

No promises though

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

I'll think of something, possibly with less vomiting.

But that is the best kind of promise in this situation

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Hey, all I'm saying is the less gastrointestinal distress, the more likely people are to look back fondly at the event.

Re: But that is the best kind of promise in this situation

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Yeah but competitions aren't exciting if there isn't at least the possibility of death or injury. I guess you can still do that in a less messy way.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Err. I thought the point was to win, not to cause grievous bodily harm?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Well it's not the point no. It does make things more exciting and means I can't get in trouble when I punch someone.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Easy, girl. Is it really that much fun to sock someone in the jaw?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

I...uh..it...s...sometimes...

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Lemme guess: it all depends on who it is that's getting the socking?

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Pretty much anyone who thinks they can take me.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Guess I'd better stay on your good side, then.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't do anything to you Devola! You seem like a nice person!

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeven if I was gonna compete against you in whatever event~?

...Though I don't think I'd do much other than just that to deserve any chin music.

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Sometimes you have to put friendships aside temporarily when it comes to winning. If it was something that really didn't involve hitting people I'm usually pretty good at following the rules.

[skaldssong.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah. The spirit of competition says you've gotta give it your all, right? Something about 'sportsmanlike conduct' too, if memory serves...

[nomammano.livejournal.com]

Exactly! As long as you try to follow the rules anything can go!
