[ch. 5] tuesday, w/ rebecca

[asswipe]

[Hey, Rebecca.

At some point during Tuesday, she'll find Veronica holed up in the kitchen. It seems like she's starting to heat up some water, a box of tea and two cups laid out on the counter. When she notices she has company, she smiles at her in greeting.]

I'm making tea. Do you want some?

... Yeah, that's fair. If you're really afraid of hurting yourself and whatever your title is... doesn't involve that.

Anyway, it's a movie that came out in 1989.

[asswipe]

[a beat.]

... It's October 1989 for me. [yeah.]

[disclosures]

It released a-- never mind.

Come here, I need to style your hair with a fork.

[asswipe]

[LOOK... LISTEN....... SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE LITTLE MERMAID IS.

But also, yeah. Okay. She nods, shutting off the stove before they do anything.]

Okay, okay. Should I sit down, or...? [Since they're both the same height?? Apparently??]

[disclosures]

[ Rebecca looks baffled but it's... Fine? It's really okay by her if Veronica can't tell. ]

Yeah, sit down and I'll style it. How do you want it to look? Updo?

[asswipe]

[It's the curse of being from one (1) month before the movie is released, rip...

Either way, she goes take a seat.]

Yeah... That's okay. If it gets your objective done, it's fine by me.

[disclosures]

[She'll pick up the fork and start using it kind of like a brush, bringing it all up into a ponytail.]

This is the first time I've ever had to do somebody else's hair.

[asswipe]

Really? [huh.] Not even in pre-school?

[disclosures]

I'm pretty sure my mom did my hair then. But there's no way she'd let me near hers.

[asswipe]

... Well, you're getting to do someone else's hair now. Hooray for new life experiences?

[disclosures]

It's not a bad one. Though I'm pretty sure this would be way easier with a comb instead of a fork.

But they had to be specific about it.

[asswipe]

What's with the fork, anyway? I know you said it's from a Disney movie but, um... the reference is lost on me.

[disclosures]

[Hmm...]

When did you say you were from again?

[asswipe]

1989...?

[disclosures]

Huh, that's the year the movie came out.

[asswipe]

It's... October for me. And I had other things on my mind besides going to the movie theater.
