This One's Shorter

Bad Guys Need Flowers - Pt. 23
**************

As the trio walked towards the pool – the sectioned sun rays of the fall forest approaching relatively, through the giant window – Cal noticed Midnight looking at him.

Cal: “What?”

Midnight: “Surely you have something to say. I’m carrying a mysterious paper bag.”

Cal (thinking): “Umm… okay: What’s in the bag?”

Midnight: “I meant something a bit more interesting; more suspicious, with a tinge of bitterness, or maybe cuteness.”

Cal: “Honestly, I don’t know what to say anymore. You’ve already pigeonholed me as the sarcastic guy, so how am I supposed to play that up without being a repetitive bore?”

Midnight: “It’s not repetitive if it’s creative.”

Cal: “Creating two Earths would be repetitive.”

Midnight: “Not if one were different than the other. You’re thinking too much. Just say something witty.”

Cal: “Something like what?”

Midnight: “That’s your job.”

Sally appeared: “Meow.”

Cal: “Something like that?” Midnight didn’t listen.

Here is the original flickr caption for the picture in this post:

"Cat is such amazing animal. When they put up their paws, you have no idea if they are going to give you a cat massage, or give you a good scratch. You won't know until the paw lands on you.

喵= meow in chinese. Because we speak to our cats in chinese, I bet they speak in chinese cat language too.

Edit: Someone at LJ mentioned "喵" looks like a grimacing face. haha it does!"
