alright now that I got your fucking attention

does anyone actually fucking play cricket like what the fuck why are there so many fucking books on this dumbass sport?

the bat is a cross between a boating oar and a sex toy

not at all ideal for knocking over mailboxes in a satisfying fucking manner

not that baseball's that fucking great either tbh like all sports are kind of shit change my mind

don't suppose any of you have ever read a book on crickets the fucking bug not the fucking bat and ball game

that isn't like

the very quiet cricket?

god fucking knows cricket ain't quiet

ps Imelda is the enemy by design only. poor woman has to deal with so fucking much as this fucking floor's RA we're a plethora of asses so go easy on her when it comes to the rebellion ok?

what

[Everyone else has been...a little distracting, and he wasn't exactly expecting anyone to try and be helpful.]

oh the crickets? nah I can find that shit on the fucking internet

besides, a couple of dumbasses over here got that covered

just looking for a book

[unpocoloco]

Did they really? I can't believe no one invited me to that.

[He was probably dead in his room at the time but look.]

Not to point out the obvious but... have you tried a library? My french isn't the best but I might be able to pick out some words, if it's a language thing.

[deuteranope]

trust me you wanted to fucking miss it. actual eating part was over by aube I think though.

nah je parle français blahblah but they were either kid books or about feeder crickets. trying to fucking introduce the joys of reading to some jackass not take a fucking nap

I found something close I guess it's just fucking annoying you know? jock dickheads even invading the quiet nerd spaces not that I'm fucking surprised

[unpocoloco]

[He takes a minute to process this. Some of these children have harsher mouths than the dead he traveled with in the outlands, and those guys had well and earned their cursing. He wants to cover the ears of these kids but it's all coming out of their own mouths.]

Sorry, English isn't actually my first language either. Are you saying that jocks are invading the library? That seems out of character.

[deuteranope]

[It's just how he talks!!!! And writes.]

my bad. no it's more like the library is catering more towards jocks by supplying sports books instead of nerdy ass bug books.

[unpocoloco]

[Por qué, Mav?]

Well that's just selling out isn't it? Turning away their loyal audience. The nerve of those guys.

But alright, if you want my guess? Try a pet store. Those guys focus on animals and even if the book you get is more along the lines of feeding the crickets to something else, you'll probably get a fair bit of information that way.

[deuteranope]

huh

that's not a bad idea

I mean it doesn't really apply since I'm reading for fun, not info, but I hadn't thought about that yet

[unpocoloco]

I occasionally have not entirely bad ideas.

That's a weirdly specific topic to want to just read for fun. You a fan of bugs?

[deuteranope]

someone else picked it

I even gave him the chance to pick something else but fuck that I guess

[unpocoloco]

Hah, let me guess. Truth or dare. I heard you kids were playing that.

If that is the case than by all means, he should be required to provide the materials. Otherwise you're forced to forfeit, putting the loss on him. Wouldn't you say?

[deuteranope]

oh my fucking god do kids actually still fucking play truth or dare

[So that's...a no... Maverick seems content to leave Héctor guessing, though.]

[unpocoloco]

Okay, okay, hang on. I'm going to figure this out.








No, I got nothing. Why are you being made to read a cricket book?

[deuteranope]

take your time

[It's pretty dumb.]

some annoying kid wants to spend time with me so I'm making him join a fakeass book club of two. I like reading so it's whatever and let him choose. he chose crickets for some fucking reason.

[unpocoloco]

Oh. That's so sweet. [Even if he's also calling the kid annoying.]

In that case, perhaps he can recommend a title? Then at least you could ask the library to order it for you.

[deuteranope]

he doesn't fucking read he's not gonna know a title

[unpocoloco]

Well, I'm out of ideas. But still, that's really kind of you to do all this for that kid.

[deuteranope]

buddy you got the wrong fucking idea here I'm not kind

[he is very kind, shh don't tell]

[unpocoloco]

Mmm, that's not what I'm seeing.

[deuteranope]

the book club is revenge!

[unpocoloco]

You're making a book club to spend time with a kid who annoys you and letting him take first pick at a book you don't care for but are determined to read so as to keep up the terms of this

as revenge.

[deuteranope]

the inner machinations of my mind are an enigma

[unpocoloco]

Of course they are. My mistake then.

[This is the cutest thing he's seen all week. His heart is going to grow three sizes.]
