*jack goes quiet, and looks as awkward as he feels. his hands form fists inside his pockets*
…i don’t… i’m not… really looking… though….
Oh? That’s too bad. I know a couple of single girls who would probably like to meet you. Unless you’re into guys? *He quirks an eyebrow*
w-what? n-no! no… no i’m. i like girls. i like boobs. i-i mean girls. yes. *oh god he’s purple as anything but his curiosity gets the better of him* …a-and you do…?
*he takes the card and looks it over, nodding his head*
yes right of course…! thank you, that. yes. thank you.
*Smiles* No worries. I’ll see you later then okay? *hugs him quickly before sprinting off to buy some more presents*
*and that’s another hug. he waves her off, before looking at her card in his hands and just stands there, staring at it for a while*
she’d love that.. she likes chewy things that squeak and she’ll bite it until it doesn’t. then she acts like she just beat a bad guy or something.
*She returns to the real world, beginning to laugh* Oh wow she sounds so cute! Now I feel like shopping for her. *Stands up, feeling slightly pumped up* Oh wait, before I go, here’s my cell phone number in case you want to text me about anything. *Gives him her own card – her work business card for KMCP with her personal cell phone number on it* You can text me anytime.
*he takes the card and looks it over, nodding his head*
yes right of course…! thank you, that. yes. thank you.
*he laughs weakly*
any and everything. she’s a bit of a pig when it comes to treats.
Ooo, then maybe some treats and a new ball for her play with. Or maybe a sweater..nah that’d be too cheesy…*Katelynn begins to become lost in her own little shopping list world, a mode she was constantly getting into during birthday’s, holiday’s, etc* …maybe a stuff animal that squeaks..? I think I’ve seen lots of dogs that like that…
she’d love that.. she likes chewy things that squeak and she’ll bite it until it doesn’t. then she acts like she just beat a bad guy or something.
yeah she… she’s been with me a few years now. she was a stray i picked up, at… at the pound since my uncle works there and said a dog would be good for me. she’s pretty bossy but.. but she’s good. a good dog.
*Even as a kid Katelynn had been denied having a pet – her mom hated animals and her dad simply followed by the rules set by her mother. Then the only place she could afford in Metro City didn’t allow pets so meeting Roxy was definitely going to be a new experience, one Katelynn felt was going to be a lot of fun*
I hope she likes me. I should probably bring her some treats when I come over and see if it wins her over. What kind does she like?
*he laughs weakly*
any and everything. she’s a bit of a pig when it comes to treats.
….m-maybe after we go out and see the city a bit…? i-i mean. if you want to. and uh… wh-whose apartment we… go to I don’t… know…
*the only female to enter his apartment is his mother, and his pet dog, a black pug named Roxy. the idea of having katelynn there, seeing how messy it was doesn’t… seem right… or good. she’d hate his place, most definitely*
*She blanched at the offer, thinking of her own tiny little hole apartment with the bad carpeting and worse paint job. It was a assistant housing type of apartment and she had already gotten letters about being careful not to get paint in her food – since it tended to flake off – or risk lead poisoning*
U-Um..Well since we’re going to watch romance maybe your apartment? If that’s okay..after going out I mean. *She blushes, wishing she had a nicer place*
*it’ll have to be. it’s rude for a man to invite himself to a woman’s place isn’t it? oh god he can’t remember anything his father told him about this sort of thing!*
that… that’s ok. roxy’ll be all over you so don’t wear white. *pauses* oh uh. roxy’s my dog. a pug.
really? horror movies? wow, that… that’s a surprise. *he smiles just as sheepishly* that should learn me to judging a book by its cover, i would never have thought you would like those.
i like any movie, really. i’m a bit of a movie buff so.. yeah.
Yeah, I don’t really look the type to be into them I guess..*grabs a bit of her hair and tugs on it gently – a nervous habit of hers* I’m not really sure why I like them. They’re just…fun…
But which ones are your favorite? *smiles*
i like… action. adventure. um…
*he leans into her quickly, and whispers through gritted teeth*
romance too. b-but don’t tell anyone.
*he leans away, face purple*
i guess that’s true…
*oh his face goes purple at her mentioning the disney movies. he thought he’d remain anonymous to her over that, but oh gosh. nope. she knows that now. he smiles faintly*
…i’m… pretty good with movie watching… hah.. yeah…. disney or, or anything really… what about you?
*Grins sheepishly, tucking her hands in her lap as she curls into herself* I-I’m actually a big fan of horror movies. But I also love comedies and Disney movies.

*he takes a step back when she starts to dance. he hadn’t expected it. but he smiles as he watches her, having only seen people dance on tv it’s very different in person*
i’ll keep it secret for you, i promise.
m-me? oh. um.
*well. she danced for him… he stands there awkward before he begins to slowly sway at first, getting a beat in his head and begins to move to music he can only hear. he isn’t great, but he isn’t awful either. he moves his arms, as well as his feet, and his head to the song in his head before he stops. his face is purple.*
i’m not very good.
*She smiles, enjoying the fact that he had done it* Well dancing is about expressing the music – not about being good.
Though I guess that means I don’t really need to learn street dancing after all with that thought. *Giggles nervously*
Okay so that includes music then for the party if you want to. Maybe some party games as well. Though I think I believe you mentioned watching Disney movies together? *winks at him playfully*
i guess that’s true…
*oh his face goes purple at her mentioning the disney movies. he thought he’d remain anonymous to her over that, but oh gosh. nope. she knows that now. he smiles faintly*
…i’m… pretty good with movie watching… hah.. yeah…. disney or, or anything really… what about you?
…y-you don’t have to do that katelynn…! that, that’s so nice of you…
dancing? …i… i dance in my apartment…? *smiles weakly, nervously* do you dance?
*Standing up, she decides to show him instead of just telling him. Standing up on her tippy-toes, she does a sort of plait before it changes into a break dancing move*
*She giggles; dancing always making her feel extremely happy* I do that too – dance in my apartment I mean. I’m trying to learn how to break dance. No one knows about it…except you now.
What dancing do you do?
*he takes a step back when she starts to dance. he hadn’t expected it. but he smiles as he watches her, having only seen people dance on tv it’s very different in person*
i’ll keep it secret for you, i promise.

i’m not very good.
