Shooting the Shit at Shooting Star
Who: Sin and Catherine
Where: Shooting Star Comics
When: May 26, Afternoon
Catherine wanted to go somewhere and relax for a little while. Since none of the clubs where open yet, this meant that she had to go somewhere else. She had just finished with her training session with Jeremy, and eventually decided to walk to Shooting Star Comics and hang out there for a little while. She enjoyed comics, plus they had a few tables in the back that they let people sit at. After giving a quick wave to Cassie when she walked inside, she browsed the racks, grabbed the first thing that grabbed her attention, and headed to the back tables, and sat down at one to chill and read for a bit.
Plop! That was the sound as a couple of Archie comics were dropped in front of her by, well, the girl that had more or less become known as Catherine's unofficial sidekick, Cynthia Stone. The girl's hair was (shockingly) a normal, pretty blonde today, and her outfit a more subdued bluejeans-and-shirt combo, her shirt of choice today an old-school Twisted Sister tee (cos we're not gonna take it anymore, see...). "Dude. All we need to learn in life is RIGHT IN THE PAGES OF ARCHIE."
Catherine, having not grown up in America, actually didn't know what Archie comics were. "What comic is that?" she asked, leaning over to peer at them.
"DUDE! It's motherpluckin' ARCHIE! Look. All we need to know." She opened one and pointed. "There's Reggie, who's basically Ben without all the women. Then there's Archie, who's like a harmless, redheaded Ash, because he's teaching us through Betty and Veronica that it really ISN'T possible to balance two chicks at once..."
"So a bag of douche werewolf and warlock?" Catherine asked, pointing to Reggie and Archie respectively. And her English insults still sucked.
"Nonono. I mean they're like metaphors for the people we know. I'm basically Jughead, only without the hamburger love and the penis." At least Catherine was from Russia. Sin? And this language she spoke? NO IDEA what her excuse was.
Now Catherine looked really confused at Sin. "And whats a Jughead?" she asked her.
Sin just burst out laughing there. "Him! The jackhole with the crown! And this dude, Mr. Weatherby? He's like... Fat Giles."
"I'm sure that Mr. Giles would love to hear that," Catherine said, looking down at who Sin was pointing to.
"Seriously. Archie books are awesome!" Sin laughed, sitting down with a wry smirk. "So! How's the apparently only other straight girl I know today?"
"I take your word for it," Catherine said, still not quite understanding the comics themselves. "I'm doing good, actually. How are you doing lately, Sin?"
"Just fab. Things are good with me and Puff, so..." She shrugged and sighed. "Oh, by the way, my mom's gay."
Catherine blinked at the last part. "Really? I actually never would have guessed." Didn't bother her. She just didn't know.
"Isn't that great? No wonder I never had a dad. Mom don't drive stick. Woo-hoo." Was Sin a bit embarrassed? Wait till THIS. "Oh yeah, ya know who Ma's shtuppin'? Drill Sergeant Delallo. AWESOME."
Catherine's eyes widened when she said that. "Sergeant Delallo? Really?" Yeah, Delallo was well known as that in the Slayer circles. "Were no other lesbians available?" Now, Delallo being a lesbian? That was NO shocker.
"Yeah, well. Imagine my repulsion seeing them make googly eyes at each other. It's like watching a pitbull flirt with a poodle." Thud? Yep. Thud. That was the sound of Sin's forehead thunking down on the table.
If she wasn't wanting to be a supporting friend, Catherine would giggle at that statement. She patted Sin's shoulder. "It can't be that bad. At least she's making your mother happy, right?"
"Ew ew EWWWW. I realllllllly don't wanna think about HOW she makes her happy, ok? Or do I gotta make you think about what Bubblegum-Head probably does with The Wicked Witch in HER spare time?" Oh my. Sin shoots and scores.
Catherine shook her head. "I didn't mean THAT pervert!" she pointed out. "I meant emotionally. Oh, and thank you for that image. I was having fun by just kissing her father in front of her and you have to do THAT?"
Sin just gave a snarky little grin there, triumphant. "So, I really DO think you and I are the last two completely hetero women alive. Go us." She shook her head and gave a LOUD sigh. "So, how ARE things with you and Wolfy?"
"At least in LA," Catherine agreed. Catherine just didn't GET it. She had no attraction to women, it seemed. Honestly, though, she didn't have much attraction to anyone outside Brandon, so there. Speaking of..."Going good. Going very very good. Living together is actually working really well."
"The four of us gotta do something sometime. It'd be hilarious: the klutz, the Bond Villain, the wolf, and the dragon." She blinked then, tilting her head to the left a bit with a snicker. "We REALLY are NOT normal people."
"I've got to start watching these Bond films." Not like you could find them easily in Russia for OBVIOUS reasons. "And no, we're not, but then we'd be boring."
"I'd start calling you guys Boris and Natasha, but that would make me and Tierce Rocky and Bullwinkle, which disturbs me on far too many levels to be healthy." She motioned to her hair and outfit then, grinning. "You never mentioned if you like the look. I call it 'Sin decides to look normal'. Not sure if it works."
Which, once again, went RIGHT over her head. This is what happens when you grow up watching Cheburashka (a koala looking animal with an crocodile friend) instead of American cartoons. "I think you wear blond hair well," she said about the new look. "Any reason for the change?" While Catherine's hair was naturally brown, it was bleached under all the fun colors.
"Nah. Just figured at this point it'd look more weird for me to look NORMAL than anything. Plus I thought I'd surprise Tierce and try looking PRETTY for him for a change." And then without missing a beat, "and by the way, I think Brandon's sister tried to hit on me."
"It would be like ME looking normal," Catherine said to her. "And you are pretty, as one heterosexual girl to another." She laughed at the last thing she said. "I believe Neely hits on everyone. Don't be worried about it."
"Wanna get outta here and go hit Avarice? And knowing how clumsy I am, I *do* mean that literally." Sin snickered with a wry grin, comfortable with her ineptitude.
"Sounds like it would be fun," Catherine said with a grin. "Let's go throw some money in Cassie's tip jar and get going." Since at least Catherine wasn't buying anything today.
