Day 205 | Action, open
[ Dirk is stuck in the gardens in Sector 4 working for most of the day. He's not really sure what he's doing, honestly, because what are plants and how do they work?? But there he is, covered in dirt. There's also a nasty bruise on one cheek -- his other injuries are, thankfully, covered by his clothing.

Like, theoretically he could go home and barricade himself in a closet, but he's got seven days to complete 60 hours of community service and he doesn't want to see what happens if he fails.

He'll get pretty twitchy if anyone comes up to him. He's already got stuck kissing two people today, and neither of them are his boyfriend. Man, fuck Marina. ]

	Er, okay. I wasn't aware that was a hobby of yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not. It's a punishment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You, too? [A chuckle.] The wardens don't like us very much, do they? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-02-05 03:52 am UTC (link)
	They sure don't. Come frolick in the dirt with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-02-05 04:31 am UTC (link)
	Right o! A friend in need is a friend indeed! [Jake hops into the dirt patch Dirk is in and just. Kind of stares. Yeah what the fuck is gardening.] So... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-02-05 04:33 am UTC (link)
	So. [ Dirk folds his arms over his chest. ] You're the one who grew up in a fuckin' nature preserve, bro. I don't even know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-02-05 05:40 am UTC (link)
	Er, well I always seemed to have more pumpkins appearing than I ever knew what to do with, but. I'll take a stab at it! [And then Jake kneels down to dig some holes.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-02-05 05:42 am UTC (link)
	Good. [ ...except what's that? He got so distracted talking to Jake that he didn't even notice that there was yet another fucking mistletoe robot above them until he looked up. God damn it. He reaches out to one side. Yep. There's a force field. ] Hey, Jake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-02-05 06:14 am UTC (link)
	[Jake is oblivious, happily digging his holes.] Yupperoo, Dirk? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-02-05 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	[ The force field contracts, and the robot above them says, Kiss! ] Slight problem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-02-05 10:46 pm UTC (link)
	[Jake still isn't paying attention. In fact, he takes off his communicator and sets it on the ground. He doesn't always like to wear the durned thing, and he never really needs to when he's alone with Dirk anyway.] And? Get with the program, mister! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-02-05 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	[ Dirk raises an eyebrow. How fucking obtuse does a guy have to BE? ] Reach out to your side, Jake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-02-05 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	Huh? [Jake does so- and having not expected to feel anything, he just sort of flings his arm out.] Ow! Holy moley, what the fuck is that? [Finally concerned, he stands up and presses his hands to the barrier.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-02-05 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	[ Sighing, Dirk gets to his feet as well. The barrier contracts again, the bot telling them to kiss again. Well, at least it won't be so bad this time. Then he points upward at the robot above them. ] It's that. Apparently they're going around today. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-02-05 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	[this robot looks a little different from the ones he occasionally glimpses doing maintenance around the dome. The barrier contracts once more, and he takes a large step toward Dirk. He steps in between Dirk and the robot.] Be on guard, Dirk! That rascal's attempting to trap us both-- perhaps even slowly crush us to our death in this trap!!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-02-05 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	[ Frowning, Dirk removes his headset long enough to listen to its order without it. He can't understand that. Oh, Jesus. Jake you doofus. Jake you idiot. With their bodies less than an inch apart, Dirk gets an idea. Jake really needs to be more attentive, and he'll get something out of this too. ] It's pretty strong. I don't know if we can break free, Jake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

You nefarious cur!!! [Jake turns around in the barrier to lean his back against it, trying to unsettle it with brute strength except that clearly isn't going to work. In fact, when the barrier shrinks again, it just makes it so that he can't turn around with his chest up against Dirk's.]

This won't be the last of us, do you hear me!!!! Dirk, quick, we must think of a way to escape this!!

	[ Awwww yeah. He's going to wait to say anything until it gets uncomfortable. And it is so not uncomfortable right now. He leans into Jake, hands resting on his chest. ] For once I'm lacking in ideas, bro. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-02-05 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	Kick your coolguy act in the caboose for a second, Strider, we're in jeopardy here for pete's sake!!! [A grunt as they're shoved even closer, though he still has room to squish himself back and put a little space between them if he wanted.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-02-05 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	[ Dirk doesn't want that. He's right up in Jake's personal space. ] At least we're in this together. [ He kind of "accidentally" grinds his hips forward... ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-02-05 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	[Jake felt that. And he flusters because wow they're...........really close.............] I don't know about you, Dirk, but I intend to come out of this situation alive and kicking! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-02-05 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	That's the spirit. [ They're pressed closer together, and Dirk decides it's about time to put an end to this. ] Wait. Look up, doesn't it look like there's mistletoe dangling off it? I think I heard about these things somewhere before. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	skulltop 2013-02-06 12:02 am UTC (link)
	[Huff.] Is this really the time to entertain such ideas, Dirk? As much as I'd like to respect the holiday tradition, we're in a bit of a pickle!! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	smuppeteer 2013-02-06 12:03 am UTC (link)
	If you have a better idea... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
