Tom sat on the front steps, contemplating the lawn. Someone needed to mow it, but he wasn't sure if they had a mower.

He heard the door open behind him and glanced over his shoulder. A girl he's seen around but never spoken to. "Do you think Ganesh could build a lawn-mowing robot?" he asked with a grin.

	"Both? It depends on the time. I try to stay awake, but Andy doesn't seem to really care." Char reached past him to press a finger against the touch screen, starting up a different song. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tom wandered a little ways away, poking through the various toys on the shelves. "If Andy gets high, do you feel it? Or, like, if one of them gets drunk, do you end up with the hangover if you wake up next? That would have to be annoying. Especially since it would mean that they wouldn't have worry about not drinking too much, because they wouldn't have to be the one to deal with the aftermath."

He turned back towards her, grinning. "Bubbles!" He held up a brightly colored plastic bottle.

"We share one body, so yeah, things just kind of pass along. I pull a muscle, the next person knows about it. Andy gets drunk, the next one has the hangover, although we seem to have developed a good tolerance for most things." She shrugged, looking over the songs, poking at one after another for a brief clip of sound. "The advantage is that 3 out of 4 days, the body's a boy, so some things seem to have just shut down. And anything with emotional context pretty much sticks to the person, like, Mickey doesn't get hot over Alec, which would pretty much be about the worst thing that could happen I think."

She turned, grinning brightly back. "Do they have wands? The really big ones, where you need to pour it out into a dish?"

	Tom turned back to the shelves, looking to see if they had what Char was looking for. "Hot for Alec?" He couldn't help the horrified note that his voice took on. "You're not, are you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He's cute," Char said, still smiling. "But he's totally not into girls at all, so what's the point? He's nicer than he looks, and has this amazingly creative mind. Have you taken the time to actually talk to him?" She looked at him, because she had the feeling most people in the house didn't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I haven't," Tom admitted. "But all he's really done is insult most people, and while I know I'm not perfect, I don't really need to have my flaws pointed out to me in the nastiest way he can come up with." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He's never insulted me, and I've never been rude to him," Char said. "I don't know why it's different, but I don't think it's because of Jimmy. We've just treated each other well." (Reply to this) (Parent)
