Outside Battle of the Bands Cabin [Thursday afternoon]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

It would be a shame to waste the fact that finally, it was warm and sunny out again. So of course Sookie was stretched out on a towel near her cabin, sunglasses and bikini on, drink and phone within reach.

She was still sort of waiting for something to go wrong -- a raincloud to appear exclusively above her head, or a cowboy would try to lasso her and carry her off, or something. But in the meantime, tanning and sending texts was her priority, because she only had so much time left to do that on-island.

[so desperately open. feel free to mod that she texted you, too!]

Freddie was out wandering with his PearPad, using an app that would help him identify local fauna and wildlife.

Yes, he was nerd central, sometimes.

He thankfully didn't literally trip over Sookie, but he did stop when he wandered near her.

"Beautiful day, isn't it?" he greeted.

"Finally," Sookie sighed, looking up from her own phone. "Finally, finally a nice day. We suck for burying our noses in gadgets when it's this nice out, for that matter," she added a little ruefully.

"Well how else am I supposed to know what a chipmunk is?" Freddie joked, holding up his pear-shaped tablet to show off a picture of an adorable chipmunk. "But you're right. But I'm not exactly the sun-tanning type, either. Not that you get much of a chance to do that in Seattle, actually."

"But y'all have the Space Needle. Not that I know what that thing's for, but I figured you guys traded nice weather to have it or something," Sookie drawled.

That got a chuckle out of Freddie. "It's pretty cool," Freddie admitted. "But it doesn't actually take you into space or anything. Which is a complete bummer, if you ask me."

"It's okay, if that was your goal you made it to the right place already," Sookie replied. "Don't need a needle when you've got this stupid island."

"No kidding," Freddie said. "You know, I'd seen some crazy things before. Ghost-story telling bras, Magical Malika, but the way this island keeps moving from time and place to time and place, it just blows my mind. It almost makes coming here worth it all."

"Ghost-story telling bras," Sookie repeated. "That's a completely new one, and you just touched on the tip of the Fandom island weirdness iceberg, honey. What the heck? Do you know panties that sing campfire songs, too?"

"Nope," Freddie said. "And even if I did, I'm sure Sam wouldn't want it on the show. She really doesn't like that word."

"Campfire?" Sookie teased, feigning obliviousness.

"Well, if she doesn't like campfire, she's never made it obvious," Freddie said. "But no, she doesn't like... you know. That other word."

Freddie was in no way going to be able to say 'panties' to a pretty girl in a bikini.

"Songs?" Sookie replied.

She was just being a pain in the butt, and she knew it.

Freddie made a face. "You're trying to get me to say it, aren't you?" he said, a little sadness in his voice.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"I just wanted to see how long it'd take," she said, giggling. "It's okay. I'm sure it's weirder to say it when you don't wear 'em, too. I'm Sookie, by the way."

"Freddie," he finally introduced. "And yeah. It's about the same feeling I get when I have to talk about the Build-a-Bra store. Which comes up waaaay too often when you spend a lot of your time hanging out with two girls."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"I don't even want to know what goes into custom-building your own bra," Sookie decided. "Though now I want to drag my boyfriend through one just to judge the different shades of red he'd blush."

Freddie chuckled. "Well, I don't think they'll have any nearby here," he said. "I don't think they were established yet. Not a lot of call for them in the old west."
