Better Be Speed [Death]

Ahh, these snow-cones are so great. I'm glad I got in line earlier. It's hot out, and some chilling refreshments are always nice. .....Now that I think about it, why did I buy two? These snow-cones..... are too much for me. I wonder what I should do with it. Hmm? There seems to be a lady in line who is particularly angry about the heat and a lack of snow-cone. Hmmm, I guess I'll give it to her, the others in line seem to be okay with the heat currently. "Excuse me lady, were you interested in a snow cone? I bought an extra for some reason." I say holding the snow cone out to her in an offering sort of gesture. Good manners are always important in first impressions with strangers. Who knows, maybe I could get a new friend?

Looks like she seems to be happy with my little snow cone gift. Guess I was right with my guess, though it wasn't really much of a guess and more like an observation. This lady seems to have a bit of a musical voice. Interesting, and nice to hear. She also seems to have hated waiting in the line, two for two. ....what is with the little 'Kee Kee Kee' at the end? Is she some sort of stereotypical witch or some shit? "No problem, it would just be a waste to let extra frozen goods melt." I say offhandedly/shruggingly or whatever. She seems to be energetic and cheerful. I like that in a person, means a good outlook on life. ....wut. She thinks I'm a secret admirer? Isn't that like borderline stalker territory? Though I admit she does look attractive, I am not the person to let any sort of attraction get in the way of my good manners. "Oh no, no I am not any sort of secret admirer. It just seemed that you were the one in the most anguish with a lack of ice cream." I say while looking at the envious glances of the nearby people. *Sigh* I only had one extra. I start relishing the taste of the snow cone. Delicious.

Hmm, It seems that the lady is a bit too eccentric. Maybe I should be changing the way I am interacting with her? Wild and lose people tend to have a disdain for any sort of formality in their encounters with others. "No prob." I say taking a more casual route in the conversation. Hopefully this will work. "Yeah, I can certainly tell. I was lucky enough to get here earlier than the rest of this large line. Still took a while to get to the stand though." I say cheerfully with a smile. Smiling is contagious, and so is happiness. So if you are happy, and nice. The other people around you are also likely to be happy and nice. Unless they are in a foul mood or some bad events happened to them.... My face slightly darkens, but then returns to the normal cheeriness. I can't let stuff like that weigh me down. And besides, I need to maintain the same image as before. "Yeah, sometimes lines are crazy. There was this one time when I was a little kid when I had to wait in a line for hours. That totally sucked." I say openly to this lady.

Hmm? Damnit. Looks like this woman noticed my brief moment of sorrow. I'll have to see that she doesn't think about it. I continue devouring the snow cone with the woman..... I just realized I'm eating ice cream with a woman who I just randomly gave ice cream to and I don't know her name yet.... DAMNIT. That is one thing I am usually very aware about. Hmm, she is making some remark about how her luck is currently bad today. But what is with the wheel part of it? Does she like travelling? Hmm, the more you think, the less you know, so I might ask her that sometime. "It was in one of the old amusement parks from back then. I believe it was....... Disneyland. Heh, seems that every kid used to go there. And since every kid went there, the lines were superbly packed." I say somberly. Still hard to think that all that wonder is now gone. Shit, I probably shouldn't have said anything about that. Many people lost close friends and relatives in the Great Divide. Too sore of a subject to bring up. "But anyway, enough of that. I don't think I got your name. Mine is Tatsui, what's yours?"

Phew, looks like she didn't take offense by it, other than it being long and obnoxious, the normal offense. "I know right? But kids love to have excitement in their lives, even if it only lasts a minute or so." So she considers herself somewhat of a killjoy? Gets her through life? ......People don't say that unless they have been through some shit. *Sigh* Facades to deal with reality. We have so many and discard so many, that we lose track of who we really are. I just hope that I haven't lost track with who I really am. But then again, if I did, I wouldn't know it. Mmm, this snow cone is good..... and it's gone. Great. Whatever, I enjoyed it to it's fullest potential. ........what. She says her name is the Wandering Parlor Ghost. I stare at her in disbelief for a bit. "Wait, your THE Wandering Parlor Ghost? Holy shit. Never thought I would meet a living legend." Wow, this is honestly incredible to meet someone like her. I smile brightly.... then take a thinking face. "Insufferable pig?" I say questioningly in confusion. What do nasty swine have to do with not knowing someone, who is albeit a local legend. Whatever.

Looks like she doesn't really care about amusement parks. Then again, neither do I. But that example was a good way to relate to her. Heh, I don't know if age would have anything to do with thrilling enjoyments. But then again, the rides I went on were the little kiddy ones. Couldn't go on anything more than that because I wasn't grown enough. If I remember there were even rides where you were pulled up high into the sky.... and then plummeted to the ground, bouncing before you hit it and bouncing again and again until you stop. I ride like that might have interested the Parlor Ghost, but whatever. Looks like she is relieved that I have heard about her. "I don't know what it feels like, because you aren't a real ghost. But you must be pretty scary or sneaky to get a name like that." I say grinning. Seriously, is that her real name or what? "Oh, ok." She looks really pissed about this man. What did he do to offend her? Part of it seems to be not knowing about her at all, but it must be more than that to offend her so.

Oh, frick. Looks like I did offend her this time. Damnit what the hell should I do now? Hmm? Now she is grinning at me.... darkly. Oh shit. I definently shouldn't have said she wasn't a real ghost. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you." I say shame-faced. Damnit. Why the hell did I have to say that? She clearly takes pride in her name. So why did I have to say she wasn't a real ghost and ruin her parade? *Sigh* "Yeah, I guess they aren't." I say lamely. I just hope I can mend fences a bit about that.
