the season to be jolly

[keyed_up]

All supernatural excitement aside, it's almost Christmas!

Soph shows up on Tony's doorstep with a bag of gingerbread house ingredients and a big smile. "Hi Jarvis! Where's Tony?" she asks.

Eventually Soph gets up and giggles her way to the dish cupboard and gets herself a glass of water, which serves to calm her down with only a little accidental inhalation and coughing.

[toblameforit]

Tony is also more or less recovered by that point.

"We're the greatest," he says beamily.

[keyed_up]

"The very best!" agrees Soph. "Like no one ever was."

[toblameforit]

He sporfles.

[keyed_up]

"If you could have Pokémon what ones would you want?"

[toblameforit]

"Probably a Charizard," he says. "Charizard is awesome."

[keyed_up]

"I'd want that fluffy sheep kind."

[toblameforit]

"Mareep? Yeah, they're pretty adorable."

[keyed_up]

"Yeah, those! They look soft."

[toblameforit]

"Very huggable. Unless they decide to electrocute you."

[keyed_up]

"Well, obviously if I had a Mareep it'd love me and never zap me," says Soph.

[toblameforit]

"Obviously. Because you are naturally lovable."

[keyed_up]

"I'd be like Pokémon catnip. Sheepnip? Mareepnip? I'd be very popular, is my point."

[toblameforit]

Tony giggles.

[keyed_up]

"All of the other Mareeps would be jealous of my one."

[toblameforit]

"...I'm just having this mental image," he says, "of you being surrounded by electric sheep who are, like, eating your hair and getting really stoned - oh my god, a Mareep is an electric sheep, I just got that."

[keyed_up]

"What's to get?" asks Soph.

[toblameforit]

"There's this famous sci-fi story called 'Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?'," he explains. "Blade Runner was based off it, have you seen Blade Runner?"

[keyed_up]

"I think I saw, like, one scene of it, but not the whole thing? We should watch it after we are done with Gingerbread Jarvis."

[toblameforit]

"Totally! How's the gingerbed coming?"

[keyed_up]

Soph lays the gum quilt on the bed. "All made nice and neat."

[toblameforit]

"D'awww."

[keyed_up]

She likes the bubblegum weaving effect and repeats it to make a little rug.

[toblameforit]

"You are the best at gingerbread interior decorating," Tony declares.

[keyed_up]

"I should major in it."
