twenty-second observation; text - locked from Yuma

[soulbonder]

i know this is quite possibly short notice
but yumas birthday is very very soon

i would like to do something special for him
because he always does so much for me and very little for himself

i think being with many of his friends at the same time would be good too

Yeah cant say i know how the whole birthday thing works either i only ever made merry about my own and my grandmas. :(
However!! I do know one thing. Cake is a requirement or shall ye be smited.

[soulbonder]

really
yuma didnt have cake last year

[adventureboner]

Perhaps you need some more education in earthly customs then.
Weve reached this sort of dilemma on quite a few occasions and im afraid i cannot allow your ignorance to continue like this!!!
How about this i cant cook worth a lick (jane tried and ill tell you it looked like the french cavalry just ran through when i was finished!!!) and i cant say i know a soul in the city who cane so lets mosey on over to market and nab us a frosty delight!

[soulbonder]

[adventureboner]

Yessir so long as youre not too tied up!

[soulbonder]

im not tied up at all jake

[adventureboner]

Great then ill meet you on the corner outside the supermarket!!
Uh the one on the right not the left.
See you pal!

((misunderstands your misunderstanding.))

[soulbonder]

wait which supermarket

[adventureboner]

((AND ONLY AFTER TWENTY MINUTES Jake realizes Astral is very late and oh there's a text oops.))

Oh! Ralphs alright?

[soulbonder]

[aw man but he's watching his soaps now. thirty minutes later:] which ralphs

[adventureboner]

Cant say i know of another?

[soulbonder]

[adventureboner]

Oh well shoot where the dickens did those all come from?
Alright uh i think that left one there is the ralphs your looking for.

[soulbonder]

could you perhaps give me an address

[adventureboner]

The far one!! You know!!
Uh... geez lets look..
Richmond?

[soulbonder]

a street address!!!!!!!

[adventureboner]

Thats the street swear it!
Nevermind im dreadful about the whole location what not about this concrete jungle why dont you just pick a spot?

((Jungle boy trying to find street addresses, CLEARLY not a good idea.))

[soulbonder]

[a few seconds later, he sends jake the address to one.] i shall see you shortly

[adventureboner]

Cheers mate!

((Switch to action i take? ANYWHO, jake's just taking a taxi, fuck that, besides he's never been in one before, so experiences!!!))

ACTION!

[soulbonder]

[he's awkwardly futzing around the front of ralphs, looking around for any sign of jake. man, it's really awkward, he can't loiter here. there's a no loitering sign. hopefully, when he arrives they can go inside and people will stop looking at him like he's weird.

why did it have to be a grocery store anyway? what was wrong with a bakery...?]

Re: ACTION!

[adventureboner]

((Fortunately, Jake was smart enough to at LEAST get a taxi from wherever the hell he was. So it's pretty obvious when the dark, young man steps out of the cab he looks around--Welp! Good that Astral isn't too hard to spot in a crowd (nor is jake), so he waves.))

Astral, hey!!!

[soulbonder]

Hello, Jake. [He smiles politely, trying to hide his frustration over this whole silly affair.] Shall we go inside?

[adventureboner]

Hehe, unless you'd rather stand around out here for a spell.

[soulbonder]

I've stood around long enough. [he's already heading inside. wow, what's the rush?]

[adventureboner]

Oh geez. ((Woops! Someone's upset. BUT!!! JAKE HAS THE UPPER HAND!!! Now that he knows when someone is upset, he has a chance to smooooooooooooth things over. Here comes mr. slick.))

Right behind you buddy!! ((great start!!!)) Anywho, what sort of cake would you suppose he'd fancy?
