You're as cold as ice...

Fade in:

So once again, Todd has set up his interview table in the same place and style as the day before. Because he is an American boy, and he has been taught that persistance is a virtue, blah blah blah. Anyway, this time he also has provided a little dish of Dum-Dum lolipops and is currently sucking on one himself, an orange-flavored one. He also has a glass of orange juice, and is still reading The Shining. Rather than a notebook, he has a clipboard, so he looks more professional. But his demeanor is still very California casual, which is probably why he'd get elected student body president if he ever decided to run.




*Please don't make Todd's player cry. It isn't nice.

*Fades in behind the other boy, and hovers stealthy just behind him. He speaks in a deep, echo-y whisper*

Todd. Todd-y. Hey, Todd Nice. It's me: the voice in your head.

Kill 'em. Kill 'em all.

*He grins, pleased with his ruse.

Todd doesn't even look up from his book. He grins cheekily to himself.

"Evening, Paul. Having a good death today?"

[weallscream.livejournal.com]

*Hisses, directly into Todd's ear*

Oh, yesssssssssss.

[toddbaby.livejournal.com]

Todd raises his eyebrows, replying cheerfully. "Oh, good. Dum-Dum?" He says the last sarcastically, lifting the bowl up towards Paul without turning around.

[weallscream.livejournal.com]

Bad for your teeeeeeeeth.

*He chomps his fangs, also directly into Todd's ear.*

[toddbaby.livejournal.com]

Todd hastily puts the bowl down and tries batting Paul away, as if he were an insect. "Gaaaah. Fucking mosquitos." He shakes his golden head and chuckles to himself.

[weallscream.livejournal.com]

*Looks around, presumably for copulating insects*

Where?

Do they do it in the air?

[toddbaby.livejournal.com]

"Apparently." Todd finally sets his bowl aside, and sighs the way a parent might indulging an obnoxious - but somehow oddly lovable - child. He turns his head over his shoulder and tsks as he shakes his head at Paul, though he's still grinning. For a change.

*Thom looks curious, and wanders over with an evil glint in his eyes.*

[toddbaby.livejournal.com]

Todd's eyes peer up from The Shining, and he smiles winningly at Thom, although he says nothing yet. Takes a lick off his lolly.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

Hello. I'm -- Thom. Who are you?

[toddbaby.livejournal.com]

Todd puts the book down and extends his hand (for a shake, presumably). "Hiya Thom. I'm Todd Bowden. Nice to meet you." He continues to smile that winning smile.

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

*Thom smiles brightly. It is not a very Thom sort of smile, but Todd wouldn't know that.*

Pleasure to meet you, Todd. What are you doing?

[toddbaby.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Does he shake Todd's hand? :]

[giftedthom.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Oh. Er. Yes.]

[toddbaby.livejournal.com]

[OOC: :gryns:]

Todd shakes his hand firmly, then withdraws it to indicate the sign. "I'm conducting interviews, Thom. Interested?"

[glorious-figure.livejournal.com]

*notices the candy next to the boy and smiles broadly* Hello again. Let's hear you sing!


[Ooc: Ahhh, I am watching Apt. Pupil as we speak. This is odd.]

[toddbaby.livejournal.com]

Todd looks up and :blinks:. "Um....what?" he asks, with polite disbelief, grinning as always.

[OOC: OH GOD, WHY?? Er, I mean :} ...actually, that's a cool coincidence (?). I just have...issues with the movie. Hence no Brad Renfro icons for me, like, ever...]

[glorious-figure.livejournal.com]

It's me, Mr B. Natural. Sing for me! I bet you have a lovely voice, sweet boy like you.


[Ooc: Very much a coincidence. I am afeared. *laughs* But yeah, this is the first time I've seen the movie and I have to say I like the book better. You inspired me to rent it though. Be proud!]

[OOC: ::laughing hysterically::]

[toddbaby.livejournal.com]

Todd...just...blinks. "Wait a...second. You mean you're that...that sprite from the other day? The Mary Martin lookalike?"

For a rare instant, Todd actually looks thunderstruck.

Re: [OOC: ::laughing hysterically::]

[glorious-figure.livejournal.com]

You got it! Surprised to see me like this? I know it's a change, but that doesn't mean I can shirk off. There are far too many children in need!

[toddbaby.livejournal.com]

Todd closes his foolishly gaping mouth, replacing it with his usual smile, though it's not as bright as it often is. "Uh...sure, Mr. B. It's good to see you still have your same...spirits."

Jesus fucking CHRIST.

[glorious-figure.livejournal.com]

Thanks, it's great to see you too Todd! Have you found any new instruments you want to try? A boy like you doesn't need encouraging, I'm sure, but I like to make sure.

[toddbaby.livejournal.com]

Todd's still trying to recover from the absurdity of this. "Um...er...well, I wouldn't mind learning the guitar..." His eyes have kind of glazed over, and his voice sounds slightly out to lunch.

[toddbaby.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Forgot to add this. :} Hey, I am very flattered that you rented it because of me, despite its flaws. I mean, it does have its moments...it just changes way too much about Todd for my taste.

That's not to say I don't have it on DVD, own the soundtrack AND have a huge poster of it hanging in my room though. :gryns:]
