[Matt's finally asked Jael out! Most of the girls Matt's dated have been shallow and vapid. So this is actually a pretty big step for him, cause he actually wants to get to know Jael better, as opposed to getting into her pants and taking off afterward. So he wants this evening to be perfect, so Jael will want to go out with him again. So...]

Hey, Joe, could you do something for me?

[Sorry broski, he can't cook.]

So what's your favorite food?

Hard to say. Now that I'm here, there are so many new things to try.

What's yours?

Skittles

[No lie, Aoife. He'd be a giant skittle if he could.]

[Aoife stopped taking notice of confectionery sometime around 1824]

Where are you from?

[You and your text, Aoife cannot tell if she's talking to a human or a machine or some sort of other creature entirely.]

[It takes Matt a moment to reply. He's careful about how he's worded this.]

A place called Burim Pax. It's 2210 and there are no borders. It's just one big country.

I've got a date on Wednesday. Would you mind cooking for me?

[He's from the foooture. Locking ain't no thang. And he sounds downright excited. This is probably the most emotion he's shown to anyone ever.]

[There's a small pause and then Joe cracks the hell up laughing. Give him a moment to get himself back under control. When he speaks again, Joe sounds pretty darn proud.]

Oh a date huh? You took my advice then did ya?

[Another chuckle.]

I'll do it if ya tell me who it is.

[Matt laughs along with Joe. He's come to expect it now. But it doesn't bother him. Joe's like his big bro or something. So teasing's to be expected.]

It's Jael. I'd really appreciate it.

[Long pause. There's a flick of a lighter. Someone's having a cigarette while he mulls this over.]

Jael.

[HRMM.]

Fish be da puhfect meal mon. Too bad none of it actually been tastin' like fish.

[madteos]

Did you eat a lot of fish in your world?

[That was a staple in Burim Pax.]

[pimp-hat.livejournal.com]

Mon I eat a lot of fish in any world.

[madteos]

[Matt cracks a small smile.]

It's okay, I guess. Not my favorite.

[pimp-hat.livejournal.com]

Just okay?

[Gasp!]

Sometin' gotta be wrong wid joor tastebuds mon.

[madteos]

We didn't have a lot of selection where I'm from. Between fish and chicken, I ate chicken more.
