Reading Back On This As I Edit It I Realized That Logan And Roman Sound Like Chastising Mothers - Tumblr Posts
Logan: And to conclude the chore list- Patton and Virgil are on yard duty.
* In unison *
Virgil: Ugh, nature.
Patton: Yay, nature!
Roman: Alright everyone, off to your battle stations! * flourishes a broom like a sword and runs off to clean *
~ later on in the yard ~
Virgil: These sticks are too...sticky.
Patton: C'mon, Virgie, we only have a few more left in the front yard to pick up!
Virgil: Yeah, but then we still have the backyard. Stupid backyard. I hate everything right now.
Virgil: * looks over shoulder at some of the wild spring flowers that are growing *
Virgil: Except for those little guys. They're pretty cool, I guess.
Patton: Oooh, pretty! * gasps * Virgil, let's pick some to bring inside. We can put some in a vase- it'll be SCENTsational.
Patton: * giggles at pun * How about it, kiddo?
Virgil: * looks down at sticks in his arms before abruptly throwing them down half-hazardly * Sure, why not? Anything to get out of chores, Pat.
~ and yet even later on in the yard ~
Logan: * walking outside to inspect the yard, only to stop dead in his tracks *
Patton: * Is wearing a flower crown and placing a necklace of flowers around Virgil's neck as they sit in a patch of wild flowers together *
Virgil: * looks over at Logan * Sup, dude?
Logan: Wha-what do you mean "Sup, dude?"??? * finger quoting frantically * "What is up" is that this yard does not appear to be finished at all. Roman and I have both completed- and on my part, excelled- at our assigned tasks.
Roman: * leaning out the door with flowery gloves and bandana still on * Did someone say excellent? Because I certainly am!
Roman: * notices what's going on * Oh my. * laughs * Well doesn't this appear to be straight out of a story book? But this kingdom doesn't run itself, you know. We all need to be doing our part, you two!
Logan: * shaking his head * No, no. It is my own error. I should have known better than to pair these two up when it concerns something serious.
Patton and Virgil: * now both have on a flower crown and lei, blissfully having gone back to ignoring the other two *
Logan: Honestly, they are like children on a play date.
