Who: anyone
When: Day 27, evening
Where: Apartment Z
What: TABLEGASM

[So there's been drama, there's been hangovers, there's been nature violence and there's been the drudgery of daily life. But who cares about that. The door to Z is open and Noric is in the middle of the room, studying the ebony, fancy looking furniture item that just appeared there.]

...I'm almost loathe to admit this... but I kind of want to sleep on it, just because I can.

[Oh yes. Apartment Z got a table.]

[intellectum]

As long as I get to tease you about it.

[untempered]

Oh, you'd just be jealous.

[intellectum]

Jealous. Of a table.

[untempered]

Yes.

It's a very nice table.

[intellectum]

I do not get jealous over inanimate objects. It's like you being jealous over one of my books.

[untempered]

You get jealous over books. That's a terrible comparison to make.

[intellectum]

I do not.

[untempered]

I bought a book from the market once. You stared at me until I'd finished reading it.

[intellectum]

[firmly]

Nonsense.

[untempered]

And then you stole it as soon as I left the room.

[intellectum]

I did not steal. I only kept it away for safe-keeping.

[untempered]

[snorts]

You took it because you couldn't stand not knowing the contents any longer.

[intellectum]

If that's what you believe, then far be it for me to correct you.

[untempered]

I'm fairly sure you read every single one of the twelve books I owned.

[intellectum]

So?

[untempered]

So you get jealous of inanimate objects.

[intellectum]

Maybe I just wanted to read them and I was jealous of you.

[untempered]

[maybe you are jealous that I want to sleep on a table instead of on you]

Oh, certainly.

[intellectum]

[keep telling yourself that]

Hmph.

[untempered]

It's too low for chairs. [shrug] But, I hardly think we need them right now.

[intellectum]

[examining it now]

I think we have problems with our priorities.

[untempered]

Why? We have our toilet and shower now.

[intellectum]

Well, that was good.

And we have a table.

[untempered]

The opportunity presented itself, that's all.

And yes, we do.
