Harry Potter and the Oedipal Complex Jokes.

[thebreakingwave]

NAME: Harry Potter
Gender: Male
Preferences: ...er, look, it's not that I don't appreciate the effort and all, and I am interested in people, regardless of gender or species, but I just don't think this is a good idea for a whole host of reasons. How about we just go get a snack instead?

i love every title for these you make up

[ziggyzoggy]

Hey. [Vol'jin lifts a hand as he slides into the seat across from Harry. Seems someone got into the fruit-and-cheese portion of the catering table. He puts the plate between them.]

How's ya friend?

Re: i love every title for these you make up

[thebreakingwave]

[Aww, yiss. Snacks. Harry is going to help himself to some grapes. Thanks, Vol'jin!]

She's doing well. Got freed, or so I've been told. How're you?

[ziggyzoggy]

[Feel free, it's why he brought them. Eat, eat, you're so skinny. That meshuggah family of yours don't feed you enough.]

I abide. [He glances over his shoulder at the rest of the room.] Met lots of interesting people.

Didya know there be a spaceman here?

[thebreakingwave]

[omg, I lost it at the thought of Vol'jin saying 'meshuga'. I'd suggest tiger and matzo ball soup, but I don't think tiger is kosher. ANYWAY...]

Really? I shouldn't be surprised that there's aliens, but I suppose we'd both count under that as well.

[ziggyzoggy]

[For some reason I channel Jewish grandmothers sometimes. Which makes no sense, since I don't have one. Cultural osmosis? No, tiger is very definitely not kosher. If his face is any indication, he's never thought about it that was before. He picks up a slice of kiwi and chews on both things for a moment.]

Broad definition. [He's never been an alien before.]

[thebreakingwave]

[ It's cool. I've got a heap of Jewish grannies and aunts. I can loan you one. ]

I don't really feel much like an alien, but this isn't my planet so I suppose I am. I did sort of hope that it would involve, I don't know more ray guns and flashing lights.

[avisionofwar]

Snacking, you said?

[ Hopeful look. ]

[thebreakingwave]

Of course!

[ Harry has managed to either beg, borrow, steal, or provide his own bowl of nibbly snacks. He's content to eat cheese, fruit, and crackers while the various folks try out their dates. ]

Please, dig in.

[gordianknots]

So, popcorn and people watching because this can totally go well?

[thebreakingwave]

[ Harry slides over the bowl and settles in for some entertainment. ]

Nothing can go wrong with this plan.

[gordianknots]

[omnomnom]

This plan? Not at all. Everyone else? Good lord.

[thebreakingwave]

I understand the whys and wherefores, but I don't know, it's all ...not really my thing? I think?

[..shrug?]

Gave it a try, but I never really had much time for it.

[gordianknots]

I can understand that. I'm rubbish at the whole thing myself back home. Terrible at the whole work-personal life balance.

[thebreakingwave]

You're supposed to have a balance?

[Huh. What a novel concept.]

[gordianknots]

Apparently yes. I mean, I understand why it's important, but I'm just bad at it.

[thebreakingwave]

I think that a place like this doesn't really encourage nice, leisurely relationships.

[gordianknots]

There is also that. I am not sure that there's really good venues for dates either.

[thebreakingwave]

I'm sure you could ask for advice as a boon.

[gordianknots]

I doubt it'd be good advice.

[thebreakingwave]

What, you don't have the utmost and unshakable faith in the good advice and intentions of our leaders?

[gordianknots]

Not a single ounce of it.

[thebreakingwave]

I am shocked. Shocked, and dare I say it, a little disappointed.

I think it's over between us.

[sangilak]

[ oh. this is awkward. ]

[thebreakingwave]

...right then. Now what?
