Hey, fellas!

Who's hankerin' for some shakes tonight?  Tara and I are celebratin' our six and a half month plus two days anniversary, and the keepers just dropped some cool, cool cash. Thought I'd hafta go skinny for a while there!  On our big day, too - haha, she'd be way frosted if I faded out the day of.  Righto, slurgs're on me tonight.  Just come meet us at the diner whenever - I'm thinkin' we'll see some flicks after and split around 11.

It'll be boss; come on and make the scene, fellas!

[action, Neutron Diner]
[As promised, Beast Boy and Tara are in the diner starting around dinnertime.  Tara gravitates immediately to her girlfriends, leaving a dark-haired, dark-skinned Beast Boy to watch her with admiration and slowly suck down his delicious, chocolate, totally non-vegan milkshake.

Yum.

The night is totally uneventful right up until the point Beast Boy sneezes and his arm transforms into a squid tentacle.

He fails to notice and goes right back to slurping his shake.]

[est33medpouncellor]

Look it's tanned and green-eyed Nepeta.

Somehow she finally got that cat-ear hat in the form of a sunhat with an odd sort of bow on the back, ohohohoh. Still has those ridiculous gloves.

And that curiosity. "Hey guys!~" Don't you two just look so cute together ahahahahaaa-

"Oh? Hey, are you getting ready for Halloween?" No more catpuns for this girl, nope.

Seriously though. Tentacles..?

[thebeastwithout]

Beast Boy, apparently, is one of those chain sneezers. Just as Nepeta begins to speak, he brings his tentacle up over his mouth again - his eyes widen as he spots the aberration, but the sneeze cannot be denied. The moment he's done, he jerks his hand away and stares down in shock at his hand, waving it slightly.

...Everything was perfectly normal...

"Huh...? H-Hey, Nepeta! What's buzzin'? What was that about Halloween? You cookin' up some plans?"

[est33medpouncellor]

"Of course~ That's my favorite holiday! I'm going to make a cat costume this year." She nods to herself, still smiling.

"Are you going to be an alien or something?" You do like those sorts of things right? It's as close to video games as her mind allows

[thebeastwithout]

"Hey, way out! ...Looks like you've already got part of it on, huh?" He glances up at her sunhat with a grin. "Nice lid."

Halloween, huh? ...He'd had plans for Halloween, right? He always had plans for Halloween; especially this year, now that he'd finally gotten Terra around! ...Tara. "Nah, I was thinkin' 'bout something a little more... cranked up. With Tara. It'll be a surprise."

[est33medpouncellor]

"Ehehee~ Yep! If I do this, I'll be able to wear the costume all day without any trouble at all!"

Yea until English, Nepeta.

Then you gotta lose that hat!

She does like it when others have plans though. And plans with Tara? A surprise?!

"Ooooh~ I bet it'll be wonderful! I can't wait!~"

[thebeastwithout]

"Yeah, it'll be way cool." Beast Boy agrees, flashing another bright smile. "We've been planning for, uh." He looks confused for a half-second before continuing on seamlessly. "A while now. You know if any of the guys're throwing a bash anytime soon?"

[est33medpouncellor]

She shakes her head. "Not yet- but if no one else starts something, then I definitely will!~"

[noluckduck]

... You've got a girlfriend?

[thebeastwithout]

...Where've you been, subterranean? Come on, Clover, Tara and I've been on the hook since March now.

[noluckduck]

How the hell did that happen?

[thebeastwithout]

What can I say? I'm a pretty swell catch.

[noluckduck]

I can't believe someone would actually wanna date ya.

[thebeastwithout]

Sure you're not just jealous?

Action

[cosmicbond]

[Gen'll wobble into the diner. While the first couple of days were headache-free, he's been having dreams and they seem to have triggered something. But, he's bound and determined not to let itbother him. He's got friends to see after all!]

Sorry I'm late!

[thebeastwithout]

Heeeey, Gen! Glad you could come. No gringles, we've just been hangin'.

[Beast Boy will call up a shake for Gen like the polite gentleman he is.]

...Hey, everything cool? You're lookin' a little...

[cosmicbond]

I think I read too much in school. It'll fry your brain, ya know!

[He'll try to look as upbeat as possible as he grabs the offered-up shake.]

[thebeastwithout]

You're tellin' me. Can you believe I've got three years left in the corral...?

[Beast Boy shakes his head in sympathy before sliding into a booth.]

So how's it hanging?

[cosmicbond]

Wellll, this is all ya need to forget about it! Good friends, great food, music. Can't ever get better!

[Gen'll slide a stool over to the table.]

Can't complain much. Well...'cept for the jock patrol decidin' they wanna use me as hose target practice.

[thebeastwithout]

Aw, gee. Sorry to hear that, pal.

[Beast Boy looks even more sympathetic. He got along with pretty much everyone, but he wasn't about to risk his social reputation siding with Gen against the popular kids.]

I don't get it. You're pretty hip; not like a total wet rag or anything.

diner... so late ):

[kinship]

[Cain doesn't look any different from usual, considering he's worn his drone clothes the entire year he's been here. But the accent is no longer German, at least.]

Big day, huh? Thinkin' about giving her your class ring yet?

Never too late >=(

[thebeastwithout]

Heeeey, Cain!

[He slides over to make room for his BFF. Someone who would be his BFF if that word was invented, anyway. He's about to order for Cain when the other boy starts talking.]

Whoaaa. Whoa, whoa, whoa, lay dead, pal. Never said anything 'bout that. That's a real commitment, ya know? Don't know if I'm ready to be jacketed like that yet.

huzzah!

[kinship]

Gotta take the plunge, dude. She's gonna want to know she's got a date for all the dances, a ring gives her that.

[He's mostly teasing, sliding in to sit next to Beast Boy.]

You know. Going steady.

[thebeastwithout]

[Gasp! Beast Boy stares in shock at the mere thought.]

You... you think it's time, Cain? I don't know. What if... what if she wants to keep things the way they are?

[kinship]

Then you could be heading for rocky ground.

[For some reason Cain doesn't entirely understand, that makes him chuckle.]

[thebeastwithout]

H-Hey, come on! Only I get to make that kind of pun around Ter --

[...Beast Boy cuts himself off and looks slightly confused for a few seconds.]

Ta...ra.
