New Plan, Step One: Provide For My Community [open]

[summerdude]

Magnus needs something to change, so when a Mansion calendar helpfully informs him that it's International Falafel Day back on Earth, he goes to the library for some cookbooks, and then to the kitchen.

He lays out ten different falafel recipes. He gathers the ingredients they list, as best as he can understand them. He has canned chickpeas and fresh chickpeas and dried chickpeas and chickpea flour and box mixes of falafel that say 'just add water!'

Cripes.

"I can do this," he says, peering at the assorted recipes intently for a good ten minutes, and then takes the dried chickpeas over to the sink to rinse and soak.

"This one I understand better."

[summerdude]

"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man stupid and blind in the eyes."

[lanselos_du_lac]

"This sounds like nonsense," skeptically.

[summerdude]

"Tough audience," Magnus shrugs. He goes over to check the falafel again. It's starting to brown!

Lancelot leans against the counter for a moment, sipping the Code Red and considering these sayings. "Perhaps," he says after a minute or two, "I simply don't understand the purpose of such sayings."

[summerdude]

"To sound old and wise, obviously."

[lanselos_du_lac]

"Ah. And have you much need for that?"

[summerdude]

"No??? I'm old and wise enough."

[lanselos_du_lac]

"Huh," he says, thoughtfully.

[summerdude]

Magnus crosses his arms and raises his eyebrows at Lancelot. "How old do you think I am?"

[lanselos_du_lac]

Lancelot shrugs, "Younger than I."

[summerdude]

"...okay," says Magnus. "I'll grant you that one."

[lanselos_du_lac]

"You are older than you look, I know. But-- not yet thirty, I think."

[summerdude]

"Twenty-five."

[lanselos_du_lac]

Lancelot nods, though he looks pleased with himself.

[summerdude]

"I only look sixteen to fuck with people," glibly.

[lanselos_du_lac]

"Oh, is that why? You chose it?" He squints a little at Magnus. He does not believe this.

[summerdude]

"Oh, totally."

[lanselos_du_lac]

Lancelot just makes a thoughtful sound.

[summerdude]

"What? You don't believe me?"

[lanselos_du_lac]

"I do not."

[summerdude]

"So suspicious," Magnus says, shaking his head and tsk-ing.

[lanselos_du_lac]

"I've learned it's to my benefit to doubt you, at least a little."

[summerdude]

"My dude, why would you ever doubt me?"

[lanselos_du_lac]

"At times, you tease me or give me information that is meant as joke. For sport."
