Clowns are creepy

Who: Chrissy and Skye
Where: Parade!
When: During the Parade. Yay Parade!

Skye'd been suitably impressed with the parade in general, since she'd never seen one before, and she caught a couple pieces of candy, too. But she threw those in her shoulder bag to save for later; maybe her aunt would like one as well. She knew it was probably a rather small one, considering how fast it was thrown together, but they were professionals, after all, so maybe not? Skye didn't know. Whatever. She was enjoying herself and people seemed to be having a wonderful time with it.

Chrissy decided to check out the parade. Not like there was much else that she could really get into. She'd let Thom off the hook for today. After all the guy'd spent Friday and Saturday with her so the least she could do is let him have one day of his weekend to himself. She moved through the crowd, not really paying much attention to the parade itself but more to the people that were watching it. A bunch of familiar faces from school and then, there was Skye. Chrissy figured she might as well go talk to the girl, so she made her way towards her and plastered on a smile. "Hey!"

"Chrissy!" Skye broke into a wide grin. "How are you? Did you have fun at the masquerade after we separated?" She started dodging standing and dancing people and got over to Chrissy quickly enough. "Or am I keeping you from Thom again?" One day she was really going to have to meet Thom properly, Skye resolved, but for in the general future which was a lot of time. She pushed a lock of hair out of her face.

She shook her head and waved her hand dismissively. "Oh no. You're not keeping me from him." she said. "He's probably at home playing his guitar. I don't think he's much for parades and such." she shrugged. "I had a good time at the masquerade, talked to the bartender guy for a bit, danced with Thom, mingled. Normal stuff, what about you? See Gabe anymore?"

"Nah, but there were a lot of people there." Skye shrugged. And she hadn't exactly been looking - she'd needed a little time to get over her bloody self. God, that'd been awful. Twit. "But I'll probably see him at school on Monday, though - is it just me, or are clowns just a little bit creepy?" She asked good naturedly, distracted for a moment by a few that were going by as part of the aforementioned parade.

Chrissy's attention turned towards the clowns and she wrinkled her nose. She'd never been a big fan of them. Old balding men dressed up in big fat white jumpsuit things with wigs and red noses. Disturbing. Who would want to take their kid around shit like that? She nodded to Skye's question. "Yeah, they're fuckin' creepy alright." she agreed. "I never understood the concept of clowns. They're just... ugh."

Skye had literally meant they were only a little creepy, and hadn't expect that response, so it had her blinking a few times. But soon the clowns were gone anyway. "I can see why there are horror movies about them, anyway. I mean, I wouldn't want to meet one in a dark alley." Of course, she didn't rally care for dark alleys anyway, but that was beside the point. "You up to anything today?"

"What'd you have in mind?" she questioned. "I just wanted to check out the hype about this and make an appearance, not really feeling the whole... parade vibe. We could hang out if you wanted. Do something, doesn't really matter." She honestly could care less what they did, but leaving the parade sounded like a good idea. The less clowns the better.

"If you're willing, you could try teaching me those cheers." Skye suggested. "I'm not in any huge rush or anything, though. We could do something else." There wasn't a lot that Skye could decide on otherwise, really. Without a metric tonne of chores to do, Skye's Sunday was really, glaringly, open.

"Cheering is fine. I've got this really awesome Caesar salad in my fridge if you like salad and stuff." she shrugged. "Up to you though." She glanced back at the parade and the clowns and made a face. "Gotta be better than around here watching clowns and all that shit."

"Lead, and I shall follow." Skye said, amused. "Though I'm not really hungry right now. Maybe later."

Chrissy nodded and headed off through the crowd in the direction of her house. She didn't bother keeping her pace slow, Skye would just have to keep up.
