Eerie, Indiana drabble: Refurbish

[froodle]

A row of skips, bright yellow and overflowing with rolled carpets and crumbling sheets of plaster, sat on the sidewalk than ran alongside the run-down boarding house on the edge of town. Seen from the outside, the dirty red-brick structure didn’t look big enough to have produced so much detritus.

“Not that that means anything,” said Marshall, poking amidst the various rubbish piles with a long stick. “Wouldn’t be the first place in Eerie to be bigger on the inside.”

“I found a proton pack!” exclaimed Simon. Marshall glanced over.

“It’s a vacuum cleaner,” he said.

“Aw,” said Simon, disappointed.

LOL! And here we can definitely see Marshall's influence on Simon...

[froodle]

Honestly I'm more surprised that Mars even knows what a hoover looks like, given his avoidance of chores...

[deifire]

I'm convinced there are reality where he grows up to have one of those scary hoarder houses that hasn't been cleaned in decades...

[froodle]

esp. since as cancelled pointed out, a lot of the stuff in the evidence locker just looks like junk, so once it overflows the secret spot and into the rest of the house...

[eviinsanemonkey.livejournal.com]

ahahahahaha

this is great!

[deifire]

Poor whoever he winds up living with.

By his old age, his house will bear a scary resemblance to the Bureau of Lost.

[froodle]

The crazy old milkman is actually a total favourite target of lodgepoole because no matter how much junk the bureau misappropriates, old!mars always acquires more

[froodle]

:D

[deifire]

I hope "whatever needs to be" in the back of the milk truck include storage for all his clutter...

[froodle]

the back of the milk truck opens into the inner sanctum at the loyal order of corn. nobody can use the giant tv portal anymore as its buried in boxes

[deifire]

Dash has been in a bad mood about this for years and years...

[froodle]

but is it more over the loss of the tv screen or the portal?

[deifire]

Or are both mildly irritating, but the worst part is the way Marshall just presumes using the space is okay, and never even bothers to apologize for the clutter?

[froodle]

Butbutbut *why* wouldn't you want a dozen milk crates full of obsolete technology that once decided to make Simon it's best friend? THATS JUST SCIENCE WHY DO YOU HATE SCIENCE THO

[deifire]

And Dash tries yelling at explaining to Mars that there's a difference between science and piles of useless crap all over the place, and suddenly they're in an argument about whether or not he sounds just like Marshall's dad...

[froodle]

i really, really want this fic now...
