Bill stretched and turned away from the window, where he'd watched the sunrise. He'd have to do that from the roof tomorrow.

It was weird being back in Fandom. He'd just been there a few months ago for Ana's graduation. Where Fandom had kept up it's tradition of giving it's graduating seniors one last adventure.

He wondered who else was around. Hopefully, a lot of people.

[Door and post are open.]

"Hey that's great. You have a set route or do you just go where the wind takes you?"

"Depends on where the money is," he said with a grin. "Though it's nice to have a set route, be home sometimes."

"I know how that is. This place gave me a taste for having a set home."

"It's nice to get back to. Hell doing the hardwork after a month away, but it's doable," he said with a smirk.

[*facepalm* Housework!]

"The housework. You ever try cutting grass when it's up to your knees? It's not housework anymore. It's hardwork. Need a separate lawn mower for the back 40 acres."

"Oh, I get it. Yeah we've got quite a lawn back home too. You should get a ride on mower. Or do you not have those yet?"

From: [identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com
"I do. Even then, it takes one of thos attachment things just to get some of it. I just need to be home more, deal with it as it happens instead of dealing with it once it becomes a forest."

"Maybe you could hire a guy to cut it while you're gone?"

"Huh. That's no good. I'm all out of suggestions, so I offer only my sympathies."

"I just need to have a couple kids, keep the homestead fires burning. And cut the damn lawn!" he said with a laugh.

Bill laughed too. "Yeah I loved it when my kids were old enough to start doing chores. They were less thrilled I think."

"Cries of 'child labor' and 'indentured servitude'?" he asked.

Those were two that he tried, at least.

"Ana tried the indentured servitude one yeah. Tommy was not quite as eloquent. He just sulked a lot."

"You offer a wage? Might help."

"I did actually. In addition to their allowance."

"And that still didn't work? Have you tried the uphill barefoot through snow both ways to earn a dollar story from your hcildhood?"

And that would be Jack forgetting that Billy would have to do it barefoot and bareartificialleg.

"Oh it worked eventually. They actually went on strike once when I wouldn't raise their allowance." he laughed.

Date: 2007-11-19 11:33 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com
He laughed. "Did you cut off the allowance completely?"

"Well I tried but their mother wouldn't let me. Instead we went on strike too. It ended in a stalemate."

He just laughed more. "With the dishes piled up and the grass knee high?"

Date: 2007-11-19 11:41 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com
"Exactly. Finally their aunt, and they're mother's best friend stepped in to mediate."

"I can imagine," he said with a smirk. "Remind me not to get invited over to mediate."

Bill smirked. "A friend of the family offered to sell tickets."

"Carrying on the legacy, then? All three for Fandom? Who's the lucky wife?" He may have done the guy-tastic elbow in the ribs or punch on the shoulder.

"Well so far Faith is determined to set herself apart, so we'll see. And my lovely wife's name is Gail. I met her 10 years ago."

"She an alum? Or did you meet her off island? She's not around, is she?" He looked around, as if she would pop up somewhere.

From: [identity profile] l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com
"No she opted out of coming. I tried to convince her so I could show her off, but she wasn't feeling up to travel."

"Someone had to make sure the kids didn't need bail money," he joked.
