Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Friendly banter," one of them mumbled out, given the range and how much food was in their mouth it was most likely Shawn.

Sheldon simply shrugged, slowly chewing another bite of his sandwich and gave Ellie a 'and you're surprised?' look. Given his smoking habits, his lazy and jaded demeanor... it was fairly simple to guess his lifestyle choices. Not that it fit with every person who smoked or the other way around, but it was fitting. But then that look dissolved into a sigh of defeat.

"You know what wrestling match thing like a week or so ago?" He began to explain unhappily - kind of hoping that even just that little question would answer everything - placing his half eaten sandwich in its container to fully tell his tale of woe [as Shawn sat silently like a bump on a log, the b*****d]. "Yeaaah... Sha-" Sheldon had continued, his thought cut off from Ellie's explicit. His eyebrows knitted together for a moment in confusion.

"Hm?"

Damn. There went the blissful thought of getting out of that. Sheldon rolled his eyes, leaning his body back against the cushions of the couch with crossed arms. His eyes averted from Ellie, turning instead to the styrofoam container balancing on his knees. "To make a long story short," the kind he actually liked to tell, "Shawn .... and I," himself included after a disgruntled cough from his neighbor, "thought it would be funny to enter. And so, the Pineapple Avenger was born~" It was kind of scary how close his last sentence resembled the tone from the Powerpuff Girl intro.

"A lot of weed was involved," Sheldon nodded, surprised that Shawn wasn't interjecting to tell some more juicy parts, and settled that as a very short conclusion to his tale. He didn't want to put anymore work into it, it was all over youtube as it was if she had missed out on the match with Don Diablo.

Speaking of Shawn, he was awfully quiet. Sheldon shot his neighbor a glance and raised an eyebrow at the portly guy's amazed face.

"Holy s**t, your hair!" Like Ellie, Shawn lacked tact most of his daily life.

If Shawn wasn't so distracted by the sight of Ellie's hair sans hairband, there would be gawking of a different aspect, some mocking and then probably him demanding they watch the film. Instead, he had missed the question all together and could only mutter "It's so poofy ~" like a five year old child, which was utterly dwarfed by Sheldon's response to Ellie and her attack.

"It's mostly in reference to the movie Pineapple Express," he shrugged giving her the simplest reasons. There were a few more explanations behind it, a few more in jokes and television show nuances but she didn't need to be bothered with those and he didn't feel like going on about them. "Pretty good movie ~" Was all he added as his fingers began to play with the sides of his container.

After a few seconds of pause, he finally gave in to see what Shawn had commented on. His eyebrow regained its heightened position, confused. "It doesn't look that different..." He turned to Shawn [who had inched a little bit away from the blonde], giving him a 'you're a dumbass' look before addressing Ellie again. "Do you need a mirror or something?" It was all he could offer besides water and basics; if it wasn't obvious enough that hair care was not apart of Sheldon's life besides washing it. Haha, his brush had been gone for ages.

"Alrighty," Sheldon had offered in the least but Ellie seemed to have control over her coiffure and obviously wouldn't press the matter. The boy turned back to his sandwich, taking a large bite before turning his eyes back to the screen in front of him. The menu screen from the game had dimmed due to inactivity since the arrival of Ellie into his abode. Sensing defeat of progressing in his quest of achievements for BLOPs, Sheldon simply changed the output channel back to regular television, which was currently on the Discovery Channel.

"Good thing Shawn is in a stupor," he gestured with his head to the portly fellow who had gone back to his own food and looked up with a 'huh?', "or he would have a fit." [There was a second "what?" from Shawn, obviously confused]. Too bad for Ellie, she would miss out of the race chase and explosions from Pineapple Express.

"I'm just tired of all the 3D s**t, really... it made the price of movies go up and that just sucks." Sheldon frowned, thinking of all the extra money he had to waste for such a useless 'extra,' he needed that money for cigarettes dammit! Thank goodness for the internet now, right? Haha, illegal activities.

"Avatar was pretty sweet though," Shawn piped up finally, still sort of out the loop.

"It was only pretty, the story was crap." Sheldon countered. Pocahontas-ed Smurfs in space that movie was.

Shawn rolled his eyes, "so what are you a fan of, Ellie?" Oh how he tried not to ask that in a lewd way but he seriously had gotten little information on this girl aside from what he picked up at the midnight release party, but as he didn't remember s**t for beans that was pretty limited.

One of Sheldon's eyes squinted, his mind playing over the awkward shift of conversation he had brought up with his opinion on 3D movies. Was that an odd jump? ..... proooobably, and it was a little too late now. At least it steered it somewhere though, something Sheldon was not apt in doing on his own.

And it simply was gone as it had entered the room which Shawn's switch up. Figuring what Ellie was going to pull out, Sheldon sat back in his spot and fiddled with the now empty take out container in an almost irritating manner as the two halves of styrofoam rubbed against each other and squeaked, screeched and shuffled.

Shawn, in turn, eagerly awaited what Ellie was going to show him - and sadly grinned as he watched her skirt swish as she walked to her backpack to retrieve her show and tell photograph. And to be honest, he was surprised with the contents of the photo. A bike? Really not what he had expected. "Oh s**t, this is amazing! You made this?" His eyes were wide, as he held the photo back at Ellie with his other hand gesturing to the bike in question.

"s**t, Sheldon... why didn't you take her with you to get a decent bike?" The pudgy neighbor questioned.

"My bike is fine..." Sheldon replied, hefting the container back onto the side table next him.

Sheldon frowned, very much a sadpanda face at her opinions of his very awesome bike. "At least it doesn't have a rainbow..." he muttered, as low as he could, for fear of being smacked by the blonde for it. She was probably going to anyways.

"Still, thats really cool!" Shawn replied enthusiastically, holding the picture back towards the girl sitting on the floor. Could we say Shawn was impressed? Yes, very much so because this was obviously something Shawn could not do and his bike was probably what Ellie's used to be before she turned it into amazing. "What kind of car are you working on?" And he apparently understood some of this stuff, where Sheldon did not.

"You know I don't, Ellie." Sheldon spoke up from his crease in the couch, forgoing talking about vehicles.

"Unlike the blob, I'm in between stuff. Usually dealing for people and working on various stories here and there." This was Shawn's way of saying he didn't have a day job.

Sheldon's defense mechanisms as Ellie came close to him, he began to curl into a small pathetic ball and curled further after she flicked him in the head. His hands went to the spot where she did the damage and he muttered a small "ow!" Why did she always hit him?!

Shawn simply rolled his eyes, oblivious to the reasons behind the attack and really more of ashamed of how Sheldon had taken to it, "such weak sauce..." So, he turned his attention back to the only girl in the room, as she didn't embarrass him. "Aa," was hist first response 'cause he really had no idea what kind of car she was talking about. His knowledge of Hyundai stopped at how close it sounded to Honda, and he always figured it was like some weird knockoff of the bigger car name. He at least figured it was sporty, "going to make it yellow too and a speed demon?"

Her next statement though earned a raised brow, "excuse?"

Sheldon, at this point, pulled himself out of his little ball and scooted just a little further from where Ellie was sitting.
