Sunshine's stupid request

[Sly Cooper]

Jacob entered the door and Sunshine sqeeled in an even higher pitch even louder than before, "Oh my god! Isaac like called you here or something cos we were just talking about you and like were getting married and like Isaac is like psycho or something and--" Jacob's eyes widened as Sunshine came plunging at him and clinging to him like a barnicle. "Whoa whoa whoa! I just wanted directions, and I think you mean psychic or not psycho-- although maybe he is psycho if he's trying to marry you and I off togheter."

[Bunny]

John raised his eyebrows at the Jacob's apparent lack of interest in the girl clinging to his chest. "What's wrong with you?" he muttered. "She's really pretty and she wants to marry you for whatever reason. I didn't know you were an affiancer!" Not that affiancer was a word, but try telling John Peters that.

Isaac also was midlyl surprised at the revulsion Jacob was giving Mary. Not commenting on the derogatory statement regarding his sanity he asked, "I see you do not share her enthusiasm."

[Sly Cooper]

"What is it with everyone thinking that I would be interested with her," Jacob was about ready to flip his lid, he was really tired of getting told to marry Sunshine, she's hot. "No I do not share her enthusiasm! How could I lower my IQ far enough to be interested in her?"

Sunshine made a face, because the only thing she got out of the entire conversation was that she was pretty. She eyeballed John Peter. "I am pretty!"

[Bunny]

Isaac blinked. Jacob had an interest for greater things than the mere pleasures of the flesh. Despite Mary's undeniable beauty, he eschewed her because her foolishness repulsed him. Ironically, that wisdom in choosing his spouse made Jacob far more qualified to take Mary's hand in marriage than he had previously guessed. He possessed an intelligence to reign in, control, and ultimately save Mary from herself.

But his rudeness, however, was a sour disappointment. "It is not becoming of the Lord's children to insult another," he reprimanded. "To scorn one of his children is to invite the Lord's scorn upon you." Without segue, he immediately changed subjects. "Do you court any other girl, Jacob? You are also growing short of time to assure the fold continues even after you leave us."

John Peters wasn't listening to Isaac. Instead, his sunken in eyes were all on Sunshine. "Yes, you are!" he agreed.

[Sly Cooper]

"Erm-- another girl you say-- courting--" Jacob thought for a moment if he could pull a random girl from his head and say he was with her, because he really didn't like where this was heading. "Uh-- well-- I like Amber-- she's pretty and decently intelligent." Any way to get out of marrying Sunshine, Jacob would try and take-- although she would no doubt die nearly two years sooner than him, but-- Jacob was an impatient fellow, and those few months were not short enough.

Sunshine on the other hand was showing herself off to John. "Look I am pretty!" She would bat her eyelashes, stick out her chest and rear, and flip her blond hair around. "I am the pretties girl in Gatlin!" And so very modest.

[Bunny]

Isaac quirked an eyebrow. "Amber?" he repeated, unsure if he had heard Jacob's correctly. As far as he knew, there was no Amber that Jacob could possibly be courting. "Who is Amber? Is that her former name she was given by the adults before we were enlightened?" Several of the adults had not given their children names that complimented their new status as God's chosen people, so they had been given new ones. However, some children held on stubbornly to their old titles.

John Peters, though he was enjoying Sunshine's flirtations advances, knew that he had to shift gears. He knew how to handle women. Most girls were Daddy's Little Girl, still tainted by their old, evil fathers. They thought they were so perfect and wanted everything done for them. They were spoiled, and used to being spoiled. But they longed for structure and for some one to show them authority. "Yeah, I get it!" he snapped. "You're beautiful. You'd be prettier if you werent' dressed like ten cents a dance, and would maybe act a little more refined and modst!"

[Sly Cooper]

"You know-- Amber the one with the-- brown hair-- and eyes-- and the chest. Amber-- I like her. It might be her old name. I don't know." Jacob forged a smile, hoping that this issue wouldn't go any farther.

"You're an asshole!" Sunshine exclaimed at John Peters' comments. Not that she knew what refined and modest meant. She tried to bitch slap him.

[Bunny]

Isaac was about to respond to Jacob, with something along the lines of Does she have two arms and breath? but with a little more poise, when he heard a roar of profanity, followed by a loud slap. He turned his head to see what Mary and John had gotten themselves into.

"You bitch," John growled, rubbing the cheek where Sunshine had worried it. "But al'ight, al'ight. I can take this. You wanna be a spoiled little douchebag, I can do it too. We're all equal under the Lord, so I can punch you just like I would a man." He curled his hand into a fist and struck forward.

[Sly Cooper]

Jacob turned to see what in the name of He Who Walks Behind the Rows was going on. Sunshine had been struck in the eye and she just became more angry. I'm surprised this hadn't happened earlier, Jacob had thought to himself. "You think you can hit Sunshine!" She exclaimed than attempted to go at John's face with her well manicured nails.

[Bunny]

John Peters howled as the claws scratched across her face, and he tried to push her away from him, kicking at her legs as he did so.

The boy preacher, however, did not fall into a fiery rage. Instead, he watched the quarrel with a detached disgust, as though a large cockroach and stumbled into his path. "You will stop this right now," he ordered. "You invite the Lord's wrath upon both of you." Not wanting to go into the fray himself, he nodded at Jacob. "Stop them."

[Sly Cooper]

Jacob found it was best to listen to Isaac even though he would much rather not in this particular situation. In fact, he thought it was quite amusing to see the two people who he found to be most annoying going at each other like animals.

Sunshine was one the floor because her scrawny, yet shapely legs didn't withstand being kicked at. And so she began to flail her legs around hoping to hit John.

"Hey com'mon guys. Let's knock it off. The lord will be most displeased. I know that means nothing to Sunshine but--" He stopped in mid-sentance when with all of the harlot's random kicks hit him directly between his legs. "Ow," he squeaked.

[Bunny]

"Oh, so now you're going to hit Jacob?!" John fumed. "That's not right! He was just trying to settle you down you -- "

"SILENCE!" Isaac cut him off, finally breaking the barrier between extreme annoyance and rage. "I have tolerated the disrespect of the two of you to both myself and the Lord for far too long!"

"Disrespect?" John snorted. "How did I disrespect you? Sunshine is the one who slapped me in the face! I was just defending myself. Isn't that right, Jacob? You saw it. What did you see?"

[Sly Cooper]

Still really hurting, Jacob was hunched over in pain. "Uh-- I turned to look about the time where Sunshine was clawing you in the face. So I'm not really sure-- of the whole thing." Oh great, just thanks a lot, thanks so much for getting me involved Dolphinboy. "But I heard a lot of swearing."

[Bunny]

John made a great show of rolling his eyes. Of course. He just won't stand up to Isaac. Just wants to see me punished. He knows what happened, but he's siding with Sunshine so I get in trouble!

"Of course you didn't hear anything," he mutterd. "You never do, do you?"

Isaac had recovered from his rage, and had settled into the comfortable perch held between the two demons of cynicism and sarcasm. "It is by the grace of God that he can hear at all," he agreed. "His ears much be very sore from having to hear your profanities all throughout the night."

The boy preacher generally kept his sarcasm to himself, thinking it unbecoming of a person of his rank. Sarcasm was, after all, merely a weapon some of the less-blessed used to give the aura of intelligence. But the interrupted nap, Sunshine being Sunshine, and John Peters, the one who had stolen his sleep the night before, being John Peters, certainly gave him a sarcastic licence.

John Peters didn't catch it. "I don't swear that much! Certainly not enough to hurt anyone's ears permenately!"

[Sly Cooper]

"I heard you. I just didn't see you. And admittedly, Sunshine started it by calling you an A-hole." Jacob scowled at John.

Sunshine finally stopped flailing and got up off the floor. She, like always had no IDEA what was going on. Nor could she follow along with everyone's talking. "Too much talking!" She pulled the seat of her dress back down to where it belonged instead of having her underwear stick out. "I don't know what you're blabing about," Sunshine made a rude gesture to mock everyone's talking. "Blah blah blah I talk too much blah blah blah no one knows what I'm talking about cause I use too big of words blah blah blah."
