Strangetown Extras: The Banana Question

[strangetomato]

Okay, this is a short, silly thing, inspired by some talk at cultofrances today about Frances pairings. I thought about the interactions between him and the two guys in his life in my story, who haven't been featured together yet, though I've thought it through quite a bit. It also uses something extracted from Castaway Stories, which gave me an idea. Well, you'll see. ;)







"Oh... hi," Tank said, as he turned the corner into the kitchen.




"I thought it was just you." He meant Frances, but Beau paid this no mind.

"Yup, just us, T-man."

"Tank."

"Yeah, yeah..."

"Beau," Frances warned.

"Okay, I'm sorry... want a banana, Tank?"

"Excuse me?!"






"Yeah, you know... a banana? Delicious fruit... an excellent source of potassium? "

Beau proceeded to suggestively eat the banana, while Tank stood there awkwardly.




"Mmmm... sweet, sweet bananas."




Tank was aghast.

Beau was amused.




Frances was at a loss for words.

Oh dear god, what have I gotten myself into?

"You're sure you don't want any, Tank?" Beau asked, "They're pretty good."

"Umm... No thanks."




"You know, I really like your hair like that, Tank." Beau said, when he finished eating.

"Oh?"

"Yeah, you two sort of look alike now. Like one of those couples that starts to turn into each other after living together for so long."

"We're not a couple."

"Well, you know what I mean."

"Umm, sure. I'm... just going to get myself some mac and cheese here..." He walked over to the cupboard to find a box.

"Nice! Can we have some too?" Beau asked. Frances held his breath, thinking that this was maybe pushing it.




"Uhhh..." Tank paused. "Yeah, sure. Why not?"

Frances let out a sigh of relief.

I love that last picture of Frances... it really does look like he was on edge, lol!

Well, Tank and Beau are bound to run into each other sooner or later, lol! I love it. Poor Tank, though... he's going to be learning a lot. And you know, that's not all bad. ;)

Don't you just love those extracted CS items? I mean... everybody needs bananas!! :D

He looks something like a monkey too. *snicker*

Beau quickly makes himself at home at Frances' place, so Tank starts to see a lot of him. It's definitely eye opening. Beau sees how easy it is to make Tank uncomfortable, and uses this to amuse himself. He tends to get away with that sort of thing, though.

And yeah, Tank learns to deal with it, eventually.

Yeah, bananas are a good thing. It's such a staple that was missing from the game.
