3. Good Morning [Text/Open]

Pancakes for breakfast, and downright friendly ones at that. Not that they're inherently rude to begin with, it wouldn't be proper to start the morning off like that. Still, these are just about perfect.

I think it's going to be a good day.

Oh my goodness. I am so terribly sorry: I was under the impression you were a female.

...I am? It's short for Winifred. But everyone calls me Fred. I just meant...

I'm not a 'miss'?

Ohhhhh. I see. I didn't think I'd make that sort of mistake again.

Is this a modern issue, or is there some other reason?

A modern issue? [She doesn't quite understand]

I guess I just never felt like it fit. My name, I mean. I like Fred.

I'm from 1897. But I certainly don't have any problem addressing people inappropriately, if they'd prefer.

This has made me grin. The whole thing...

Well, we're about a hundred years a part then give or take. Do you really think it's inappropriate?

That's what Georges are for.

It takes a bit of getting used to. Where I come from, calling a woman by her Christian name isn't something one enters into lightly. But I also enjoy trying new things.

:)

Well, if it makes you feel any better you wouldn't be calling me by my Christian name. Not exactly?

I also think of sustenance, and give thanks for the food. But this morning was also the skull rack.

A nickname is even more scandalous.

I'm sorry to say I don't really have one.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/ 2011-07-10 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
...scandalous? You really think Fred is scandalous?

[Shaking that off]

Is it okay if I call you George?

[identity profile] grand-lotus.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I am sure to have seen you before now. How have you been finding the Barge?

[identity profile] 19centconstable.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
No, no. People where I come from would consider calling a woman a nickname in public scandalous.

Of course. That's what everybody calls me.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/ 2011-07-10 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Well I promise not to be scandalized.

And I'm glad we met, George.

I'm finally settling in I think> I have a friend from home here, which helps.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_fredless/ 2011-07-10 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess skull racks just really aren't what come to mind. But we can agree on giving thanks for the food?

[identity profile] leadsthestars.livejournal.com 2011-07-10 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
We can agree on that.
