Damon and Stefan troll each other on the way to Pottery Barn!pocochinaJanuary 29 2012, 18:50:29 UTC
"I've just had my heart broken. My soul ripped from my unbreathing chest. The foundation of my immortal existence dangled before my eyes and snatched cruelly away. You can't expect me to live in squalor like this, too."
"Live in squalor," Stefan repeats slowly.
Damon takes an impressive swig. "Degenerate squalor."
"In a meticulously-maintained fifteen-room antebellum mansion full of priceless antiques?"
"Eternity looms before me, a crushing black chasm of loneliness and gore and chipped coffee mugs and women who inexplicably abandon me. And, you know, you. Which pains me almost as much as the coffee mugs

"Couldn't you have picked up one of these back in the day?" Stefan asks, having derailed Damon's progress toward fancy goblet city by gravitating toward what is admittedly a rather attractive Art Nouveau style desk lamp.
Damon runs a finger over the ribbing on the fluted glass shade. "Oh, I had a few," he says - and they were lovely ones, Tiffany glass, "but, you know. Bad breakup."
"I'm sensing a theme."
"I could spend eternity with this one, though," Damon says. "I can really see this workingThey still haven't made it to glassware, but that's okay. Damon's stocking up. This lamp may be the love of his unlife, but those gorgeous white latte mugs are 4 for $32.00, and why not go for some espresso cups, while he's at it? Their saleslady is hovering, dollar signs in her bright eyes; she's almost attractive enough to tempt him to press pause on the looping tape of the eternal abyss of his blighted desire. Maybe he'll stop back later, if he can get Stefan to hand over the keys, if it won't - he checks his watch - spoil dinner

BWAHAHAHAHA
Your attention for detail is superb, dearest of mine heart.
...
I'm now imagining Damon taking a career assessment quiz and being told he should be a decorator/shopkeeper of fine accoutrements. And Stefan lol'ing his head off because Damon's ~store would be a wreck within the first minute because of Damon's inability to not destroy his own merchandise in a fit of rage due to Stefan/Klaus/transmuting-his-customer-service-rage-into-non-murderous-forms.

Stefan sighs the sigh of a martyr; it's Stefan's favorite sigh.
