Nancy:
Wow, what do you have there?
Me:
*carrying the bag with G'Kar and Londo action figures in a plastic bag* Uh, action figures.
Nancy:
... of course it is. I thought it was candy!
Me:
Yeeaaaaah, no.
Nancy:
Well, you can tell me about it tomorrow.
Me:
I can't! I'll be in California!
Nancy:
Well, that's ni - wait, you're doing what? why?
Me:
I'm going to a convention. Hence the action figures.
Nancy:
Oh, wow, you aren't a Furby, are you?
Me:
...what?
Nancy:
I said, "You're not a Furby, are you?".
Me:
*suddenly understanding that Pittsburgh is home to Anthrocon*
Nancy:
Do you know what Furbies are?
Me:
Yes, but I don't think you do. The word you want is furry. Furby is the little toy.
Nancy:
Oh, well, anyway, we always tease Bruce because every time the furries come to town, he's mysteriously absent from work.
Me:
oh my god, i hope Bruce is a furry
Nancy:
What is your convention for?
Me:
Doctor Who.
Nancy:
Doctor Who?
Me:
Yes.
Nancy:
No, I - is that what's called? I was asking.
Me:
OH, I just thought you knew it.
Nancy:
Is that what the figures are from?
Me:
... no, actually, I'm just bringing them because.
Nancy:
... well, have fun! I'm not totally convinced you aren't a Furby!
