Comments

week 6, monday

[holyspirits]

[ i'm already logged into this journal so this one is first. anyway, whenever till shows up for work at the tavern, he will find a glowing figure behind the bar counter. it's entirely possible pretty much every day (except friday) that he's come by he's seen the figure around.

and today, said-figure is busy unpacking a crate of bottles to cram into shelves behind the bar. there's a baby lion sleeping on the counter itself, and there's music playing from somewhere.

but when till walks in they pause, looking up and greeting him with a nod. ]

Welcome back.

me audience

[blink_gone]

[ hi, he's back for his shift!! says hello before i pass out ]

H-Hey.

[ still not used to the glowstick effect... ]

You, uh, own this place, right?

[holyspirits]

[ sometimes... you are simply a glowworm. ]

Yeah. Guess you could call it a joint venture now between me and the brothers, but the bar was originally mine. [ a pause. ] Gabriel, if the others didn't mention.

[ hello, nice to meet you, etc. ]

[blink_gone]

...Till.

[ a clipped greeting, but he doesn't do great with authority figures... but he is still sussing out if this is an authority figure though. seems most like A Guy Who Glows. ]

Can you make me a drink?

[holyspirits]

[ yeah, sometimes you just glow? but there's a nod and they're moving to turn and grab a glass. ]

Do you have a preference or am I surprising you?

[blink_gone]

[ Oh, shit, I dunno?? he's very indecisive but he will play it off cool. ]

I don't. [ putting his elbows on the bar ] Make me something you think suits me.

[holyspirits]

Sure thing, man. [ gets to work on a midori sour. they've been doing this for some time, so their hands are all fluid motion and the pours are generous without being heavyhanded. ]

You keep coming back to this place. [ for your little job... ]

week 6, monday

[batterypack]

[ forces us to be in the academy, hello. she's coming out of a classroom perhaps by the time till walks into the building, but she does pause and give him a little wave. ]

I was hoping to run into you.

[blink_gone]

[ yay, school days! he was not a great student, but that's okay, no report cards in equestria.

he shifts a little nervously, but waves back. ]

I'm not in trouble, am I? Whatever it is, I didn't do it.

[batterypack]

[ gives him an a in being a good boy. ]

What? No. Unless you did something else I should know about? Did you do something else I should know about?

[blink_gone]

[ somehow i read this as a useless boy and agreed ]

W-What? No! [ except he's double-guessing himself now. he is always in trouble. but okay, after a second, ] I just—why were you looking for me then?

[batterypack]

[ help. ]

Mostly to make sure you're holding up all right. This was... a pretty terrible weekend for your arrival, all things considered.

[blink_gone]

[ oh... his metaphorical hackles go back down ]

Uh... It wasn't great. [ aki, ] But I'm not the one who's been dealing with this for a month already.

[hotfixer]

[ drifting over to till, wherever he's at. yeah that's right i pull you into a game 5 weeks in AND i make you choose your own location. fuck you i guess. (sorry.) ]

How are you doing?

[blink_gone]

[ WOW... when i have absorbed like 10 locations total in my brain. they can be at the soundstage, where he is tuning a guitar with such absolute concentration that he jolts upright like a startled cat at the question, clutching his instrument. ]

GAH! What!?

[ he's fine. how are you. ]

[hotfixer]

[ YAY her favorite place.

just smiles? ]

I said: how are you doing?

[blink_gone]

[ glancing off as his heart rate stabilizes. ]

I-I'm... fine. [ he'll finally look at her though ] You're one of the angels, right?

[hotfixer]

Yes. I'm Ramiel!

[blink_gone]

Oh. Hey.

[ settles down a little and gives an awkward belated wave. ]

...I'm Till. Should've gone to talk to you guys more sooner, sorry.

week 6, tuesday

[configurer]

[ special nu audience in the cat cafe ignore the late start gamaliel is standing up from her position on the ground with cats when she spots till ]

--Till. How are you doing?

[ very real concerns of oh god our poor newbie ]

[blink_gone]

[ me audience!!

he is warily eyeing the cats, but nods stiffly in greeting. ]

Uh, good. I bit a bunch of these guys earlier though so they might be pissed.

[ as a chao... but he is fine. ]

[configurer]

You ... bit cats...?

[ she would judge except she's. making such a face ]

Did they curse you again? [ CAN THEY STOp ]

[blink_gone]

[ launches into complaining ]

YEAH! Again! I got turned into one of those—short little bubble guys and had to fight for my life!

[ he just got turned into a cat toy for a few hours it was fine. ]

Why do people even use those things!?

[configurer]

The... chao... ?

[ she's like. patting his shoulder ]

People think they're funny. It's been. Rough. I don't know why they keep using them on you, though.

[blink_gone]

[ the chao........... he makes a face that confirms yes, it is the chao.

anyway, the answer is hazing. ]

Hell if I know. [ he scowls bigly and then squats to say hi to the cats. his enemies... ] Maybe it's their weird way of making me feel welcome.
