Waking the Dead 2.0 || August 19, 2063 || Friday

[icarusalsoflew]

[This one disappears for about thirty minutes, and returns as quietly as he left with two briefcases. He doesn't explain where he went, but from how he ducks into Hikaru's room for about fifteen minutes after that, it can probably be inferred that he fetched a few things from Falner.

Looks like he'll be staying at the Tower while he has taken control of his Brother's body. You're usually going to spot him hovering around, smoking, working through a glass of rum, eyes crimson-ringed and glowing oddly in all lights (or lack thereof) watching... who knows what he's watching? And that suit he's wearing - three-piece, black, pin-striped, with ghostly faces and smoke occasionally moving over the "fabric" - is pretty nice, creepiness aside.

Please excuse him if you find him suddenly popping in on you. It's just what he does.]


OOC Notes:
+ Drop starters as you please! I'll have Death haunt you accordingly. ♥
+ Feel free to do other stuff among yourselves here as well.
+ Do note that Makoto's out and solid for this evening too, so you can bug him or ping me if you want him to come around and bother you.

then i guess it is a v good thing that we have that shopping thread to do

[larue]

[ God, you are such a child.

He is okay with this. ]

You are awful. That's what you are.

[ He's folding his arms on the edge of your bed now. ]

At least we got your mind off being suspicious over the bed.

who's starting that again? /forgets ;;

[bostova]

[ She'll just roll her eyes, now. Pillow fights are exhausting. ]

It was a legitimate concern, Joshua.

either of us can if you like :3 i just want it

[larue]

[ He'd like to argue with you on that... but he kind of can't. ]

Yeah. True.

But nothing on the bed, right? If there were, it would have kicked in by now.

c-could you..? ;m;

[bostova]

[ That's because she always wins. ]

No, I suppose not.

But now you are also going to buy me a night stand, just so I am sure he doesn't do anything to it. [ Because she is a child, yes. (You can always say no, Josh.) ]

let me go brain it. pm you.

[larue]

[ Why in the world would he say no? He already plans to get you a dress -- or two. This works out. ]

When do you want to do that, by the way?

o7

[bostova]

[ Don't spoil her, wow. ]

Whenever you are free. [ shrug ] We are on [ airquotes ] vacation [ airquotes ] after all.

[larue]

[ He laughs at that. ]

We'll figure something out.

[ He's pushing himself to his feet now. ]

I'm going to head out for a smoke. You need anything?

[bostova]

Aside from a bottle of wine, and peace and quiet? No, I am fine. You go on ahead.

[ She needs to fix the sheets again, they made a mess.... except she's going to end up sleeping in it anyway so. She'll debate that. ]

[larue]

Not sure if we have wine, but Kaz probably stocked up.

[ Opening that door now. ]

I'll leave it outside your door if you end up falling asleep.

[bostova]

[ You get another eyeroll. ]

Too early for sleep, Joshua. I might still be around.

Now get out of my room. [ Because she can be so immature, she'll throw another pillow in your direction. ]

[ktotheatothez]

[ And he has to think on that. Most of his preferred slang actually comes from way before he was born. ]

I think that the slang from the 2010s lives on. I hear a lot of adults saying 'Medj' or 'Deins' the same way we use it so...

[icarusalsoflew]

[Hm.]

I am starting to get the impression that Keepers of the Vigil tend to be creatures who fixate on the past.

[larue]

[ And since you're both being children, he is sticking out his tongue at you before he starts chuckling again. ]

As you wish, malishka.

[ If memory serves him right, Mr. Falner called you that.

Yes, he also just did a mock bow at you. ]

[atlas_shrugged]

You're feeling better, aren't you? [ A grin ] I think that deserves a Scooby Snack. [ A chuckle ]

[ktotheatothez]

Hmm. Why's that?

[ktotheatothez]

Yeah, I am... Little better now.

[icarusalsoflew]

In spite of the presence of new technology, many of your kind appear to prefer using older techniques of disposing of your marks. Many of you also display nostalgia for things that have come to past.

[ktotheatothez]

Ah. Nostalgia. Have you ever heard the phrase "they don't make 'em like they used to"? We tend to apply that depending on preferences. Some people like older stuff because newer things may be shiny, but they're not always as good to some people because of those preferences.

[ He lifts his lighter to you. ]

This is a classic Zippo from the late two-thousands. It was treated the same way as newer lighters are now. Again, preference.

[icarusalsoflew]

[Hmm.]

Is it not, as well, grounded for many on practicality? We have, after all, spoken about tradition. Conventions. I simply find it interesting how the majority of the Keepers have such common preferences for "old things", as Brother Wolf likes to put it.

[ktotheatothez]

That too. I'm young, as far as Hunter standards go... Lots of things are old to me, and everything I've learned so far kind of points to the fact that sometimes, you'll have an easier time doing it old school.

[ Unless it's traveling. There isn't anything more convenient than a 'port. ]

[icarusalsoflew]

Ah.

[Nodding, looking satisfied.]

Thank you for explaining these matters to me.

[ktotheatothez]

Of course, brother.

[ He really doesn't mind you two talking. ]

[atlas_shrugged]

That's all that matters to me, bro. [ He puts an arm around Kaz's shoulders and takes a swig of his beer ]

[ktotheatothez]

Sorry I worried you, though.

[ He leans into that, taking a long drag of his cig. ]

[atlas_shrugged]

Don't worry about it, Kaz. [ A reassuring squeeze ] It's wat big brothers do, right?
