part 222 bon bons

[aphanon_meme]

I was about to make the part name Halloween related when I realized: Mod. Halloween is over.

Also 222! I like saying that. Two two two. Two-two-two. Two-hundred twenty-two. Two two... two.

Enjoy part 222! :)

[already on his third beer]

[almost rang fem!France's number a dozen times over the last days... key word almost, after all what should he tell her - "I think I broke an eyes.gif spider's heart"?]

[not to mention the Halloween murders that didn't really get resolved (and likely never will)]

[or the motivations and whereabouts of the ghost who almost shot him]

[and he still didn't manage to figure out who or what the Unseeing One is]

[and his assistant is deeeaaad]

[yeah, he's getting smashed]

[bake_einsamcake]

[shuts one eye and sighs, annoyed]

I didn't willingly--

[watches you bounce off]

...

Well. That was weird.

[ceskeamoravske]

[ count on her to always antagonize you ]

...well, someone looks down.

[bake_einsamcake]

[pulls himself together]

And what brings you here, Tschechien?

[ceskeamoravske]

[ oh, that's not going to work ]

It's a bar. There's a bar, I appear. That good enough for you? [ plops herself down on a stool next to you ]

So, what's the matter?

[bake_einsamcake]

[she sat down, it's too late]

[ugh]

Nothing much, really.

[drinks some more]

It has just been a... stressful week. I never like the time around Halloween.

[ceskeamoravske]

[ gives you what might be a comforting pat on the head if she was someone else; Austria, for example ]

It'll be okay in the end, right?

[ certainly hopes not, it makes messing with you much simpler ]

[bake_einsamcake]

[smoothes his hair back down]

Of course it will be, I'll see to that. But you know how sometimes it just...

[sighs and briefly massaged the bridge of his nose]

Well. You know the meme.

[ceskeamoravske]

I still like it here; I can't understand how anyone wouldn't~

[ remember that comment you made about her fitting in here? yeah, that still applies ]

[bake_einsamcake]

[groans inwardly; only a lunatic would hold that opinion - at least that's what it feels like for him at the moment]

At least nobody from out team got killed, so I guess that's something. Time to look on the bright side. Also it's over for this year, another positive point.

[takes another swig]

[ceskeamoravske]

[ just watches; hasn't actually ordered anything for herself ]

Somehow, you're optimistic. It's interesting.

[bake_einsamcake]

I have to be. We all have to be.

[ceskeamoravske]

[ pokes your forehead sharply ]

We don't have to be. We choose to be; because if we aren't, then everything falls apart.

[bake_einsamcake]

[blinks and half-heartedly swats at her hand]

Well, let me rephrase it then: we have to be if we want progress. And let me tell you, I do want progress.

[takes a long swig as if for emphasis]

[ceskeamoravske]

[ rolls her eyes, but lowers the hand all the same ]

Oh, yeah, I'm sure you do....

[ thoughts... trailing... off.... ]

[ gets a beer ]

[bake_einsamcake]

[finishes his own beer in silence before ordering another 3/4 glass]

[if she's going to give him a funny look for that he'll ignore it]
