Guess who's back in town? = Entry 28

Nov 08, 2009 00:03

Anybody awake out there? It's Smoke and I'm looking at my bar, rather upset by how much damage the fire did. Guess I'm going up to Temp to raid an empty room. I don't need a beautiful cot or anything, but it'd be nice to have a pillow & blanket. Starting tomorrow I'll be fixing the place up by hand, just like how I built it ( Read more... )

z: ghost (jack landors), less than perfect handwriting, ! edensphere - journal entry, where's a bar when you need one?, z1: aurora (tieria), triumphant return, !c5: moon (sanzo), z2: alexi (skwisgaar), z: medium (maya fey), z5: vladimir (godot), in desperate need of cigs, worrywart kappa, working out aggressions, !c2: grift (thomas evans)

...This is Ghost.

yeah T_T inthecenterfold November 10 2009, 06:22:03 UTC

Huh. I could've sworn the guy named Ghost wrote differently... well, nice to meet you. I'm Smoke~

redrobinhood November 10 2009, 06:23:40 UTC

[big. fat. inkblot.]

inthecenterfold November 10 2009, 06:28:45 UTC

Is there something wrong with your pen? It's leaking a lot.

he has no idea what to sayyyyy redrobinhood November 10 2009, 06:37:37 UTC

Er--no.

I--

[he feels defeated.]

Nice to meet you too.

T_T <3333 inthecenterfold November 10 2009, 06:46:50 UTC

Hey don't worry about it. You're the quiet type, I get it.

[[Thinking: it's actually kinda' endearing.]]

/edges slowly towards a quicklog redrobinhood November 13 2009, 07:54:39 UTC

Yeah ah...

Look. We need to talk.

/kicks LJ notifs inthecenterfold November 14 2009, 03:25:46 UTC

If you want. Just say where and when.

Quicklog? redrobinhood November 15 2009, 05:29:11 UTC

I think the sooner the better, or else Aurora's gonna ...glare at me or something.

Yup inthecenterfold November 15 2009, 06:44:14 UTC

And Aurora's glare are pretty effective, I'll give you that.

/fucking starts this thing already, god redrobinhood November 19 2009, 05:46:01 UTC

I'll meet you by the elevator then? 5 minutes? We can figure out someplace to talk later. ...I'm the guy with the dreadlocks ok?

***

[Ghost was in no rush to have this conversation in the slightest. He dragged his feet in getting his coat on and shuffled towards the elevator with nervous energy. Honestly it had been bad enough thinking that he was the only one who had forgotten the relationship. But if Smoke didn't remember--well now what did they do? It was like they were strangers all over again. Only worse because now they were strangers with a history that everyone else remembered. Everyone but them.

Just how the hell was he gonna break this to the guy? "Hey you don't know me and I don't know you but once upon a time we totally an item. Nice to meet you?" How did he keep finding himself in these most awkward social situations?! God damn Sphere.

He was worried. What if he saw Smoke and felt nothing? What if he saw Smoke and felt something? For some reason Ghost had the sinking feeling he truly sucked at relationships ( ... )

no allusions in there at all. none. 1/2 inthecenterfold November 19 2009, 06:05:00 UTC

Sure thing. The Marketplace Bazaar level, right?

----
Dreadlocks? What the heck does that look like?

[Smoke wasn't sure, but he expected that by the time he stood at the Elevator long enough, he'd find someone standing around equally confused.

Unlike Ghost, he was pretty chill about the whole thing. Smoke knew that this guy 1) was named Ghost, 2) knew Aurora, 3) had been ordered by Aurora to talk to Smoke, 4) had been referenced as "your Ghost" by Aurora, 5) wouldn't tell Smoke the truth about Ghost for 3 days, because 6) Smoke and Ghost had known each other prior to the raging fires that had overtaken the Sphere.

And the guy had 'dreadlocks', whatever that was, and - apparently - the shy/quiet type. For Smoke? It was little more than meeting someone he only knew over the journals for the first time.]

"Hmm... Ghost, and dreadlocks... and... oh!"

2/2 inthecenterfold November 19 2009, 06:11:23 UTC

[Short black guy, uber-ping, target locked. Smoke walks over]

"Uh... you Ghost? I'm Smoke~ ♥"

And... flirt? What? Why? I mean okay his shyness is hilarious- why did I assume he'd be a guy? A blind date, not with a girl? ... This isn't a date, what the hell.

[If he wasn't so experienced at falling in lust, he'd be a little pink right now. But he's way too cool for that.]

"Nice to meet you. I uh... run the bar that's all burnt?"

redrobinhood November 19 2009, 06:45:36 UTC

[Ghost was looking for a redhead. He wasn't expecting someone so...tall drop dead gorgeous and exotic. Long blood red hair, red eyes...

Red.

He KNEW this man...maybe it wasn't gonna be so bad afterall...But WOW was he...flirting?! Already?! Damn man. This dude had moves!]

Hey. Yeah I know about the bar.

[Pause]

I'mma just gonna be blunt here and ask--do I look familiar to you?
