Meanwhile, with the Disaster Twins strong_silent_1 May 14 2006, 17:22:06 UTC
Rude ran his thumb along the ripped add, smearing the print due to the wetness in the air. His head pounded, though he recalled, briefly, that he and Reno were behind their favorite bar.

There was a reason they'd gone out drinking like that. A good reason, not the usual reason, like "Reno can't find his socks" or "Rude broke a pair of glasses". No, this was a good reason. Rude looked around before removing his sunglasses and rubbing his eyes. After replacing them, he ran that same hand over his bald head.

Oh yes… that was why.

Then he recalled that they were going to be evicted from their apartment if they didn't get jobs. Apparently the landlord had finally located people large enough to handle Rude.

Damnit all. They had MONTHS of back rent, too. He swung out then, bashing his smaller friend in the chest. It was a wordless way to tell the red head to wake up.

Are those a pair of sunglasses in your pocket or are you just happy to see me? :3 redhead_radical May 14 2006, 22:53:43 UTC
Reno snorted, coughing once from the revitalizing blow to the chest. He used the bottom of his shoe to shove off the wall so he could stand at Rude's side. That brick wall was mighty comfy, but he'd shape up. ...Just this once!

"Wha?" Reno...sort of asked, rubbing one side of his face. His posture slackened, making his already short height compared to Rude drop another three inches. The sunglasses he wore at the top of his forehead fell down onto the bridge of his nose; he stubbornly pushed them back up. "Oh man, I thought I was dreaming..."

Dreaming that they had to get jobs. Or maybe...maybe it was just some prank. Like, APRIL FOOL'S, Reno! Hahaha!

"Do we have to?" Reno said, crinkling his nose up slightly. He looked up at Rude through disorderly bangs. "I can pick-pocket the next person I see. I swear I won't try any old ladies this time." The old hags had mace.

I wear my sunglasses at night so I can watch you weave then breath your story lines. strong_silent_1 May 14 2006, 23:11:51 UTC
From behind his dark glasses, Rude nodded his head in a serious, mournful manner. Though from an onlooker, he could just be popping a crick, to Reno, the gesture said far more.

He thrust the slightly smudged add in front of Reno's nose, knowing that the red head would otherwise never see it.

Happy workers--! I love my job, he loves his job, pull that leever... redhead_radical May 14 2006, 23:29:17 UTC
Reno pursed his lips, tilting his head back slightly from the sudden assault on his field of vision. "Okay, okay," he sighed, "let's get this over with."

He closed his eyes, lifted his hand, waved his pointed index finger around, and promptly placed the tip down on some random spot on the newspaper. With dread he opened his eyelids a crack...only to find he somehow stopped on an ad looking for a house maid.

Unable to resist, Reno cracked a sarcastic smile. "I know you'd look so good in a frilly French maid's outfit, but we're not gonna take it. No, no, don't try and convince me otherwise."

Reno repeated his "masterful-job-picking-technique" and this time came up with something remotely successful.

"ShinRa?" He thought outloud, peering at the ink he smudged with his finger. He shoved the paper back towards Rude's face. "You read. My brain hurts."

It'll be like the boondock saints, only... legal. strong_silent_1 May 15 2006, 00:00:01 UTC
Rude gave Reno a look that said he recalled the time that Reno did dress up like a french maid at a costume party, and that he was still scarred for life.

"Cloud be worse things." Rude responded, it was a "special forces unit" sort of add, from Rufus ShinRa. Rude dropped the paper to the ground and frowned. "How old is Rufus ShinRa again?" He asked, heading to the address.

Here are the thrill seekers! Corrupt...and immoral redhead_radical May 15 2006, 00:13:53 UTC
"Not old," Reno replied in an obvious tone. Rude could guess that his partner didn't have any freakin' idea. He stuffed his hands into his pockets, following the tall man at a leisurely pace.

Ten minutes into the walk, however, and the redhead was restless. "Where the hell is this place?" Needless to say, Reno was not impressed when Rude relayed the address. "We're going there? To the big fucking mansion? Why didn't you say it was outside of town, man?"

The walk wasn't long, really, but Reno just loved to complain. Rude was very used to it by now and knew the man meant no direct harm.

Shall we start a sing along? "fuck you I'm drunk"? strong_silent_1 May 15 2006, 00:19:53 UTC
Rude looked over his shoulder and smirked. He then, quite deliberately took out a cigarette and lit it, knowing that Reno's pack had gotten soaked in beer the night before.

Like the haze of smoke from the stick, his memory cleared to the night before.

...damn, they may have to actually pay that bar tab one day. Rude shuddered.

Considering Reno will only sing if he's drunk? Yes. redhead_radical May 18 2006, 03:44:36 UTC
Reno lifted one eyebrow, obviously not impressed. He didn't let Rude see that smug victory - ah hellz naw. The redhead ignored the cancer stick entirely, pointing his crinkled nose towards their destination. He couldn't stop the grin forming at the corner of his mouth, though.

Then, as if he forgot where they were headed, Reno glanced down at his attire. They were going to meet with a very important person, right? ...Perhaps, then, they should have come better dressed?

...nah.
