All Souls [Monday Evening]

Jul 14, 2008 19:15

Bars were not really Chuck's natural habitat. At all. They were loud, often busy, and he had a comparatively low tolerance for alcohol. He was known to claim it was an adverse reaction to neon. Either way, the result was a bit like letting a lone giraffe wander central New York; gawky and somewhat lost ( Read more... )

Lina had been in more than her fair share of bars, and unabashedly flopped down on a bar stool next to Chuck; thankfully, she wasn't in her armor tonight. "You don't go to bars often, do you?" she asked with a smirk.

Chuck jerked his head around to look at her. Jumpy when caught distracted? Definitely.

He gave a short nervous laugh. "I'm having an off day," he joked. "Normally, you know, I would be out there... dancing and drinking and--"

"Yeah, no, not really."

talk2dafireball July 14 2008, 22:16:14 UTC

A laugh. "Thought so," she said with a nod, grinning at him as she leaned over the counter a bit, "Sticking out like a sore thumb, you are."

Chuck grimaced. Normally, Ellie would probably dress him before he went out for these things. This was perhaps proof he'd been living with his sister too long.

"I find it a look that works for me, sometimes," he said, tacking a smile on the end there. "Always a good opener for people."

Lina looked down at her own clothes, the mixture of yellow, white, and magenta that was paired with her fiery red hair and eyes. "Could say the same thing about me too, I suppose," she murmured with a shrug before looking back up at him, "Besides, don't take it personal. Just giving you a rough time." She grinned a bit.

Chuck gave another little laugh. "Don't worry. Not the sort to take extreme offense."

"Chuck Bartowski," he told her, gesturing illustratively toward himself.

"Lina Inverse," replied the redhead, offering a gloved hand, "Nice to meet you, Chuck."

thenerdherder July 15 2008, 00:16:24 UTC

"Nice to meet you," Chuck returned. "Have you, ah, been in this town long?"

talk2dafireball July 15 2008, 00:29:52 UTC

"Only a couple of months or so," Lina admitted, running a hand through her hair, "Can't find a way back home, so..."

thenerdherder July 15 2008, 00:36:56 UTC

"Oh." Chuck was still in vehement denial of the weird goings on. That was unlikely to last now he lived with a wizard, but until then... "You can't just hop a ferry back to New Orleans and go from there?"

talk2dafireball July 15 2008, 00:38:31 UTC

"Nope," Lina replied, "See, I was fighting a demon back home and he tossed me through a space-time rip. I literally crashed here." She frowned. "Hurt too," she muttered.

thenerdherder July 15 2008, 00:40:15 UTC

... "People have a strange preoccupation with demons in this town."

Yeah. Denial. Such a pretty thing.

talk2dafireball July 15 2008, 00:48:23 UTC

"Trust me," she said, "They exist. You're lucky you don't meet them on a regular basis like I tended to back home."

thenerdherder July 15 2008, 01:00:12 UTC

"I've never..." Chuck paused. "Um, we don't get those in LA," he finally finished lamely.
