OC Mel / Bar Place

[mm_iii]

There is a tall, skinny woman with hair like a porcupine in a rather lovely red-gold shade, leaf green eyes, exceedingly long limbs, and fine features sitting with a faintly bemused expression on her face as she watches passersby.

She's not Axel.

She just looks kind of like him.

This is Axel.

This is Axel STARING.

That is all.

[mm_iii]

When she sees him Mel returns the stare with wide eyes and the obvious inclination to run like hell.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who the hell are you?" Axel asks, when he manages to find his voice again.

[mm_iii]

"Mel." Mel says, standing up and hunching her shoulders protectively, "And you've gotta be Axel."

He usually goes by Porcupine Head himself, so he notices the girl as he walks into the bar from his usual haunts in Shinjuku. She's cute, and the hair is distinctive, so he gives her a wink and a smile from behind the blue glasses before sitting himself at the bar and ordering... water.

Someone parked in the wrong spot this morning.

[mm_iii]

She smiles back, somewhat wryly, and nods to him. "Water?" it's slightly curious. Who comes to a bar for water?

[just_one_minute]

Someone who's broke.

"It's free," he points out with a sly smile. As if he'd said something secret and dashing.

[mm_iii]

"Oh. That's a point." Mel says, snorting a little, "I spent a long time with that as my reason for ordering things, too."

He knows the difference. He also knows when his wife is upset.

So when William wanders through after work, still in costume, he immediately spots the familiar spikey head and pulls her into a hug. "Hey, sweetheart, what's wrong?"

She curls into the hug and mumbles into his shoulder, "I met Axel."

His arms clench.

"If that bastard tried anything--"

"He said that he knew he should feel bad." and that hurts worse than anything else.
