Woe is Tom (Open)

May 02, 2007 21:32

Tom has decided that the world hates him. Or maybe it loves him? Whatever the case is the universe has an odd sense of humor. Why else would a person from his past and one from his future both decide to pop up within days of one another ( Read more... )

richard, molly

T: *is so tempted to make Richard an Emma Frost fan just so they can have the cliche debate sometime.*

Richard was wandering through, still paging through the script of Twelfth Night. He almost didn't notice Tom at first, but smiled when he did. "Tom! I need your opinion." He stopped when he noted Tom's attitude "...are you quite alright?"

"I don't think so." He looked up rather miserably. "Bridget isn't the only one."

jarndyceheir May 3 2007, 01:53:34 UTC

"Oh." He blinked. "You have another child? Bridget mentioned a brother..."

notallworthy May 3 2007, 01:55:44 UTC

"No! God no. She isn't the only person who knows me from before. Molly is here."

jarndyceheir May 3 2007, 02:01:14 UTC

"Oh. Molly was... ah. How... how is she?"

notallworthy May 3 2007, 02:05:47 UTC

"The same as always." He sighed. "It's good. I'm happy, but...it's Molly."

Typist: He heard?

jarndyceheir May 3 2007, 02:09:46 UTC

"Molly isn't, erm, Bridget's mother, then? Or likely to be, since I suppose you don't really know."

T: It wouldn't be Richard if I didn't give him more reasons to be awkward. But he had just assumed she was a random person from the Mansion, and was not going to bring it up if Tom didn't. Because he's Richard.

"I don't think so. You see, she's already....she still is..." He let his head fall forward onto the table. "But it isn't mine." It was rather muffled by the comic book.

Richard came to his side and put his hand on Tom's shoulder. "Tom... you aren't making much sense."

notallworthy May 3 2007, 02:18:56 UTC

"She is with child."

jarndyceheir May 3 2007, 02:23:31 UTC

"Ah. But another man's." Awkward. "Does she love him?"

notallworthy May 3 2007, 02:27:14 UTC

"I do not think so. She loves me." Poor Tom was actually starting to believe her again.

jarndyceheir May 3 2007, 02:32:18 UTC

"She wasn't... I mean, he did not take advantage of her, did he?"

notallworthy May 3 2007, 02:34:05 UTC

"I don't know. She never spoke of him."

jarndyceheir May 3 2007, 02:39:05 UTC

"Oh, the poor girl." He tilted his head. "Well... you said you were happy. But you'll forgive me for mentioning that you don't especially look it, at present."

notallworthy May 3 2007, 02:42:51 UTC

"I am. See?" The smile didn't quite reach his eyes.
