[right now, she needs some time to think -- or maybe "space out" would be the more appropriate term to use here -- so Hartmann is up a little earlier than usual, if still not quite fully awake yet. Armed with breadcrusts, she's parked herself on the edge of the roof, idly feeding some birds which seem to have been chased away from their usual spots

[Have a skinny boy hanging out of a top-floor balcony, flicking bb pellets at noisy parrots. He hears a voice, and calls up.]

This's August now? Not bad, is it. Wouldn't mind if it didn't get any hotter.

sup :>

[lilblackdevil]

You and me both. [not stopping his assault on the parrots, hah]

have a teenboy c:

[Gets one right between the eyes! Snickers at the annoyed yowl it sounds off as it flutters away.] Was May last I checked a calendar. Guess the time's just catchin' up on me.

nostalgia moooode

[lilblackdevil]

Yeah? What had you been doing all this while?

[eatshootsnleves]

Roadtrip! [Beans another parrot! Grins triumphantly up at cute girl.] I'm the drummer for Great Frog. Maybe you heard of us.

[lilblackdevil]

[at least she pretends to make an effort at thinking] Can't say I have. What sort of music do you play?

[eatshootsnleves]

Only the grooviest rock this side of the Mississippi! You'll be hearing all about us pretty soon.

[Leaves off the poor birds to lean back against the balcony rail.] I could take you to a concert. If you were down.

[lilblackdevil]

Sure. Your bandmates are in the castle too?

[eatshootsnleves]

Nahh, but I'll be outta here pretty soon. [Considers the view; starts to scale the wall. Barehanded and barefoot, he places his grip with total confidence and pretty soon he's clambering over the roof edge. Hiya.] They wouldn't know what to do without me, y'know? Think of this like a vacation.

[lilblackdevil]

[just stares as he goes up. That is hardcore] A break'll do good in the long run.

[eatshootsnleves]

[Grins at her stare, because showing off is fun.] That's what I say.

[Holds out a dirty, scraped hand.] I'm Roy.

[lilblackdevil]

[shakes!] Nice meeting you. My name's Erica Hartmann.

[eatshootsnleves]

[Kisses her knuckles lightly] A pleasure, Erica. How long've you been 'round here?

[lilblackdevil]

[have a giggle at that. Such a gentleman~] Close to nineteen months.

[eatshootsnleves]

[Impressed whistle!] That's some vacation. Enjoyin' yourself?

[lilblackdevil]

It's not too bad. [most of the time, anyway] You?
