[Rochelle was there among the small crowd for two big reasons. First, she was looking to replace those tired-eyed journalists for what couple be one of the first stories for the news network she was planning with Lois and Snow. And at least for the INN. Shit, Rochelle realized she should have talked to Sam about it when he first announced it to the Network. But by then she was distracted by her other reason.

Ellis.

With a warm coat and an umbrella in her hand just in case, the apocalypse surviving TV producer is wandering among the Memorials. She's part getting ideas and part doing her own remembering... but the remembering is getting more distracting.]

[Joe is here, lingering around to look at a bunch of names...Tifa's, Soul's, Amaterasu, Brooke, Noki... some are names he hasn't even thought about for a long time.

They make him feel empty, to not have them here as friends anymore, even if he still has plenty of other people, good friends, still around.

At least he has memories of his own. He likes the idea of having a place to attach to them also, something which won't just fade away.

Not far off, he spots Rochelle, and looks up from his dispirited melancholy to give a little wave hello.]

[Ro had the same in mind. But at the same time, even if she lost at lot... at least there was something she could hang onto. Right?

When Joe gets her attention at first she's not even looking. Then she notices that little wave out of the corner of her eye. It takes a few seconds to register but she slowly starts to look up. She finally realizes who it is and pauses to give a little wave back. She flashes him a weak smile as she comes up to him.]

Hey.

madeinoblivion January 4 2012, 04:09:44 UTC

Hey.

[He echoes, voice low, when it's on the deliberate quiet side. It feels like a place where people should be... like a graveyard, or church. Which feels awkward.]

...it turned out kinda nice, right?

axemeaquestion January 4 2012, 04:18:17 UTC

Yeah, it did. [Ro nodded. After a pause, she kinda-sorta awkwardly holds up the closed umbrella.] You know, except for the weather.

madeinoblivion January 4 2012, 04:32:57 UTC

[He looks up at the sky with a short sigh]

This is just the first time it's been opened. This place will be around for a long time. There will be sunnier days.

axemeaquestion January 4 2012, 04:48:45 UTC

I know. It just doesn't help me feel like it's not... [A cemetary. But Ro stopped herself as she realized bringing up the comparison to Joe probably wouldn't be a tactful idea.] ... you know what, nevermind. The weather's gloomy, I mean.

madeinoblivion January 4 2012, 04:52:16 UTC

The snow yesterday was nice though, right?

Hey, did you ever find your own magic snowglobe ball...thing?

axemeaquestion January 4 2012, 05:10:09 UTC

Yeah. That wasn't so bad. [Ro crossed her arms in a 'warming up' gesture.] Plus snow it's already as cold as Cleveland in December.

My--[Oh!] Oh. Yeah, I got mine. It's was about what you'd expect. What about you?

madeinoblivion January 4 2012, 06:56:15 UTC

It's cold in our apartment. I wish the landlord let us keep the heat on, all the time.

[Joe shakes his head, scuffing a sneaker against the stones.]

I didn't find it.

[It's not that he really had much interest in keeping it, either... it's that he desperately didn't want anyone else to see how bland, boring and brief a time he existed, between being made and being defeated.]

axemeaquestion January 4 2012, 07:09:33 UTC

He doesn't? Joe, don't tell me you still live in the Tower apartments. [It was a weak joke but it was enough to get her to crack the first, though not the perkiest, smile today.] Sorry about that. Shitty joke, I know.

Oh. [Biting her lip now.] Sorry, sweetie. Would there've been anything interesting in it?

madeinoblivion January 4 2012, 07:25:52 UTC

No, we live near the stadium. But our electric and gas is included, so the landlord'll come up and yell at us if we leave it on all the time. The AC in summer, too.

Nope. [He shakes his head resolutely] But the others were cool. It made Himawari smile.

axemeaquestion January 4 2012, 07:30:17 UTC

Eugh. [It's weak still but Rochelle makes a small face at that.] And I thought I had busybodies for landlords.

That's cool.

[Ro would have added more to that if she was in a better mood for conversation, but she found herself lacking things to say.]

madeinoblivion January 4 2012, 07:37:47 UTC

She's not too nice. But she's let us let other people stay over when the 'code' or something says it's not supposed to be for more than 4 people, so... that's the good thing.

axemeaquestion January 4 2012, 07:45:31 UTC

Mmm, so she's one of those jerks-with-hearts-of-gold types.

madeinoblivion January 4 2012, 07:51:01 UTC

Is that a type?

I think she just doesn't want to pay so much munny for electric. She scowls every time she sees the industrial ice cream machine. She asked me how much watts it uses, and how much we use it.

I told her I had no idea, but that we made a little batch almost every day.

...She seemed sorta mad about that, till we gave her some to take down to her family.
