03 ▌action around splenda

[creepinginmy]

[It's night time. Very much past many of Splendor's resident's sleeping hours, in fact. One man has been wandering the less crowded streets with sweat on his forehead and under his eyes. His hair is dirty, his clothes are disarranged, old, ripped in places. He looks like he's been walking for hours, either trying to go somewhere to get away from

[ It's late, but York takes to wandering at weird hours, too, just to stop boredom. It's not the island he's used to, and it's not home, and everything just gets boring after a while, which makes it harder to sleep.

When he sees the guy wandering, though, he pauses, not quite sure what to make of him. ]

--Hey, you okay?

[creepinginmy]

[He's anything but graceful when he comes to a stop, staring right into the other man's eyes. Jack swallows, tense, irritated, nervous and impatient. His fingers are curling and uncurling inside his jacket's pockets.]

That isn't any of your business, is it.

[howkickassiam]

[ raiiising his eyebrows, lifting his hands up. ]

Just a concerned question, didn't mean anything by it.

[creepinginmy]

Go offer your concern to someone who needs it, then.

LMFAO most short-lived thread.

[howkickassiam]

[ Okay, negative nancy, he'll roll with it. ]

Right, because you seem entirely okay.

[ still, he's turning, willing to leave you alone, herp. ]

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK

[creepinginmy]

[He's about to feel a hand on his shoulder, force masked as an invitation to stay. The exhausted and bitter expression has been replaced with something considerably less emotional.]

Sorry. That was terribly rude of me.

LMFAO

[howkickassiam]

[ Whoa, bro, bi-polar much? York ducks and slips back when the other man touches him, frowning just a little bit. ]

No problem. You uh. Seemed awfully distracted, so.

[creepinginmy]

It happens.

Got a name?

[howkickassiam]

Just York.

[ he slips his hands into his pockets, giving him a little nod. ]

What about you?

[creepinginmy]

Jack. [Except this isn't Jack right now! But York doesn't have to know that.] Nice to meet you, York. There a reason you're walking around so late?

[howkickassiam]

[ LOL PROBABLY BEST ]

Boredom? Not a whole hell of a lot to do, here, sometimes, it seems.

[creepinginmy]

Shame, isn't it? [His eyes are scanning him repeatedly. Who knows why.] A place like this ought to know how to entertain us.

[howkickassiam]

[ he looks like a fairly normal guy, save for the scarring on his left eye, and the fact it's clear he can't see out of it with how damaged it is. The most interesting thing about him is he normally has an AI and was on ~creepy magical sex island ~ ]

Suppose that's what the wishes are for, huh? What's more entertaining than gummi bears whenever you want 'em?

[creepinginmy]

[LMAO CREEPY MAGICAL SEX ISLAND]

[Cerbos quirks an eyebrow at that, quickly dismissing it with a shrug, pursing his lips with a glance to the side.]

I could think of other things.

[like sinking my teeth into people's skin whenever I want it

I mean]

'You usually walk around by yourself?

[howkickassiam]

Like not being here?

[ wry, tone understanding. ]

--well, not like I need an escort. [ he grins. ] Could be a hell of a lot worse.

[creepinginmy]

Company's supposed to make it a little more fun, though, isn't it?
