She's always there when I need someone, but... [closed]

Sep 06, 2007 08:37

Caleb is sprawled across the couch on his apartment. It's probably an improvement that he's not crying or anything. However, he's also not really doing anything. He is very :| right now ( Read more... )

yuuko, ic

It's like she has an emo-dar and it goes crazy when she walks past Caleb's place. So that's the reason she barges in and frowns at him.

"Caleb. What are you doing?"

truebornbanacek September 6 2007, 15:00:21 UTC

"Not much of anything, to be honest." The television is on, and he's staring at it, but it's one of those vacant, 'I'm not really paying attention to it' shows. It looks like a really bad monster movie.

And to his credit, he has been doing stuff. Recently, anyway.

"You weren't moping, were you?" She flops down next to him and puts her legs over his.

truebornbanacek September 6 2007, 21:12:57 UTC

"Moping... well, yes, but internally." Oh dear. Yuuko is /touching/ Caleb. Due to a power swap, this means that - unless Yuuko has crazy telepathy barriers - there is two-way mental communcation.

And it is clear that Caleb is WORRIED AS SHIT ABOUT SELENE.

Yuuko does have crazy telepathy barriers, actually! So he won't be able to hear her. But she can hear him, which is a revelation.

"Right. Internally is just as bad as externally. You're still not getting off your butt."

"I am not /right now/. I have been doing things. You can ask anyone in the Sanctuary." This is true, in fact. He hasn't been utterly useless. But there are times when he just doesn't /do/ things.

dimension_bitch September 7 2007, 17:19:11 UTC

"I don't frequent the Sanctuary. In any case, I need to cheer you up." She leans her elbow on the back of the couch.

truebornbanacek September 7 2007, 17:20:56 UTC

This seems doable. Maybe. But probably not with alcohol. "... like doing what?" he asks quietly, but not very enthusiastically.

Poor guy.

"We could try going somewhere! Eat, shop, whatever. Maybe shopping would work, too!" Well, at least one of them would enjoy themselves.

truebornbanacek September 7 2007, 17:30:34 UTC

"Where would we go, Yuuko?" Caleb has very little concept of what things are in the Nexus - like where to shop and where to eat. He gets what he needs and that's it.

dimension_bitch September 7 2007, 17:31:15 UTC

"A restaurant, perhaps? A mall?" She raises an eyebrow at him.

u is a fool!!

truebornbanacek September 7 2007, 17:36:32 UTC

When she says 'a mall', he immediately looks up and shakes his head. "Not a mall. Please. Not a mall." She might not that he is currently thinking about that time he went with Harley to a mall, which is quite clearly leading towards a trainwreck of thought.

dimension_bitch September 7 2007, 18:38:59 UTC

"O...kay. Then we won't go to a mall. What kind of clothes do you like, sweetie?"

truebornbanacek September 7 2007, 19:57:28 UTC

"Um... I do not really know." He looks down at himself - jeans and a t-shirt. They're functional enough for him, and that's really what matters here. (also, they help him blend in better. he gets funny looks when he goes in full Star Adder military regalia.)

dimension_bitch September 7 2007, 19:59:02 UTC

"Oh, sweetheart, that is totally out of line. And boring. We are going to get you new things. Exciting things!"

truebornbanacek September 7 2007, 20:00:25 UTC

Caleb shifts away slightly from Yuuko to attempt to stop transmitting thoughts to her. His thoughts are 'oh god what is she going to dress me in'.

At least it's not *EMO*!
