For Shay. Or Vic. Or whatever.

Aug 29, 2005 18:16

Noon at Ted's apartment. Clearly it's time to make some progress in a video game.

The sun is out - the sky is blue
there’s not a cloud to spoil the view
but it’s raining - raining in my heart

Well, beating the weird puppets and lava spider-scorpions in Devil May Cry is a lot easier with Buddy Holly blasting in the background.

Pleasant music.

He hadn't heard that in awhile. When he stopped carrying a radio for that specific reason, anyway. Just an echo, just a shade to hear, that was nice.

Afternoon, already?

Well then.

There were several questions abound to Vic's current situation. Like, for example, why was he sitting upside-down on a chair while eating pumpkin pie? Where did he get the pie? Why were his pockets filled with plastic sporks?

Confusion abound. But he didn't seem to be raving mad at least. Quirky, at best.

Ted doesn't even notice at first because he's pretty eager to have some rice cakes. Ugh. Stupid health.

Then he blinks. Right. Something strange in his house. Not surprising, but he probaby should acknowledge it.

"I shouldn't even ask, should I?"

"I don't know. Should you?"

Talently, he ate his pie - along with a nice glass of...

Of...

Well, it smelled a whole lot like vinegar. But he couldn't possibly be drinking vinegar, right?

Ted takes the pie and ...vinegar? away from Vic.

"Okay. I don't know what wolves raised you, but they did a craptastic job."

Shayera isn't sure if Ted can shed any light on whatever Big Doom changed the water tower into an ice castle - in fact, she doubts it - but she doesn't really want to admit that she's just visiting for the sake of visiting, so that's her story and she's sticking to it. Plus, since her meeting with Ibn Head, she's been meaning to talk to him. She hasn't decided if she's going to tell him about that (What would she say - "Hey, not to alarm you, but there's a chance I might die if a bunch of superheros can't stop Ra's Al Ghul's latest plan." That's not melodramatic, not at all.) but... it's been on her mind. And there's only so long she can stand having something on her mind before she does something about it.

She's not a very patient person.

And so she arrives at Ted's.

Ted busy 'bwahaha'ing at Devil May Cry. "I knew you'd be back, you damned stupid--"

Then he blinks and looks over his shoulder.

"Er, hi. Shay. Um...I'm yelling at the lava-spider. Not you."

"Why were you yelling at the lava-spider?" Shay asks. She watches the game with some interest. Color TV still makes her do a bit of a double take, and she has one of her own. She's never understood how some people can look at it for so long - but then, her eyesight is different from most peoples'.

_bluebeetle_ August 30 2005, 18:19:58 UTC

"Because it's back again and damnit. Ah well. Died again. Who's surprised?"

Not that Ted actually failed so much as let Dante die because embarrassingly enough he thinks Shay is more interesting than his game.

Sometime, sometime he somehow expected her arrival. Just... he wasn't in a very good position to deal with it.

So he peered out from behind a corner by the kitchen, eyeing at her.

"It looked more like crystal to me than ice," he remarked softly, sounding more tired than he had some minutes ago. Gloves off, so was the mask of course, his fingernails digging into the wall faintly to hold himself up - though it didn't look like he was struggling. Vic liked to consider himself a good actor.

"Hello, Shayera."
