Outside the MCA, Tuesday Afternoon

Jul 12, 2016 08:16

It had been a week since he'd gotten home, and Sparkle had barely even managed to function since then. Atton had taken off somewhere again, presumably to give him space. Maybe to have some for himself. Hell if he knew. Hell if he knew much of anything, except that gravity was weird here now and apparently something Fandom-fucked-up had happened ( Read more... )

Look, Minako felt like she hadn't heard from Sparkle in aaaaaaaaaaaages, which in Minako-time meant maybe a day or two, or even a few hours without a cute cat picture.

Which was why she was calling him, yes, because a Sparkle-shaped distraction from muggers was sounding like an excellent plan. Ring ring, Sparkle!

myownface July 12 2016, 13:51:45 UTC

This... was probably not gonna be a happy distraction. Sorry, Minako.

"Uh... hey?"

Sparkle hadn't even looked at the caller ID. He was mostly still running on autopilot, so when a phone rang, you answered, right? He liked phones, even. Generally. Most days.

He was fine.

Minako frowned at her phone. That didn't sound right. "Sparkle?" she asked, brow knitting in concern. "Did I call at a bad time? It's not, like, 3am, is it?"

myownface July 12 2016, 15:35:50 UTC

"Huh? No, it's, like, noon." Sparkle squinted up at the sky. There was a sun up there and everything, but with the way the island had been moving around, it was hard to be sure. "I think? Last week it was all stars all the time, and I haven't been sleeping well."

The two things were mostly unrelated.

After spending all of yesterday fixing what he'd managed to do to his apartment, shop, and lab... Tony finally surfaced for air.

And to check out the new planet. You know. From a safe distance until the suit was running at 100% again. (Okay, at 75%.)

"Sparkle."

myownface July 12 2016, 14:24:09 UTC

Sparkle... jumped. Sorry, Tony. It had been a few days since the last time he'd heard another human voice, and you'd think he'd be expecting that after going outside, but...

"Oh. Tony," he said, breathless and still a bit wide-eyed, though he was more kicking himself for jumping than anything, at this point. It was kind of like forward movement, if you squinted. "Um. Hey."

And then he stood there awkwardly. Play it cool? Play it cool.

"... How's it going?"

So cool.

imafuturist July 12 2016, 14:30:20 UTC

Oh, Sparkle. Your lack of chill was reminding Tony of himself at a certain age.

But, be real Tony. You still have none.

"As well as can be," he replied, trying to keep himself from wrinkling his nose at the smell of smoke. "You okay?"

myownface July 12 2016, 14:34:06 UTC

"Yes?"

Sparkle, 'yes' was not generally meant to be a question, like that. You either were okay, or you weren't.

"Kind of?"

Still also not question words.

"I've been worse."

If you'd started with that, you'd probably be able to sell it more easily.

Dante... had walked out of a class full of issues, into a Hyacinthe full of issues, all while trying to avoid his own issues. Frankly, he was starting to think his original plan - to hole up in his dorm room with Anders and a stack of pizzas for the week - had been the better one.

But fuck it. He was gonna keep on walking.

"Yo, Sparkle," he called, as he noticed a familiar figure up ahead. "Smoke break?"

myownface July 12 2016, 15:24:06 UTC

Oh, Dante. If you were hoping to avoid issues, today...

"Smoke break," Sparkle called back, after a pause long enough to actually work up the oomph to do any sort of calling. "Getting my fresh air, you know?"

Coming outside for fresh air was way more effective without the cigarettes, Sparkle.

rebelseekspizza July 12 2016, 15:27:02 UTC

The mun universe was punishing Dante for making fun of Jono's wedding troubles. He was going to conclude that later on. Though not yet.

"Fresh air definitely makes it easier to get the smoke out," Dante agreed, unaware yet of anything weird going on here. "What's up? Haven't seen you in a while."

myownface July 12 2016, 15:33:35 UTC

And there you went, Dante. Stepping right into it, up to the knees.

Sparkle shrugged and offered Dante his cigarette, in case he wanted a drag. Because pfff, worrying about age restrictions was for other people.

"Yeah, I've been out of town," he replied, a master of understatement when he was trying to skirt around basically anything. "There was a... thing? With a friend. In space."

A beat.

"I am so fucking done with space."
