[Nathan is hanging out at a bar, just waiting for the chance to take advantage of today's curse. Judging by the bright pink lipstick smear up his face and his smug grin, he's already been successful at least once. Or... just once. But that's not something he's about to admit.]

They really should have curses like this more often.

[There's a

[Fear not, Angela. The Bottomless Pit is here. Nathan drops into the seat opposite her, helping himself to her food.]

People actually buy salad from these places? I always thought the whole point was to be as unhealthy as humanly possible.

[immortaltwat]

[Nathan pulls his hand back immediately, clutching it with the one she didn't attempt to mutilate.] Ow!

It's a public place. Do I have to have a reason?

[ruthless_hunter]

[Nathan might not be affected, but Lockdown sure is! And an expert tracker like him has no problems with finding his new favorite meatbag in the shopping district. He parks and switches on his holoform, slowly creeping up behind Nathan and clasping a strong hand on his shoulder.]

action;

[immortaltwat]

[Nathan screams and tries to twist away. His immediate thought is that a security guard has noticed his less than subtle theft of some chocolate bars and a novelty pen he picked up for the hell of it. Lockdown... really isn't much of an improvement.]

What are you doing here?

[ruthless_hunter]

[He keeps his hand on Nathan's shoulder.]

What, can't I say hi to my favorite meatbag?

action;

[immortaltwat]

[Well, this is uncomfortable... he just hopes nothing happens that will set off the effect of this curse.]

You can say hi. I'd just prefer you keep to greeting me from a respectable distance.

[craaaaaaaazy8s]

[So this is totally after the bar because she's too young to be in a bar. She's just wandering around the City boredly when she spots someone she pesters quite a bit over the Network.

Oh, it's too much to pass up the chance to hassle him in person. So expect a troll tapping on your shoulder, Nathan.]

Hey, wriggler.

[immortaltwat]

[Nathan is idly observing passersby and enjoying a cigarette when she taps his shoulder.] Oh, hey.

[He takes another quick drag, then offers the cigarette over to her. Because obviously that's an acceptable thing to give to give to a 13 year old.] You know, so far as pick up lines go, that's pretty bad. Even I wouldn't go for that one.

action;

[craaaaaaaazy8s]

It's called a greeting! I didn't think you were that dumb.

[She takes it, a little curiously. Because let's face it, she has no idea what it is. She'll mimic what she saw Nathan do before scrunching her nose and dropping it.]

Gross!

action;

[immortaltwat]

Wriggler's a greeting where you come from? And you say I have no shame.

Hey! [Yeah, he's just going to retrieve that as quickly as possible.] You're supposed to give it back, not drop it. Do you have any idea how expensive these things are?

[orangetoughguy]

Man is this the only way you get any action?

video; :( And there I was thinking he was going to score.

[immortaltwat]

Of course not! [Because there are other curses. And Dulcie.]

I'm just trying to get a little extra, that's all.

[orangetoughguy]

So you're greedy?

[immortaltwat]

Hey, just because you can't get any.

[Presumably, at some point, he's going to return for feeding and watering, and Eden is there, making a sandwich]

action

[immortaltwat]

[Of course he is. And he's just going to do what he always does when he's hungry and someone's making food and hover just behind her.]

Are you making one for me?

[eiremagic]

[She raises both eyebrows]

Should I?

[immortaltwat]

[He looks at her like the answer should be the most obvious thing in the world.]

Well, I'm here, aren't I?
