So a short, gangly teenager walks into the bar, pauses, then shrugs and sits at the nearest available table ( Read more... )

At another table, nearby, is another teenager. Not short, really - she's 5'7 - but there was a certain awkwardness when she walked over that suggests a growth spurt, and one where she is still trying to get used to longer limbs. Loose, long-sleeved shirt, the kind one wears to hide.

It matches the way she keeps her head ducked, the grime on her face, and her hair lank.

It matches the bruise on her arm that she can't help but rub, in movements that are stiff and akwward and wanttorungottarun-

Of course, Cam is ever curious, so after a moment, Walter has a pair of bright, curious green eyes watching him.

mm_mono March 25 2009, 04:08:25 UTC

Walter, having not yet hit his final growth spurt, hovers at a mere 5'4-ish.

And while Walter has eyes only for the shirt he's working on, his concentrated look (icon is accurate) should make for good watching.

It will be said in the future that he is 'fascinatingly ugly'. This is also true today.

For her part, Cam hasn't reached her adult beauty anymore than she has reached her adult height. But even though she is still pretty, in a dark way, she's keeping that as hidden as she can, too.

But she's always watching his hands more than his face - there is something calming about hands just doing the same action, over and over with practiced ease.

mm_mono March 25 2009, 04:22:23 UTC

Every now and then, he accidentally pricks a finger, but it doesn't seem to bother him. All part of the learning process, and pain is pretty inconsequential.

Incidentally, his hands look a little rough for someone who's in the garment industry.

Oh, dear me, that is a fascinatingly ugly young man.

... Wait.

Waaaiiiit.

Oh. Oh, lol.

Veidt remembers that face from the news after a certain arrest. Because Veidt owns the media, bitches.

Hi, teen!Rorscahch. This is Veidt loling at you.

mm_mono March 25 2009, 04:23:29 UTC

Sorry Veidt, Walter has eyes and ears only for his broken little experiment shirt. He's getting valuable job experience.

mr_veidt March 25 2009, 04:32:41 UTC

Oh, he'll give you some valuable job experience.

If you know what I mean.

Now if only he wasn't so fascinatingly ugl--I mean. Uh. Mr. Adrian Veidt is now going to approach your table with that smug little smile on his face.

"What are you working on?"

Lalala, just making conversation here. You know. Just checking up on why the normally homicidal sociopath is in his apparent youth innocently sewing.

mm_mono March 25 2009, 04:37:01 UTC

Uh--

Well. This guy looks rich. And smug. Never a good combination.

"A...A shirt, sir."

Meek Walter is meek.

When Dan sees that shock of red hair, he has his glasses off, as he is wiping them on his tie. By the time they are back on, he is already in, 'O HAY THERE WALTER,' mode, although this is quickly transformed into, 'O HAY THERE W

N

N
N

NOT THE WALTER I KNOW,' mode.

Unfortunately, it's a bit late, which is why his greeting comes out as a very loud, and a very awkward, "HI."

mm_mono March 25 2009, 05:36:47 UTC

Walter jumps. And pricks his finger. Again.

"Uhm...me? Sir?"

nooooooaaauugh March 25 2009, 15:37:29 UTC

DD: This leaves Dan looking extremely guilty, but he manages to put on a friendly smile (or something close to it) anyway.

"Uh, yeah - look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. Um, you just look a lot like someone I know."

You ARE someone I know. Whoa.

mm_mono March 25 2009, 16:12:07 UTC

"Someone older than me, sir?"

Walter's never really been compared to anyone in the looks department before. He's intrigued.

A girl in an oversized black sweater walks over cautiously after a few seconds and flashes him a small smile.

"Hello."

mm_mono March 26 2009, 01:22:01 UTC

...Green girl?

It's horribly rude, but he finds himself gaping at her.

Because, green.

trindle March 26 2009, 01:22:53 UTC

That just has the green girl blushing a dark pine across her cheeks and nose.

"...Walter, right?"

mm_mono March 26 2009, 01:25:04 UTC

He nods, shyly.

Still gaping.

Weren't it for the height and the hair and just about everything else that makes the boy different, she would've sworn this was Kanji. The similarity of activities is enough to make her smile, however, and stride up to where he sits out of curiosity.

"Excuse me," she says, politely, but with a gentle authority.

mm_mono March 26 2009, 23:55:06 UTC

Walter starts, lightly, and stops sewing to look up inquisitively.

finally, someone who isn't a girl or an old man

quite_tenacious March 26 2009, 23:56:49 UTC

"I was wondering what you were working on."

el oh el

mm_mono March 26 2009, 23:58:50 UTC

"Oh, it's just--just a shirt. From work."

He's practicing.
