Summary: Hanging out, giving out keys, and being sad.
Warnings: Dumb Teens, Grumpire, Brian, a lack of symmetry, and anything else.



A hotel--the Norfinbury Inn. By hotel standards, it's not especially large, but it's the largest building in the downtown area. The lobby is mostly empty and seems a bit old-fashioned in design, with what appear to be wooden floors and fairly plain walls. There are a few cozy areas where people can sit, and a fireplace in the center that, while it has no wood, is in perfect working order. The front desk has nothing of note except for all the keycards to the various rooms of the hotel. It looks like there are a total of twenty rooms. There is no elevator--looks like you'll have to use the stairs the old-fashioned way.

There is a small dining room area, although there are no tables or chairs to be found. The room echoes uncomfortably due to its emptiness. It connects to a small industrial kitchen, although there is no longer any food or appliances to be found. It seems like the ovens and stoves were cut out of their places. The sinks still work, at least. There is also a door that unlocks with a management keycard that can be found in the lobby that leads downstairs.

The basement is very simple. It's colder down here than in the rest of the building, and utilitarian in style. There's a small break room, a laundry room that no longer has any of its machinery but does have large rolling baskets for moving clothes in bulk (that refuse to leave the hotel, unfortunately) and some cleaning carts devoid of cleaning supplies (that are just as stubborn as the clothes baskets). There's a small room with space for what must have once been a furnace--and an actual very old-fashioned incinerator. It's not on, of course, but if a fire were started manually, it would still function. There's nothing inside it.

The first floor of the hotel contains rooms 101 to 110. There are five single rooms and five double rooms. All of the plumbing works, though the water runs cold. The second floor, containing rooms 201 to 210, is identical to the first floor, except for one door that has no key, only a note on the front: "All at once, use the keys". There's no place to insert any keys, however.

Tied to the knob of the front door is various eating utensils, nails, screws, and a spare house key. Looks like someone rigged a doorbell to be alerted to newcomers. The fire is going in the lobby, and there appears to be a mattress close to it.

[ Jim casts a look over his shoulder, catching exactly where Zell's eyes are going, as he thinks back to the night before. Getting excited in the lobby is exactly what they don't need to be doing, but... well, Jim can think of one way to prevent that.

Hope Zell's ready to run with two cups of stew, because one minute Jim's walking at a perfectly normal pace and the next he's taking off at a run. ]


Race ya!

[ Jim knows he's going to outpace Zell, even carefully carrying the bed warmer. It gives him time to shove it at the foot of the bed and flop into their pile of blanket and coats from the night before to wait for Zell. He's already got Zell's red coat wrapped around himself by the time Zell gets there. ]

-I win.

[ It's possible Jim was trying to provoke the reaction he's getting - the way Zell pauses and stares has a grin splitting his face. By the time Zell's crossed the room he's already up on his knees, ready to lean into the kiss and make it just a little easier for Zell to - ]

Hey!

[ Oh, it's on now, boyfriend. Jim tugs at the back of Zell's hair indignantly. ]

You're freezing, jerk!

[ Jim grumbles wordlessly at Zell's cold hands, but he's also making absolutely no effort at getting away from them. The tugging on Zell's hair even eases up, though he keeps his hand tangled in it because he likes it. ]

They weren't that bad.

[ Jim tilts his neck back, helpfully, and might've said something encouraging had his stomach not let out a growl loud enough to be heard. ]

-Uh. Break?
rattlingthestars: (123)

[personal profile] rattlingthestars 2016-08-26 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ Jim makes an embarrassed noise into Zell's hair before he goes. He accepts the cup gratefully and pulls his legs up to his chest to eat it, watching Zell over the rim. ]

-Taste okay?

[ Probably silly to care, since it's not as though he did anything but heat it over the fire, and yet... yeah, he cares a little. ]

[ Jim puts a hand over the foot as he sets aside his already empty mug.

...It was the best, and one of the warmest, things he's had to eat in four months. He practically inhaled it. ]


-Good.

[ He leans against Zell automatically, probably only slightly disrupting the whole eating process by poking his nose between Zell's jaw and shoulder. ]

That was one of the best things Silver made, back on the ship. Stew. He was a pretty good cook for a guy who was just pretending.

[ Jim's hands - which had snaked around Zell's front to run up his side - pause in their quest. The question catches Jim a little off-guard. ]

I - [ He wishes he had to think about it, but he doesn't. A half-dozen answers come easily. ] - he told great stories. Sometimes everyone would just sit around after supper and listen to him talk. The network'd be a lot more interesting if he were here.

[ Jim's relieved he's being let off the hook with that. He hadn't meant to bring it up, not right now, and everything about Zell taking off his shirt is more interesting than Jim's past. He'll helpfully grab the ends of Zell's tank to pull it the rest of the way over his head and throw it somewhere in the direction of the nightstand. ]

I think you were going to read to me. [ Or had it been the other way around? Jim doesn't actually care. ]
rattlingthestars: (120)

[personal profile] rattlingthestars 2016-09-01 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Not what I meant.

[ But Jim's not actually objecting, anyway. They've got a bed and they're full and they've both had a bath recently even if it was spectacularly derailed. ]
rattlingthestars: (008)

i apologize in advance for where this is going

[personal profile] rattlingthestars 2016-09-04 11:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ At first, it seems like Jim's all into that idea. But after a few seconds of kissing and exploring, something seems to go wrong and he turns his head away from Zell. ]

-Wait. Stop a second.
rattlingthestars: (046)

[personal profile] rattlingthestars 2016-09-06 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I just.

[ Jim might be laughing. He might be crying. He's definitely less into it than he was a second ago, and Zell can probably feel it. ]

Keep thinking about someone walking in on us. Like Beckett. Or... Brian.

[ That mask.

:C :C :) ]

[personal profile] rattlingthestars 2016-09-10 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Zell's getting a very light shove on the side, but Jim's laughing, too. ]

It's here somewhere.

[ But even if things have cooled off, Jim's still octopus-arming Zell to keep him in place. ]

We'll find it later. It's warm.
