[log] double meetup bonanza [closed]

Characters: Davesprite, Karkat, and the Cat, plus Steph and then Ecks and Castiel
Location: Building 263, then building 254.
Date: Day 246, midday then evening.
Summary: A bird, a crab, and a cat play courier to a super hero and a quilt person. Also, an angel is there.
Warnings: Discussion of/allusion to anomaly murders.

263: A small office building. It's the sort that looks like it should attach to some larger facility, but whatever it might have connected to is long gone. It's two stories: the first contains a small lobby area, a waiting room, and an area for secretaries. Going upstairs reveals a small honeycomb of eerily empty cubicles. There are desks and chairs in each one, but nothing on any desk or placed on any of the cubicle walls. There's one small one-person office in the back that's similarly empty, and two public bathrooms that work, though the water runs cold. On the wall by the desk in the one-person office, a drawing that says "I love you, Daddy!" has been adhered with cat stickers. "ALPHONSE ELRIC, DAY TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO. IF YOU NEED ANY ASSISTANCE, PLEASE CALL @LELRIC." has been written on a wall.

254: This skyscraper is half-ruined: the top of it has clearly collapsed. Still, it's large enough to work as a landmark, what's left seems stable enough, and the doors still work. Going inside reveals a fairly standard-looking lobby. The marble floors were probably pretty once, but are now dusty and cracked. Any signage indicating what this building was for is long-gone, and instead graffiti speaking of the prophet and eye symbols dot the walls.

The elevator shaft and the door to the stairs both open, but there's no elevator car, so it's best to take the stairs. Most of the doors here are ruined, crushed by rubble and debris and impassable, though there wouldn't be anything of use in crushed floors anyway. The top floor, however, is intact, and stepping in reveals what was probably once a floor for offices, though now everything is empty. There is a symbol of the prophet drawn in red paint on the floor by the door, and then a line that can be followed in one of three directions. Each one leads to one of the three skybridges in this building.

I have always thought so.

Having people is good, though, too. I like that also.

[personal profile] absentconstellation 2017-07-01 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Having people is much preferable. What is important is the ability to survive when one must.
ecks: (expressive!)

[personal profile] ecks 2017-07-02 06:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I have that ability. Doctor House does not.

I do not believe it is the ability that is lacks, but rather the desire.

[Ecks is silent for a long, long moment.]

I know, and that is worse.

[ His purring quiets, but doesn't stop. ]

It is good that he has you to worry for him. Those without connections give in more easily to despair.

I am going to get his harmonica back from Alfie Solomons.
absentconstellation: (curious look)

[personal profile] absentconstellation 2017-07-04 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You believe that will help?

[ His tone isn't condescending, just curious. ]
ecks: (expressive!)

He was happy when I gave him the harmonica. He likes music.

A valuable venture, then. Do you have a plan to take it back?
ecks: (blank stare | default)

[personal profile] ecks 2017-07-06 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
When I next see Alfie Solomons I am going to hit him with a shovel.

[It's not a very active plan. She does have actual priorities and this doesn't top her list.]

I offered him a deal because I do not want to spend the time it will take to hunt him down and because I do not want to hit him with a shovel as much as I want to take the harmonica back, but he did not take the deal. I told him I would not interfere with him or hit him with the shovel if he gave me the harmonica, but he refused.

[personal profile] absentconstellation 2017-07-06 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
How do you intend to get him alone?
ecks: (thinkery)

[personal profile] ecks 2017-07-10 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. He knows I want to hit him with a shovel, so he is unlikely to agree to meet me alone a second time. I am not sure how violently Royce Melborn will react if I hit Alfie Solomons with a shovel where he can see.
absentconstellation: (handsome kitten)

[personal profile] absentconstellation 2017-07-10 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Likely very violently. I understand he is very attached to Alfie Solomons, and also very violent.
ecks: (looking up)

[personal profile] ecks 2017-07-14 03:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. One time Royce stabbed me in my shoulder, but he stopped when I hit him in the solar plexus with a shovel. I have a scar.
absentconstellation: (shleepy cat)

[personal profile] absentconstellation 2017-07-14 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I would advise you to avoid that sort of thing, moving forward.
ecks: (expressive!)

[personal profile] ecks 2017-07-24 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
I intend to avoid that sort of thing moving forward. I did not intend to be stabbed when it happened.
absentconstellation: (squint)

[personal profile] absentconstellation 2017-07-25 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Good. Then you should try to get Alfie alone.
ecks: (blank stare | default)

[personal profile] ecks 2017-07-25 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
That will be difficult, but I will try whenever I am near where he is again.
absentconstellation: (magic eyes)

[personal profile] absentconstellation 2017-07-25 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He nods approvingly. ]

You are a good girl, Ecks. I should hate to learn that you have died for a grudge.
ecks: (looking up)

[personal profile] ecks 2017-07-30 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
You are good cat, Cat.

[She's content to lapse into silence and go on petting him almost indefinitely, should he also be willing.]
absentconstellation: (actually sleeping)

[personal profile] absentconstellation 2017-07-30 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And he is content to purr, and eventually fall asleep. ]
