Summer Shenanigans, Wednesday, August 7, 2019

What a beautiful, non-weird day at the park it was!

Shame Anakin was going to ruin that for everyone, huh?

"Right!" he yelled through the megaphone. "Today we have a new and fun team-building game where you will be in groups of four!"

How thrilling!

"You will get matching socks for greater teambuilding!"

...sure?

"And put your feet up in the air so I may rest a bucket on them!"

Anakin, what.

"The first team to remove all of the socks from their feet without dropping the contents of the bucket on themselves wins!"

Anakin, you totally made this game up, didn't you.

"Listen for your names! And no use of special powers to win."

Sorry, folks.

"Hey," Liam's own answering smile was bright, and genuine, although his eyes betrayed that he too was feeling that hint of wariness.

He'd thought, a few times, about stopping by her place, or the flower shop, but... given how their last conversation had went, he'd decided against it. Obviously.

"How are you?"

That was the thing to ask, right? She just didn't get it to sound quite as small talky as most people seemed to be able to. From her, there was sincerity to it.

Which is probably why Liam didn't end up brushing it off with a standard "Fine" or "Good" or something of the like.

"This week? Glad for the reprieve." Last week had been fun, at least, if weird. But there had still been the dread that settled in as Monday approached and he started to wonder what the next week would be. That it seemed to be another mostly-harmless week (for him, as a non seafood lover nor owner of pet fish) was definitely a relief. One that he expected they'd pay for dearly come Monday, but a relief nonetheless.

"Yeah," Octavia said, mild but not dry, for once. "Seems pretty normal for Fandom, doesn't it?"

The caveat, for distinguishing it from other forms of normal, was automatic.
firstofitskind: (are you sure that's a good idea)

"Which at this point has me suspicious about what next week will bring," Liam admitted. "Not a great feeling."

"But a smart one," Octavia noted, shrugging. "I don't think it serves anyone in a place like this to get too comfortable."

Oh, Octavia, ever the optimist.

"Not when the summer's been the way it has." Which was mildly traumatic.

"Yeah," Liam sighed. "How have you been?" he asked. Not pointed, not judging, just... concerned. Rapture hadn't been the only bad week recently.

"Fine," Octavia replied. And she didn't even mean it was a dismissal. It just seemed like the best way to encapsulate a lot of complex things.

Although she softened it up with a shrug. "Better." Since, you know. Rapture.
firstofitskind: (a small smile)

"Good," Liam nodded, a bit of tension seeping out of his posture at that answer. "You end up wearing one of those weird suits last week?" He'd spent a day as a pseudo-Tanuki. It had been hilarious.
okteiviakom: ([neu] yeah that'll suck)

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[personal profile] okteiviakom 2019-08-10 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Octavia shook her head.

"I didn't touch any of the weird stuff."

Just in case. (In case of what? Who even knew.)
firstofitskind: (please listen)

Re: Arrive and Mingle

[personal profile] firstofitskind 2019-08-11 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
... Huh.

That sounded like some of what he'd said to her, the last time they'd spoken, had hit home.

"Probably a wise choice," he admitted. Sure, the weird video game suits had ended up being harmless, but what if they hadn't been? "What about the week that people were turning into monsters?" he added, concerned. That had not been an experience he'd wish on anyone, let alone someone he cared about.

Octavia shook her head again, though there was maybe something a little more evasive about it, this time around. "I didn't go out much."

That had been... the week after Rapture. She'd been busy incessantly playing the drums like it could distract her.

As far as coping methods went, it was about on par with 'head to the gym and destroy some equipment', so. Liam couldn't exactly judge.

"Normally, I'd say it's not good to stay cooped up inside," he said, making a face. "But that week especially, I'm glad passed you by."
