WHO: Greed and Zoe w/ Digger
WHEN: May 16 [Backdated]
WHERE: Greed and Digger's offices
WHAT: Zoe just realizes she quit her job
WARNING: None
Note: The log reads backwards
"I'll get you a cup of coffee. Come on. That will be my treat." It might be the last few dollars he spent and that was okay. He didn't mind. Because when it came to Greed and Zoe, Digger was flat out weak. He wanted to make them happy as much as he could, and focusing on Zoe's bad day maybe his wasn't so bad.

"Yeah, but it's worth it." she swung her legs back and forth and said, "I can go with you while you get coffee." she pointed to herself, "Jobless, remember?" she may have a boyfriend with money but she never would rely on that.

"Sounds like a lot of work." Something Digger sometimes failed to be good at as he became a bit slothy with his work ethics. He looked at the clock. "Want to go get some coffee or something?" Because he really didn't feel as reared to go with his stack of work. Ever since the whole people getting laid off thing, he'd kind of been waiting for his boot out the door any day now---and it never came. Which also might have something to do with Greed.

"It takes a looooot of trial and error. Like, I don't say NO you can't sleep with other girls! I tell him, honey you can sleep with other girls but if you do then I won't be your girlfriend anymore. It's a way of saying do what you want but I'm gonna do what I want too then and what I wanna do might not be something you like if you do something that I don't like." she wrinkled her nose knowing it was confusing, "I don't know, but I'll figure something out."

"How the hell do you do that?" Zoe had more practice than he did, and he had a long ways to go yet for sure. He groaned and looked back up at her. "So, what are you going to say to him?" He was almost worried.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 7:11 PM Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe patted him, "You don't hate him and that's the problem. And you know, you CAN say no, you just have to say no without actually saying no. You'll learn. If you decide to stay friends with him."

"No wonder he has that face. I'm doomed to do whatever he wants just looking at it." Greed knew how to use his charms, even when he didn't intend to. Digger just laid his head down on the desk with another long, drawn out sigh. "I hate him."
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 6:43 PM Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"I knoooooow....." she said with a whine and a smile then kissed Digger's temple cause she knew what it was like to be unable to resist Greed, and unable to let him go even when he drove you crazy.

What was life like before Greed? Digger had it pretty good, but he didn't ever have a friend like that. Greed was exactly everything he ever wanted to be, everything he looked up to, everything he'd ever hoped to have in a friend----and it was right there, he was just blinded by all the immortal jargon. "Damn his fat, cuddly Labrador face." Digger sighed, feeling like Zoe had defeated him with that statement.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 6:37 PM Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe thought about it and then said, "I had to remember all the good that made the bad worth it. He fucks up a lot but when he doesn't..." she shrugged, "I just love him and I learned to ride the waves or I'd get left behind and I'm not willing to not have him in my life." and it was a decision Digger ahd to make too.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 3:34 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"How did you get used to this?" Digger's voice actually sounded strained. It was stressing him out living with Greed. This was going to help them both. He just didn't know how to get out of his own head and back to the one that was just friends with his buddy.
On Saturday, May 21, 2016, Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"Yeah... but that's just who he is. It takes time to get used to it. And even then.. it's hard but distance might make you guys remember how much fun you have and how much you care about each other. it'd worked before for her and Greed and Greed kinda functioned the same with Digger that he did with Zoe, he just wasnt used to people who cared about him. This might work.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 1:54 PM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"That came out so wrong. I feel like I have whiplash when he goes from hot to cold so quickly." She did make it sound like a breakup. But maybe they both did need the distance.

"Do YOU have multiple personality disorder when you feel happy and then get bad news and feel sad?" she countered, "He just feels things at a more intense level and doesn't try to hide it." she shook her head, "You don't make that conversation, he'll be really hurt if you do. Let me talk to him. But.. I think this will be good for both of you. To see what your worlds are like without each other." and she had a feeling that Digger would miss his best friend and maybe even learn to appreciate his weirdness, it'd been a long time since Digger had been alone like he used to be and Zoe wanted him to remember that it hadn't been a happy time for him.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 11:22 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"Does he have like multiple personality disorders or something?" He understood. Hell, his apartment was nonexistent with Greed in it right now. "I do feel like he's taken over my apartment." And yet it still wasn't Greed's. Digger's world AND Greed's just got bigger than either of them knew how to handle. "So, how do I make that conversation? Hey you have to get out of my apartment?" Then Greed would feel abandoned.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 2:16 PM Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
"It's still Greed, he's just... lost. He needs a place to live, his OWN place, it's how he functions and processes and filters things. And guess what, so do you and I. It's a normal thing to go home and unwind in your own space and he doesn't have that right now. Plus he has a crazy girlfriend with a crazy family that he has to deal with. We've been together for years but he's still getting used to how to care for others." then she nodded, "Yes. Well. Not break UP, just... take a break. Don't start seeing other best friends or anything."
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 11:13 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"So who's this other person we're seeing?" He sat back in his chair, squeezing his stress ball in one hand. Digger didn't really get that Greed had so many different faces, that sometimes when things became shaky in his own world, they all started to meld together and it was hard for Greed to even be himself. He was mentally under a lot of stress since the fiasco with flooding his apartment.
"You want me to break up with him?" Because that's what it sounded like.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 2:10 PM Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe looked at Greed's office and back to Digger, "As crazy as it sounds... no. That isn't dark. That's not happy but dark is when he tried to physically hurt me, like actually break me. It was bad. And sometimes he isn't the man I love, he's this... other person. But it just takes time to kinda learn how to ride his waves. I don't blame you in this, I think you're both at fault. He's being a jerk to you but you're also acting like you don't know him. I think the two of you might.. need a break from each other. So you can miss each other." the problem was they were constantly hanging out at work.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 11:05 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"And that there isn't dark?" He asked? Pointing into the air to indicate Greed. It had been a different experience living with the guy. There were rituals Greed went through every morning, the way he was laughing one minute and not the next. It was like talking to a two year old sometimes, and Digger just had his own messes. "I don't not treat him like my friend on purpose. Sometimes it's easy to slip into and other times I'm trying to figure out who it is I'm talking to." Greed flipped around like a ping pong ball. "Sometimes it doesn't seem like it's my friend I'm talking to." So she couldn't put all the blame on him.

"Sometimes I wish I didn't know too, about others... with Greed... he told me after our second kiss. He doesn't announce it to people and for me, it was a privilege that he trusted me with his secret. And I won't lie, he's capable of a lot of terrible things. He's hurt me before and I don't just mean emotionally. There was a time when he went really dark and I couldn't even be physically next to him for a while after that because I was scared and hurt. But I had to see how much good was in him too. How much he loves me, how good he can be and supportive, how he'd die for me.You have to just forget about all the other immortals and focus on dealing with your best friend and the crazy that comes with him. Everyone else..." she waved a hand, "Doesn't matter."
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 10:55 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"Maybe I wish I didn't know." There. He'd finally said it. Knowing all this stuff he did, it was kind of cool, but sometimes it had it's toll. He didn't really know how to deal with it. It wasn't some running gag he could get past, it was something very real and he was still struggling. "Unlike you, I'm still on my training wheels when it comes to all of this. I don't know what he's capable of. I don't know what's out there when I go out on the street." He was accepting of it, but he was also a little unsure.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 1:52 PM Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She put a hand on his arm, "Let me be in denial over my problems, okay." she didn't want to deal with her own life, so she was focusing on Digger's. "And I'm not saying it's right that he's being an ass, Im saying you're not helping. yes, you're letting him stay there but like.. in his office just now, you have this look on your face like you don't know who he is anymore. Like he's not your best friend but some... rabid alien lion that might attack you."
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 10:50 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com>wrote:
Digger sat down beside her and had that worried look on his face. "You just quit your job and you're defending Greed being an ass to me?" They all needed to take a breather. "He's staying in my apartment. Isn't that what friends do when their best friend floods his own apartment?" He didn't know he always looked scared or worried what might happen. There were a lot of immortals popping up all over the place. A few weeks ago he'd talked to Helen of Troy's daughter. So, maybe he kind of still didn't know how to process it.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 1:46 PM Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe said, "I don't think he is. Well, not with his action figures in it." she looked at Digger and rubbed his arm as she sat down in a hard plastic chair next to his in his cubicle, "Digs... I know he's being an ass to you still but... I don't think you're helping things. You don't really treat him as a friend anymore." she'd seen the way he kinda treated Greed like a wild animal. Always wary, always unsure.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 10:42 AM, Lauren Christensen <prettykozi@gmail.com>wrote:
Greed didn't have his own place anymore. He didn't have his sanctuary, his space to be at one with himself or whatever the hell one would call it. His fort had been blown to smithereens and this was as close to his own space as he had right now. And that was quickly being flooded with everyone else. He had a roommate again (which Greed never did well in sharing spaces with other people including Zoe), so this was his reflection time. His new fort that he would rather not be invaded. He was overwhelmed and he was about to crash.
Digger followed Zoe out of the door with that confused look on his face. "He's not going to burn the building down is he?" Greed had that I want to hurt something face, and yet still looked like a cuddly rabbit. Damn his appealing face. "You can chill in my cubicle." He didn't have the fancy padded office that Greed did.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 1:35 PM Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe knew Greed was just... he was going to explode if he got anymore in him so she went over, gave him a hug and a kiss and said, "I'm gonna sit in the main office area, okay?" just to give him some space which she knew he needed. She wished she could stay in his office but she didn'tthink it wise right now.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 10:33 AM, Lauren Christensen<prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
His brain was still on it's hamster wheel as he continued to look between them. He was floating somewhere between being Greed, a boyfriend, friend and his work face. He kind of didn't know which pin to stick in first. He still had the map and looking for the right target spot. He was in his office space and he was distracted. All Greed could do was give Digger the 'you have to leave now' face. "Don't you have work to do? We'll think about that when we clock out." He was spinning and spinning with no moment to stop. Zoe had overloaded him.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 1:28 PM Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
She leaned her head against Digger's and looked at Greed, "You're being kinda a butthead whenever you're around Digger. But I promised I'd let you work so after work, since I don't want to think about my life, the three of us will go out."
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 10:26 AM, Lauren Christensen<prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
Greed looked up with a quizzical expression. "Why?" He looked at Digger and than back at her. "No one's jumped out of the window yet. I'd say I'm in a good mood. Do I need to reconsider?" He was still being harsh with Digger without meaning to. They used to all be like the Three Musketeers, and now Greed hadn't completely warmed up to it again. He still held his teeny, tiny grudge where Digger was his lap dog and not his best friend.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 1:23 PM Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe gave Digger another hug and said, "I quit my job, my Dad has some problems... Greed is being a supportive boyfriend that's all." she kept an arm around Digger's neck as he asked his question then looked at Greed, "Hey babe, you in a good mood?"
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 10:21 AM, Lauren Christensen<prettykozi@gmail.com> wrote:
"I dunno. I just thought something had happened and all. I wasn't insinuating, I was just asking. I mean..." and he inched closer to Zoe to whisper, "Is he in a good mood?" He hadn't quite figured them out yet, and being that he had a new roommate these days, he thought he was on pins and needles.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 12:52 PM Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe pulled back in the hug and raised her brows at Digger, "Why would it be a bad talk?" as if her and Greed's constant fights and breakups and crazy lives weren't there.

Digger slid out of the most comfortable chair he'd ever sat in, and back to his feet to give Zoe a hug while Greed reset his figurine on his desk. "Was this a good talk or a bad talk?" Digger asked Zoe. Greed had since sat back in his chair arms stretched out and ready to work.
On Sat, May 21, 2016 at 12:40 PM Lucky L. <neverluckymore@gmail.com> wrote:
Zoe gave Greed a look and smacked him lightly on the stomach with the back of her hand, "Okay DAD." since he sounded like such a parent. She smiled brightly at Digger, "Hey Digs!" happy to see more friendly faces and she went over to give him a hug.

He held her hand up until he got to his office, where Digger was sitting in his chair, playing with one of the many figurines on the desk. Greed's mouth dropped into an 'o' shape and he pointed at Digger. "Put the Catwoman down." Digger looked like a kid with their hand in the candy jar. He sat it down on the desk and Greed corrected him. "Back where you found it."

She felt that heat, her face a little flushed when the kiss broke, "I think breaktime is over..." she said only to remind him they were in his building and he was at work. She did kiss his cheek tho before they'd go back to his office.

He returned that kiss with a little heat. He didn't want to keep this conversation going or it would make him more mad with himself. If he did that, the cafe register would be more than just a few dollars short from the clerk.

She chuckled softly and kissed his fat bottom lip and said quietly, "I rather you not too.." and she nuzzled his nose again, her lips searching his for a kiss. A good reminder of what a distraction she could be at work.

"I wish you would." His bottom lip poked out the more she rubbed it in his face. She was incredibly rude. He closed his eyes. "I'd rather never do that again."

"For you yes, since you were trying to play barbies by using us." she kissed him and said, "Okay... just as long as you promise to remember I love you." yeah she said it and he'd feel sick but it was something that needed to be said. Yes zombie Greed could give her marriage and kids, or even live with her but he couldn't give her anything else the real Greed could.

She smiled a little and said, "No, but I've had sex with zombie you and I'm pretty sure it's worse." he could be mad at her for it but he was the one that orchestrated it, trying to play barbie dolls.

He looked at her for the longest time (and she was holding his face), his hands sliding back down to her hips. His lips pursed a little as if she could see straight through him. He wondered if his shell had those same eyes that she seemed able to read. "Have you seriously eaten sawdust cake?"

She put her hands on his cheeks and made him look at her, "You know I didn't even like him. He had your icing but he was the dullest sawdust cake. He wouldn't have offered to pay my rent.

"Let's not go there..." that was a bit of a touchy subject. He'd made leaps and bounds since returning, but he still wasn't completely set back into place to the Greed he was when he left. Part of him still questioned if she loved that Greed more.

"I dream about me doing things to you. And you doing things to me." He looked down at her with slit eyes. "Are you saying to want two Greeds? Or are you saying Me and little Greed." Because the idea of sharing her with himself was never going to fly, even if there were two of him.

She laughed softly cause he was so nuts, "Okay in that little crazy scenario, if I lose weight so you don't have anything to grab onto, wouldn't YOU not want to fuck ME?" she shook her head, "I'm not letting you pay for my apartment.

He shook his head, this horrible senario completely worked out in his head and it was the worst outcome ever. "So, I can pay for it until you find something better."

"I don't have a place to pay rent to right now." It was within his budget. Her rent was considerably lower than anything he ever paid for his apartment. "I know what it feels like to lose your space." Something she'd commended him for giving up to keep her. He wanted her happy.

Greed took a deep breath. He could fix this with his own money, considering he wasn't leading out his own apartment right now. "No you're not. I can pay it for now." He just couldn't live in it with her. He wasn't going to let her lose it, fuck knows that always made him a wreck. She was the only damn thing keeping HIM afloat. He wasn't going to crush her and crush himself in the process.

She kissed his pout because of course he was worried about her looks at a time like this. She nodded when he said he couldn't live with Morgan and she knew that. She looked at the ground and just said in the saddest voice ever, "I"m going to lose my apartment..." letting her head fall on his chest.

He poked her curvy hip. "Don't go getting too skinny on me..." He pouted as if that were the worst thing thatcould happen right now. They were both a little lost and him without a place of his own still. "I can't live with your lesbian roommate." He'd murder her in her sleep.

She hugged him and shook her head, "No, your family will suck you into it too and I want to keep you and your stuff safe." she sighed, wishing they all could just run away. She looked at him and asked wistfully, "You sure I can't kidnap you? Just a little bit?" but she'd never push him to miss his job, she knew he loved it. She was just so lost right now.

"We got a big gig coming up at work. I can't just...zoom out of here." He worried when she talked likethat. It made him think she was gonna take a maiden voyage clear across the country and do thatCalifornia thing now. He didn't want to leave and he didn't want her to leave too. "Fuck Poseidon. Let me sick Lust or Envy after his ass." Lust probably wanted some new dick to play with. This would be her golden ticket.

She kissed the side of his mouth, "Yes. But we also need a plan..." she wrinkled her nose, "I don't supposed you'd consider running away with me and my dad for a little while until Poseidon isn't so mad?"

His hands hs slipped down to her waist, hugging that curvaceous frame. He didn't want her to get so depressed and anxious that she started slimming down, he liked all her round edges. "Fuck that fat ugly fish." Greed was mad about it for sure.

"I think that it would start a war. I've seen reports that Zeus is back in town and he may not like his older brother but they're like your family. It doesn't matter if you don't like them, someone hurting one means you have to go to war because that's what you do." she rested her head on his shoulder, "That's why my dad just keeps doing his bidding, so Poseidon doesn't have a reason to torture him or me or you."

"Someone needs to kill that fucker." Though he knew full well it wouldn't matter. Poseidon waslike him. It was a shame Medusa didn't turn his ass to stone. "Think things would really be off balance of we turned him to sea foam?" He didn't know if that was possible either. Greed took it personally, because as of right now Theseus was his stand in parent.

"I know..." she said softly, "I think he still feels guilty from when Poseidon broke my arm and he just watched." she thoguht about it and said, "I told him that he shouldn't do this if it makes him feel so icky and if it was to protect my job then I quit. I didn't want him to hide behind thatas a reason so I took it away. And I told him that he should tell his dad he doesn't want to do it. And I'd like him to quit but he said if he does, there's going to be consequences, he thinks Poseidon will go after him or go after me to get to him."

"I bet that's not the only thing he was protecting." Theseus wanted her safe. "So what's Theseus gonna do now?" As if Greed was gonna march up to him and lecture him on what he should do. Greed had grown a odd sense of possessiveness over his probable father-in-law. So when Poseidon pitched that hit, Greed felt it too.

"No!" she said with such worry, "I want you to stay away from Poseidon, okay? He took your job, your car, and almost your apartment last time. Our relationship became awreck." she kept her arms around him and said, "My dad did it because Poseidon told him if he didn't, he'd fire me and if I lose my job, I lose my mom's apartment." and tho she'd never really said it, she didn't have to, both men knew how special the cozy apartment was to Zoe, especially after she lost her locket. It was all she had left that washer mother's.

He ate up all those kisses. He reveled in them. If he could bask in heavens light, thiswas it for sure. And the came the rest of her story which just made him angry. "And Theseus just did it?" He knew how persuasive Poseidon could be even on an immortal and he'd hoped someone had stamped him in his place. Instead he got worse. "Want me to harpoon Poseidon's dick to the sea floor?"

When he wasn't the one hurting her, he was very tender with her and it calmed the cyclone of nerves she had going on inside. She kissed him like the hero he was to her and stayed in his arms, feeling safe from the crappy world. When she felt calm enough to continue she said, "He has my dad spying on Medusa... that's the ladythat turns people to stone. Being immortal won't make a difference."

Squeezing did the trick this time. She wasn't completely falling apart now. He loosened his grip a little so she could move around, but since that time she waschased down by a demon dog, he liked being her hero. She needed him for more than just his pretty face or his dick and that had become important to him.
He brushed the hair out of her face as he wiped her cheeks with his fingers. He stared her in the face before she started kisses.

She sniffled after a minute or two, her tears not as much as she wiped her face and let out a breath. She looked at him and how sweet he was being and the thought that Poseidon might do something to him again because of her and her family. She just kissed him sweetly as if it somehow was enough to make up for all of it.

He squeezed her tighter when she seemed to leak more. In his head the harder he squeezed, the less she would cry. It was at least a theory and it worked sometimes.

Being in his arms was the best medicine for her ailment. She was just asensitive baby seal and the lunch with her dad had over whlemed her. She stayed in his arms and finally let herself cry to get out the fears and worries she had while she was in a safe space. She wasn't bawling, she just needed a release and he provided a safe space for that. She didn't trust anyone else to be that for her, just him.

Greed took the phone out of her hands and pulled her to her feet so he could let her crumble against him. There was so much pride that he could be this strong barrier for her fears and her tears. When she crumbled it did something nasty inside ofhim, it made him twist and contort his organs until everything waspractically swinging off of its own mobile. He hated that feeling.

She put her phone down when she saw his legs in front of her and looked up at him. She was on the verge of falling apart and now thathe was here, there was a sense of relief on her face as she just wanted a hug before they continued this conversation.

"Your dad is immortal. Pretty sure he could take a hit or two." But he knew that wasn't what she wanted to hear. He pocketed his phone once he was standing right in front of her. "Someone needs to chainthat bastard to the ocean floor." Because no one needed thatasshole around.

She was shaking a little now as the gravity of the whole thing started to sink in, "He broke my arm last time....!" so yeah shewas scared of the big bad scary god. "And he came after everything in your life to get to me. I don't even know what he'd do this time to torture my dad."

Finally she threw it all up instead of holding it back. Sometimes it was like pulling teeth to get her to open up. Her and Theseus were so alike in that way it was psychotic. "Poseidon's a big pussy. Someone needs to shoot him in the dick." He hated thatguy.

She had her head in her hand still and said, "It's complicated..." a slight whine to her voice.

He swung open the stairwell door and made his way towards the cafe. He was still on the phone when he sternly told her (while looking at her), "So start skipping to the end already. How the fuck did that happen?" Was he going to have to break some necks, or shove someone offa building?

Zoe made a face, she had to remember to have another talk with Greed about what a best friend was. But nowwas not the time.

She needed one.

She smiled a little at his goofiness, more than his looks, she loved his sense ofhumor.

Theseus felt a new burden as Zoe had just quit her job. He wouldn't see her every day if he stayed and he didn't feel right about it, outside of the fact that he was a skeevy snoop for his father. He momentarily thought they should just jump on the boat to leave, but he knew she wouldn't without Greed, so he held it back. Greed waschatting up with Digger when he got the call from Zoe. It wasstill early, he wasn't sure whatwas up. "Hey babe," he said with a giggle as Digger had just told him something funny, but immediately he could tell something was weird.

After lunch with her dad, Zoe walked with him back to the office building. She gave hima hug and then went to human resources where she filled out the paperwork for termination with a shaky hand. And then that was it... by 3:00 pm she was free.. forever. She left the office and wandered for a little bitbefore she called Greed on her cell phone.
