Tuesday: October 30th, 2007
Who: Jin-Sang, Adair
When: Mid-day/1PM
Where: Helicharis
What: With such a nice day once it warmed up, Jin-Sang is out and about

The morning of the 30th Jin-Sang had been pretty skeptical about the weather. He had assumed earlier on when he woke up that it would be chilly and not the kind of day one wanted to go out in. Living in New England left him out of the know with weather when it came to places closer to the equator. When he stepped outside for a bit of fresh air around eleven he changed his mind. It was nice out, how wonderful! Smirking to himself he showered and dressed, figuring a walk would do him good. They were all he did as of late, but he enjoyed his little treks out in to the real world. Sometimes he saw mischief about, people together having fun. He felt a little sore when he watched them, but tried to keep positive.

Why had he reverted in to such a quiet state, he wondered?

Taking off, the door slamming behind him naturally, Jin-Sang shook his head. Fingers ran through the long, black strands, pushing them back out of his face or across his forehead. He always looked pretty good, so he thought, and tried to appear as clean as possible. It was nice to take such good care of oneself, to take pride in ones own appearance. Sunglasses were slipped on over his eyes, hands then fitting in to his slimming sweater, Jin-Sang made his way over to Helicharis. He'd check on a jacket he'd asked for a few days passed, but when he found it wasn't done he stepped out of the store. Hm. Well. Time to browse.

Beginning to hum again, trying to keep a cap on his gift, his shoulders moved with the song suddenly stuck in his head. The words were in English though occasionally some Korean would slip in there. He chuckled when he realized someone had been watching him dance around. What a goof. Stopping, he turned his back on his small audience to look at something in a shop window. That was certainly a great way to be noticed, he thought. Make a fool out of himself.

“It’s a miracle, for once I’m not freezing my balls off.” Adair mumbled, his mouth occupied with a cigarette. He probably had about thirty hoodies and even in the twenty degree range he “forgot” to wear one. So it was his fault, but he would blame it on Mother Nature for being such a bitch and having seasons. Today she was holding back on the colder weather and it felt a bit like the beginnings of Spring. There was no way he was going to coop himself inside.

Adair usually threw on clothes that looked clean and had some sort of band name on it, typically the Ramones. Since his hair was pretty damn short, he usually never did anything to it. Some of his jeans were ripped from falling and he figured they just looked naturally ripped like it was in style. Just get Adair to wear your pants. In about ten minutes or so he would fall and create some killer jeans.

When he got to Helicharis he figured he would look around and maybe see if Sanura or Daiyu were working. They probably were enjoying the nice weather as well. It would probably be one of the last warmer days of the seasons. While he was contemplating what to do-that’s when he saw a dancing Asian man..hmm, that was something new. He shouldn’t be embarrassed; he was caught playing air drums once.

“Going through iPod withdrawal?”

Chuckling, Jin-Sang gave a nod and a small grin. "Yeah," he replied. He had one of those old iPods, the ones that had all of the battery issues that people tried to sue over. His had never acted up, not once, and he was quite sure if he had to part with her he would never be the same. Even his name was engraved in to the back--not that he was the only person to do this. It seemed many of his classmates had various Apple technology with their names carved smoothly in to the back. JC really liked his jumbo MP3 player, though. She was heavy in his hand, but not weighted and tiresome to carry. That left a secure feeling that, should it even drop, it would not break the first time round.

"You ever feel that way?" he figured he may as well ask. One didn't come up with such things unless they had experienced some kind of withdrawal as well. Vaguely he tried to peg this guy for what his vice would be. When a breeze blew on by and he caught the scent of cigarette, he decided it was smoking. In the window reflection JC even decided the guy looked like a smoker. Not in a bad way, just a smoking type of person. Some people looked it, some didn't. Nothing to be ashamed of. But Jin-Sang finally turned around to face Adair. What astonishing eyes, he thought, but that was the end of it.

"I'm pretty glad they got this generator thing coming up," he mused. Usually he wasn't the talk-to-stranger kind of guy, yet he was feeling talkative today. How unusual. It must have been the nice weather and tomorrow being Halloween. The Connors had never fully participated in the Americanized event aside from trick-or-treating when Jin-Sang was small and giving out candy when he was old. Once he'd gone to a pretty wild party at college, just in 2006 actually, but it had been his last. Parties like that were not his style. Too much drug usage and alcohol. While he could enjoy a drink now and then, he really didn't make it a habit like those kids had.
