[What's delivered to him at town hall is simply a treasure map, hand drawn, with an X marks the spot.

Should he follow the directions, there is a small treehouse. The inside is lit with dozens of fairy LED lights, all controlled by battery of course. A small burner to heat up tea also rests on the floor along with a plush air mattress strewn with fluffy blankets and pillows that's large enough for two, should Jude ever want company.]

quicklog: jude and oli @ pizza

Who: Oli & Jude
What: Brotherly reunion over pizza.
Where: Repose's pizza parlor
When: Current.
Warnings: Nada.

From the basement of Sonrisa to the fallen-dusk cold of Repose's mild mannered streets, Oliver was struck with nostalgia, or deja vu, or whatever the proper word for recurring wonder was. Oliver didn't know, he figured Jude would know as his brother knew most words for most things, but Oliver must have grown beyond the curiosity of asking at some point. Something about growing older or growing apart.

Whatever, the point was that fall felt familiar. It felt like the new beginning that the boys had promised themselves all that time ago when they'd first come to this stupid town with all of the stupid people that Oliver had somehow managed to grow fond of despite himself.

Mercy, it was biting cold, and Oliver hustled quickly along the sidewalk for fear of losing his fingertips or the end of his nose due to Everest-like exposure. There might have been some blame to befall himself if Oliver was capable of stopping long enough to scoop it up in claim -- after all, he'd optioned out of wearing a jacket or coat because his new sweater was a perfect, idyllic blue that matched his Starry Night sneakers. His mustard yellow corduroys had to of been a few years old by now, and there were clues of different colored paint speckles around the knees and the pockets and the hems at his ankles. It was a timeline that could be traced back through Oliver's gray period, his green period, his red.

Okay, so finally, the pizza spot! Oliver blew through the door with chattering teeth and the brass-blond of his poorly-colored hair sticking up like coils of wire. Oliver was on time. In fact, Oliver was five minutes early, which he realized while using numb fingertips to check the glowy front of his cell phone with dark eyes squinting from behind new glasses. Jude, of responsibility and precision, was surely already here, so Oliver scanned the booths as he walked up through the parlor with a sudden and bizarre kind of dread that told him he wouldn't recognize his brother at all.

jude & hannah: tea

The coffee shop wasn't, begging pardon, strictly a tea-shop. There had been one briefly in town, a jazzy sort of outfit but it had been stripped away clean and the town had shuffled back around books and coffee scented with the smell of pages and mildew in the back of the store Jude loved terribly much and combed through like a pickpocket on a Sunday. Which, actually, wasn't far from small boy long since grown up. Did he have the knack these days of pulling a wallet from a coat pocket or the back of a pair of jeans without tipping off the owner? Jude's fingers didn't often itch and he'd gotten used to being a con-man in retirement, one with a back-up job in a bar that hadn't grown old. But the little boy would have looked curly head around the room and itched for thievery.

He wasn't a boy anymore, but man and one clad in last-year's rust wool sweater worn over a plaid shirt that frayed a little at the collar and cuffs with a stack of paperback books pulled from this week's box of new-old books, and perhaps a little of the old yen was banked embers, not yet fully ash because he had Oli to think on. Oli who he hadn't seen since the weather had warmed, now long since cooled and chill and it was easier to play with the mental flexibility of a boy calculating the angle for a pocket than to consider all other parts of the whole in childhood that had conjured a brother as well as a trade.

It wasn't Oli he waited for now. The tea set before the seat opposite as well as his own steamed fragrantly, not Nilgri or oily bergamot, both of which lay inside caddies in the cupboard of the small, warm apartment over the General Store, but chai. The coffee shop frothed milk, sprinkled cinnamon, drizzled honey until it was not tea so much as confection, and he awaited the woman he half-thought of as doll, stitchery-smile and broken-bodied determination for the seat opposite, without trepidation (although he couldn't help, while he waited, flicking through a copy of Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex.

Do you know Cat, by any chance?

[Locked to Cat C]
Cat, I could use your help, if you want to give it.

[Locked to Atticus M]
You going to be able to manage without me?

[The Cat Employees: Jude C & Claire J]
I'm going to be gone for a week or so. Hopefully no longer. Both of you should be fine without me, but if you need extra help, I'll work it out with Cat, who you can reach out to. See you both in a few days.
