Mingle: Event Kick-Off
[ It was mid-morning. The sky was clear and it was a (not so) very blustery day. It was cool but it was always cool. It was neither too warm nor too hot.

Lukewarm.

And that was just how Bak preferred it. Especially since he had in hand his very important, extra special concoction of wonderful forgetfulness on hand! Bak could stand teasing, but even this was getting ridiculous.

Hefting the bag a little higher so it fit snug into the crook between elbow and shoulder, he stepped off into wild world of Marinanova and promptly had to grab onto his hat.

Opps. He always forgot about that step down.

Taking another step, he nearly tripped again, this time on a rock. Frowning, Bak starred at the offending piece of debris and then he kicked it.

And yelped.

And then held his foot, dropping his bag in a near blinding rush of ”Eeeek!” as he dived for the paper bag, watching as with a POOF half of the contents disappeared into the wind, leaving him sneezing and dazed on the ground wondering what the heck had just happened. Clearly, his own formula had been getting the best of him. It happens when one sneaky scientist messes with the formula and Bak spent the better part of the morning putting the final touches of the mixture together.

Heightened emotions indeed.

Bak will rue this day assuming he survived it. ]


((ooc: Consider this post an open mingle and the start of the Marina Feelings Roulette Event! Creating your own posts is, as always, highly encouraged. And, unless you got an extra hefty dose of it right off the bat (re: by being in proximity to Bak when it happened) feelings should gradually start to go haywire later in the day with strongest feelings in the afternoon and tapering off again as evening descends. For more info on the details, please go here. Have fun!))

... But if you do, can you get them in white? [ he's not even sure why he's asking, except this is the easiest conversation he's had in a while. It's... nice. ]

[Okay, that's funny, and a little cute-- both redoing the button and actually, surprisingly asking. It brings back her smile with almost hopeless ease, but she brings up a hand to hide it while trying to appear as if she's thinking it over. Even though it should be a foregone conclusion to him that she will]

Why white?

It's looks cleaner.

[ And he was too used to hiding each speck of dirt and fleck of blood in the folds of cloth and the black of his "standard" uniform. The white simply reminded Hei that he wasn't just Hei but Li and every other alias he's assumed. He could be the boy attending school or the man waiting tables for extra money.

It was subterfuge and desire all in one ]

Until even a slight smudge, and then it looks worse than other colors would. [She's accepted hiding all that with her darken shades, long already. The white and pastels she truly enjoys... she learned after coming to the Outer Lands that they didn't keep well with the active life one led on the surface.

They stayed pristine only in the artificial light and stagnant time of Yulia City]


It stands out, too. [Yet another point she avoids]

Then you shouldn't get it dirty.

[ He almost says it with a laugh, his eyes crinkling slightly as he spoke. He was teasing, but he meant well by it. And it was good training in the end; it honed one's reflexes. ]

[Her eyebrow quirks incredulously; anyone who does what she does without getting dirty either isn't doing it with any kind of effort or is some superhuman. Well, anyone who cares that much about clothing shouldn't be doing what she does in the first place]

So I decide to wear white one day and I just shouldn't... say, get into a fight to help someone, or do any work at all, really. I see.

[ that's what his overcoat is for. And the fact that it's bulletproof doesn't hurt it either. ]

Haven't you ever gone out to just... have fun?

[ he asked the question with a sudden need to know. After all, the emergency can't be helped, but one should still be able to minimize the losses. Especially one of Tear's intelligence. ]

Well, no.

[It comes out unhesitatingly, honest. It's a matter of course, after all-- there was never anyone where she was, then never any time with what she had to do, and eventually it just... never factored as important, in her mind.

If she has time, it's better spent on something else]

[ he frowned ]

But you have hobbies, don't you? Your singing, and your book club... [ He shook his head then, because he knew her singing was part of how her artes took shape. He should have known better because contractors were good at what they did for no other reason then they had to be.

Enjoyment never factored into it. ]

You're right... I do enjoy doing these things, while I'm doing them... [She drops off, mulling the fact now that it's right in front of her, before turning a wry smile at him that's actually more meant for herself] But I suppose I've never considered them as "fun".

[She wonders what she considers "fun", really. Probably something trivial, unnecessary, that serves no end purpose or goal. Singing is calming, prayer, and indeed how her artes come to life. Reading passes time, increases her knowledge, helps her consider other opinions and views from her own]

That's pretty sad, isn't it?

[ Hei shook his head immediately, without hesitation ] No, one shouldn't force one to have fun. [ although sometimes, sometimes it does help. ] If you enjoy it; that should be enough.

[ and he means it. "fun" can always come later. And if one didn't enjoy a thing, Hei would never have kept watching the stars as long as he had, not since they turned fake. They were still in the sky, shining, bright... and always out of reach. ]

[She pauses, letting that sink in, before her previously sardonic smile evolves into a fully genuine one; most people tease or look at her strange when she says something like that to them.

But... not him. She appreciates that]


...Right. Thanks.

[ he's been around contractors for too long; they barely remember what fun is. ]

No thanks are needed, is there? [ his smile softens and then he slowly shook his head, turning again to look back up at the trees. ] It's a good day today.

[ for some reason and somehow. He won't easily forget this one. ]

Good day or bad, thanks should always be expressed. [She can only down at her hands, fingers knotted together tightly; right now, seeing him look like that is too much for her to handle]

Especially if you mean them.

[ his gaze immediately fell on her and then lower, towards her knotted fingers. ]

I do.

[ He always had, at least, so far as truth could be blended with fiction. Tear had always made him strive to be honest. He had sensed a kindred spirit. ]

[Her head is lowered, but the smile flirting across her lips isn't as hidden as she might like. She had meant that her own thanks were sincere, but if he intentionally mistook her words... Then she'll take it as his assurance that he's trying to not hide things from her anymore]

...Thank you for that too, then. [She steeples her fingers briefly before folding them back together again]

[ he laughed in a smile and simply captured her hand in his to still the movement. ]

Would you like some lunch?

[ they keep mentioning food, but they rarely go through with it. Perhaps, today, they could. ]

[Starting at his sudden contact, she freezes and can only stare at him for a second-- casual touch is still pretty strange. But his firmly in place smile is reassuring, and her own gradually returns.

She doesn't even attempt to pry her hand away at any point]


I guess we are kind of overdue on that deal.

[ his shoulders relaxed and his stance loosened immediately. He had wanted this more then he had known. ]

It is not overdue, if the deal is kept.

[ they had made no firm plans; there were no promises broken. Only vague moments scattered here and there. ]

sorry for the double tag, just looked back and saw I typo'd orz

I guess that's a way to look at it... [She drops her hand to lazily swing a bit at her side-- though she still hasn't let go of his-- and flashes a wry little grin]

But there is a point where it's just late, period.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

no worries
[info]bottomless_pit

[ he laughed then, openly and without reserve. ]

It can never be too late, at least in this instance.

[ he counted her too highly to ever think otherwise. ]

[Her tongue sticks a bit out at him, an impetuous act she wouldn't normally do in ordinary circumstances. But really, he had it coming]

Are you going to keep arguing that same point or are we going to go after all?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

ugh, how can they be so damn cute?
[info]bottomless_pit
2013-07-05 09:39 pm UTC (link)
[ he held his smile, relaxed and at ease as he hadn't been in weeks. ]

We have yet to decide on a restaurant, but...

[ he glanced off to the side, towards the general plaza for this sector ] We can decide as we walk.

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

it's only because they'll never become an official thing ^_^
[info]mysterymelody
2013-07-07 04:15 pm UTC (link)
Well, that's a start at least.

[Walking then, are they. She gets on that right away, and if she has to give Hei a little tug to start him on it as well, so be it]

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

nope, they'd still be cute even if they were official.
[info]bottomless_pit
2013-07-13 07:18 pm UTC (link)
[ she doesn't, but he appreciates the tug and the warmth of her hand in his. It's... nice. But he can't let the silence linger; this was too rare an opportunity. ]

You said you'd get me a shirt, but... [ he watched her carefully as she walked slightly ahead of him, leading the way. ] Is there something I can get you in return? [ as he watched her hair sway, he wondered if a hairpin might suit her. ]
