[ it's been oh-so-stifling, having richard be the "main face" for the few days jim has been here. under any other circumstance, he'd have self-control in excess, enough to just deal with this itching feeling under his skin, in his bones, just in him.

but today is strange.

something seems to be smothering his filter, veering him off that fine line he walks. he's certainly clever enough to know when reigning himself in is the smarter choice, but right now, it doesn't feel like it matters.

it was easier in the morning to bite it back, but as the day dragged on, jim grew more and more restless. by evening it's to the point where he just can't handle it. richard is taking the backseat again, he decides: this strange little prison has proven interesting enough to get a taste of one james moriarty. so, the simple transformation from awkward, fidgeting, rumpled richard to sleek-suited, eerily graceful jim takes place in a matter of minutes in private. then he's out and about, finally. anyone who saw his opening broadcast would most likely be able to recognize his face, despite the change in style. otherwise, you'll probably just be seeing someone who looks like he has somewhere to be and something to do. ...and possibly someone to maim.

he's full of pent-up energy, so he can be found roaming almost anywhere in the dome. ]

[ jim takes note of that posture shift, how instinctual and quick it was. it's almost like blood in the water, a drive for more. ]

And to you too, I suppose. How are you, then? Been a day or two since we've talked.

[ it's fun, assuming this familiar tone with him, even if they don't quite know each other. well. sort of. but not on this level of casual, not at all. ]

One day. [ he can't help that urge to set jim straight— his mind doesn't allow him to forget such things, and if jim is truly so eager to speak to him all of a sudden, he should at least have his dates in order.

after taking a moment to allow his little emendation to sink in, his hands move daintily, gracefully, to lace behind his back. he appears casual yet aloof, eyebrows raised slightly, questioning jim's sudden familiarity. ]

But, my word! Only a day, and yet such concern. Shall I send you my memoirs?

	Autographed, please, I'd be honored. [ he assumes a similar posture, just because he finds mimicking other peoples' behaviors is amusing (and sometimes unnerving for the other person, which is always a bonus, but he doubts that it'll be that way with piter). ] It's so rude of you not to ask in return! I'm lovely, thank you very much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ his smile turns somewhat sweeter, subtler, more genuinely amused. "honored?" goodness, this fellow is layering on the flattery. ]

You are very welcome, Mister Lovely. [ he's actually making that joke, and in such complete and total deadpan that it would sound sincere if not for the slight roll of the eyes it's accompanied by. he is not unnerved by you at all, little buddy. ] But you'll find that I am a terribly rude man.

	[ the absurdity and unoriginality of the joke makes jim snicker, the sound sharp and unnerving. ] Good. That's how I like them. More fun that way, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ the look on his face just continues to establish how unfazed he is by this change. if anything, he's quite amused, and certainly curious. he is beginning to see shadows of himself in this man— in his tone and his laugh, in the air that surrounds him. ]

You'll also find that amusing one such as yourself is not something I concern myself with. [ a slightly scornful, mocking look settles on his face, blending with the smirk already present. ]

	Well, isn't that a pity. So much wasted potential... [ he shrugs, casually, as if it's nothing. which in the end, it is. if he won't play, surely he can find someone else, right? ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Potential. [ snickering, he looks defiantly back at jim, as if to say that he knows nothing of piter's true potential. ]

Tell me, is there any reason why I should prioritize the demands of a stranger? [ surely jim cannot resist this sassy face. eyebrows raised exaggeratedly, he mirrors that shrug. he can certainly play. he just prefers to play by his own rules. ]

	It wounds me to hear you imply that there isn't, at least when that stranger is me. [ he pouts at that, now, arms crossed over his chest like a child. jim is a very, very theatrical man, and each and every expression of emotion, whether it's real or faked, reflects that. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ they certainly have theatrics in common. generally, piter has kept his more controlled for the time he's been here, but meeting jim on today of all days is simply bringing it all out in him. piter's face twists into a baleful expression, but the light that dances in his eyes is bright and mirthful. ] How unfortunate that you are so very fragile.
