Day 278 | Open Action
Scenario 1 [Can we build it?]

[Why the hell not? Gwen was a capable woman. There was no lack of drive or will in her. Nobody could perhaps call her well read but maybe that wasn't important, maybe that didn't really matter when you had started to get used to being stuck somewhere for a very, very long time.

Who said she couldn't build a damn aircraft in one day?

But as she is standing in front of the material itself, there is something in her that starts to think that drive and determination maybe isn't all it takes. Scratching her head Gwen makes a grimace.]

Maybe... Start with the wings? And what bits are that then?

Scenario 2 [Have a drink.]

[The crystal clear liquid swirls in its thick glass casing. The smell it gives of is very distinctive for anyone who has ever drunk it. Of course there is the underlaying aceton smell of alcohol, an absolute of any liquid that could make you stupid for a night or two or fifteen. But over it is something different, worse than the nailpolish-remover-stench of the alcohol. This smells like it could remove the paint from a car, with just the slightest touch of lemon.
Tequila demands to be remembered.

Gwen stares at the drink. Since it was poured in her glass it has not moved closer to her lips. A little plate of lemonwedges, and a pile of salt, stands in front of her, along with the three other shots that she asked for. There is no doubt she wants this. No doubt in all of her. The mist of grief in her head needs to be replaced, if just for one night, by something else. Something that isn’t the faces or voices of people not here.

The liquid remains untouched, and Gwen sighs, putting her forehead to the bars wooden surface in defeat.]

option number gwen's bar run is getting interrupted by an empath

[ deanna isn't really sure why she's here. maybe it has something to do with needing to be out and about instead of sitting in the apartment mourning her husband's departure. she wasn't really intending to sit at the bar -- actually, she'd been heading for a table -- but when she nears the bar, her empathy picks up something different, something that isn't quite... good. so she veers off and moves to take an empty seat close by another woman. ordering a glass of wine to start, she pretends not to have noticed anything until the woman rests her head against the bar. it's the perfect opener and deanna takes advantage of it. ]

Are you all right? [ asking as though it's merely a headache the woman might be nursing or something else and not anything emotional. ]

Perfectly fine. Just taking a nap.

[The voice is slightly muffled by the way her lips are pressed against the flat surface. Beside her is a woman, she can tell that much. But besides that everything is sort of hazy. Covered in a dark veil, letting through only slight glimpses of light.
It could just be her hair, but she doubts it.
Lifting her head up Gwen meets the womans gaze with a slight smile.]

Rather hard pillow though.

[ she can tell it's a lie even without her empathic abilities. she is, however, offering the woman a gentle smile, as though she can understand what might prompt this. ]

Usually naps are more comfortable taken on a bed or couch or somewhere with a more comfortable surface.

[ it's an opening for the woman to explain or take off on another topic, perhaps about pillows. deanna will take any sort of conversation right now. she can always curl it back around later. ]

	[Zatanna attempted to observe from a safe distance, until the point came when she realized this person knew just as much about building an airplane as she did.] You know, by now, you would think I'd remember that they don't even know the meaning of the word "joke" (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I am a person of outmost confusion. [Looking up at the young woman Gwen does a feeble gesture to the kite she is trying to put together, which at least looks like an airplane. It might as well be, since she's got no idea how to do it.] In other words, I'm stupid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wouldn't call you stupid. Just one more innocent victim of tweedle cruel and crueler's efforts to humiliate us all as bizarrely as possible. (Reply to this) (Parent)

[ Although she's definitely been lingering in his thoughts since that dream, Reid never went out to look for the unfamiliar lady with all that grief. Maybe he should've, but other things came first and before he knew it he was firmly wrapped up in daily routine again. Routine is exactly what's bringing him out into the streets today — taking a break from Defense Force paperwork to grab a cup of coffee and some fresh air.

He almost walks past her where she's contemplating the materials, her face registering as familiar at the last second. ]

Hey... aren't you..?

((ooc: Just to clarify: the inmates got kite making supplies. Conscienti can be a bit difficult with the wording at times, so it's always good to check the ooc note on the daypost for clarifications! ))

	[A voice she should not know but did rang out. Looking around from her project, a complex sort of flying thing that took too much of her concentration to paint a nice portrait of her intellect, she just sort of stared at the man.] Why do I know you? ((Not at all SUPERASHAMED xD)) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A few days ago... that dream? Do you remember? [ He remembered enough, but that didn't seem to be the case for everyone. For all he knows, she could be recognizing him from something else entirely. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No way. [Turning to face him completely Gwen just watches with her mouth gaping open. Intelligence is surely redefined in this woman.] That is not possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pie sounds.. [Like what. How did it sound Gwen? How did it sound when one of the nicest people you have ever met stands in front of you, offering it so kindly that it hurts your heart? It better sound like buttery sunshine to you, or you are going to regret it.] Wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Apparently biting a bunch of people gets you punished. Whodathunkit? At least bartending at the Compass isn't too bad, compared to cleaning public bathrooms (gross) and making arts and crafts (grosser). He slides up to her soon enough, lit cigarette bobbing nonchalantly on his lip. ] Still here, I see. You gonna drink that? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	You going to leave and shove that cigarett up your bleached arse? [There is a small amount of struggle. The neck strains, the shoulders tighten, and there it is. Being able to lift ones head should not demand so much effort. Picking up the tiny glass she gives him a tiny mock toast.] I'll do mine if you do yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
