Jean-Paul: One of the things Jean-Paul hated about the city was how bright it was all the time. The lights never seemed to shut off and you weren't able to see hardly any of the stars in the sky. Compared to northern Quebec, it was quite a difference and one he had never quite gotten used to seeing. But thanks to recent events, the city was a bit duller. Sitting out on the balcony, he noticed that certain lights were out and even a couple buildings were no longer there. It was only a bit depressing. He was lost in these thoughts when he heard the screen door open and a quick turn of his head let him know it was Walter. "The front desk assured me that the balcony is structurally sound." If not, Jean-Paul will catch his friend if it collapses. Walter: Walter gnaws on his lip. "Sound, okay." He's not really nervous. Not that he's afraid of heights or anything. Okay, maybe a little, but only afraid of falling from them. "Everyone else is asleep." A glance up at the sky. He missed the stars too. City's are bright. When Walter was traveling, he was usually sticking to the scenic routes. Jean-Paul: He wasn't afraid of falling, but then again he really couldn't fall. Funny how that flying thing worked. Actually, Jean-Paul really didn't have any fears concerning injury to himself, though that was another story. "That is good," was all he said at first as he nodded his head. "I have not really slept much these past days." Walter can know these things. Walter: Walter takes a seat on a patio chair. It makes a funny sound and he stutters an apology out, "Uh, sorry, it was the chair, not--" Anyway! "You can't fall asleep?" An innocent question, as if traumatic events were occurring left and right. Even though he's speaking to Jean-Paul, it kind of looks like he's talking up at the sky now. "I see Cygnus!" Jean-Paul: The chairs are those cheap lawn chairs, probably ones he bought at Target when they were on Super Sale. "No worries." If the chair broke, he could just got out and buy another cheap one. And since Walter wasn't looking at him, Jean-Paul decided to totally forget his first comment and move on to the second. "What is a Cygnus?" Walter: "A swan! Here, look." Walter gets up out of his own chair to crouch beside Jean-Paul's. He sticks a hand straight up in the air, leaning close so JP can watch his finger, "Look right here..." He traces the pattern out, it looks like a stick-figure swan-- but only if you're really looking. Jean-Paul: He leaned in a bit so he could see what Walter was pointing to, but the moment he was done, Jean-Paul was back to his own personal space bubble. "I see." Eh... it kind of looks like a swan? A bit? He was going to pretend that he saw it for Walter's sake. "How are things?" You know. Things. Walter: Walter looked up at the sky a little longer, then snapped out of his mini-trance. "Things? Uh. Well. The earthquake probably destroyed that shelf I built." Oh well, it was lopsided anyway. Jean-Paul: He felt bad that people had lost things, but even more bad when it came to his sister and Walter. Maybe a couple other people, though he wasn't about to say that. "We can build you another one." Jean-Paul and Walter. Being manly and building things with their bare hands. Out of wood. Walter: "That would be fun." He felt like he didn't do enough stuff with Jean-Paul. Jean-Paul works at a bar and lives in a hotel. Walter prefers to do his drinking alone and his sleeping in Jean-Paul's sister's bed-- er. Nevermind. Jean-Paul: Yeah. They learned their lesson about drinking together awhile ago. And never mention sleeping in his sister's bed. Yeah. "We could go to Lowe's or something." He liked hanging out with Walter. Walter: Walter cracks a smile, nearly starts to laugh. "Lowes, then Home Depot, and then top if off with Texas Roadhouse." Jean-Paul: Seriously. Can you imagine these two at Lowe's. It would be an exercise in anything but manliness. "That sounds good. We can eat rare steak." To make up for the fact they were going to be totally out of place in the hardware store. Walter: Walter grins, all teeth. He then pretends to flex his muscles, "We're manly Canadian men!" Jean-Paul: This was going to be hilarious. HILARIOUS. Watch one of them hammer their shirt to a board. "Much better than American men." |
