Who: Roy Harper + Open What: Hanging. On rooftops in New York. As you do. Where: New York City, New York When: August 22nd, 2012 [Late Evening] Rating: Right now, G.
He wasn't lurking. Roy didn't lurk. Nope, he was just hanging out. On a rooftop of a building. In the middle of the night. For the tenth time that hour, he pulled his phone out of his pocket and checked to make sure he somehow hadn't missed a call from home. And for the tenth time that hour he saw that nope. The alarm had not been raised at home.
Earlier that evening Roy had told the babysitter that he was going out and promised Lian (a very solemn and very serious promise) that he'd be here when she woke up. In the past going 'out' might have meant going out to see a female friend (not that Lian would ever be told that, or the babysitter), or out with friends, out to a strip club, out for work reasons ... yup saying you were going out covered all kinds of things.
But tonight? Tonight Roy wasn't doing any of the regular things that were covered by going out. Tonight Roy was going out to hang out on rooftops of buildings. Just to get some air. Just to get some time away and just to find a quiet place to think. Really. There was enough people who made a habit of hanging out on rooftops of buildings - and Roy should know. He knew a lot of the people who did that kind of thing.
The fact that he had his bow with him was because -yeah a lot of people hung out on rooftops in New York. But not all of them where nice, and Roy wanted to be able to defend himself if need be. That was all. Really.
Moving to the edge of the building, Roy glanced down, and then at the building across from him. He was up here just thinking about a lot of things - how he had to apologize to Jennie. About how whenever he read anything in the paper about bodies hitting the ground he wondered if Jade had a hand in that. Sure that didn't seem like her M.O, but who knew. He should be thinking about that - instead he was looking down to the alley below this building in case anything was going on down there. He might have come out to the rooftop to think about things but distractions from dwelling? That would be cool too.
