Become Invisible Who: Nik and Zoe. He's a thread whore. I'm sorry. Where: Eurycleia's Cafe When: 6:00ish
Nikolai wasn't brooding, you could be assured of that. Oh no. Never him. Okay, maybe a little bit but not as much as usual. Speaking to Res in the journal had been... Interesting to say the least. And now he knew exactly how he had survived the pool. How did you repay something like that? Thinking was sort of difficult so he had disappeared to a place where no one would look for him - Eurycleia's Cafe.
He didn't do the cafe thing normally or ever. Still, he had nestled in a corner with a book and made himself as invisible as possible. He hadn't even ordered anything to drink and it seemed that most of the waitstaff was avoiding him. He wondered if that Murse had told them to stay away after that whole black eye thing. Whatever. Asshole deserved it. (Not really.)
Occasionally he made notes in a little notebook but otherwise, he just kept reading and sinking back into the worlds of fiction that he recognized and understood better than the real world. Maybe he was a lot more like Gor than he even knew.
