Who: Needy and Cal
What: Going out for chili cheese fries.
When: Evening, September 28th
Where: From the apartment lobby to a random restaurant.
Warnings: Uh. Probably language. I don't know what else there would be.

Needy hated to be the one to have to break it to Cal that he was apparently in some books, but he should probably know. Plus, was probably for the best if he heard it from her and not some random person that could show up at any point, having already read them before arriving there. She knew it sucked to have your life thrown out there for everyone to know when it really wasn't their business in the first place.

And no, she wasn't delusional. Or, well, maybe she was sometimes. But that wasn't anyone's business either. So what if she saw people that weren't there sometimes? She'd learned how to ignore it since it started happening, just like how she ignored the non-existent Colin as she walked down the stairs to meet Cal in the lobby. But she wasn't quite delusional enough to think that a heaping plate of fries was going to make everything all fine and dandy again.

When she saw he wasn't down there just yet she plopped down in one of the chairs to wait patiently.

	"You know what? I'm going to say yes to that. Pretty much just because I can." Needy smirked some at that. Because shit, she could be just as big of an ass about things as Cal could. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He did smile at that, crooked and amused, shaking his head, "You know, you're kind of a jerk sometimes. Lady-jerk, I don't even know what that would be. I should probably not try and make up words before I have delicious delicious chilicheese fries inside me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think the word you're looking for is probably something along the lines of bitch," Needy chuckled again. "But that's alright, you love my bitchiness." And no, she didn't mean that in a sort of... you're in love with me way. She really, really didn't. But none the less, to prove her point she linked her arm around Cal's.

	"Naah, that's being mean for the sake of being mean, you're just an ass sometimes when you want to be. Not the same thing at all. Maybe you're like, selectively bitchy. There's a good job description." He said with a nod, his own arm sliding around her waist, it was comfortable, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And it usually is just for the sake of it. Because it's fun." And yes, walking like that was pretty comfortable with him. It was something she'd gotten used to over the past few months, too. Really, it was no wonder why Andrea seemed to think they were dating or something. That crazy woman. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aupheling 2010-03-02 03:39 pm UTC (link)
	Yep, absolutely crazy. There was obviously nothing going on. Obviously. In conclusion: crazy. He nodded, both brows arching a moment, "Mmhmm, that's exactly my point. So where is this place?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"It's a couple blocks away from the bar, actually. Which'll be handy if it's good, then we can pick some up while we're working sometimes." Grinning, Needy turned a corner, pulling Cal along with her. Maybe some people just had to assume things because they wanted to live vicariously through others. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aupheling 2010-03-02 11:56 pm UTC (link)
	"That does come in handy." He said, nodding, "Not like our boss is going to notice if one of us vanishes for a few minutes, well, not unless lightning strikes and he's actually there while we are." He shrugged then, arm still looped around her waist, "I think we scare him a little. Which is good, means he's smart." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hellisagirl 2010-03-03 12:01 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I think we probably do," Needy chuckled a bit. "I mean, how long were we gone this last time? And before that we took a few weeks off. And yet he still lets us keep our jobs. He's probably scared that the demon powered girl and the half Auphe guy'll kill him if he fires us. Even if he doesn't know that's what we are." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aupheling 2010-03-03 01:55 am UTC (link)
	He nodded, "Something like that, yeah. Really I think it's more a case of we actually do the work before we slack off. Or do the work while we're slacking off, something tells me this is new and different for him in employees." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	hellisagirl 2010-03-03 09:26 am UTC (link)
	"Lucky for me, most of my job consists of looking at IDs. Then comes putting up the chairs at the end of the night, then breaking up the occasional bar fight." Needy couldn't help it, she made a face at that last one. "Part of me wishes those would happen more often." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aupheling 2010-03-03 03:59 pm UTC (link)
	He shrugged one shoulder, "Could be fun, but then we'd get a reputation and probably have more trouble poking around, and the idea is not to draw attention to ourselves." His smile was crooked, "I'll see what I can do to stir things up a little though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Yeah, I guess you've got a point there," Needy said, rolling her eyes a bit.

But it was about then that they rounded another corner and started past the bar they worked at. "Looks like another dead night at the bar," she said simply as she peeked in the windows, lifting one hand in a small wave to the bartender on duty. Yeah, they weren't going to be getting too many tips that night if it kept as dead in there as it was at that moment.

He huffed, shaking his head, "It's a good thing we make a regular salary or we'd all be on the breadline." There was an almost laugh that followed, sweeping a hand through his hair, "Which isn't even called that anymore, if it ever even was. Not that it matters, since we don't exist anyway and wouldn't be collecting unemployment to start with."

He also tossed a half-wave to the bartender, looking just as bored as they always did, "What's that guy's name anyway? Frank? Floyd? Mercutio?"

"Especially me. I don't get tips or anything. I mean, I get winnings from kicking people's asses at arm wrestling, but that isn't exactly part of my job description." Needy smiled.

But it took her a minute to remember the current bartender's name, even though she'd worked with him several times in the past. "Uh... I think it might be Evan? I don't know. I don't really pay him much attention when I work with him."

He nodded, "I'll have to remember to look at the schedule when I'm in next, might help me remember." He shrugged, "Might be good to know if he ever shows up missing or something, I don't know." This wasn't something he was hoping for of course, far from it, but he knew what happened to people around him, and more importantly, what seemed to happen to people around here with enough regularity to be unsettling.

"It would probably help if at least one of us was more social with people that aren't as used to the weird as we both are," Needy smirked a little at that, then shrugged with her free shoulder. "But, that's not really all that likely, is it?"

Yeah, Needy wasn't really the biggest fan of actually getting close to that many people. Sure, Cal was her best friend. And he treated her a hell of a lot better than Jennifer ever did (not that she ever realized just how horribly Jennifer treated her back when she was alive), and she had a couple of other friends here and there. But mostly she didn't want to end up getting really attached to very many people. Those people tended to end up dead around her, and that really sucked. Especially when she ended up witnessing it first hand or doing it herself most of the time.

Cal, for his part, just wasn't used to trusting anyone who wasn't Niko, though Robin was close and George was closer, and Promise... well, he trusted her to do what was best for Niko, so that counted.

He smiled at the statement, shrugging, "Never know, hell might freeze over, and as long as I'm not there to see it? I'm good." He shook his head then, "This is about as social as I get, and don't let anybody tell you otherwise."

"Well that's a shame," Needy started, turning to smirk up at Cal for a moment. "After all, I'm a huge partier. Didn't you realize that by now? And I just can't hang out with anti-social people." And if that wasn't a huge exaggeration, nothing was.

"Either way, at least we get along with each other. That's saying something, I guess." What it said, Needy wasn't sure. Of course, there was a lot that Needy didn't plan to say to him ever again, she wasn't really in control of herself the last time she'd said it, but that was neither here nor there. She really didn't plan on ever being anything more than friends with him.

He nodded at that, "Yeah, you're always in the middle of a party the same way I'm always helping out at the orphanage and the old folks home. Which you know I totally do, every day. Twice a day sometimes." He said this all with an utterly matter-of-fact tone, it wasn't deadpan, not really, it was almost completely earnest, which somehow made it even more funny than if he'd been deadpanning.

	And yes, that did make Needy laugh. "Yep. You're just so hard for me to track down, dammit. I mean, I sure as hell never get to see you." Smiling, she pulled him around a corner when they got to it. "The diner should be right down this road." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He nodded, smiling slowly, "Mmhmm, I can smell it." And he could, one of the few things he'd gotten from his father's side of the family that actually came in handy once in a while, fantastic sense of smell. Granted, it was often as much of a hindrance as it was a benefit, but right now? Totally a boon.

He shook his head a moment later, detaching himself from her side to tug the door open, holding it for her, "After you chief."

She could smell it, too, but Cal was sure to know that about her by then. "What, now I'm not just Lt. of Kicking Ass, I'm also your boss?" Needy teased. She didn't really think of herself as anyone's boss, let alone her best friend's. "Thanks though," she added as she walked through the door.

It didn't take long for her to spot an open booth in the diner, so she lead the way to it before plopping down in the seat facing the door. No, she didn't want anyone slipping in on them if she couldn't see them. Not that she expected anything like that, but it had become sort of habit.

He shrugged, "Somethin' like that, sure." Was all he had to say on the matter. There was a faint smile at where she sat, shrugging it off and settling himself almost across from her and almost beside her, where he could keep an eye on the front door and the door to the kitchen at the same time.

Observational skills were just one of the things he'd learned from Niko.

"Awesome. I have an underling now, I'm totally going to be keeping that in mind for any time want someone to do something for me. But I'm not paying you for shit," she grinned a bit, grabbing a menu from it's little holder. It wasn't so much that she was curious as to what they had, it was pretty damn obvious what it was she was after. It was more that she wanted to know how much chili cheese fries were going to cost her, even though that really didn't matter at all in the long run.
