#event005

"i don't particularly care for the accommodation, but i do suppose that there's that old saying about beggars and choosers." her tone is light despite the circumstances, perhaps because she's simply grateful that she hasn't been separated from her son, who is currently wandering up to anyone who will give him a moment of time, asking if they'd like to see a card trick. bit of a brilliant move on his part, she thinks, trying to distract people with a moment of levity. her stomach clenches a little when he approaches the goth couple in the corner who look as if they're preparing for an assassination attempt, but the woman of the pair smiles just enough that she forces herself to relax.

She wasn’t above lying to get what she wanted. Ciri grinned as she secured herself a very, very surface level tour of the research center, just by promising to think about the reallocation of some funds. Funny that no one else had thought to offer that. Even though the tour would be basics only, it was good to foster relationships between herself and those she desired to know about. Allies tried to avoid attacking allies.

Ciri turned on her heel, nearly running into someone. They looked so familiar to her… why?

Oh! “You’re one of the others running for mayor, right? I think I saw your picture somewhere.”

Out of all the faces he could have seen this was one of those faces he had silently hoped for since he first arrived here. He had so many regrets when it came to Owen and Toshiko. The main one being his inability to protect them. Their deaths would forever haunt him, day and night. Just the curse of being immortal. 

Just staring at the other for a couple of seconds, Jack then took a deep breath and pinched the bridge of his nose. Oh this couldn’t be happening, right? This must be some trick. 

“Do you think they’re doing some avant garde thing? Or they just let some kids go mad with the lighting?” James laughed as he turned to Lily, taking his gaze off of the house with some randomly strewn lights. 

It wasn’t the best house on their little holiday light tour, but it certainly was the most haphazard. Which would be exactly how James would describe whatever this thing was between him and Lily. Friends with benefits? Dating? 

Was this even a date?

“Māya ḍiyara mitra!” He pushed through the crowd until he was directly in front of Min. He placed his palms together in front of his chest, bowing slightly. “My dear friend. Namaste.” When he lifted his gaze, he was grinning. “I was hoping to see you here. It’s a small town, but there are so many people. I was afraid I might miss you.” He grinned, tilting his head to the side slightly. “Did I surprise you, or did you see me coming?” He didn’t make a move to touch Min, not sure if that was allowed when the guy wasn’t high. He didn’t want to overstep in public. Some people had hang ups about that.

And that is how she found herself in line for one of the rides, not intending to go on but standing with her siblings in line, hugging herself and doing her best to smile and not look as miserable as she felt. She took a step back as Alex started a plastic sword fight with Ethan, running into the person behind her.

“Oh, sorry,” she said, feeling her cheeks warm, especially when she saw who it was she’d run into. “Um. Hi. Again.” What did she say? “Um, it’s, um, good to see you’ve got clothes on this time?” Stupid.

Everyone once in a while he’d approach couples and offer to take photos of them for a small fee, using his polaroid for that. When he caught sight of a new familiar face, he couldn’t help but grin and take a snapshot first, before approaching the guy.

“Hey, Hagen!” he called as he walked over, developing photo in hand. “You look like you’re having fun. Proof.” He held up the photo for the other to see the candid of him grinning at whatever he’d been looking at before. “You can keep that if you want. No charge.” He held it out to Hagen.
