I'm Adrian. Fuck off, 'kay?

[tabula-rasa-kitty-deactivated20]

[Kitty’s innocence would be her downfall. She assumed Adrian was like Dallyn. She assumed everyone was. Sweet, selfless, and actually concerned for her. She sighed and shrugged.] I’m waiting for that healing to actually take root.

I dunno, wander the streets and familiarize myself with this place. I’ll figure something out. I just want him to think I’m normal again. I mean, as normal as I can be, I guess.

[Adrian began mentally mocking her. I mean, as normal as I can be, I guess. Where the fuck did he put his invitation to this pity party? Must've lost it. Oh well.] I'm sure you'll be just fine, hun. Take it a day at a time. [He looked at the time on his phone- a faux expression of shock being painted on his face.] Shit- Kitty, I gotta go. Damn schedule. [A date with the clouds was waiting for him and he wasn't spending another minute with this nut-case.] 

I'll catch ya' later! [He began walking with a quickened pace down the road to his apartment without turning back.] 

[tabula-rasa-kitty-deactivated20]

-She ran a hand over her hair and looked up at Adrian.- I shouldn't forget you. I've been good at faces. Anything visual actually. But if it's just said to me, it kinda goes poof if I think of anything else. -she sighed and shook her head. Growing more frustrated with the questions. She wanted one day to go by where she didn't fuck up. Dr. Melekov said it could get easier, and she was waiting rather impatiently for that day to come.- I don't think there's an occasion. I don't want to call him, I told him I was doing better. Wandering around like an Alzheimers patient isn't exactly in the "getting better" category.

[adrian-warren-blog]

[For a moment Adrian almost felt bad. He was toying with a girl who was obviously ill. But then the realization hit him- who cares? He nodded as she spoke, the occasional glance of pity for a good show to keep the puppet unaware.] Not the best example of getting better, but I'm sure you'll heal eventually. [Or die forgetting that cars go really fast and casually running into one.] Take it a day at a time. So if you don't want to call him, what're going to do? [Wait. He had a bag of weed in his jacket and he was talking to a mentally unstable girl. He really needed to sort out his priorities.] 

[tabula-rasa-kitty-deactivated20]

I was going to do something...

[tabula-rasa-kitty-deactivated20]

[Kitty jumped when she heard a voice, lost in her own thoughts. She went this way for a reason, and she couldn’t remember anything at all.] Oh, Adrian…hi. [She turned to him and gave him a small smile.]

A familiar face. That’s what I need. Uh, I was going to do something. I just can’t remember what. I don’t want to head back home, because I might be out picking up something for Dallyn, and I don’t wanna go home empty handed.

[adrian-warren-blog]

[Again with the amnesia? She'll probably end up thinking a cactus is a lovely fucking fruit and take a bite. Poor thing.] Is this your amnesia thing kicking in? I do hope you wouldn't forget who I am and try to tackle me or something.

 Well, assuming that you are out shopping for Dallyn, what's the occasion? [The name was easily remembered. He was the cute as Hell kid that talked about computers and shit with him. If it was his birthday, maybe he could casually seduce him as a gift.] 

[tabula-rasa-kitty-deactivated20]

I was going to do something...

But I forgot…

[adrian-warren-blog]

[Adrian walked the streets, weed securely placed in his coat. Damn suppliers were trying to get pricy but a few choice words shifted the situation easily. Adrian could see a slim figure close by and upon getting a closer look it was his next game looking like a lost midnight dumpster baby.] Hey there, little girl. [Adrian slowed down beside her, ready to start moving his pieces in place.] 

What're you doing in a place like this? It's a bit too dark for pretty girls to be outside.

[dallyn-king-blog]

Alright, man. Thanks.

I’m actually hoping to be a game designer? You know, when I finally get my shit together and stop fucking around. So, you know, a good portion of my life is spent straining my eyes on computer screens and messing with game mods on any hacked software I can get my hands on. That’s really lame, but it’s essentially the base of my life. What about you, man? I bet you’re you’re really cool and likes driving motorbikes.

[adrian-warren-blog]

[Adrian nodded as Dallyn talked, making sure he seemed interested and was listening attentively.] Game design sounds cool. I'm a little bit of a gamer. Stuff like Silent Hill and Soul Caliber- action shit.

I'm kinda boring, really. I just head over to the beach, swim, get high. Though my motorbike is in my parents garage. Didn't have the room at my place and can't have it sitting outside, ya' know? So what games are you into making? Anything in particular? 

[dallyn-king-blog]

I thought it’d impress you. You know, smoking. I don’t know. All the cool people smoke. I always just get sick when I do it.

[Dallyn could feel himself shift and squirm. Compliments sucked sometimes.] Really? Not to fish for more compliments or whatever. But, yeah. Thanks, man. You’re umh… yeah. I already told you you were hot. Sorry.

[adrian-warren-blog]

[Impressing people by acting cool. What was he? Twelve?] You don't need to try to impress me, kiddo. Just be yourself. No need to choke yourself.

Really. I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true. And thanks, that's nice of you. [He passed him in a grin, snuffing the cigarette. This was too easy.] So, aside from being a pretty cute server, what do you do for fun and shit?  

[dallyn-king-blog]

Adrian is a pretty cool name. You know, anything’s better than fucking Dallyn. [He smiled, taking the cigarette awkwardly from the other. He stared at it for a few seconds, taking an unwanted drag, completely unaware of what to do once the smoke was in his mouth. He breathed it, finding himself blowing it out as fast as he could. He felt lightheaded, but, in all, he just hoped he didn’t look like a complete fool. It’d be pretty alright to impress someone around here.]

 …Uh, I’m a server. A shit one, but a server. What about you? Well, you know, besides eye candy.

[adrian-warren-blog]

Dallyn's pretty cool- different. [Adrian took the cigarette back, trying not to laugh at the others ignorance of smoking. Didn't they show this stuff on t.v?  It shouldn't be that hard.] You didn't need to take it if you didn't want to. [He smirked, filling his lungs with nicotine.] 

[He smiled, glad the attraction was in the air. Dallyn was a caught fish, mouth practically open wide.] I'm a bouncer. And you're not bad yourself- cutest guy I've seen in this town. 

[dallyn-king-blog]

[Dallyn smiled at the other, fixing his glasses before turning to direct himself at Adrian. That was polite, right?]

Well, we all give out some vibes. I think you’re pretty okay, though. You know, just from vibes alone. I’m Dallyn, by the way. I hope my vibes don’t suck too.

[adrian-warren-blog]

The name is Adrian. Nice to meet you, kiddo. [He passed a grin, lighting another cigarette and offering a puff to the other.] Your vibes don't suck. You seem pretty chill. 

So what do you do around this lovely place? 

[tabula-rasa-kitty-deactivated20]

I..well, I don’t remember anything before May. [She was caught off guard by his sudden interest in her.Her eyes were something that caught a lot of attention, but she was still knocked off balance by his words.] I…uh…well thank you. 

Well, I don’t know why my break is..maybe I could bring us some beer or something. [She was naive enough to not realize there was anything hiding behind his words.]

[adrian-warren-blog]

Really? Like amnesia? That's shitty.

Beer sounds good. I have to get back inside now, sadly. We can meet up later? [He passed her a grin and started towards the door. Before slipping inside he passed her a wink and shut the door behind him.]

[dallyn-king-blog]

… Oh, uh. Cool, thanks. [Dallyn shuffled over to the bench, sitting down and stretching his arms, trying his best to peek a few looks over at the other man. Why the hell were all the guys here really hot? It was 100% unfair.]

I’m guessing you’d rather I shut up and not talk to you?

[adrian-warren-blog]

[Adrian watched the kid sit down, noticing that he was probably the cutest little fucker he'd seen since meeting some kid named James? Jayden? Whatever, all he knew was that he honestly didn't care if he was sitting there.] 

No, feel free to talk. [Set the targets at ease. It was simple- easy.] People tell me I give off a vibe- sorry. [The word sorry felt foreign and tasted gross. But if it helped his cock in the future, he's persevere.] 

[tabula-rasa-kitty-deactivated20]

I mean, as far as I can remember…it’s my first job. [She stepped back a bit.] I-it’s just a complicated story. Don’t worry about it. [Panic rose in her when she saw the slight smile on his lips.]

C-can I get you anything?

[adrian-warren-blog]

Do you not keep track of your past job experiences? [He smirked as she stepped back, practically cowering. It felt beautiful.] And I might worry about it because I can't help notice you have the prettiest eyes I've seen in a long time. 

[Toying with people was the greatest pastime the world could offer to him. It was lovely.] If you wanted, we could share a round of drinks. Not that you have to or anything. [This game was so old yet so much fun. Hopefully this piece would play along.] 

[lyn-harken-deactivated20130711]

[Lyn clicked his tongue and leaned against the wall. Honestly he had no clue why this guy had to bother talking to him if he was just going to be an ass.]

[Rolling his eyes at the other male, he stuck the cigarette in his mouth and just held it there, not wanting to go back in quite yet. Maybe someone else had a lighter or match because he sure as hell wasn’t going to bother asking Mr. douche-bag.] Yep

[adrian-warren-blog]

Well, I'd offer my lighter but it seems my break is over. Don't have the time. [Adrian pocketed the lighter and began walking towards the door.] By the way, keeping the cigarette in your mouth won't make it lite.

Bye Twink. [He waved at the other, having the familiar sense of satisfaction knowing he had power to piss somebody off. The rus filled him and he knew he could continue tonight without someone getting a bloody nose.] 

[tabula-rasa-kitty-deactivated20]

[Kitty watched him eye her. She felt uncomfortable under his stare. Her body itched while she could feel his eyes over her skin.]

W-well, I mean it’s my first night working. Like…ever. [She really didn’t like his stare. She wanted to run and grab Dallyn to buffer the new face.]

[adrian-warren-blog]

Ah, a virgin to the real world. Cool. [He tossed the cigarette to the side, noting that he still had at least fifteen minutes left on his smoke break. Would he walk away and seek refuge from this girl surely to be later seen in the second circle of Hell? Nah, not worth moving.] 

[lyn-harken-deactivated20130711]

Peachy fucking keen. [Lyn snapped at him, not turning to look at him. He really hated this ass hole. Groaning he threw the empty lighter at the garbage can, but missed.]

[ Lyn glared at the end of this cigarette vaguely hoping his fuming irritation would be enough to start a fire.] Just my fucking luck.

[adrian-warren-blog]

[If he wasn't having such a fucking blast of pissing this kid off, he would've mentioned how one shouldn't talk to their superiors in such a manner.] Great to hear. 

Ya' know, pointing out the obvious here, but it looks like you're having some difficulties. 

[lyn-harken-deactivated20130711]

[Lyn sighed setting his guitar down. His voice was getting a little tired and he had a little break before he switched over to bartending. Grabbing his pack of cigarettes and lighter from his coat he trotted outside, only to groan silently at the person already there.]

[Clenching his teeth he stood as far as he could from Adrian as he tried to light his cigarette. After a moment he realized, to his rotten luck, the cheap dollar store light was out of fluid.] God damnit…

[adrian-warren-blog]

[The same kid from yesterday walked out into what was supposed to be a place of solitude and he felt the urge to be an asshole tugging at his sleeve.] How's the wifi? [He grinned to himself, knowing the twink was already agitated.] 

[He noticed the shit lighter striking time after time but not catching flame. He dug out his own lighter, absently igniting it and looking at the swaying fire. Adrian knew the feeling of not being able to have that drag when it was so close, and he hoped this shit suffered.] 

[tabula-rasa-kitty-deactivated20]

[Kitty tossed the garbage bag into the dumpster, and turned to him. He looked mad. she wondered for a moment if she said something wrong. His tone didn’t help either, she flinched back a bit.] That’s good. 

I’m Kitty. It’s my first night. I-it’s nice to meet you.

[adrian-warren-blog]

[Adrian looked her over and decided she might have an STD. Or maybe he was being too quick to judge. But his intuition usually wasn't wrong.] 

Since the bar just opened, I'm sure it's everyones first night. [The stutter ensured that she was probably thirsty, and there would absolutely no disease sharing anytime in Adrian's life.] 

[dallyn-king-blog]

[Dallyn weaseled out the back door, desperate to get out of the baking hell he knew as his job. He glanced down at the picnic bench that was now occupying another male. Somewhat, Dallyn felt like he was intruding.]

Oh, uh. Do you mind?  You know, if I just stayed out here for a bit. I told my boss I was on a smoke break, but I don’t really, uh, smoke. So…

[adrian-warren-blog]

[Adrian raised his eyes at the kid, looking him over and barely recognizing him from inside the bar. Another visitor. Grand.] Somewhat. I didn't bring my sharpie to write my name on everything out here so you can stay for now.

[Adrian lazily snuffed out the dead cigarette and lit another one while noticing the kids awkwardness rolling off in waves. At least someone around this place knew when to be on edge.]
