i'm a pale imitator of a boy in the sky.

i think the tv knows something about me that i don't. i think it knows. i really think it does.

KOSMIC.

     “Lyle. You work for Jeff Bezos.” Misha shoves an Amazon package into their hands; it’s been opened, less than neatly, and wrapped back together with a folded, lumpy mess of duct tape. “Take this back to him. It is broken.”

     “And I want back my money also.”

   there’s enough upward facing duct tape on the box, sticking to lyle’s hands, that they can hold it without any real grip at all. ‘ this is not how my job works, misha. my job is strictly work from home, i have no physical obligation to carry this thing anywhere. ’

    ‘ unless the thing inside the thing is cool, and then i’ll carry it home. ’

@gnnablow.

they probably haven’t ordered enough to be sitting in this booth for as long as they have. it’d surely be an issue if this place’s turnaround was steady, but it’s not. that’s lucky for lyle and lyle’s one slice of pie.

          ‘ hey waitress, is there an actual murray who owns this place ? ’

They don’t look like it happens all the time, they look like they’ve been caught with their pants down. Ari tries to firefight a little and save them the embarrassment. He doesn’t have any napkins to hand, unfortunately.

‘Far be it from me to judge but don’t that get real annoying?’

  ‘ it sure ruins a lot of shirts.’ they sniff one of those really big sniffs, the kind that wrinkles up your whole face from the bridge of the nose. it’s all they can do to keep the blood stopped. ‘ so, are we done ? is that all you wanted to know from me ? ’

‘You get nosebleeds a lot?’ The person across from Ari doesn’t seem to have noticed the little stream just beginning to waterfall off of their chin. It’s the car crash decision and he’s chosen to look, at least he’s trying not to stare.

   there’s no way to stop the bleeding short, and they’re panicked that someone’s noticed now, so they cup their hands around the nose to look more...inconspicuous. it’s not really working, and lyle’s palms are going to come away all red.  ‘ --- oh uh, oh yeah, man. all the time ! this happens to me all the time. sometimes i don’t even notice it anymore. ’

FREEVINNY.

@badimitation

    “It’s - it’s real good, oh man, I’m lovin it.” Val looks sidelong at where he thinks Vinny is, just for a second, and then looks back at the plate, and clenches his hand into a fist so he can cough into it, delicately. “Oh man. This is so good, oh boy oh man. Whoo! Hell yeah, lovin this. Lov-in this!” He coughs again, clears his throat on the end of it. He has another mouthful halfway towards his mouth when something seems to occur to him and he drops his fork, looking mournfully over at Lyle, lips pressed to a flat line.

    “Alright I gotta come clean here, I gotta, you’re right Vinny, absolutely right as always. I got a gluten intolerance. And in the spirit of—” he coughs again, and strains, wheezing, “—of transparency I’m, uh, I’m havin what you might call a reaction to - to the — hhhoh fuck, nghh. Oh god. Jesus fuck—”

    ‘ is this an “i’m gonna break out into hives allergy” or an “i’m gonna die” allergy, because there’s a big difference, val. there’s a really big, huge difference.’  lyle’s breaking a sweat, and if it’s val who’s looking mournful, they’re looking flat out depressed by comparison. there’s a lot going on, including the more prominent introduction of vinny’s place in all this, and it’s not exactly what they were looking for on a friday night.  

    ‘ i’m gonna call 911 if you don’t answer because i don’t want to go to court. aren’t you supposed to have one of those metal bracelets that tells me what to do? why don’t you have a god damn bracelet, buddy. ’

CHARACTER INTERVIEW.

repost ,  don’t  reblog.

NAME  :   carlyle o’brien NICKNAME  :  “lyle” almost exclusively, “car” rarely AGE  :   23 SPECIES  :  mutant, but not to their current knowledge

personal.

MORALITY  :   lawful /  neutral  /  chaotic  /  good  / neutral  /  evil  /  true RELIGIOUS BELIEF  : n/a SINS  :   greed  /  gluttony /  sloth  / lust / pride /  envy  /  wrath VIRTUES  :   chastity  /  charity /  diligence  / humility / kindness  /  patience  / justice PRIMARY GOALS IN LIFE  : lyle largely just want to understand themselves better, they think that’s enough of a goal to shatter the general sort of malaise they have hanging around LANGUAGES KNOWN  :   english and high school level spanish SECRETS  : it wouldn’t be a secret if i told you SAVVIES  :  considering the experience they have in hiding (and therefore patching up) what look to be fatal wounds, they’re actually not the worst free doctor you could ask for. really good at cooking too, great with parents. perfectly average at a lot of things.

physical.

BUILD  :   scrawny  /  bony  /  slender  /  fit  /  athletic  /  curvy  /  herculean  /  pudgy  /  average HEIGHT  :   5′7″ SCARS / BIRTHMARKS  :  scars from dying tend to fade out, but you’ll catch them on their arms, and legs, and etc for a month or two after the fact. the rest of their  lasting marks tend to come from pretty innocuous incidents like falling off a bike as a child. ABILITIES / POWERS  : lyle can’t die, so far as we know. they have a suspicion there might be some caveats in the disease department, but so far they have a very long and impending life ahead of them. RESTRICTIONS  :  they have pretty severe anxiety, and while i’m not the happiest to stick that as a fact under “restrictions,” that’s certainly how they feel about it. they also have a pretty crippling fear of heights, which isn’t helped by the fact that they’ve fallen off a cliff before.

FOOD  : the leftover chinese takeout in the fridge that makes you feel fancy for one more night DRINK  :   water  /  coffee /  lemonade  /  alcohol  / whiskey /  beer PIZZA TOPPING  : onions and mushrooms  COLOUR  :   any shade of blue and green, tans, blood orange also MUSIC GENRE  : frank sinatra and those 5 indie pop songs that sound exactly the same BOOK GENRE  :   romance actually MOVIE GENRE  :  anything ensemble, ensemble comedy, ensemble action, ensemble horror etc... and teen movies SEASON  :   winter CURSE WORD  :  bullshit SCENT(S)  :  cheap deodorant and pen ink
