🎬 + sender's choice (NEIGHBOR!!!!)

🎬

Sharing the train with his neighbour and coworker, Mr. Ray Perfect, was hardly an ideal start to Eric's day. Fortunately, Ray didn't appear to be in the chattiest of moods this morning, fully engrossed in the newspaper he of course had ample amounts of time to pick up and peruse before his ride to work, only occasionally breaking the silence with a pleased or displeased hum as he read through the articles.

Eric clutched his briefcase to his chest, the speech he had spent a good portion of the night writing and re-writing at the forefront of his mind now as he sat directly beside the man who would be delivering it in only a few hours' time. His hands must have been doing that twitchy thing, scratching at the leather surface of his briefcase a little too loudly for a little too long. When Ray turned to address him, Eric jumped just a bit in his seat.

"I take it you hath prepared a most riveting speech to honour our newest associate from abroad, and welcome them to the Power Industries family, Eric?" Ray inquired, as if any answer other than "Yes, I have." would have sufficed. Eric hated when he did that. And he did it all the time.

"Yes." Eric answered, desperately hoping that would be the end of it. And it was…for a while. Ray gave Eric a confident-as-ever nod of approval and returned to his paper.

A beat. Eric stared down at his briefcase, trying not to fiddle too much or make too many odd noises, which he failed at almost immediately and his fingers resumed their nervous twitching. He set his briefcase down in his lap and gripped his tie, smoothing the fabric in his fingers. At least that wouldn't make any sound.

Again, Ray's voice broke the silence and again Eric was startled, turning his head to actually look in Ray's direction this time.

"You know, Eric, your speechwriting prowess is unparalleled by most others in your department."

Did Ray not know Eric was the sole member of his department? Perhaps he forgot.

"Erm. Th-thank you." He replied, accepting the compliment anyway.

"'tis a shame your stress-related illnesses have you now toiling away, recording our company's ample figures--"

Don't say 'ample figures'.

"But I would be remiss if I did not properly acknowledge your contributions to the economical titan that is our own Power Industries." Ray continued, grin beaming on his tanned, mustachioed face, "Power himself may neglect to remind you, Eric, of your value to this company and its employees, and so I have taken it upon myself to personally commend you for your efforts."

Eric blinked. Then blinked again, quiet as he struggled to both process and internalize a genuine compliment from Ray Perfect. He smiled, not forced but still uneasy, finding it difficult to maintain direct eye contact.

"I… Th- Thank you, Ray." Eric stammered, suddenly feeling the need to pick his briefcase back up and hug it to his chest again.

Ray hummed in acknowledgement, gave Eric a nod and another smile, then returned his attention to the newspaper in his hands.

The two of them continued their commute in silence.

// might as well get the pride icon up now

// I'm never sure exactly how far I can reasonably get Into It and explore it in a respectful way, but Eric is very much chronically ill/disabled, and--half-headcanon, half 'this is never outright stated but its not exactly subtle'--I think he has some kind of autoimmune disorder triggered by extreme stress. Specifically something (or multiple somethings) under the Dysautonomia umbrella but that's kind of as far down as I can comfortably narrow it. Yeah. Eric's disabled.

// Also he is so so soooooo so autistic / OCD I know he is (But I don't think he does)

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

// Been thinking about The Faceclaim Situation, and like... If M.ackenzie C.rook drops out of the garbage wizard woman's audiobook and acknowledges the harm she--and by extension her horrible franchise--has caused and continues to cause....I might use him again. I don't expect him to show accountability for anything, but hey, if he does, we good. In the meantime, i'm faceclaimless/animated icons and graphics only.

Informally, I consider R.ik M.ayall to be THE perfect irl Eric, but I don't feel comfortable using him as a "proper" faceclaim and make graphics and icons and stuff like that due to the nature of his death. Just a personal thing. BUT, for a non-cartoon point of reference for how I envision Eric looking, its him all the way.

first meeting sentence starters.

send one to have our muses meet for the first time.

“Sorry, were you just talking to me?”

“I think you dropped this.”

“You look lost. Need some help?”

“I don’t usually talk to strangers, but…”

“You’re sitting in my spot.”

“Whoa! Careful!”

“We’ve never met, right? You seem familiar.”

“Is that seat taken?”

“Sorry, I think I just spilled something on you.”

“You’re blocking the doorway.”

“Were you just staring at me?”

“Excuse me, do you know the time?”

“Wait — are you the person I’m supposed to meet?”

“I’ve been sent to find you.”

“Please don’t be alarmed, but I think we have the same bag.”

“Do you work here?”

“I’m fairly certain that’s mine.”

“You’ve got something on your face.”

“Sorry, I thought you were someone else.”

“Do you know the way to ___?”

“You’re hurt. Do you need help?”

“That’s a fine ___ (cloak/hat/book/etc.). Where did you get it?”

“This might sound strange, but can I hide behind you for a moment?”

“You look like you could use a friend.”

“I think your dog just stole my lunch.”

“Hey, you dropped your coin purse.”

“I think we’re stuck in here together.”

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to overhear, but…”

“Are you the new neighbor?”

“First time in town?”

“I’m not sure if this belongs to you, but…”

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

“I’ve been hearing a lot about you.”

“Do you mind if I join you?”

“I think you’re in the wrong place.”

“You seem… out of place.”

“Don’t take this the wrong way, but are you following me?”

“That was a close call.”

“Not to alarm you, but someone’s watching you.”

“Mind if I walk with you?”

“You look like you’re in trouble.”

“Was that your doing back there?”

“You don’t look like you’re from around here.”

“That was impressive. How’d you manage it?”

“I’m guessing you’re not here by accident.”

“Do I want to know what just happened?”

“You might want to keep your voice down.”

“Is it always this strange around here?”

“I have a feeling we’re about to become acquainted whether we like it or not.”

“Looks like we’re in this together now.”
