14. our characters getting caught in the rain together

He had been waiting for at least a good ten minutes now. Normally, Carlos didn’t take this long to get out of class. Maybe it was some extra homework, maybe it was some classmate who needed help. Either way, Ricardo waited in the lobby, watching the other kids as they ran off. Some of them ran to their parents, others were still too busy playing before deciding to leave for the day. Still, he had his brother to wait for.

With a frown, he glanced up at the sky. There looked to be clouds on the horizon. Dark clouds. Thankfully, they didn’t live too far. If they walked, they’d be able to make it back home before the rain started. That failing, they could always just run.

[followinghisvoice]

A glance out the windows and he frowned, eyes narrowing. That looked pretty nasty and his teeth worried at his lower lip before he reached out, gently curling his fingers in Rico’s shirt sleeve. “The sooner we leave the more likely we’ll be to get home before this starts. It’s not any fun to be caught outside in it.” In fact, it made Carlos’s fear so much worse to be outside.

[godcompstrex]

"Thankfully not." he replied, finally sighing in relief as his brother came over. If they hurried, they could get home before it hit and hopefully before the thunder started. But he pulled his umbrella out anyway. No sense in fumbling for it when it was too late.

Ricardo pulled his arm free, reaching over to take Carlos' hand instead. "Come on. Lets get going before mama starts to worry." he began, tugging his hand for him to follow as he led them from the school grounds. "So, who was it this time? Darwin? Einstein?"

I’ve had my hands full with this last batch of defective StrexPets. Blasted things didn’t go through proper testing before public distribution.

I’ve already had three bites these past few days.’

[strexcorpriskmanagement]

Hmm~ Dr. deAngelo, right? Typically it isn’t prudent to publicly whine about the shortcomings of your own department.

[godcompstrex]

Really. I wouldn’t call it whining, rather voicing my concerns that someone amongst the cretins I surround myself with clearly isn’t doing their job.

[strexcorpriskmanagement]

Ah, as are we all, dear sir.

As it so happens, I’m in your department to discuss the issue. The executive board has been somewhat shielded from the details as to exactly how defective some of our models have turned out to be. I’d like to get the matter under control before another disaster is handed to PR.

I take it, you would not be the good man responsible?

[godcompstrex]

You would be calling on the right department, yes. It so happens that the last four batches were my department's responsibility... of which I am fully prepared to take the blame if we've managed to locate what exactly is causing the defect and if it was in direct relation to something we handled.

Lucky #7 Rico after all there are seven days in the work week.

7. my character calming yours down

R&D had its drawbacks, one of which was keeping data together. Computers were necessary as were harddrives and the occasional thumbstick. Of course, Ricardo was protective of these things. He kept them all properly up-to-date and protected behind security procedures and virus protection. However, with all the things they had to keep an eye on, there was the occasional missing file or two. Today however, it wasn’t just one thumbdrive… but rather all of them. Each and every single thumb drive in R&D was missing.

Naturally, Ricardo knew who was behind it and that he wouldn’t be able to get them back unless some sort of elaborate ransom had been paid (possibly in the price of several frozen chocolate pudding cups). For now, all he could do was ramble. And ramble he did over dinner and Kevin was there throughout the entire thing.

"That idiot! That condescending egotist with a brain the size of a kumquat!" came the outburst as he wagged his fork in lieu of his usual overtly heated arm-gestures when in these sort of moods. "I swear, tomorrow… the first thing I’m doing when I get back to work is to march right up to his office and demand to know what exactly he was thinking when he took all those thumb drives!”

We do not have to participate in this mini-skirt nonsense if we don’t own one, do we? I really just have a few duplicates of this one suit.

[godcompstrex]

I have my concerns about the miniskirt debacle myself. Hardly what I’d consider flattering, to be perfectly honest.

[strexmachine-blog]

It’s the movement that concerns me the most, I’m not calibrated to walk in something that restrictive.

[godcompstrex]

No… No, I don’t believe you were. But I suppose this is the cross we must bear for keeping our jobs.

[strexmachine-blog]

Apparently so. Though, you do at least have other options. They aren’t necessarily good options, but they’re options.

[godcompstrex]

If we find ourselves in some form of undress one way or another each day a week, I just might loose my mind! However, I am thankful Mister Vansten hasn't implemented Fishnet Friday... or anything of the sort.

[comforting-secrets]

"Andrea is one of your assistants, right?" Kevin asked. "I remember you having mentioned them before but I could never remember their names." He went on, only half-aware that he was rambling; no amount of drugs or alterations had ever been able to change that about him. "So that’s four…Lauren and Daniel would make six, and your other two…two, right?…your other two assistants would make eight…and I don’t know if Daniel is capable of ingesting organic matter so we would have to…"

He slowed down, Ricardo’s last comment finally striking him. The aether crackled and warmed, as though his sentience alone were capable of blushing.

"…I…don’t think I would mind that, actually." 

[godcompstrex]

"Andrea and Stefan, yes. They’ve always been fans of yours to be honest. I wouldn’t count on inviting Dave. He’d only ruin the mood." he laughed softly. The rambling was welcome. Again, it imbued a sense of normalcy through all this. If he closed his eyes and kept them closed, it felt like they were just on the phone and all these plans would come to fruition within a day or two. But then again, if he worked hard enough, maybe they could.

But he stopped, allowing himself the smallest smile as he let those words — both his and Kevin’s sink in. He really wouldn’t be able to let him out of his sight. Not after this. He couldn’t risk losing him again. “I was wondering… after our plans… it does get a little quiet around my apartment…” he began, unusually quiet.

[comforting-secrets]

"Yes?"

Kevin’s reply was also quiet; he could feel the heaviness in Ricardo’s words as though they held actual, physical weight upon him. 

Their relationship was a strange one. It had taken Kevin a while to realize (or believe; there was no proof) that Ricardo’s interest in him was not purely professional. Even after he’d realized it he had danced around the subject, busying himself with his job, not paying it any mind, only speaking to Ricardo when it was necessary, and keeping himself in a constant limbo of does or doesn’t he until he’d very near forgotten it. Then the transfer to Nightvale had happened, and being away from Desert Bluffs made him miss Ricardo simply being there, being a constant in his day-to-day life. 

And now they were apart, more apart than they’d ever been, and with a simple inquiry Kevin was thrown into limbo again.

[godcompstrex]

He was never one to voice out his feelings. He'd always lived with keeping them bottled up because there were other things that were more important than silly things like emotions and attachments. Now here it was, the one being he would give anything for all but ripped from his side by this ridiculous war. Oh, but he'd tried to keep in contact after the transfer but that just made everything even busier than it was. There was monitoring of the biomachines to be done, those at HQ and those that had been sent to Nightvale and that was a whole different kettle of fish altogether. Nevertheless, he hoped against all hope that Kevin had an inkling of an interest in him. He was charismatic to begin with, well liked by most everyone in the Bluffs. He could have anyone he wanted, after all.

He let out a breath. For one who could go on and on about bonds and covalents, wax lyrical about the developments in robotics not quite suiting his needs... he was finding it hard to find proper words. "I feel... no, I believe... I'd like to spend a bit more time with you outside the office." Ricardo murmured, still fumbling with his words, still trying to find a proper way to voice out exactly what he meant.

[godcompstrex]

(hands you my url curious)

Do I Follow Them?: Course I do!

Why Did I Follow Them?: Mutual follow. Also seemed like an awesome Kevin. Mun was not disappointed!

A Song For Our Muses: Who's They - Daughtry

Do I Ship Our Muses?: Well, obviously.

What I Think About The Mun: Mun seems like an absolute sweetheart and I believe this is true. We should talk more ooc so I can have scientific proof.
