Pizza Pizza |Colin & Dylan|

[colin-harris-mythos-deactivated]

Colin looked up as the young man replied to his comment, then sat up straight. “Oh by all means” he said motioning his long arm to the seat across from him. The place was pretty busy and he didn’t mind the company. He had ordered a pizza that was large enough for the both of them so he thought he should offer. “If you haven’t ordered yet, I have a large supreme on the way, you’re welcome to it if you like.” As they sat at the table and waited for a waitress to show up, Colin decided that he wasn’t going to waste such a nice day. He definitely wouldn’t be going back to work after he was done here, but he could call and tell them that later. He took another quick sip of his drink. “Have we met before?” Colin couldn’t remember, it had been such a busy time for him that he hadn’t been paying much attention to the faces he had been seeing around town.

He couldn't explain why he was so relieved that the man had agreed to let him sit with him, but perhaps it was because he was subconsciously hoping that he could get some food out of the deal. It appeared that he was going to be lucky after all. He wanted to turn him down. He wanted to be able to say 'No thanks, I can get my own', but the reality was he was really fortunate to have run into the man. So instead he gave in and accepted, "Thanks man. That would be great." On top of that he realized that he had never even met this guy. "Um no, I don't think so. I'm Dylan." He stood up and reached across the table to extend his hand in greeting.

Decisions ✧ Dylan & Jo

[josephinekeller]

Jo had been busy at Logos or rather Logos had been busy and so she had been too. She was glad for her enhanced speed and strength that enabled her to carry just a little more dishes without real effort. Of course she was careful to not overdo it and raise suspicions. Sure mythics had the same rights as humans now, officially and legally, but that didn’t mean everyone was miraculously their friend and coming out as a mythic was safe now. She noticed the guy as soon as he walked in because he seemed lost in thoughts and when he talked to her like she was another customer, she knew he was in fact somewhere else with his thoughts Se recognized him from Amara’s party and, how she had remembered later, from the memorial. He was that social worker guy and she’d rather avoid him, but she was working and being nice to the customers was part of it. “Well I think my boss would object to that,” she said smiling at him and started to wipe down the table that had a few coffee stains from the previous customers. “You’re Dylan right? The social worker dude?”

[lost-dylan-reynolds]

He couldn't believe that he had been so wrapped up in his head that he didn't even realize the person he was addressing worked there. "Oh shit, my bad..." He shook his head and chuckled absentmindedly. Dylan was sure that she thought he was a complete moron and he didn't blame her. "Yeah, Jo right? It's nice to see you again." There had been a strange atmosphere in their conversation when he had seen her at the party and while he was certainly intrigued to learn what was going on he didn't want to make the girl feel uncomfortable. He remembered her saying she was a foster and if that were true it would make perfect sense if she were apprehensive towards him. "So you work for Alex huh?" Dylan really needed to talk to him again if he was going to continue the work with the families, sooner rather than later.

August: What are ya' trying ta' do?

August: Thanks, mate. Just.. takes a while.

Dylan: Um it's kinda difficult to explain and not on the phone, but it's for the families.

Dylan: Yeah I've got you. I'm still not really together.

Dylan: Actually I could use some advice. You free to grab a beer or something?

August: Sorry mate, haven't been 'round to talk to him.

August: Eh, better than I was before.

Dylan: No it's fine, but I could probably use some help if you'd be willing. Actually I really don't even know what to do anymore.

Dylan: I'm glad you're doing better though.

[lost-dylan-reynolds]

Text: Dylan

August: What are ya' working as, again?

August: Fine, mate, had ta' get away for a while hence why ya' didn't see me 'round.

Dylan: Um I thought Jonah might have told you. It's special work for the families struggling.

Dylan: Are you doing alright now?

[lost-dylan-reynolds]

Text: Dylan

August: Hey, mate, haven't seen ya' since that party a couple weeks ago.

August: Wanted ta' know how Atlanta's been treating ya'.

Dylan: Hey

Dylan: It's good to hear from you.

Dylan: It's alright I guess. Work's slow and a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. How are you?

Decisions ✧ Dylan & OPEN

It was time to make a decision. Several actually and none of them would be easy. Shane had been more than understanding that the work he was doing wasn't earning him any money, but it didn't help his guilt. Offering him a place to stay was one thing, but Shane was essentially feeding him as well. He had twenty dollars left and there wasn't anymore income coming his way anytime soon. After everything Shane had done for him, he was not going to ask for money and he didn't feel right asking Jonah either. He had refused to tell anyone that he was back. Not his family, not Alanna's family, not his friends, not his coworkers, not anyone. How was he going to explain how he and his family just suddenly disappeared? It was just too dangerous and he couldn't risk anyone knowing the truth. However, none of that changed the fact that he needed money and he was tired of feeling like a charity case. As he made his way through the streets of Little Five Points trying to figure out what to do he found himself in front of Logos and headed inside. After ordering his drink and taking a seat he noticed someone looking for place to sit and offered the one next to him. "You can take this seat if you want."

Pizza Pizza |Colin & Dylan|

Colin had been to quite a few of the restaurants in town; but today he felt like changing things up and eating somewhere he had yet to try. He had passed the pizza place a number of times but never really gave it a second look until now. He had placed his order and went to sit at the tables outside. It was such a nice day that he figured he might as well enjoy it. He took a sip off his sweet tea and then sat back putting his arms behind his head, letting the sun hit his face, waiting for his pizza to come out. Spring in Seattle only meant a lot of rain. He was starting to feel better about his choice to leave. “I hope it stays this nice” he commented. 

[lost-dylan-reynolds]

Things were going slow, too slow and there wasn't really anything he could do about it. The idea was all well and good, but actually carrying it out was an entirely different story. His intentions were admirable and there were even those willing to help, but in reality their task was far more difficult than Dylan could have ever imagined. The worst part about it was that his finances were running out and he had no way to change that and continue what he was doing for the families. Soon he might have to abandon his cause in order to take care of himself and the thought sickened him. He spent a lot of his time wandering the streets of Little Five Points while he waited for things to fall into place and as he passed a pizza shop the smell drew him in. He stopped realizing that he was actually gaining his appetite back and that pizza sounded delicious. Then he heard someone nearby say something. Dylan turned to address the man, "Yeah me too." He hadn't really noticed the weather until the other pointed it out. He didn't notice much of anything anymore, but he was glad that it was finally starting to warm up. He spent most of his time outside and it would be nice if he wasn't freezing his ass off all the time. "Mind if I join you?" The majority of the tables were full and he was making an effort to gain some more friends in the community.

Words of Worry {August & Dylan}

[patrickbrenan-deactivated201406]

"I’m not sure if I’ll ever be myself again," August confessed, running his tongue along his lower lip. He had a strong feeling sadness would always linger inside of him, with every smile, with every laugh. There would be a reminder that loss happened. Of course, it would help if he were actually dealing with the matter, instead of merely pretending he was. But that was a mess for another day. "Ya’ it sucks. All of it sucks." He shrugged, finishing up his coffee and tossing it into the trash. "I hope everything goes well with ya’ and I guess if ya’ need anything, well, I’m usually round here."

[lost-dylan-reynolds]

"Yeah..." he nodded a few times his voice barely above a whisper. He would never be the same again. There was no way that he could ever be the same man that he was before he lost everything. He had no family, no job, no place of his own, he couldn't really even afford the coffee he was drinking. Every minute of every day he was reminded of those things, how could he ever go back? "Yeah it does." He found August's way of describing the situation almost amusing, but it did suck. It did a lot more than suck, but that was one way to describe it he supposed. "Alright thanks man," he nodded, gave a small smile and waved as August left. Dylan was glad that it seemed like he might have someone to talk to around here. He still only knew a few people in the area and he could always use another.
