Today's going to be hard.

  Walking behind Josh, he looked outside, blinking a couple times as he adjusted his eye sight to the sun. “Name’s Ryder…” He said, before looking around. “So are we going to need a cab or are we walking?”

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

"It's right around the corner," explained Joshua, "Il Bastardo." He kept walking down the street making another right on the corner. 7th Avenue was pretty quiet. The city was not exceptionally busy because of the day it was. It was also the middle of the day so the typical day time rush was not a problem. "Nice to meet you Ryder."

[ryderscott]

Today's going to be hard.

[ryderscott]

Lead the way.

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

Joshua pushed open the door of the hotel and made a right down 23rd street. It was still light out. Joshua squinted and shielded his eyes. He was not use to being outside during the day. Between the office and his dim apartment he didn't get out while the sun was still out. 

"The name's Josh by the way."

[ryderscott]

Today's going to be hard.

[ryderscott]

I just wanted to get wasted.. So anything is fine.

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

There's a quiet bar up the street. Let's go. First round is on me.

[ryderscott]

Today's going to be hard.

[ryderscott]

I just did..[bites his lower lip] 

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

Beer or Booze?

[ryderscott]

Today's going to be hard.

[ryderscott]

I just want to get a couple drinks in me honestly..

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

Why didn't you just say so?

[ryderscott]

Today's going to be hard.

[ryderscott]

No..Wait..Uhm.. I’m Ryder..Sorry, I’m a bit of a dick sometimes.

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

It's alright. No hard feelings. I have said much worse on a first encounter.

Maybe you just keep what ever is bothering you to your self till you actually want to talk about it? yeah?

[ryderscott]

Today's going to be hard.

[ryderscott]

Do I know you?

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

No I don't think so.

You seemed troubled. Sorry for bothering you.

[ryderscott]

Today's going to be hard.

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

Why the long face?

[spoiled-sutton]

Wednesday mornings are the worst.

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

Just depends on how you start the day

[dexterhollandsucks]

I need a fucking cigarette.

Or two. Or twenty. Someone sort me out because I cannot be fucked to walk to the shop and back. I can repay you in other ways.If

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

Relax, I always keep a spare pack in my bag. You wanna keep the pack?

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

Anyone?

Guessing my partner for the couples challenge died in his room?

Anyone wanna hang out for a little while before the challenge is over? If you get sick of me you can just walk away cause we are not partnered. What do you say?

Sitting @ the Hotel Bar

[onemorericsson-deactivated20160]

  Cooper was nervous, annoyed and he would probably end up pissed or upset for some reason or less after this weekend. Romeo wasn’t the guy he expected and thought of. The lunch they had just to make up what was old and buried now seemed to end but now he had to deal with the asshole and boredom that was of the male. “Yea thanks” He sighed before taking another sip. He was hearing about Romeo and Sutton, then Romeo and Isaiah, but he wasn’t too sure what was what. At least he was over his crush of Romeo or what was of Romeo. “The last thing he’ll do is sit on his ass and complain he’s old. Please, I can take the bullshit, I’ve known him for years now” 

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

"So you work with him or something?" asked Joshua. How anyone put up with Romeo long enough was beyond him. He was grateful that his work never crossed over to Romeo's field. He was solitary in his design work and he liked it that way and allowed him a certain amount of solitude; aside from his brother living with him, but that was just the way things were.

  When the bartender came back with their drinks again he thanked the gentleman and took a sip of his new drink. If he could pick anyone, it would definitely be someone that wasn’t Romeo. Maybe Jake or Naveen. Jason. He had his favorites but learning new people is always good. “There you go, at least you get to learn someone new.” Smiling with a small blush attached, he let out a laugh. “Good to know, I wouldn’t mind learning more of you either.” 

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

"Well good luck with Romeo," Joshua said swirling the drink around in the glass. His mind turned to Isaiah, he could put up with Romeo for some reason. Joshua suspected that it might even be love between them. He had heard here and there about the two of them; whispers between guests. He didn't want it to bother him but it did. Maybe there was a side of Romeo Joshua had never seen; something that Isaiah appreciated about the man. All Joshua saw was callousness, much like him self in many ways, but Joshua didn't believe he was half as cruel as the would be King of the Chelsea. "Don't let him pull any condescending bullshit on you," he warned.

  Soon enough he will get a message from Romeo, and what to expect wasn’t sure of. Cooper knew that Romeo wasn’t one to do anything and it was going to suck if he was left in the other’s room all weekend. Letting out a chuckle, he nodded at the silent thought of wishing luck. “Thanks, if I don’t show up after this weekend send a search party.” He joked with himself as he extended his hand to Josh. “Hello Josh, nice meeting you.” Not paying much attention to nail biting or not. Taking his drink and finishing it, he asked for another as he crossed his arms on the table. Taking a look at the other’s features. Something out of habit that Cooper did. “Who would you rather be paired with on this challenge or whatever you want to call it” 

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

Joshua picked up his drink again and finished it. "Guess I'll take another," he said to the bartender, while gesturing with the glass. He would keep drinking. It was how he got through the last little event the hotel had planned and last time it had worked out perfectly for him, he thought with a dry amusement. "Well I don't know the guy so I guess it wont be all that bad getting to know someone new. Wouldn't mind spending a weekend with you though," he said sheepishly hoping that he wouldn't have to answer the question honestly to this new person.

Joshua's thoughts on this 'couples night' thing

  He may have ditched Romeo last night but he had a very good reason and work and making money was legit. He even told Romeo he has to work a bit at the club. What the job was, was a lie but hell. He couldn’t tell everyone that he danced and took clothes off for money. “I think so to, Haven’t met with Romeo yet. So I’m sure he’s mad. Had work last night and my bracelet hasn’t gone off.” Cooper spoke taking a sip of his drink when it was handed to him. “I’m Cooper by the way” 

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

Joshua didn't know how long the package had been sitting on his door step. He had been spending days at a time in his room. Yesterday he had forgotten to eat. Had he eaten today? He couldn't remember. He would call the front desk from his room later and get connected to Milo's room so he could leave a voicemail. Maybe he could still complete the Hotel's little challenge still. "You are partners with Romeo? Good luck with that," Joshua scoffed. "Name is Josh Fitzgerald," he said extending his hand to cooper noticing his chewed up nails. The sight made his stomach turn only slightly. Had he been biting his nails that low? His fingers reminded him of tiny members of a fight club, beaten and slightly bloody.

~Walking past the hotel bar, rubbing at his wrist, Cooper decides he might as well get a drink to get the edge of the sting away. Sitting next to someone, he smiles over to him and orders a Black Velvet~ Having fun with the tase bracelet?

[omgjoshuafitzgerald]

Joshua takes a sip of his drink to hid a smile of his own as the guy looks over. He two had received a bracelet with instructions to wear the device all day. The note had said his partner for the day would be someone named Milo. He had yet to see him so he suspected that was why his bracelet had not shocked him yet. "I think these things activate when the matching one to the set gets within distance," he said with uncertainty, "Haven't met my partner just yet."
