Lord, what the hell am I doing here?

Comments

[silicone]

[ that's what we're here for, to build out the scene for u so u can relive the terrible nightmare of saturday. anyways we are Reunited here in the mcdonalds where eiden has decided to sit on the table instead of in a seat, sipping a diet coke while topper is just flopped over his knee as he doodles in his sketchbook. ]

Hi, [ flatly, though he glances up at the cross briefly. a slight smile. ] Couldn't stay away from the McDonald's even after yesterday either, huh?

[crucifer]

It's not like we've got a wide range of stuff to pick from. Not gonna go back to the selfie studio after that, and this place has got a few more things to look at than the Ikea.

[ So by process of elimination... ]

...You drawing?

[silicone]

Yeah, I guess if I had to choose at this point, the place where we had kangaroo court is more favorable.

[ so he gets it. he glances down, briefly twirling his pencil between his fingers and nods. ]

Yeah, killing some time. My team members are good subjects, to be honest.

[crucifer]

Sounds like a good hobby to have. Distraction if nothing else.

[ Will Eiden show him his work... ]

[silicone]

Yeah. It's been a while since it's just been a hobby.

[ his knee jerks a little at first like he wants to pull it away, but yeah he'll show him because he knows it's a fairly low stakes sketch. he still sometimes thinks he's at work drawing dicks.

it's just a nice profile of /throws dart shen qingqiu just looking out of a window with his sleeves all pooling at his elbow... ]

Figured I'd get back to it finally.

[crucifer]

[ If he just looked and it was just a dick it would be insanely funny. He wouldn't like, try to obnoxiously look though. Tilt his head, if Eiden seems receptive then look.

Hilariously though bceause it's Shen Qingqiu Wolfwood doesn't look for very long. He just nods once. ]

Looks great. Long hobby of yours? Pretty talented.

[silicone]

[ right he saves the ween drawing for like. not mcdonald's. probably. actually i don't think this notebook has those in it (yet???) anyways

he smiles a little, tucking the tiny pencil behind his ear. ]

Thanks... I'm designer back home. Drawing for work gets exhausting.

[crucifer]

[ (Eiden voice) I'm a luxury few can afford.

He math lady memes. ]

Like... an architect?

[ Like Kaveh? ]

[silicone]

[ he designs for the butt plug millionaire. it's sort of true. ]

... No, not like that.

[ he closes his sketchbook finally. ]

I design sex toys.

[crucifer]

[ Huh. Wow.

He doesn't think he's actually ever heard this because his planet is like. It is. ]

...Don't think I've ever met one of those before.

[ Or frankly. Seen one either. ]

[silicone]

[ yeah like. who has the time on no man's land actually??? ]

... Ta-da.

[ he smiles. ] It's not worth the pay, but it's all I've got so.

[crucifer]

[ Oh people definitely fuck on No Man's Land. Honestly I would not be surprised. People are kind of debauched as hell there. It's just not the crowd that Wolfwood hangs around so like. He knows they're out there...but it's new to him. ]

Job market being tough on you?

[ That sucks, man. ]

Don't think my planet would have better rates.

[silicone]

[ i'm scared thinking about this now ]

It's a real killer back on Earth. I have better prospects in Klein if I'm being honest. And I mean, here I get an allowance. It's crazy.

[ sadly jingles ]

[crucifer]

[ They also made both Vash and Wolfwood significantly hornier in the '98 anime, it's really funny. Like what happened there... ]

I don't know what the difference is. Is that a country or another planet?

The allowance isn't much, but it's better than being totally broke. I work on a per-contract basis myself.

[silicone]

[ so many things??? happened????? puts it in my mouth. ]

It's another... world. Sorry. This whole, getting tossed into a totally different world thing isn't totally new to me.

[ resting his chin in his hand now. ] Per-contract? What a way for a priest to live.

[crucifer]

[ Another world, huh... far be it for him to really question or judge this at this point. ]

Unfortunately, my church is a big stingy, you could say. So I take on a lot of different jobs to make up for it.

Living day-to-day, and all that.

[silicone]

Ah... supplementary income. That sucks. I guess you do what you can on a place called No Man's Land.

[crucifer]

It's pretty on the nose, yeah. Gotta provide and make do.

[silicone]

Okay, but like, isn't the Lord supposed to provide or whatever? Or is that more of an... internal thing. Like he gives you the strength to go through with things instead of just curling up on the ground with a stomach ache.

[crucifer]

Sure, the Lord provides... in the spiritual stuff.

Prayer isn't gonna put food on the table.

[ Though speaking of stomach aches. Thinks of one miserable Vash the Stampede. Please. Pray for him. ]

[silicone]

Definitely never did at the orphanage that's for sure. [ someone pray for vash and his tummy hurty disease. ] Wouldn't expect it to do the same now.

[crucifer]

[ Oh, glancing at Eiden. ]

Orphanage?

[silicone]

[ glancing back at him. ]

Yeah... grew up there.

[crucifer]

Well.

What a coincidence, so did I.

[silicone]

[ eyebrows raise ]

I... didn't see that coming.

Do we get like. Cool club jackets or something?
