While you're here, please try to conduct yourself appropriately. If something is illegal in your world, it's likely frowned upon in the City; don't do it.

The police are still here and working in spite of the recent revolution. We can be contacted via the network in the event of an emergency.

[Now that business is out of the way:]

I'll be checking my messages all weekend, if there's anyone I know here.


[ooc: Backdated to whenever-o'-clock this weekend and open to backtags for the rest of forever! Anything goes. ...Except killing. No killing.]

[othersdie]

But it didn't scare you away.

[prettyimpulsive]

It would take more than that to scare me away especially today.

[othersdie]

I'm glad you came. I'm never sure that you'll be able to.

[prettyimpulsive]

But I haven't missed once...have I? [She wouldn't really be able to tell if she did.]

[othersdie]

No, you haven't. Not yet.

It's hard to believe that anything good can keep happening.

[prettyimpulsive]

More good things should happen to you. Are you still living with Todd and Neil?

[othersdie]

Maybe. [Euphie, how are you still the most perfect person? You happened; that's a good thing.]

Yes, I am, and none of us have plans to leave.

[prettyimpulsive]

Good. I think you all need each other.

Is that where I'll find you? Or should we go somewhere else?

[othersdie]

I know that I need them.

We should meet somewhere else. Where would you like to go?

[prettyimpulsive]

I'd say the cafe I used to work at for Cain, but I think it will be crowded. Maybe the gardens?

[othersdie]

The gardens shouldn't be bad. I can bring something to eat... we can make a [date?] picnic of it.

[prettyimpulsive]

I'd like that. I want to see you. It feels like I just did, but you must have so much to tell me. The City is never boring.

[othersdie]

It's been almost four months here. Last month--I'll tell you about it when I see you.

[prettyimpulsive]

I look forward to it. Don't let me wait too long in looking for food.

[othersdie]

I won't. It's been long enough.

Ready for action if you are!

[prettyimpulsive]

I'll see you soon. I'll be the girl with the pink hair. [Lightly teasing.]

Fff, always ready for action!

[othersdie]

I don't know if that will be enough to go on... [Because there are so many pink-haired princesses out and about today.

But Euphie is, of course, easy enough to find, and it's only a matter of minutes before Justin is shuffling up to her with sandwiches (he thinks he remembered to put jam or something on the bread in his hurry) and customary uncertainty. She might have met someone else more attractive and amusing the last three minutes, y'know.]

Hey.

Hot!

[prettyimpulsive]

[She laughed as they disconnected. Such an amusing boyfriend she has. And fortunately for him she doesn't find anyone more attractive or amusing in these critical three minutes. That could have been awkward. As it is she's just extremely ready for a hug. There is no defense for this hug. Be hugged, Justin. Be hugged.] It's so good to see you. [Which she will do when she isn't too close to do so.]

[othersdie]

[Hugs are acceptable when they're from Euphie, especially since she hasn't found someone better to hang out with. He even returns the gesture.] You too. How have you been? Since... the last time I talked to you. A few minutes ago.

[prettyimpulsive]

[She giggles a bit.] I've been fine of course. I want to hear about you, Justin.

[othersdie]

[It's good to hear her laugh. That's a sound Justin won't ever get tired of.] I'm fine. And--and there was a revolution, but nothing changed.

[prettyimpulsive]

A revolution? [Her eyes widen.] What happened? [She doesn't really believe nothing changed. Maybe not in terms of the "politics" of the place, but memories are changed and that is always something.]

[othersdie]

Strangers began rallying us for a political coup. They promised to give us something in exchange for our help and to put an end to the curses. [If Justin sounds unimpressed, it's because he legitimately is unimpressed with them. And, yeah, that's kind of the way he sounds all the time, but.] I don't know how many people ended up helping them, but they successfully took over the deities' office building.

[prettyimpulsive]

What did you do?

[othersdie]

Nothing. I don't trust them any more than I trusted the deities.

[He absently reaches over to touch her hair.]
