♕ |[98]| show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive

[had_not_lived]

This is always my favorite curse to wake up to. These aren't as regular as the other weekends, but I guess it's about time you all came calling. I hadn't realized it'd been so long since the last.

If we haven't met yet, I'm Neil. Welcome to the City. It's kind of a strange place, but don't worry, most of you are probably only going to be visiting for a few days.

If we have met, I'm glad you've dropped by! I'll be at the bookstore most of the day, if you'd like to visit.


[ooc; please no duplicate neils (tho facedoubles are welcome), and no outright telling him he doesn't exist. Otherwise, anything goes! <3 BACKDATING WELCOME FOREVER, I will be out much of today so expect some delays, darlings.]

[He does, and all that's long enough past that he's not even terribly touchy about it. Living your life as you'd like is good for you, as it turns out.]

All right, but I'm getting the next one.

[He piles the books scattered across the counter a bit more neatly, making room for a countertop picnic.]

How've you been?

Hold on, let me write that down in my phone for next time. [Kate pulls out one of those new fangled modern monstrosities and types in a few phrases.]

Pretty good. Doing the same thing as usual. Busting up perps, taking them to jail. How's Todd?

[had_not_lived]

[Neil has gotten so good at his phone, Kate, you'd be proud! He doesn't even text people pictures of his feet these days.]

He's pretty good! Still working at the Library, so we're both surrounded with books all day long. Same as usual here, too, I guess.

[joiedeviolet]

[She still has that picture of his toes. Never deleting that.]

You sound happy.

[had_not_lived]

I am, more often than not.
