[ around Wyver | open ]
[ It felt like a lifetime, but it was really just a year and a half that he'd spent in Metropolis, lived and loved and helped rebuild. He tries to remind himself of that as he gets to know this new place, as he learns the ways of Wyver. There are parts of it that remind him of the city, but so many new things, new and fantastical, and he finds himself spending time out in the city just walking to get a feel for the place. It nets him a job, eventually: simple work, farm work really, down at the Dragon pens. He's not sure if he'll stick with it, since he's been considering what some of the others have been talking about in regards to the press, but for now, it's enough. Combining that with the money they'd made off of the dragon heads, and he was at least satisfied that he wouldn't have to worry about his finances for the foreseeable future.

It allows him to have a little fun at all the interesting shops and businesses that he happens to find; he'd had to replace his wardrobe and it'd been a bit of a task, finding something comparable after his clothing had been ripped to shreds. Thankfully, at least one shop had had something similar to the flannel he preferred. But that had just been the necessities. The fun had been in the new fruits and vegetables and foods and seasonings, all of which he was still experimenting with. It was a common thing for Clark to make his way back to his little house with a full bag of groceries. Thankfully, his roommate seemed amenable to trying most anything he came up with that he deemed edible. And some he didn't.

Regardless, he's doing his best to adopt the city as his own, to adopt this world as his own. Some of the awfulness in the streets is frustrating, but he reminds himself not to be too unkind, points out to himself how similar it was to the talk hosts and pundits from his own world. Which is frustrating in and of itself, but given the way the cheer starts returning to the city after a bit, he does his best to focus on the celebrations instead of the grumblings and that helps more than it doesn't. ]



[ middle of a brawl | week two | open ]
[ It's while he's enjoying a drink after work that it happens; it's been happening the last few days, and he'd considered going straight home. But he'd come to really enjoy the particular home made brew that this pub provided and he'd wanted a treat. And yet, somehow, invariably, he'd ended up shoved off of his barstool (mostly to keep someone from breaking their hand) and the crowd was egging him on to join in.

He had absolutely no intention of doing anything of the like, but it seemed like the others involved were taking that as an insult, and now he's... well, he's doing his best to back away slooooowly. ]

[Clearly someone had a sense of humor. Or maybe they'd just seen that so far, she hadn't killed him. Or him her. Or... whatever they were paying attention to. Out of the myriad of people she could get stuck with, it seems they'd opted to tuck her in with one of the few that she was getting along with.

She kind of felt sorry for him.]


I didn't. I was told this is where I'm supposed to be staying.

[A quiet moment, not really sure how to do this. She didn't do roommates well. Or people. Or friends. Or... nope, just people.]

Looks like you're stuck with me again. Unless you want me to go find somewhere else...
assholic: (Down - 1)

[personal profile] assholic 2017-12-02 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I got supplies.

[They'd split the profits evenly, and while he'd opted to get a shirt and food, she'd stocked up on bottles that clinked when she shrugged her shoulder, her bag over it moving and setting her 'supplies' shifting against each other.]

What, were you planning on wooing whoever you got stuck with with food? Sorry to disappoint. I, ah... Just show me where my bed is and I'll go put this shit away and grab a shower.

[Because she hadn't yet, and she was beginning to smell. She'd bought a second set of clothes, but she planned on only using it for when she had to wash her main set. Like now.]
assholic: (Smile - Smug 1)

[personal profile] assholic 2017-12-02 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
My home never smelled like roast...

[Her place smelled like old pizza, old alcohol, and maybe a little regret.

She shrugged her bag up higher, then went to walk past him.]


Good. The less sun I get, the better. Don't wait on me. I'm sure there's growing things on you that need to grow more. Eat up.
assholic: (Look - Bitchy Down 1)

[personal profile] assholic 2017-12-02 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[She set her bag in 'her' room, then went to snag a shower, putting her filthy snake-goo clothes in another bag and getting every inch of herself as clean as she could before she put on the light-grey jeans she'd managed to find along with another black tshirt, not too different from the one she already had.

Dirty clothes bundled up, she came out to the main room to eye Clark on the couch.]


There a washer or something around here?
assholic: (Look - Seriously? 1)

[personal profile] assholic 2017-12-02 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I can do my own dirty laundry, Alf. You're not my house bitch and I'm an adult. Just point me towards it.
assholic: (Doubt - 1)

[personal profile] assholic 2017-12-02 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine.

[She moved to the basket, dumping her stuff in with his, then taking the entire thing and propping it up on her hip.]

Look at me, conserving water.

[She could do her own laundry, Clark. And his. He seemed to have a thing for being a housewife and she wasn't used to having anyone doing things for her. It was weird. So she countered it by doing her own shit. And some of his.]
assholic: (Suspicious - 1)

[personal profile] assholic 2017-12-03 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Shut up.

[Called back over her shoulder as she both got used to the layout of the house and found her way to where the washing machine was. It was... interesting, to say the least, but at least it wasn't something out of an old-timey movie with one of those boards or a crank on it. This? This she could manage.]
assholic: (Drinking - Regret 1)

[personal profile] assholic 2017-12-03 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
[After getting the load started, she came back in, making a detour into her room to pull out one of the bottles, then headed into the kitchen. She knew what he'd say, knew that he'd play it off as it not mattering, and it bothered her that it bothered her.

So she grabbed a roll, then went over to slouch into a chair, uncorking the bottle, taking a sip, then washing it down with... a mouthful of roll. It was good enough, right? At least it wasn't peanut butter out of a jar...]
assholic: (Drinking - Bottle 1)

[personal profile] assholic 2017-12-03 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey, she's not grumping. She's... relaxing. It had been a strenuous day for her; first having to deal with someone bonding with her emotions, multiple times as she had to learn how to pilot a goddamn spaceship. Then she had to boat across the water, get goo in places that goo should not be unless it was goo specific to-- never mind. And to top it off, she was in some backwater place that had things that ran on magic, drinking god knows what made from who has a fucking clue while Mr. Shirtless of the year over there sat there looking entirely okay with his lot in life after making a meal that she couldn't pull off if she spent a month trying to.

She tipped the bottle back and took a few very long, very deep swallows, muffling the gasp at the burn with a mouthful of roll. Clearly, she was very adult.]


So... What the fuck are we supposed to be doing down here again?
assholic: (Down - 3)

[personal profile] assholic 2017-12-03 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Do you really need to train how to fight if you hit as hard as you do?

[That was how she looked at it. Everyone was flipping around being a goddamn ninja. Who had time for that?

Another drink, this one a bit less desperate to wash away the day.]


What kind of job?
assholic: (Profile - Hair 2)

[personal profile] assholic 2017-12-03 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Wait, you got killed?

[Well, that was brand new information. She narrowed her eyes at him, trying to see if he was like the other 'resurrected' weirdos she'd come across.]

You don't happen to know an organization called 'The Hand', do you? Because if so, I'm not sure this is going to work, if only because you might kill me in my sleep.

[The job thing was heard, but it was less important right now than possible ninja assassinations.]

[On the idea of it, sure, but she hadn't realized he'd actually died. That didn't really sit with the whole talking to her face thing. She'd thought he'd just set himself up for it, had been ready to go, like Matt...

Maybe she needed to stop comparing him to the men in her life.]


Wonderful. Maybe we're all dead and they have their little zombie army. You're not craving brains are you?
