[ A haze of low voices drifts across the audio. Languorous words from the tongues of five am sleepwalkers and barflies, whose minds keep them running on the vapors of thin, early hours. There's the sound of someone pressing communicator keys, followed by a loud curse-  merda - as clumsy hands knock the device into camera mode. All he wanted was to check the weather or something. Lo and behold, there is Amory Felix with a complexion as flush as the cast of red-yellow light draping over him.  ]

Hey. A coke with rum. 

[ The words are set beneath a grumble, as he slides the device to the side, hitting an empty glass with a loud clink. ]

He sits at the bar, looking-- staring at something. Maybe the bartender he just ordered from. Or maybe he's even thinking, contending with the teeth currently gnawing dully at his conscious. His eyes widen and his lips draw to a small smirk as if silence just told a funny joke.  ]

You—You're definitely a two. [ And he can't help but chuckle. ]

[ooc: action is fine, if your character would be out barhopping at 5 am! >> ]

Calling it a curse just sounds like making excuses. And I did this curse better than you.

[fatespoken]

Define 'better.'

[adamantined]

I had signs, for starters.

Go home, Amory. You can rate your reflection. It's less likely to beat you up.

[fatespoken]

I'm all about being green.

If people can't take a few blunt words, then they're naturally pussies.

[adamantined]

Right because that's what I meant.

[fatespoken]

I know what you meant.

Why do you keeping on trying, Claire? I don't like you, you don't like me. I don't need you, of all people, as my life coach.

[adamantined]

Not liking you doesn't mean that I want to see you fall back into the same lifestyle you want to kick.

[fatespoken]

Don't you get sick of me telling you off?

[adamantined]

Ever since - I think you're a dick, Amory. And a jerk. And a huge pain in the ass. You either have your reasons for it or it's just a natural state of being for you. Whatever. I stopped trying to care what those reasons were a long time ago. But sometimes you can actually act like a human being, and whether or not I like you all that much has nothing to do with my wanting to see you succeed with this.

I'm not trying to be your life coach, but even the most annoying people need support from somewhere.


[ooc; WOW this notif was SO DELAYED jeez.]

[fatespoken]

I'm not here to make friends, nor get off on sticking my nose into other people's business.

Consider that I don't want your support. You're only a stranger, Claire.

[adamantined]

Fine.
