Gotta spend some time, love. (Some time with me)

[goingfishing]

Who: Julie and Raleigh, doing some important date stuff and then You?
What?: The first thread is some fluff before Halloween horrors. Then Raleigh observes what's going on. Give me your affected y'all.
When?: Last night into this morning, and then throughout the event.
Warnings: Potential upset puppydog. Also always potential violence.

Raleigh doesn't miss the sense of nervousness. He does miss having more to do then the occasional construction job. Having Julie however - well a good friend makes it more then worth his while. More then a friend - at least he's starting to think that way. In this situation you rely on whoever you can. He related to her. That sense of isolation, that sense of being alone in the face of insurmountable odds.

Kaiju did sound easier then zombies however.

Sitting outside their favorite fire noodle restaurant, Raleigh is doodling. He's not good. Just flowers and trees and bees.

[He gestures - the place is small. A hole in the wall with a few tables and a few people.]

...Could you handle a snack? I just got off work. It's rude to eat in front of people without them eating too and I'm starving.

[mightythinice]

A snack sounds good.

[she looks towards the counter, and then back at him. She'd eat everything, until she couldn't eat anymore, if she could.]

So, who are you? What's your name?

[goingfishing]

Raleigh Becket. [He offers her a hand] And you?

[mightythinice]

[she takes his hand, standard strength for a little girl]

Ellie.

[goingfishing]

Ellie.

Pick your poison man. You new?

[mightythinice]

Yep, just got here yesterday. Is it obvious?

[she stares at all the options, and finally picks the picture that looks the most delicious to her-- a pastry of sorts]

[goingfishing]

...Nah. Just a lucky guess. [kind of obvious what are you going to od though.]

Excellent choice. [he passes the money forward] So where you from?

[mightythinice]

[if he was willing to pay, she was more than willing to accept the charity. Why turn down free food, if someone was actually kind enough to offer?]

Boston. You?

[goingfishing]

Alaska originally, but all over mostly. Rolling stone, like Bob Dyland said.

[mightythinice]

Bob Dyland? Who's that?

[she grabs the pastry as soon as it's handed to her, eager]

[goingfishing]

Dylan. [He raises an eyebrow] He was a singer. My dad liked him. Not a big music fan huh?

[mightythinice]

I haven't heard much in the way of music. It's kind of a lost artform.

[goingfishing]

What kind of a world do you live in?

[He's sipping on his own water casually] I mean if you don't mind me asking.

[mightythinice]

Earth. It's just... pretty busted, you know? Not a lot going for us right now. Civilization's in the shit hole, you know. Think post apocalypse.

[goingfishing]

Post apocalypse. [He folds his hands] Seems pretty harsh.

[Tell him more kiddo. He sits back in his chair and watches a few of the patrons come and go]

You mind if I get something to drink real quick?

[mightythinice]

Yeah. [she sighs at the first statement, before digging into the pastry he'd bought her with a vengeance. Without grace, she answers his second question easily]

Mah, I dun mindff. [god that pastry was delicious, though. She'd have to thank him for buying it. Though she had zero awareness about her manners.]

[goingfishing]

[Raleigh is gone for a moment before he returns with two drinks. Soda for both. He sets one in front of her.]

Two for one deal.

...What's your monster?
