[OPEN] October Post

Redbright Institute
Open to Redbright affiliates.

[Oliver is getting settled into his new role now. He can often be seen out and about, fixing computers, phones, or whatever else might need doing. It's often basic stuff. Not too different from his last job in the end besides the kinds of people he's working around. Turns out the supernatural are just as prone to not realizing their printer isn't plugged in as anyone else.

He tries to make small talk with other staff members where he can, but he's a little awkward about it. Definitely still an outsider, and not just because he's a standard human. Much of the time he's not working on projects he's in his office, typing at his computer but more than available if anyone should come knocking.]


Some Bar Somewhere
OTA, Friday evenings.

[After a week of work it's nice kick back and relax with a beer or two. He stands at the bar, tending to keep to himself at first, though he's responsive to small talk.

It's later on when he's a little more tipsy he's less capable of that. A little more likely to bump into someone followed by a stuttered apology. He can be found outside too, attempting to clear his head, but maybe wincing a little at the smoke of cigarettes inevitably lit near the door.]


Coffee Shop
OTA, whenever.

[Sometimes a guy's got to have coffee. He's more than capable of making his own, but he appreciates the fancy kind beyond his skill that no good barista would consider coffee anymore. Especially when there are seasonal varieties for him to enjoy.

Maybe his pumpkin spice latte is a little eye roll worthy, but hey, it tastes really good.]

a bar

[Okay so sometimes it's nice to go to a bar that isn't crawling in fae. He loves them, he really does, but sometimes Finnick just needs to go somewhere that isn't buzzing with magic all the time. It can be relaxing to get away from all of that once in a while. It helps that humans tend to be smitten with him the moment he sits next to them at the bar or walks in their general eyesight, but he has his alluring glamour turned down a bit tonight so he won't catch so much attention.]

[Of course that's where Oliver bumps into him. Finnick's not a small man by any means, so it's to be expected, but he can tell a moment later that his size isn't the only reason for their collision.]


Oh, I'm sorry.

[He speaks in that deep, smooth voice of his, which has become almost a defense mechanism.
thelittlemerman: (smile//dimples for days)

I'm fine.

[He smiles to reassure him, and then glances down at Oliver's drink.]

Did you spill anything? Please let me buy you another if you lost any of your drink on my account.

some bar

Fuck off!

[ Party can really only be described as lit at this point in his evening. He'd come out to have a good time and let off some steam and maybe get his rocks off, but instead he seems to have found himself narrowly avoid a bar fight with a big guy twice his size.

He's a few hairs short of being asked to leave the bar as he flips the guy off and turns away quickly, but his coordination is pretty hampered and he shoulder-checks Oliver by accident as he tries to get away from the bartender, who is clearly not on his side right now.
]

Watch out.

[ His words are slurred, but his anger still hasn't dissipated. If he were sober, he might have wondered whether he'd always been this quick to anger or whether this was a werewolf thing, but he's not sober and he doesn't really give a shit. ]
injectablefame: (You'll invest yourself in me)

[personal profile] injectablefame 2016-10-15 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Party doesn't mind the touch or shrug it off. He's tactile by nature and after almost getting in that fight, it's a little grounding. His anger starts to dissipate as his emotions catch up to the rest of him. ]

'M fine. That guy's the one with the problem. This bar sucks, anyway.

[ The last part is pitched over his shoulder at the bartender. ]

You wanna get outta here with me?
injectablefame: (Well I'll choose the life I've taken)

[personal profile] injectablefame 2016-10-15 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Party squints at him, trying to suss out if that was a joke or not. ]

Hah! I don't know... another bar? Club or something?

[ He leans in with a sly grin, because he is at least half hitting on him. ]

My place?
injectablefame: (I don't care how much)

[personal profile] injectablefame 2016-10-15 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I can be convincing.

[ It's probably the least convincing delivery of that sentence in the history of humanity. ]

What's your name?
injectablefame: (I don't care how much)

[personal profile] injectablefame 2016-10-16 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Party.

[ He looks over his shoulder to catch the bartender with the bouncer, gesturing towards him. ]

And that's my cue. Are you coming? 'Cause I ain't gonna drop a glass slipper here.

Coffee Shop

[Fancy coffee is quickly becoming one of Liadan's weaknesses. London has more types and flavours of coffee than she previously knew existed. And so, when she gets sick of looking for apartments or advertising her soon-to-be-open daycare, she and Johnny head out in search of a new shop and new flavour.

She's been hearing a lot about this pumpkin spice latte and decides to order one for herself, and a child's hot cocoa for her son. She gets them settled at a table in the corner before taking her first sip.]


"Mmmm ... I can see what all the fuss is about now."

coffee!

[Annie, too, had ordered herself a pumpkin spice latte. It was one of her weaknesses around this time, enjoying the spices, the way it filled her nose and just made her think of autumn.

But that's the thing. She's been waiting for a while for hers, and this other guy has just reached up to take the coffee that she's quite sure should have been hers.

Usually, she'd let it go. But she was working on her ability to talk to people, and, well. This was going to be an experiment.]
Uhm, excuse me. Sorry, hi- I think- I think that's my coffee...?

[Natasha recognizes Oliver from around campus, though she hasn't had much cause to seek out his help. For her age, she's pretty sharp when it comes to things like adding email accounts to her phone, not opening email attachments from people she doesn't know, who don't know how to spell her name and who claim to be from legitimate companies while sending from completely unidentifiable domains.

But she does recognize him, which makes her more forgiving when he bumps into her a few drinks in.]


Don't worry about it. I've had worse.

[Aw cute, the human's embarrassed.]

Well, let me buy you a drink anyway, just for the misfortune of running into me in the first place.

[Oliver doesn't have much time before Finnick's waving down the bartender.]

[Liadan doesn't mind being overheard - actually, she could use some adult conversation that wasn't about rent or business plans.]

It's my first time having one but I'm pretty sure it won't be the last.
anniesgonemad: (shy)

[personal profile] anniesgonemad 2016-10-19 04:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Annie shakes her head.] No, no, it's okay. You can, ah, you can have this one. You got to it first. I don't mind.

[she gives him a soft smile.] I don't really want to inconvenience you.
