[Nexus] HALO 174: Just when you think you're not in Kansas anymore, turns out you are - Page 6

FireFox · 10-02-2012, 01:19 PM

Wow, has it really been that long?
Oh you know, just the usual stresses of the job. Having to deal with all the drama, wanting to plan strike missions but not having a target, trying to find a couch to rest on that isn't occupied by teenagers making out. Oh, the Council is new... That's just an ugly mess of political crap.

After a few moments, Chris will hear Kyne's surprised voice in his head. What do you want?

Chris winces a bit. Just thought I'd say hi, you know, see how you are doing and all...

McBish · 10-02-2012, 01:32 PM

((I think so. I don't think he was back around HALO before I took one of my from here.))

"Sound fun. Glad to hear this place hasn't changed that much. I had heard a bit about the council, I actually thought about going to them with this project, but it was decided to keep them out of it. They already have their own emergenct bunkers."

FireFox · 10-02-2012, 01:38 PM

Kyne is silent for awhile. She thinks Chris has to know about how cruel she was to Carrie. So why is he acting nice to her? It must be a trap. Really? I'm doing badly.

Yeah, makes sense... Tobias nods.

Oh...is it, like, 'Sgt. Slaughter will not get that stick outta his ass' badly? Oh the clumsy attempts at humor he is making. It would be almost cute.

McBish · 10-02-2012, 01:44 PM

"Alright, well thanks. I will make sure to let people know that you will be stopping by sometime. Don't worry about rushing. The project is still a long ways from being complete. I guess I will see you around."

FireFox · 10-02-2012, 01:52 PM

Um. Like, "Everybody hates me and the only thing I know how to do is kill and hurt so I'm just going to do that to bad people until someone better than I am kills me". The assassin's tone is forcedly casual.

Stop by anytime, Angie. And take care of yourself.

McBish · 10-02-2012, 01:55 PM

"Thanks, you to Tobias. Except for the stop by anytime part since you live here and all."

Angie shakes her head at herself and starts to head for the exit, but could very easily be stopped by any number of people.

...yeah that's pretty bad. Chris sort of blanks for a moment, not really sure how to react to that.

Chris probably leads Carrie to the bedroom, since he's in "let's play out a scene from a romance novel like right this second" mode. Why? Even I'm wondering why.

FireFox · 10-02-2012, 02:39 PM

Kyne continues to angst. It's what I deserve.

Beans · 10-02-2012, 02:43 PM

[Bedroom]
Carrie giggles.
It has been a while, hasn't it?

[Library]
Carrie joins in the task of wondering how Aurea could, possibly, fall for her even in a fictional setting.
...
...

Well...I'd be inclined to disagree. Seems like maybe putting yourself in that environment would tend to make things worse.

Chris grins. "It really has. Why don't we get some ambiance in here first? Rose petals, a bottle of wine..."

FireFox · 10-02-2012, 02:58 PM

I hurt Carrie. I can't come back. Why do you even care?

Beans · 10-02-2012, 03:05 PM

Uh... poof!
She summons up a wine list and a small bucket of petals, giving the former to Chris and beginning to spread around the latter.

Well, because I would like to be able to help, and...wait, are you saying you can't come back because someone told you that you can't come back?

Chris looks over the wine list, oh so conveniently forgetting to have a shirt on at the moment. "Hmm...vintage merlot sound good to you?"

Beans · 10-02-2012, 03:24 PM

Sure, that's---wow, shirtless already?
She shrugs and giggles, finishing the petal-placing.

Chris looks up innocently. "What? I'm not doing anything unusual here, no sir." He says with a grin.

Beans · 10-02-2012, 03:48 PM

[Bedroom]
Carrie rolls her eyes and giggles, summoning the wine Chris picked and two glasses.

Chris chuckles a bit and gets up, taking the bottle and uncorking it, pouring the contents into the two glasses.

Beans · 10-02-2012, 04:03 PM

Carrie sits on the edge of the bed, content if a bit bemused by Chris's recent silliness.

Chris finishes pouring the glasses and holds up his own glass. "To us, my dear, to our passion and love."

Beans · 10-02-2012, 04:14 PM

I'll drink to... quite a lot of things, but that is at the top of the list.
That and your recent sappiness.
She giggles and sips.

InyutheBeatIs · 10-02-2012, 04:18 PM

And Chris continues his sappy, cheesy acting self by sitting down next to her and wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

Beans · 10-02-2012, 04:19 PM

She nestles close, smiling in contentment.
Really, what's with you? Not that I mind, but you're being a bit silly.

At this moment, the styluses turn again, having been taken over by someone with more sense than the previous. "I just felt like I should be that way. I love you, and wanted to be as romantic as I could." At that moment he looks down at his chest. "...I may have overdone it with the shirtless thing though."

Beans · 10-02-2012, 04:26 PM

This is actually really scary.
She giggles, finishing her wine, and snuggles against him.
Yeah, it was kind of silly.
But nice.

((...mhmhm, mwahaha, MWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!

*ahem* Sorry. Couldn't resist. But yeah, hope I'm not being too creepy with this.))

Chris smiles and finishes his own wine, smiling back at Carrie. "Well I'm glad I made you happy, dear." He affectionately plants a kiss on her forehead.

Beans · 10-02-2012, 04:36 PM

She smiles and starts to undress herself, reaching for the curtain...

Chris reaches for the curtain as well, and so it is pulled down.
