[Blake twitches when Jayden plops himself down on the couch. It's reality going nuts that's putting him on edge.]
Don't you have anybody else to piss off? I haven't seen you in weeks - don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining - and now you decide to show up?
no subject
[The world is going nuts and here he is spending it with the craziest fuck on the planet. Quite the surprise, isn't it? He clucks his tongue as his back hunches over his knees, elbows resting on those twigs for legs.]
Been busy with things. I was going to send you a Thanksgiving card.
no subject
[He snorts] How fuckin' thoughtful.
Huh, it's near Thanksgiving, isn't it. I forgot all about it. Not having to hear the family hang around and bitch, that's one good thing about this.
no subject
[He stares at the TV with somewhat interest at the guy in his truck doing. Low and behold: He's driving. Real fuckin' exciting shit here.]
For a place that isn't on any map in the United States, they sure do like to keep to tradition. Haven't seen my family in a while...
no subject
[You don't appreciate the subtleties. He's driving on ice.]
[He reins himself in a little.]
You have a family?
[Blake has honestly never thought of that.]
I thought you just dropped full-grown out of the asshole dimension.
no subject
[Well since we're getting personal now...]
I try to be keep tabs on my parents whenever I can. It isn't a whole lot but... the least I owe them is a phone call.
no subject
[He grunts.] Good luck with making a call to anyplace in the real world from here. It never works.
no subject
Thanks for the reminder. I'll take those words of advice to heart the next time I try.
no subject
[He folds his arms.] I bet you miss the real world plenty. Back where everybody was kissing your ass and calling you a hero.
no subject
He also didn't realize Carter is a 15-year old high school kid.]
Didn't care that much about the praise. That job was the only job I knew what to do. I wasn't ready to suddenly become a guardian...I'm still not.
no subject
[Hey! In terms of emotional maturity, he is at least fifteen and a half.]
[He snorts.] Sure you didn't. They had you on TV all the time like you were goddamn Superman.
[Some of the assholish expression falls off his face.] Nobody ever is. But that's what your job is now, so you gotta do it. Somebody's gotta keep an eye on that kid.
no subject
[He glances over at Blake.] For about fifteen seconds before it was time to work again. I was just doing my job. Publicity's nice but it gets in the way from everything else.
Can't really do that anymore. I'm sort of left in the dust in all this.
no subject
Don't fuckin' lie. You were loving it.
[God knows Blake would have, if it were him.]
[He's kind of curious despite himself.] What did they do, let you run the talk show circuit then shove you on to the next kiddy killer case?
[The lines on his face deepen and his eyes sharpen.] You better not be telling me you lost track of Shaun Mars.
no subject
[Huh, this show still going on?
Norman readjusts himself in his seat, teetering between uncomfortable and all-too familiar with his surroundings.]
What are you talking about? I didn't lose Shaun. Probably gone off to find another Pokemon again in the middle of this mess.
no subject
[Blake's a little mollified.] Oh. Good. For a second there you sounded like you'd gone and screwed it up.
[He regards the ice and snow on the TV for a while.]
Kid looks up to you.
no subject
He needed to piss now and so he does, making his way into the bathroom though-- Why is coming right back out so suddenly? And why in the hell does he have a case of beer at hand.]
You should call the front desk. There's a convenience store in your bathroom.
no subject
[Hey, maybe he's leaving. Damn, wrong door. Wait, that light didn't look right...]
[Blake twists around and heaves a sigh.] Great. Can't keep anything in the goddamn right place.
[He catches the welcome sight of beer and holds his hand out.] Gimme one of those.
no subject
[He looks down at the case before walking back over to the couch.] Are you okay with IPA?
no subject
Right now, I'll take what I can get.
[He pauses for a second.]
As long as you didn't piss in it.
no subject
Story of their fuckin' lives.]
You got me Blake. I took a piss in all of them and then sealed them airtight.
[Now here's a trick he learned from undergrad he doesn't utilize as often: using a lighter as a beer opener.
He settles the case on top of the coffee table, picking two bottles from the case. Now-- usually a lighter is an indicator that one has picked up smoking as a habit. But for Norman, being the boy scout that he is, he has his own kosher reasons.]
no subject
[The little thing in Norman's hand catches his eye.] Huh. I didn't figure you for a smoker. You're the kind of pain in the ass who's never done anything you're not supposed to in your life.
