036. Hots On for Nowhere

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Backdated to a reasonable hour on Christmas Eve!

Brock is running around downtown Paris like an idiot, peering into shops to see which ones are closed. He rushes inside the ones that are open, but always leaves quickly after discerning they don't have exactly what he wants.

He usually isn't That Guy that shops on Christmas Eve, you see. Usually. It's just that, well, the present he'd had wrapped up for his really terrifying and violent fiancee happened to not come with them from the castle to Paris, and he wasn't really looking forward to getting stabbed in the leg for supposedly shirking gift-giving, so ... he was in a bit of a bind.

The journal may pick up the sounds of him swearing quietly under his breath as he continues looking for a gift.

This is pretty stupid.]

[ooc. open for kisses, unplanned or planned! ♥]

[someone might be looking for a Christmas present for his girlfriend, too... and he might just be backing away from an aggressively enthusiastic street vendor, and straight into Brock]

Shit! -- [he backs up and then winces as he realizes who it is]

Double shit. Sorry, Brock. You -- you okay?

[stupid question, Mark]

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Brock is so high-strung at the moment that when Mark bumps into him, he nearly flings him into a wall.

But then he realizes that it's just a kid, and forces himself to calm down, running a hand down his face.]

Uh, yeah. It's okay. Kind of in a hurry, huh?

[hard-talker.livejournal.com]

Oh - uh, okay. Well, I won't keep you if you are --

[awkward teen is awkward]

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Oh jeez, now he feels bad --]

Nah, it's okay. C'mon, maybe you can help me figure out what to get my girlfriend.

[THIS IS A GOOD PLAN, OBVIOUSLY! Two dudes thinking about presents for girls are better than one?]

[hard-talker.livejournal.com]

Only if you help me figure out what to get mine. [he shoots him a lopsided grin] What's she do?

[IT IS THE BEST PLAN IN THE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING DUDES HAVE EVER DONE.]

[/hears....... the swearing]

Are you okay?

yes i agree

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[ha haaaaaa shit he didn't realize his journal was open

or that children could hear this, FFFF] Uh. Yeah, sorry about that. Just kind of stressed out.

asdgjadg yeah that

[junescutie.livejournal.com]

T-That's okay.

Are you looking for something?

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

Yeah -- a present for my girlfriend.

[WAIT, YOU'RE A WOMAN ... OSTENSIBLY ... KIND OF.] What do girls like?

[iamdamnloyal]

[You know who's running around the city? This blonde!]

Brock? [She's pretty sure that's him...]

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey, you! Long time no ... awkward magic makeouts? Yeah.

Brock nods in greeting.] Hey. What's up?

[iamdamnloyal]

[Memorable magic makeouts!]

I'm just enjoying Paris! It's actually sort of amazing. I don't think I'd have ever gone here on my own, so even if it's whatever the castle made us, it's still pretty cool.

[icarustattoo.livejournal.com]

[Marvelous!]

Yeah, I've been here a couple times before. Always for work, though, so it's nice to just kind of sight-see and do the whole tourist thing.
