A - Shopping; closed to Ellie, action - backdated to the 12th

[This was stupid. When Ryan and Ellie had talked about his steaming problem, they had come up with the "perfect" solution. They decided that if he had a big enough coat, it would hold the steam inside of it like it was the Hindenburg until it was punctured on an errant corner and exploded, causing the traumatic deaths of millions around him. Or, it would just make him look completely and utterly stupid. Both were possibilities here. He hoped the former would encompass the latter before it had a chance to happen and at least his life would end with a bang instead of a whisper.]

[He was musing on this while walking into the shopping strip with Ellie, sticking out like a sore thumb as usual considering he stood a head and shoulders taller than pretty much anyone else in the universe.]


I have a perfectly functional winter coat at home, you know....

B - Sleepover; closed to Ellie and Ryan, action - backdated to the 14th

[Bertholdt had never even had someone over to his apartment besides his aging mother before the Network had pretty much ruined his life. Now he had Ryan over at least twice a week, and this weekend Ellie would be coming along as well. It has started out as a joke, "let's have a sleepover," but like with all things concerning Ryan sarcasm had become a reality. And considering Ryan lived at the fire station and Ellie had privacy issues, he'd laid down and let them walk all over the idea of him being the one to host this..... event.]

[So he'd cleaned up and bought snack food (which was becoming increasingly more difficult for some reason,) as well as made his first purchase of alcohol in months. They were adults, a couple six packs were mandatory. You know, for something mature like a goddamn sleep over.]

[So wondering if it had all actually been an elaborate joke, Bertholdt waits in his apartment for the two jerks friends he'd made so far.]


C - Network; OTA, handwritten text - 2:17AM

You'd really think the lottery for this Echo thing would have some kind of handicap for someone with a preexisting condition. Is there a help network for that kind of thing on here? I really can't stop taking my medicine.

There's a free clinic run by some of us numbered people. LSR, near the Dead District. If you'd need a ride, I wouldn't mind taking you.

'Perfectly functional' won't do. You're doing the equivalent of saying 'I don't need a bus to carry this herd of children to school. I have a bicycle.'

[ Ellie is not particularly enjoying the extra attention that comes from being in public with Bertholdt. She is, however, enjoying making The Face at anybody who stares too openly.

She's also walking right past some of the nicer clothing stores without even glancing into them. She has a particular shop in mind, okay. She's a woman on a mission.

What's the problem?

[ Did you say booze, Bertl? Because Ryan brought some of that, too. Not that it's a big deal or anything, but if you've pretty much invited yourself and your not-best-friend-maybe-from-a-past-life to your boyfriend's house, it helps to bring something other than your loud self. Right? ]

[ He'd never joke about this though, which is why Ryan shows up with a smile, ringing the bell for Bertholdt's apartment, assuming he'll be at his phone. Ryan's actually been looking forward to this, okay? Something about the three of them hanging out is nice. ]

Yo, Bertl! It's me! Open up!

[ How positively endearing, Ryan. ]
shortspoken: All icons without credit are by me, and are ok to use unless marked otherwise! (eating people is bad)

[ Ellie hasn't brought booze. She brought better things! Like a rucksack full of glittery nail polish, Bertholdt's brand new "Team Mom" shirt and a tacky-looking pink cardboard box labelled "Little Miss' First Sleepover Set" that contains moisturising facemasks, truth or dare cards, hair curlers and accessories.

She couldn't not buy it. The thought of getting the guys all prettied up with glittery hairslides was enough to make her giggle. In public. Several people who witnessed it are now in therapy.

She appears seconds after Ryan rings the doorbell, almost as if she's been lurking around and lying in wait like a creepy creeper. BUT HAHA THAT'S NOT LIKELY, IS IT? HAHA. Ha.

You mean it's us.

[ That counts as a "hello." ]

You're getting a new coat. If you keep protesting, I might start thinking you don't want to be seen out with me. A frail girl with a fragile ego like mine might start to get offended.

[ She comes to a stop in front of an incredibly-shabby looking Goodwill store. It should be noted that Ellie isn't exactly well-acquainted with popular culture, so she sees nothing even mildly amusing about getting Bertl a big-ass coat from the thrift shop down the road.

She probably thinks Macklemore is a type of raincoat.

In there. Go.

well theyre doctors. they seem ok enough??
i havent gone yet even though i should lol.
but you know they offered their work up two me and everything so i guess theyre good.
sorry not two helpful there i guess.
shortspoken: (we could be heartless bitches together)

I'm a quality roleplayer

[personal profile] shortspoken 2013-09-20 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ellie isn't about to admit that she just assumes people are as dirt-poor as she is. The linefacing continues unabated. ]

You might ruin the coat when we test it. Better that you don't spend a lot of money on it just in case.

[ Don't argue with her, Bertholdt

Don't make her give you The Face
]
shortspoken: (a childhood what the fuck is that)

[personal profile] shortspoken 2013-09-20 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, he's getting The Face. ]

You never know. There could be strange chemicals in it. Titan vapours. Corrosive only to coats.

[ Yeah, that's plausible. She starts digging through an especially-terrible looking selection of clothes with the practiced air of a veteran bargain hunter. Bertl is in good hands.

Good, slightly sadistic hands.

It's nice, right? [ Some part of Ryan wants Ellie to like Bert's place, too. Maybe it's one of those echo things. Only instead of impressing girls, it's "impress Annie or she'll hurt you." ]

[ Ryan steps in like he's been here a million times (well, almost.) You can almost tell what parts of the apartment Ryan frequents-- namely the kitchen and the sofa, just by the aesthetic-breaking cookware line up with all the rest. ]

Thanks a lot for hosting this, Bertl. Should I toss the beer in the fridge?
shortspoken: (but the ones i snapped in half)

[personal profile] shortspoken 2013-09-20 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, y-- oh!

[ NO TIME FOR WORDS NOW. HUGE-ASS COAT SPOTTED.

With a teeny-tiny smile of triumph, Ellie pulls a massive poofy red coat from a haphazard pile of clothes. You know the coats that are stuffed with a ton of extra padding? It's one of those. A really over-stuffed one.

It's also lined with white fake fur. Bertholdt is probably going to look like the world's tackiest Santa wearing it. He's welcome.

Try this on.
