Thanatos and Orpheus // Private Thread for the Win

[itsnotaleash]

Orpheus - ... Orpheus, stop ignoring me like that! [Oh, right. Proceeds to move one of Orpheus' headphones out of his otherwise deaf ears. So he can actually hear Thanatos.]

Come on, you need to get out more often! You've been in the Velvet Library for days now... I didn't create the pocket dimension for you to become a complete recluse like this.

[And as per the usual reaction when the headphones are removed with little-to-no warning, jumps a few inches and sits bolt upright. Only to immediately lean forward in a last-ditch attempt to catch the pen he dropped in the process. Because having a fountain pen spill open would... not end well.]

[But after that, he merely turns his head a bit to stare up at Thanatos from his new resting spot face-down on the table.]

What are you talking about?

[Listening? Not at all.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Pay attention, Orpheus, I'm giving you the day off - !

[Proceeds to grab Orpheus' arm and gank him off of the chair he's sitting on.]

[clockstopped]

[This doesn't seem so much like "giving" as it is "forcing". But the sentiment is forgotten in an attempt to both grab his notes and keep up with the superior's footsteps. Both ending in failure and amounting to just stumbling after him in a vague attempt to keep balance.]

I don't need a day off. C- [asdfkjzxcfallingFALLI--okay balance regained. Kind of.] Would you let go?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

You do need a day off! So, no... I won't let go of you.

[Thanatos only stops his quick pace once they're out of the closet and he slams it shut. If Orpheus were to try and open it he would only get an actual closet.] I took the wristwatch from you while you were asleep. I closed access to the pocket dimension for now...

[... How long had Thanatos been planning this?] Anyway, first you need a shower! You're getting as bad as Streganato was when it comes to hygiene... I won't let you succumb to that! I promise - !

[clockstopped]

[Wait, what now? Hopping subjects at random and moving around to quickly and ughhhh getting a headache from all this, even if you're only responsible for half of it. And somewhere in the middle of Thanatos' last sentence is when he freezes, braces himself, and then yanks his arm away. Only to stand within than usual two-foot distance and massage his temple with one hand. So annoying sometimes, sir.] Learn to slow down.

Now then... Why are freaking out so much about... [Man, I don't remember half the subjects you've hopped in the past thirty seconds. So just have a dismissive wave in place of any words. You should be able to figure it out.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

I'm worried about you, that's all.

[clockstopped]

You don't have to worry.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Of course I do... It's you.

[clockstopped]

That's not much of a reason.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

It's an excellent reason! Now if you're not going to take a shower... I mean, you don't even smell bad or anything so I doubt anyone would notice - Then you're going outside.

[clockstopped]

[This is the face of NO.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[This is the gank of LET'S GO.]

[clockstopped]

[asdkzxchak GRABS ONTO THE DOOR ON THE WAY OUT] Let go.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Tugs on Orpheus.] Orpheus, you let go!

[clockstopped]

[MAKE ME. :|] No.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Come on...

[clockstopped]

[ignore the wibbling ignore the wibbling ignore the wibbling]

I said no.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Continues to wibble.] Orpheus...

Just for a little while?

[clockstopped]

[stoppit] Why?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[WIBBLE.]

I want to hang out with you - ... Like we did when we first arrived here at the Velvet Mall.

[clockstopped]

[/IGNORE]

You could always ask instead of dragging me.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

All right...

Will you go out with me to the Mall, Orpheus?

[clockstopped]

No.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... That's why I don't ask you!

[Goes right back to the TUGGING, GODDAMN IT.]

[clockstopped]

You can always hope.

[NOT. MOVING. :|]
