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.

Well, that's what the watch I made is also for! Really, Orpheus...

[Now, now... You're the one who gave us this logic.]

[clockstopped]

... Sure.

[I give up with you. Too lazy to argue. And my logic's not THAT bad. ...Is it?]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Let's go, Orpheus! Pancakes await us.

[Since Thanatos is still holding your hand... You're now being tugged into the Mall and towards the goal location - ! ... It could be worse?]

[clockstopped]

[Short sigh, your only response, then just allows himself to be dragged to said destination. Since to hell with everything if he actually remembered where it was ahhaaaa ... orz that's not very encouraging]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Drags his Assistant until they are at the front of the restaurant. Thanatos stops at the door and opens it for Orpheus.] Here we are!

[clockstopped]

[Merely stands there, arm's crossed and leveling a flat stare in response to your proper manners. :| Compendium. Give. Now.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Oh, right!

[Lifts his hand out so the Compendium appears flat against his palm. Yes, of course he can hold it just fine. What are you talking about? It's not heavy at all right now.]

[clockstopped]

[Takes it and immediately holds it up to slam the spine down on the other's head. Gives a second for him to brace for impact--]

[Then just walks past without any abuse given. Thanks for holding the door open. :|b]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[OH GOD BRACING FOR IMPACT - ... Except no impact comes. W-what.] ... Orpheus?

... Heh. [Follows Orpheus inside.]

[clockstopped]

[No response to the inferred question, simply standing to the side and waiting for him, staring at the wall like it's responsible for the failing economy. Just because I didn't hit you doesn't mean I have to explain myself grrrr]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Fine, Orpheus. At least we didn't get hit with the Compendium... Thanatos waves down a waitress who then takes them to a table where Ryoji flops his butt onto the booth.]

[clockstopped]

[Just slides into the opposite side casually, dropping the Compendium on the seat next to him. Making sure you don't steal it again oh yes. Then props an elbow on the table to glance at the menu. ... For a few seconds anyway.]

Ah...! [Of course only NOW the deja vu brick hits. Sitting up just a tad bit now, looking off to the side.] This place... How many months has it been again?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Yeah, this is the restaurant we went to when we first arrived here at the Mall! It's been about ... Seven months?

I wonder if that waitress I hit on is still working here now...

[clockstopped]

Seven months, huh... [Still linefaced, but that's a an internal cringe at that realization. Was it a year from when that conversation happened or a year from when you first arrived? Though finiding him out of the blue just to ask would be unsporting. Also--]

[Turning to glare at slightly, mostly in exasperation rather than annoyance.] Leave the waitresses alone.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Yeah, seven months... [Technically, wouldn't it be when you return to the actual Velvet Mall? Time doesn't really pass here at the Mall, after all.]

Aw, but the waitresses are so cute here, Orpheus! ...Huh, I wonder why we haven't come here to eat more often?

[clockstopped]

Hm. [That's if you assume that time is at a literal stand-still, which is neigh impossible, or just moving too slow to have any drastic effect on any timelines, which seems more plausible considering the nature of any area located within the subconscious mind.]

[Because if we came here too often, you'd start skirt-flipping all the girls? Asking for their numbers to take them out on dates? Have them follow you around like crazed fangirls just like in high school?] ... Dunno.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Oh, well... Coming to eat here so rarely makes it all the more special when we do!

[clockstopped]

I suppose.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... You don't like pancakes, do you?

[clockstopped]

I never said that.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Oh...

Oh, right! You did eat that huge stack while we were here last.

[clockstopped]

Yeah. [Just like nearly any other time you throw food in his direction.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

We'll have to get two huge stack of pancakes for sure! I'm starving...

Hm, you know... A few days ago, one of the demons told me to eat a sandwich. What does that mean, Orpheus?

[clockstopped]

Did you stop eating again while I was asleep? [Flat stare in your direction. Gdit sir.]

... [Blink.] It means you're too thin.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

... No? I ate a little bit. It's not like I need to eat!

[Looks down at his flat stomach and pokes.] I've always been this thin...?
