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.

[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...?

[clockstopped]

[Brb eyes rolling out of my skull.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

You're just as thin as I am, Orpheus! Since, you know... Same bodies.

[clockstopped]

Not anymore. [Both because you're your own person now, and because you've been capable of aging these past two years. Give it another year before it starts getting painfully noticeable for the latter reason.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Time passes a lot slower in the Velvet Room...

Haha, though I am a few inches taller than you now.

[clockstopped]

You don't have to remind me.

[Said completely blank. Time to guess if it was said in irritation or just depression. Have fun with that! In the meantime, flagging down one of the waitresses. Hope you have your order ready.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

It's all right, Orpheus. I'll lean my head down if you ever want to hit me with the Compendium! [... He's trying to cheer you up. Oh yeah, and he'll be ordering a huge stack of pancakes as he hits on the waitress.]

[clockstopped]

I'll just have to start aiming for your ribs. [Oh god not this again ughhhhh just putting in our order for the same plus a coffee before staring at the well. Your habits are embarrassing ffffff-]
