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.

[Can I have my hand back yet? This is starting to feel like I aksldjxczjasanononononononojustoverthinkingagainnonono]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[No, this hand is mine to hold. You know you ship it, Orpheus.]

[clockstopped]

[Whatever makes you happy. :| Shut up no I don't.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Either way, these two are walking out of the dorms now as they step into the thick fog outside. Man, remember when Thanatos used to lock up every time? Seems he's gotten used to it since then... A lot. Ameno-Sagiri hasn't been seen for months, after all. Skipping through the fog with his princess Orpheus is go!]

[clockstopped]

[why are you skipping are you really that happy over this goddamn you have too much energy it should be a crime-- but at least he seems to be getting used to it here? Even if that's probably not a good thing Worry about that later ignore it~]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[Soon Thanatos skips them both to the Mall.]

Now, we can't stay at the Mall for too long... Just long enough to get those pancakes.

[clockstopped]

You think I don't know that...? [Really, even just being this close is migraine-inducing. Got too used to hiding out in the library. ...Which might account for the ulterior motive of staying there all the time.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

You're the one who used to hang out until you passed out...

[Well, that was why this one created the library in the first place. To protect you from that. Still, YOU'VE BEEN IN THERE FOR TOO LONG.]

[clockstopped]

I'm just bad at keeping track of time.

[It's not like time matters when you're dead after all~ And... sometimes, your logic is amazing, sir.]

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

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.
