[NOVEMBER LOG] They talked because they could

Who: Cecil and Gerry; Also Cecil and You?
When: Ugh, Scorpio season.
Summary: Lot 37; Library Visit; Something cute because I deserve it.
Warnings: Possible discussion of coercion and fears?

1. Then One Night [Closed to Gerry]
Cecil is sitting near the fountain in Festival Green when Gerry catches up to him, working on editing an article, a scowl on his face. Someone is quite aware Lot 37 has been sold. Someone is braced to be used at any moment.


2. He Was Nowhere to be Found [Open - Greymare Library]
Now, living where he does, right by Town Hall and the Clock Tower means that Cecil's home is also right beside the Library. In Night Vale, the Library was a place of grave danger, the Librarians violent and prone to attacking anyone who desired to read. Here, he's been reassured that's not the case. Regardless, though, there is a caution written on his expressive face as he walks with mincing steps toward the shelves, a look of awe on his face.

Perhaps you're also here to read, or you're the kind of jackass who'd sneak up behind someone who's clearly already on alert and scare them. Either way, here, have a Cecil.


3. Under the Starlight [Open - Outside somewhere]
There is a pile of leaves someone's raked up. Cecil has noticed this pile. It's tall and thick and looks awfully soft. And with a glance left, a glance right, and a broad grin, he's going to take a running leap into the pile, because at heart he's still a little juvenile.

Come join him, or maybe admonish him for ruining someone's hard work.


4. Vanishing Without a Sound [Wildcard]
Find me on discord or plurk at darkersolstice if you wanna discuss.

"It's..." Gerry lets out a heavy sigh. "It's whatever. You have your thing now, that's all that matters. I probably shouldn't have gotten rough with him, so I guess it's not entirely his fault."

With a flippant hand gesture, Gerry waves away the fuss. "Anyway. Are you alright? Is there anything else you need to do with the paper?"
skeletonkeay: (solemn)

Gerry frowns, wrapping an arm around Cecil and stepping closer so as to let Cecil's head fall to rest on his shoulder. "...I don't see any other tethers coming from you. If that helps. Just the one thread, leading to that paper. If you had anything else ruling over you back home, it can't reach you here."
skeletonkeay: (downturned)

"You are all yours now," Gerry murmurs, giving Cecil's back a light rub. "And I'm not gonna let anyone take that away from you. No matter who they are."

Even if they were a friend.

"You feel better?"
skeletonkeay: (smirky)

"Oh noooo whatever will I do." His tone is utterly deadpan and he is grinning as he places a smooch on Cecil's head.
skeletonkeay: (snarky)

Gerry laughs softly. "Oh nooo, whatever will I do. A beautiful man wants to hug me, my life is over."
skeletonkeay: (sidelng)

"Dunno, I'd been dropping by Jon's to invite him to get pissed with me at Pumpkinfest and now that's off. So I guess I'm free, if you'd like me."
skeletonkeay: (grin)

"Why choose? I've got time for both." Gerry grins, offering Cecil his arm. "Where to first?"
