[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.

When Cecil looks up from his leaf-pile leap, he'll see Eddie looking in at him. There's a bemused expression on Eddie's face, but no scolding is forthcoming.

"Enjoying yourself, Comrade Cecil?"

"With my luck, a running leap would throw out my back, but..." Eddie moves to a clear space beside the leaf pile and then flops backward into it, sending up a colorful spray of autumnal leaves. "Join you I shall."

Eddie gives a little sigh. "Been a while since I just... did something like this for the fun of it. S'nice."

Ultra-violent librarians prone to attacking anyone that tries to read? Well this sounds -

"Comrade Cecil!"

Where did Jean come from? Don't worry about it. What are they holding? Books on seaweed!

Ahhh, the sweet kiss of nostalgia. Jean looks fondly pleased. "You have impressive vertical clearance, Comrade! That has to come in handy, hahahaha, ha, hahaha...ha...actually yeah it probably does..." They brighten up again. "Is this a bad time?"

"I do find joy in my work," Eddie observes, "in making things a little less uncertain by increasing the food supply. But I take your point, I think. Joy for the sake of joy?"

Eddie tosses a handful of leaves back toward Cecil, with a soft laugh.

"Recklessly disregarding this world's technological development!" They're grinning. It's supposed to be a friendly grin. It Is Not. "I am, hahaha, desperate to get radio up and running. For many reasons! Chief among them being that it's autumn next to an ocean!"

Eddie props himself up on one elbow and gives Cecil another bemused look -- not sure exactly how Cecil managed to make that noise, or how he was able to parse that it was the noise for a trademark symbol.

"I suppose I'll submit to your expertise yet again." Eddie twirls a bright yellow leaf by its stem, and asks, "How's it going, working for the newspaper?"

"It's fine, I don't think I get to complain when I can't build most of the weapons I use," says the nugget who, if given a power source and access to Walmart's cutlery aisle, will make a chainsword by hand. "It's just somewhat frustrating! I'm already drawing up plans for some less useful ideas, alarm bells for the farms for instance, but..."

They're not about to explain the utility of radio to the Radio Man.

"And, well, we can hardly do a show using a giant megaphone, hahahaha, ha..." unless..?

"....Huh." Eddie frowns thoughtfully over that one. "Yorick and Mayor Poe. Not somethin' I would've seen developing."

Eddie isn't very observant when it comes to romance.

"Maybe you can flirt with someone while Yorick is just... awkwardly there, too. Turnabout being fair play and all."

"Oh, got someone in mind?" Eddie asks with a smile.

People probably gossip about Eddie and Angel enough, it's not like Eddie's immune to curiosity about other romantic pairings.

"...you know, I can honestly say that I did not know he was a whore." Eddie snorts, "I actually thought Lord Osborne was a mob boss, before he admitted to being a vampire."

And then Eddie circles back around to the first thing Cecil said. "You and Gerry, though? That's sweet. He's a good guy and so are you. I hope you make each other happy."

"Such a burden you've taken on, lovin' the crap outta Gerry," Eddie teases, flicking another leaf at Cecil.

"But also... just so you know, I consider him a good friend. And if you break his heart, you'll end up fertilizing my tomatoes. Which are currently hypothetical, but so's the rest of the situation." And Eddie smiles oh so pleasantly at Cecil after that.
