That's not really a thing that happens, is it?

Comments

[ziedrich_bearer]

Yeah, I really do.

[deathbeforedecaf]

Cool. I'll put some beers in the fridge. See ya later.

[ziedrich_bearer]

You should do something hydrating in there too.

[deathbeforedecaf]

Like drink water? The beers are for after.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Ah. That works for me too.

[deathbeforedecaf]

When should I expect you? I’m getting a little antsy waiting.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Takes me about twenty minutes.

[deathbeforedecaf]

Well then I'll see you in twenty minutes?

[ziedrich_bearer]

Yeah. If traffic allows.

[deathbeforedecaf]

see you soon. I’m looking forward to it.

[ziedrich_bearer]

You gonna let me in the building when I get there?

[deathbeforedecaf]

I think that’s in both of our best interests, so yeah.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Good. Just wait outside for me.

[deathbeforedecaf]

I;m on the front steps. With Lucky. You'll see us.

[ziedrich_bearer]

[And he's not wrong. About fifteen minutes later there's Gladio, walking up and looking quite pleased with himself.]

Well well, some pretty boys to see me.

[deathbeforedecaf]

[ Clint is waiting on the front steps for Gladio to arrive. He waves and stands when he sees him and says cheekily, ]

Oh, I know I'm pretty. Hi.

[ziedrich_bearer]

You really are and you should hear it more often.

[deathbeforedecaf]

I guess we can all have our own opinions. You wanna come in?

[ Clint claps Gladio on the shoulder and then turns toward his building. He unlocks the front door with a key - he hasn't managed to upgrade that part yet - and then opens it to let the other man in. ]

[ziedrich_bearer]

Yeah, of course. I've been bribed with a sauna experience.

[He is happy to head in after Clint, looking around.]

Nice enough place, for the city.

[deathbeforedecaf]

Yeah. I won the building. My place leads out to the rooftop.

[ It's a four story walkup, so it's not exactly accessible, but Clint's been working on that too, it's just slow going with all the red tape. He leads Gladio up though, unlocking the door to his loft and leading him in. ]

Fraction and Aja gave us such goods with the loft design. RIP Grills

[ziedrich_bearer]

Won the building? How do you even do that?

[Gladio of course has no problem with stairs. Heading up is just so fucking easy.]

This sure doesn't look like the roof and sauna, Clint. Not that I'm complaining.

GRILLS :( Such a shock for me

[deathbeforedecaf]

I won it from some tracksuits. They were trying to up the rent and make this place unaffordable for some really good folks. I gave them a pile of money and won the street war, so it's mine now.

[ He leads Gladio through the apartment and to the door leading out onto the roof. ]

Patience, man.

it was the most painful

[ziedrich_bearer]

I'm good at patience most days, but I had a really intense spar with Cor today, and I'm sore in about seventeen different places. I could stand for the heat.

[And he's happy to follow Clint out.]

that whole run was full of emotion

[deathbeforedecaf]

[ Clint leads him out to the rooftop, where behind a little box garden, there's a small building. Gladio is huge, so it might be a bit tight for the two of them, but Clint's sure he can make it work. ]

There it is. Already fired up and everything. It should set you right.

So many emotions. And such great design.

[ziedrich_bearer]

[Oh, they can. If they want to. Just have to use the buddy system for it.]

Awesome. I guess I should get into my towel.
