[In Person]

[London was a mess, to put it simply, Eddie was doing his best to walk around the debris littering the street. The sky is a dull, ugly gray color.]

This place is a fucking wreck. [He sighs this, keeping the food he has handy tucked his arm as he tried to avoid stepping over crumbling Akuma bodies. The roadie keeping his eyes on his surroundings. He doing his best to stay quiet as to not attract attention.

This plan works out pretty well for several blocks, he relaxing a little when he sees the music store. Starting to jog over to it. A smile slowly appearing as he mentally congratulates himself for making it this far and running into no troub-
]

Eddie!? Wait! Slow down! [The pace Eddie had, so very close to the music store is halted when he hears that voice. He whipping around to stare at the brunette suddenly appearing. It was Ophelia. His Ophelia. He's within sight of the music store, food nearly being dropped as he takes in the brunette in surprise.]

...Ophs?

One and only. [She says this with a smile, walking towards him. Lips pulled into a smile as they stared at one another. Eddie's considerably distracted as she gets closer, his heart jumping into his throat.] Babe! You're- normal!

Of course I am~ [She smiles, fluttering her lashes, Eddie is too dumbfounded to notice the fact Ophelia would NEVER do that. Eddie has failed to notice another thing, an black inky substance curling around his feet, shifting behind him, gathering into a puddle as she approached him.]

Awwww cute \o/

Oh, score!

[Takes the plate and sits down, digging in.] Huh, pretty good. Definitely could have worse meals.

[identity profile] kingroadie.livejournal.com 2010-04-27 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Eddie helps himself to some of the first cake, obviously happy with the turn of events.] True enough, we'll probably just both be really frikkin' sick of cake after this. Either way, it's bitchin' while it lasts.

[So says the man who is obviously enjoying the hell out of it. He missed real food.]

[identity profile] hell-is-silent.livejournal.com 2010-04-27 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
You're probably right. Oh well. It could be MUCH worse.

[Devours her piece in record time.]

[identity profile] kingroadie.livejournal.com 2010-04-28 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Could be just stale bread or something a lot worse. [He agrees, pretty much keeping pace with her on the cake eating. He hasn't eaten any in months, so he'll take joy out of this.]

Reminds me though, we should probably find some place with food to stay this time. Make getting meals easier. I'd say we should stay here, but from the looks of it someone else has been digging around. I'd rather not have one of those Akuma-things come in here when we're both asleep.

[She nods, wiping frosting off her face.] You think this would be a good place, or should we keep looking? They had straight up restaurants back then, right? Having a decent kitchen wouldn't be bad...

[identity profile] kingroadie.livejournal.com 2010-04-30 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still iffy about here. The locks been broken on the door on this side and the chairs dragged in here makes it less than safe to crash at. [He gestures at the door, the handle on their side is a little looser than it was on the outside.]

Be a good idea, make the whole getting food and preparing it deal a lot less of a chore. I know you can kick ass, but I still don't exactly like leaving you alone. [Stubbornly protective moment thar, though he drops it with a shake of his head.] We'll just have to poke around a little and we'll probably find a restaurant we can call dibs on.

[identity profile] hell-is-silent.livejournal.com 2010-05-01 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Pshh. [She waves her hand dismissively.] I can handle my own. But it's nice of you to be concerned.

[She finishes the cake and licks the last of the frosting off her fork.] I'm game for some more exploration. Beats sitting around, waiting for something to attack us.

[identity profile] kingroadie.livejournal.com 2010-05-03 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I figured as much, you did save my ass back there after all. [Small shrug on his part, he's always been a little protective of people he considers friends. Heather is filed under that so, she can expect fussing.] Still doesn't mean I won't worry some.

[Eddie is a little less neat, he cleaning stray frosting from the cake via popping a finger into his mouth absent mindedly for a moment. He does stop when he realizes what he's doing though.] Heh, no truer words spoken on that subject, I'm not exactly big on sitting around either. The music shop was nice, but not doing us any favors when it comes to actually getting stuff done. London's a big place, plenty of places to poke around, give us something to do while we figure out how to get out of here.

[She waves her hand dismissively.] Don't go signing up to be my dad or anything.

[Oh, ouch, that comment hurt more than she thought it would. She coughs a bit, clears her throat.] 'Cause maybe you're old, but you're not THAT old.

[She stands and picks up Mr. Pipey, already looking out the window to see if they have any good places to scope out without eyeshot.]

[identity profile] kingroadie.livejournal.com 2010-05-05 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
Wasn't planning to. [He lets the subject drop at that. Noting her discomfort. He gets up from his seat as well, to give a stretch.]

Always good to know thirty's considered ancient to some people. [He glances out at the windows as well, narrowing his eyes some when he sees some vague movement nearby, could it be an Akuma or Ophelia.]

[identity profile] hell-is-silent.livejournal.com 2010-05-06 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's about to snark back, but she saw the movement too.]

Shit, I think we might have company.

[identity profile] kingroadie.livejournal.com 2010-05-07 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
Knowing how both our lucks work, it isn't going to be good company. [He has to grumble back, narrowing his eyes some. His axe quickly pulled free as he takes a step towards the door.

His hunch is proven right when the sound of bullets ring out in the air, followed by glass being shattered near by. Eddie curses at this and glances back at Heather.
]

Okay, so two options, run or fight. I'm voting we run again since one shot an we're dead.

[identity profile] hell-is-silent.livejournal.com 2010-05-08 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Yikes! She jumps back too when the shots rings out, ducking instinctively.]

Running's my favorite option. Out the back way?

[identity profile] kingroadie.livejournal.com 2010-05-08 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
I'm good with that plan, crazy good with it. [More shots ring out and he gestures for her to go first, he'll be on her heels for sure, but he wants to at least take the rear to make sure they don't see Heather. Oh the epic bromance.]

[identity profile] hell-is-silent.livejournal.com 2010-05-08 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
[OMGz that's cute. :3 Meantime, Heather doesn't have to be asked twice, so she's alredy clomping off, Mr. Pipey at the ready, out through the back area to the alleyway beyond.]

[identity profile] kingroadie.livejournal.com 2010-05-08 08:17 am (UTC)(link)
[She can get him back for cute over protectiveness by calling him old man later. For now he's armed with his axe, Heather probably able to hear some colorful cursing along with things being smashed if not for her uber running skillz. Apparently the Akuma caught wind of them somehow.

A moment later he's running out of the bakery as well, slamming the door behind him. He following after Heather, having to comment.
]

...Yeah, running, best plan ever.

[She's waiting for him right outside the door. Leave no man behind and all that. She half-winces, half-chuckles at him.]

C'mon then, let's go.

[And down the alley she runs!]

[identity profile] kingroadie.livejournal.com 2010-05-08 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey, he's not going to protest any. Thus, the running montage commences, he on her heels running down the alley way. Though this time the two are a lot less lucky in escaping. The sound of bullets tearing through the wood of the door echos behind them. Class one Akumas slowly floating through the opening they made.]

And the day just gets better. [Eddie can't help the commentary while he runs, not even bothering to look back at this point. Better to just run like hell over focus on what's on their tail.]


((And since we haven't had the chance to talk on AIM recently, I figure I'd drop you a line here, I made a muse box [livejournal.com profile] the_geekersbox. I figured we can always move more Eddie an Heather adventures over there. Feel free to post if the mood strikes you.))

[identity profile] hell-is-silent.livejournal.com 2010-05-09 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
[She catches a glimpse of the akuma before she turns to flee.] Jeez, those things are hideous! And I've seen hideous!

[Ruuuuuns at full force away from those freaks. D:]


ooc: Ooo, cool idea! I joined. :3 Yeah, sorry I haven't been around aim much at all. It's my end of semester crunch so I've been running around crazy trying to get my work done before I have to drive cross country next week. O_o Hopefully things will calm down after that and I'll be around more. \o/

[identity profile] kingroadie.livejournal.com 2010-05-09 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
They aren't Tainted Coil level of fucked up, but they're pretty high on the fucked up list. [Eddie agrees while still running down the alley with Heather, he got to see them close up earlier. So he knows the ugly factor.

Though his strategy to keep them at bay was batting at them with his axe in a manly fashion.
]

((Most excellent~ We'll discuss what we can do on there later xD It's all good. I know its crunch time for a lot of people, myself included. I wish you much muyo luck on everything, especially since you're so busy. I'll throw the horns of luck for yee. \m/))

[identity profile] hell-is-silent.livejournal.com 2010-05-09 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
I saw some... that were like... ten feet tall, and had giant clubs for arms. [Pant.] I called them Clubby...

ooc: Sweeeet. \o/ Good luck with your stuff, too!

[identity profile] kingroadie.livejournal.com 2010-05-09 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
[This earns an intelligent response of-] Christ, I think we both need a break from weirdness. [Said response jumbled in the sound of bullets flying through the air again. Bullets missing the two since the Akuma are slowly following them.]

[identity profile] hell-is-silent.livejournal.com 2010-05-09 07:27 am (UTC)(link)
Ugh, I agree!

[Crap, after sprinting all this way she's winded again.] I gotta-- [Ow! Stitch in her side. She halts and beds over again, taking deep breaths while waiting for the pain to subside. Not the ideal location to stop, but she can spring into action again in a few seconds.]

[identity profile] kingroadie.livejournal.com 2010-05-10 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Either way, Eddie comes to a half stumbling stop when Heather has to bend over an take a breather. Biting back another curse as he moves back towards Heather. Even if she can spring back into action, she has the roadie of many talents on her side, which means she'll be yanked up into his arms when bullets nearly hit her.]

Sorry, you can kick my ass for invading yer space later, but we gotta go.

[He's careful not to drop her or jar her, the roadie booking it down the alley as bullets fill the air.]

[identity profile] hell-is-silent.livejournal.com 2010-05-10 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Bwha-- AAAHHH?!

[That is the sound Heather makes as Eddie picks her up and makes off with her. She can see the akuma behind them, thankfully growing smaller.]

You're faster than you look, you know.
