Let me call you sweetheart...

[scotch_egg]

Who: Alec & You
What: Valentines Event
Where: Anywhere
Warnings: Who knows



Alec cam be found anywhere, looking more cagey than usual. Find him in his office filling out endless forms or answering calls curtly, or in a bistro or cafe with a single cup of steaming tea, or even in the park bundled up against the cold day.

More to the point he has a box of Valentine's Day candies with him that he cannot seem to stop eating. It seems almost unconscious. However this meeting turns out is going to be an interesting ride.


[[ooc: feel free to chose the words of the heart that he eats and put it in the subject. Or leave it up to RNG]]

Totally normal, nothing to see here

[serpentinthegarden]

I'm not looking for criminals! I might have been looking for the boss.

[ That was... purring? Anthony checked around his bench as if there might be one near him some where but there wasn't. ]

You have a cat?

absolutely

[scotch_egg]

Why? What the hell are you up to? [it's a sort of purred growl that comes out and he rubs his cheek against the nearby pole without seeming to notice.]

And no, not with me...

[serpentinthegarden]

Nothing bad.

[ Maybe, probably, depending on your point of view. Only now he was so distracted watching Alec that his shades actually slid partway down his nose in surprise. ]

Have you taken up pole dancing?? Oh! Don't tell me you've joined that new cat act at the Kennel Club?!? Ellie would flip!

[scotch_egg]

What? [and then he realizes what he's doing] Fuck! [he jerks his head away and rubs his cheek, hissing] I need a bloody bath. It's not me it's the candies. I can't stop fucking eating them.

[serpentinthegarden]

If you start using your tongue for that I'm hanging up.

What's in those candies anyway?

[scotch_egg]

[he licks the back of his hand once before realizing]

Ugh.

Ugh.

I've no bloody idea! I need another one. Maybe something else will counteract it. [he fumbles the box out of his pocket and ends up scattering all but one on the floor. He looks at the remaining one and scowls]

You might have to hang up. [because he refuses]

[serpentinthegarden]

[ He could have called the 'five second rule' and picked up another one but as he hadn't... ]

Why? What does that one say?

[scotch_egg]

I'm not telling you. Piss off. [he doesn't want to eat it and tries to fight the compulsion, even as he glares at the bloody thing.]

[serpentinthegarden]

Fine don't tell me. Just turn it so I can read it. How bad could it be? You end up with a hug me?

[scotch_egg]

No because then I won't hear the end of it. You think I want that for the rest of my life?

[serpentinthegarden]

It's worse than hug me?

That makes it more intriguing... I mean, you could eat it or wait for the hairball.

[scotch_egg]

[another hiss. He glares daggers at Anthony and then pops the candy in his mouth and turns off the camera. Suffer.

He bloody well will]

[serpentinthegarden]

Tch!

[ You ass! Now he will never know!! ]

[scotch_egg]

[you might hear some detached rumors of some really bad serenading, but you'll never know for sure]

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Best rumors he has heard in a LONG time! ]

Text a bit later

[serpentinthegarden]

How do you feel about meeting a hot blonde for dinner?

[ Message sent not knowing Alec had already met the lady and after this! ]

It would get you away from Fell and I. Far warning I intend for us to be absolutely obnoxiously in love.

[scotch_egg]

Thanks for the warning. I'll throw myself off a bridge.

[in other words, no. But he will take care of himself.]

[serpentinthegarden]

Oh come on! She's hot, nice, and you would be saving her from a night of boozing it. Besides when's the last time you have been on a date?

[scotch_egg]

I'm not so pathetic I need you to set me up. Anyway, it will be a disaster and she won't thank either of us.


[the last part is true anyway]

[serpentinthegarden]

Did I say you were pathetic? I never once said you were pathetic. I just thought you two might hit it off... It could go well.

[ Not all dinners can be train wrecks! ]

[scotch_egg]

[and then, just in case]

Tell me it's not Grace

[serpentinthegarden]

What? No! She's dating some one who works on Wall Street these days.

[scotch_egg]

Just checking.

It'll be a train wreck.

Set her up with someone else. You do know other people. What about Ellie?

[serpentinthegarden]

You first, then Ellie... Ellie hasn't even settled in yet. Anyway I already mentioned you to her.

[scotch_egg]

Unmention it. Say I died. Go with Ellie.
