rain

Chrissy likes the rain, honestly. So, it's not odd to find her out in these short bursts of rain sprinkles lying on the ground and letting the rain fall on her face and the rest of her (she can change into dry clothes later, after all), or even just walking in it, or if she's feeling extra silly — trying to catch raindrops on her tongue the way people do with snowflakes. Despite the damp ground, she also stretches out her limbs with a few cheerleading moves on occasion too.

Overall, it feels oddly refreshing, but she chalks that up to the fact they've been away from here for a while. So, you know, feel free to join in on her fun out here, or ask her what the hell she's doing.

hotel

Spending most of the last few months in ships or on spaceports and the like, Chrissy has missed the room she'd claimed in the hotel when she arrived here. And, while they were on the spaceport, she'd bought (among other things) some cute things for her room that she's slowly putting where it needs to go. Fairy lights get hung up, wall stickers that look like ivy vines get stuck on, an inflatable chair that is both very pink and very glittery gets set up in a corner.

She's doing all this with her door open and a playlist of her favorite 80's music playing (not loud enough to be a real disturbance to people, though). Anyone is welcome to stop in and chat, or wonder about her decoration tastes.

( put a random starter down and I'll roll with it, or hit me up via PM or discord — since plurk is being awful about notifs as of late — to hash a thing out. )

"Nah," Eddie soothes with a natural smile. "Never plain or boring."

Oh- oh no, there's that serious face. Eddie looks a little worried, eyes glancing from side to side like he's expecting a lecture, but instead- he get's an apology??

Eyes wide, he tries to shake it off. "No- no, Man- I- I'm the last person you need to be apologizing to. Seriously." He ran. He left her there. Even if he couldn't have done anything, if he'd just stayed with her... some of what followed might've gone a different way.

"I'm the one who should-" He breaks off, toeing at the ground uncomfortably.

Her cussing breaks the tension, and makes him laugh approvingly, shrugging a shoulder. "I mean- I did try to clue the whole school into that during my lunch time speeches."

a post-hiatus tag!

[ephemerios]

She shakes her head slightly when he starts to say he's the one who should apologize. “If I'd been able to, I would have told you after the fact to run and not look back until you were a few hundred miles into Canada.” No, she doesn't know about the guilt over running to begin with, but it'd been the start of what she would have told him to do anyway.

“But no, they weren't subtle speeches.” She says it with a fond tone and smile. “If I'd had slightly more of a spine, I might have taken more serious note.”

There's a guilty smile, grateful for those words, but he's sure now that if he had the chance to escape it all and let things plat out for Hawkins...well he'd probably do things exactly the way he did, if only to be sure he can save Henderson and meet Steve here all over again.

"I don't do subtly," he agrees with a laugh, "And you stood up for me and my friends before, that's more than I can say for most of the people Carver associated with."

[ephemerios]

“If you started being subtle, I would drag your tall ass to the clinic here. Somehow.” Because obviously if he started being subtle, there would be something Wrong.

“I may have been the exception of his associates.” She doesn't even say it as a Humble Brag or anything, just ... yeah. There was a lot of cringing when she wa around them. “Oh, you should still show me how to play demons and dwarves.” Look she is TRYING with the name there.
