[He snaps his fingers - Give the man a prize - lifts his chin and strokes his throat, makes a babble-y gesture with his hand. I can't, he mouths.]

[desceptre]

Well, that doesn't quite scan, does it? Not when she sounded so surprised to see him.

But alright. He'll play along for the moment. He turns to watch her cross the room.

"And you came looking."

[girl_friday]

"Well, I was curious." She poured herself the alcohol with a steady hand, shrugging a shoulder. "Funny name, isn't it? I'm not sure I'd name my son after the trickster god."

She paused, swishing the liquid around in the glass.

"Especially after that whole story about the horse. I'd be afraid he'd just be teased for it in school." Pepper had absolutely no idea what had gotten into her, why she was doing this. Maybe Tony's influence on her, or maybe she just assumed if he had power here, he would have used it to get out. "Were your parents Norse mythology enthusiasts, or did they just pick it out of a baby name book?"

[Myfanwy Thomas is a very important person in England's supernatural secret service and possesses the power to take over people's nervous systems at will. She is also busy reconstructing her life after losing all her memories. Good times.]

Throwing open the door, she didn't flinch at it banged loudly against the far wall, striding to the sink and starting the water. The cool water on her face cooled her a little bit, and she turned.

Only to stop dead when she saw all the alcohol stacked against the wall. And the man standing there. Really, a bathroom wasn't the weirdest place she'd found alcohol hidden away, but in her mood it undid most of what the water had done.

"...is this yours?"

Sophie Hatter | Howl's Moving Castle

[in_which]

[idolstolemylook]

He catches that--can't hardly blame her, he knows he's a looker, but yeah, not the time. He frowns, shakes his head. He can't talk, no. But he steps out of the way, thinking he'll go back to his room.

Then he remembers he left his clothes in the bathroom, and there's no way he's putting on his cult finery.

[fullondiva]

[He's confused at first, giving her puppy eyes and looking singularly forlorn as he tries to puzzle out why she is no longer under his lips.]

What if I slip? You came in last.

[But he's already moving. Pepper supposedly works for him, right? Maybe he'll remember that later.]

Caroline Johnson | Mage: the Awakening OC

[itsaboutwhynot]

[She's just in it for the science.]

[fullondiva]

Tony's studying the stash, a hand on his hip, one vaguely stroking his chin.

"It is now."

He glances up and over, taking in the young woman. Angry. Muscular. Reminds him of someone. He probably wants to stay out of her way. He probably won't.

[myblogwonabafta]

That sounds serious.

[He doesn't notice the potential insensitivity of his phrasing, but he moves forward, gesturing towards Eliot's throat.]

May I? I am a doctor.

Kallian Tabris | Dragon Age

Anima | Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer

[shapeofawheel]

[girl_friday]

[Technically. Of course, he doesn't exactly have a way to pay her anymore, or a job for her to do. She considers it a hiatus of employment.]

If you can fly around the world in an iron suit, I think you can walk to the door without slipping. [She hopes, anyway.]

[oregoniandionysus]

[A nod, a shrug, and he lifts his chin again. Watches John as he starts to work.

He wonders why the fellow always seems so nervous. Everybody's a little on edge here, but there's something different about him. Quieter. Maybe that's just the way he is.]

[inciting]

"So it's not your, you're just taking it?"

She wasn't entirely sure why that bothered her just as much, if not more so than it not being his.

[myblogwonabafta]

[Around him, maybe. And now, John knows why. He tries to ignore it, though his eyes keep flicking back to Eliot's, trying not to study the lines and contours of his face, trying not to compare.]

Open.

[At least he can go about his work calmly, professionally. He could always do that. Well. Nearly. He doesn't think about that day.

That's a lie.

But he can't find anything wrong. No sign of illness or injury. And that puts him in his element, just a bit. He's calmer now, obviously competent.]

Did you eat or drink anything strange lately?

[fullondiva]

Tony rolls his eyes.

"Listen, Punky," he says, "this is, as far as I know, a public bathroom. If a mysterious stash of fairly decent liquor appears, and no one's claiming it, then I figure it's up for grabs."

He considers the bottles for a moment, takes a drinking glass from beside the sink, and opens a bottle of scotch. He pours a few fingers in, and raises it.

"Cheers."

3 -2 -1?

[peacekeeperavox]

The view from the rooftop was still staggering to Darius. The sheer beauty of the city, the quiet of the garden. It was here he came to recharge, when he could convince himself he was allowed.

But today, but this morning, he'd come up and found the shattered pots, the trees torn from their beds, the ruined foliage. And now it was afternoon, his hands were black with soil, and he was nowhere near done putting it all right, but he couldn't stop working.

[fullondiva]

[Tony frowns over his shoulder. He's still sore about not being able to keep the suit. But he locks the door, without slipping, and makes his way back to the tub.

Entirely unashamed of his nakedness. Perhaps even, dare we say, strutting a little.]

contact?

[notsecondbest]

Martha liked the garden. It was peaceful, and it was sort of outside, and it was the only bit of the Waiting Room that seemed to change at all. Martha had gotten used to a change of scenery. She hadn't expected one quite this dramatic.

She gasped when she came out onto the rooftop, looking around in horror.

"Oh my god," she said. "What happened here?"

[girl_friday]

[Although she doesn't seem embarrassed, she does keep her eyes on his face as he walks back over.]

Well done. [Pepper smiles at him, and she scoots over to give him room to climb back in.]

[peacekeeperavox]

Darius looked up, startled, from where he was trying to heave one of the flowering trees upright into a hole that had obviously been dug by hands. He nearly dropped it, and had to get his shoulder under the trunk again even as he tried to acknowledge her arrival with a respectful nod.

[inciting]

"Punky?"

She shook her head, leaning against the sink and scowling over at him.

"If you think it's a good idea to drink mysterious alcohol that comes from the bathroom, remind me not to ever drink with you."

[notsecondbest]

Instantly, Martha was moving. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you," she said, joining him next to the trunk and lending her own weight against it. She wasn't sure what was going on--she'd seen the man around, but he'd been quiet. Now that she thought about it... she wasn't sure she'd heard him speak at all. Whatever he was doing up here, she didn't want the tree to fall on him.
