Brigid took a deep breath, and stepped out onto the grounds. Her clothing was... anything but baggy. To Victoria's credit she didn't look remotely like a streetwalker, but hips were certainly hugged and... other attributes emphasized.

Brigid meanwhile tried to look confident rather than self-conscious.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:02 pm

Alex stretched as he walked out into the grounds, still with his mind mixed up about things. Granted, that was not helped when it was mixed up even more when he caught sight of Brigid. Wow. I... wow.

Tommy was milling about outside as well, not doing anything really of note.

He was turned away for now, but his wizard hat was unmistakeable.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:07 pm

Alright, now just walk... the heels aren't that high, you've got good balance, the only thing is to make it not look dorky...

With a long-legged stride, she headed down the path nonchalantly.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:09 pm

Alex took a few minutes to watch her walk and... appreciate it, before his brain snapped back into gear and he remembered that he had no idea what he was going to do about... well, anything. Shit, he thought as he watched her get closer... and rather enjoyed watching her get closer...

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:17 pm

"Oh, hey there, Alex," she said in what she hoped was a casual tone as she neared, a slight smile on her lips.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:22 pm

In Alex's head, a little thought of just... forgetting everything that had happened pranced into his mind and started kicking all the nagging thoughts out of his head with stiletto-heeled feet. "Hi, Brigid," he said, what he hoped was a cool, casual smile on his face.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:31 pm

Okay, made contact... what do I talk about? Er... not headbutting Haley.

"Nice day for a walk, isn't it?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:32 pm

"Yeah, it is. I..." And as Alex tried to think of what to talk about, things went on exactly the same tangent as Brigid's mind. "...have to go," he said, starting back for the building. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid...

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:33 pm

Crap! What did I do wrong?

"...you sure? I wouldn't mind a little company."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:37 pm

"Yeah, well, maybe I do," he said. "I've got a lot to think about since yesterday." Maybe a little assholish, but probably a little deserved.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:42 pm

Her expression fell.

"...well alright then."

"I guess I'll... see you around."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:45 pm

Alex stopped, not looking back yet, and took a deep breath. For god's sake, is there any option here that doesn't make me feel like an asshole? "Okay, seriously," he said, turning around. "What am I supposed to do here?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:48 pm

"...what do you mean?" She asked, rather off her game by this point.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:51 pm

"Do I get an option here where I don't end up looking like a complete asshole to someone?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:52 pm

"...what are you even talking about?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:54 pm

"I..." Oh for god's sake, this isn't THAT much my fault... "Fine. We're going to play it that way? Fine," he said, turning back toward the building.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:55 pm

"Well you're not making a whole lot of sense!"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:56 pm

"What, so I didn't get Haley headbutted?!"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Wed Apr 25, 2012 11:57 pm

She frowned.

"...she did a pretty good job of that on her own."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 12:11 am

He frowned a minute, and tried to keep his mind on the subject at hand and off of her hips. "So why did you headbutt her, then?"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 12:12 am

"You didn't hear what she was calling me."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 12:20 am

"...Oh." He rubbed at his eyes, a million thoughts flying through his head, all of them vying for his attention and approval, none of them making any more sense than the others. "I don't know. I'd better go."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 12:22 am

"...well fine, go." She sighed.

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 12:28 am

Dammit dammit dammit dammit dammit... Frustrated, and feeling that frustration building like a physical pressure inside him, Alex punched a tree as he passed it.

And, a blue glow flaring around his fist, he punched a good-sized chunk out of it, making him stop and gape at it. The fuck?

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 12:45 am

She blinked.

"...what the hell, Alex?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 12:46 am

"I... don't know! I... DAMMIT!" he shouted. Seriously, one more thing he fucked up? "Can I do any god damned thing right!"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 12:47 am

"Er... well... I don't know. What were you trying to do?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 12:55 am

"I don't know I just..." With a frustrated sound Alex just leaned back against the tree, resisting the urge to bang his head back against it for fear of breaking it even more.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:07 am

"Then just... take a few deep breaths?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:12 am

"God, what the hell is it going to matter," he muttered. "I'm doing shit and not remembering why I did it the next day, getting people into fights in the cafeteria, getting people in trouble when stupid god-things are attacking the school... I just don't know what to do next that isn't going to just make everything worse."

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:25 am

"Look, this... this wasn't on you. This was on me and Haley."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:26 am

Alex gave Brigid a 'don't bullshit me' look. "So without me, that would still have happened," he said dryly.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:34 am

"Well maybe you shouldn't have... yeah... but... she's not doing herself any favors here."

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:37 am

"Exactly! So what the hell am I supposed to do, do something else and get other people hurt?" It seemed... at least very likely that he wasn't aiming this as an accusation at Brigid, more of a general anxiety.

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:39 am

"Well it's not like I know what the hell's going through your head!"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:45 am

"Well why doesn't anyone just fucking ask once in a while!"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:49 am

"Is it going to help any with you and Haley making out making sense?"

by **Alex Carpenter** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:50 am

"THat doesn't even make sense to me!" he protested. "I don't even know why the hell I did it, because I sure wouldn't have done it the next day! Just like I freaking told Kay when you sent her after me!"

by **Brigid Plunder** » Thu Apr 26, 2012 1:52 am

"I didn't send anyone after you!"
