richie catchall
i only know about it through osmosis..... how much clown trauma
[ it's time to have a little drinkie drink. elysia has changed into something less sexy angel, and there isn't a better or worse time to check out the bar.
she has a mixed drink and raises it to richie in greeting. ]
Hi, Rich. Is this better for your mood?

[Thank god. For the drink. She's no longer in sexy angel garb but the new duds fail to leave much more to imagination. He's no prude, but Jesus Christ, what the fuck?]
Good to see you, 'Lys. [He dips behind the counter to find himself a little something to smooth it all over. For his own part, he's looking casual: bomber jacket and a button up, nice jeans and leather shoes. If you had some familiarity with American largess you could likely tell they're all a price point beyond the reach of the blue collar shopper. A detail that's for sure lost on half the saved souls here.]
Oh, sure, sure. Still waiting on a rhyme and reason, but hey, at least they widened the sheep pen a few yards. How about you?

[ sorry to his 80s sensibilities and that she's from a hyv game
she brightens when he says lys. she loves a nickname. ]
Do you have to have a reason? I'm not doing any worse than I have been.

I would prefer one, yes. Especially since we've been cut off from the rest of the dead.
[Not that he's keen on getting into the weeds about it, but anybody would understand, wouldn't they? Death and taxes were life's only guarantees. By proxy, so was loss.]
You think you could stick around here forever?

Maybe we'll get a reason soon. They can't leave us alone like this for too long if they left us a note to greet us.
[ that wouldn't fit the heaven aesthetic of the sky and water. ]
No... not forever, but I'm used to waiting for a long time.

You don't say?
[SHAKES IN THIS BEING BEFORE PROFILE REVEAL. ARA GIVE ME THE LORE]
You get stuck in one place often?

[THEY ARE AT THE LIGHTHOUSE, admiring its majesty. Maybe they took some drinks with them from the bar. Richie's not an alcoholic but shit, if it's free? He's partaking a little more than usual. Not that he's been pregaming or anything.]
Kind of implies that we're expecting more company at some point, doesn't it?

[ elysia is a social drinker, at best, but she will keep him company because that's what she does.
and because we want biting to happen. ]
Because we've gotten more places to run around in?

Because a lighthouse is meant to hail ships in.
[He waves a hand out to the sea.]
I mean, it can't all just be ocean forever.

[ HE JUST HAS TO ASK QUESTIONS AND MAYBE SHE'LL ANSWER. ]
In a way. I wouldn't say stuck in one place is accurate, but it's.... adjacent?

Some things could just be for the aesthetic, but.... a train did come to the train station, so a ship could come to this beach.
Would you be into that?
[He glances to her, one brow raised.]
Ship travel. Cruises or whatever. Surely you've spent a little time on the wide open sea in your lifetime.
[your extremely long life]

Sure. I had to travel for what I had to do. Soldiers are deployed.
Okay. We're playing twenty questions, are we?
[He shoots her a grin. Teasing...]
"Adjacent." So, something like being contractually bound? Or family ties?

Well, it's not entirely my own secret to share, so I can't give everything away. If it's mainly about myself, I'll answer what I can.
It's not... really a contract? And it has nothing to do with my family. It's... not the most common circumstance, I don't think. Um... what year are you from? Or what level of technology are you familiar with?

I am—or was one. Combat is one of my skills.
[in that outfit.......
Richie takes a sip of his drink.]
No offense, Missy Lyssy, but I wouldn't have pegged you for it. Not in a million years.

You're only stoking my curiousity. You know that, right?
[He leans on the bar, chin in one hand as he contemplates her answer.]
1985. Los Angeles, California, U-S of A. If that means anything to you. We've got computers, but they're bigger and boxier, and our phones are usually hooked to a cord on the wall. There's a few mobile ones floating around, but they'd cost you an arm and a leg for the pleasure.

[ she laughs a little. she's not offended at all. ]
A little surprise is good for health. I know my appearance can be deceiving.

That part of the military strategy? Blind them with a girl who — what was it? Is as Gorgeous as Dancing Petals?
It's just another reason for you to come talk to me again.
[ hmmm ]
It has some meaning to me. I think.... you'll havea to gain some more knowledge of your future to understand more about me. Twenty-first century technology would be a good jumping point.
[ she holds up the standard issue cell phone as if to say that's a start. ]

[ she winks. ]
It could be.
[ she shakes her head. ]
The Honkai doesn't care about that. The way it threatens humanity is many, and appearances don't have much to do with it.

[The music is on at the Soundstage. Heart gives a sweeter air to the day than it deserves, and Richie isn't in the booth but sat on the floor in front of it, bottle of H*nnessy in hand.
He waves to Elysia when he spots her, mouth quirking. Not making it to a smile.]
Didn't even see her leave, did we?

[ elysia can smile for the both of them. the music is nice even if it might not fit the overall mood. she comes over and sits down next to him. ]
We couldn't, could we? That's one of the worse parts. [ getting made unconscious. ] If she was awake.... I don't know if I hope she was or not.
