And not just joking about Syd eating metal

IneMiSol

StarfishPlain 

I’m on break!

IneMiSol 

oh!

StarfishPlain 

Not for long but we can start and I’ll reply when I can tbh

IneMiSol

but yes considering how late they got back to the dorms and that leslie came out of the room to check out what was happening

syd prob found them at the rooms door curiously eyeing the new ppl coming up to the third and fourth floors

with a welding mask pulled up to their head and a blowtorch in hand

just watching ppl pass by like : )?

StarfishPlain

Plot twist the script is flipped and while Leslie is wandering Syd manifests on his bed

IneMiSol

LMAO

StarfishPlain 

Leslie walks back is like where the fuck did you come from

IneMiSol

blinks

stares

"oh! theres the missing roomie!"

"sup my guy!"

"who're you!"

StarfishPlain 

Syd casually dumping his bags on the bed in front of him, waving when they come in. “I was wondering where all of that came from.” Stares at the stuff on the other side of the room before shrugging.  “Syd, nice to meet you dude! I haven’t had a roommate before this so it’s really cool to see the spot filled.”

…syd is tired he’s not as awfully chaotic as he could be.

IneMiSol

"oh thats cool! name's leslie!"

"nice to meet'cha too! i was wondering who the red chaos belonged to haha!"

walks in properly, drops the blowtorch and welding mask

sits on their bed facing syd

"say!! you been here for long? hows the job?"

"i've heard paris was a time!"

they're very chatty im sorry syd

StarfishPlain

“….it’s not always this bad” it’s always this bad

“Oh man uhhh two months now?? Three?? ….four. Time kinda blurred. I was hired in Barcelona but was assigned to this team when someone else left. Haven’t been here as long as everyone else but I think I’ve had the experience” jazz hands

“Oh yeah paris was weird. Kinda unsure what’s happening with that actually- besides the fact we met an absolute brick tower of a guy who’s like… against the occult or something. Super toxic.”

“No one should be able to toss people like a juggling circus act. Where did the milk he drank come from. What amount of protein.”

IneMiSol 

"oh thats cool!! so you're spanish?? or did you just live in barcelona?? i came here from new york, hahaha!! it was quite the trip to get here!!"

blinks and tilts their head "oh shit really?? goddamn, is that what went down?? ive been trying to catch up on the mission briefings but they really dont do it justice!"

StarfishPlain 

“Yep! Born in Spain, lived in Australia for long time, moved back awhile ago. Kinda been everywhere in those countries though. New York?? I don’t know … a single thing about there.” He laughed

“Yeah- super weird. The big boss got thrown too but … atleast he landed on someone else. No bones to be broken yeah?”

IneMiSol 

"oh yooo, thats cool! i was born in the uk, but i was too little when we moved to remember hahaha! its cool, but definitely very different from here so far! maybe one day you'll get to see it on a mission or something!!"

"oh shit big boss was thrown too?? goddamn, how strong was that guy?? hopefully we can actually defeat him, jeez!"

pauses

"oh yeah!! what class are you?"

StarfishPlain 

“hell yeah.”

“Just means we gotta train more yeah? I try offering spars to people a lot. Of course we can’t use weapons since I personally don’t wanna be on the receiving end of a whole sword but it’s still good to test reflexes and stuff!”

“Oh- Fighter! I get to punch stuff sometimes. You?”

IneMiSol 

"yooo spars seem fun! im a techie, but i sure can pack a punch too!"

"hahaha im sure i need training to reach your level though! newbie rank 1 and all!"

StarfishPlain 

Leslie is self aware of their experience level if it’s not a thing that every mission they finish it off by punching the air like fuck yeah 5 xp level up I don’t want it

IneMiSol

StarfishPlain 

“You look like it! I mean I was totally gonna assume that the blowtorch and scrap metal was just for looks. Decor choice and all.”

IneMiSol 

"also works as decor, you're totally right"

StarfishPlain

“If you want it’s a great ice breaker. I’m gonna head to the training rooms tomorrow because I’m feeling a little out of bounds with being stuck in a hotel and all. If you want we can warm you up then.”

IneMiSol

"sounds cool to me!" finger guns

"now if you dont mind, i havent had dinner yet-- you want some instant noodles?"

StarfishPlain 

“Oh I was actually gonna make paella once the kitchen cleared out. Everyone coming back is hungry so it’s crowded.”

He stares

IneMiSol 

just

"paella you say........."

"........ ive never tried that............... can i try it?"

INTERNET SEND MY SHIT

ok

StarfishPlain

“Combine it. Paella in the noodles.” He connected the dots he hasn’t connected shit-

IneMiSol

"........... that sure would be an experience!"

StarfishPlain 

“My sister makes it so much better than me but it’s edible.”

IneMiSol 

"well its gotta be better than me trying to cook! theres a reason ive been living off of instant noodles haha!"

"i deal with metal, not with food..."

StarfishPlain

“Oh I was too! But uh. When the ribs started showing I had to learn.” Laughs. “I get by specially on my own.”

IneMiSol

"oh, buddy! no ribs showing allowed! only ribs allowed are some pork ribs on the grill!"

StarfishPlain

“Oof… don’t make me more hungry dude. I feel like I could clear a buffet.”

….leans over the side of his bed and u just casually hear like three things crash as he grabs bags of groceries

IneMiSol

gdlsvdle syd

they just stare

"..... do you need help?"

StarfishPlain

Jumps up with a gremlin stance  “Yeah!! I’m not just gonna leave you alone up here.”

“We’re roomies ride or die or something. Or. Wine and dine. What was it.”

IneMiSol

"goddamn i mean im down for dine but hit the brakes on the wine part, buddy"

laughs

"well! when you feel like going down to the kitchen just tell! unless that is now. as soon as you can pass through" points at the floor "that mess"

IneMiSol

leslie will gladly chat all night

StarfishPlain

Will Leslie tell him about the rats

He wants to know about the New York rats

IneMiSol

StarfishPlain 

I respect the fact that they would talk about everything and nothing at the exact same time all night

Awful
