first entrance.

So, life has finally started to resemble something that might be referred to as 'normal'. At least ... it's something normal-like, according to Miss Jessica Day. Mizz Day. Jess. The Jess-ster.

It can be noted that Jess is pretty much used to things never really going the way they should, or the way she wishes they could in her head.

(Like the whole thing with her ex, Spencer; and her spontaneously moving in with a bunch of guys - who are honestly the best, so really, no regrets there - because she couldn't stand living with a bunch of models anymore.)

But people are often singing out their feelings in these situations in her head. Sometimes, there's even a random dance number. So maybe it's best that they don't really go the way they do in her head.

In any case, she's standing in the doorway with a slightly rumpled, but still brightly coloured solar system diorama in her arms, eying the new locale with a fair amount of confusion, skepticism and disbelief on her face. Her large-framed glasses slide down her nose.

That is when Saturn decides to come loose from its string, the spray-painted orange and brown foam ball bouncing to the ground and rolling off towards a table.

"Oo-kay. I'm pretty sure this ... isn't supposed to be here."

A young man in a white uniform with rather disheveled red hair catches Saturn by its rings before it gets to far.

"I think you've dropped something..."

Darius eyes the styrofoam ball dubiously. He'd never have guessed Saturn, but then, he didn't pay that much attention in school, so...

"Oh, anyone. Saturn's always been a rogue. You can't trust it as far as...well, as far as you can throw it."

He nods to her diorama. "Need some help with that?

He'll just pick up that cardboard boxy shape from her and carry it over to the nearest table.

"Wise move," he says, settling Saturn into the place it looks like it should probably go.

He prides himself on his keen observational skills.

"Of course." He grins and offers her his hand once the diorama is safely settled. "I'm Darius, by the way."

He keeps grinning, leaning forward equally conspiratorial. "It kind of is."

Not a phrase he's familiar with, but he can guess the meaning well enough.

"Yeah, it's kind of funny that way. Best I can work out is that sometimes you open a door and it leads here instead of...wherever else."

"Just like that. When I first came here, some cranky kid with horns was trying to give me a really long explanation for it, but mostly that's what it boils down to."

He shakes his head at the names. "Don't ring a bell, though."
rabbitworthy: (hand wringing)

"A what kind of costume?"

He'd thought it might be a Capitol thing, but by the end of the conversation, he was pretty sure the kid wasn't from anywhere like the Capitol.
rabbitworthy: (wtf)

[personal profile] rabbitworthy 2012-06-11 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. Totally blank expression here.

"Well...I don't think it was a costume. Is that sort of thing...not done where you're from?"
rabbitworthy: (wistful)

[personal profile] rabbitworthy 2012-06-11 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Darius laughs softly. "We don't have any actual people with them either, but that doesn't stop some folks."

He shakes his head. "So, um, if nobody's said so, this is Milliways. I guess it's at the end of the universe, and your first drink's free. And the rules are simple. Which is always nice."

"No fighting, no grudges, no sex," Darius says, counting them off on his fingers.

"In the bar proper," he adds. Because...well, that's important right? The bar doesn't rule out sex altogether, just where people could see it.
rabbitworthy: (lip biting)

"I'm not sure what the consequences are for breaking them," Darius adds, somewhat more serious. He's used to pretty strong consequences, himself.
rabbitworthy: (smirky)

[personal profile] rabbitworthy 2012-06-11 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Darius laughs at that. "Smart, but kinda boring, don't you think?"
