Jason is just in from his run, looking much more like his old self. He's fleshing out nicely and is finding that his sets are coming much more naturally to him again. He'll probably head home to work a bit soon and get some money coming in. But for now he's at a table, drinking a large glass of water and waiting for his sandwich.

[OOC: Mun will be leaving soon, so slowtime will be called. Just wanted to throw him in there since it's been so long!]

But instead of a sandwich, a Goth arrives by his table.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Damn, they're not nearly as tasty.

"Hey Teja, how's it going?"

[ostro_goth]

"It is going well," Teja says. "Greetings, Jason. I would ask you the same!"

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

He gives a crooked grin. "Can't complain. I'm thinking about heading back to work soon, now that I have my girlish figure back."

He waves to the chair in front of him; an invitation to sit.

[ostro_goth]

Teja sits.

"Dare I ask my Charlie whether we should go and watch you perform?" he says.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason cocks an eyebrow, but grins. "If you can even get in without me arranging it. Usually they don't let guys in."

Though the dancers can pull some strings, or if they're with a woman.

He snickers to himself. "What, you want to watch me strip, Teja?"

[ostro_goth]

"You have heard me play music, have you not?" Teja says. "I would see you at your art."

[latino_menace]

Ramon eyes him for a moment before coming over and sitting down, without waiting for an invitation.

'Jason. It's been a while.'

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Good mood gone. That ease is instantly replaced by a deep sense of distrust.

"Ramon."

He watches Ramon take a seat, uninvited. "I don't have any business for you; you don't need to sit."

Truth be told, it's tempting having him right here. Even knowing Ramon's ruthlessness, he'd always come through...

[latino_menace]

'Too late.'

He's quite comfortable, thanks.

'You don't need anything? I'm surprised.'

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

He takes a long swallow of water, trying to wet his suddenly dry mouth.

"No," he says slowly, "I don't need anything."

Which isn't exactly true: he needs Ramon not to be there tempting him.

[latino_menace]

Ramon laughs quietly and lights a cigarette.

'Bullshit.'

Junkies never change underneath.

'I heard you almost died,' he then adds, in a conversational tone.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

His lip twitches into a slight snarl before he regains control of himself.

That cigarette smells good...

"I'm glad to know you're so concerned," is his answer.

[lady_moon]

Moon comes over from the bar with her cup of bubbles and glitter and tea. She stands beside him, smiling, holding out a similar cup of the tea, only not pink and sparkly.

"For you," she announces, quite proud.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

He glances up and smiles. "You bought me a drink? That's sweet of you." Maybe one day it would evolve into a bikini-clad Moon bringing him beer on a beach in the Caribbean...

He takes the drink, pleased that it's not sparkling at him, and takes a long sip through the straw, chewing the boba pleasantly. "Sit with me?"

[lady_moon]

She squirms in next to him, sipping her own sparkly version.

"I told Bar it was for you and that you probably wouldn't like the pink and the sparkle and the neon green bubbles."

Moon is realizing not everyone likes sparkles and color as much as her. She cuddles against him, chewing on her own bubbles.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well Bar likes me well enough to keep girlie drinks out of my cup."

He drapes an arm over her shoulders. "You been staying out of trouble? I haven't seen you in a few days."

[lady_moon]

There's even more snuggling as she draws her knees up.

"I don't get into trouble. Only wolves and cats and vampires get into trouble. Well. Lately."

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

He grins wickedly. "You're with me aren't you? Some might say that's trouble enough."

She gets a quick kiss to her temple. "I've been very good lately. The vampire is the one causing trouble."

[guppy_sandhu]

"You're looking well." Guppy comments, pleased, from down the bar.

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

Jason finds the voice and smiles, giving Guppy a nod.

"Feeling much better, doc, thanks. Just over two months now with no hiccups."

He waves him over invitingly.

"How are you? Rugrat letting you sleep?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"That's great, I'm really pleased for you."

Guppy smiles and comes over.

"He's keeping me busy." he says, slightly evasively. "Walking already though, said a few first words."

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

"I'm still grateful for everything you did."

He cocks his head at the change in tone. Guppy must have his hands full with the kid. "Walking, huh? That's when they start getting into trouble, right?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"You're more than welcome, though I hope you won't be doing it again." Guppy says, smiling slightly.

"Yeah, he manages to get himself into a surprising amount of that for an about eight month old baby. My wife had to go and pick him up from nursery today because he was... well, for lack of a better word, ridiculously upset and they thought he was sickening for something. But the second she turned up and took him through into the next room on the way out he was absolutely fine." He shakes his head.

"In the end, she just asked them to keep him with the older kids in that room for the day and left him there, and he was fine. But every time they tried putting him back in the baby room he just screamed his head off. There's no logic with these babies."

[loyaltyinmotion.livejournal.com]

He smiles. "No plans to, doc. I'm still working on getting everything back to normal."

Jason looks somewhat surprised. "Advanced kid. Maybe he's just moving faster than the other babies and wants to be with kids more his speed?"
