001 - shenanigans

[citharede]

[ It's three in the morning when she posts this video.

Here is Athena, hanging her head and part of her torso off the edge of her apartment building's roof and filming herself upside-down, the dark streets below outlined in streetlights and marked by the occasional pedestrian. ]

How do you do, fellow kids. [ She dangles one arm alongside her head, hanging on to her device one-handed. ] I'm super fucking bored which I didn't think would actually be physically possible on a moon in another universe, but anyway.

Who wants to go on a firefly hunt? Catch a bunch of the fuckers, turn them loose in a department store. Or an office building. Or a coffee shop. Anywhere we can get in easy and run away fast. [ She rolls over so she's filming herself against the backdrop of the night sky now, instead of the street. ]

Whoever catches the most wins something, whoever gets bit loses automatically and has to go jump in the river.

[ The dark-complected man with the impressive 'stache looks quietly amused, and arches an eyebrow at the feed, taking a sip from his glass of wine before he actually says anything. ]

The Quarantine can be a bit boring, I'll give you that, but...fireflies?

[ Fireflies... are great and beautiful, but even a mention of any bug would summon Jyushimatsu from his deep and not-even-explosions-wake-him-up sleep. A summer miracle, one would say.

He's already out of his pyjamas and into his hoodie outfit when he replies in a burst, eyes shining. ]

Did it already start? Please tell me I'm not late!

[ THANKS FOR THE HEART ATTACK, KID. The only reason Jeff's not freaking out by the time he responds is, of all things, seeing that exchange with Waltz. At least his hard-ass tendencies are good for some things.

Also it helps that it's closer to a normal hour when Jeff responds, so, like. He knows you didn't fall off the building and die. ]

You're plotting shenanigans where I can see it! Bold move.

[ Then again, Jeff was sound asleep when this post went up, since it was 3 am (I must be lonely~), so filtering this post away from him would've made no difference whatsoever.

Shit. He's gonna have to, like, get some tech savvy person to show him how to set up an alert to ping him when Athena posts, isn't he? So he doesn't sleep through the next hijink. ]

[You know who's up at three am? This lady. So she sees the post and feels quite old honestly. But instead she just offers:]

How about the university instead of a coffee shop? I mean, people are already going to need enough mood altering substances at the coffee shop already. Seems like a bad idea.
