122nd Devotion: Quality Time with the Rival

[Video/Action]

[One moment Solomon Goldsmith is out enjoying the view of the city's lights below from his balcony, and in the next moment his environment abruptly shifts into a bright interior room. His face shows some sign of annoyance at this, but not the typical shock or hysteria that is often evidenced by others in the City. After all, Solomon has been going through such inconveniences like this for longer than most.

Instead, he looks down at the splattered mess of his deep red beverage staining the light carpeting and gives a slight tug on the handcuff now encircling his wrist. With narrowed eyes, he looks askance at the cello bow being held by the other man's captive hand.]

...Haji. Of course.

No.

[Solomon doesn't miss the glint of blades as they slide into Haji's pocket. However, it's quite easy to misconstrue the other man's intent.]

... is that really necessary?

Okay, well if you need anything...

Kind of a pricey thing to do, right?

When I can't be sure to be able to get to them quickly? Yes.

[His head turns to fix Solomon with crooked eyebrow. Really, Solomon, you think this is for you?]

The one thing I've heard consistently is that this place is... unpredictable.

How so? If the question isn't intrusive. I only wish to learn as much about this place as I can.

[It's the only way he can keep Saya safe.]

I believe I will be sufficiently occupied for the time being.

...are you well?

[identity profile] favoritetraitor.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Suit yourself.

[He gives a slight shrug of his shoulders and turns his head dismissively to look towards the exit that will lead them back to the balcony.]

I'm just surprised that you need it.

[identity profile] whithersoevergo.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
I don't.

[Not for you, not for anyone, not if he's fighting for Saya. Despite his shortcomings, he will not give up.]

But what is the point of turning away weapons when you have them?

[He moves with Solomon easily enough, eyes adjusting instantly to the different light of the balcony. While he wasn't usually one to enjoy such things, the view was nice.]

Totally intrusive but it's okay. I opened myself up to it. Besides, it's not really a secret.

There's the whole thing with people leaving. My boyfriend, at the time, went crazy--totally not a curse--and there was a chance of him eating me and or my friends.

And I was killed by a psychopath a couple of months ago.

You were killed? [This worries him. Well, it all worries him, but this is the most disturbing.]

Re: voice;

[identity profile] mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah and he's back. Just walking around because...there's not much the City can do.

Re: voice;

[identity profile] whithersoevergo.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Why not? [He really needs to re-read that death part of the guide he was sent.]

Re: voice;

[identity profile] mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
People don't stay dead here. I mean, we stay dead but we still walk and talk and shop and live minus the heartbeat and the breathing and the body temperature.

Re: voice;

[identity profile] whithersoevergo.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Is that why your murderer is still free?

Re: voice;

[identity profile] mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. He was caught and people killed him but, like I said, it didn't stick.

I can afford such things.

But then again, it is Haji's fault. Perhaps I should have him pay for it.

Re: voice;

[identity profile] whithersoevergo.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
There are no prisons here?

(Private)

[identity profile] favoritetraitor.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that does put me a bit more at ease.

[But his usual easy smile is gone from his face, proof that Solomon isn't completely deaf to Luke's warning.]

Then I think you will find most of the curses to be so. The majority are merely inconveniences that end soon enough. I consider it to be a learning experience.

[identity profile] favoritetraitor.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's quite fortunate then.

[identity profile] sempreadagio.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
That's really a nice way to look at it, learning experiences.

[identity profile] sempreadagio.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm well. Nothing seems to be weird here so, I think all is as it should be.

[identity profile] sempreadagio.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe. Or maybe you should have the City reimburse you since it cursed you in the first place.

Re: voice;

[identity profile] mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com 2011-08-30 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
There are jail cells, I think but there's no justice system. I'm not sure what the police do.
