[Backdated to Saturday morning]

[When Vereesa's eyes snap open, she's immediately aware that something is very wrong. She doesn't hear the shuffling of Alleria preparing for her day long before most people would rise from bed.

Instead, there's a man in her bed and it's definitely not her husband.

By now, she ought to be familiar with Paradisa's tricks, but even this is a dirty trick. She swiftly leaps from the bed to distance herself from the still-sleeping form that she does not recognize, and quickly reaches for her open journal, which records her movements and words.

She plans to throw it at him if necessary.]


You. Wake up.
syndicswillpay: (oh)

Well, I'm not exactly a free man, either.

[A pause.] Well, I am, but... [Another pause, then a sigh.]

It's complicated.

[personal profile] syndicswillpay 2012-02-12 12:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I don't want to impose any further.

[He turns to start heading for the door.]
syndicswillpay: (watchful)

[personal profile] syndicswillpay 2012-02-12 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I'd like that.

[Oh, Geary's more than happy to leave, considering he's just woken up in a stranger's bed.

He turns to face the door, but...

...There's no door.]

Uh.
syndicswillpay: (uwot)

[personal profile] syndicswillpay 2012-02-12 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
...I take it that there is supposed to be a door there, yeah?

[Geary shifts slightly, considering he had nothing on his feet apart from a pair of socks. It kinda makes him feel awkward, not being in uniform fully.]

So, what do we do? The castle's made us prisoners in here, it seems.
syndicswillpay: (oh)

[John turns to look back to Vereesa, his eyes fixing onto a point slightly to her left.]

Well, it's locked us up in here for a reason. We're probably not supposed to get out until we do something.
syndicswillpay: (uwot)

[personal profile] syndicswillpay 2012-02-23 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
And I won't do anything you don't want me to.

[A pause, and he throws the next bit in.]

On the honour of my ancestors.

[His gaze then drops to Vereesa] What do you suggest we do?
syndicswillpay: (puzzled)

No worries!

[He looks down at his mostly stripped uniform, leaving him only in his shirt and pants, really.]

Yeah, I guess you're right...

[He starts to wish up suitable clothing, mostly his uniform...

But all that shows up is jeans and a casual checked shirt. It suits him, sure, but it's not what he asked for.]

Well, I guess it's a causal dresscode, then.

[This was going to be odd. Geary hasn't been out of his uniform in over a year. A hundred if you count the time in stasis.]

[John is fiddling with a button on his sleeve, trying to get it to fasten, but other than that, he's decent.]

Yeah, I am.

[It feels odd, being in civvie clothes...]
