Wedgie

Covet: Cadence was sitting on the couch, waiting for Bryan and his Mystery friend to come over. She'd picked up a few things, snack and drink wise but figured it was going to be a pretty casual night. She had Rosie in her lap and was brushing him out making him look even more cute and adorable for company. Plus it was distracting her erratic thoughts.
Tsaaq: He shut the fridge door after grabbing himself a beer. He cracked it open and glanced at the back of Cadence's head then moved quickly to the music room. Remy walked over to his drumset and went over to his shelves of vinyls and flipped through a few of them before shrugging and taking a seat on the couch, picking up his laptop and placing it on his lap.
Alexithymiaa: -Bryan stepped off the elevator with CJ in tow, his hands slipped down into the pockets of his striped jeans as he walked almost completely without a limp and headed down toward their apartment door, his head tipped back slightly to address the female. "You'll like them. Cadence and Remy are cool." Stopping in front of their door, he pulled a hand from his pocket, knocking against the wood. // CJ was a tall brunette, her long brown hair hanging straight down her back and realistically the only skin showing was her hands which were badly scarred and marked up. She held a container of chocolate chip cookies and followed Bryan down to their door, stopping to wait to be let in.
Alexithymiaa: (NOOO)
Alexithymiaa: "I'm sure any friends of yours are bound to be fun. I mean, to tolerate you? They have to be pretty good sports."-
Covet: Shge glanced over that direction as he moved through the living room and shut himself in the other room. She let out a sigh and picked up Rosie giving him a squeeze, "There spoiled ball of fluff, at least you look presentable and not like you've been rolling around the house all day. " She head the knock on the door and went to get up, "Speaking of that's company. Behave, and be adorable." She told him as she held onto him, knowing he'd scurry for the door anyways if she didn't. She opened it up and waved at them both with the one hand, holding a fidgeting skunk in the other. "Hey guys come on in."
Covet: *She
Tsaaq: He heard the knock from from the other side of the wall and shifted on the couch but instead of moving he decided to stay on the couch.
Alexithymiaa: -Bryan nodded to Cadence when she greeted them at the door, stepping forward and into the apartment, reaching a hand out to stroke his finger's over the skunk's head. "Heyyy. How's it going? Cadence, this is my friend CJ. CJ, this is Cadence." // CJ stepped forward and smiled warmly to Cadence, holding out the container of cookies to her. "Hi Cadence. It's nice to meet you. Wow, this apartment is great." Her eyes scanned the large room, taking it in.-
Covet: "Nice to meet you CJ. This is Rosie, And then there's Remy who's in the other room, and Hashie, Soot, Strangles and Mushu. Welcome to the menagerie of misfits." She said, taking the cookies, "Sweet, you didn't need to bring anything. Come on in and make yourself at home. Do you guys want anything to drink? I've got Soda, Juice, water, beer" She said putting herself into Host mode.
Tsaaq: Remy rolled his eyes once he heard the speaking coming from the living room. He picked up his headphones and then plugged them into his laptop.
Alexithymiaa: -He glanced at CJ a moment before stepping further into the room, looking back at Cadence. "Yeah, sure. I'll have a soda. Thanks." He paused, spinning around a little to survery the room. "Where's Rem?" // CJ shook her head. "It's only right to bring something when you're a guest in someone else's home. Something I've been TRYING to teach Bryan." She shot him a little look before nodding her head to Cadence. "Oh, water would be great. Thank you so much." She took a step forward, stopping at the staircase to take it slowly down into the living room.-
Covet: Cadence  watched them and closed the door behind them setting Rosie on the ground to do his skunk thing. "He's in the music room, He does't really want to be bothered though. Not that I expect you to listen to that advice, but I told you.  She said, then made her way into the kitchen to set the cookies down on the counter and grab a water and a soda for them both, handing Bryan his before she made her way around to the couch watching CJ all curious like because new person.
Tsaaq: His eyes fixed on his screen as he started to type on his keyboard loudly in an attempt to tune everything out.
Alexithymiaa: -Bryan took the soda from Cadence, taking a quick sip before furrowing his brows. "He doesn't want to be bothered? But he knew we were coming to hangout." He took another sip and shifted over to the couch, lowering himself down to sit. "I have the number for the place to get his tux from. Only place in Oregon that has sequin tuxes." He smirked way too hard, pleased as fuck at the mere mention of a sequin tux. // CJ took her water from Cadence. "Thank you." She watched Rosie run around on the floor, letting out a small laugh before moving to sit down on the couch beside Bryan. "I love the picture you have on the wall." She lifted her hand, gesturing toward the framed 'people disappoint, pizza is eternal' picture.-
Covet: "I know, I'm just the messenger. If it's business, he might not mind." Cadence shrugged unsure on the matter. She watched Rosie bouncing and burrowing into the pillows on the floor, then looked up at the poster, "In this house, Pizza is life. As it should be. We just don't talk about hotchocolate or ice cream. "
Tsaaq: Remy focused on his computer and glanced at the wall periodically, finding it more and more difficult to stay on track. He shut his laptop and gathered his things hurriedly.
Alexithymiaa: "I don't know if I'd necessarily call it business. Although I guess sort of because it's shit that needs to get done that no one wants to do so...." He trailed off, taking another sip of his soda before turning to look at CJ with a quick smile. // CJ nodded a bit triumphantly. "I completely agree. I don't know what I'd do without pizza. I'd probably eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if I could. Unfortunately pizza favors my butt more than anything else." She let out a little laugh, tossing her hair over her shoulder.-
Covet: "Ah..."She said looking at Bryan, then over to CJ. "I know them feels, I just make it work for me. Squats are my friend. Or that's what I tell myself." She said babbling a bit, then looked at them both, "So, How'd you two become friends?"  She asked them both, glancing between the two of them.
Tsaaq: He carried his laptop in his arms and stepped out of the room and walked through the living room. "Hey." He said nonchalantly with a lazy wave then went towards the bedroom. "I'm going to bed." He said as he went to open the room door.
Alexithymiaa: "Oh, well we met in physical therapy. Sort of. I was in physical therapy, and she was busy being a good person and volunteering there." He gave an easy shrug, his eyes following Remy as he crossed the room. "Oh hey. I have the information for the tux place that has the sequin tuxes." He dug his hand into the pocket of his jacket, pulling out a business card of a tux shop. // CJ laughed, taking a sip of her water. "Something like that. But that makes me sound a lot better than I actually am. I used to be in physical therapy. Now I just visit to check in on some old friends." Her eyes moved to Remy when he emerged, sending him a friendly wave.-
Covet: "Oh cool. I was going to say, you seem way to put together to be friends with this asshole" She said referring to Bryan. She looked up as Remy came out and walked across the room, announcing that he was going to bed, "Oh.. Okay. I'll be headed that way once Bryan and CJ take off."  She looked over to CJ and smiled, "Oh wow, that's really cool of you. I bet they appreciate it, having that support system of a friend."
Tsaaq: He nodded his head. "Oh... okay cool." Remy said as he went over to Bryan and glanced at the card. "Okay so just let me know when you want to stop by the shop or whatever for measurements and shit." He said with a shrug and scratched the back of his neck.
Alexithymiaa: -Bryan smirked, flipping Cadence off. "Shut up." He pasd the card over to Remy and nodded. "I'll be free this weekend if you want to meet me there. And you can get a glimpse of these sequin tuxes that are fuckin' badass. You're literally the only person who hasnt bitched about wearing sequins. Or pants. So that's pretty cool." // CJ nodded her head politely to Cadence. "I know how important it is to have someone there for you in a tough time like that, especially when physical therapy can be so discouraging at times. So I stop by to see how people are doing. And that's how I met Bryan. Not exactly the most determined patient I've seen." She started to crack up, reaching over to rustle Bryan's hair. "And that's putting it lightly."-
Covet: "Bryan Determined about himself? Yeah that sounds about right." Cadence said laughing, "Okay but that's because you have a problem Bryan... with shiny things... like glitter...and sequins." She blinked then nodded, admiring CJ for that, " I don't want to sound like an asshole, for bringing up old wounds...bad time for a pun, but What were you in physical therapy for? If you don't mind me asking." She said being nosey because she was curious about this chick and Bryan's relationship to her.
Tsaaq: Remy's eyes widened a moment. "Wow, but it's just sequins. And it's a suit." He shrugged his shoulders."This weekend sounds good, so just text me to remind me and shit." He looked around. "Uhhh, I'm gonna disappear now." Remy muttered.
Alexithymiaa: "Hey, some assholes make a big deal out of nothing. Getting worked up and shit." He shrugged, kind of just blowing it off. "But yeah, I'll text you." // CJ moved her hand, smacking Bryan in the side. "Language. Be polite." She rolled her eyes, returning her glance to Cadence as she leaned down to pull up her right pant leg, revealing a prosthetic leg. "Mainly this. I lost it serving in Iraq." She shifted to pull her jacket off, revealing her bare arms covered in scars that matched her hands. "Along with an assortment of other smaller things. But there's no need to apologize, it's something I'm pretty proud of. It makes me stronger." // Bryan looked a little sheepish, rubbing his side. "Sorry."-
Covet: "Gee, I can't think of anyone like that." Cadence said blinking at Bryan for his own words, and the fact that the mimicked Remy's to her earlier. She looked at Remy and nodded, "Night, Babe." Cadence's voice was soft. She turned to CJ and her jaw dropped. "Holy shit.  I mean, Thanks for your service. That's really amazing. " She said, a little speechless.
Covet: *that they
Tsaaq: "Okay." He said in a monotone as he backed away. He listened to the girl speak and frowned a little. "Yeah thanks miss." He called out. "Night." Remy went inside of the bedroom with an exhale as he went to his bed and plopped down onto it.
Alexithymiaa: -Bryan sat a little awkwardly, scratching at his hair to try to right it on his head. "Calm down, she was a medic. It's not like she was running around taking out terrorists." He quickly turned his head to look at her, wanting to take his words back. "Not that you werent helping people. I just mean it's a different type of service. Nevermind. I suck. I'm sorry." He dropped his head a bit, because word vomit. // CJ smiled at Cadence and then Remy. "You're welcome. I'm just doing what I can. Or was. Well I guess I still am. I don't know. Things have been a little confusing the last few years of my life." She turned to watch Bryan stumble over his words, reaching over to take his hand. "Stop talking."-
Covet: Cadence eyeballed the two of them and their interactions, she laughed at how she treated Bryan, amused by it and how he listened. " You're definitley still doing that. Even as a medic, the sacrifice alone and to be over there supporting like that. That's more than I've ever done in my life. I respect what you do. I'm sure coming back and adjusting hasn't been that easy in that time either."
Alexithymiaa: -Bryan slumped back in his seat a bit, turning to look at CJ as she spoke about her experience, kind of just sitting with a grin on his face. "She's alright. She still sucks at Call of Duty. Go figure." // "It was a struggle, yeah. But nothing I wasnt capable of handling. Now i'm just assimilating into the rest of society. I'm currently completing my residency at Portland General." She shot a look at Bryan before cracking up. "How many times do I have to tell you how unrealistic that this?"-
Covet: "Bryan... Video games and the real deal are very very different. You can't hold her to those expectations when field dressing someone is a lot harder than pressing a button for a med pack." Cadence said with a laugh. "That's really cool to see how far you've come. I'm sure Portland is pretty calm compared to Iraq, so that's probably nice too."
Alexithymiaa: -Bryan scoffed a little, turning his head away. "Some videos are really hard. Do you even game? Do you even know?" // "Well..." She trailed off, trying to keep her amusement in check because Bryan is a dumbass. "Portland isn't exactly what I'd call calm. Especially not the ER in Portland General. I've seen some stuff I could have lived without seeing. But by comparison, I guess so. Yeah."-
Covet: "Bitch I will school your ass one v one right now." Cadence told him, because she was a lowkey gamer. "Shit...nevermind. It's in the bedroom and Remy went to bed. But Next time. I will slaughter you." She challenged then looked at CJ realizing that she'd been part of some of the crazy shit that's walked into that ER. "Yeah... But you're helping save lives. So that's a plus."
Alexithymiaa: "All talk, all talk." He waved her off before pulling himself up off the couch. "It's pretty late so we should probably head out. But thanks for having us over. It was cool to hangout." He turned and offered CJ a hand to help her up. // CJ put her hand in Bryan's and climbed to her feet a little unsteadily, turning to look at Cadence. "I really appreciate you welcoming me into your home. Especially based on the word of this one." She laughed, gesturing toward Bryan.-
Covet: "Okay, Noob Scrub." Cadence told Bryan, then nodded her head as she stood up with them so she could see him out, " I wasn't too worried. Bryan might make lots of bad decisions, but people usually aren't one of them. It was great to meet you too. Get home safely."
Alexithymiaa: "I'm going to remember you said that." He shot back at her, walking to the little set of stairs and taking them up slowly to the door. "Wish I could say the same about my sister because she found YOU." // CJ walked with them toward the door, moving behind Bryan and slapping him on the arm. "Stop it. Cadence, it was a pleasure to meet you. Have a good night." She pushed Bryan out the door, following behind him.-
Covet: "You still hang out with me though. So suck it." Cadence said, then waved as she saw them out. She grabbed Rosie and put him in his cage for the night, then went to go crawl into bed with Remy.
