because I promised raincake

Who: Gilbert Nightray and OPEN
When: The afternoon of the 11th
Where: The park near Winthers lake
Summary: Gilbert laments best when there's bad weather.
Warnings: Warnings for soggy cake

[There's a cake in the rain.

Well, more specifically, there's a cake in a box on a bench near a man in the rain.

A box that doesn't reside inside of a bag, and is therefore damp from the rain. And, from the state of it and the man sitting next to it, it's been sitting in the rain for a while. It's a curious sight indeed. While people stroll by with umbrellas overhead and jackets wrapped tightly around themselves to protect from the late winter storm, Gilbert Nightray is sitting forward with his elbows on his knees, eyes staring directly at the soggy ground through his damp hair, a half-finished cigarette hanging between his index and middle fingers.

People have been encouraging him to relax lately, take a rest, spend some time by himself to be alone and sort through his thoughts, to meditate, do yoga--the list goes on and on. It seems different people all have their different ways to unwind and cope, and so far none of them had worked for him. If he's home, he'll clean and bake and fret. If he's at work, he'll clean and bake and fret.

So he's relaxing outside. He's taking a 'breather'. He's trying not to think about obligations and duty and doing his best face his anxiety and stress head on, so he's sitting outside in the rain with a cake in a soaked box.

You know you're curious.]

If you do smile I'll leave you alone.

I know, so we must wait. [Vincent crosses his legs, apparently planning on doing just that.

If I were you Gil-- I learn to smile on command right now.]
cruelties: ([Hopeful])

I will be absolutely still and quiet.
cruelties: (Look down | That bring the fog and mist)

[Oh did you say something Gil? Vincent was too busy sitting back and relaxing. He is so good enough at being quiet and still.]
cruelties: (Bloodstained | Elliot you're amazing.)

I am enjoying your company-- whether you smile or not.
cruelties: (Ah? | The glorious sun uprist)

Well, why don’t you think of things that make you smile then?
cruelties: ([Thinking])

Ah. Brother is stubborn. Perhaps I should tell him a joke.
cruelties: (Pleased | I loved you)

[Unfortunately not Gil.]

A woman posts an ad in the newsfeed that goes like this...

'Looking for man with these qualifications; won't beat me up; or run away from me and is great in bed.'

She gets many NVs replies to her ad but met someone perfect comes to her door one day. The man at her door says, "Hi, I'm Bob. I have no arms so I won't beat you up and no legs so I won't run away."

So the lady says, "What makes you think you are great in bed?"

Bob replies, "I rang the door bell didn't I?" [Vincent chuckles at the punchline, if only perhaps to make it clear to Gilbert it is one.]

[Vincent glances at him.]

Well, I suppose they then made love and the woman was quite pleased with the man's over-sized member.
cruelties: (Smile | Nor dim nor red)

We're not in public. It's only us here.
