[Neil is hanging out at the fountain, Hands shoved into his pockets, looking around warily.]

So uh... no one try to eat me today, okay? And we'll be good.

[ooc: Open to everyone and everything! Come and get him!]

[Approval! Validation! Yessssss.]

Yeah. And then this angel chick had to come stop her, and she kissed me, too. It was pretty epic.

[greatstoryman.livejournal.com]

You're totally lame. Everything's complicated, that's what makes it worth it.

...Don't be an idiot about it, maybe.

[ilesbiansyou.livejournal.com]

Are we in a porno?

[byronicamars.livejournal.com]

Do they usually listen to the polite requests for no violence? Seems fairly unusual if they do.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Dude, no.

B'sides, that was a while ago.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

I don't. I mean, I'm not. [He runs a hand through his hair nervously.] 'Cept for sort of, maybe.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Dunno, never tried. Worth a shot.

[greatstoryman.livejournal.com]

She likes you, huh?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[He smirks, slightly. He's fighting not to do the full-on idiot grin thing.]

Yeah.

[greatstoryman.livejournal.com]

[ Sickening. What has she started? ]

You'll be fine, dude.

[ilesbiansyou.livejournal.com]

So you used to be in a porno. You shouldn't tell people these things, Young Neil. Awk-ward.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

I wasn't ever in a porno, man!

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[That's... actually the most comforting thing anyone's said to him in a long time. Which might be kind of pathetic, considering.]

Thanks.

[greatstoryman.livejournal.com]

Yep.

[ilesbiansyou.livejournal.com]

Alright, I won't tell anyone. Sheesh.

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Dude. If I was doing porn, then explain why I've only had sex once.

[Uh... oops. Now that he probably should have kept to himself.]

[ilesbiansyou.livejournal.com]

You've had sex?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Ouch.]

Yes. And not on camera.

[ilesbiansyou.livejournal.com]

Aww, Young Neil!

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

[Neil's face shifts so quickly from 'Don't look at me like I'm a kitten that just did a cute trick' to 'Yeah, I know right, I'm awesome.']

I'm like way different now. I'm even starting my own band.

[bakurakrazie.livejournal.com]

Okay so that was kind of weird, but- Hey, Neil! How's it been going since the last time I was here?

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Pretty good, I guess. [Neil thinks over what's happened since last time there was a day like this.] I'm starting a band, sorta.

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

Because of me? [She looks more confused than honoured by that. She doesn't understand how he can know about Nymeria. She doesn't think that many people know about her direwolf.]

[illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but my roommate kept calling her Nym for short and now she won't answer to anything but that stupid nickname.

[NEIL IS WAY TOO DENSE FOR THIS, but he kind of catches on to the fact that he's confusing her.]

Oh, uh, this is kinda complicated, but where I come from your life is kind of a book instead of like, a real thing. It's this whole big weird different-worlds sort of thing. [Not... explaining this very well. But he's trying.]

[needleofmyown.livejournal.com]

Nym's a stupid name. I like Nymeria better. It's better for a wolf than a dog, though.

[Yeahhhhhh, not really helping, Neil. Arya's face is set in a stubborn scowl.]

No, it isn't. My life is real. No one writes books about me.
