When; saturday 24 march, afternoon.
Rating; pg-13 if you ignore the cursing and attempts at killing curtis.
Characters; curtis donovan (mrbackwards) and alisha bailey (awkwards)
Summary; alisha notices some of her clothes are missing. and curtis has some explaining to do.
Log;

[ alisha doesn’t have much in the city. her first months here were hindered by her rather unfortunate ability to bring forth the horniness of anyone, which discouraged her when it came to shopping and existing outside of her flat. but post-return, with her rather literal take on “walk a mile in someone else’s shoes” power, she’s been able to splurge⎯

⎯as in, she has a few nice dresses, shirts, jackets and pants that she likes to recycle when it comes to wearing things more than once. and so, it’s when she’s looking for one of her really nice shirts that she notices that it’s missing.

she comes out of her room, searching for simon and curtis, when she bumps into the latter. ]

Has Nathan been in my room again?

[ the prick’s got another thing coming if he thinks he can break into their nathan-proofed flat and steal something of hers! ]

[ Curtis just happened to be in the kitchen, and is just finishing downing his water when she approaches him. His brows go up.

Then he remembers some of her things might be missing.

Which is a massive 'Oh shit'.

But he's Curtis. He can totally play this cool and see what she knows. ]

Prick ain't been here. I ain't been around very much, though. Why, what's up?

[ Don't notice your clothes missing. Don't notice your clothes missing. Don't notice your clothes missing. ]

[awkwards]

[ she goes to sit at the table, frowning. if nathan hasn't been here, then where the fuck is her stuff? it'd probably be best if alisha, you know, watched the network more closely. but she doesn't. 8| ]

There's stuff missing in my room. Or he's moved shit. [ as alisha believes nathan is the culprit, since curtis is an angel and simon keeps his hands to his own crap. ] I can't find my stuff. It's not like I have a lot here.

[mrbackwards]

[ He chews at his lip before sitting across from her. His eyes flicker down to the table before lifting to meet her gaze.

She noticed her clothes missing. ]

What is it you're missing? [ Curtis is an angel, okay. His motive was to help. ]

[awkwards]

[ use your own clothes! she doesn't even think to notice the halo that has transformed into horns and a pitchfork around curtis. she doesn't suspect him of foul play. ]

Clothes. I'm missing a shirt and some pants of mine. I wouldn't be surprised if the prick stole my shoes.

[mrbackwards]

[ In case you haven't noticed, Alisha, nobody will fit into Curtis's clothes but Curtis :| ]

Oh, uh... yeah. Wasn't Nathan. [ Excuse him while he gives a light cough to interrupt that statement and head in the direction of the kitchen in hopes of finding a beer. ]

[awkwards]

[ it's because you're the cloverfield monster, isn't it?

alisha's eyebrows rise and her gaze follows him, hard on his back. ]

What does that mean?

[ oh, no. is she going to have to think the worst of curtis, her darling ex-boyfriend of an angel in such a horrible light? ... alisha already knows what's coming, she thinks. she doesn't need simon's precognition to connect the dots.

but she wants to blame nathan. 8| why is curtis constantly being a prick to her? ]

[mrbackwards]

[ Oh shit you figured it out /hides ]

Means... Nathan didn't take your clothes.

,small>[ Curtis is secretly the biggest prick ever. See, he's really the Cloverfield Monster, then he has his Curtis alias, then he's just the biggest prick ever.

He takes a swig of his beer and clears his throat. God, he does not want to do this. ]

There was this girl who arrived yesterday.. she landed in the fountain.

[awkwards]

[ what a complex man. ]

And? What does that have to do - [ oh. you know, alisha might not be quick like simon, who thinks of digging up the bodies and placing them somewhere else, but she clearly thought the best of her no longer bff curtis donovan.

someone isn't happy. ] You gave her my clothes?

X( /quits

[mrbackwards]

[ It's tough being Curtis. ]

I... she was soaked and didn't have shit. It's not like I could give her mine. [ His lips are pursed and that beer is suddenly so delicious he's going to down it instead of trying to explain himself. ]

lmao /turns back time so you can't quit.

[awkwards]

Er, yeah you could. You've got plenty of clothes. [ ... not that they're girly clothes, but they are still clothes! alisha glares. if only her new power was to blow shit up with her mind, then that beer bottle would be toast. ]

no alisha can't do that X(

[mrbackwards]

First off, no I don't, second off, she's your size. [ Yeah, that's right, Alisha. You're small and girly, so your clothes went first. ]

She really didn't have nothing. Was grateful, said to thank you and everything.

she can! she's stuck in a timeloop. she's allowed to do ... nothing. 8|

[awkwards]

It's not like I knew I was giving any of my clothes away! It's not like we're fucking rich here.

[ which is why alisha is butthurt. there isn't money here, and she isn't really into shopping when it comes to being here, because that means she's establishing roots. and she wants to go home. she really, really does, so that means no root establishing. she makes do with what she has ...

... which she doesn't have anymore. she's probably blowing this out of proportion, but curtis has been pissing her off since he came here. 8| pissing her off the only way he can, and that's by being himself. she hates that he is here, because her desire to go home feels selfish; she doesn't want to leave her friends behind again.

hey, you're not allowed to have good points. ] You still have clothes.

she doesn't know she's stuck in a timeloop WHAT DO oh yeah nothing 8|

[mrbackwards]

She landed in a fountain! She didn't have anyone from where she was from to help her out, I just brought her clothes and helped her find a flat!

[ Defensive, yes he is, but he does feel bad. He knew Alisha wouldn't react so kindly to this, but he knew she had every reason not to. He should have probably definitely asked her at least, but it was in the moment, and Curtis has never been one to think things through.

At least not until he has to face the consequences. Hey, rewind-power, where you at? :| ]

I'm going to make it up to you, yeah? I'll find you new clothes or something. How's that work? Where you get them and shit.

[ ... ]

You want some of my clothes?

... GDI. (deadcat)

[awkwards]

[ stop being a prince who rides on his white horse and saves damsels in fountains, curtis donovan! ]

You helped her find a flat? What if she was someone who was dangerous? Did you ever think of that!?

[ she isn't even going to touch on his ... rather nice offer, because she wants him to realise that this place isn't safe. and if he goes and gets himself killed, she's going to bring him back and kill him herself. ]

(troll)

[mrbackwards]

[ But she was a pretty damsel and she needed help! ]

She was confused... like I was. She didn't know what was going on, so I helped her. Helping someone's a bad thing now?

[ He rubs at the back of his neck and sighs. ]

I'm sorry. You want me to take you shopping or something?

(lonely)

[awkwards]

[ hey hey hey hey hey. hey. ]

No. [ she doesn't want him anywhere near her clothes. 8| ] And I never said it was a bad thing. But taking people's stuff without asking is, yeah? Isn't that why we were in community service?

(cozy)

[mrbackwards]

[ Yes, dear? ]

Then what do you want? [ Because he seriously does not want her staying mad at him. ] We got community service because we were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Got caught.

(evilsmirk)

[awkwards]

[ you will end up dead, okay, bro? stay single forever. ]

Yeah, because we were doing stupid shit. I was bound to get caught. [ because she did stupid shit on purpose. ] Don't give people my clothes. I really like having them, yeah?

(evil_grin)

[mrbackwards]

[ Actually, girls have a history of dying in relationships, mmkay? You, Nikki... ]

You always did stupid shit. I fucked up once and lost everything! [ Yes. This is about him. ]

And I'm apologizing and trying to make it up to you. Let me do that at least.

(grinch smile) hehehe.

[awkwards]

[ ... then stop dating. 8|

CUE EYE ROLL. ] Is this how you're making it up to me? Accusing me that I do stupid shit and you're an angel?

(sex emote) it exists.

[mrbackwards]

[ Clearly Curtis is the cursed one sob his life he always fuck up sob sob sob /wallows in self-pity ]

I didn't say I was an angel, I'm just saying I really didn't belong there.

/ninjas out.

[awkwards]

Yeah, and we all did?

[ dig deeper, curtis. dig deeper. your dark cloud won't even save you. ]

/rolls after

[mrbackwards]

Can I make this up to you or not? [ You make his life. So hard. ]

/rolls into and kills all html

[awkwards]

[ don't put this on her!

she mulls this over. she could, and give him some peace of mind, but she's still a bit butthurt over it. she doesn't know how he can make this up to her, anyway. ]

Don't do it again, okay?

[ ... except he will. she knows he will. ]

And who did you give my shit to?

/assists in attack

[mrbackwards]

[ He just did, girlfriend.

He frowns. He'll try not to. And he probably won't because he doesn't think most people land in the fountain. But still. ]

All right.

[ AHAHAHAHA he's not telling :| ]

Just some girl.
