[ooc: Julie can be found a variety of places. Grocery shopping, the garage, the park, the library at one point and even later on trying to get home without getting kissed. You can even find her at the shooting range.

So clearly she must be accosted and kissed. Have at it.]

Of all places Jean-Paul could be, those closest to him would not suspect him being at a library and fairly sober. He'll remedy that later, but he wants a clear enough head for what he's researching.

He's been searching for a while, going between information and looking for corresponding titles. Either books on ballet are very well liked by members of the City, very rare, or the City is doing its best to hinder him. He doesn't really care.

But it's during one of these trips that he runs into Julie. He's less on edge than the day he took a very young Julie to a zombie movie (and he's still not sure what to think of it beyond 'blasphemous to art'), mostly because he has his addictions of choice back and partly because of the idea that's hit him.

He nods to her. "Mademoiselle." It is, after all, only polite to acknowledge her.

[ooc: if you prefer action tagging, go for it. I just tend to go actual prosey in logs.]

Julie looks up from the book she'd been reading through. Some bizarro book about a girl falling for one creepy as fuck vampire. It was holding her interest, but just barely. Seriously. Who writes this shit? Jean-Paul gets a grin once she recognizes him.

"Hello! I've been meaning to thank you for watching out for me the other day when I was cursed."

Totally not seeing the mistletoe growing over their heads.

He gives her a bit of a nod and a smile. "Please don't mention it. It was... interesting, to say the least."

He's missed the mistletoe growing overhead.

"What're you reading?"

[Look who else is headed back from the store. In his bag Jesse has a box of Frosted Flakes (no milk), orange soda, frozen corn dogs, and a pair of scissors.]

Dude! I woulda said hi if I saw you. I swear on Tony the Tiger that I wasn't trying to blow you off.

[Meanwhile, Julie's purchases consists of a bag of chips, a six pack of soda and some fruit. She spends more time eating out than staying home for dinner, ridiculous as it is, but they don't have restaurants back home and she wants to try everything.]

Jesse! Hey. Oh, don't worry about it. I didn't see you, either.

[She also doesn't see the mistletoe growing on a lamp post above Jesse's head. If she did, she wouldn't be beading over so she wasn't shouting in public.]

[theblowfish]

[He points to the fruit.]

Eating healthy, nice.

[As she leans, something tells Jesse to glance at his surroundings. He does, and notices certain greenery around them.]

Hey, uh, did you notice?

[He points at the mistletoe growing above them and shuffles forward a little.]

[ the library. john doesn't often go there, unless he's doing some research about his sister's project and all that, or if he wants to find some place quiet. usually no one dares to bother anyone in a library - it's like a cardinal rule or something, but occasionally there are a miscreant or two that wreaks the peace.

he's leaning against a shelf and pouring over a book, until he hears footsteps and realizes that someone's around and probably wants to check out the piles of books behind him. and then he realizes that that someone is julie. ]

Hey. Sorry, am I blocking you?

[ he goes to move - but there's suddenly a mistletoe over their heads, so he's definitely not moving away. ]

[Julie was trying to teach herself how to cook. Unfortunately, it wasn't going too well for her. Someone suggested a 'For Dummies' book and she wanted to try the library first.

She'd found a couple beginners book, not at all feeling stupid for her lack of culinary know-how. The last one she needed was near John, and that mistletoe, so instead of finding her book, she found herself dropping the small stack of books she held. Kissing John was much more interesting and important.

Her fingers curl into his shirt and her lips press against his. This wasn't going to be awkward in a few minutes or anything, no.]

[olduvai]

[ even the loud thud of the books that echoed across the large room didn't stop john from pulling julie close to him by her slender waist and deepening that kiss, because no, nothing else seems more important than kissing. he lifts one of his hands to cup a part of his face gently, angling her head close to him. ]
