(no subject)

WHO: NATASHA and GIL
WHERE: somewhere they will run into each other who cares
WHEN: late afternoon of 5/21
WARNINGS: no?
SUMMARY: Gil has decided maybe he does indeed need a job here and makes a really sad attempt at job hunting. Natasha probably shakes her head at all this.
FORMAT: quick


[ In all honesty, Gil didn't know where to start on this job search he finally vowed to do. The City is still unfamiliar and uncomfortable for him, as is his MAC apartment. It's not as if his old apartment back home is fancier than the assigned one here, but he did like privacy and the MAC didn't have much to offer with that, he felt.

Rather than opt to use the communicator today, he takes a stroll down the streets. This city feels hotter than Lebleux does even in its longest summer days. He wonders if it's possible the weather is different in the future, but then the slightest thought of home makes him feel anxious and frustrated so he digs into his pocket for a cigarette to calm his nerves.

Too wrapped up in needing his nicotine fix, it doesn't occur to him he should be careful of whose faces he might be blowing smoke at. ]

[ She didn't like it when Nick Fury smoked, she didn't like it when people smoked in airplane bathrooms, she didn't like it on the streets where it always seemed to blow in her face. Smoke follows beauty, that was the saying.

(For some reason back home it had stopped, the past two years. It was as if everyone had quit, suddenly. Spontaneously. Natasha didn't question this, but it made her remember, just at that moment, the cling of smoke flying towards her face, that she wasn't home.]


It's against the law. [She says, her tone resigned, but even.] Outdoor smoking. They banned it in 2011.

I'm not going to report you. [It's not like anyone does, unless you are in front of a cop in a park. She's really not the type to go to the authorities anyway.

She assumes he heard her perfectly well the first time, though.]

You're that man from the network, aren't you?

[She has a good memory for names and voices. She has to.]
latrodectus: (don't let hollywood get away with this)

[personal profile] latrodectus 2012-05-24 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
That is what they call me.

[She arches an eyebrow, expression otherwise placid.]
latrodectus: (Default)

Don't worry. I don't break easily.

[ She's used to men being rude— she's not used to them apologizing for it.]
latrodectus: (i can't quite touche my face!!)

[personal profile] latrodectus 2012-05-26 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
So?

[Her expression is still neutral, her voice ambiguous. She'll take any information she can get, from anyone. But changing her tone suddenly to one of warmth and honey would probably throw the man off guard. She's not a hard person— not to look at, at least.]
latrodectus: (прости)

[personal profile] latrodectus 2012-05-26 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
It is for a lot of people.

[ Not so different for her, she thinks. Enough to be unsettling, but not enough for her to be uprooted. ]
latrodectus: (no you do not get mouth to mouth)

[personal profile] latrodectus 2012-05-26 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
And are you there, in their private moments, to see them adapt poorly?
latrodectus: (я не понимаю)

[personal profile] latrodectus 2012-05-27 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
It's true, though. Some people find it easier to adjust.

[a noncommittal shrug gesture]

{ Natasha doesn't flinch under scrutiny. She's wearing her best coat today.]

Natasha. Nice to met you.
latrodectus: (actually holding a sandwich)

[personal profile] latrodectus 2012-05-27 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
It's Ms. Natasha. Or Madame Natasha, if you must. I've been widowed.

[Well, there you go.]
latrodectus: (making fun of stilt-man)

[personal profile] latrodectus 2012-05-27 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
[That catches her attention. Her head tilts— a slight, but perceptible movement.]

How long has it been, for you?

[She is older than she looks, after all.]
