WHERE: Rossum
WHEN: After this post
WARNINGS: NA.  Terrible analogies?
SUMMARY: Words words words
FORMAT: A series of hieroglyphics

Whiskey remembers, or at the very least Claire does, that children like candy.  And she knows that Topher likes snacks. So she waits by the elevator doors on the sixteenth floor, holding two suckers.  Still in the white dress she was wearing a few days ago during the Dent excursion, somewhere in the back of her head she is probably glad that children don't tend to watch movies like The Grudge, The Ring or any number of horror films where the creepy dark haired girl in the white dress is the bad guy.  

Well, at least she's more emotive than she used to be.  And vaguely smiling when the elevator doors finally open.

"I hope so, yes."

He didn't bother about the lack of name.

Coming within sight of McDonald's Topher's eyes lit up at the sight of the playground. Looking up at Whiskey with his bright eyes he asked, "Can I play on the toys? Just for a little bit."

She nods. "Yes. If you're careful."

"I will be!"

Once in the restaurant he raced to the play area only to come up short when he saw all the children already there. Those his own age always seemed to see something in him that marked him as strange. Laura stopped some of the early bullying he already suffered in elementary school, but that didn't stop everyone.

Turning around he took hold of Whiskey's hand again while they waited in line. "I'll play after I eat."

She knows he couldn't possibly know these children, and still she eyes them warily and nods. "All right." Off to order, then?

He's bouncing in line and once they get to the counter he adds talking to the bouncing. Grinning up at the over worked cashier he says, "Hi! I'm getting a Happy Meal with a soda, but I have to have apple slices too. What sort of toy do you have?"

The woman gives him a forced smile and looks up at Whiskey to confirm this order while adding, "Spongebob." Topher, of course, has no idea what or who Spongebob is.
