i don't want to spoil the party

WHO: ellie & gil.
WHERE: gil's apartment and then wherever.
WHEN: backdated to midnight of 1/19.
WARNINGS: talk of dead stuff again maybe??
SUMMARY: gil's life is suffering but with cute ghost ladies.
FORMAT: no


[ midnight is a long way off when gil gets up and does his usual cleaning of the small apartment space. lack of sleep isn't much of a problem for him-- he tends to sleep for short periods at a time and is mostly a light sleeper anyway. since he's anxiously awaiting ellie's appearance, he showers hours before twelve (keeping an eye open to ensure nobody was wandering through the walls), does some light grocery shopping and returns to make himself a small dinner.

a few minutes to midnight, he looks to each and every wall in the living room, feeling more and more apprehensive about their plans. he feels for his lighter and cigarettes, pulling one out of the box to light the end and take a quick drag. maybe she won't come? he wonders as he watches the faint smoke rise in the air. ]

[ she gives a little nod (still quietly plodding along) when he looks back. ]

I guess none of us do.

[ though ellie doesn't focus on him, no; her gaze scans across the streets and skyline.

it's nicer when it's dark, and not because of who she is. it's nice because the darkness covers up the dirt, just a little, and so does the ice. it looks like things are almost totally okay. absently, she wonders just how perturbed the poor man is. she can't decide if she cares or not.

maybe that's bad, but it probably doesn't matter.

It's not awful, isn't it? It's like an extended vacation!
