WHERE: The park.
WHEN: Today, this morning.
WARNINGS: None.
SUMMARY: Cole meets Troy. Weird stuff happens. At least, in Cole's opinion.
FORMAT: Quicklog's good?

[Cole wasn't much of a sit-in-the-park-and-take-in-the-scenery kind of guy, but you know what they say about taking things for granted? It was nice seeing a park that wasn't completely trashed. Or turned into a massive trash-fortress for a paranoid psychic. He didn't think he'd actually miss this kind of crap.

So for now, he stretched back on a bench, hands behind his head, and actually just... stared at everything.

It was kind of nice.

At least, that's what things started off like, anyway.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[When it comes to powers, Troy's pretty much fanboying every few seconds of his life. This whole place is like the numerous movies, games and comics he's fanboyed over his whole life, and now he gets to see them for real. Plus he's easily excitable.]

That's so fricken awesome, dude. This whole place is just totally amazing. My buddy, Chad, would freakin' love this if he were her."

[Here's hoping he hasn't played inFAMOUS.]

I'm sure he'd... yeah, sure. So... you got anything special?

[It's hard to tell with this kid. Fourth wall breaking happens so often he just doesn't bat an eyelid to it anymore.]

Uhm, special? Like, my powers? Cause those are still kinda in progress...

What, you still don't know?

[That's easy for Cole to say, anyway.]

I think I've got the general gist of what I can do. I think. I mean, it's kinda not that much different from what happened back home, but people here seem to think it's weird. Plus I don't really know how far I can go with them, y'know?

... okay, so what is it?

I sing! Just like I did with my girl back home. ... Except, she's not here, which blows.

[Hopefully Cole won't mind too much if Troy invites himself to take a seat seeing as he needs to have a moment of woe and a complete lack of further explanation to this singing thing.]

You got anyone?

[Cole was gonna say something about the singing 'til that. He doesn't protest, though he has a feeling he knows this could entail teenage angst. But he figures he should cut the kid some slack. He had people back home too, and knowing they were stuck in a mess like Empire City bothered him too.]

...Um, yeah. I do.

[Troy lives and breathes his girlfriends every move. Disney has built him into a pussy whipped puppy who can barely cope without his girlfriend by his side, so it's understandably far from easy to cope without her nearby.]

Yeah? Are they here or back home?

[...Cole's just hates him at the moment.]

Back home. Her name's Trish.

...Oh, m'Cole. [REAL MEN DON'T INTRODUCE THEMSELVES.]

Oh. Right, yeah, I'm Troy.

Sorry about your girl, man. It's hard, huh?

[TROY FEELS THEIR MAN PAIN CAN HELP THEM BOND.]

...yeah.

[YEAH, SURE MAN.

Short answers are short, Cole's just not exactly share-my-life-story at the moment. Yet.]

Do you think that like, in the worlds that we left, we just vanished? I'd hate to think I've got her worried or whatever. And my parents too. If I'm stuck here alone, I wanna hope they're at least happy where I left them...

[It's okay, Troy has enough rambling to go around. Good job too, cause sometimes he just doesn't speak at all when suffering from emo, and then they'd just be sitting in silence :|]

[Men talking about their feelings? Pfft, what is this.]

I heard something from people who've been back... if you get ported out, things go back the way you left it. [Which is freakin' fan-tastic for Cole.]

[Troy's only half a man. The other half is pure Disney]

So everything kinda freezes? Awesome. That's one good thing, I guess.

... Doesn't change the fact that I miss her more than anything though. And I've tired getting her here too, really tried. It just doesn't work.

... You sure you'd want her here?

[Cole's been trying to get his loved ones out of his own city, but he doesn't know if this place is much safer.]

She's a tough girl. She'd manage. I'd protect her anyway.

[There's some heavy pouting going on from Troy as he stares blankly down at the floor, hugging his basketball to him. And is that some strange beginnings of guitar music playing somewhere off in the distance...? It just might be.]

I just miss her, man.

...

[Looks over his shoulder for a minute before looking back at Troy, partly sympathetic but with a mix of who-the-hell-is-playing-guitar in the back of his head.]

... Yeah, 'know how it is.

It's like... if I'd known this was gonna happen, things woulda been different, y'know? I would've made sure that- just before I left- I got to say that final 'I love you'...

[Gradually, throughout his little speech, the soft strumming of chords (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxZByfLPdSQ) seems to crescendo, the kicking in of drums suddenly making it sound a whole lot less like some random guy in the park playing a guitar, and a lot more like there might be backing music going on.]

... This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make her wait.

[And then he's leaning back in his seat, a hand lazily gesturing towards Cole as if he's having a totally normal conversation.]

Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left...

[As the guitar music keeps on, Cole finds himself looking over his shoulder, 'til the sudden drums and--]

[wait, what.]

'Cause you know,
you know, you know~...

[Troy's up on his feet within seconds to be in time for the epic chorus, and somehow in that short space of time the entire park seems to have emptied out, linking in clearly with some sort of painful metaphor to his inner emptiness. It's just him and Cole left now. Joy. Oh, except that female figure just off in the distance with her back turned, except she doesn't feel quite there. More of a mirage, perhaps. Either way, Troy's shouting (in tune!) over to her.]

That I love you!
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long.
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore...

[And on cue the figure seems to be fading off into the distance. Troy's not stopped breathing yet though, srry :/]

[THIS FACE.

IS PERMANENTLY TRANSFIXED.

AT THIS SHIT.]

[Another short guitar solo fills the void for a second, all slightly more fast paced and poppy than it's original style, but it still seems to fill a good enough gap to have the scenery drift out, replacing their surroundings with what seems like a busy dance hall. There's still a conveniently placed chair for Cole if he needs it, and now, somehow Troy's got his superamazingawesome girlfriend standing in front of him, dressed all pretty and smiling down at the teen that's on his knees before her]

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand...

[His hand is taken, and they dance! For he likes teh dancing. And it's a familiar little waltz in the middle of the hall, where everyone seems to have oh so kindly cleared a massive and perfectly circular space for them.]

I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know~!

[COLE FINDS HIMSELF STANDING ALL OF A SUDDEN, his face still a lingering "what the hell" expression at the whole situation. He knew some people had crazy weird powers here, but now actually finding himself with some reality-bending kid magically transported to wherever-the-hell-this-was with some poppy version of Nickelback blasting from god-knows-what--]

"Cole?"

[The run-on-train of thought ended with a tap on his shoulder. He looked over...

And whatever leftover train of thought could have been there just crashed and burned.]

...Trish?

[And there she (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/infamous/images/c/c4/Trish.jpg) was. There was Trish. There was that teasing smile and that little blue dress--both of which drove him nuts. There were those arms slipping around around his back, prompting him to dance with her. Cole was too dumbfounded to move. She was there. And oh god, she was beautiful.]
