[Activity] [FotA] Cause You Can't Jump The Track

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza leans back on the bench and snorts, holding her drink a little closer to her nose. Brand leans back next to her and chuckles, "Nose bothering you?"

"A lot of people," Tereza says, watching the people milling around.

"We could go down to that dive bar you like, it's not far."

"If we go there, they'll ask me to play something and I don't think I'm up to that today," Tereza declines, taking a sip of the drink.

"Suit yourself," Brand says as they both go back to people-watching.

((Open))

[Will Stanton]

"Didn't think it'd be quite this crowded," a Will opined, from just behind them.

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza tilts her head back to look at Will upside down, "Everywhere in London is kind of crowded, but I prefer these crowds to the usual."

Brand turns her head to look at Will, "Friend of yours, Glacier?"

"Yeah, this is Will. Will, this is Brand."

Brand extends her hand towards Will, "Pleased to meet any friend of Glacier's."

[Will Stanton]

Will smiled as he shook Brand's hand. "Pleasure's all mine, though I'm going by Legion these days if we're all going with gene names here."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Apologies," Tereza says, altering her position so she's leaned against the back of the bench, half-turned towards Legion. "So anything been catching your eye at the festival or you just people-watching like the rest of us?"

[Will Stanton]

"Heh; no apologies. Just feel like fittin' in with the crowd, Glacier," Will smiled.

"Yeah, I'm mostly just people watching. Feels a bit more like home here, with everyone out and about. Not quite the same, but it rhymes, you know?"

[Tereza Rozanov]

"I kind of know what you mean," Tereza responds, "I do feel a bit more 'at home' here a lot of times."

[Will Stanton]

"It's just a shame it's kind of pinned into just here. Love to see this being more mainstream everywhere, y'know? People just being happy with who they are."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"That would be preferable. Not sure how we get there though."

"I'm not sure anything anyone has tried so far has helped, especially our former associates."

[Will Stanton]

"Former associates?" Will asked, raising an eyebrow.

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza drops her volume a bit, "Yeah, we both used to run with the Brotherhood. That's how I met Brand."

[Will Stanton]

"Ahhhhh," Will said.

It wasn't a cruel ahhh, or a particularly judgmental one, but there was some weight behind it, a re-evaluation of Brand, at the very least.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"It is and is not something I'm proud of," Tereza says, "I'm still trying to sort through some things about it."

[Will Stanton]

"Well, you don't stay in this business for long without making a whole cartload of...interesting decisions along the way," Will said, with a slight tip of his head. "Part of the cost of the trendy spandex tights."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"I don't even get the spandex tights most of the time anymore," Tereza jokes.

[Will Stanton]

"Less attention from the fashion designers, more from the dog catchers. A fair trade, I suppose," Will joked.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Depends on the dog catcher," Tereza quips, "Or the fashion designer for that matter."

[Will Stanton]

"Well, at the end of the day, you've gotta do you, you know? You've arrived at a good place, no matter the bumps along the way."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Agreed," Tereza says, raising whatever's in her cup to Will. "To good places."

[Will Stanton]

"To good friends," Will said, matching the toast with one of his own.

[Tereza Rozanov]

Tereza nods in response and Brand smiles. "You going to be staying for the entire festival or you just down for the day," Tereza asks.

[Will Stanton]

"Haven't fully decided yet. There were a couple things I wanted to check out -- see if some stores that I remember are still here; pick up a couple things while I'm down. Some of us are going back tonight, I know, but I think at least a few of us are hanging about."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"I assume you mean multiple of you?"

[Will Stanton]

"Mm," Will nodded, taking a sip from his drink. "I think there's just..." he trailed off, counting. "Three? Four? No more than five, at least. Who were planning on coming, that is."

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Gotcha. So don't assume that a you I run into is... well, you."

[Will Stanton]

"Well, it's all me. But no, if you ask me to hold your beer, don't count on it the next time you see 'me', barring a trip to the mirror in between."

He paused. "I'm confusing," he said to Brand, as if that explained everything.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Confusing seems to swirl around Glacier, so I'm not surprised to find her friends have their own brand of confusing, but noted all the same," Brand laughs.

[Will Stanton]

"I might take the fourth slot on Glacier's confusing friends at the moment. Possibly. There's some heated competition," Will joked back.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"Par for the course when you're a science experiment I guess," Tereza chuckles.

[Will Stanton]

"Well, here's to beating up those who would try to test us," Will laughed, raising another toast.

[Tereza Rozanov]

"We do our best," she says, raising her glass in half response.

[Will Stanton]

"Well, I don't want to monopolize too much of your time. Miles to go, and all that. Have a good one, Glacier. Brand."
