Sitting alone

by **Vinny Patterson** » Thu May 26, 2016 10:12 pm

Vinny was sitting on a park bench outside the hedge maze, slumped down and stretching out. He wasn't in costume, which might explain why he hadn't headed over to the costume party.

((open))

"There you are." Amy's voice comes from above, similarly un-costumed as she's floating in midair.

"Oh, heya Amy. I thought you'd be at the party?"

by **Amy Myers** » Wed Jun 01, 2016 5:17 am

"Basil kinda tried to hook me up with somebody there so... eh..." she makes a scrunched up face.

"Oh geez, it's like Sophomore year all over again, huh? If you want a date, you'll go and get one, yeah?"

by **Amy Myers** » Wed Jun 01, 2016 3:36 pm

"Right? And he was super weird about it too. He had this weird little fold up motorcycle thing he tried to give me. As, like, an apology, I guess? But it was weird."

"Well, yours trumps mine, I suppose," he said, pulling a manilla envelope out of one pocket and dropping on the bench next to him.

"What's that?" she asks, floating down until her feet touch the ground again.

by **Vinny Patterson** » Thu Jun 02, 2016 3:58 am

"Open it, and find out."

If Amy did so, she would find a fat stack of crisp banknotes.

by **Amy Myers** » Thu Jun 02, 2016 2:49 pm

"Is that...? Why are you carrying around so much cash!?" she asks, staring at the bundle of notes with her mouth hanging open. "You didn't sell the van, did you?"

by **Vinny Patterson** » Thu Jun 02, 2016 8:16 pm

"No. This came from your motorcycle daredevil," he sighed.

by **Amy Myers** » Thu Jun 02, 2016 9:24 pm

"What, he just handed you a wad of cash?"

by **Vinny Patterson** » Fri Jun 03, 2016 2:14 am

"No, he left an envelope full of cash on my pillow."

by **Amy Myers** » Fri Jun 03, 2016 6:52 pm

"That's just weird. Not even a note or anything?"

by **Vinny Patterson** » Fri Jun 03, 2016 9:10 pm

"Nothing. I'm only assuming it's from Basil because who else would leave an envelope full of cash under your pillow, the tooth fairy?"

by **Amy Myers** » Fri Jun 03, 2016 10:18 pm

"How much is it?" she wonders out loud, flipping through the bundle.

by **Vinny Patterson** » Fri Jun 03, 2016 11:20 pm

"700 pounds. All new bills."

by **Amy Myers** » Sat Jun 04, 2016 7:07 pm

"Good gravy. That's a lot of money!"

by **Vinny Patterson** » Sat Jun 04, 2016 7:29 pm

"I know, right? It's...it's nuts."

by **Amy Myers** » Sat Jun 04, 2016 7:35 pm

"You gonna keep it?"

by **Vinny Patterson** » Sat Jun 04, 2016 7:43 pm

"I have no idea," Vinny sighed. "I don't...really get the point."

by **Amy Myers** » Tue Jun 07, 2016 2:57 pm

"Well he threw out one of the van's seats. It's probably for that, yeah?"

by **Vinny Patterson** » Thu Jun 09, 2016 3:52 am

"Well, money's not gonna help with that. They don't exactly make those things anymore, you know."

by **Amy Myers** » Thu Jun 09, 2016 3:13 pm

"I know that. But money's money. And maybe you could find someone who can make, like, a replica."

by **Vinny Patterson** » Thu Jun 09, 2016 7:37 pm

"I'd feel dirty about taking it. I don't know how to give it back when he never acknowledged he gave it to me, though."

by **Amy Myers** » Thu Jun 09, 2016 7:43 pm

"Same way he did? Just slide it under his door or something. Orrr... you could just consider it a British Douche Tax." she shrugs.

by **Vinny Patterson** » Thu Jun 09, 2016 11:51 pm

"Isn't that, like, theft or something, though?"

by **Amy Myers** » Fri Jun 10, 2016 2:03 am

"He gave it to you though. That's not exactly stealing it from him."

by **Vinny Patterson** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 12:17 am

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Still seems like a shitty way to guilt-trip someone."

by **Amy Myers** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 12:27 am

"Could always give it to charity or something if you don't wanna keep it."

by **Vinny Patterson** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 12:42 am

"Yeah, maybe that's the best thing to do with it. Just...a weird start to the year, yeah?"

by **Amy Myers** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 1:21 am

"Weirder than the Mongols who shot arrows into the van?"

by **Vinny Patterson** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 1:30 am

"Yeah. You expect that kinda stuff if you go to a superhero school, yeah?"

by **Amy Myers** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 5:47 pm

"You maybe." she chuckles.

by **Vinny Patterson** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 6:57 pm

"I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in the brochure somewhere," Vinny laughed.

by **Amy Myers** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 7:26 pm

"Nobody reads those things."

by **Vinny Patterson** » Sat Jun 11, 2016 10:29 pm

"Yeah, like you weren't super-excited to come here. Suuuure," Vinny teased.

by **Amy Myers** » Sun Jun 12, 2016 1:06 am

"Fine, nobody but me." she chuckles.

by **Vinny Patterson** » Sun Jun 12, 2016 1:58 am

"Though, to be fair, I do think they try to hide the 'you could die' bit. That didn't seem to get mentioned nearly as much."

by **Amy Myers** » Sun Jun 12, 2016 3:50 am

"Yeah, wonder why they'd want to downplay that."
