canon - jem / homeless / oh god what am i doing.

Hey, good, you went through with it! Pretty outrageous of you, huh, Mun?

But - uh - let's get real for just a second. Why are you gonna go through all the trouble of making me icons and getting me a layout and everything if you're just gonna - not use me?

You're not thinking of that, are you?

'Cause, you know, I'm not exactly just gonna sit here quietly. That's not my style.

And no, I don't have other responsibilities [eyeroll]. Shana's got guitar, too, you know. And they've gone without me before.

Come on! It'll be fun.

I can't agree with ya more on that part. Sittin' still's for those that have either somethin' holdin' 'em down or somethin' holdin' 'em back.

Say, you said that they went on without you before. What's that about?

Yeah! Just because it's okay for her, or anyone else she keeps in this place called a headspace - weird - doesn't mean that it's really good for me. [she shrugs.]

Oh. I - uh - I'm in a band, and I left. A couple of times. I mean, not for long, or anything. But they did fine!

That's...sideways. Your mates up and go on as if nothin's happenin' and you're okay with that?

[Not that it hasn't happened to Varon but it still sucks to feel left behind.]

Well - no. [she has to admit - that stings. she frowns.]

How do you know that wasn't the reason I left in the first place? Because they acted like that when I was there and I wanted to teach them a lesson?

Ugh, that's not good. I'm not the one to talk about treatin' others one way or another but even I find that a bit selfish. It's not your place to play on people like that. Ever thought about makin' it right again? You know, show 'em you're sincere?

Yeah? Well, it's not their place to ignore me. Or let Je - [kimber don't you dare let that slip.] Jem get all the credit for everything.

Besides. I did make it right. I went back. [she crosses her arms and huffs. so there.]

[Eyes wide, blink, laughs.]

Hate to break it to ya but that's life.

Okay. And I'm gonna change mine and fix that.

[Now that causes him to break in a full on laugh.]

I like you're spunk! What's your name?

Kimber. Kimber Benton. [she frowns again as he laughs at her and - yeah, that's a hair flip.]

What about you?

Varon.

[Now he's smirking. Don't mind him, he likes getting under people's skin. It means he likes what he sees so far.]

Pleasure, Kimber. Nice name.

Hey, thanks! [apparently all it takes is a compliment for a complete mood-turnaround. awesome, kimber.] Your's, too. I don't think I've heard it anywhere else.

[Talk about a quick 180. He can get used to this.]

Yeah? Well, I'm on in a million. Unique people are hard to come by. I'd like to hear ya play sometime.

[Headcanon tidbit, he can play the drums but it's for therapy and not really something he considered on a professional level. He's pretty good at it too.]

Maybe you already have. Heard of Jem and the Holograms?

[because it's definitely still the 80s. absolutely.]

I'm sure I have. I travel a lot so I hear all kinds of sounds. I heard your stuff a few times. Even in Australia we get some. Ever been there?

[Of course!]

Australia? Oh, yeah! We've been everywhere, pretty much. That's where your from?

Ace! Born and raised. Do ya miss the jet-setter lifestyle or you rather go it alone and just enjoy the view? I'll be honest, I like travelin' by myself but there are some places that are best shared, you know.

[she takes a second. she's never really thought about it before.] I think I'd miss it, you know? I mean, we don't get too many chances to just relax, but sometimes, it's just so boring. And I like being around people. I think it'd get lonely.

But, that's not to say that I'm just gonna settle for sitting around when no one wants to come with me. I can take care of myself!

I'm not doubtin' that. To be honest with ya, what I do is very lonely. But you know, I make due. I've seen places that most people only dream about and I can tell ya, there are places that aren't so hot.

[Like prison *cough*]

Speakin' of places, what's your favorite?

What do you do? And what kind of places? It's pretty easy for me to find at least something good in pretty much everywhere we go.

[at which point she takes a break at intruding on his personal business to think about his question!]

Well. I love Asia! China especially. And New York City! And Paris! Oh, Paris is so romantic. [did she giggle? yes she did.]

Well, it's...complicated. China's nice. Been to Hong Kong a few times. New York is busy but awesome and Paris, heh, it woulda been better if I wasn't with some jackaroo.

[He chuckles at the memory. It was for business but hey, what she doesn't know can't hurt. They both have their secrets.]

What kind of complicated? I'm sure I can figure it out! [kimber, honey.]

Yeah, but the business is what makes it awesome! All the lights and the people and the scene and it's just outrageous! And Paris - huh? You didn't like her?

[Eyes wide...a blink...a shudder.]

Uh...no. I was with a dude.

[Now he laughs.]

That was a pretty awkward situation in and of itself. The complications...well, that's really somethin' that I shouldn't talk about just yet. We just meet.

[wink]

Oh! Oh, my gosh! [her eyes go wide too and she covers her mouth.] Sorry! I didn't mean to make weird assumptions or anything like that.

[after she recovers from that, she sighs almost frustratedly.] Well - okay. If you say so, I guess. [what she needs to do is realize that not everyone reveals their life story in five seconds.]

[Another laugh. It felt good to just...laugh.]

It's fine. Really, no worries.

[He sees that pout. Why do girls get to him in such ways?]

Alright. Tell ya what, we can talk things out at a cafe if you're interested. It's...yeah, not somethin' I can just say willy nilly.

[His life...is pretty heavy. >_<]

Hey, sure! That sounds great! I can keep a secret. Promise. [she grins. partly out of reassurance, and partly because she won, basically.]

[Scratching the back of his head.]

Yeah, well, I dunno if you're gonna think the same way after what I'm about to tell ya...

[Dropping his arm, he looks back at Kimber.]

Alright.

[[Musebox this?]]

It'll be fine. Trust me, I've seen some pretty crazy stuff, so.

[she smiles. and then -]

...Is there somewhere you had in mind? I don't know these parts too well.

((sure - do you have a place or should i bust mine out?))

[His brow raises.]

Oh? Well, it's really not often I ask a girl out to some cafe or somethin' just to talk. Normally, it never gets this far...

[Or that he doesn't allow it to get any further than just the name.]

[[If you have one already in existence, we can use that. I just got started on DW.]]

Huh? Really? [head tilt. but she shakes it off; she's got this.]

It's fine! I'm sure we'll find somewhere!

((indeed i do! let me know if there are any problems.))

Heh.

[Now it was his turn to give the shy smile.]

Let's go.

It is hard when you feel you'll be less than useful. I know I worry too. I'm sure you'll be fine though.

Ugh, tell me about it. I don't wanna just sit and wait for her to come around.
