Played at Angel Grove musebox on IJ, technically homeless.

[todeliver]

My first entry into the "community"/muse box with your mundane friends and you've already placed me in a position of debt to someone else. This relationship is truly getting off to the right start already, obviously. Perhaps I should be glad your plans for me go no further than such if you are already trying such.

I don't take anything I haven't earned, and here you've put me somewhere that I have no choice but to accept that. ...What exactly ARE your intentions here then? I'd like to trust that we can work together well, but so far what I've seen has hardly given me much hope.

I have my work, you have your other responsibilities to attend to. Is trying to shove me into this, and making me miserable in the process really worth the cost of what you may give up here?

-Feuilly

...You may be a woman but you are not to use your special nickname for me again. I have no time for attentions like that to be of much notice these days, as you well ought to know. Or shall we read the book again?

Comments

Hans Matheson as Marius as Feuilly? SAVE ME!

[jondrette]

What does she call you? This special nickname?

Oh Yes, All of my messed up mis pup pbs I swear. :D

[todeliver]

Nothing awful, just a shortening of my name but... I...really dislike it, I've barely met her. It will be different in a month or two, perhaps.

I love it! I have such a crush on him.

[jondrette]

I'm sure it's better than what mine calls me. She likes to call me Epiny, and it's been spreading to others.

:D

[todeliver]

Nico. She thinks it's adorable or something along those lines. Epiny though. I sympathize.

[jondrette]

Nico? [She smirks, giving him a once-over.] Not too bad. Fits you very well, m'sieur Feuilly.

She says to blame Starbucks for the misspelling. At least it makes more sense in a modern AU.

[todeliver]

She's insane. I swear she is insane. They are all insane.

And yes, that's true. Provided she goes through with this new plan of course. Starbucks though. Are we allowed near starbucks? Doesn't Enjolras flay us alive if we get within twenty feet?

[jondrette]

Perhaps you aren't. But I can go wherever I like.

[todeliver]

I feel as if I am supposed to go into some sort of...rant and hand you a pamphlet extolling the virtues of the independent coffee shop...system. Or something along those lines. We haven't entirely figured out this alternative universe just yet but I am certain if we say the S word too loudly...type it too loudly? we're going to draw the wrath of...something. For the record.

[jondrette]

Please don't.

I get my coffee from McDonalds. Cheaper that way. And they don't ask for my name so they can't screw it up any more.

STARBUCKS. STARBUCKS.

[todeliver]

Gas Stations, usually for me. Easier to just grab my own and you tend to get more for the money. Of course, it's usually pretty awful coffee but...

Exactly. It's like summoning Bloody Mary.

[jondrette]

Gas stations, too. Though I like my coffees Irish.

Or Beetlejuice.

[todeliver]

See your Mcdonalds sounds a damn sight better than mine if they're doing that.

Up from the sea, the giant mermaid rises.

[jondrette]

They aren't. I am.

What are you talking about?

[todeliver]

Figures I guess.

Starbucks. Obviously.

[jondrette]

I appreciate that you consider me part of your group, Nico.

Obviously. Mermaid. Right. I was thinking viper pilot.

[todeliver]

If you use that where I'm going is that going to get just plain odd?

I imagine there's espresso churned up in her wake or something.

[jondrette]

To Half-Blood Hill? I doubt it. Though I call Courfeyrac and Enjolras by their last names. Jehan remains Jehan.

At that point it becomes more Americano than Espresso.

[todeliver]

Well. Hades kid Nico and everything. Might get awkward. Jehan is always Jehan wherever we are, of course.

...Fair point.

[jondrette]

Hey, Hermes kid Eponine is running around trying to get kicked out, causing trouble without a care in the world, because who does she have to impress? [No one really until Marius comes along...]

I know my coffee.

[todeliver]

Oh I just meant if that one from canon's running around. I mean, would we get numbers? How does that work? Probably better not to chance it and then the mundane can't purr it at me when i'm pissed at her.

...I suppose she COULD but it would lose its effect.

Impressing people? Hell, if that actually mattered...

[jondrette]

Oh, you must forgive me, I do not know the canon. Perhaps further nicknames, or numbers, or even initials. I've never had that problem.

It doesn't. People are either afraid or indifferent, and a select few, your friends, might I add, are trying to get her some sort of help. I suppose you can imagine how that is going, can't you?

[todeliver]

I can imagine not. Eponine or Epiny are both distinct enough I think.

...That...

Well. I think I can. And may be just a bit afraid.

[jondrette]

It's all just bastardizations of Eponine. 'Ponine remains the most common. Ep, as well. Eppy is reserved for few and far between so don't you dare think of using it. [Gavroche only. Thems the rules.]

As you should be.

[todeliver]

None of that then. Fair enough. I'll make a note of it.

...What am I walking into?

[jondrette]

A summer camp filled with demigods, m'sieur. What else?

[todeliver]

A madhouse? :P

[jondrette]

It's that, too.

[todeliver]

What thrills my teenaged self will have.

[jondrette]

Should your teenage self need anything to numb the pain, my teenage self has a stockpile of nearly everything you could want.

[todeliver]

To add to the thrills then? I may very well need it.

[jondrette]

Good. Just do your best not to let Enjolras catch you.

[todeliver]

I doubt I will be worth much attention from him.

[jondrette]

Why is that? Even I have caught his eye and he cares little for me.<\

[todeliver]

Unassuming little me? Can't most chaos pass me by if I stick to that role?

[Stop laughing at him, mun. He thinks he actually gets that chance.]

[jondrette]

[And Eponine is laughing at him, to.] As a demigod? Oh, no, Nico. You'll be singled out.

[todeliver]

AMONG demigods, Epiny?

[jondrette]

[She gives him her best bitchface.]

You'll see. The lives of everyone are in danger now.

[todeliver]

That's.....encouraging?

[jondrette]

Come now. We have a better chance of surviving there, do we not?

[todeliver]

Than lots of other places, sure.

[jondrette]

You will enjoy it, Nico. And you will already know me.

[todeliver]

I'm...cautiously optimistic. But even so. It's...daunting?

[jondrette]

you will find yourself enjoying it.

[todeliver]

Let's hope then.
