WHO: August and Varian ; August and others
WHERE: The park (away from the goose)
WHEN: June 1st
WHAT: August teaches Varian about Pride | August would not be opposed to talking to others about it (also the boy needs fresh air)
WARNINGS: Swearing. It's August

[Closed to Varian]

[1820s. 18-fucking-20s. The fuck. And August gets the distinct impression he's just given Varian all the validation and he does not know how to handle this.

Shit.

But. Well. He's not great at this shit but he is at least prepared with his leftover flag samples from last year and Google so if he can help Varian out then goddammit he is going to help the kid out.

August sends Varian a text saying he's at the park, just look for the raven with the knife, and starts pulling up what he thinks might be most relevant.]

[OTA]

[After the talk with Varian, August is just chilling in the park. It's a nice day, it's been a long one, and also he needs to try and spot the goose. Make sure it's just a goose. Maybe call his aunts about picking it up or something.

If anyone else wants to talk, he's here.]

[eyediot]

...Why anyone would try to steal a goose, let alone more than one, is beyond me. But that's his own brand of idiocy ruling I suppose.

[He's watching that goose tho.]

How will you know if that one is something else?

[drewthetower]

I can sort of talk to animals, mostly birds, so if it gets close I'll try and ask it but otherwise...watch it? Film it? Call my aunts and ask what they think?

making the same face as his icon

[eyediot]

You--

You can talk to birds.

[drewthetower]

[Handwobble!]

It's really rough, but...yeah? Used to just be "really good at knowing what Julian wants" but lately it's gotten better.

[The fact the the guy didn't flinch at "the goose Zodiac mentioned" told August this guy probably has the app.

God he sure hope he has the app.]

[eyediot]

I... See. I didn't realize that was something someone would be able to do.

[drewthetower]

[Shrug!]

You have the Libra app, yeah?

[eyediot]

[Eyes him SO intensely for a second.]

Yes. I do.

[drewthetower]

Yeah, shit's gonna get a lot weirder.

[Says the guy with the raven with a knife.]

That's tame compared to some of the shit.

[eyediot]

[He rubs a hand down his face before looking back at the birds. Keeping his voice low.]

I'd really rather it not.

[drewthetower]

Join the club.

[Unfortunately.]

August, by the way. August Villareal, I'm one of the seer guys.

[eyediot]

Jonathan Sims.

Cafe owner.

[drewthetower]

Oooh, which one? And do you mind birds?

[eyediot]

I'm not sure about the birds yet. But, um.

[God he has to say this OUT LOUD with his MOUTH.]

Whiskers and Whipped Cream. A cat cafe.

[drewthetower]

Wait, we have one of those? Since when!?

[August will absolutely make his bird wait outside if it means cat cafe.]

[eyediot]

Since, ah. A few months ago. I only moved here a year and a half or so ago, and it took some time to set up.

[drewthetower]

Hell yeah, I've always wanted to check one of those out. Probably not good to bring Julian, but he can deal this one time.

[Offended raven noises!]

Ignore him.

[eyediot]

[HUH. Just. Looks at the raven.]

Duly noted.

We're open at odd hours since most of the patrons are students, so I'm afraid I can't give solid working hours.

[drewthetower]

That's fine, I keep weird ass hours anyway. Commissions mean I work late and sleep never some weeks.

[eyediot]

Then you shouldn't have much trouble finding when we're open.
