One X One with Honorable Villain & Vespertina

[Theodore Adams]

"Well, yeah," Alex said. "Not like I'm gonna wear that dress and let you get away with wearing jeans and a t-shirt. I'm sure you can find like a button-up shirt and a tie to wear. You'll be fine." Alex smirked at Damian and picked the bag with her dress in it off her bed. She pulled it out and hung it in the closet so it wouldn't get wrinkled.

[Honourable Villain]

Ryu watched Alex and Damian both out of pure curiousity as he sat quietly. It was difficult for him to remember what it was like to be living but watching these two go about their day would probably help him trigger something sooner or later. He wanted to remember, so why did it have to be so difficult? Ryu mentally sighed to himself and his gaze slowly shifted around the room as if he was afraid he would miss something. His bangs hanging above just shy of his eyes.

Damian pulled out his phone one last time and he groaned with slight annoyance. "Yeah, I'll find something." He replied. "But I think I'm pushing my luck right about now. It's gonna be late soon and I don't want someone throwing a hissy fit." Damian said as he sat up and then stood. He raised his arms to stretch and he tossed his empty Caprisun into the small trash bin located in the corner. "I got nothing to do tomorrow so if you need anything just call me or something. Oh and have you seen my skateboard? I think I left it here last time I was over.." He said lightly.

[Theodore Adams]

"Oh. Here." Alex hopped off her bed and went back to her closet, where she pulled out Damian's skateboard. She handed it out to him. "You need to show me how to ride that sometime. I got a few good-sized bruises that aren't going away anytime soon. Are you heading back now?"

[Honourable Villain]

Damian grabbed his skateboard and held it against his side under his arm. "Alright, I'll take you to the skate park when it isn't so crowded." He offered with a slight smile. "Yeah I'm heading back home, but I'll go on my own," He said and was a bit stern about this. Everybody knows how New York can be once the days begins to end and turn into night, it was no place for a girl like Alex no matter how much of a tomboy she may be. Anything can happen and Damian didn't like gambling with chances. It was just him when he was around friends and those he cared about despite his joking nature. "I'll see you tomorrow, alright?" He said with a slight tilt of his head before moving towards the bedroom door.

Ryu watched Damian and took notice to how protective he was over Alex. Even if Alex said they were only friends, it was easy for Ryu to tell that the boy liked her. He knew what to look for, but he remained silent and began sorting out a few silent thoughts that ran through his mind.

[Theodore Adams]

Alex gave Damian a small smile and a wave as he left the room. "See ya tomorrow," she said.
After he had left, Alex stood still in the middle of the room for a moment before sighing and flopping down on her bed again. She rolled onto her stomach, picked up her Wii remote, and went to turn off the Mario game the pair had started earlier.
"So," she said. "How are you, Ryo?"

[Honourable Villain]

Damian closed the door behind him once he was outside, tossing his board to the ground on it's wheels so he could starting skating down the sidewalk. It wasn't that crowded like it was a few hours ago but Damian would dodge the few people that scattered the streets here and there.

Ryu glanced up at the girl once she started speaking to him and he gave a slight shrug in response. "Nothing, just thinking." He replied and wondered if he should really be honest with Alex. "How long have you been here? I think I've seen you around before but you looked.. younger." He said and his words were a bit careful.

[Theodore Adams]

Alex pursed her lips. "I think we've lived here for...two, maybe three years now? Dunno. Why?" Now that she thought about it, Ryu seemed vaguely familiar. She didn't know if she had actually ever known him before, or if she had seen someone who looked like him on TV or in a magazine or something. She couldn't quite put her finger on it.

[Honourable Villain]

Ryu lifted a hand to rub his temple but it was no use now. "Nevermind," He breathed. "I guess I've seen you before when you leave your house for school, probably confused you with somone else" He said with a heavy sigh. As far as memory would allow him, he could remember his first few days just after he found out he was really dead. The house was empty already but he knew it wasn't like that when he was alive. He figured that used to be his home since it was so familar to him. "What year is it?" He asked a little out of the blue but it was something he might use to help him.

[Theodore Adams]

"Two thousand eleven," Alex informed him. She was sure she'd seen him before now. Where, she couldn't remember. Yet. "Ryu, did you just...show up in that house, or did you travel there from somewhere else?"

[Honourable Villain]

Ryu's eyes blinked a bit when he received his answer and he was taken aback. He's been dead for that long? It didn't seem like it, not at all. Three years? 2008 was the year Ryu clearly remembered or it seemed a bit important to him. "I must of traveled or something but I don't remember clearly, as far as I can tell I just showed up there." He said and his grey eyes met the ground, a bit deep in thought. Seeing Alex's expression, he looked back up. "You have something to say?" He questioned.
