♕ |[55]| two blushing pilgrims ready stand

[had_not_lived]

[Even if he had noticed today's curse-- which he hasn't, not yet-- Neil would still be out and about, because really it isn't so bad to have a little Christmas cheer and a peck on the cheek is hardly the end of the world. But Neil hasn't been a victim yet, as he leaves his building and heads for the bookstore, and he's too preoccupied and sulky to notice much of what's going on around him.

Neil's not looking particularly festive, because black and blue aren't Christmas colors. He's got some visible, impressive bruises on his face and collarbone, and the fact that he's walking a bit gingerly suggests he's not much better from the neck down. There's an as-yet unnoticed spot of blood (else he'd have taken care of it) on the collar of his jacket. He's not badly hurt enough to beg off work, though, so he's bravely soldiering onward.]




[ooc; feel free to run into Neil just about anywhere- on his way to work, at the bookstore, his way home tonight. i am easy. also, he got trampled yesterday~ so be gentle ;3]

Not to mention a few other curses that have the same basic results. [Really the fact she is just kissing people and not...kissing people is refreshing!]

This one isn't so bad really. At least no one gets hurt.

[had_not_lived]

It's... festive, too, I guess. I don't really mind. [Much. It is a little bit awkward.]

[deadly_legacy]

[Giggles] Yes, I guess it is festive in a way, isn't it?

[had_not_lived]

The kissing's usually optional, of course.

[deadly_legacy]

It's better that way I think. [She smiles and then tilts her head thoughtfully and is quiet for a few moments.]

Are you all right? [Looking at the bruising.]

[had_not_lived]

Yeah... [Neil just looks a little sheepish, raising a hand up to touch his own cheek.] I got run over by a unicorn. But, I mean, I'm not hurt badly.

[deadly_legacy]

...You know, I knew one had escaped, but that's still shocking to hear.

Do you have any idea why she did that? Was she scared?

[had_not_lived]

I'm not sure there's anything I could do that'd scare a unicorn.

[deadly_legacy]

Oh, no, of course. I'm sure you wouldn't have done something. I thought maybe just in general being out of the zoo.

[had_not_lived]

Who knows. [He smiles rather weakly.]
