"It's not like we live far," Parker replied, switching back to his seat behind the wheel. He was rotating his wrist while holding it with the other hand as he spoke, realizing dropping a bass drum on your hand hurts a little more when you're sober. "Besides, we were already packed up when Søren texted." The van roared back to life with a turn of the key as Parker shifted Jill out of her location and toward their waiting band-mate.

---

As they approached Revelation, Parker wanted to ask Søren if he planned on helping pack in the drums, but dropped his head before bothering to ask. He couldn't wait until they had secondary bass guitars, mini-amps, and other equipment for Søren's performances so Parker could at least enjoy watching him do a little more than haul around his stringed girlfriend.

A few short honks from Jill signaled their arrival to the vocalist, who seemed to have just stepped out of the doors. With a confused look at Matt through the windshield, or rather the presence of him, Parker quickly checked his phone to make sure they weren't late, but found instead that Matt was simply early. Getting out, he kept his eyebrow cocked as he stared at their vocalist. "Aren't you usually here late? D'you sleep here or something?" Parker teased him with a crooked grin. He was very fond of Matt and always found it it a pity that they didn't spend much time together. I guess that was apparent after Parker accidentally hunted his talent for song long, though.

After a more formal greeting, the drummer opened the back of the van to get the drum set. It occurred to him a moment later that he was probably also doing so for Lucy's sake, but he tried his best to ignore that as he hauled one of his basses over shoulder and stared at Søren. "Anytime, you know," he joked in futility as he walked toward the studio. With his wrist still aching, he did his best to clumsily move a dose of Roxys he had in his left pocket to his mouth with his back to the group. He had a good thirty minutes of sobriety before he'd be risking any mood changes, and it took more than a couple of these to damage his faculties anyway. He convinced himself it was better he avoided all chances of withdrawal during such an important practice, but he wasn't so sure he even believed that as he entered the studio room that Matt had apparently already done most of the preparations for. With a cheerful grin, Parker backtracked toward the van to continue helping.

And then, Matt was alone forever in the parking lot. XD

I'll just make Justice two-part his message if he wants apart of this conversation, 'cause I'm tired of excluding Matt.

Nah, you didn't mess anything up! Actually, he could either:

Follow using scent,
Finding her using the proximity trips I mentioned earlier, also possibly trapping her,
or not having been asleep.... although that one might be harder because she teleported. xD

Kinda leaving that up to you, 'cause you can decide which would situation be easiest for you to continue RPing in.

Chasing the Sky

Nah, it's okay. I'll just pill myself out for the night. I like your post by the way. ^-^ Is it okay if, for the sake of them meeting again, he tracks her using the scent of the cloak since he spent so much time with it? I just have no idea how far she went away so I have no other ideas. .___.

Chasing the Sky

Well, actually, I chose to extend my song a bit, but I got a few lines in and my friend Laura (who I thought had been asleep for almost four hours but was actually just kinda drunk) started texting me again and then we hit a depressing topic and now I'm too sad to write. XD However, I'm going to read your post now, and I'm sure it's absolutely fantastic. ^-^

If you couldn't guess, RWBY would be the center of it. But that's only because about two months ago I got a fantastic short-story idea for RWBY, though mundane. Then after that, Josh, Justice, and I came up with some interesting conversations about who would win in contests of combat, wit, etcetera between characters from the RWBYverse and from A:TLA. That lead to more and more things and well... now I'm pretty much full on possible ideas for fan fiction that I never intended to come up with. XD

Although, I did come up with a fiction story that has nothing to do with any fandom awhile back that, if it turns out good enough, my friend who is a film major wants to turn into a movie project. I don't want to start writing that one yet, because I'm afraid I'll ruin it and never want to touch it again. ><

I used to have to wear glasses for driving at night, but after chemo it just made my vision worse when I put them on. Chemo is one fucked up substance. Sigh...

Anyway, none of my RPs are moving forward, so I think I'm going to either work on writing my first story in a long time, or my first song in an ever LONGER time. Unfortunately for me (and the nerd community), most my current story ideas are related to fan fiction... which is also new to me. Maybe I'll start with one that isn't... xD

Chasing the Sky

I'd say you do too. And also, good, don't ever randomly start being an old dude. XD

Chasing the Sky

You're awfully wise for someone who isn't an old man.

....you're not, right? I've called you hot like three times and i may be into dudes, but I'm not into old dudes. XD

Chasing the Sky

Sigh, no, no it did not. Again, though, my own fault.
