recolle | [SEMI-OPEN] And the world gets smaller

WHO: Albert Wesker, whomever decides to join him (presumably you!)
WHERE: A coffee shop in Tisse; one of the squares in town
WHEN: 12/11 – 12/15
WHAT: Meetings with people, both planned and not. One open prompt, one semi-open.
WARNINGS: Discussion of various things that may not be ethical? Nothing graphic, it's just talk.

[I. PLANNED.]

[Those who were in contact with Wesker on the network post that he put out a while back and expressed actual interest in what he's doing will find that he's contacted you at some point during the week; the texts are all requesting a time at some point during the evening, after normal work hours, and they specify a location that's perhaps surprisingly public, given how cagey he tended to be on the post itself. But the coffee shop he's specified is quiet and low-traffic, the sort of place that lends itself well to privacy, and that's where he'll be waiting.

He's well-dressed, as he always is, the black suit is impeccable – though he's still wearing those dark glasses indoors, because apparently he's just like that; he's recognizable from his profile on Retrospec, at the very least. He'll glance over when you enter, but he'll allow you to come to him; as he'd said to a few people, these discussions are going to be one-on-one, there's no one else with him at the moment, and he isn't going to force the matter if anyone decides to simply not show or backs out of the discussion at any point.

After all, they're just there to talk, at least for the time being. Let's see where this goes.]

[II. UNPLANNED.]

[Of course, he's still around even when he's not meeting with people; Christmas shopping is...a thing, given that he still has no idea what he's supposed to get people given that he hasn't celebrated this holiday with anyone in a very long time, but even when he's not busy with that, he can be found in one of the squares throughout town, and he's got a...box with him? For some reason.

...It seems to be a somewhat noisy box that kind of makes little thudding noises like something is bumping against the interior once in a while. Once in a while, there is mild distressed screeching. ...Very melodic mild distressed screeching.

Dear god.

Either way, if the bats are giving you problems, he's going to notice; he'll watch for a while before speaking up, because that's just sort of his way, but eventually he will say something.]

If they're troubling you, I can take them off your hands.

[You know. As one does.]

[III. OTHERWISE.]

[Have something else you want to do? Feel free to PM me or grab me on plurk at

InstantEternity, and I'll see what we can do! Either that or just sling a prompt at me and I'll roll with it, I'm flexible. o/ ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Mm, that's true. She certainly didn't have to and I'm a bit surprised she did. It was nice, though!

I wasn't expecting to be invited, either, but it was appreciated, certainly.

[...]

I'm likely going to invite her out with me sometime soon. Just for the sake of it.

[...i mean that and she implied that he doesn't know how to have fun and he's a competitive shit

he will have fun if it kills him]

[it may actually kill you, rest in pieces.]

You'll have to tell me how that goes! It sounds fun!

Of course.

[You know what, as long as it doesn't trouble you that sometimes he just goes out with people like that, then it's fine and he's going to...

...Still probably not do it a lot, but he's trying.]

I've also been...trying to attend those gatherings that I was told about a while ago. Regarding fighting and what have you.

[Of course he doesn't mind, go have fun sometimes, Wesker!!]

Oh yes, how are those going?

...I'm not sure yet.

[He just kind of. wallflowers. a lot. He finds the whole thing sorta awkward?]

Well, I'm sure you'll enjoy them in time!

[You can do more than wallflower, you know!!]

[...Well, yes...]

Perhaps.

[...]

I do plan on continuing to attend, at any rate.

[So at least there's that?]

It sounds like fun, maybe I'll drop by someday!

[It's good for Wesker to have a hobby though, so please do pursue this, alright.]

It seems like something you would like, at any rate.

[...He's. Trying? Social hobbies are not really his thing but he's putting forth an effort.]

It probably is! I'll have to look into it!

[You can do it, Wesker!! He totally has faith in you!!]

[...You are totally not going to do this until he's worked himself out on his own, are you.]

I'm interested in going to the shooting range at some point as well, for the sake of practice... I do have to wonder if we've been forgiven for the end of July.

[HE DID...RETURN...THE GUNS...EVENTUALLY...]

[WELL AT LEAST YOU RETURNED THEM...]

Good question! That does sound fun, though! I'm going to have to learn how to shoot a rifle at some point and practicing on something smaller than my usual weapon is probably the best way to go about that.

[seriously it's six and a half feet of gun, how does he even use that thing.]

...I'd say so, yes.

[YOU ARE GOING TO DISLOCATE YOUR SHOULDER.]

[HE WILL DIE.]

I look forward to being able to properly use it someday! Not that I want there to be anything to use it on, mind you!

I don't know about that - you seemed to enjoy yourself during summer.

Well, that's true. I did have a lot of fun fighting monsters...

...Hopefully we'll both be better shots if it ever happens again.

[LIKE, IT WAS FUN BUT KIND OF A TRAVESTY? he nearly shot shuji in the face]

[thank you for not actually shooting shuji in the face!!]

Ja, that's what I'm hoping for too! Though I suppose we should be thankful that nothing on that scale has happened since.

[He's only a tiiiiny bit disappointed that there haven't been any more monsters. Really.]

[...look, he wasn't trying to shoot shuji in the face, he just nat-1'd on a giant bat, nbd]

Outside of dreams, at any rate.

[October was. Yeah.]

...Yes, but that was different.

[There wasn't anything enjoyable about that fight. It might have been just a dream, but it felt just as terrifying as the jungle temple.]

Do you still have that nightmare often?

[...You know, it's probably a good sign that he has to think about it?]

I had it once recently, but I believe that's reasonable, given the memories I was telling you about recently. Outside of that, however, it's been quite some time.

[That gets Jaeger to brighten immediately.]

That's wonderful! I'm really glad to hear that. It really was a dreadful nightmare, after all.

[...]

It hasn't been as terrible, the last few times. At least, not from what I recall.

[So, you know. It hasn't been completely unwinnable.]

That's also good news! I really am glad to hear it, Albert.
