April Catch All with Derek Matthews [OPEN]

[blondferret]

WHO: Derek and YOU!
WHERE: Varius Places around Recolle
WHEN: Varius times throughout April
WHAT: Derek is really busy in April
WARNINGS: Possible large amounts of alcohol consumption

April is a fairly busy month for Derek, he is trying to remember when he had this much of a social life.

I.A. Riding the Nimbus 2001 OTA

Even with being more social than normal, Derek still finds time to take his Nimbus 2001 out for a ride, usually at night. He can be found flying over the city. You can try to call out to him or if you have the mean, why don't you join him? Or challenge him to a race?

I.B. Taking a break OTA

Or perhaps you have caught him during a break and he is sitting on the roof of a building and you just happen to look up and see his feet dangling on the side. If you ask him what he is doing up there, he will gladly take the chance to show off his Nimbus 2001.

II. A. Run into Derek at a Bar OTA

Derek is no stranger to drinking. Retrospec still stresses him out, thus the occasional drink is in order. Besides, if it's after the 9th, he's recently found out his sister, Amanda, isn't on the app anymore, meaning she has "been reset." Derek does not take it well at all. Not as bad when his ex dumped him right after Christmas and move half way across the country, but bad enough that he will probably be visiting a bar at least every other night for the rest of the month. No promises that he will be in a good mood when you talk to him.

II. B. Run into Derek at Expressive OTA

On the nights that he is not drinking, he is at Expressive drinking some Earl Grey. With all the drinking he is doing at bars this month, at Jirou and Kenta's engagement party, and Alex's birthday party, he has to have some sort of control over his alcohol consumption. God knows he needs to drink a bit less. So, feel free to join him wit your own coffee or tea.

Comments

[That sure is a story. Hux downs most of his glass by the time Derek finishes and it's taking him a while to have a proper response to all this nonsense.]

So, you almost died in your first memory. That must be setting some new record here.

[He's not the greatest at this empathy thing.]

[blondferret]

So people actually die in their first memory.

[Derek follows this with a casual sip of his drink.]

[huxceptional]

Rejoice, then. Some people have shittier luck than you.

[Guess that puts him at having rather good luck then. That's a first. Hux supposes that he can't really complain.]

[blondferret]

[Derek shrugs and takes a sip of his drink.]

I don't believe myself to be particularly lucky, or luck in general. I've lost count of how many near death experiences I've been in due to the app. I'm sure you'll have them yourself.

[huxceptional]

If you've had multiple near death experiences without actually dying, I'd count that as some amount of luck.

[Of course, being involved in almost dying is not great to begin with, but.]

A near death experience seems to be Retrospec's version of hazing.

[blondferret]

[Derek chuckles at Hux's last comment before taking a sip of is drink.]

Probably? They sure don't seem to worry about our safety too much.

[huxceptional]

I'd prefer to think they have that much faith in our ability to stay alive.

[But Hux isn't going to bet on that, mostly because of his own cynical view of the world even before joining Retrospec.]

But it's most likely that they don't care about us. Not as individuals.

[blondferret]

I feel like we're in some some weird and twisted game, yet me don't get to know the rules or even the point of the game.
