recolle | [OPEN]

WHO: Aleksi and OPEN
WHERE: Around Recollé
WHEN: End of February/Beginning of March
WHAT: Catch-all!
WARNINGS: N/a

NIGHTCLUB - A

[The club is dim, the music loud and Aleksi's sitting at the bar with a drink. If he's enjoying the music, well. He sure is going through shots like they're water. Still he looks at the person sitting next to him with a smile and raises his glass, smile on his face—]

Enjoying yourself?

NIGHTCLUB - B

[The alley behind the club is one of those single light harshly coloring everything a washed out white and making the shadows darker than the Mariana Trench types. Which is great for how it keeps Aleksi and the two blatant thugs he's fighting with fairly obscured.

Except for the part where their quiet scuffle makes it easier for bystanders to stumble right on top of them. Step out for a breath of air at the wrong time? Or maybe you saw the two coerce Aleksi outside and realized trouble was afoot. Whatever the reason here's hoping you can hold your own in a fight, stranger.]

THE PARK

[Sitting in the park sipping coffee is nice. One of those things right out of a Hollywood movie where people don't have real jobs and all the free time in the world. Which is kind of Aleksi's current situation right now, hunh. So this is what it feels like to be in a Silver Screen world... Except for maybe the pigeons. They're everywhere around him. On the ground at his feet, the tree behind him, the back of the bench, hell sitting on the bench right next to him...

He's just going to keep still, keep drinking his coffee and hope this doesn't end in bird bombardment.]

ICE RINK - CLOSED TO YURI

Don't let your knees wobble.

[Aleksi watches Yuri skate. It's the sort of thing they work on when there's no one at the rink. Gotta fill the hours somehow. It's not particularly thrilling, but Aleksi supposes it's better than sitting down with a book while he waits for his next student.]

For someone who works at an ice rink I would have thought you'd be better. How often did you skate before you started here?

[The friendly laugh in his voice and the amused grin on his face soften the words at least...? But yeah bro, dafuq's up with that form.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Aleksi watches, Yuri's confidence spike obvious in the way he carries himself and as he moves into more difficult movements. ...The kid's a pretty good natural, isn't he. Shame he's all about dancing. As Yuri glides by Aleksi raises his hands and&mash;

Claps.]

It looks like you can get somewhere if you put your mind to it after all. Imagine. [But he does smile.] Now just tell the owner you're still struggling for the next three weeks unless you want to be wearing the mascot outfit at the hockey games.

( Yuri immediately brings himself to a stop, stumbles, feet sliding out from under him as he relaxes into a fall on the ice. Pushing himself up, he shoots Aleksi a look somewhere between irritated and tentatively believing. )

They wouldn't!

( "we have a hockey team" he almost asks; honestly, he'd forgotten. he's on his knees, throwing his arms out to his sides as he gets back up on his feet with relatively little fanfare. )

I don't have time for sh— stuff like that.

[Aleksi watches Yuri fall down. Maybe he should have waited until they were off the ice for the reveal...?]

Hate he ice that much, do you.

[...Yuri says to a guy who's livelihood is ice skating. He's just messing, but hey where there's an opening—]

I'm a dancer, not a skater.

( He grinds out, dusting off his legs like it does much more than get the thin veneer of iceshards off him. )

I just work here.

( This is clearly why he can toss his head and... frown, still hearing his music, feeling that intensive urge to move, and kick the ice. )

Isn't it time for the Zamboni anyway?
