laytondressing | Campaigning the lazy way...

[Descole is sitting on a couch in the lobby. He's not looking like himself at all. He's not wearing his usual suit, he's wearing black slacks and a slightly ruffled tight fitting white shirt, no muffler. His hair is wet, like he'd just gotten out of the shower, and he's not wearing a hat to cover half his face. Just his mask. Mask always stays on.]

[Sitting cross-legged, staring at the piano across the way, he wonders how he's going to pull off a campaign and how much he misses Raymond. He also wonders if he should wander over there and play music, but in fear of bothering people, he decides not too. While not feeling very evil, or much like building anything lately, he's decided, he's pretty neutral. Until some one pisses him off, but that hasn't happened yet.]

[Surely, he knows he's not acting like himself, and being lonely is kind of terrible. Being in a sound mental state, he wouldn't mind being bothered. Also he knows if he's going to campaign he needs to make friends. That's new...]

No I understand where you're coming from. I'm sorry you can't be in peace about it.

You two really are good though.

Hopefully I'll get better with it as time goes on... thank you, though.

You're very welcome.

[He licks his lips and shifts his legs again, so his body is towards Clive.]

Why don't you trust him?

It's not that I don't trust him, really, it's that I don't trust myself not to mess things up. And there's just things like... I freak myself out worrying about things like that, about what I'm doing to his world's timeline, even when there's nothing I'd be able to do about it. I feel like I'd leave someone who was so neurotic over stupid things like that, so I guess I'm worried he'll be the same.

Yes, but Hershel doesn't lie. If he wants to take his time with you, he'll do whatever he can in his power to make it work. He does that. At least my Hershel has all his life. You two will be fine.

...yeah.

...thank you for this. Honestly. I mean... it's good to hear something like that from someone who knew him personally, you know? I followed him around, but up until about six months ago I'd never really met him or spent time with him. Not properly, anyway.

You're very welcome. I know you needed to hear it. So, anymore questions?

Hmm... not really. Is there anything you'd like to ask me?

[Descole shakes his head with a smile. Then pauses.]

Do *you* know why I've been so nice to everyone here? Because I really want to know...

...and I was supposed to meet my roommate back here about an hour ago, where the hell is he? He was supposed to get me coffee.

I don't know... both of them are probably the work of this place. Do you want to go look for him? I won't be offended if you go.

I'm not going to lie, I don't really want to go. That man drains all the energy out of me that he can, and I rather like relaxing for once...it doesn't happen often.

Well, I certainly don't mind you staying, if that's what you'd rather do. You can still ask me any other questions you've got, too.

Um, alright. I don't want to bother you, I realize I'm not the best company.

You're perfectly good company, really. I mean... I don't know. There's my doubles, but half of them hang around that Layton, Mother... isn't around very much, and I love spending time with Hershel but I don't want to spend time with only him. And you're good company anyway. Honestly.

Well thank you. You're sweet Clive. And...and fuck this place. I just said thank you to Professor Layton boyfriend.

[And here, he's grinning still.]

[Clive laughs.]

Well, if it helps any, he isn't a professor yet.

[ Descole laughs back.]

Good point, hey could you asl him about me, next time you're with him? Tell me if he's still afraid of me? Ha!

Sure, why not? Though I'd have thought you'd want to make sure he's not afraid of you, considering this election.

Heh, oh that might be a better way of looking at it...

...ugh, I guess if I'm going to run, I'm going to have to stop screwing with people.

Really? Because I'm pretty sure that's half of what the monocled Layton's campaign is.

Touche, my friend, touche.

Well, what am I going to do...hmm.
