Midafternoon in the Park

Becky is wandering through town, her mind on other things.

She had been out running errands for herself and Miho, thought why Miho needed a jar of peanut butter and brownie mix, she doesn't know.

She really doesn't care, though.

Figuring a little time outside that damned stuffy shop, Geoff heads off for a short walk. Seeing Becky, he scowls to himself and hunches his shoulders, hands thrust into his pockets.

BEcky spots Geoff, and grins.

"Hey, Geoff. How're you doing?"

"Becky." He stops walking. "Never better," he says dryly. "How are you? Business going well?"

His tone is surly, almost bitter, and he glares at her when he speaks.

Becky stops in her tracks at his tone and glare, and tilts her head, arching a brow curiously.

"It's fine. Is something wrong?"

"Why would anything be wrong, Becky?" Geoff stares off down the street for a moment.

"Did you at least like them? Or did you just give them to Miho, or one of your...customers?"

Becky frowns in confusion, and then her eyes light in realization.

"The flowers. They were beautiful, Geoff. I can't believe I forgot to call you. And...yes, of course I liked them, and no I didn't give them away." She takes a step closer, crossing her arms across her stomach. "I...forgot to call. And I'm sorry for that."

"No, Becky, it's all right. You're a busy woman. There's really no reason I should expect to hear from you, is there?" He cocks his head. "Should I come make an appointment next time I want to see you?"

[ooc: This is so hard, because she hasn't even done anything for him to get mad about! *glares at mean-Geoff*]

Becky's eyes narrow. "No, Geoff. And...that's a low blow and you know it."

[ooc: I know. Poor Becky. Poor mean-Geoff. Poor everyone!]

Geoff glowers at Becky. "Is it. Just checking. Since, oh I don't know, maybe it wouldn't have hurt you to call me. For a change. Instead of waiting for me to come running after you." He looks away again. "I really don't have time for this, Becky. I have things to do."

[ooc: *hugs Becky and smacks Geoff*]

"You what?" Becky snaps. "What kind of bullshit are you trying to pull here, Geoff? You're mad at me out of nowhere, and now you have 'things to do'?" She shakes her head at him, her lips drawn into a thin line. "And to think I thought you were different. I should've known better. You're exactly like everyone else."

"Most likely, Becky. I'm not sure what you thought I was when you met me, unless it was an easy touch. But don't worry -- there won't be any more deliveries, so you won't have to trouble yourself trying to remember who sent them."

He turns on his heel and stalks off down the street.

[ooc: Oh, burn. What's wrong with him, exactly? Is he just in a bad mood, or is there magic or something afoot? And just so you get a head's up - Becky is mad and confused and likely to do something horrible to hurt him (emotionally). Just FYI. (But she won't turn evil. :) )]

[ooc: He got hit with a Crowley-whammy. It'll wear off by the end of the day, and then he'll really hate himself. And yeah, I do expect there'll be major ramifications. He'll be a long time trying to patch of all of the damage.]

[ooc: Poor, poor Geoff. He's just going to have everyone mad at him after this, isn't he? And Becky's 'revenge' as it were...would be taking place next week. This actually, oddly enough, ties nicely into another plot. Yay crossovers!

In any case, Beck's going to deliberately avoid him, and if he tries to apologize, she's not going to listen. It's the whole opening herself up and getting betrayed thing. But she'll realize what an idiot she is, and come back. And then it'll be his turn to figure out whether he wants to forgive her, etc.

Due to recent events, I've become rabid about forwarning people of upcoming plots. I think it shows. :)]

[ooc: That all sounds cool. I'll be out of town Friday night - Sunday afternoon, but otherwise completely there with playing it however you need. :)]

[ooc: Need to go into SP for a bit, be back later]

[ooc: And now I'm off to get a flu shot/haircut. Should be back...oh, 5 EST at the latest.]
