Mystery Sign Theater, Sunday

After getting a decent night's sleep at his place, Mitchell was up bright and early to direct the workers around the theater. Between the sleep and last night's visit to the Nest, he was in a reasonable mood, and not nearly as irritable as he often was coming back from Bristol.

"Christ, they got this straight out of a film, didn't they?" he said philosophically to the worker putting up the sign at the front. He was staring at the city in the distance.

The worker just shrugged.

"It feels like a double bill sort of day."

TODAY'S SHOWING:
Hungover 2
Edge Sprinter


Yes, all was well at the theater. For once.

Kate showing up was inevitable, right? Checking up on the theater was a habit.

Checking up on the manager even moreso. "Long time no see, Mitchell."

"Kate!" Mitchell said, sitting up. "Sorry. How was your-- funeral."

Ow.
vanillajello: (Rolling of the eyes.)

Her answer was a predictably dry drawl. "Sad. Depressing. Kind of unnecessary too, since Nathan is apparently immortal."

So, yeah.

"...What?"

So, yeah, indeed.
vanillajello: (Tired of crap.)

"Yeah," she sighed, flopping down into a chair. "He showed up this Monday, entirely... as he was."
chosehumanity: (mitchell: cooler'n you)

"...And do we have any idea what he is, then?" Mitchell asked. "Because if he's a vampire, that's pushing your record a bit."
vanillajello: (Thinking about it.)

"He's not a vampire, he has a pulse." A beat. "yes, that was my first thought too. It's why I took my knife with me to see him. Apparently he's just immortal."
chosehumanity: (mitchell: smoking yeah?)

"I love how just immortal is a thing now," Mitchell muttered. Dryly.
vanillajello: (My lip does this thing.)

"Yeah, well..." What could you do? SShe shrugged. "Apparently there was a storm or something."

She... hadn't really been listening to much of Nathan's babling, honestly.
chosehumanity: (mitchell: best stories)

Re: Manager's Office

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-05-29 01:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"A storm," Mitchell echoed. "That made him immortal. You're sure he wasn't-- you know, before?"
vanillajello: (God's honest truth.)

"Well if he was, he didn't know it," Kate replied with a shrug. "'Cause seriously, that guy would have been bragging about it."
chosehumanity: (george-mitchell: dorks incorporated)

Re: Manager's Office

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-05-29 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Mitchell just shook his head. "Well, at least he'll be ready whenever someone tries to kill him for it..."
vanillajello: (Try again maybe I'll buy it.)

Re: Manager's Office

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-05-29 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Kate rolled her eyes, then shook her head. "Yeah, can we please not talk about him dying again? Because even if the first time wasn't for good, it made for one of the shittiest weeks of my life."
chosehumanity: (mitchell: older than he looks)

"Sorry I wasn't there for it," he said, after a beat.
vanillajello: (Cynicism personified.)

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-05-29 03:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, thanks," Kate replied, her tone not even approaching sincere. Dry was as good as it got. "Things busy in Bristol?"
chosehumanity: (george-mitchell: leaning on sill)

Re: Manager's Office

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-05-29 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"As busy as it ever is," Mitchell said, evasively.

Look, if in a hundred years he hadn't figured out that one set off alarm bells, he wasn't going to figure it out in two.
vanillajello: (Might be silently judging you.)

"I see." Dry, dry, dry. "Eric tells me you're not planning on doing anything stupid."

Forgive her wanting to emphasize the word 'planning'.
chosehumanity: (mitchell: wait what?)

Re: Manager's Office – NFB please!

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-05-29 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"...Well, I'm not," Mitchell said, shooting her a vaguely offended look. "You went to Eric?"
vanillajello: (Really now.)

Re: Manager's Office – NFB please!

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-05-29 03:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Kate met his vaguely offended look with a fairly neutral eyebrow raise. "Of course I went to the only person I knew might remember something useful."
chosehumanity: (mitchell: darkly determined)

Re: Manager's Office – NFB please!

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-05-30 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
"He doesn't remember anything," Mitchell said, irritably. "There's nothing here you should get involved with, Kate."
vanillajello: (Might be silently judging you.)

Re: Manager's Office – NFB please!

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-05-30 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm not getting involved with anything, Mitchell," Kate replied, keeping her tone even. "I'm just making sure I don't get blindsided again."
chosehumanity: (mitchell: evasive)

Re: Manager's Office – NFB please!

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-05-30 02:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"There's nothing to blindside you with," Mitchell argued. Falsely. "Whatever this future is, I'll figure it out."
vanillajello: (Talking to Ben.)

Re: Manager's Office – NFB please!

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-05-30 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It was Kate's turn to look vaguely sort of offended. "Whenever you start vanishing off to Bristol all the time and getting all evasive about what you're doing," she pointed out, "that's usually a prelude to me getting blindsided."
chosehumanity: (mitchell: long live the king)

Re: Manager's Office – NFB please!

[personal profile] chosehumanity 2011-05-30 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"It's nothing like that," Mitchell said, "I've just been... clearing up the mess Herrick left behind."
vanillajello: (Cynicism personified.)

Re: Manager's Office – NFB please!

[personal profile] vanillajello 2011-05-30 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"I see," Kate replied, though no, she didn't, really. "And how's that been going?"
