Fin and John
Jun. 11th, 2020 01:00 amPeople had this idea of the occult. All dark and spooky, like. Or else they thought of crystals and incense and vagina detoxes or what have you. For John it was just shopping.
He'd stopped at the butcher's and picked up pig blood, then went to Tesco for the rest, like candles and a sharpie. Salt. Lots of salt.
He looked down his list and scowled. John raised his head to try to see where he should go, but only saw...the man had been much thinner in the asylum but John was sure it was the same bloke.
"Well enough to shop? You look better without that tube," he said. He had already accepted that if he wasn't the same man then he'd just look like a nutter. Except...he wasn't usually wrong when his gut told him something.

Date: 2020-06-11 06:01 pm (UTC)"Everyone was sick," John replied. Except him. He hadn't been sick, just vaguely pissed off the whole time.
"I'm John," he said as he offered his hand.

Date: 2020-06-11 06:44 pm (UTC)"Nice to meet you, Fin," he said, his voice a bit raw and rough.
"All's well that ends well, right?"

Date: 2020-06-11 07:08 pm (UTC)"While you were there did you know it was wrong?" he asked. "Klaus seemed to think it was too bloody real. Poor bloke."

Date: 2020-06-11 07:16 pm (UTC)"I- Well, I remembered some things, but it was all foggy- Warped, you know?" Fin said, relaxing a bit when the man mentioned Klaus.

Date: 2020-06-11 07:24 pm (UTC)"Yeah, that's what I gathered. There were a few who knew it was bullshit, though," he replied.

no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 07:46 pm (UTC)"Something like that," Fin said, his magic reaching out for the other man, prodding at him a little, trying to work out what he was.

Date: 2020-06-11 08:20 pm (UTC)John shifted his shopping basket from one arm to the other.
"Oi, save that for the second date," he scolded lightly.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 08:51 pm (UTC)Fin drew back, startled when the man noticed.
"You felt that?" he asked.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 09:44 pm (UTC)"Did you think I wouldn't? That how you get your jollies? Little magic lookie-loo on clueless people?" he chuckled. "What are you? You're not a witch."

Date: 2020-06-11 10:25 pm (UTC)"Well, I used to sing in a punk band," he replied with a laugh. "And I might know a thing or two about magic,"
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 10:32 pm (UTC)"That's not an answer," Fin replied.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 10:57 pm (UTC)"No. I suppose it isn't, " he replied.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 11:05 pm (UTC)Fin frowned, taking a step back. He didn't like that the other man wouldn't tell him what he was, it made him uneasy.
"Yes, well, nice meeting you," he said, turning to leave.

Date: 2020-06-11 11:32 pm (UTC)"You're pretty skittish for a fae," he noted.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 11:45 pm (UTC)"You've given me no reason to be calm," Fin countered.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-11 11:50 pm (UTC)John laughed softly.
"You and the rest of the world," he grinned.

Date: 2020-06-12 12:00 am (UTC)Fin frowned, turning to leave again.
no subject
Date: 2020-06-12 02:20 am (UTC)"You friends with the other fae there?" John asked
no subject
Date: 2020-06-12 02:29 am (UTC)"What other fae?" Fin asked, pausing, then frowning. "You mean Will? No, no he isn't a friend."
