I lost myself in fiction, and found myself in Fillory. [RP | MC | #Magicians] #K

@DesignedDeity Burgers, huh? {{She was desperate too. That was a little worrisome from @DesignedDeity, but if she needed this too I could be a little more helpful.}} I'm always down for a good burger. Or we could just a start with a walk through the park. That's pretty outdoorsie.

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@DesignedDeity -- comic book store that just opened over on Cherry St.

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@DesignedDeity We could always wait until tonight.... hit the club. {{As if that would EVER happen, but damn it was bright outside. When did the sun get so angry?!}}

We could go to the library. {{I totally wasn't joking and @DesignedDeity knew it.}} Or the book store. I hear there's a new --

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@DesignedDeity -- wanted to help and that help was truly appreciated, even if I sucked at showing it normally.}}

Something tells me you don't mind a little blood on your hands though... so I'm all yours.

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@DesignedDeity I do. Fillory. Pretty sure if I don't read that, then their world doesn't exist. They depend on me, Julia. Do you want me to responsible for all that death? {{I couldn't help the lip twitch, though I did stop the full blown smile that had threatened escape. @DesignedDeity just --

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@DesignedDeity -- book with a long suffering sigh, I sloooowly let @DesignedDeity pull me along.}}

Not nearly long enough if you must know. I was barely halfway through that. {{My gaze lingering just a moment on my lost escape.}} Where exactly are you taking me?

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@DesignedDeity {{I knew @DesignedDeity wouldn't allow me to just hide in my room any longer, so there was no point in struggling. Besides, I knew it would do me some good to get up and at least move around a little. Didn't mean I couldn't at least pretend to be put upon.

Setting aside my --

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@DesignedDeity -- since I had an audience. I started when I noticed @DesignedDeity sitting there.... staring.}}

Jesus, Julia! You could at least knock. {{Running a nervous hand through a messy head of hair, I try to not look like I had been brooding.}} How long have you been there?

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@DesignedDeity {{Escapism in all its forms is still addiction. Just because my solace was found through a book didn't make it any less pathetic, I was still running. Still hiding.

Such thoughts tended to disrupt the illusion created by the written word. Which was for the best apparently --

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@BitterAndBrainy No. No judgement here. [The hint of a smile playing at my lips as I close my book.] I just thought those meetings were really starting to help.

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@BitterAndBrainy [I couldn't help but look up at that.] Seriously? We had five pounds of it like two days ago.

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@DesignedDeity [I don't even have time to secure my book...I hope she didn't damage the binding.] Most people knock before bursting in on someone.

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@DesignedDeity [Isn't Penny, can't read minds, so just continues to sulk in my room.]

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@DesignedDeity No. [I knew how useless that word was. @DesignedDeity had decided I was spending too much time alone with my thoughts and nothing short of suddenly falling unconscious was going to save me here... so with a reluctant sigh I just go with it.] Maybe that just means I should though.

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@QuestOfConcept -- that.]

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@QuestOfConcept [With a heavy sigh, I accept the drink. Not too quickly though, lest he see through the somber charade and glimpse the relief beneath; the last thing I wanted was another boring, lonely night at home.] Thank you. [Raising the glass in salute, I take a deep drink. God I needed --

[Quentin Coldwater @SulkySorcerer]

@DesignedDeity Do I have a choice? [A quizzical gaze traveling between her cute little button features, and the site of our joining.]
