( His eyes widen at that and his expression slowly shifts to one of amusement. )

Yer jokin'... their ain't no way...

( He wants to touch the ears. )

⠀
Pfft, thas all? 'Spose I get it... ya ain't the easiest fella t'get along wiv most'a the time but like... I think it's cause'a all the discrepancies between you old folks and us up and comin' hotshots.

You'll all be retirin' soon at this rate.

( A joke, obviously. )

[𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 ♚ 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒。 @H0THANDED]

( The roof itself is probably not what was expected. It's filled with all manner of flowerbeds, a few trees here and there and lights strung up around the edges. Seems there's some works in progress over to the side.

Phoenix himself, leans on railing beside Chamber. )

[chamber ⟴ @ofbrokenforce]

( α. )
( Chamber nodded. It was private. Definitely a good place to think, if no one else came up there. He stepped out of the elevator first and held the door open for Phoenix. )

So curious, hm? Well. You’re one of the few who have actually gone out and befriended >>

[𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 ♚ 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒。 @H0THANDED]

⠀
You're matchin' with me! C'monnn, ya know ya wanna!
⠀

[𝐇𝐈𝐆𝐇 ♛ 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒 . @veinedgold]

⠀⠀⠀
   i do not 'dress up' for halloween .
⠀⠀

[𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 ♚ 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒。 @H0THANDED]

⠀
I mean, it ain't anything special but... you know, no one really goes up to the roof so it's like, mad private, yeah?

( Why is he trying to explain that? )

So......... what else ya gotta say about me then?

( A sidewards glance, curiosity killed the Phoenix? )
⠀

[chamber ⟴ @ofbrokenforce]

( α. )
( he smirked right back and reached out to press the button for the top floor. )

All right. Excited to see what this is all about.

[𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 ♚ 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒。 @H0THANDED]

Callin' 'em Omega Earth was my idea cause WE'S THE ALPHAS!!! 🐺 🐺 🐺 🐺 💯 💯 🔥 🔥 🔥
⠀

[𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 ♚ 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒。 @H0THANDED]

⠀
@veinedgold , you figure out what you wanna dress up as for Halloween yet? 👀
⠀

[𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 ♚ 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒。 @H0THANDED]

⠀
( He'd offer up only the cheekiest of smirks as the elevator is called. It's quick, something he's really glad for in the base. )

That's what I like t'hear. Right, we're goin' all the way up! To the top!
⠀

[chamber ⟴ @ofbrokenforce]

( α. )
( chamber chuckled at that and stepped into the elevator after him. )

I asked for secrecy and now you doubt I would keep a secret? ( he crossed his arms. ) this place is safe between us. And KAY/O.

[𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 ♚ 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒。 @H0THANDED]

⠀
Maximum comfy. Hold on, lemme try it on.

( Off comes his jacket as he turns his attention back to the shirt given to him. He sets it on the back of a chair and holds his hand out. )

Love these kinda shirts, always a right laugh.

[𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 ♚ 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒。 @H0THANDED]

⠀
Nah, you already look good, 'sides, it ain't off base or nothin' like that.

( Phoenix, with smile on his face, would lead the other away towards a pair of elevators. )

This is just between me and you, yeah? Don't go blabbin' about it.
⠀

[chamber ⟴ @ofbrokenforce]

( α. )
( He smiled at that and nodded. )

Well. Tell me this secret place and we can go over there. Do I need to get dressed?

[𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 ♚ 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒。 @H0THANDED]

⠀
( Thinking on it, he didn't ever really think about why he was the ONLY one comfortable enough to do it. Maybe it's just him though. )

Ya know, what kinda jimjams d'you even wear? Like... you a shirt and boxers kinda guy?

[𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 ♚ 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒。 @H0THANDED]

⠀
( He turns his gaze upward, staring at a light fixture for a minute and then looks around, as if to see if anyone is around. )

... I know a good spot, only other person who knows about it is KAY/O. Least, that's what he told me.
⠀

[chamber ⟴ @ofbrokenforce]

( α. )
( he cracked a small smile at that and gave Phoenix a nod. )

Nice quiet place. Have anything in mind?

[𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 ♚ 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒。 @H0THANDED]

⠀
Sleepin' well thinkin' of The Boss, obviously. Never really see folks in their PJs ... feel like I'm the only one who walks around base in 'em sometimes.

And how's a fella 'sposed to hear all these things then?

( Tilting his head to the side, brow raised curiously. )

You, me, nice quiet little place, eh?
⠀

[chamber ⟴ @ofbrokenforce]

( α. )
Maybe I don’t mind. But I do like a certain level of privacy, oui.
