「 REMEMBER YOUR APPOINTMENT」

[drawback]

[ It looks like you have an appointment and you have been brought in from the waiting room. There is a chair for your to lounge on--

Wait, are you seeing a shrink? Can't be! You're generally sane... Right?

Right...? ]

The doctor will be right with you. For now, I'll just conduct a general evaluation. Mind if I ask you questions?

Comments

[drawback]

You're into that kind of stuff? [ He raises his eyebrows. Sure, Cameron enjoys watching scary things, too...

But actually going to a place gives him a chill. Still, he isn't judging. Just a little unsure. ]

[outgambit]

I'd like to see if it would live up to my expectations~

[ Granted, they're not so high. ]

I also think it's a safe alternative to the other things there.

[drawback]

I think it's safer to get wasted than to wander in that mansion, Mister Baek... [ He's just saying it like a fact, but it really is only an opinion. The tour itself is safe--

But aside from that.

If there's no guide... ]

But if you want, we can check if there are any spots left for the tours for today.

[outgambit]

[ Now that Cameron says that, he's even more interested in the haunted house now. ]

Sure, but why do you say that it's safer to get drunk? Are you saying that the place is really haunted?

[ ........... he also knows celsus




this is probably why it doesn't affect him as much ]

[drawback]

I'm not sure how to put it in words... [ It's by instinct. You know like animals can just sense those things. Also don't get STDs beyond the grave. ]

If we stop by the bar, the bartender should be able to tell you more while we get something to eat. [ And the bus stops at a rustling and bustling district called Gaslamp in red lights on the overhead arch. The passengers in the bus slowly disperse out and it's pretty lively outside. ]

[outgambit]

[ Seungmin steps out of the bus and looks over at the sight before him. ]

It really is quite the popular night life here. So you want to eat at the bar?

[drawback]

I guess it's more like a diner with a bar. There's other places to eat here though if you have a craving for something.

[ He'll motion over to the sidewalk since it's easier to walk along here than the streets filled with people dancing to loud party music. ]

[outgambit]

I'm up for a drink either way. [ Even if Cameron's a minor, he doesn't really seem to care about that anyway. ]

[drawback]

I hope you brought your ID. [ He'll take him to this quaint little diner with wispy purple lights. Looks like a lot of people are eating and having a fun time at the bar end. ]

I heard the breakfasts here are great for hangovers and are served 24/7. [ Not that he would know. it's okay, Seungmin. He'll be the responsible one. ] Guess that doesn't make it breakfast, huh.

[outgambit]

Hm? But I heard that hangovers could only be cured with time and nothing else. [ He tries to imagine a separate station just to bare hangovers and it makes him laugh a little. ]

I won't be getting drunk. You have my guarantee.

[drawback]

I'm only mentioning that it's quite the favorite meal, Mister Baek. Not that I expect you to get drunk.

There's a difference in patience among people, I think. [ And they get seated by a cute waitress who obviously greets Cameron before leaving menus for the both of them. Luckily there were two seats at the open bar. ]

What will you be having?

[outgambit]

The third sandwich listed. [ He skims over the menu. ] And the fourth wine.

[ He likes trying out different stuff okok ]

And yes, I have my ID.

[drawback]

I'll have the Breakfast at Tiffany's.

[ The waitress asks for Seungmin's ID and eyes Cameron before wagging her finger at him in a be a good boy. Kind of way. Once she sees it, she'll be going. ]

[outgambit]

[ As expected, he shows her his ID after getting it out of his pocket. ]

Everyone knows you. Is this normal or are you just popular around here?

[drawback]

Well, I do live here. [ He thinks that it's normal...

For this town, but he doesn't comment on that. Either way, an answer is an answer. ]

[outgambit]

By that logic, majority of the people back where I usually frequent would also know me.

[ He smiles at Cameron and puts his ID back where it belongs. ]

And they don't.

[drawback]

This town is pretty close-knit? [ He shrugs as he looks through the dessert menu. ]

Since it's small, it isn't that hard to know everyone.

[outgambit]

Population under 300? [ A place where everybody knew everyone... he feels like he can understand just a little. ]

[drawback]

About so. I'm not sure. [ He doesn't keep track of how many people are there!! ]

There have been a lot of people moving in recently, too. Do you live a big city?

[outgambit]

Mn, yes. I like the idea of being in bigger cities.

[ Because he can fade in and out whenever he wants. ]

[drawback]

Is it more exciting? [ He chuckles a bit... He thinks this town is pretty big? But he doesn't really mention it. It would be creepy otherwise, right? ]

When I lived elsewhere, it really was different.

[outgambit]

How so? I imagine the environmental changes are one thing and the people could be... less friendly.

[ As in the "everyone knows you" kind of thing. ]

1/2

[drawback]

I guess it felt really big. [ no shit. He's trying to summarize his experience, but the more he thinks on it, the more baseless his opinion seems.

What is different between the two places? ]

I'm not really sure how to explain it...

[astringents]

I heard you were the one that ordered this wine? [ He'll place a fancy glass before pouring it for Seungmin.

OF COURSE HE KNOWS CAMERON ISN'T LEGAL, so there is only one glass. There you go. ] Please enjoy.

[outgambit]

[ Oh. Hello there. He smiles at Amber after he pours the wine into the glass and Seungmin takes a sip. It tastes like any other wine, but it's nice to have this familiarity. ] Thanks.

[ He looks over at Cameron now to address him. ]

You seem to have many things where you're not sure how to explain things. Is it an instinct? A certain feel?
