Read This And Save A Life - YOUR OWN

Um...? What's happening, my dude?

*The man stops mid letter on the page, looking up and around in confusion. The announcement speaker kicks on, and a voice announces that it will be a while more before they are at their destination. He looks down and continues to type, a crease on his forehead and work tiredness creeping a bit onto his face.*

*the kitten sat at his feet* mew mew mew mew mew mew mew

°He set his phone down, clicking the screen off. First sent, second saved.°

°..What is it little guy? Hungry? He gives Jim's pulse another check- still going- before pulling himself up and heading towards the kitchen. There's probably a little more burger left..°

*Knocks on the door, a bunch of stuff in hand* CJ?

°*there's the sounds of several locks being undone before the door opens. He's there, and looking more than a little exhausted* Doc? Yeah come in he is in the living room- *he moves to leave a clear path, walking over to the matress on the floor*°

It’s going to be okay. Today may be the worst day of your life - but tomorrow won’t be. Life is a series of ups and downs, and that means there’s going to be good and bad. Drink some water, let yourself cry if you need to, and get a good night’s sleep. You’ll feel better in the morning. 

°Maybe CJ was starting to relax a little, maybe, as he sat here with a cat that was full of secrets and in a house with too many lights on, maybe he didn't feel as bad as he had at first. Maybe, slowly, he was convincing himself that traffic was bad and that RJ was a by-the-rules guy when it came to driving.°

°But somewhere he knew his brother would have texted at a red light, or if things were at a standstill he would have said something. Recent events might have drained his usual energy to a degree, but he knew his brother. He would have said something, right? Jim would be ok. He would be. And they were going to watch something soft when he got home, after cat stuff set up was done. There would be popcorn again and even if he couldn't use his telescope it would be just like their usual movie nights.°

°That reminds him, it's the last full moon of the 2010s tonight, maybe they could see it together, just briefly, before going back inside. Could show the cat too. It sounded nice to him, he just wished RJ would say something..°

°I think we just bought some vanilla, Jim?°

"Yeah I think so-"

*There's the sound of a freezer being opened.*

"-yeah it's vanilla. That ok with you Mike?"

"Hiya!"

°Oh- hello there!°

*RJ waves with a hand not occupied by a book.*

"Hi!"

*NJ gives a wave from the kitchen.*

*Fear setting their blood ablaze, RJ notices you first. He starts patting the outsides of CJ's headphones to alert him. The two then change course, running towards the tear. They have no idea what you're saying but they can guess.*

Light spilled softly through the windows, illuminating the house. Books lay abandoned on the coffee table, a computer left opened showed a map of some sort of forest. The room was realatively quiet, but one could hear chatter coming from the kitchen.

RJ had woken up in the mood for cookies, fresh ones at that. With nothing to stop him or an excuse to not make them, he got to work. When NJ had made his way into the kitchen- only to find RJ semi-gently whacking a bag of almonds- his ¶You could have just cut them?¶ was dismissed with a "This is more fun and it still works."

Fair enough, the Newscaster guesses.

He offered to help once he had some coffee, and the two brothers were nearly finished when CJ rolled in, hair still messy but rather pleased. Apparently he'd found a good 'spot' and could sort out almost everything by the evening. NJ had no idea what the Cameraman meant, but the Reporter grinned with a "Thanks Jim!" and CJ joined the other two in rolling out the cookie balls.

The three discussed the usual smalltalk subjects, and although it still felt a little stiff at first, it eventually turned into something less bland, and a little more tension bled away into the rhythm of making cookies and a 'who would win' discussion.

And by 'discussion' it's:

¶Sharktopus is two aquatic animals in one. They would have an even larger advantage in the water, and on an even playing field where size is /not/ a factor, they would win.¶

"I see your point, but hear this- Godzilla is not losing to a science experiment."

°Two words Jim. Atomic Breath.°

*at the mention of food, the kitten wiggled into the room* meow meow meow meow! meow meow meow meow! *he seems happy about food... and how did the cat get in?* meow! :3

"Oh no you're baby- don't worry yeah we got lots! I'm gonna go into the kitchen, Jim could you get the door real quick?"

*he makes a friendly "c'mon" gesture and starts slowly walking diagonally to the kitchen. Still moving but able to see both his brother and the kitten*

°...They've figured out doornobs, Jim. It's too late, the feline uprising is upon us. He goes to close the door anyway, smiling a little when he hears RJ snort behind him. He locks it, all the way. He could have sworn RJ had done the same- but maybe the night was getting to them both.°

°He watches him, tugging on his fingers until they pop. I am going to assume you mean physically. I am not injured, just tired if anything...°

*Knocks on the door, a bunch of stuff in hand* CJ?

°*there’s the sounds of several locks being undone before the door opens. He’s there, and looking more than a little exhausted* Doc? Yeah come in he is in the living room- *he moves to leave a clear path, walking over to the matress on the floor*°
