[sizetwelve]

Did you see this?

[infomodder]

[There's a pause long enough that it's reasonable to assume Mary was the one who alerted him to the existence of this.]

I have. [Now, at any rate.] Thank you very much, Mary.

call. Right after that same thing Mary is going on about

[aggressiveapathy]

Don't.

quietly cries

[infomodder]

[Did someone call for his voice to sound lower and more serious than usual? Of course she did.]

I'm not going to. He declined the offer.

[Otherwise he totally would.]

and your gf invited me to thanksgiving dinner [ by gf she means Bader, oh the comic misunderstandings this will ensue ]

action; 11/15

[purgation]

[It was late afternoon by the time Yuri made it to Hook, Line & Tinker, a carryout tray with two steaming beverages in one hand, a small plastic bag full of milk, cream, and sugar in the other. Hopefully, after having decided to pay Will Graham a visit where he worked without any sort of invitation or warning, the man would in fact be there.

Yuri had donned one of his better suits for the occasion: a dark grey ensemble complete with a navy blue button down shirt and a silver necktie embroidered with white paisley. Not only was the outfit comfortable, but it would serve the dual purpose of emphasizing that he was not there to shop.

Stepping through the door, Yuri's eyes wandered almost immediately down the various aisles and then toward the counter where he was expecting to see the man he had come here looking for...]

[infomodder]

[He is, in fact, behind the counter. Very behind it, his stool perched in the corner of the shop where he can look out the front window but being able to spot him relies on where the other party is standing, and very points anyone could look from would make him visible. The stool he's perched on is one that seems close to collapse, his feet resting on it and his entire body hunched over a large, dark folder. No business to be had, Will's doing a little bookkeeping...which seems to not exactly be his forte, if appearance is anything to go by. His REEL WOMEN FISH hat is slanted just enough that one might assume he's been continually scratching his head in frustration or confusion, or both.

All in all, he appears small. Overworked, possibly in a line of work that doesn't suit him very well, and curled into that work despite of it. Sanctuary this place may be, it comes with chores, and he's going to do them as long as it keeps him out of the literal hell his former job can be. The bellringer of Beaver Dam.

He first spots shoes. Nice shoes. A suit. Not for the first time, Will's grateful to be wearing a hat, because even though he knows he's not here, he knows people come back. It's his first thought even when it really should not be. The brim of the hat covers his face as it cycles through that—when he looks up fully, there's something close to a smile on his face. Not what other people might consider a smile, but it's his version of one.

Yuri is not unwelcome here. In fact, if it means Will Graham can stop with these endless aggravating numbers, he's welcome to live on the futon in the back room.]

Hey. [Quiet, eyes shifting from the tie to the beverage tray as he stands, sliding the folder onto the counter.] What's got you around these parts?

[His hands rest on the counter instead of reaching out for one of the cups, sure, but he appears relaxed in Yuri's presence, standing less like the owner of the shop they were both in and more like, well.

Someone actually pleased and comfortable to see another person.

Ah.

Aha.

Well.

Mongooses have to be ready to tango at a moment's notice, give him a moment.]

10/24 -- 1 / i'll let you know

[lurings]

Hi, I'm home.

Was not eaten by bears or abominable snowmen.

I don't think the Yeti is native to Minnesota.

No one died.

[lurings]

[ a couple hours later. ]

See, this is where you say

I'm proud of you, Abigail.

Congratulations on your lack of homicidal tendencies when in the presence of teenage boys.

Where the fuck have you been?

[lackey]

I'm busy.
There's a dog.
Two dogs.
But they're small so it's like one dog.
I'm very busy .

[Hopefully this is not another girlfriend. Hopefully Will Graham doesn't have an actual harem.]

11/27, let's also keep blowing up Will's phone

[redhairring]

I am stuck at a Thanksgiving dinner with my housemates and people I absolutely hate, somehow this is all your fault.
I would seriously take pretending to hate you all evening and awkward small talk with your jailbait girlfriend over this

[redhairring]

that jesse kid is here, the one who i said had the clap, KILL ME NOW

TEXT | Forward dated to late evening 12/13/2014

[purgation]

I'm going to be out of town for a couple of weeks.
Would it be possible for you to look after my houseplants for me while I am gone?

[infomodder]

[what crime did he commit to deserve thi—
oh right
everything

everything]

Do you want me to check in on them at your place or pick them up and bring them to mine?

[He would respect the plants if he had to take them to his place, no doubts. It's not like he's gonna invite Freddie over and they'll pour hard liquor in the soil and laugh as the plants start withering. That's 2 low.]

You mean Saturday after this upcoming one, right?
I might be able to make it.
What's for dinner?

[ex_question191]

[ at some point while will is still in the hospital, stiles had abigail drop off a card that just says "GET WELL SOON. Stiles." inside but is pretty definitely handmade. ]

[ /texts will from the front room of the shop while he is in the back. it's around about the time she should be getting ready for the charity auction. nbd. ]

What does one wear to a charity date auction?

[infomodder]

[Clothes?????]

Something classy, I guess.
Definitely the sort of thing you put on a little more than deodorant for.

[lyingheart]

Nice coat you had on this past Saturday.

[ hello, Will. ]

Were you supposed to be up and moving around this soon?

[infomodder]

Thanks. It's pretty much the same as the one I had back home. I like it.

[Hey, Annie.]

Not exactly. Why?

voicemail;

[andaway]

Hello, Will Graham? It's Clark Kent, we've talked before. Not sure if you'll remember me.

Anyway, Freddie Lounds gave me a list of people I should get in contact with if I wanted to gather information and you were in it. I was hoping you could answer some questions? There's no rush, whenever it's convenient for you.

Thank you.

[infomodder]

[He listens to this, and it's pretty fine. "Not sure if you'll remember me" makes him almost snort. Yeah, he remembers him. Smallville. Pa. Will talking about how he'd welcome a decent reporter running around. Will's memory is a hell of a thing and he's still sometimes surprised by how he's gone from a place where everyone knew it to a place where people just

lump him in with the rest of the population.

It's actually pretty nice. It is.

And then Freddie Lounds gave me a list of people and it's not really nice at all. He saw Clark's post, didn't have anything to say. Purposefully made it so he would never have anything to say about the higher ups, has kept himself out of that business. If it's nothing to do with that, he's trying to figure out what it would have to do with.

Murder? Dogs? Did somebody in the style section end up draped over a cave bear skeleton? What does Freddie Lounds find him to be worth deferring someone to and what in the hell does he need to steel himself for with this? Not dogs. If Clark grew up calling his father Pa and with the the rest of that conversation taken into account, he's probably dealt with dogs in some capacity before. He can handle dogs.

God he's going to make a vegetarian fajita effigy of Freddie Lounds and light it on fire right in front of her eyes next time they meet if this goes in a poor direction.

(Because clearly it wouldn't thanks to something Will might say or do, right?)

Chill out, Graham. It's a Goddamn phone call. One he returns after about fifteen minutes of trying to figure out what it's about, contemplating texting Freddie with a WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ABOUT WHY ARE YOU SENDING PEOPLE TO ME I DON'T LIKE BEING THIS OUT OF THE LOOP FYI WELL DONE WITH THE BIDDING THANKS FOR THE EMAIL OF VEGETARIAN RECIPES BUT SERIOUSLY WHAT IS THIS, and cursing the fact that the shop is closed on Sunday so he has no excuse for taking hours because whoops sorry he was playing with insects, you know how you do.]

Clark? Now's convenient.

[Maybe he should say "hi" or "I remember you" but. It's rather implied, isn't it?]

text sent early on 12/25

[lyingheart]

I have something to drop off for you, should I leave it in the shop or at your place or somewhere else?

[infomodder]

[goddamnit annie]

the shop
it's technically closed
I can make my way over though
are you in Heropa already?

Leaving a gift

[anthropophagite]

[ Kaneki doesn't really celebrate Christmas nor he is used to giving people presents, but in Japan there is Oseibu at the end of the year, when people give gifts to others who have helped them. So he decided (since he has heard so much about Christmas of late) to give something to his friends, acquaintances and people who have helped him. Also his (ex) roomates (he left the house, but it's polite to give his roommates gifts ok ok).

Some time during 25th December to 2nd January, he will leave a small box with three cupcakes (sorry, he didn't taste any so he doesn't know if they are good) and attached to the box there is a green card that says "I hope you'll have a good new year." ]

[infomodder]

[MYSTERY CUPCAKES. WHAT'S IN THEM. IS THE MYSTERY OF THE CUPCAKES THAT PART OF THEIR INGREDIENTS ARE PEOPLE? BECAUSE IT'S POSSIBLE THAT'S A THING. IT'S JUST HIS LUCK. Of course, considering others in the house got them, too, perhaps it's less likely. They look store bought NOT THAT THAT MEANS A GODDAMN THING. Who the hell did this, why are they cute. Why are cupcakes giving him suffering and conflict. Why do they look both delicious and terrifying. Why is this a thing that is happening. Why. Just...why?

So maybe if Will spends too long mentally vibrating over MYSTERY CUPCAKES FROM PEOPLE HE DOESN'T KNOW April will just eat them all. He's not going to throw them in the trash. It's rude to be

waistful.]

Hey. I don't often do this, but...

Can I ask for your help on a case?

There aren't any crime scenes, though.

You can say no if you want.

[There aren't any crime scenes.

This could either be the best sort of case (no murder!!!) or the absolute worst sort of case (we haven't found the murder!!!!). Extremes! Let's see which way it blows.]

It's all right. What do you need help with?
