I: Apartment

[So today was his birthday. William had been so preoccupied that he had forgotten about the date until Kevin had reminded him. When he woke up that morning, William found that his feelings about the day were rather complicated. Especially since his last birthday had seen a complete upheaval in one of the very foundation stones of his life.

That had been when he'd learned that Kevin wasn't who he had appeared to be. That Kevin wasn't the Kevin he'd known since childhood, but someone who had taken the original's place, like a cuckoo bird invading a nest. And there had been countless other deceptions tied into that, Kevin's being an Angel among them.

It had all worked out in the end and for the better, as their relationship was now much stronger. But the date was firmly etched into his mind, more bittersweet than something to celebrate.

Of course, William wasn't one to let himself dwell on such things and he quickly gained his bearings and decided to get prepared for the day. He couldn't go to London this year, but William was going to enjoy the day and all it brought with it, regardless of any negative associations.

Throughout the day he texts different friends, inviting them over for cake and snacks, because there's only so much he can eat on his own.]

II. Shopping District

[He's saved enough money that he can treat himself, so William's been hitting different stores all day. He's mainly thinking of buying some books and a few video games, though mostly he's been window shopping here and there.

Despite having been in the city for a while, William still finds a bit of modern technology or some alien merchandise that surprises him. And he's staring at one particular thing now, whatever it is, one eyebrow raised.]

Whatever it is, they shouldn't advertise it with such an absurd slogan.

Comments

[notsolomon]

[He hadn't expected any gifts on his birthday, so it's a pleasant surprise, even though earrings are not something he wears.]

You didn't have to, but it is appreciated. But anyways, come in and sit down. I even have some alcohol here if you want some.

[The responsibility for the state of their apartment rested more with Kevin than anything. Not that William wasn't capable of helping out, but when a former archangel was determined to be your maidservant, you didn't complain. And he was efficient at the job.

The actual decor was similar to what one would find back in the Victorian era, save for the the touches of the modern here and there, particularly the kitchen.]

[playboyknight]

[Ah alcohol, the best thing he could ever want when coming to celebrations. He also appreciated the decor, it was nice.]

You have a very nice apartment, William. Do you mind if I come over more often? You also know one of my weaknesses, I'm ready for any alcohol you have.

[notsolomon]

As long as Kevin has not problem with it, I hardly mind.

[Sometimes he's immune to flattery and sometimes it'll get you everywhere. And today is very much the latter.]

But would prefer wine, brandy, gin, or something else. Because we somehow managed to acquire a bit of everything.

[Sometimes he wonders if Kevin isn't also an alcoholic along with a gambling addict.]

[playboyknight]

Ah I see. So your friend has to dictate whoever comes over.

[He's teasing of course, so it's down to business for drinking instead.]

I'll take a glass of red wine for now though, I need to ease up on my drinking if I'm going to be running a restaurant and tavern.

[notsolomon]

He, well I am the master, but I try to be considerate of his needs.

[But he's going to find some glasses and pour some for both of them.]

It wouldn't be good to be tempted to drink through the wares, would it? Temperance really can be just as much an asset as a virtue.

[playboyknight]

Hmm? Is that so? Do you have a fondness towards your friend?

[Again he's teasing William, but this was kind of funny to him. Though he does answer him about the temperance.]

Ah of course, we were always taught in the church that it was vital for our every day lives.

[notsolomon]

He is very important to me, so yes...

[He's able to admit that about Kevin more so than other people, but it still feels a little goofy sometimes.]

Honestly, you do not seem like the type who would normally have any connection to the Church.

[playboyknight]

That's what everyone seems to think whenever I mention it, but I am a fully trained priest.

[He also takes a mental note of William's behavior of his friend with an amused grin. He does decide to change the subject however.]

So how about those drinks? I could use one.

[notsolomon]

Sure...

[He passes the one glass he filled over to Angelo before taking his own ans sipping a little.]

I think this is one that Kevin chose, so it's pretty decent.

[And probably a little too strong, but whatever.]

[playboyknight]

[He wonders how much alcohol William can handle before he'll fall over, but he just has to wait and see. He does however start drinking his wine.]

Hmm, not bad. I'd say this one is definitely worth having more often.

[notsolomon]

[Not much honestly. Assuming he doesn't just become embarrassingly drunk.]

There is very little that is low quality in here. Though I cannot guarantee the vodka, since I have never tried it. He tends to drink that sort of thing like water though.

[Some Angel.]

[playboyknight]

[After his last incident with vodka, he's staying far away from it.]

I'm not much of a vodka drinker, too disgusting for my taste buds.

[notsolomon]

It is a bit off for me as well. I think he just really likes being drunk.

[He's already feeling a bit of warmth from what he is drinking. If he paces himself, he'll be fine though.]

[playboyknight]

Your friend? I wouldn't blame him. Drinking helps you through certain problems.

[He's slowly chugging his wine down and swishing it a bit in the glass between chugging.]

[notsolomon]

Some people have far too many problems then.

[Not that he didn't understand the impulse at all This was nice right now.]

[playboyknight]

That or perhaps people get drunk out of enjoyment. It's a matter of taste.

[He finishes his drink already and seems really pleased.]

I know after a couple of drinks, I'm ready to have more fun than a simple drink can give.

[notsolomon]

And what exactly is your idea of fun then?

[This isn't said sarcastically, because he is curious. If they are going to work together, it's good to know these things. And they have had enough run ins during trying situations.]

[playboyknight]

Either going to the casino or laying up with a gorgeous woman.

[Hopefully William is fine with that answer because it's all he's getting.]

[notsolomon]

I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised by that. You did seem the type.

[It's really not surprising, though it's a bit indolent. But well, he's heard of worse excuses for fun.]

[playboyknight]

What's that supposed to mean? Just because I like gambling and women doesn't mean I'm a type.

[Yes it does, Angelo. Though his expression might be flat and almost insulted by William's words.]

[notsolomon]

Is that really so insulting? I hardly mean any offense by it.

[Oops though. That bad habit of his, being a little too blunt and insulting is rearing up.]

[playboyknight]

I'm hardly insulted, more annoyed at being told I'm a type than anything else. Though I have to confess your attitude towards certain things reminds me of myself, so I can't be that annoyed. Bluntness is something more people need to express.

[Well, at least he's not angry? Huzzah.]

[notsolomon]

I only mince words with the people I have to, and fortunately, there are not many people like that here.

[Sometimes his bluntness was more character flaw than not.]

Sometimes the direct approach is the best.

[playboyknight]

William, I swear by the Goddess we truly are long lost siblings. Our attitudes are so alike it's almost painful.

[He's pretending to act in pain.]

So let's start acting like actual brothers.

[notsolomon]

It is a bit painful.

[Honestly, he has notice some similarities here and there.]

So does this mean you'll be a good brother and look the other way whenever I get in trouble?
