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.

[If you have your own idea for a prompt, type it up by all means!]

Comments

[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?

[playboyknight]

[There's a raised eyebrow at William.]

That depends. I may if you give me the right motivation.

[Aka give him money and he won't say a word.]

[notsolomon]

I do not think that shall be a challenge.

[Bribery? How exciting! Like a real politician!]

But I suppose such matters should wait until the proper time.

[playboyknight]

Mm you'll find I'm not that easy to please. So you'll get a challenge out of it.

[He'll make it extra hard on the other too.]

Though you're correct, let us save that talk for another day.

[notsolomon]

Oh, demanding huh?

[He supposed it wasn't surprising. He looked like the kind who took a mile for every inch and made sure you felt it.]

How old are you anyways? I somehow never asked.

[playboyknight]

I'm about making deals more so than demanding.

[Though he did love making things hard for others sometimes for fun, because he found it interesting.]

Oh? You're asking that now? I'm twenty-one.

[notsolomon]

[Deals huh? Well that is perfectly fine. William is all about reasonable solutions. Assuming the other party is reasonable.]

Heh, for some reason I thought you were a little older than me.

[That's a relief honestly.]

[playboyknight]

[Being reasonable is one his best traits. Though he does quirk an eyebrow at William's reply.]

Why do you say that? Do I seem older to you?

[He's not insulted and in fact curious.]
