A Fame Detox... Through Kidnapping? (Cherry)

[Crow]

Bek brought out a couple of lime sodas and put one down in front of Cherry before beginning to munch at his sandwich.​

​

"Oh, nothing lives in there, now. I had a dog here for a few months, and the little devil loved to knock things over. Eventually, that room became my laundry dump, and I just started sleeping on the couch. Comfiest piece of furniture I've ever bought."​

"You sure he's not buried in there somewhere? The piles are big enough to hide me..." ​

​

Cherry started nibbling on her sandwich. It was... so good... Her bites grew bigger and bigger. It had been a LONG time since she'd had meat!​

​

[Crow]

"Who d'you think made those piles? Besides, I literally saw the furball run away after a cat. Was walking him on the mainland, and he broke the leash and got away. Fast dog."​

​

Bek munched his sandwich happily. It was so freaking spicy, it felt like his brain was setting itself on fire. Awesome. His eyes widened when he looked at Cherry again, though. Somebody was enjoying their sandwich. Of course, the idiotic supermodel diet usually had whoever was doing it half-starving most of the time, so he wasn't surprised. But, still, he was watching this small red-haired girl eat a monster-sized sandwich... and it was really cute.​

​

He ate some more of his sandwich. It was a good distraction.​

Cherry was done with her sandwich a few minutes later. She wiped the mustard from the corners of her mouth, sucking it off of her fingers. That was when she realized that she'd just eaten like a hunger-driven maniac in front of someone. She looked over at Crow.​

​

"Pop-stars learn to sacrifice food early-on..."​

Bek put the last bite of his sandwich in his mouth, and did pretty much the same thing Cherry had done with the sauce on her hands. He finished by licking his lips and raised his eyebrow at her when he realized what she'd said. And then he rolled his eyes.​

​

"Oh, yes, you ate and you should feel horrible for weeks and weeks about it."​

​

"I eat. I just... I don't eat like this."​

​

Cherry looked back to the counter. She was a bit embarrassed about the whole thing.​

​

[member="Crow"]
​

 

[Crow]

"Relax. I steal for a living. I've got no right to judge."​

​

Bek leaned against the counter, looking at Cherry.​

​

"I'm not going to tell you not to eat."​

​

Cherry looked at Crow again. He was still a kidnapper. But at least he wasn't trying to be an ass or anything.​

​

"Thanks..."​

​

[member="Crow"]​

 

[Crow]

Bek shrugged and rolled his eyes again.​

​

"I'm just not being a jackass."​

​

[member="Cherry Ikon"]​

 

[Slot 18]

"Yeah. Thanks for that, too."​

​

Cherry said, smiling a little.​

​

[member="Crow"]​

 

[Crow]

Bek smiled back, way more warmly than he had before.​

​

"Comes with the package. Get kidnapped by a bird-themed ghost burglar, get a free non-jackass. And some clothes that aren't a nightgown."​

​

Cherry shook her head a little, still smiling. It was weird to feel this comfortable with a guy who'd just showed up and put her in his car. Maybe she was developing Stockholm Syndrome.​

​

"So... Seeing as how I'm here and all, is there something a bit more interesting to do than eat good sandwiches?"​

​

[member="Crow"]​

 

[Crow]

Bek grinned and walked towards the door, quietly humming again.​

​

"If you'll follow me, Your Berry-ness, I have video games and movies and stuff..."​

​

He could've also mentioned going swimming, but Cherry definitely didn't have a bathing suit, and trying to get her to borrow one would've gotten seriously awkward.​

​

Cherry followed Crow into decently-sized living room, cozy and private except for a sliding glass door that led out to the pool. The holo-vision was very big, and below it was row after row of games and movies.​

​

"Have you even played all of those??"​

​

[member="Crow"]​

 

[Crow]

Bek grinned as broadly as his face allowed. Games! He loved video games!​

​

"Hell yes! I love racers, and RPGs, and just games. Though, I do end up with an inordinate number of characters like me."​

​

As he said this, he glanced at Sith Assassin's Creed and shrugged happily.​

​

[Slot 18]

((OOC: WHAT CREED??? I'd still play it though. X3))​

​

"Never actually played any video games before... What about this one?"​

​

Cherry pulled out a game that had a singing silhouette on the front. It was called "Just Sing".​

​

[member="Crow"]​

 

[Crow]

((To be fair, I'd play 90% of Ubisoft games at least once.))​

​

Bek looked at the cover of the game Cherry was holding, and smirked a little bit.​

​

"Karaoke game. Didn't think you'd be into that kind of thing."​

​

[member="Cherry Ikon"]​

 

[Slot 18]

Karaoke? Wasn't that what drunk people did in bars with their friends? Kinda funny that someone would make a game out of that. Cherry shrugged.​

​

"I'm not really sure what I'm into. I've never played games before. Let alone games about singing." ​

​

She was pretty confident she'd win, though.​

​

[member="Crow"]​

 

[Crow]

Bek's smile shifted into a look of somewhat joking disgust.​

​

"I find your lack of games... disturbing..."​

​

Without changing his expression, he slipped the case out of her hand and put the disk into the game console.​

((OOC: No. Just... NO... ))​

​

Cherry shook her head, rolling her eyes.​

​

"My life is what a lot of people dream about. In order to keep up that appeal, I don't get to do things like play games."​

​

She looked at the screen as the main menu came up.​

​

"So, we just sing, right? Who goes first?"​
