'A coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave but one' The man who first said that was probably a coward. He knew a great deal about cowards but nothing about the brave. The brave dies perhaps two thousand deaths if he's intelligent. He simply doesn't mention them.

Scott laughed at the only guest left in the coffee shop and looked at him. âWell, you might already brought the plague to everyone on your way here earlier.â He said and started to wipe the tables around him. âWhy do you not want to go home?â He asked. He sometimes didnât want to go home as well and it was mostly because he felt lonely at home.
     No one had really asked him that question before. He stayed late at work and when he wasnât working he was out drinking the night away or in the small coffee shop working on whatever was on his mind that day. âOh.. Well what can I say, Iâm from a BIG family. Iâm used to being surrounded with yelling and cursing siblings. But here I live alone, itâs kind of different. Itâs quiet and Iâm not sure how I feel about itâÂ

âIâm not going to kiss you, so no worries from here.â He told him. âI was going to wait until you died first, but alright.â He chuckled. âAnyway, you said you wanted to show me some of your pieces to see if I wanted to use it as inspirationâ

    âWell I bet kissinâ me is helluva lot more fun while Iâm alive and breathing but if you wanna wait until Iâm dead then suit yourselfâ Mickey chewed on his lower lip as he studied the other man from underneath his lowered lashes. âWait, you want to use my pieces as inspiration?â Pushing himself away from the wall, he gestured towards the back room. âI have few of them back there, if you want to take a look at themâ

âThatâs the spirit!â Beckett encouraged enthusiastically. âI think youâll be elated to know that civilization is exactly how you left it.â he replied with a soft laugh of his own as the young male followed his friend as he made his way towards the bathroom to clean off the artist warpaint he sported. âI find it adoring, however Iâm not so sure the rest of New York City will. It could possibly earn you a few weird looks.â Beckett shrugged as he leaned against the door frame. âEspecially if we decide to go out for lunch. Thatâs my subtle â not so subtle â way of telling you Iâm starving and need some food before I pass out. Itâs on me if you decide to tag along. Iâll have you back in this dirty old place in no time. Promise.â
    âScrew the rest of New York City. If you adore it then Iâd walk around the city, blue as a smurf and Iâd even go as far as buying a white hat.â Mickey had to stifle a laugh when he glanced in the direction of Beckett. âBut me being painted blue and being dressed in a white pants and a hat wouldnât even come close to the strangest things that happen in the cityâ  With a wicked grin playing across his lips he washed his skin with warm water, the blue color blending with the water and staining the sink. âThatâs very subtle, I barely even noticed your very subtle hint. But thereâs no way Iâm letting you pay for lunch. Especially not after you had to enter my dirty old place, by the way itâs not dirty itâs disorganizedâ

âHmmmmmmm,â He hummed out loud debating the two scenarios put before him. âWell, option one, I could be patient one I guess, since you would be patient zero from which I got the bubonic plague and I could go out and create this apocalyptic end of the world thing. I think I might feel slightly guilty for being the bringer of that. Iâm sure theyâd curse my name for the rest of history to come. Or, option two, I stay hereâŚ.you donât seem too bad.â He eyed him as if sizing him up. Honestly the paint splatter and the messiness he appreciated. It meant the other was dedicated and passionate about what he did. âYou could entertain me for the rest of time with your works of art.â He gestured to what he had been working on the floor. Everett didnât pretend to know anything about art. Visual arts, again, were never his thing. But it looked pretty cool to him but he didnât have a trained eye to say anything else. âDonât worry about it, you have to do something to help pass the time. Honestly, this isnât even half bad. If you saw my workspace at home, it looks like a hurricane blew through it.â He offered with a small laugh following the other leading him to the crayons around the corner. Now came the decision for what he was going to use. Hazel eyes roamed across the choices, looking for the smallest box cause honestly he probably wouldnât use them again in the near future. At the same time, he was still listening to the other and couldnât help the snort, âOh god no, no kids. Taking care of myself is more than enough effort and a twenty-four seven job.â He was good at making fun of himself. âThis is for me,â he explained turning his gaze to the other male. âI got it into my head that it was a good idea to try and experiment with colors on this poster I had created for a benefit concert only to then realize I donât have anything by way of markers or crayons and such.â he offered a small sigh, âThis is probably the worst idea Iâve had because I honestly hated coloring books when I was a kid. But now I have to at least try to curb my curiosity. If it ends up looking like Alice in Wonderland going through the rabbit hole, then I can toss it and be satisfied.â
    âThey might curse your name for the rest of history, which wouldnât be so long since you would have ruined the civilization and all that. I know thatâs bad, but at least youâre name would be written in the history books. Okay that sounded slightly crazy âOh yes spread the plague and kill everyone just so your name would be written and rememberedâ â Mickey let out a huff of breath when he mentioned that would be able to entertain him with his work of art. âSure, sure I could do that but Iâll most likely entertain you with my horrible sense of humor. If that wonât be entertaining enough for you then  I donât know what will.â Mickey casually leaned up against a rack, a smile still touched the corner of his mouth and played in the laugh lines beside his eyes as he watched the other man trying make the difficult choice of what crayons he should pick. This was what he loved the most about his store, the people that pretty much had no idea what they were doing, trying to take baby steps in the art world. Heâd seen so many over the years pull their hair out in frustration over which pencil is the ârightâ pencil. His eyes followed the other man as he listened intently to every word he spoke. âThatâs interesting, But I think it will look great, even if itâll look like Alice in wonderland on acid.â Without saying another word Mickey picked up a pack of crayons and handed it over to the man. âIf I were you Iâd use these ones and as for markers just pick what color you like best, but please try to make them bright and happy, otherwise it would be kind of sad and depressingâ He was about to turn back to the register, to give the man some peace and quiet when he hesitated for a split of a second. âWell, if you need any help with the posters then Iâd be more then willing to help.â Â

     His heart was still beating fast with the rhythm long after it had quieted down.  His skin was trembling and his mind was somewhere far away from this filthy street of New York. He wasnât done with the night yet though, not even if most of the people that had been dancing the night away were already in bed, alone or not. No he needed to settle his craving. âHey Mickey, same as usual?â The old, rusty voice embraced him once he entered the diner, pulling him slowly out of his drunken haze. âOf course, what elseâ He told Earl with his signature grin. The old man gave him a second glance with his brows furrowed together as if he was deep in thought. âDonât go spreading that glitter around the dinerâ Mickey ran his fingers through his hair and watched the red, glittering rain slowly fall to the ground. Heâd been too busy focusing on the glitter, trying to remember where it came from that he hadnât even noticed the guy that had entered the diner.Â

          â I did nothing of the sort!â ALICE exclaimed defensively as she was eventually backed up against the bar. the male she had aggravated was drunk and getting confrontational as he continued to accuse ALICE of stealing his wallet. he was ABSOLUTELY right, and she had thought she had gotten away with it too⌠had someone seen her and told him? god, this was turning into a DISASTER. this is what she gets when she steals out of boredomâŚÂ â why donât you just⌠sit down, sir? we can call over the bartender or the manager and see if we can find it?â she answered nervously as the male continued to scream.Â
     Mickey had spent most of his life being surrounded with people like the woman at the bar. Thieves. His father used to take him and his brother to teach them his craft and more then once his father had been caught by the law, rightfully so. His mother was no better but she had done it out of desperation, she would nick a wallet whenever their money was tight. She didnât feel bad about it and he didnât feel bad about it either. None of them had the privilege to feel guilty about how they got the money they needed. But that didnât mean he wouldnât nudge the drunken man at the bar when he noticed the girl pick his pocket. She wasnât family so he couldnât care any less what happened to her. âYouâre pretty good at this. Reckless but pretty goodâÂ

Beckett tilted his head and a fond smile tugged at the corners of his mouth at the ridiculous excuse given to a simple request he made. âOkay, Iâm not even sure what that is exactly but Iâm one hundred percent positive you donât have it.â the young male countered, rolling his eyes playfully. âItâs a beautiful day out, yet here you are cooped up indoors. Your creativity could surely benefit from a a bit of fresh air and sun rays. Perhaps you might want to consider cleaning up a bit first.â Beckett chuckled, referring to the blue paint that the other male wore on his face.
   His fingertips brushed against the blue paint on his skin and his smile faltered for a split of a second before he put the pencil down and stood up from the floor. âAlright then. I guess it would be nice to go out for a moment, to get a fresh air and to see if the civilization I once knew is still standingâ He joked and his classic old smile was back on his lips. He made his way over to the bathroom where he was able to inspect the mess heâd created on this face. Blue paint dripping down his temple and down his cheek, it was everywhere. âAre you sure you want me to clean up Beck? I thought you loved it when I looked like a smurfâÂ

Alphonse just kept at laughing. âI have a feeling you will go even further as soon as I tell you that Iâm from Norway, home of vikings.â He expressed and then slowly turned around and lifted his shirt, showing some purple bruises on his back. âNo broken bones, just sore.â
   Mickeyâs eyes wandered down his torso where he could see the bruised skin and well... his toned body. âYeah I can see that. It must have hurt though? Oh wait no, of course it didnât. Because apparently youâre not just some kind of a hero but now youâre a Norse god and a bloody viking?â He had to hide the grin that was only growing wider with each second that passed. âI can see it though, you could definitely be a Norse god, a viking and a heroâ
#okay first of ignore him he's a lil shit right now#secondly it's really hard to miss tbh even if the english translation is f up xD#but the people from my country are originally vikings from norway#and we're like called ice giants o.e

âYou have to tell me again what that means.â He said as he blinked. âWhat were you doing anyway to be using that?â He asked him curiously as he was more interested in his reasoning rather than the garment.
    âThat means Iâm highly contagious and Iâm pretty sure Iâm going to die in the next twelve hoursâ He muttered to himself in a low tone as he stood up from the floor to face Malik. He might be over reacting a little bit, a lot. He had a sore throat and he was way too lazy to go out in the real world and actually do something. âI was going to protect all my precious things with it, in case you were  going to go and try to steal it away once Iâd pass over to the other sideâÂ

Alphonseâs first reaction was to laugh, mostly because of the maleâs last words. âIâm a firefighter. I was in a tight situation of whether jump or stay and possibly be burned.â
    âSo it is true, I am standing with a hero that walks through burning buildings and gracefully flies through windowsâ He was impressed, well he was more then impressed. He was absolutely STUNNED. But instead of expressing that feeling he kept up his act with a grim spreading across his face. âYouâre alright though? You didnât break any bones, or did ya?âÂ
#interaction : grannusvalhalla#and he honestly looks like baldur#baldr in english (i think)#wow okay im gonna stop being weird now c:

Finishing rehearsals, Sierra sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. She was beyond exhausted and all she wanted was to get coffee and be lazy on her couch. Tapping her feet as she waited in line, she pursed her lips in annoyance. âHonestly, how hard is it to just take peopleâs orders and make their coffee?â
    âApparently REALLY  fuckinâ hard. Iâve watched this barista messing up the same order not twice but THREE times. How is this even possibleâ Usually Mickey would have the patient to wait in line for god knows how long to get his coffee but not today. Today he needed the coffee and because of the delay he was about ready to go absolutely mad.Â

Yeha, I know it doesnât look too badâŚbut thatâs what happens when you jump out of a window.
    âUm what? Now I have so many questions for you... For example why on earth did you jump out of a window?? Are you some kind of a super hero in disguise, because I doubt any normal human being would look this fine after jumping out of a windowâ

Arts and crafts werenât really his thing. He had put up quite the temper tantrum in kindergarten when the teacher tried to make him finger paint and all he wanted to do was play the keyboard in the playroom. Heâd grown out of that but passed a fairly lopsided, disproportionate stick figure with three fingers on each hand (not five), he stuck to performing arts. But he had gotten it into his head that it might look awesome if the poster he had come up with had some color. So he thought heâd play around with crayons or markers, be a kid again. Thatâs how he ended up at the art supply store going through the aisles and finding the guy (supposedly who worked there) sitting on the floor working on something or other. âSo itâs a fifty-fifty chance that Iâm either a carrier or will walk out of here with bubonic plague. Good to know.â He said with a light laugh. âI was hoping maybe to add some crayons, markers, or even colored pencils to the list. Which way would those be?â He asked fingers pointing in different directions as he spoke so the other could direct him.Â
    âWell yes, so now you can either decide to go out and spread the plague or be stuck in here with me for the rest of your lifeâ The corner of his lips slid upwards before he realized the man had been looking for something âOh yes, Crayons of courseâ Mickey quickly pulled himself away from the unfinished painting, but not before giving it a final glance. His eyes following the blue swirls as they collided into the ocean of different colors and textures. He of course noticed every single flaw and perfection in his art and as always he made a mental note about everything that he wanted to to do to make this piece even better then it already was before he turned his full attention towards the man- the costumer. Only then he realized how unprofessional he looked. He was in his painting clothes, his hair was standing in every direction with itâs own will and he hadnât even noticed the man as he entered the store because he was too busy painting.. on the floor. âSorry about the whole paint splattered mess I am right now, Iâm usually a lot more presentable. Itâs been a slow dayâ With a huff of a breath he ran his fingers through his hair, desperately trying to smooth down the wild locks before making his way to the corner where all of the things the man was looking for. âHere it is, May I ask why you need it?? Is it for you or do you have a kid thatâs about to bring home some strange art project?âÂ

    "i might have the bubonic plague. iâll wipe out half the country if i go outside.â Mickey glanced up at the person, His icy blue eyes growing wide as he considered his excuse, It wasnât his best excuse.... Okay it was awful, but right now he had made himself comfortable on the floor in his old band shirt, that heâd ruined long ago with multiple layers of paint. With pencil as his weapon and blue paint smudged over his hands and face so the last thing on his mind was going out.Â
