02--[In Person? Hope this is right.]

[Zarbon's been flying around Paris, checking things out. Having very little interest in Earth culture or customs, he hasn't been spending much time taking in the scenery and instead opting to try and find a way out. However, for some inexplicable reason, he's still in the damn city and unable to leave.

This hasn't escaped his notice.

So right now he's landed on the edge of a bridge overlooking the Seine and is not looking particularly amused by the situation. Open to whoever wants to pester him.]

Kinda pisses you odd, don't it.

[It wasn't a question as it was a direct response to Zarbon's expression. he hops up onto the ledge of the bridge and looks down.]

Makes me wanna test a theory.

[He's already met Piccolo so the other didn't seem so odd only in the way he was dressed but that could just be a time culture thing that he wasn't about to discuss.]

If it's true that a person can't die.

[He's been dead once and didn't fear it from his expression and looking at the river below.]

Makes a person wonder just how many people threw themselves off that tower, don't it?

[He gave a salute and a grin before diving off the side of the bridge.]

[John's head pokes up out of the water and laughs, wading to stay afloat.]

[He laughs even harder as he starts swimming toward the shore.]

Whoo!!

[He climbs ashore. Yes, he was that bored and needed the rush. Ringing out his coat, he takes a seat on the bench.]

This place'll make ya stir crazy.

[He looks at the other and grins.]

Two things. You're reaction an' what you would say. You never had a rush before?

[John removed his shoes to get the water out and wring out his socks.]

Oh, maybe somethin' like, "fall an' die ya sorry sonuvabitch" or "I'll catch you." I didn't get neither so that's a start.

[He puts on the sock before going to the other foot.]

Some people don't give a shit at all. At least ya paid attention.

[John didn't really seem all that fazed by the statement.]

Ya wouldn't be th' first.

[He puts the other sock on and slips on his shoes.]

Been dead before. That's how I got here.

[He wrings out his tie and shakes his head.]

Nope. Why? Ya think yer dead?

[He called it as he saw it and sometimes that can be a little irritating but there's a reason for the bluntness.]

[identity profile] hunted-by-fbi.livejournal.com 2010-11-16 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Still figurin' that one out.

[He finishes up at least getting the worse of the water out and nods.]

Someone said tha' there's a story that's bein' written and this Author dragged us in from different points in our lives t' finish up th' chapters. I hate bein' used like that.

A bunch'a people thrown into a manor an' forced t' live with each other.

[John only shrugs. He's not saying one way or the other what anyone can or can't do.]

When you find another place, let me know so I can get out an' find one myself.

[John's internally laughing at this point which manifests into a reassuring nod.]

Good. Sounds like you got it all figured out.

[And that was John's cue to head back to the hotel to change his clothes.]
