Thursday Doesn't Even Start.
No work today. Zoe was busy, and no one worth hitting was out in the Triangle.

After a while of staring in the mirror and seeing Joey written across it, he knew he had to get out somewhere. And not to the Outsiders. Not unless he wanted to end up pleading about how he could make such a hot chick and not be of interest once he turned out to be a boy -- they were the same lips and same legs either way. And that would be humiliating for all parties.

So he'd made a day trip, to Coast City. Uncle Jed had done a little work there once. Said it was an interesting place to visit.

	On one of the buildings near the ocean, Eli is busy arguing with the air. At least that's what it looks like. He's pointing at the air while he says, "Look... just shut up for once. I did the ring thing, all right? The Black Night is over. Now can't you just fucking leave me alone!?" (Reply to this)(Thread)

	GK looks up at the guy on the rooftop shouting. Did he mention the 'Ring Thing'? Was something still going on about that? He heads up a fire escape to talk to the guy. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli doesn't notice. He's busy yelling. "Because you still have things to do. And laying about on your ass drinking isn't one of them" the hallucination tells him. "You sent me back to far! I've got years to wait until something happens!" he snarls. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sounds like you've got pretty lousy company for such a long wait." ...Damn. Why'd the crazy guy have to be hot? Or maybe he just had one of those rings talking in his head still. But GK didn't see a ring. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Eli spins around and stares. "What?" is the intelligent thing he has to say. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Just... someone or something's apparently talking in your head, and it's pissing you off, so.. if you've got to put up with nothing but that for a few years, that's... going to suck." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With a bit of a manic gleam in his eyes, he says. "Yeah, I'm hallucinating Kyle Rayner. I think I've done a bit too many drugs." At least he's honest about it? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-07 03:23 am UTC (link)
	"Ah." Well, that was honest, indeed. "You know what might shut him up for a while? Food. May I buy you a burger?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-07 03:31 am UTC (link)
	"Yes," he says with absolutely no hesitation whatsoever. Free food? Yes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, thank goodness you can tell I'm a boy. The last guy I bought a drink for... it was humiliating." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-07 04:07 am UTC (link)
	He shrugs. "I've known enough guys in drag to tell them apart from women." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-07 04:20 am UTC (link)
	GK nods and sighs slightly. He doesn't even have to be in drag for people to get confused. And soon, they're downstairs, and soon there's a fast food place, and he's buying them a few burgers, fries, and drinks. "You live here?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-07 04:29 am UTC (link)
	Eli's self centered enough not to notice. "No. Not really. It's complicated." Mmm food. "I mean I sort of live in San Fran, but I'm not really from there. Or here. I grew up in LA though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	GK nods. "Seattle originally. Star City now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"2019 originally," he says through a bite of his burger. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	veryperceptive 2011-04-07 04:34 am UTC (link)
	"Oh... I, only travel in time the forwards way, personally." That explained the 'back too far' rant. GK wondered if that was for real, or if, as he supposed was so, metas could be crazy homeless people, too. "So... what's up with that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-07 04:38 am UTC (link)
	"I got sent back by Rayner to stop an alien invasion from killing off ninety eight percent of the world and superhero population. "Over-shot." He's crazy. Not really homeless ... really. Well. "How far in the future?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Wow.. that's.. very big picture. Way over my head. Even the whole Zombie Thing was a bit much for me, I gotta say." He blinks for a moment. "Me? Oh... sorry. Just the same one minute per minute way as anybody; I meant I have the same relationship with time everyone else does." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	half_angel_eli 2011-04-08 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Eli blinks and then laughs. "I have lived my life too much among superhero folks clearly. Since I'm thinking that every mention of time travel is actually that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I grew up with them. My dad was in the Justice League." He's very proud of himself for not letting his voice crack at mentioning that. His dad was part of the league but isn't now because he's dead. At least in his time. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
