Characters: Leon and Apple
Setting: The woods near campus, evening
Content: NSFW- Drug use and language
Summary: Leon's attempting to make a homemade pipe when Apple wanders onto the scene.

The nice thing about the weekend was that he could get off campus for a little while, do some much needed shopping, like getting a gift for Avery, and a little 'pick me up'. Normally he'd have made a visit to Sim, but considering his lack of cash Leon had to think outside the box a little. That meant venturing into the muggle world, at least for now. He'd carefully cut some papers from his notebooks, making sure they were the approximate size and shape of normal U.S. currency, for conducting a bit of trail and error transfiguring. The first real test of his work had been when in one of the shops, were he'd passed off one of his fake twenties for soda.

Feeling more confident in the work he'd down, he'd left the shop and decided it was time to get to his serious shopping goals from there. From there he'd made another stop in a shop for Avery's gift, before putting more serious thought into the real reason he'd ventured out into the city. He had to admit that finding a dealer wasn't as hard as he'd thought it would have been. The hard part, really, was keeping himself from pissing on himself thanks to nerves. Most of his walk had involved nervously looking about for cops, giving people that passed him on the street suspicious, critical glares as he came nearer and nearer to a dealer's corner. Then came the whole deal of convincing the guy to sell to him, which was harder than he'd expected. Still, his nerves kept firing off, causing him to look around as he talked before quickly passing off some fake bills and pocketing his score.

The whole trip back to campus after that had been a little worse, even. Because now he wasn't just sporting the last of his faked twenties, but bag of crank as well.

But now he was back on campus, and left with the task of figuring out just what to do with this new drug of choice. The dealer had promised that the crank was a good bang for his buck, better than to cocaine, and a lot cheaper at that. Still, the problem that arouse for him was how to take it. His phone was shut off, his mother being good on her word about cutting him off completely, so there was no way to text Sim or anyone else to ask. Even if he had his phone, he supposed that asking Sim would have caused a bit of friction. He'd never bought from someone else, and how would his go to dealer take that?

So he'd taken a trip back to his room, and a quick google search before he'd ventured out into the woods to sit and think as he attempted to make his own pipe. Next time, he thought, he needed to be sure to get the fucking powder.

Apple had been on the verge of a nervous breakdown all week. With all the posts going up about missing parents and all the news he was just freaking. A few key things had set him off. Something about living in a shell, it reminded him of the myths and scary stories, the legends his father had always told them when they were kids. He researched like he always researched but Native American legends were hard to come by and he just couldn't bring himself to ask his dad to explain faerie stories to him again at such a hard time.

He kept to himself, venturing off only to see Janis or buy some green from Charlie but sitting in his room by himself wasn't helping him get his mind off things. It wasn't helping anything at all, so with his pipe and little of his stash stowed away in his pocket he walked out of Rienzi and strolled toward the woods.

As he wandered through the woods with his head in the clouds he was barely focusing on where he was going. He tripped and stumbled a little on a high raised root and barely caught himself before crashing to the ground. "Fuck," he said looking back at the root. He couldn't remember ever having tripped in these woods. His head really was out of it today. "Oh" he said realizing he wasn't alone in the woods.

"Hey," he couldn't be sure which Shaw it was, but all things considering he ventured a guess at Leon.

To say he hadn't expected to share his hiding spot would have been an understatement. He looked up and stared at Apple for a moment, almost as if he'd been caught red handed by a professor before he licked his lips and swallowed. "Uh, hi." he said a bit numbly, blinking a little. "This isn't what it looks like." Though, really, he wasn't entirely sure what it did look like.

Rubbing his nose, he set his make shift pipe down on his lap. "So....uh, what are you doing out here?" No one had reported him missing again, had they? If they had, he was probably well and truly fucked.

Apple grinned and plopped down on the ground next to him. "I'm out here more than most people," he admitted. "Not always on my best behavior," he admitted fishing out his pipe. "I was just gonna smoke a little if you were interested in joining," he figured he was going to smoke something considering the make-shift pipe in his hands.

It was a strange sort of peace offering but Apple figured this would get him on good terms with him before he brought up Janis.

He had to admit that weed wasn't really his drug of choice, but he wasn't sure it mattered at this point. Shrugging he nodded a little, "sure." It wasn't like one high was worse than the other at this point. Just wasn't as great.

"Can't hurt, I guess." He offered up, leaning back against a tree as he chewed on his lip. So, this was the kid Janis was dating. He couldn't say he was surprised, though. He looked like someone that would have the same sort of weird lifestyle that Janis would have been drawn to.

Apple lit up happily and after his first drag he passed his pipe and lighter. He let out a long puff of smoke and leaned against a log. "Leon right?" he asked. "How ya doin these days?"

"Yeah, Gael doesn't partake of the...green." At least, as far as he knew his brother steered clear of all drugs. He took the pipe though, and lit the bowl before inhaling deeply. As he held his breath, though, he eyed Apple a bit skeptically. Did he really just ask that?

"I'm alive," he muttered, smoke slowly trailing out of his lungs as he spoke. "You?"

"Good to know man, I won't bring a peace pipe offering for him," he grinned remembering his conversation with Janis.

"Been better," he said honestly. "My mom went missing," he took back the bowl and lit it again, holding his breath longer this time and letting the smoke out slowly. "Jan's about the only good thing in my life right now," he admitted with a little chuckle passing the bowl over again. "Shit's fucked man."
