I was thinking that maybe Gerin and Zak could go from the bar to their respective houses, and possibly start working on their ship the next day or so?
Just so they could prepare for their mission, after being told of course. ^^;

Sorry if this post seems a little off, its been a long day and I'm still recovering from a physical test at school. Lots of running and side cramps. xD

Yeah, like, maybe they have to pack or something. And I'm assuming they'd both bring their pets on board the ship once it was time to move in. What do you think?

Sure, that would be fine. :3
I like the ideas of pets, maybe as someone to confide in later on. xD

Well Gerin's cat won't be allowed to eat Zak's rat. His cat will protect his rat. -Nods- Because Bug and Lady are friends. <3

What are your ideas?

Well, he's gonna be really fucked up for at least a couple days. I was thinking maybe he would avoid Romeo, and then they could meet by accident, Gavin will agree to see him and Romeo would be to pick him up after work in a few days, but Gavin won't be there.

But Gavin wouldn't have known that he wouldn't be there. I was thinking he could leave his job.

Also! I'm very proud of myself, I finally posted something in the literature forum. The first thing I posted there is about Gavin! -Does a little dance- You're welcome to go read it if you want. =D

But, what do you think of my ideas?

Oh sweet! I'll look for the piece in the literature section (unless you wanna make it easy and just send me a link). But if it's within Gavin's character to shut down like that after a lot of emotional stress then I'd say go for it. I think it would really only work if Gavin called Romeo up out of the blue sometime after he wasn't at work when he was supposed to be. ((Is hoping that Gavin finds a better job with people that don't treat him like shyte.))

Well, I don't know if it's in Romeo's character to pursue him by going to his apartment or not to find out what was up. Is it safe to assume that he'd at least go inside the building to see if Gavin was still there but only being held up? Because then he could find out that Gavin go sacked.

And yes, it's in Gavin's character to shut down after such heavy emotional stress. Especially because he'll be having nightmares and thinking about it for days on end, possibly weeks.

And I think you're capable of finding the thread yourself. XP It's in the main literature forum.

I already did. ^.^ Well only thing is... unless Gavin decides to dissapear forever then Romeo's not going to know where he went to unless he's actually home when Romeo decides to persue that route after finding out that he's been sacked. Or Gavin eventually calls/shows up at that park during lunch.

Romeo will be patient for at least a week or so... he's not the kind of person to turn super-stalker as soon as someone dissapears. LOL!

Gavin would be at home, because he's terrified at the thought that he's going to lose the only place he has to go to.

I have a feeling Romeo's going to end up being evil in a good way soon... >.>;;

You mean making Gavin live with him? XD

*Rolls into thread*
*Waits to continue with discussion about ruins, etc.* :3

Well, I was thinking of somehow letting Gerin know that the thing Zak wants most in the universe is to go back to Earth at least once more. And then possibly present them both with an opportunity to go to Earth together.

I was thinking maybe having several other pilots and copilots rent a shuttle to go to Earth for a week and two people backed out but it was already paid for anyways so they invite Gerin and Zak along, but Zak refuses to go, even though there's nothing he wants more.

Maybe Gerin could go or something, that's up to you. But if he questions Zak later, Zak will get a little emotional saying that he can't go back to Earth because his body can't handle another atmospheric/gravity change and he's been warned that if he ever leaves the planet his body will give out and he'll die.

Because Zak's terrified of dying, or else he would've gone back to Earth as soon as he was a legal adult.

What do you think? Or am I planning too far ahead?

No, no, planning ahead is excellent, it gives us both something to build up to. :3

I love the idea about the shuttle, and how Gerin could go to Japan, like he wanted to for a long time.

And by emotional, do you mean while Gerin is away? Or before the trip altogether?
If before, maybe Gerin could comfort Zak and promise him that he won't let anything happen?

I meant after the trip, actually, because Zak will just shut himself off and pretty much just tell him to have a good time, obviously not mean it, and then be unavailable for anyone to find until a while after Gerin comes back.

Maybe they'll have an apartment together at the facility for when they're not on missions. I just have this image of Gerin coming back and telling Zak that he was home, and Zak being an asshole and ignoring him.

Okay, I like that idea, but what would Gerin talk to him about whilst the asshole stage is being completed? xD

I dunno. We could kinda just have Zak ignore him and Gerin could just try to get him to talk. Not sure yet. But that's not gonna happen for a while, I don't think.

I feel they need to get to know each other better.

Oh, in that case, should we start posting again, until we reach the ruins? And the signs of alien life?

Then we could see where we go from there with the apartment and missions and such, this way we'll be able to let them get to know each other better. ^^

Yeah. I was wondering how far out you felt the ruins should be, etc. I want to know your ideas about them before we continue on. After all, it was your suggestion. ^_^

Okay, I was thinking that maybe they could go on foot and maybe explore the insides, look at a few of the alien machines and objects, and then maybe hear something?

Then they could seek refuge in the ship, before going any further south, towards the alien city. :3

Basically, stick their tails between their legs and fly home to the facility because they're scared? XD

-Toddles in-

owo Cricket, if we bring Insanity back, people will look at this thread and be like, "wtf?" with all the crap we'll come up with. xD

I guess you could say that, but mostly they could just stay inside the spaceship and hide, maybe not even hide, but maybe.. uhm.
Take a break from creepy alien noises. xDD

Ryuu: Maybe I should link to the location of the fic of doom on fictionpress, then. So they can have the backstory. :3

Silver: I'm getting so many stereotypically dirty thoughts about that... :rofl:
