"Oh?" Aspen exclaimed, shocked. He quickly stood and wiped the tears from his eyes, plastering a smile to his face and opening the cash register, pretending to count his earnings. "I'm fine, just closing up."
Roleplay ^-^
"Your not fine. You have tears in your eyes.", Oyoyo said sternly. "You can tell me anything you know."
Aspen sat back down and remained silent for a few minutes before replying. "No one cares I exist. I thought Jay would be different, and he stood me up. Now I have no dinner plans. On top of that, I got evicted from my apartment, my Land Rover just broke down, and no matter how much I try to reconnect with my parents they just flat-out ignore me. It's like there's nothing to actually hope for anymore. I have nothing. Nobody would care if I just left in the middle of the night, if they would even notice at all." He turned to face Oyoyo, tears pouring down his face once again like blood from an open wound. "Except for you, and I only met you yesterday. I'm worthless! I may as well be in the dumpster out back with yesterday's sandwiches I spent 3 hours making. No one even cares enough that I do spend 3 hours a day making stupid deli wraps that no one ever buys anyway!! What's the point anymore?"
"Y'know what?, Come with me", Oyoyo said. "I'm gonna take you to see the new Black Panther movie. Tickets are on me. Will that make you feel better?" She had no idea what she was doing, but she would do just abut anything at the moment to make Aspen happy, even for a moment.
"Wh-what? Umm, okay. Sure." Aspen locked the moneybox and gave himself one last sweeping glance across the cafe before turning back to her, jaw set in resignation. "Okay, let's go then."
Oyoyo just wanted to make Aspen happy. She wondered how weird it was to take someone she just meet the day before to the movies. She decided she was just desperate for friends, because secretly…she felt like Aspen did about his life.
Aspen watched Oyoyo with newfound respect. Maybe people weren't all bad after all.
"Do you want me to take you? I only own a motorcycle, but it would be good exercise to walk there.", Oyoyo asked. She was actually looking forward to the movie. Oyoyo really hoped they could be friends.
"M-motorcycle!?" Aspen stammered. He'd broken his wrist on his stepfather's motorcycle. They were terrifying.
"We can walk if you like", Oyoyo said. She wondered if Aspen was afraid of motorcycles. Truth be told, she was a little anxious about driving cars. Her only true friend had died in a car crash and she vowed she would never drive a car. She opened her wings and a devilish smile spread across her face. "Or we could fly?"
"Woah!! I forgot you could do that!!" Without any sort of hesitation, Aspen leapt onto Oyoyo's back, grinning from ear to ear.
"Yes! I guess we're fly'n!" Hope you don't mind if I go a little crazy", she said. Oyoyo hoped she didn't freak him out. She was also a little flattered that Aspen trusted her to fly him safely to the movie theater. Oyoyo jumped up and speedily flew off.
"Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee (don't ask :P)
Oyoyo was pleased that Aspen was enjoying his ride to the movie theater. "Whenever I feel depressed I just go for a fly", Oyoyo shouted over the wind as she raced to the theater. She quickly did a flip in the air. "The crazier, the better."
"I can see how it helps!!" Aspen shouted over the gusts of wind that assailed them. "This is amazing!!!!"
"Fly with me anytime you like", Oyoyo said. "I guess you could say some people don't get to experience this everyday." The movie theater was just in the distance. She almost didn't even want to land. Oyoyo always felt like her worries were miles away in the sky. She felt like she had everything she didn't have when flying.
(Omg how do I fix that? Poor Aspen! But Jay isn't a bad person!!)
(goodnight y'all!)
(G'night!)
(Is there any way I can join :3 This is the first time I've even posted something on the discussion page, I'm kinda new to this site)
(Would love for you to join! This is a furry RP/anthro. Go ahead and tell us who your character is, what species they are, and what they look like, before starting! Time of day is shortly after the coffee shop closed)
(Great! :3 I've never made an anthro character but I'll make one now and develop him as it goes. I won't be able to actually be in the rp till tomorrow though)
(Ok I'm thinking my character could be a wolf with grey and blue fur, possibly named Cobalt?? Or maybe Azure… Idk)
(Not a problem!)
(Ok, thanks :3 I'll actually enter my character somewhere in the rp sometime tomorrow when it's most convenient)
(Looking forward to it! Jay has an old ref in a link earlier in the RP, I think the reason he didn't make it to the date was because he got pulled into a gang shootoff, and got injured but he doesn't want to tell Aspen about it. If you wanna be in the Brass Monkey's gang, or even a rival, do what you want!)
Jay had made a reservation at a not-too-fancy but pretty nice place a couple blocks from the cafe. He had hoped to stop by just to make sure that the restaurant would be ready. Before he got there, actually, right when he left, Jay was stopped. "Jay," the guy said, a bulldog with a big body and tired looking eyes pulled him into an alleyway by the collar of his button-up. "We've got trouble, and since it's gang business, you're helping. Jay panicked. No, he couldn't! He had plans tonight! Tell him you have a date.. Could he? "Bosler. I can't, I have somewhere to be tonight;" He stopped following the bigger, much burlier man, making a turn to leave. The guy gripped his wrist an jerked him forward, "Don't be actin' soft on me, you lug, the Brass Monkey's need your aim." It was a shootout. No. He begrudgingly was half-dragged to a loud scene, with gunshots, screaming, and sirens. He pulled out his handgun instinctually, leaning his shoulder against the roof of the car.
"Look, I don't know what's going on here' but I've got–" The sound of a ricochet blasted against a brick wall, and the sound of shattering glass pushed him back and with a wild pain, he held his arm. "GAH," he screamed, the bulldog turning his attention, and grumbling, "Get out of here! Find a hospital." He added as Jay ran, "Boss is going to want to see you." He couldn't even think about what the man would think of this.
(aww poor Jay!! We went to see a movie and he's injured oof)
(XD It's his own fault for being in a gang)
(what if they run into him on the way to the movies?)
