The Roof, Monday evening

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter was sitting on the edge of the roof idly juggling chunks of metal he had from one of his trips to the junkyard. Add in occasional sips from his thermos, cigarette lighting and replacement, and the juggling had the occasional higher difficulty rating.

It was something to do with his hands that wouldn't have Nadia asking him who he'd been beating up this time.

Nadia wandered up to the roof with her guitar after talking with Bridge.

It had kind of made her feel better, but mostly not. She hated seeing anyone, especially a sweetheart like Bridge, that down.

"Oh, hey. I didn't think anyone would be up here."

"I don't know why you'd think that," Walter said, keeping the chunks moving. "There's always someone up here."

"Yeah, but half the time that someone is me." Nadia found herself a nice spot and started tuning the guitar. "Having fun?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." Walter shifted to one hand and had a sip from his thermos. Definitely showing off, but that's nothing new. "Or something like it. How are you today? Any news?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I talked to Bridge."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Yes? What came of that?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Mostly . . . he apologized a lot."

Walter set his juggling "balls" aside and lit a new cigarette. "I think I'm missing some of the story here."

[nadiathesaint]

"Right. I meant to tell you last night after radio. Bridge was possessed. And whatever was in him . . . used his powers to . . . make people do stuff."

"And you said that Bridge was who you were talking to before... Ah." Well, that made an unfortunate amount of sense. "How is Bridge now?" Hopefully it hadn't taken shooting him to free him.

[nadiathesaint]

"Well, he's not in the clinic." But that didn't mean he was okay. "He's really upset."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I understand the feeling," Walter said with a rare piece of actual empathy. "How are people treating him?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I think everyone has been pretty understanding. But I also think he's been hiding. I don't know who else he . . . the thing . . . did that to."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"He'll need some time, I'd guess." It sucked, but he was glad for a definite explanation. "But this is the place to be for people to be understanding."

[nadiathesaint]

"Considering how many people around here have been possessed or evil . . . yeah, definitely."
