People Watching (Closed)
who: Alexander Pierce & Jefferson
what: Two strangers come together because of mutual appreciation for tea and creeping on people.
when: During the Sempremi event
where: Busy public park
warnings: Creepin'
[With no need for love or celebrations of it, Pierce took some time out of his day to perform a simple but pleasurable task. He packed up a backpack with a few necessary supplies, a rolled up blanket settled on top and headed out into the safe environment of Riverview to one of his favourite parks where people were known to stroll, chat and perform activities like frisbee to their own amusement.
He wasn't much for park benches. He wasn't much for taking the same spot every time he came here.
However, as always, he laid out his embroidered blanket and unpacked his supplies. A thermos of warm tea, a cup and saucer, a small bottle of milk, a spoon, his cross-word puzzle book and a pen. He poured his tea with unwavering hands and set the saucer on his folded knee where he had crossed his legs. He set his puzzle book on the other and began the usual pleasantness of people watching.
That group might have been doing some form of alien yoga. Over there, a group of youngsters were laughing and pushing each other; he suspected some drug use but no matter. There were a few people who were power walking, setting a brisk pace on the paths. Others in twos or more meandered and chatted, some pausing the smell the flowers in the gardens. There was a larger percentage of smitten people in the park, and while love was entertaining, it was also very predictable.
He stirred his tea with one hand and scribbled an answer in his puzzle book with the other, pausing only long enough to watch a few more people and assess their activities.]
