[OPEN] And I found that 'round here, in this city, that I won't disappear
WHO: Matthew Lynch and YOU
WHERE: In and around De Chima, primarily
WHEN: All throughout April
WHAT: Burly golden teenager cheerfully roams around De Chima, looking for friends probably
WARNINGS: The only warning attached to Matthew is stupid cuteness, but I'll update this if it becomes necessary.
I.
[ The law firm where Matthew interns has a huge case in the works, deadlines out the wazoo, and he volunteered to stay quite late the night before to help out. (In all honesty, he's still not very good at his job, but most of his co-workers--lawyers, secretaries, and the other paralegals--have become so fond of him; he's essentially the office comfort object, and they didn't mind to have him around in the middle of the panic.)
He didn't mind to be there, either, but it cost him a fair bit of sleep. Matthew is the good kind of kid who gets a healthy eight hours every night, and when that doesn't happen, well. It may result in the current situation: an accidental nap, in public, in the middle of the afternoon.
He's draped over a bench, his head pillowed dreamily on his folded arms, and it's hard to tell if it looks more like he fell there or was placed. He's a very sound, peaceful sleeper, not even stirring when a little sparrow lands in his hair and start plucking gently at his soft curls with its tiny sparrow beak. ]
II.
[ Matthew was headed somewhere, probably, but then he got distracted. This is not an uncommon thing for him, especially when animals are involved. Yesterday it was an ungrateful turtle that he rescued from the side of the road, today it's a rather flirtatious stray cat who keeps rubbing against his ankles only to dart away when he tries to pet her.
So he's given up on petting her, and is now just trying to get a decent picture on his phone. This is also proving difficult, but he's become very single-minded, straying well off of his original course in his attempts. ]
Come on, stay still for a second.
[ There's laughter in his voice as he clambers down a small, grassy hill, his eyes fixed on his phone for the most part except when he glances up to be sure he knows where she's going. Ever the tease, she pauses to look over her shoulder with a low murr-ow, and he hurries to snap another picture but nope, she's already turning away and the photo ends up a blurry mess. He continues to follow her, undeterred, hopping a ditch and somehow managing to land safely on the other side despite the fact that he is only barely looking at where he's going. ]
III.
[ Sometimes Matthew displays an utter lack of self-awareness--for example, he has yet to notice the little smudge of bird poop on the sleeve of his jacket. (That would be an unintentional courtesy of Ronan's powers. His brotherly affection, whether he wants it on display or not, makes Matthew a veritable magnet for tweeting songbirds when they are together. Birds, it turns out, poop a lot!)
But Matthew is also a fifteen-year-old boy, and as such there are times when he cares particularly to look and smell nice, like at church and in social situations where a good impression is required. So he's hitting up some of De Chima's more expensive clothing stores, indulging in the taste for nicer things that comes with having a multi-million dollar trust fund in another world. Of course, in this world, all he's got to spend is his own paycheck, so he'll actually have to exercise some discernment.
Care to be his shopping buddy? ]
