A | HEROPA RESIDENCE #011

[ He's in hell. It starts out alright, between the government support and the superpowers, but things start to go downhill right around "shared housing".

Cutler moves in quickly and quietly, and from then on he tries very hard to keep to himself. He leaves early, comes back late, and whenever he hears someone else moving about in the house he's quick to look very busy on his mobile and avoid conversation.

When it becomes clear he won't be moving out right this second, however, it occurs to him that maybe he shouldn't be acting like a total freak. So the next time he steps out of his room and runs into someone, he makes the executive decision of pocketing his phone and offering a hand in greeting, instead. ]

Cutler. Nick Cutler. I don't think we've been properly introduced.

B | CAFE (ANY CITY)

[ So it isn't an ideal job, exactly, but the editor part of it's easy to latch on to. That's slick, that's professional. There's an image that goes with it, precision and savvy and control, and that's actually reasonably appealing — it's just the erotic fiction part of the title that's taking some getting used to.

That doesn't stop Cutler from diving right into the image, haunting coffee shops day in and day out, camping out at a corner table with a laptop and a suitcase full of manuscripts and looking altogether important and very busy.

He orders drinks, just for the sake of not being a dick, but he never touches them. They sit on the table and go cold, and then he tips the waiter generously so they won't chase him off next time he shows up to lay claim to a corner of their shop. Hardly the weirdest thing people get up to in cafes; he's guessing people will assume quirky, not vampire.

The reading alternates between incredibly dull and incredibly baffling, and during some of the more extremely baffling moments it's easy to catch him squinting incredulously at the screen, or a sheet of paper (but also very intently, for the record). ]

What?

[ No seriously, what. He's not entirely sure that's possible, and he's been around the internet. ]

C | WILD CARD

[ Choose your own adventure! Write a starter and I'll find a way to toss him in, or run into him on the street. He's usually absorbed in his mobile, so he might literally run into you. You can also comment here/PM me and we can plan something out. ]
