boston week: part one!

[thewonderkitten.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Boston, Massachusetts! We hope you've found your accommodations to your liking. It's Christmas week, so the streets are bustling along nicely, the trees are up, and decorations line Faneuil Hall. No snow just yet, but we hope you like the 30°F weather! (Might want to bundle up.)

Even around this time of year, there's much to be done in the city -- take a gander at some of the potential attractions on your brochure and get out there to go enjoy the sights!

((Host note: I'm starting the week off easy with a general RP, but come Wednesday, expect a new post with -- gasp -- tasks! Unfortunately, I just won't be a stable enough presence to maintain what I have planned until then. So for now, get settled in and have fun!

Feel free to go all around the city -- I've outlined/summarized some key areas to hit up in the list up there. If you're stumped on somewhere to go, hit up the mod thread and I'll make sure to point you in the right direction!))

*he's exploring the children's museum with Harrison, Harrison starts to wave and approach someone else there and he gives them a small smile*

-she puts Anwen on the ground and as soon as she does she goes running over to a boy her age-

-she follows her and notices a man looking and smiling at them, since shes playing the field she thinks maybe he's single she walks over to him confidently-

Is that your son? It seems my girl has taken a shine to him.

*looks over to the woman speaking to him, giving her a small smile*

[These are the sorts of interactions that are normal for people, a smile, a wave, a blush...but they're actions that always feel so awkward for me. They're all part of a very well crafted mask that I wear. To be more like them. To hide my dark passenger.]

*he nods in response*

Yeah, that's my son, Harrison. It seems he's taken a shine to her too.

*pauses before turning to face her fully, holding out his hand*

I'm Dexter Morgan.

*when it comes to emotions, I'm always at a loss of what to do*

Oh. What'd he do?

*tries to draw a parallel, feeling it's appropriate*

We're travelling to get his mind off his mother.

Well let's just say I have a pretty odd....job....he couldn't handle it. I begged him to stay and try to work things out because of the baby but he just picked up and left no big deal.

-sighs-

Sorry I ramble too much....what about you?

*slow upward turn of the lips*

I have a fairly odd job too.

[I don't feel much, but when I talk about Rita sometimes I do still feel something strange, foreign, a twinge. Sometimes I miss her.]

*frowns slightly*

She was murdered. His mother.

[And it was my fault. My fault for being too slow, for admiring someone else like me. Now because of that, my son was born in blood, like me. He seems happy. But I probably seemed happy once too. I just hope he doesn't end up with a dark passenger to satisfy like me. No one deserves that.]
