Room 203, Friday most of the day

[stykera]

Stark's room was packed up. Stark did not want his room to be packed up. Being packed up meant he was now left with an even emptier than normal room. He did not want that, either. That might have been why he kept unpacking and repacking one bag at a time. Or that might have been an excuse to stay in his room longer, in the hope that he would see people. Or it might have just been Stark being his not entirely sane self. It was hard to tell.

He was fairly certain that anyone who might care he was leaving knew that this was when he was doing so. He hoped so, at least. He wanted to be able to say goodbye, and any company would have the added benefit of perhaps distracting him for a few moments. He was tired of goodbyes. But not getting to say a goodbye at all was always worse. He knew that all too well. He would take the goodbyes over the alternative, but he'd rather not have to do either.





[Meant to get this up earlier, but work and life got in the way. Repeatedly. SP is everyone's friend. Really.]

Morning

[stykera]

In case you would like to visit an emo alien in the AM.

Phoebe took a break from her own emoing to come visit

Re: Morning

[stykera]

Maybe their emos would cancel each other out?

"Hello Phoebe."

Re: Morning

[sensethevisions]

"Hello, Stark."

Re: Morning

[stykera]

"I'm glad you came by," Stark said. "Wouldn't want to miss a goodbye to you."

Re: Morning

[sensethevisions]

"I wouldn't want to miss a goodbye to you, either." She gave him a sad smile. "I'm going to miss you, Stark."

Re: Morning

[stykera]

"I'll miss you too," Stark replied. "And I'm sorry I didn't see you more this summer." He was sorry about not seeing more of most people this summer, really. But it was too late now.

Re: Morning

[sensethevisions]

"It's alright. I'm just glad we were around."

Afternoon

[stykera]

For anyone wanting to visit an emo alien in the PM.

Anders managed to pry himself away from what he was doing in the kitchen upstairs long enough to come down and knock on Stark's door.

He might have had a large box hidden (not so well) behind his back.

Re: Afternoon

[stykera]

Stark got up from repacking a bag for what he thought was the 4th time today and went to the door.

"Anders." And a box. Ooh.

Re: Afternoon

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Whereas yesterday he'd told Tori that she wasn't allowed to go, all the fight seemed to have gone out of Anders today.

"Hey, Stark. Couldn't send you off without one last batch," he said dispiritedly, holding the box out.

If he looked like he'd been crying on and off all day, he was.

Re: Afternoon

[stykera]

"You brought cupcakes," Stark said. He even managed a smile. Not a big one, but it was still a smile. "I thought I might have to go back without any. Thank you."

Re: Afternoon

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Stark." Anders was trying for a chiding tone, but he wasn't selling it too well. "Would I be mean enough to do that to you?"

Re: Afternoon

[stykera]

"Distracted enough, maybe," Stark suggested. "Not mean. I know that. But you had enough to think about, I think."

Re: Afternoon

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Making cupcakes is something I don't really have to think about," Anders replied with a weak chuckle. "It was a good distraction for a little while, and these are pretty special, just for you."

Re: Afternoon

[absolutesnark]

Summer heard Stark was leaving today, so she was there knocking on the door.

Re: Afternoon

[stykera]

And there was Stark, answering the door.

"Hello Summer."

Re: Afternoon

[absolutesnark]

"Hey Stark," Summer said, giving a small smile. "Heard you were leaving and someone wanted to say goodbye."

She glanced down at the bunny she was holding.

Re: Afternoon

[stykera]

The bunny, apparently, was enough to get a grin out of Stark.

"She did, did she?" He bent down a little to address the bunny herself. "Thank you Pancakes. I appreciate that."

Re: Afternoon

[absolutesnark]

Pancakes twitched her nose in response. "I think she's going to miss you."

Summer smiled sadly. "She's not the only one."

Re: Afternoon

[stykera]

Stark reached a hand out to pat the bunny on the head, then looked up at Summer.

"Thank you," he said again. "I will miss you. And your bunny."

OOC

[stykera]

Actually, I only put up OCD because this will be my last chance to do so in the forseeable future. Is that bad?

Re: OOC

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

No, not at all! :(

Can I still send Adam by, even though technically Stark has left all ready? Please? :D

Re: OOC

[stykera]

SP is a thing we all love. Of course. ;)
