Omega19x: *Ryou is waiting for Malik, in the front lobby of the hospital. He was released earlier while Malik went to... run an errand?*
ph33r my rod: *enters the hospital after the whole Ghost confrontation and a little bit of time to himself*
Omega19x: "... oh, there you are! ... I...I was hoping you'd get back soon... I missed you."
ph33r my rod: *walks over to Ryou is still obviously a little angry, but tries not to show it* "Yeah... sorry about that."
Omega19x: *hugs*
ph33r my rod: *hugs him back, calming down a bit*
Omega19x: "... I'm... able to go home now."
Omega19x: *as if you couldn't tell from him being in normal street clothes and out of the hospital room*
ph33r my rod: "Good... you wanna get going?" *able to smile a little*
Omega19x: "oh yes..."
Omega19x: "Getting home sounds like a... a wonderful idea..."
ph33r my rod: "Okay, let's go then..."
Omega19x: *magical gohomelapse*
ph33r my rod: *fwee*
Omega19x: *smiles, being glad to be home*
ph33r my rod: *flops down on the couch, just LOOKING glad to be home*
Omega19x: *picks up the mail on his way in, sorting through it*
Omega19x: "Oooh, a new issue of Cream Puffs Monthly!" *smiles* "I... I was waiting for the new one."
ph33r my rod: *blinks, then smiles* "...that is just like you, subscribing to a cream puff magazine."
Omega19x: "This month has recipes for coconutty puffs, lemon puffs, and even has tips on how... how to keep your puffs cool for summer picnics!"
Omega19x: (just a random excuse to insert the word 'Cream Puff' into another part of life)
Omega19x: "... not too much else here... Oh... I... I have another letter..."
Omega19x: *blink*
ph33r my rod: *blinks* "Who
ph33r my rod: (( ksljdlk ))
ph33r my rod: "Who's it from?"
Omega19x: "I... I don't know... It looks like it's from... out of the country."
ph33r my rod: *blinkblink* "It's not from Okrah, is it?"
Omega19x: "No... this postmark is... from... Belgum, I think."
Omega19x: "Okrah is from America."
ph33r my rod: "... Who would be sending you mail from Belgium?"
Omega19x: "I have no idea..."
Omega19x: *opens it*
Omega19x: "... whoever they are, they think I'm a girl, though... This letter is addressed to Ms. Ryou Bakura."
ph33r my rod: *FACEPALM* "Of course."
Omega19x: *reads*
Omega19x: "... Malik! It's from... remember that... that terrible modeling... thing... that Mokuba had me go to... to embarrass me?"
ph33r my rod: *blinkblinkblink* "...what?"
Omega19x: "It's from their European... people. They're... oh my... u...using my photo for an ad campaign.... in Belgum."
Omega19x: "To sport their... upcoming 'Angel' line... this fall..."
ph33r my rod: "........... Wait, wait, wait. Those guys who were all like 'but this is a girls' auditon' are actually using the photos you had done?"
Omega19x: "... th...that's what it says..."
ph33r my rod: "... ... ... Holy shit."
Omega19x: "unless this... this is some trick from Mokuba..."
Omega19x: "They even included one... one of their brochures..."
Omega19x wants to directly connect.
Omega19x is now directly connected.
Omega19x:
Omega19x: (can you open that?)
ph33r my rod: (( Yeah, if I right click on it. AIM hates pngs. D8 ))
Omega19x: "... Th..that's me... all right... From the photoshoot that day... I... I remember it..."
ph33r my rod: *blinks and looks at it* "Wow, that's... you look nice."
Omega19x: *blush*
Omega19x: ".. .r...really?"
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Not that you don't all the time, but... yeah."
Omega19x: "... I... I was so embarassed, though... and... and the shirt comes up higher than yours... and... at least they wanted 'natural' looks, without makeup... I... I swear I didn't even know it was a girls audition..."
ph33r my rod: "Well... I'm sure you looked better than all of the girls there put together."
Omega19x: *blush blush*
Omega19x: "... you're just... s..saying that..."
ph33r my rod: "No, I really mean it." *pulls Ryou into a hug, if only because he needs a Ryou!hug*
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: "... they... said they'd keep in... in touch... Though, they said they might need to take more photos..."
Omega19x: "... um... Malik... if they do... um... They're going to find out I'm not a girl!"
ph33r my rod: "... Didn't they know that already?"
Omega19x: "... These Belgan people don't... don't seem to."
ph33r my rod: "Oh... you mean they didn't tell them?" *blink* "Weird."
Omega19x: "I... I don't know..."
Omega19x: "Maybe they... they're like that in Belgum... I don't know..."
Omega19x: "Maybe this is just... one big mistake."
ph33r my rod: "...I don't think so. If they do find out you're a guy, then so what? They'll probably still use your pictures. The Japanese branch wouldn't have sent them off to Belgium if they didn't think you'd work for the ad."
Omega19x: "... I guess... I..." *pauses, as he opens the last bit of the letter. There's something stapled to the page*
Omega19x: "..." *blink blink blink*
ph33r my rod: "...?"
Omega19x: "... It's... it's a ... a ch..check."
ph33r my rod: *looks at it*
Omega19x: "they're paying me for the ad..."
Omega19x: (we'll call it the equivalent of... $10,000)
ph33r my rod: (( ...so that'd be about a million yen. Niiiiice. ))
Omega19x: "... payment includes... any future photos they need... for... for this ad campaign..."
Omega19x: "... Malik... th...this could... h..help us buy that house."
Omega19x: "... it would be... a good rent until one of us gets a job..."
Omega19x: *smile*
ph33r my rod: "...holyshit." *nodnodnod* "Maybe we could just buy it outright instead of just renting it..."
Omega19x: (not with that tiny amount.)
ph33r my rod: (( Oh. Okay, maybe not. ))
Omega19x: *jumps into Malik's arms*
ph33r my rod: (( Wasn't sure how much the house itself was. XD ))
Omega19x: (but they could be looking at about 6 months rent)
Omega19x: (maybe 8-10 months at a good rate)
ph33r my rod: (( Oh good, they'll definitely have jobs by then. XD ))
ph33r my rod: *holds Ryou tightly, all of his earlier problems suddenly seeming a lot smaller*
Omega19x: (that's just rent, mind you. They could probably live off of it for about 4-5 months, I think.)
Omega19x: *smiles, and hugs his Malik*
ph33r my rod: *biiiiig smile!*
Omega19x: "... Wow! This... this is amazing! We... we can move to that house!"
Omega19x: *smiles smiles smiles*
Omega19x: (on screen, cuz smiling hurts right now)
ph33r my rod: *nodnod* "And we won't have to have Isis help us out or anything..."
Omega19x: "It's a wonderful start!"
Omega19x: "which is just what we needed most."
ph33r my rod: "Yes. And we got it. That's just..." *grins, just hugging Ryou*
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: (pst, will you put that little angel pic online, so I can hotlnk it in the journal?)
ph33r my rod: (( Yeah. *goes to upload* ))
ph33r my rod: (( Though if you just want a nice free place to stick stuff in the future, tinypic.com is good. It allows hotlinking up the wazoo. ))
ph33r my rod: (( http://pikachan.lardpirates.com/dolls/angelkura.png ))
Omega19x: (ooh, tinypic.com. will do.)
ph33r my rod: (( Yep. Only problem is, you can use track of the URLs if you don't keep them written down somewhere. ))
ph33r my rod: (( *lose, not use O.o ))
Omega19x: (heh)
Omega19x: (and on that note, I really need to hit the hay. I'm tired, and the pain is going down a bit. It's not literally throbbing right now.)
ph33r my rod: (( Okay, night~ X| ))
