[If it gets past the 4th ring and he doesn't pick up it will go to answering machine.]

This is Claudio. Leave a message and I'll get back to you if I can.

[he leaned back and waited for the boy to get in, looking to mirrors to make sure critters weren't around. It would be light soon enough and he wasn't too worried. But still]

[as for ignoring him? those were the days that Claudio tried to bother the boy the most]

[Today really wasn't one of them how ever. He was rather deadpan as well]

Not mine this time around. yesterday was another story. Told ya... had a loon in at work I needed to deal with.

Where to?

Actually end up getting food yet?

[As he climbs in the car, the vaguely grey thing he had going to keep the creepy crawlies at bay disappears like a light flickering out, and a moment later his eyes snap back to blue as if they were never any different.]

This time around. [There's a beat where Trauma just stares at him as if that's going to magically make the answer appear.]....Do I want to know?

[action]

[thecrowingtobe]

Not yet. I was about to do that before that last text came in. Hungry?

[Claudio is getting used to the grey thing and isn't even really bothered by it anymore. It happens, and he knows why too. He also notices that Trauma has gotten better at that shit...]

Yeah. It's been a long, weird repeating day. [he rubbed the sleeve on his pants leg, as if that would take care of it] Just some crazy outside the theatre. Starts yelling at the same time each day now. Throwing a fit. Got the drop on me the first few times. Not this time.

[Not as bad as the woman, the pyro and the gun he'll try (once more) to stop. Yet again. That... he's not talking about.]

Got the-....[] ......And, suddenly, the past few dys make so much more sense. Damn it, Claudio. He sighs heavily, and rolls his eyes because, really about half of his 99 problems are him.....or at least they would be if you asked him at the moment.]

.....Do I want to know?

[ there's a moment where he clearly debates pushing the subject, but decides not to in favor of not getting on the 'your vigilantism as a way of dealing with your issues is a bad idea' argument track again. ]

Food's a good idea.

[yeah it's been a really weird few day7s, okay.]

I doubt it. I know the lecture by now anyhow.

[He took off down the street, speeding past a blob of weird gunk trying to swollow someones poor abandoned motorcycle.]

What cha want. My treat, not that it will matter. I'll get that money back tomorrow.

If it's that predictable I'll try to get more creative with the lecture.

[best part is, he's probably serious and he may or may not have a literal list somewhere of things he can include in said lecture. Probably in that weird little chicken scratch book he's got. He's damn lucky no one can read his handwriting or better, that there stopped trying.]

That's... Almost depressing.

[A beat]

Chinese?

[action]

[the_crowing]

Sure. I like a new twist on the lectures. Keeps it worth getting myself in trouble.

[said completely flat and--as Chinese was said, he hit hte next street and made a left, not bothering with the light as the light was being chewed on by some mynock looking creature.]

What should be depressing to you is tomorrow you'll be back in that office chair like nothing happened. I bet you.

[action]

[mademyhell]

Could always try not getting in trouble. 'S a thought.

[there's a beat]

Don't remind me. I'm not looking forward to it. Aside from getting to try quitting again.

[He puts his knees up against the dashboard and watches the monsters out the window. ]

....Hate being stuck like this.
