The Cornerian Complex

"I could answer that for ya ,but I'll let my surrogate brother answer for you." Rae replied.

[Salem]

"Yes, that's my name," the Spartan responded, "Though most call me Frosty... in no relation to the snowman." Zuko snorted at the reference. The two warriors headed to a nearby electronics store, where Zuko had to duck under the entrance frame. He looked at Zack, and his face twisted to what passed as a frown amongst the Sangheili. "Zack?" he asked. "Zack McCloud?"

Zackary looked up and asked with a chuckle,"how does every one get me mixed up with him?... no I'm Zackary Singleton."

[Kursed]

"I'm gonna go see if I can find Zack McCloud or Venessa." Rae said walking out of the shop.

[Star_Dragon]

"Oh," Zuko said. "My mistake. I'm Zuko 'Vadam - and the Spartan is my friend, Spartan-X050... otherwise known as 'Frosty'."

 

"Pleased to meet you," Frosty stated.

[Salem]

"Like wise", Zack replied

 

"not every day you see a spartan and elite... especially a spartan, I thought spartan 117-Master chief was the last one?",He added.

[StarFoxfan-FUR_ever]

The waiter clasps his hands at his waist and with a nod as he replys " not a problem and I'll bring y'all some more napkins in a minute." he walks over to an empty table and grabs the napkin dispenser, and walks back over and sets it next to Dimitri's plate. "here y'all go" he says, then walks away.

---------------------

Dimitri now done with his burger, continues to chow down on the rest of his meal, crumbs collecting in the fur around his mouth as he is slowly sobering up. Though still struggling with depth as he knocked over the dispenser and trys and fails over and over, trying to set it up right. He gets mad and just throws it across the dinner and sticks it into the wall with a loud thunk. He then looks back at his empty plate and trys to say ' dang thing' but he only mumbles and slurs the words, struggling to keep his head up off the table now.

 

"Woah there buddy woah.." Hunter tries to get Dimitri's attention back on his food as it seems his drunkeness has gotten worse again. Hunter wonders if that is even possible without drinking, but decides that Dimitri still needs more time to recuperate before he can take care of himself. He figures he should ask Dimitri where he lives just in case he needs a ride home later on. But that will have to wait it seems, as Dimitri has not taken notice of his messy face as of yet.

 

"You know, you've got a bit of something aaaaaall around your mouth right?" Hunter says in a joking manner, hoping to brighten up Dimitri's spirits. "You need any help getting around Dimitri?" He asks, hoping to get a response.

[Star_Dragon]

"Like wise", Zack replied

 

"not every day you see a spartan and elite... especially a spartan, I thought spartan 117-Master chief was the last one?",He added.

 

"Apparently not," Frosty said. "And, for the record, it's not 'Elite', it's 'Sangheili'. Sangheili still don't like being called 'Elites.""

[Jimmy Darnell]

Dimitri raises his hands up and brushes the crumbs and bits of food off from around his mouth, onto his empty plate. He then proceeds to pull out his phone and slide's it over to Hunter, so he could see the address rather than have it be mumbled and misinterpreted. On the phone's lock screen it reads '1800 barrel Drive, CDF Fort Fox, Husky Squad, room 284.I.D. Dimitri West'

Dimitri now leaned back against the wall, just mumbles a bit and messes with the silver ring on his left hand, still on his 3rd finger as he spins it with his thumb. His ears raised and his tail flicking back and forth. 

[Salem]

"Apparently not," Frosty said. "And, for the record, it's not 'Elite', it's 'Sangheili'. Sangheili still don't like being called 'Elites.""

"Oh, sorry I didn't mean to offend", Zackary apologized.

[Star_Dragon]

Zuko chuckled, "That's alright. As long as you weren't calling me that intentionally."

 

"So, tell me, mister Singleton," Frosty asked, "What brings you here?"

Hunter looks through the phone, hoping to find the number to DImitri's house. "Is anyone going to be home if I were to call up your house, Dimitri?" He asks, taking note of the ring in his friend's hand. Hunter could easily find his house no problem just by entering the address into his ship. Without waiting for an answer to the question, Hunter dials the number to Dimitri's house. The phone is answered by a woman. Unable to think of a decent way to explain what is going on, Hunter quickly gives Dimitri the phone to speak.

[Jimmy Darnell]

Dimitri takes the phone back from Hunter and holds it near his face and says "hhheelllo?"

the woman says "oh dear Dimitri, have you been drinking again?" speaking with a russian accent

"yyuuupp."

 

"Dimitri, are you OK?"

 

"yeeaah Victoria, Imm fiinne."

 

"ok, is there anyone I can talk to that will get you home SAFELY?"

 

"yyuuup," Dimitri hands the phone back over to Hunter and says "hhere, shhe needs to taaallk to yaa."

He then resume's spinning his ring again, watching and softly laughing to himself as the waiter is trying to pull the napkin dispenser out of wall. 

[Salem]

Zuko chuckled, "That's alright. As long as you weren't calling me that intentionally."

"So, tell me, mister Singleton," Frosty asked, "What brings you here?"

"The complex or the store?",Zackary asked

[Star_Dragon]

"Either one, really," Frosty said.

 

*     *     *

 

Kabier wandered into the store, and spotted Zackary. "Hi there," she said.

[Salem]

"Inspiration",Zackary replied summing it up in one word befor Kabier spoke "oh, hello", he responded.

[StarFoxfan-FUR_ever]

Dimitri takes the phone back from Hunter and holds it near his face and says "hhheelllo?"

the woman says "oh dear Dimitri, have you been drinking again?" speaking with a russian accent

"yyuuupp."

 

"Dimitri, are you OK?"

 

"yeeaah Victoria, Imm fiinne."

 

"ok, is there anyone I can talk to that will get you home SAFELY?"

 

"yyuuup," Dimitri hands the phone back over to Hunter and says "hhere, shhe needs to taaallk to yaa."

He then resume's spinning his ring again, watching and softly laughing to himself as the waiter is trying to pull the napkin dispenser out of wall. 

 

"Yeah, don't worry, I'll get him back safely. You don't have to worry about any street traffic, as I've got my own ship. I've already got the address from Dimitri. As soon as we are done, I'll bring him back as quickly as I can. You're very welcome. No don't worry, he hasn't caused any problems. Yes he's certainly quite the character. We'll see you soon- Oh right, sorry, my name is Hunter. Ok, see you later Victoria." Hunter was trying to make sure Victoria was assured they would be safe.

 

Hunter looks now back to Dimitri, who was clearly eager to go back home to see his wife. "Call me blind, I didn't notice that ring until you flashed it directly in front of me. You know, I was gonna ask why you weren't as social with the ladies at the bar before."

 

"Dimitri may seem like your run of the mill drunk, but he's an honorable guy for sure. His wife sure is lucky to have met him." Hunter thinks.

[Salem]

"Hey Rae, over here!", Zack called out from the coffee shop. 

[Jimmy Darnell]

"Yeah, don't worry, I'll get him back safely. You don't have to worry about any street traffic, as I've got my own ship. I've already got the address from Dimitri.

"Dimitri may seem like your run of the mill drunk, but he's an honorable guy for sure. His wife sure is lucky to have met him." Hunter thinks.

Dimitri stops his laughing as the waiter glares in his direction. Dimitri then turns to Hunter and says while holding up his hand with his thumb and index finger just barely separated " yyeeeahh, mayybee a weeee bbit bblinnd, annd my wholle liffe changged when I mett Victoria, andd thhee Oldd Dimitri, well letts jusst sayy mme annd myy oldd ffriennds, theyy usedd tto chhase aall thhe taail thhey coulld gett." He now has a small smile spreading across his face "I'd stay awwayy fromm thatt thoughh, I wass alwayys just a 'comme gett thiss guy offf of me' backkup." after he is done saying that, his eyes barely able to remain open and his ears flattening. just about out of it, he just stares at the cover of the booth seats, his head propped on his hand now.

[StarFoxfan-FUR_ever]

"Chase all the tail you could get, eh? Sounds like Dimitri used to be the real player." Hunter responds raising an eyebrow jokingly. "Whenever you are ready to go, just let me know and i'll be set to take you back." Hunter takes another sip of his drink, or at least tries to and hears a loud "SSSSLLLLLLRRRR" sound. "Excuse me waiter, can I get a refill?"

 

Hunter looks down at Dimitri's plate, which was still half filled with food. "The guy knows his limits it seems..."

[Star_Dragon]

Drake and Kabier wandered off into another part of the Complex, Drake stopping momentarily. "Hold on a sec... where's Amie? She was just with us."

[Jimmy Darnell]

"Chase all the tail you could get, eh? Sounds like Dimitri used to be the real player." Hunter responds raising an eyebrow jokingly. "Whenever you are ready to go, just let me know and i'll be set to take you back." Hunter takes another sip of his drink, or at least tries to and hears a loud "SSSSLLLLLLRRRR" sound. "Excuse me waiter, can I get a refill?"

Hunter looks down at Dimitri's plate, which was still half filled with food. "The guy knows his limits it seems..."

Dimitri laughs softly and says " ok, I mayy bbe readyy inn a bitt." being close to drifting off as he says it.

-----------------------

The waiter comes over and says " Yes Sir," he picks up the glass then looks over to Dimitri and asks" are you done with your meal sir?"

-----------------------

Dimitri gives the waiter a thumbs up and says " yyes siirr, I amm."

-----------------------

"ok." he picks up the plate also and walks off behind the double doors. He returns and sets down the drink and check in front of Hunter. "here ya go sir." he says to Hunter, though glareing at Dimitri as he says it. He then walks off and begins wipping down the empty tables.

[StarFoxfan-FUR_ever]

Hunter looks down at the check which the waiter handed him. "Not too bad, it's only 300 credits" He says, nodding his head while making sure Dimitri was aware of what he was saying. He then waves his hand in front of Dimitri's face to see if he would react, and it seems he does.

 

Hunter pays for the meal, and thanks the waiter for all his help.

 

"What do you think about this place? Would you consider eating here again?" Hunter asks, while holding the exit door open for Dimitri, as they leave the dinner.

[Jimmy Darnell]

As Hunter asks Dimitri the questions, he nods and somewhat says 'yes' to them, being slurred though. As Dimitri stumbles, he almost falls into a bush, but instead runs into a pole. As he is struggling to regain his balance, or atleast his stumble, he turns to look at Hunter and says ' wwhichh iis yourrs?" pointing to the few ships that were docked in the bay. Almost falling backwards as he says it.

 

[StarFoxfan-FUR_ever]

"Well since you ask..." Hunter begins, looking around for his ship. "Its basically a standard craft, with a few improvements" he said with a wink. "It looks like that dark green one over there, only smaller, and a sleeker body" he says, pointing to a standard mid-size ship with twin engines. "Mine of course has three engines, and a sleeker back wing for aerodynamics." Hunter says in a matter-of-fact tone as if Dimitri was supposed to know those details. "Let me give you a fair warning, my ship is really only meant for up to two passengers including myself, so it won't be as roomy as the standard version."

 

It seems Hunter was having trouble finding the ship, 10 minutes became 20, then 30. Getting worried, Hunter started to panic a bit.

[Jimmy Darnell]

As Hunter tells Dimitri about his ship, he tries to imagine what it looks like, but only looses the image before he can see it clearly.

His ears perk up as they get near a ship that looks like what Hunter had described, only to see that the alcohol, making his vision distort things he saw, was bluring ships together and tricking him. while he stumbles his way around, he notices numbers in front of each ships dock, then his eye's widen as he thinks of something then says to Hunter " Hunter, theyy mmay hhave rrecorrded whhere yyou dockedd yourr shiip wwhen you-" a loud THUNK is made as Dimitri bangs his head on a docked ship and falls backwards, flattening on the ground. While he lays there, he notices that it is a bit smaller that the regular ships, and the color like what Hunter had described, even having a third engine. He yells to Hunter " HHEYY KIID, ISS THHIS ITT?" pointing to the ship above him, now rubbing his head from banging it on the ship and the floor.
