Some of my roleplaying paragraphs with one of my partners, . I thought we had a good story. Brutus is in bold, Cashmere (me) is regular.
Brutus was sitting on the couch in his house, waiting for Cashmere to come over. She had been over to his house before, so she would know where his house was. But he hadn't seen her in a pretty long time, and he was actually pretty happy to be able to see her. It would be nice to be able to catch up and talk to someone and do something besides help train the kids at the training center. He got up from the couch when he heard a knock on the door, going over to open it. When he saw her, he gave her a small smile, opening the door wider and gesturing her to come in. "Long time, no see, Cashmere."
Cashmere could hear her heels clicking on the brick road. She was a block away from Brutus's home. With Gloss in his summer home in District Four, she became very lonely. She quickly accepted Brutus's offer to come visit. Cashmere stepped up to the door and knocked. The door promptly opened and she smiled. Brutus looked the same as he did when she last saw him. She smiled. "Hello Brutus," She said while stepping in and hugging him.
Brutus hugged her back, then took a step back from her, smiling. Cashmere hadn't changed a bit. Half of him almost expect her to be a completely different person, since he felt like he hadn't seen her in forever. "You walked here in those shoes?" he asked teasingly, raising an eyebrow at her heels. "Do want a drink? Or anything to eat?" he questioned, looking over his shoulder at her as he walked into the kitchen. "I pretty much have everything. And you can sit down, make yourself comfortable."
"I only walked from the train, Brutus. What? Did you think I walked from One?" she questioned, teasing him back. She liked seeing Brutus again. He always put a smile on her face. "Maybe just a glass of water," she responded, following him into the kitchen. She didn't feel like sitting down now, there was to much to talk about. "So, Brutus," she said, "how are you?"
"No, I just don't get how you could walk even two steps in those things," he joked, nodding his head as he got out two glasses and poured some water into them, handing one to Cashmere and keeping the other for himself. He took a sip, shrugging a shoulder. "I'm pretty good, I guess. District two has been pretty boring lately, so theres not much to do… How're you? What have you been up to?" he paused, then added. "Oh, and how's Gloss? I haven't seen him around in a while, either, and I haven't talk to him…"
Cashmere sighed. "How has it been boring? Don't you love mentoring tributes?" she questioned while raising an eyebrow. "I've been good, just shopping like usual. Gloss is great! He has a girlfriend and their living in their summer home in Four. I get lonely sometimes without him, but I just go back to my old house to see Orchid, Clauden, and my mother." she replies. Cashmere leans back against the counter as she takes a sip of water.
Brutus smiled a little, shrugging again. "Well, sure, mentoring is fun, but some of the kids don't listen worth shit. It goes in one ear and out the other… So that's pretty annoying. Plus it's not so much fun to mentor along with Enobaria because she seems to hate me so goddamn much," he sighed, rubbing the back of his neck and then smiling when she said that. "Life sounds pretty good for you, Cashmere. And Gloss too. I'm happy for ya. And If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm always here."
"Well it's good to know I have someone there for me other than Gloss," she smiles. she glances around the room. "What are we going to do?" she asks. Cashmere looks at Brutus, and for a second her heart flutters, but she calms it immediately knowing that he probably has a girlfriend. She embarrassedly looks at the ground.
Brutus nodded his head, giving her a smile. Of course he would be there for her if she needed anyone. "Hm, well," he paused, thinking of what to do and then laughed. "We can do whatever you wanna do. You're the guess here. Take your pick. Although, I do have to warn you, district two isn't exactly the most fun district," he said teasingly, then raised an eyebrow when she looked to him and then to the floor. She looked almost… Embarassed? But why? He tilted his head to the side, giving her a questioning look. "What is it? Something wrong?" he asked, a little concerned.
"Well, all of the Districts have their unique places, so there has to be something to do here," She said, hoping to do something fun. When he questioned her looking down she blushed. "Uh- nothing's wrong, Brutus," she mumbled, "what made you think that?" She silently told herself that he had a girlfriend over and over again in her head.
"Huh. So what's district ones special place?" he asked curiously, trying to think of some place that would be fun to go for the both of them. "I could always take you shopping. That'd be fun. I could just hold all your bags," he said teasingly, then raised his eyebrows when he saw her blush. "Did /the/ Cashmere just blush in my presence? Something must be up. Tell me what it is," he said, smiling. If she was blushing about it, then it couldnt be all that bad, right? "And the color red suits you," he said jokingly, glancing at her cheeks which were still slightly red from her blushing.
"We have a small park with cherry blossom trees everywhere," she responded, "It's quite beautiful, actually." She remembered sitting on that one cliff with Gloss when they were little. He had always kept an arm around her to make sure she didn't fall off. "I might of," she admits. He has a girlfriend. She purposely doesn't answer his last question. "The color purple would look fantastic on yourface, Brutus. You know, I am a Victor, also," she teases back and thinks about punching him in the face to leave a purple bruise, but she quickly shakes her head of the thought.
"That sounds… Nice, really," he paused, then smiled. "We have a garden here. No one ever really goes to it… But it has cherry blossom trees like the place you were talking about, and a bunch of other plants. I've only gone there once, but if you wanna go, it could be fun. There's a pond, too," he paused, looking over to her. "If you don't wanna go there, it's fine. Just an idea…" he trailed off, his smile growing. "/Might/ have? You definitely did… So you're not gonna tell me what's wrong?" he asked her, then shook his head to himself when she said that. "Yeah, right. You would never hurt me, Cash. Besides, I think the color blue looks better on me than purple," he joked. He loved joking around with Cashmere, it was fun.
"That sounds great, Brutus." she said, smiling. She loved being with Brutus. Their conversations were just so easy and casual. "A pond?" she asked. "We don't have one of those!" she exclaimed.
"Nope," she said, "my lips stay shut." She smiled, but he has a girlfriend, she thought."That's true, I would never hurt you. And I'm pretty sure purple would look better on you. I'm almost positive it would." she responded playfully.
Brutus smiled, glad that Cashmere thought it would be fun. Ponds and gardens and stuff weren't exactly his thing, but if Cashmere wanted to go, then he would go with her. "Yeah," he nodded his head. "The ponds really nice. They have fish in there. They have some that look like big goldfish…" he paused, trying to think of the name of them and snapped his fingers. "Koi fish. That's what they're called. They're nice," he laughed, then rolled his eyes at her. "Secrets don't make friends, Cash. Just remember that," he teased. "Well, maybe it would. I guess we'll never find out though, huh?" he winked at her, setting his water down on the counter.
"Big gold fish?" she asked. Her eyes became wide. She was really excited, especially because Brutus was going with her. "I can't wait!" she exclaimed.
His comment reminded her of someone. "Whatever you say, Finnick," she coughed. "And you'll find out if I ever punch you, which I won't. Good luck with that." she teased. She felt like she should tell Brutus, but he probably has a girlfriend. She smiled and looked down at her unspoken though.
