Maybe if he just ignored consciousness, it would go away.
Aw, no. Still there.
Alex had only a spotty recollection of his latest, most supremely fail mission. However, some of the memories were so fantastical, they HAD to be dream fragments.Alex performed a breathtaking tribute to Flashdance, and everybody loved it!!! They even gave him a standing ovation and threw bouquets of paper flowers at his feet.Real - he hoped.Ashley crashed his awesome date ...Yeah, that happened. ... without eyebrows.Uh. Dream? Either that, or the truth or dare pretend curse misfired.Everybody moved to the office, and ...
A ghost unicorn stabbed Alex through the chest with its silver horn, but he didn't bleed, because his heart was missing.He stood quickly (Gawd, that hurt) and pulled up his shirt. There were no wounds to be seen. With mild relief, Alex slumped down again and crawled over to Ashley, emulating a dehydrated guy in the desert. He muttered something that sounded like:"In the name ... of the ... Father, the son ... it's been ... I don't remember since my last confession. I'm never drinking again. Are you okay? Face ... it's burned. Sunburn?"

"I have no idea what was going on last night, but I hope you are alright with what happened." Is all he says, though he taps Alex's shoulder lightly in the process. "I torched a room full of ghosts. I suppose they can burn you pretty badly if there are enough of them. Patti and I rescued three people in a building on the way here." He remarks simply, and rubs his face. It itched intensely, but when he scratched it, it hurt. His skin was dark enough he was fairly unfamiliar with being sunburned, and the irritation here was far more annoying than his actual bruises.

"You're like robocop, but a man and not a robot." Alex took a comb from le backpack o' shit and straightened his hair. Then, he changed into a spare shirt, wiped his face and hands with a blood-cleaning hanky (damp piece of cloth in a plastic bag), and inspected his face in a convenient little mirror. Ugh. Gross. Chapped lips. "I don't really know what happened last night. Maybe that's good. Did me and Kenny joust each other? Probably just dreaming ..."

"Yeah, he certainly has the fucking personality of a robot. You drank too much, flirted with a 13 year old, danced in front of El Corazon all fucking flash dance, danced with Kat and almost slept with her for some hinky fucking ritual. I think that fucking sums it up. Good fucking morning to you too." The alcohol gods had finally repaid him for his dedicated service . Good old alcohol. Micah glared a little at Ash, he wasn't impressed with this ignore Micah thing. At least he got a grunt though, maybe next time the baboon arse face would talk to him. Micah probably should be grateful for it but meh.
((My inconsiderate housemate woke me up, it's too fricken early errrgh. My head hurts already.))

Ashley just stares between them, and seems to be grateful for the explanation, and also glad he didn't have to make things worse by communicating his interpretation of whatever happened. "...I think it's time to go home." He says simply.

"Did ... did I put on a good performance, at least?" He arched his back and threw back his head in a dancerly type movement, but the motion sent pain through his braaaain.
"Ooooh it hurts."

Ashley grumbles at the thought of rituals, but he seems to have one foot out the door already.

The roundup was finished, these guys joining the others in the lobby, then walking out to the parking lot. There was a very gentle rain, and the air was cool and humid. Jordan, Jarvis, Kat, and Danielle stood outside, smiling. Jordan- "We just came to say aloha, folks. There was good and bad, but it seems like it all worked out in the end, am I right? Haha."
Seth- "Agreed, I'm really looking forward to our new arrangement!"
Cathleen- "Arrangement...?"
Jordan- "Likewise... Well, you're a fierce looking team. I'm sure you'll get home safely. We'll see you again soon, OK?"
Judy- "Hell, why not?"

Ashley tried not to frown, but trying was hard. He nodded and shepherded them all off into the morning. "New arrangement?" He asked Seth quietly, and with rapt attention. He never wanted to see these people again. Ever, but this thought he wisely kept to himself. In the street, they could hear dogs barking nearby.

((Kelly's gonna be working on the comic today and as Seth is his character and fairly involved in imminent doings, so I'm not going to advance things yet...
If you wanna RP, you can do the trip back in Seattle - The Streets - South Lake Union, then your guys can catch the tail end of breakfast at the 403 and settle in for the day. Think Ashley will probably want to visit the clinic, and both him and Patti might want to see how the peeps they rescued are doing.))

((I have one thing I want to put in on the way back on the streets, and then we can continue back for the breakfast thing))
