[PRP] Two Unimpressed People (Chel/Shun) [FIN]

[chiickadee]

Chel actually called him this time. She was sat on her own couch not three doors away, but she didn't feel like getting up at the moment. She was kind of sore.

Shun's phone rang.  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun checked his phone, then answered, "What do you want, Chel?"

Well. He had a small idea. Her calling him often meant she wanted to spend the night. Still, he had to ask anyway.

"You hear about the new haunted house or whatever?"

Decidedly not asking for sex. Although with Chel you never really knew.  

[Blade Kuroda]

"You are going to need to be more specific than that, Chel," he sighed. Halloween was approaching. There were multiple haunted house type attractions around. And of course stories of actual haunted houses. And the Shore manor, which some people probably took to be a haunted house, especially with the way it vanished from this side of the veil.

"Some people sayin' a haunted house just appeared on the beach or some s**t. Probably jus' their advertisin'- y'know- visit the house that mysteriously appeared." She shrugged even if Shun couldn't see it. "But I ain't been to a haunted house in a while. You wanna go fer fun?"  

[Blade Kuroda]

"Chel. You should have learned by now. I do not do fun."

He rubbed his head, and drank some of his tea. Shun did hear a couple thinks about something along those lines. Not a whole lot, though. Given the time of year, it was hard to pick out the tall tales. The fact that it was on the beach was something though.

It could potentially have something to do with Other Ashdown.

Or just be some Hallow-hoax.

"I'll hold yer hand f'you get scared." She let out a snort of laughter and then said, "Naw, naw m'kiddin'. S'probably just gonna be a shitty little thing. Jus' stood out 'cause everyone's all convinced it didn't exist before. Thought you'd wanna look into it an' s**t."

.... That and for Chel, it sounded like fun. She was curious if the detective was as stony as he seemed.  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun quietly grunted out, "Fine. I will check it out."

It could be something. It could be nothing. He might as well take a look to know for certain.

"I'll pick you up at eight fer our date, snookums."

She hung up the phone mid-laughter because she knew Shun had hung up mid-sentence.

But at eight Chel did show up at his door, motorcycle helmet under her arm. She was surprisingly underdressed for the occassion, only sporting a hoodie she'd made thumb holes in with a knife and a simple pair of jeans. Normally Chel made the effort to dress up a bit when going out with people, but hanging out with Shun had almost become habitual.

"Train t'spookytown departin' now," she called at the door as she knocked. Who else would it be? She might as well have fun with it.  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun did in fact hang up the moment Chel started to say the word 'date'. She really was insufferable at times.

Upon hearing Chel speak up and knock at his door once 8pm had rolled around, he just grumbled and answered the door. He was already dressed and ready to head out, so he just stepped out and closed the door behind him.

"Do you know where this thing actually is? 'The beach' is not really all that helpful considering this is a coastal town."

"Yeah, I just googled it." She waved her phone before pocketing it again. Moving down the stairs and behind Shun she asked, "How you been?"  

[Blade Kuroda]

The detective lightly shrugged in response. He didn't have much of an answer for her since it wasn't that long ago since he really last saw her. Instead, he just made his way down the stairs and into the garage so that he could get to his bike. As he drew near, he placed the helmet on, strapping it in and making sure it was secured. He then mounted up and waited for Chel to climb on as well.

Better than nothing.

She didn't look as giddy as she had the first time, but she still looked happy to be on the back of the bike. She took her phone and said, "Siri, gimme directions to the Ashdown seaside haunted house." Siri loaded for a moment and then began with the first instruction. She handed him the phone to put wherever was easiest to hear and then relaxed forward, arms around his stomach. "Ready when yer good, batman."  

[Blade Kuroda]

Shun had a little mount on his bike meant for a gps tracker or a phone. He just placed her device there, making sure it was nice and secure. Once that was in place, he glanced behind to make sure Chel was all set as well, then fired the bike to life. And then they were off, making their way towards this supposed haunted house.

Since it wasn't storming out right now, he rode closer to whatever the street speed limits were.

The ride itself didn't take all that long. Not too far off, the detective could see the outlines of the fabled house. Though, he couldn't really see much from here just yet. He went ahead and found a nice parking spot to leave the bike, then waited for Chel to get off.

Chel found she preferred the not-slow-as-balls ride more.

She slid off behind him, putting a hand on his back so as to make him aware of her presence as she moved off of it. "We should kick it t'a scary movie or somethin' after this too. Have some tea, pick up some popcorn from the store." She would have said beer but was careful with her words.

Either way she walked beside him towards the haunted house.
