Annoying Ladies (OPEN)

[Edward"Butcher"McMillan]

McMillan turned and spit on the curb as Colly asked where they should go. "Well there really aren't that many places to go, especially at this hour. I know a guy that works at the prison but I'm not sure how busy they are, course he and I aren't the best of friends, but I can't really sit here and talk about regrets if I'm gonna hold a grudge now can I?" He smiled to himself as he said it. He really didn't need to still be mad at the guy, after all they made it out of that predicament alright, just so long as he didn't leave anyone else hanging again, McMillan should forgive him.

McMillan turned toward the darker end of the street and kicked a rock, it banged on the side of a trash can and went sailing off into the night. "So how does that sound? Wanna go check it out?" He said over his shoulder as he contemplated smoking another cigarette.

[Stephen Colly]

Stephen nodded, ”Yeah, lets go there. There isn’t anything else to do.” he shrugged and started to walk in that direction, looking behind to see if McMillan was following.

”What is there to do in a prison?” Stephen asked, he didn’t really care what they did, he just wanted to do something rather then sit around and think about the past which he hated doing and he which he did most of the time he was on his own as they was nothing else to think about.

[Edward"Butcher"McMillan]

McMillan followed as Colly headed down the road. "Well there really isn't much to do there at all, but it is a calmer environment if you wanna grab a cup of coffee or something." He figured Stephen needed calm, a lot of calm. "Just make sure you drink decaf." He smiled a little and hoped he hadn't gone too far with his last remark.

McMillan caught up to him and the pair walked off from the pub back toward the direction of the base. It wasn't too far off but it wasn't close either. "Should we try and catch a ride or just walk it?" He didn't really want to catch a ride but he didn't know if Colly was up to walking the whole way back.

[Stephen Colly]

Stephen shrugged, he laughed at McMillan’s last remark. ”Am I really that nervous?” he asked, grinning but his grin faded as they walked on, in the cold. Stephen wrapped his arms around himself to keep warm as they walked.

McMillan asked if they should catch a ride or walk, Stephen didn’t want to make trouble, he didn’t mind either way. ”I don’t mind, if you want to walk then I will walk, if you want to catch a ride, I will, it’s up to you.” Stephen was bad at making decisions.

They were half way there, and the moon was still out. A cat ran a cross the road in front of them and Stephen jumped, stopping and watching it but saw that McMillan hadn’t paid much attention to it so he watched it but kept walking, god what was wrong with him?

[Edward"Butcher"McMillan]

Colly was a s jumpy as ever, having the people around didn't seem to make much of a difference, just more reasons to jump. "I'd prefer the walk, need to get rid of this buzz before we make it back to base, if at least just a little." He was not really inebriated but he would rather be safe than sorry.

McMillan saw a cat dart across the road and Colly looked as if he might wet himself, McMillan just figured that if it had been something or someone trying to kill him that he wouldn't have seen it coming, he tried not to worry too much, it kept him from dying of old age as quickly, if he was going to make it that far.

"You keep jumpin at everything, you're gonna jump yourself into insanity, not to mention an early grave." He was utterly concerned for Colly. He needed to talk to someone or go home for a bit, maybe there would be someone that could talk to him at the prison Yeah, 'cause he won't freak out there! He rolled his eyes as he walked on.

[Stephen Colly]

Stephen walked on, keeping his head down so that he wouldn’t jump at anything. McMillan spoke again, how he would jump himself into insanity and that he would die young.
Stephen glanced up at the older man, ”It’s because of all the bombs.” There weren’t any bombs around of course, but because of the standstill in France, and when both sides had bombed each other, the loud crashing and banging had gone to Stephen’s head.

”Let’s just get to the prison.” Stephen muttered, looking at the ground, stuffing his hands in his pockets and walking on quickly to try and look like nothing was wrong.

[Edward"Butcher"McMillan]

Colly seemed to be feeling pretty down. "Hey man, don't feel bad for what you have been through and that it has you on edge." McMillan had seen this before but not to such a high degree "This jumpyness that you have could very well save your life some day. God knows many people have cheated death because they were always ready for something." He knew for a fact that this was true, he had even seen some guys that hesitated because they were thinking about people back home, so screwing up actually saved them.

They could see the main gate down the road, coming ever so closer. McMillan lit up another cigarette and reached over toward Colly with the pack, "Want another?" he asked. Colly looked as if he could smoke one after another for the entire day and still be jumpy. It was good to an extent but having too far could be disastrous.

[Stephen Colly]

Stephen nodded and walked on, listening to McMillan’s every word. He smiled and took a cigarette, lighting it up and took a puff as he walked. He had never liked smoking before the war, but once he had gone into the army he couldn’t get enough of the things.

”Thanks.” he muttered, a bit more relaxed then he had been, the entrance to the prison was getting nearer and nearer, and Stephen could smell the prison smell in the air.
”Do you know anyone who works here?” he asked, falling into step with McMillan as they walked. He felt that he could smoke one cigarette after another all day.

[Edward"Butcher"McMillan]
