Normality shattered

Skyler looked down toward the ground as he continued walking. He knew listening in wouldn't do him any good. In fact, trying to listen in would only cause trouble. This was something he wasn't interested in. Sure, this kept him from meeting new people, but it didn't seem to matter. This became far too clear to him about a year ago. He once tried to ask someone for their number. This was a simple request based on finding her interesting to talk to. However, his request was instantly shot down. She thought he was trying to ask her out on a date and claimed it was against their company's policy to give out their phone number to a customer. Keep in mind, he was talking to her in person at the fast food restaurant she worked at.

At that moment, Skyler's ears turned off, as they had at the time of rejection. As he focused on what the reality of that situation was. She could have simply said, 'I have a boyfriend.' and brushed it off. At that point, he could have said. 'That's okay. I'm not interested in dating. I just wanted to talk to you some more, but I understand.' and left it at that. She instead placed the blame on the company she was working for. Thinking back on it, they had been talking about t.v. programs that they both liked. Although, it would seem she wasn't seriously interested in their conversation at all.

Skyler let out a sigh while thinking. 'She used the place she was working for as an escape goat. Hmm, am I just that ugly, scary, or perhaps something worse? Am I that boring?' When he sighed, he stopped for just a moment, narrowly escaping being hit by a rock. Interestingly enough, this wasn't the first time he had to deal with a rock while walking. Last time, he was hit by a rather large rock. At the time, he believed it had been thrown by a car. At any rate, it was still an unpleasant experience to be sure. Ironically, the only reason he noticed this rock at all was the sound it had made when it hit the fence beside him.

Skyler tilted his head, but shrugged before continuing to walk. However, as he did, an angry and drunken voice called out to him. "Are you deaf or something!? I said c'mere." After looking around again, Skyler pointed to himself. "Huh, are you talking to me?" The guy grumbled then spoke a bit louder. "Yes, you. Do you see anyone else?" He looked closer and noticed these three were all covered by a shadow of a tree, amplified by a nearby street lamp. "I see two ladies behind you, but I understand. What I don't understand is why I would go over there. It's too dark and I don't know you." He stood his ground and used Observe on that guy and the two ladies while waiting for a reply.

Oliver let out a breath before groaning. "Ugh, weren't you listening earlier? I want you to take a closer look at my sister." He moved a hand to his sister's lower back and pushed her out into the white light emanating from that lamp post. This revealed her to be a cute lady with shoulder length curly strawberry blonde hair, deep green eyes, and lovely full red lips. She was wearing a white blouse with a black work blazer over it and a black suit mini skirt. Skyler scratched the back of his head as he looked her over, but became slightly distracted by the new red exclamation that was flashing, allowing it to pop up.

Skyler smiled seeing the final level of Observe unlock, but as his eyes looked over Pauline's figure, she became slightly meek, covering herself up slightly while backing up toward the shadows. While this was going on, Oliver continued to speak. "I want to go out on a date with Betsy, but she won't go without my sister having a date too. So, what did you think? Did you like what you saw?" Pauline smacked the back of Oliver's head. "I'm not some piece of meat. Don't put me on display like that again." Skyler felt like he was blushing, even though he wasn't, as he looked off to the side. "I don't know if this will make you feel any better, but I think you are quite cute and attractive, miss."

Pauline's attention turned back to Skyler. Her score ticked up to 10. "Thank you, sir. I'm Pauline, not miss. Oh, and don't think I needed your approval." He lifted his hands up in the air by his head. "I never said that you did. Um, I'm Skyler. Nice to meet you, Pauline." She turned her attention back to Oliver. "Anyway, I told you not to trouble him. He is clearly out for a stroll and Betsy was just being nice by not turning you down outright." Betsy waved at Skyler. "I'm Betsy." He nodded slightly. "A pleasure, Betsy." Her score ticked up to 15.

After which, Skyler's attention turned back to Pauline."You aren't troubling me. Although my presence seems to be complicating matters. Is there anything else before I go?" Oliver dismissively waved his hand at his sister as his score ticked up to 0. "Yeah, help me get Betsy's pretty lips around my dick and my bitchy sister off my back." Betsy backed up. "Eww, no. I don't want that dirty thing near me." She let out a short, playful screech when Pauline smacked the back of her brother's head again. "Stop being a pervert in public. Honestly, I don't know why mom ever let you outside."

Skyler chuckled while lifting a brow as he turned his attention to Oliver. "That's funny. I understand wanting to get your dick wet, but no means no. So, um, I won't be helping you out with that." He turned his attention to Pauline again and bowed his head slightly. "Do you need a hand getting him back inside or will you two be okay?" He heard a soft giggle while the silhouette of Pauline's head shook slightly. Her score ticked up to 15. "No, we'll be okay. Oliver is just being an idiot again. It was nice meeting you, Skyler."

Skyler nodded. "Likewise." Pauline's score ticked up to 20. As he turned to walk away. He started to wonder if he should stay and talk until Oliver went to bed? This would make sure they would really be okay. Or should he just leave and possibly run into them another night?
