November catch-all ♫

[traceofeffort]

⭐ Who: Lisa and ticketed attendees- wait, no, she didn't issue tickets, it's just everyone.
⭐ When: November, perhaps with backdated stuff as needed?
⭐ Where: Around town! Maybe in the Dream Sphere too, we'll see where things take us.
⭐ What: A certain bassist has Some Things on her mind and may require distractions. She still hasn't entirely wound down from the last Disturbance, but there are some... other issues also cropping up.
⭐ Warnings: Lisa-typical spirals, though it might be a bit worse than usual this month... Otherwise check headers, but should be fine.

Oh, I absolutely know that. I always have. Just... pride, I guess. Whatever of that I have left. [There's no discomfort in her tone at that. Just... acceptance.] I think... needing to be better for someone else helps.

[She finishes her au lait, twisting the top back on, and lightly tosses the bottle at the trash can next to the bench... which bounces off the rim twice and falls to the ground. Lisa watches with a snort, standing up to grab it and toss it in, not sitting back down after. She stretches with a soft groan, glancing at Nikki with a smile, if one a little less playful.]

My problems won't get any better by running away from them... [A pause.] Well. This specific problem won't get better unless I actively do something about it. That something... might look like running away, but it's gotta be something more than that.

[Nikki shrugs one shoulder and downs the rest of his soda]

The important part is that it works for you.

[there's a momentary pause before he's hopping back a couple of steps. Then he's tossing his empty soda can like a basketball into the trash. It's unnecessarily showy, more so when the can lands in the trash bin with a hollow clatter. Nothing but net.

He lets his arms swing as he drops them from their previous position, easygoing smile on his face]

Whether it's running away from something or running straight towards it! If it gets you where you need to go, then that's what you need to do.

C'mon! [he motions for her to follow him] Let's get going before it gets too dark.

[Lisa's smile is amused as Nikki takes home the basketball world championship, a soft chuckle escaping.]

Then maybe I need to take up free-running, so I can deal with my problems head-on. Or aggressively not deal with them. Hard to say, really. [She nods.] Right behind you, Nikki.
