Ferb looked up from the menu "Honestly, I did not mention my profession to put you at ease, I just said it. Second of all, all I did was ask if you were ok as you seemed sad. I don't have a hidden agenda like you insinuated. You could have simply said you didn't want to talk when I came up. In case you ever do want to let some things off your chest, I am here for everybody. I don't expect you to trust me. I just was trying to make sure you were ok." He glanced back at his menu after he calmly talked. He thought to himself How is it that whenever somebody is sad do they always have to shut everybody out?. He shrugged that thought out of his head, he was not going to let anybody get him down, that's not who he is. Once he ordered his meal he put the menu aside and pulled out a binder filled with notes. He started to read over the notes. ------------------------------------------- OOC:

He was swamped at work with new hires he had to run orientation for. He found a table and took a seat. Who knows, maybe he might find somebody to talk to. He sure started to miss his home in America, and was missing some of his old friends. Ever since he moved to London he has had troubles making friends. He took a menu and started to take a look at it. Without realizing it he had a tear in his eye. ------------------------------------------- OOC:

 I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy
Well, that's nothing

Virgil found himself inside the dingy pub, his hands curved around a tumbler of gin as he peered into the contents. Well, he'd finally done it, hadn't he? He'd gotten from under his father's shadow, and he was a free man finally. Why did he find himself in a bar, then? He certainly could do what he wanted, get into something that he truly wished to do. Vaguely he wondered if he could find a job, but he didn't know what he'd be interested in. At one point, he'd wanted to be the minister of magic, but looking back at that dream now, he was a cocky, arrogant child that made that proclamation. He certainly wouldn't trust himself to be that now. He was too unstable, no matter how much he had finally quieted the other voice. It was still there, hovering at the edges of his consciousness like a shadow, but it was quiet. Waiting. For what, Virgil didn't know, but he was certain that whatever it was that it was waiting on, it wasn't going to be pleasant.
Taking another swallow, he glanced down the bar to look over the current patrons. He needed to get his head out of this destructive loop, he reasoned to himself. Every time he found himself reflecting on himself, he usually ended up drunk and stumbling back to his flat where nothing but memories and emptiness greeted him. He didn't pretend that he wasn't an alcoholic, because he was. That was probably the next step that Niall had to go through with him, he mused. Rick had always chided him on it, and the redhead was right in that regard. However, he spied a man sitting at a table, completely alone. Despite his better judgement (he would probably blame it on how much alcohol he drank even if this was his first glass), he stood, deciding to make his way over.
Rapping his knuckles on the table, he cleared his throat, hoping the man didn't mind the interruption. Virgil himself would, especially if he was busy pitying himself. Which tonight he was working on not doing. "You don't mind if I take a seat, do you? You seemed to be in need of company." Honestly, he was in need of company, but he wasn't going to state that. He was much too proud to, despite his own self-pity. Red eyes observed the man, wondering if he minded at all.

Now, I ain't much of a poet but I know somebody once told me
To seize the moment and don't squander it
'Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow
So I keep conjuring, sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn from

"Just be aware, I seem to scare people away with my personality, so I won't feel bad if you decide to not talk to me either.Thank you though for providing me company, I need it today."

Virgil chuckled, thinking that the man's comment about scaring people away with his personality was hilarious. He had no idea, did he? Well, that was for the best. He'd driven away one lover with his madness, and the other had decided to go back to the saner partner. Well, as sane as Molloy could be, really. He sat down, regardless, cocking an eyebrow at the other man. "Who said that I'd be the one being scared away? It could be you for all I know." He then shook his head, thinking that perhaps that wasn't the best way to go about things. After all, he was pretty certain that was why he had a long line of failures in his past. "Sorry, my humour tends to be pretty dark. Virgil Ross. And no, I think I'm fine with this one drink for now. Though, I really should eat something if I'm going to be drinking right now, shouldn't I?" He glanced over the menu that he could see, his stomach already protesting the idea of food. Which either meant that he'd forgotten to eat again, or he'd already had too much to drink. He wasn't sure as to which.

Virgil actually looked at the man with amusement, thinking that the man had no idea. There was plenty to be scared of, especially if someone decided to look into where Virgil disappeared to during his time at Hogwarts. However, he wasn't willing to divulge that fact, especially if the wrong thing was said to the wrong person. He could end up in jail, or worse, simply because he had done wrong in his life. Shoving that to the back of his mind, he shook his head. "You'd be surprised at what you're scared of," he murmured quietly. He wasn't entirely wrong, either. However, that wasn't what he wanted to think about, so he took the time to look over the menu before him. "Well, if you're offering, I might as well take you up on that. However, I do say that I'll pay for any drinks. You... don't want to pay for the kind of bill that I'd end up accruing." He considered the menu for a moment longer, wondering if he could get away with something light. It would certainly determine if he could stomach food or not at the moment without turning whatever he did eat into a waste.

Virgil swallowed, thinking that this was why he wasn't all that sociable. However, at least he was of somewhat sound mind, and no longer had the pressures of running a family to fracture his mind further. Darius could manage it well enough on his own. He considered how to answer the man's question without revealing his own past, since that would create a lot of problems for him. "Well, if you look at the things happening in England, you'd have read about some truly monstrous people running around. Honestly, I don't even think they've been caught yet. However, I don't know if you hear about any of that in the States." The man's accent was unmistakeable, and Virgil was pretty sure that if the man was from America, the US was a good guess. His other would have been Canada, but he didn't think so. "It's also not a question about being able to handle it, it's just the simple fact that there are some legitimate things to fear. Talking to people isn't one of them." Virgil said no more, instead looking at the woman that approached to take their orders. She looked a bit surprised to see Virgil sitting at a table rather than the bar, but he figured he'd become a regular barfly in here during his usual drinking binges. "If it's still available, I'd like to take the soup of the day with some rolls please. And another refill of my drink."

Ferb smiled gently "You would be surprised what I heard as I was growing up in the U.S. though I mainly left for multiple reasons." Ferb quickly looked down. "I am guessing you are here often?

Virgil said nothing when Ferb mentioned the fact that he could run and hide or he could live life. Virgil didn't have that luxury, to be honest. He'd had someone after him since he was fourteen, and he didn't doubt for a moment that given the chance, Megan would snatch him up, especially when he looked at the last time he saw her. He however said nothing, taking a healthy drink of his gin. When the man asked about how often he was here, he chuckled a bit, deciding to ignore the other part of the conversation. "I come in here often enough. She's one of the regular waitresses that sees me. She just sees me up at the bar normally." Crimson eyes regarded the glass he held and he shook his head. No, no need to talk about any of that. He shrugged, about at a loss for anything more to say, but he considered the other man's words. "What... exactly is in the news over there? I've never left England, so I couldn't say. Or well, I've been to Scotland, but that's for an entirely different reason."

Virgil blinked, thinking for a moment that muggles were violent savages, before he shoved that thought out of his head. Okay, so maybe his upbringing was still influencing his thoughts, but he'd seen just as much violence in the magical world. He was surprised about the fact the news seemed to discuss the UK and France, though. Maybe it was a muggle thing, he reasoned. After all, wasn't the US headed by a president? Odd thinking, that. When he stated that Virgil needed to leave England to travel, Virgil was already shaking his head. As much as he wouldn't mind taking Jaslyn's example and visiting the world, there were plenty of problems with that. Most of which had to do with the fact that he wasn't sure that his other self wouldn't take advantage of a fresh start somewhere and take over. "While the idea sounds pleasant, it would probably be a bad idea for me. It's... not safe." He declined to elaborate, instead focusing on his drink and sneering into it. Honestly he was tired of being scared all the time, but there wasn't much he could do about it. From what he understood, there was no cure for his mental issues. He was doomed to live with a murderous voice in the back of his mind for the rest of his life.
When the food arrived, his stomach twisted unpleasantly, forcing Virgil to just grab a roll and tear off a piece to stick in his mouth. It was dry, but it was better than admitting his appetite just wasn't there. He was honestly forcing himself to eat, and he knew that it'd have repercussions later. Thanking the waitress, he took another drink of his gin to wash down the bread before looking over at Ferb. "Sorry, I must be awful company. I don't socialize often." Huge understatement, but it was the truth. His mouth twisted into a sardonic smile, not even sure if he was trying to drive the man away or what at this point. Not that it mattered. He didn't want anyone to be hurt because of him.

✖I can't seem to fight these F E E L I N G S
I'm caught in the middleof this.
And my ฬ ๏ ย ภ ๔ ร are not нεαℓιиģ
I just wanna know the truth!
W A N T ✖ T O ✖ K N O W the truth...
Chase walked into the Leaky Cauldron, her bag hefted over her shoulder. Her birthday was only a few days away and then she could finally apparate herself around instead of walking. She couldn't wait. As much as she enjoyed walking and exercising, she would prefer to not have to lug all her crap back to the flat after shopping, but that was inevitable. Riley had suggested she just wait until after her birthday to do her shopping, but she was bored and she wanted to get it done and out of the way. And at least with it done, she'd have books to read, and she could get a head start on studying for NEWTs.
She only had a couple books to grab, and she was going to buy a new broom for her final year at school, as well as a new bat and some new gloves. Riley had given a good amount of money to get all her shopping done, and she always had her parents' vault. She was the sole heir to their money, since Riley had gotten Dani and August taken off the account after their multiple stints in rehab and the streets.
She was rather distracted in her own thoughts, and didn't even notice the man walking infront of her, until it was too late and she slammed straight into him, and stumbled backwards. Thankfully she caught herself on a table, so she didn't actually land directly on the floor. She straightened out her sweatshirt, and hefted her bag back onto her shoulder before glancing at the man and his tag along of people. She recognized the two younger boys as recent first years at Hogwarts. She'd seen them get sorted last year, although she didn't remember their names or houses or anything else about them. The man she had actually run into though, she didn't recognize him at all.
She rubbed her shoulder and gave an awkward apologetic smile. "Sorry I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Are you alright?" Wow.... could she be anymore awkward? Actually she probably shouldn't wonder that, because knowing her luck something else would make the situation that much more awkward just because she asked.
