( Joel had sat there in silence for a good few minutes until he visibly acknowledged Mark's question. )
It's not just a "something". It's. . . It's a series of past events coming back to torture me both physically and psychologically.

It's nice to meet you too.
( His voice was anything but enthusiastic. Joel leaned back in his seat and averted his unfocused gaze from Mark and pinned it on the menu. )

( Oh thank god, Joel thought to himself as sat with his eyes shut, propping his forehead on one hand. The headache seemed to subside a little after a while so he looked back up at Mark to see what he was doing. )
I'm Joel.

Okay, okay. . .
( Joel raised his hands in defeat with his eyes in a squint. The headache was growing stronger and the neon decoration around the building started hurting his eyes. )
Forget about the sink. Let's just do what we'd agreed on. I pay for your food and you shut up for a while.

'm very selective with who I follow back since I'm only comfortable writing with a number of people I can count on one hand so please don't take it personally if I don't follow back.

𝘫𝘰𝘦𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭 @agentcampbell.bsky.social · 21d

Most themes will be graphically present in my writing like explicit gore/violence, sex, mentions of suicide and mental illnesses, drug use and offensive language.

Please do not follow or simply just block this account if you're not comfortable seeing any of those on your TL.

He has an unexplored dark side that could be drawn out to the surface with the right amount of influence and motivation.
Paranoid, Joel believes that Griffin is always watching him and therefore he is wary of forming any meaningful relationships with others to keep them safe from his stalker.

𝘫𝘰𝘦𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭 @agentcampbell.bsky.social · 21d

Joel developed a serious addiction to those substances that are keeping him semi-functional in his day to day life.
Bisexual, but closed towards forming any romantic or sexual relationships due to his mental state.>

I changed my mind. I don't need any favors from you. Just order and eat your goddamn food.

𝘫𝘰𝘦𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭 @agentcampbell.bsky.social · Sep 6

I paid you with food. I thought that was clear.
( A small, pained chuckle left him. )
Or did you think that feeding junkies is my hobby?
( Joel shook his head at the sheer absurdity of it all and returned to massage his forehead. )>

( More like said plumbers could never get in touch with him due to Joel forgetting about the appointments every single time. )
I think it's a pipe issue.
( Hand messaging his brow ridge, he felt a headache coming up. )

𝘫𝘰𝘦𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭 @agentcampbell.bsky.social · Sep 4

What?
( His attention drawn back by the question he hadn't caught, Joel looked back at the young man with a lost expression. )
Oh, the sink. Right. I don't need advice. I want someone to come over and fix it. I can't find a decent plumber anymore.>

He focused on the darkest spot he could find; the opening to an alleyway. Slowly, the outline of a person started materializing for him. )

I've heard that one before.
( Joel had met many criminals that were easy on the eyes. That didn't mean that he would have mercy on them. The Devil was the most beautiful angel, they said. His stalker came to mind at that. Joel turned his head, staring out into the dimly lit street.>

// that's canon 😄

𝘫𝘰𝘦𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭 @agentcampbell.bsky.social · Sep 2

I didn't say you were a killer.
( Now obvious to Joel, this guy had no idea how to rob someone and if he had then he was a great actor. )
I won't give you any money. You can pick something from the menu and I'll pay for it.
( He paused to finish his drink. )
Do you know how to fix a sink?

Alright. Let's say that your fishing for sympathy had worked its way up to the beating muscle in my chest. I'm not related to Mother Tereza to my knowledge so what am I getting out of this?

𝘫𝘰𝘦𝘭 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘭 @agentcampbell.bsky.social · Sep 1

A little self-confidence and a pocket knife would get you places.
( Joel thought it was obvious that the less brawny types would be carrying a weapon to make up for what they were lacking. )>
