Something I concocted when half asleep two nights ago, fantasizing about meeting Woodkid, thus the title, from his Brooklyn - listen below. Can be read as rps with Yoann Lemoine as the male or as a standalone piece of complete and utter bullshit fiction.
I'm actually deeply dissatisfied with this piece, the style and language a far cry from what I'd like it to be, but I don't dislike it enough to trash it and forget I ever offended my hard drive with this document. Here's to hoping that if few years' time I'll be able to get back to it and write it properly, with language actually reflecting the fragile, contemplative atmosphere of the scene I originally imagined. Also, I don't know shit about Brooklyn other than what I gathered from the aforementioned song, Frances Ha and all those hipster!AU fanfics about Marvel's characters. //le shrug

Whether it was still night or the wee hours of day already, he was too tired and just tipsy enough not to care; huddled into his expensive wool coat under the huge black umbrella, he walked hastily down the oddly desolate Brooklyn streets, his gaze cast firmly to the sidewalk under his feet and the rim of his hat blocking the view of anything else. Water slowly soaked through his sneakers, cool spots against his toes urging him to walk more quickly to the cool loneliness of his flat several blocks away. He ought to catch some sleep before setting to work; he's been up for longer than he cares to count, running errands in the morning, working through the day on the latest commission and then letting himself be invited to an impromptu party that extended far longer than anyone anticipated; well past the hour the nightlife usually ebbed, last of the clubgoers drunkenly giving up on trying to find company for the night. The weather reflected his mood, the heavy rain beating steady rhythm against the ground for long enough that it became inconsequential white noise, too familiar and indifferently persistent to be inspiring, though he always found rain to be refreshing; his creativity drying up, losing vitality in long stretches of sunny days. Perhaps he was just tired, having been up for twenty hours, but the whole last month felt devoid of inspiration.
