Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Bateery Pary Night): [His jet black hair is un-kept, its fairly short but not obscenely so, his fringe hanging down to cover his brow. He is about average height but of a lean build that makes him look taller. He’s wearing a black leather jacket that’s worn with age, and a pair of combat trousers that have seen better days, they’re not torn but the originally black trousers are now a patchy grey, he wears a dark blue shirt with the top two buttons undone revealing a braided rope around his neck supporting a small golden pendant depicting a rune. He's got a Doberman dog by his side, black for the most part but with a few patches of brown]

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Bateery Pary Night): He's standing by the railings to the park looking out over the water with the dog curled up underneath a nearby bench.

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He wanders his way through the paths in Battery Park. He remembers this place...he used to come here from time to time, with Stephen. He looks around with wonderment, re-acquanting himself with the area.

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He's a young man, maybe 18 or 19, small and slight. His babyface is hidden under a Robert Smith-like mop of black hair, hanging greasily down over his innocent green eyes. Dressed in a pair of dirty, ragged jeans, old Converse All-Stars, and a T-Shirt of a smiley-face in a Hannibal Lector-ish mask, he's very much a child in a teen's body. His demeanor is meek and hesitant. He projects a childlike innocence about him. (Arcane 1)

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): 8,2,7,4,2,

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: ((Color change. Don't like that one))

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): He hears footsteps and turns in Paris's direction, after giving him a quick look over he turns back out looking across the water.

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: 9,4,5,3,4,

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He looks up as he comes within a few feet of Thanos. Notice Thanos? Nope. He notices the pincher. He gives the dog a shy smile, waving to it and speaking with a quiet voice. "Hi."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): The dog looks up lasily before putting his head back in his paws. Thanos turns to look presuming that Paris is talking to him as no one else is about, not thinking that it could be Karos. "Hello", he says with a nod. turning round and leaning back against the railings.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *about 5'7", 140lbs(solid muscled though),with long strawberry blond hair and aqua blue eyes, she wears glasses right now, light wire frames, and shes an understated average type of pretty, in good shape, wearing faded bluejeans(a few smallish holes in them) and green camisole style tanktop, a duffle bag slung over one shoulder*http://www.wodnyc.net/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&album=1&pos=24

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He looks up at Thanos, as if noticing him for the first time, and blinks a couple times, drawing inward a little. He waves a little. "Hi." There's a pause, as he looks to Karos. "You have a very pretty friend."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: 3,9,8,10,4,6,

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "I'm sure he appreciates the comment." He says with a grin. "Thanos" He says offering a hand.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *wandering along the paths of the park, near the water and railing, she notices the others, looking at the dog with a soft smile*

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He takes a step back, instinctively, as the hand comes close, then, with a tentative motion, reaches out and shakes the hand. "I...I'm Paris." His quiet voice is almost kid-like.

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "No need to be shy Lad" Thanos chuckles. "I don't bite."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): 4,4,7,8,5,

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He smiles a little, giggling at something, even as his head ducks. "...okay. Hi."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): He glances over at Kaeleigh and nods "Evening miss"

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "That's it lad, being afraid only makes the world harder to deal with, be confident and it'll all work out sooner or later."

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He looks over at Kaeleigh as Thanos addresses her, pursing his lips nervously. More people.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *hmming softly to herself, shes just about near the others when thanos speaks to her, and she gives a warm smile to them both, inviting warm voice* evening....certainly nice night out tonight....

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He smiles a touch in response to Kaeleigh. She seems nice. "Smells nice."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Yes it is that, a lovely night, and with lovely creatures such as yourself walking in it too." He says with a Grin. "I'm Thanos and the boy here is Paris." he says nodding to Paris.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *another smile hearing paris, she nods, murmuring yes it does, then looks to thanos, hand offered out to shake* thanos...greek right? and paris....like in the myth*chuckling softly to herself* feel like Im out of place with my name.....Im Kaeliegh...*offers out a hand to both thanos and paris, each in turn*

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: Again, a hesitance, before he steps forward, reaching out tentatively to shake her hand. "Kaeleigh. I like that name...it's pretty."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): Shakes her hand and grins "What's a name? does it matter what it is or where it comes from really, just there to stop confushion" He says as though thinking it over. "Don't even always do a good job of that" he chuckles.

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "So what brings the two of you up here tonight?"

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: "Thanos means death." He says it almost unconsciously, escaping his lips before he realizes it's happen, and then, he looks up at the man, clapping his hand over his mouth.

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): He laughs at Paris "That it does lad, maybe why my father named me it, lol. didn't know it meant that till a few days back though, very educated sorts around here, they know stuff like that."

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: 3,8,8,3,8,7,

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *thanking paris softly when he compliments her name, she nods to thanos' asessment of the use of names in agreement, and before she can answer about what brings her she hears paris mention what thanos means, smiling again and nodding* thats right....cant believe I forgot that....shhh*with a playful grin* dont tell my college professors....Id never hear the end of it

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Don't worry about it, I'm not going to take offence, why would I lad?"

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: "Well, it actually means bear-man as a name." He starts rambling on in that kid-like voice that makes his words seem odd. "Thanatos means death." He pauses, looking at the two hesitantly. "...I think."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "College you say? What're you studying?"

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): Stops laughing and looks at Paris for a moment a gentle (or as gentle as he ever looks) "What are you so terrified of?"

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: was studying....Im a doctor....surgeon at bellevue, trauma unit...usually*gives a slight grin and shrug* or whereever they need me...*she looks a bit young for it though...couldnt be past her early 20's if*

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Wow, doing well for yourself there arn't you." he says looking genuinly impressed and giving a slight nod.

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He stares down at his Converses, shaking his head at Thanos's question. "...nothing."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *looks to paris with quiet concern as well, adjusting her hands on the dufflebag strap over her shoulder*

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Why don't we all take a seat" he says point to the picnic bench a little way off. "Unless anyone's in a rush to be somewhere, it's always nice to sit down and have a talk, and it's a nice night for it too."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: I try...*shrugging as she smiles, giving a slight blush, then looking to paris again, speaking in a soft calming voice* dont think anything of it.....thinking of fear more just gives it power, makes you freeze up...its ok....nothing to fear here...right?*looking to thanos for agreement*

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Certainly not. we're all friends here after all." he says with a grin walking over and sitting on the table.

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He looks at Kaeleigh, then nods, smiling a little before ducking his head back down. She IS a nice lady, he's decided. "...okay."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Buck up lad." he says giving paris a grin. "So what do you do?"

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *nodding to thanos, she heads over to the table and benches, settling the bag on her lap once she sits on the bench facing the other two more or less*

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: "I..." He pauses a moment, looking up at Thanos, as if confused by that statement. "I don't know. I was in a dark place until recently, and then there was lots of noise, and shouting, and screaming. The door opened somehow, and I got out. It smelled bad there." He looks around, nodding as if to comfirm something. "It smells nicer here. MUCH nicer."

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: She follows along behind Kaeleigh...still keeping his distance, though his hesitance has faded some.

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): He looks puzzledly at Paris. "Sounds like you had a rough time. Well on the plus side the future's brighter now that your out of the dark place aye?" His face having gone from athe puzzled expreshion to a solem thoughtful one.

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: ((He. Damn transgender PC's.))

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *looking at paris with even more concern, her voice soft and gentle again* what kind of dark place paris? was it a hospital or someones house?

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: "Oh, yeah. It's much nicer now. I'm not chained down anymore. I didn't like that much."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): He looks at paris his eye gentle though his face is still solem and he reaches up to caress the pendant he wears around his neck. "Chained?"

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: "Not a hospital." He shakes his head. "It was all dark. Ugly people. But nice." He sighs. "I miss Fausto though. He was a nice man."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): His eyes have glazed a bit, as though he's lost in thought. "Hmmm, were they chained too?"

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He sits doun on top of a picnic table, his knees coming to rest against his chest He folds his arms, resting them on top of his knees and resting his chin on his forearms.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: does it bother you to talk about this place paris , even though youre not there anymore?

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: "No, they fed me. They talked to me, too. Especially the thin one. He's very nice."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Even if it does he has to face the past, it's the only way he can open the future." His voice sounds older than he looks, tired and sad.

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: "I don't mind. It wasn't too bad. Just lonely, no one to talk to, except when he came in and talked to me."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "He?" he says his voice like ice.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: speaking of fed..*looking up as if remembering something, she reaches into her duffle, snagging out a pie shaped foil wrapped container* anyone hungry? I know I wont eat it all....at least I shouldnt...*smiling softly again*

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He looks up at Thanos, and smiles a little, reaching out to pat his shoulder comfortingly. "It's okay. Everything will be okay."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Nah I'm not thanks, but I'm sure any that no one wants karos will eat" He says with a chuckle some of the solemness gone from his face but his voice still cold.

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He looks at Kaeleigh, shaking his head. "No thank you."

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: His arms fold back on top his his knees again, and he rests his chin there once more.

Xu Xian: He exits the subway, glancing around before proceeding into battery park.

Xu Xian: 3,6,10,8,2,5,2,

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Thanks kid." He says with a grin. "Where you been staying since you got out of the dark place? you got somewhere?"

Chimal Miquiztli: He walks quietly, hands in his pocket, casual attitude.

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): 6,6,2,9,2,

Chimal Miquiztli: He walks into the park. Long, midnight hair frames a young Hispanic face, long-lashed eyes darkly glowing, offset by a bemused twitch of his sensual lips. His deceptively slender, 5'11" body moves with the unconscious seduction of a masculine male who is infinitely comfortable in his own skin. His age is difficult to determine, his gaze direct and mature, his body well developed, but his face youthful. He is wearing melted-on blue jeans, as he despises the baggy look and prefers the way the denim hugs his backside, and a white t-shirt tucked in. A black belt and a black leather peacoat complete the ensemble. His watch is extraordinary, a black-banded, black-faced Tiffany watch rimmed in pure platinum. [http://www.wodnyc.net/modules/coppermine/albums/uploads10296/Chimal.jpg]

Chimal Miquiztli: 3,7,2,6,

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): In the quite night new footsteps are clearly audable and he glances in their direction picking Xu and Chimal out but only as shadowy figures.

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: 6,9,9,4,7,

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *nodding, she just opens it up and with that quiet smile gone sets the pie tin down for the dog before looking back up to paris and thanos* where do you stay now paris?*speaking softly when she finally does again*

Chimal Miquiztli: He notes there are other people around. Unsurprising really.

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: "Here and there...around. Wherever is safe." He looks up at Chimal as he walks, and behind him at Xu.

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: ((DD for the new peeps: He's a young man, maybe 18 or 19, small and slight. His babyface is hidden under a Robert Smith-like mop of black hair, hanging greasily down over his innocent green eyes. Dressed in a pair of dirty, ragged jeans, old Converse All-Stars, and a T-Shirt of a smiley-face in a Hannibal Lector-ish mask, he's very much a child in a teen's body. His demeanor is meek and hesitant. He projects a childlike innocence about him. (Arcane 1)))

Chimal Miquiztli: Regardless of the time, there are always people about. He continues on at an unhurried pace.

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Ah a wonderer, only way to live, but best not to be because of being on the run. the people from the dark place looking for you?

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: "They might be." He nods, keeping an eye on the new people, looking from Chimal to Xu slowly. "Others are, too. But it's okay. I'll show them that I'm nice."

Xu Xian: (*Slaps Chimal off of his color*))

Chimal Miquiztli: ((~growls~))

Chimal Miquiztli: ((Oh, fine! ~L~))

Xu Xian: He slows as he heads into the park, glancing over at Paris, giving Thanos a brief nod, and Chimal, too.

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "I got a place you can hide out at if you want, it's not much, but nobody else goes there." he says keeping track of the shadows his hand releasing his pendant and tensing on the table just encase.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: do you 'want' someplace to stay paris?*the look on her face says she cant really help but ask,curious and concerned at the same time*

Chimal Miquiztli: Hm, a nod? Ah! He smiles a slow, lazy grin at Xu, veering that direction. "Hola, amigo." A casual glance over the others nearby.

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): He nods back but keeps an eye on him.

Xu Xian: He's tall, over 6.5 feet, broadshouldered, and Eurasian, with a light olive-gold complexion. His eyes are hid behind wraparound Raybans, his lowerface looking more European than Asian, despite his coloring. He looks to be in his early 20's and wears a Quentin Tarantino suit, complete with narrow tie.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: (anyone need a DD of her lemme know*nods*) *hearing thanos offer already she falls silent, just listening now, hands resting on her dufflebag in her lap*

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: "I'm okay. Really." He nods. "There's lots of places to stay in the city. Good, safe places."

Xu Xian: He nods to Chimal, giving him a smile. "How you doing?"

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Citys are good for that." he nods. "not sure about safe, but plenty of places to hide."

Chimal Miquiztli: "Bien, as always." A bemused twitch of his lips. "I'm considering getting a hold of Karlos, actually. To help him out in his endeavors at the Concerto," he murmurs.

Xu Xian: He snorts to himself, a bitter twist to his lips. "Good for you."

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: "I know the safe places." He nods a tiny bit, speaking in that quiet, kid-like voice. "Places they won't find me until I show them I'm good."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Show who you're good?"

Chimal Miquiztli: "Not a good idea?" He looks mildly surprised. His gaze slithers over the others once more, appraising. The dog as well.

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: "The people who are looking for me. They think I was bad, but I wasn't. Someone else was. So I have to show them I'm not bad."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Who are they? Do you know?"

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): ((Open, Batter park night, 2 groups at presnet)

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *yawning softly, trying to suppress it, she keeps listening to thanos and paris, most every question she thinks to ask already asked before she can get to it*

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: 6,1,4,5,8,9,

Xu Xian: "It may be good for you. Karlos is a good man."

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He nods. "They know me. They're the big people. Important people..." ~Whispered~ "...like Mercy." He shivers a little, his eyes growing wide with fear at the mention of his name.

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): He whispers back "Who's Mercy?"

Chimal Miquiztli: "I don't want to keep waiting for something to happen, and I've done enough indulging of my hedonism." No bitterness, definite amusement at himself. "I thought it may be useful, and at least interesting."

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: "One of the important people. He doesn't like me very much."

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Why not? Do you know where he is? maybe I could try and straighten stuff out for you."

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He shakes his head, feet moving from the table-top to the bench, as he starts to warily slide off the table. "...I should go now."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *still listening she looks around distractedly, noticing the others off a bit, looking at them curiously before looking back to paris curiously*

Xu Xian: He nods. "It's always good to be useful." He doesn't seem to be too engaged in the conversation, his attention on Paris and Thanos. Or sliding away toward Castle Clinton. He looks tired, as if he's been burning the candle at both ends.

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "There's nothing to be scared of kid, we're on your side." Looks to Kaeleigh

Chimal Miquiztli: He nods, stepping back. A curious glance over the two he's looking at, but that is all. "I'll leave you to your thoughts," he murmurs.

Xu Xian: He taps himself out a Marlboro and lights it with a book of matches, offering one to Chimal.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: you dont have to go if you dont want to paris....*nodding and agreeing with thanos*

Chimal Miquiztli: "Gracias, but I have my cloves." A faint smile. "They taste better."

Cassie Raines: She enters the park gates, and heads around edge of the park, shes not really paying attention to anyone in particular, perhaps just out for a stroll, though her eyes seem to go to the water once in a while.

Xu Xian: He turns his head to look at Chimal, who can feel those gold-hazel eyes burning into him through the Raybans. "How's Catie?"

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He plants his feet on the concrete path, and starts to move away, smiling shyly to the both of them. "No...I sh-should go. Umm...bye." He turns around and starts to head off.

Xu Xian: 2,6,5,4,5,8,8,

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): "Ok, see ya kid, I'll be around if you ever need any help" He nods to the boy with a sad before turning away scanning the park to make sure no one goes after him.

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): 5,7,4,1,4,

Cassie Raines: She pauses by the railings and looks out at the water, letting herlsefl rest there.

Xu Xian: He notes Cassie enter the park, and Paris heading along the path (Paris heading toward or away from Xu and Chimal?)

Chimal Miquiztli: "She is well. Her nightmares seem to have stopped. We have a raven living with us now and are getting two kittens." Light smirk. "Aren't we domestic?"

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: He heads down the path, moving out of the park and intending to cross the street.

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: goodbye ...*waving to paris as he starts to head off, sighing softly once he does and shaking her head, rubbing the temples gently*

Chimal Miquiztli: 5,8,4,9,

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: ((Away))

Chimal Miquiztli: Oh, he certainly notices Cassie, taking the time to study her figure.

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): He doesn't see anyone following the boy but notieces cassandra over by the water a short way away. "Good evening, nice to see you're back about again." he calls over.

: (open?

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): Glances down to Kaeleigh "You ok?"

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): ((Yep, very much so, come on in))

Cassie Raines: she turns her head to Thanos and smiles, "thanks," but she doesnt offer more than a smile, ((DD anyone?))

Xu Xian: "A raven?" he raises a brow. "Interesting. You know anything about Sadie Blackfoot?"

Chimal Miquiztli: Glances at Thanos. Looks back to Cassie. Gets the urge to light up a clove, give his hands and mouth something to do, so he taps out one and lights up.

Xu Xian: He whispers to Chimal.

Chimal Miquiztli: "The name is vaguely familiar, but I know nothing specific." ((gosh darn it! *L* I always play the wrong one with Xu at any given time - he needs to talk to Mercury...ya want I should switch?))

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): ((Is DD characters description or scene or sceane?)) "Another party? or just out for the air tonight?

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: Once outside the park, he picks up the pace, jogging/running his way across the street to the diner, disappearing into the alleyway next to it.

Chimal Miquiztli: He flicks a glance at Xu. "Sí, knew about him," a soft whisper. "Gracias."

Cassie Raines: ((character i meant... Cassie walks silently through the gloom in her dark overcoat and jet-black hair appears to fade into the night around her and contrast with her pale skin, this makes her seem angelic. She looks about 24-25, 5'8 and is slim yet curvy. Her features are vaguely European of Italian decent, and although the word beautiful is often overused, in her case its inadequate. Her hair is perfectly straight and most often tied into a long ponytail. Her skin is milky white and her eyes seem large with long dark lashes, her eye colour is dark chocolaty brown but they appear to sparkle when she smiles. Her features are small and her hair frames her face, making it seem slimmer and perfectly symmetrical. The mouth is small and her lips always seem to be playing on a smile with perfectly straight pearly white teeth. ))

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: ((DD=Description Drop. The Character's Description.))

"Bren"nan Wallace : *here he comes walking down the way not really paying attention he never does.*

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: just.....tired I guess...*looking to her watch with a soft mmph* suppose Id better get home....*still just a little quiet , standing and putting the duffle bags strap over her shoulder*

"Bren"nan Wallace : 8,6,2,

Xu Xian: ((Play what you want. Xu will probably be an asshole to them all. *G*))

Thanos Augustus [Playtesting] (Battery Pary Night): ((Thanos is sitting on a picninc table his feet on a seat. His black hair is a mess and his black leather jacket is worn. he's wearing grey trousers that show the markings of having once been black and Dark blue shirt with two buttons undone, a Gold pendant with a rune engraved hanging from his neck))

Paris Bennet [Battery Park]: ((Yes. Yes, he will. *G*)) And he's gone, out of view, and away. ((See y'all...thanks for the RP!))
