Brianna McCarthy: She wasn't even hungry, so she wasn't sure why she'd bothered to buy lunch. She poked absently at the salad in her lap, her chin cradled on one hand. She'd sat on a bench, not wanting to be around the chatter of people in the cafe. Psht. She poked at the salad a little more, finally poking some into her mouth.

Jamie Randall: Tall and broad shouldered, Jamie moves with a smooth, easy step through the park. His handsome face is animated; his green eyes are expressive beneath pale lashes and his firm lips mobile and as quick to frown as they are to smile. Shoulder length red-gold hair is pulled back into a tight club at the back of his head, falling just over his collar. A well tailored suit, black on black, hugs his muscular frame, everything neat and immaculately clean right down to his highly polished shoes.

Brianna McCarthy: d10: per+alert: 8,5,8,4,9,

Jamie Randall: d10: per+alert: 8,4,6,8,

Brianna McCarthy: She shoves another forkful into her mouth and chews a bit, though her face twists as if the salad doesn't taste very good. She's dressed as if she came from business, in black pants and a long sleeve black shirt, hair neatly braided. She glances over as she notices Jamie, but really doesn't have the energy to wave to him.

Jamie Randall: "Brianna!" He grins, seeing her, and alters course, striding towards the pretty lass with a purpose.

Brianna McCarthy: Oh good. He saw her so she doesn't have to do anything. She leaned back, waving a little to him as she put the salad aside.

Jamie Randall: Grin growing he reaches down to haul the kin up off the bench and hug the stuffing out of her.

Brianna McCarthy: She gives a startled gasp as she's hauled up and hugged, rather surprised at the attention. It's not a bad thing, merely unexpected.

Jamie Randall: He sets her on her feet after the hug, hands on her shoulders, steadying her. "Afternoon' darlin."

Brianna McCarthy: "Afternoon." Comes the slightly bewildered reply, looking up to him as she blinked rapidly. "It's good to see you too."

Jamie Randall: "I've nae seen ye in weeks, lass. How are ye? Is everythin' goin' allrigh'?"

Brianna McCarthy: Her eyes dim slightly, and she shrugs, but she smiles anyway. "Yeah. I guess they've been going alright, what about you?"

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: Well, what do you know. Someone fell asleep in the park. Her eyes crack open, and she sighs a little as she rises to a sitting position on the bench she was on. Eyes wince...a bench is not the best of places to sleep, after all.

Jamie Randall: "Katie an' I are gettin' a divorce. Wee Jamie may be comin' ta the states for a wee while." He shrugs. "Do ye know Kaeleigh?"

Brianna McCarthy: "Yeah, in passing." A little nod, settling back onto the bench.

Jamie Randall: He nods. "I'm livin' wi' 'er..."

Reyna Varinina Reiruno -> Reyna Varinina Reiruno: d10: Rage: 4,7,7,3,

Brianna McCarthy: She smiles a little more up to him. "Glad for you both then." A glance to the woman on the bench, but not much more.

Jamie Randall: "An' 'ere I was 'opin' ye'd be jealous." He grins at Bri and picks up her salad container before sitting down.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: She twists to either side, making that good wince as her back pops audibly in either direction, and looks around with a sigh as she pulls the morning cigarette out.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: d10: Per+Alertness: 8,8,3,2,8,9,

Brianna McCarthy: She makes a soft 'heh' noise, looking down to her lap for a second before looking up again. "Sorry to disappoint... you can go ahead and toss that, not very hungry. Unless you want it."

Jamie Randall: He arches a brow at Bri. "Eat," he says, voice going a bit gruff as he thrusts the salad container at her. ((Sorry...police stopped by))

Brianna McCarthy: She raises an eyebrow back, and pushes the container away from her. "I'm not hunrgy."

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: Hmmm...the girl's familiar to her, in passing. The big guy ain't. She looks over at them, smirking appreciatively, as she reaches up. Yeesh. Mussed hair. She must look greeeeaaaat.

Jamie Randall: "Eat," he says again, a little bit of a protective, semi possessive growl trickling from his lips.

Brianna McCarthy: "I had breakfast, I had a few bites, I'm not hungry right now." She says stubbornly.

Jamie Randall: "Dinnae make me make ye eat, Brianna McCarthy," he rumbles.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno -> Reyna Varinina Reiruno: d10: Mother&#;s Touch (WP): 7,9,3,8,7,10,

Brianna McCarthy: She crosses her arms. "You can't make me eat. I'm not hungry right now. Let it go."

Jamie Randall: He smirks and sets the salad down to free up his hands. "I cannae?"

Brianna McCarthy: She narrows her eyes. "No."

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: She reaches up to scratch her heand as she digs into her pocket....ah, shit. Where the fuck's her lighter? She looks around, grunting irritably. Had to be around here somewhere...

Jamie Randall: Jamie laughs, a sudden, full throated laugh and reaches out to scoop Brianna up.

Brianna McCarthy: Her eyes get wide, and she scrambles to get out of the way.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: She looks up from the floor at the laugh, eyebrow raising. Something in her eyes goes a little...odd at the gesture of familiarity between the other two, and she grins widely, shaking her head with a chuckle. Her hand reaches up to idly scratch at the fresh bullet hole in her duster at the shoulder, still surrounded with red.

Jamie Randall: Still laughing he hooks his fingers in the waistband of Bri's pants and gives a yank, tumbling her into his lap and sliding his free arm around her.

Brianna McCarthy: She goes back with an 'oof' her face starting to get a little red. She refrains from squirming in his lap, but does say his name warningly. "Jamie..."

Jamie Randall: "Brianna," he rumbles, scot's accent thickening.

Brianna McCarthy: Her cheeks, are still mildly flushed, and she opens her mouth to say something, interrupted by the sound of her phone in her bag. She wiggles to get out of his graps, silently thankful for the distraction. A murmur of 'just a minute' to Jamie, as she grabs the phone, and slides away to take the call.

Jamie Randall: He mutters something uncomplimentary and begins munching on her salad himself, watching her with stormy blue eyes.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: She runs a hand through her hair, and looks around...well, shit. Fuckin' thing's gone, probably. She sighs and looks around at the people...eh, crap. Maybe big n' tall knows. She rises and makes her way toward the big guy, smirking a touch at him.

Jamie Randall: d10: : 8,4,3,1,

Jamie Randall: The wilty salad seems to be rather engrossing...He doesn't note Reyna's approach.

Joshua Coil: *The steaming cup is held defensively in his left hand. In his right, his cell phone is pressed to his ear. Listening to messages, presumably. He walks, really, without looking. Much. At least, his eyes go to a bench, and he sits down. A pause, as he realizes the bench is wet. A shrug, and he sits anyway, clicking off the phone when he's done.*

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: Yay. She's inconsequential. Dammit, there was a time once when people were afraid of her ass...she sighs lightly, and looks to him. "Hola, muchacho." She grins to him and holds up the unlit cigarette. "Ya got a light?"

Joshua Coil: d10: per+alert: 3,9,10,2,2,

Joshua Coil: *He looks up faintly over his coffee cup. Almost bemusedly, as he observes Reyna approaching the stranger.*

Jamie Randall: He blinks and frowns softly, though the expression smoothes away from his brow as he lifts his head towards Reyna, offering her a tight lipped smile. "I do."

rianna McCarthy: She shuts the phone and slides back to the bench where Jamie is, and now Reyna. Good, now Reyna is a disrtaction. She slides the phone away, and settles back onto the bench.

Jamie Randall: And Jamie picks up the salad, thrusting it at Bri, his eyes on Reyna as he says, "eat."

Joshua Coil: *He sips at his coffee, watching the two as some would watch a soap opera. The coyote is ALWAYS amusing. His eyes flick over to Brianna - yes, he recognizes her from work. She gets a raised chin as a greeting.*

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: "Awesome. C'n I get it offa ya for a second?" Her head tilts a little to the left, that snarky little grin plastered over her face.

Jamie Randall: The tight lipped smile turns into a broad grin and Jamie nods, shifting to dig his hand into his front pocket to fish out the lighter. " 'ere ye are, lass."

Brianna McCarthy: She sighs softly, looking up to him. "Look, please. I'm really not hungry, I'll eat something later, okay? Please." A little nod is given to Josh in return.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: "Lass. That's funny." She takes the lighter with a chuckle and holds it up, flicking it to life and setting the nicotine stick to flame. An opening drag is taken before he hands it back. "Gracias." A nod of hello is given to Brianna with faint recognition, before she looks around on the second drag.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: d10: Per+Alert: 6,3,6,1,8,5,

Brianna McCarthy: She smiles a little and nods back to Reyna.

Jamie Randall: He pockets the lighter in the breastpocket of his suit coat before flicking his eyes to Bri. "If I find out ye 'avenae eaten I'll be turnin' ye over me knee later."

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: Oooh, look. It's Josh. Amusement grows in her eyes, and she winks at Joshua before looking away, back to Jamie. The lighter is handed back over.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: ((Which she already did. *Thuds* Cut that second sentance.))

Brianna McCarthy: She just chuckles a little. "Sure Jamie."

Jamie Randall: He gives Bri this...look...This look that says he honestly has every intention of turning her over his knee.

Joshua Coil: *He raises a hand, and then waves it to her, as if giving permission to proceed.*

Brianna McCarthy: She just smiles amicably. Sure. He can -try- at some point.

Jamie Randall: He laughs and reaches over to muss Bri's hair. "Ye're a wee brat, ye are."

Brianna McCarthy: She scowls, and tries to push his hand away from her hair before he screws it up. "I'm not 'wee'. I could kick you ass anyday."

Jamie Randall: He laughs, shaking his head. "Yer a darlin' Brianna."

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: "Too...fuckin'...cute.... Must...get...away..." She makes a look of mock queasiness, and starts to stumble away dramatically. "Thanks...for...light..." Her pace weaves back toward her bench, and drops into a sitting position, grinning wildly.

Brianna McCarthy: She scowls at both of them, frowning and crossing her arms over her chest.

Jamie Randall: "Yer welcome, lass," he says, wishing Reyna wasn't wearing the damned coat as he watches her stagger away.

Brianna McCarthy: She slides her bag over her shoulder, and moves to stand. "I gotta get home."

Jamie Randall: He nods and pushes to his feet, reaching to draw Bri into a hug. "Ye 'ave me number, right?"

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: She takes a drag off her cigarette, alternating her glances between Joshua and Brianna/Jamie, as if trying to anticipate where the amusement will come in next.

Brianna McCarthy: She hugs him a bit back. "Yeah. Good luck with Kae." She waves a bit, and then heads off.

Jamie Randall: He nods and sighs.

Joshua Coil: *He watches Brianna go, still almost protectively. Old habits and their dying hard.*

Brianna McCarthy: And off she goes.

Jamie Randall: Shaking his head, the tall scot rolls up to his feet and dusts off his suit, fingers smoothing his tie before he retrieves her salad container.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: She pops her neck to either side and looks up at the overcast sky...damn. Freshly healed gunshot wound to the shoulder, a night's sleep on a bench...she must just smell PEACHY. She takes off the duster, depositing it on the bench, and stretches a little, trying to shake the rest of the soreness from her body.

Jamie Randall: He tosses the container and rolls his shoulders slowly, eyes flicking curiously towards Josh and Reyna.

Joshua Coil: *Again, he looks back over to Reyna, and he wrinkles his nose slightly.* You look like hell, *he offers, his voice croaking.*

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: "Thanks, Josh. You're lookin' like a peach yerself." She chuckles and sighs. "What a fuckin' night."

Jamie Randall: With a little shake of his head he moves out, heading towards the Concerto.

Joshua Coil: *He looks up curiosly.* I interrupt something? *he says, without asking.*

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: She blinks at that...then laughs. "Naah, yer cool. Just woke up, is all." She pats her bench a little.

Joshua Coil: *He pauses.* My ass is wet, *he mutters.* I sat in a puddle. So you're not allowed to mock.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: "Who's mocking?" She grins a little. "Turns out that when ya get in a firefight here in Battery, it just takes a lot outa ya. Who'da thunk it?"

Joshua Coil: *His eyes widen. And he sighs.* There was a firefight here? And I MISSED it? How is that possible? *He gets up, and moves to sit next to the woman. A tap of her shoulder. The injured one.*

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: Well, it's not injured now. Healing factors are your friend. "Show up when Miss Topless with the Uberguns and about 12,000 too many hours spent playing 'Quake' is around, and maybe you'll be luckier." She shrugs. "Bitch stole Harry from me and pulled her guns. I got 'im back."

Joshua Coil: *He pauses, and his eyes widen.* Topless... bitch? With uberguns? did she talk about... fragging, and made all sorts of gaming references?

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: "Like I said, 12,000 hours, too much Quake. Don't think there's two-a them runnin' round. Least, I hope not."

Joshua Coil: *He sighs.* I ran into her at the firing range. I think she might have been hitting on me. Or possibly wanting to kill me. I'm not sure any more. You need a place to crash?

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: A moment's frown, as she considers. "Well, I shouldn't, long as the Bitchmobile hasn't been taken..." She blinks. "Ummm. Fuck. How long after you've hit the meter time do the cops tow your car?"

Joshua Coil: I don't know, *he says with a shrug.* How long has it been there?

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: "Ummm..." She blinks, thinking, and checks her watch. Fuck. "I dunno...12, 13 hours?"

Joshua Coil: I'd check for it. Though more than likely it's been towed. *He shrugs.* You can get it back.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: "Yeah. Just hope it's not the one lucky enough to be randomly searched for drugs." She sighs. "Might have a problem there." Fuck. Can't anything go right, these days. Unbidden, a little chuckle starts to rise.

Joshua Coil: *He arches an eyebrow, but again, not asking. Her business.* Could drive you to the tow lot. Maybe you'll get lucky.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: She sighs a little, then nods, patting his leg briefly. "If you're willing, big guy, then I'd 'ppreciate it."

Joshua Coil: *He looks down at her hand there. Nono. No touchie. He looks back up.* Sure. Have to walk and get m'car, though. I don't know what the fees are. Do you have enough money to pay to get it out?

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: "Yeah, I'm sure I do. Long as no one stole my wallet..." She reaches down to pat her duster, and sighs with relief. Good. At least SOMETHING'S going right.

Joshua Coil: *He rolls his shoulders.* Or I could pay for it, and we could be even.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: "Nono." She laughs a little and shakes her head. "One dead body doesn't equal a few hundred bucks. 'sides, I got the fee here. My screw-up, after all."

Joshua Coil: It does in some cultures, *he says with a sigh.* All right. With luck, no one will have painted on it either.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: Her eyes widen, before a dark look passes through them. "They wouldn't dare..." Yeah, if that van's been painted on, someone's in TROUBLE.

Joshua Coil: It's New York, *he says, as if that explains all.*

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: "Son of a bitch..." She picks up the duster and slides it on. "Let's go get my damn car."

Joshua Coil: *He pushes himself up, and brushes off his hind end, frustrated.* Now?

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: She looks back to Joshua, blinking. "Oh." A moment's pause...shit, was she being a bitch. She shrugs, and shakes her head. "No, I guess not. We don't have to, that is. Not like it's goin' anywhere, right?"

Joshua Coil: Well, I guess we can, but... I was gonna go home and take a nap. *He shrugs.* But now's okay too. Just have to work in a few hours.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: She grins a little, and shakes her head. "Naah, s'cool, Josh. You can go nap. Don't want ya to be dead on your feet at work. That's never fun." Not that she's ever had a normal job in her life, but she doesn't imagine it would be fun to be dead on one's feet at work.

Joshua Coil: I have coffee. Let's go. *He rolls his shoulders, and a crack of his back with gritted teeth.*

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: A look over to him, her expression unreadable for a moment, and she nods. "All right." She sighs, and looks around. "Any idea where the towyard is?"

Joshua Coil: Not at all. Figure we'd call whatever card they left on the meter. *He shrugs, and looks up to the sky.* Raining again.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: She looks up and nods at the falling rain drops. "Yeah. Y'know...this whole rain thing still gets me from time to time. Don't get much of it in New Mexico."

Joshua Coil: Tended to get more snow where I'm from, *he mutters. He wipes his eye with the back of his hand as a stray raindrop hits it.* Let's go take a look.

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: "A'ight." She sighs a little and pats Joshua on the shoulder, leaning ever so slightly. "Let's find me a Bitchmobile. .....and thanks," she adds as an aside.

Joshua Coil: Not a problem, *he says with a nod, and turns, starting to walk. Lean or no lean, he moves.*

Reyna Varinina Reiruno: And she falls into step next to him, heading along with the big guy.

Joshua Coil -> Reyna Varinina Reiruno: ((And we can either play it later, or fade, as my nose is stuffly, and my head is ded.))

Reyna Varinina Reiruno -> Joshua Coil: ((Go, go. We'll figure it out later. *Hugs* Thanks for the scene.))
