Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *After calling
CR to let him know they was on their way to the meet. Roxy leads Dave to the
coffee/comic shop. Going inside at once, pausing a moment to look the place over
looking for CR as she takes a drag from her cigarette*
David Poe: * The kid takes a look around
and smiles. * " Looks like a place KS might own. "
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *A very attractive
teen girl with a pale complexion, just under average height with a petite frame
curved just enough in all the right places. Short raven black hair hangs just
past her chin, dyed with red streaks and bangs, her right bang hanging down
obscuring the right side of her face, while her left bang frames her face. Thick
black eye liner and black eyeshadow highlights her brilliant green eyes and
black glossed lips.Wearing a pleated black mini-skirt, with black satin bow,
sheer black stockings, with a pair of black short tomb buckle boots. A black
cropped tight baby-tee, emblazoned in pumpkin orange lettering "I Do Tricks for
Treats", exposing her midriff and bellybutton ring. Around her neck is a black
velvet choker, with a silver pentacle hanging from it resting in the hollow of
her throat.* (( http://www.wodnyc.net/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&album=1&pos=15
))
C.R.: He's
leaning against the counter, an issue of Squee in his hands, clove
resting between his lips. He's dressed as per his usual...an Alien Sex Fiend
T-Shirt, PVC pants, and the Docs. The black eyeliner is thicker then normal, and
the lipstick is a dark crimson, rather then the red. He looks up as Roxy and
David come in, grinning. "Ahh, my favorite Roxy in the world. And this must be
David. Evenin', guys."
David Poe: * A handsome young man,
standing roughly six feet tall with a lanky build. Stringy, dirty blond hair is
cropped close, while his intelligent, deep, brilliant shade of blue eyes draw
you in. Full lips and a strong chin draw attention from his bright eyes. Dressed
in a pair of retro ADIDAS kicks, a black t-shirt with the sleeves cut off to
expose his less than impressive arms. Stenciled on that back of the shirt is an
image of Che Guevara. Faded black jeans with a brown belt and intricately etched
silver and black buckle.*
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *smiles to CR and
heads over to him*
David Poe: " Yeah I'm Dave. Nice place. "
C.R.:
"Thanks. I like it." He chuckles and puts the comic on the counter, a plume of
smoke escaping his lips. "Nice to meet you, David. I'm C.R."
David Poe: " Yeah, I saw you that night in
the club when the girls spoted you finaly. The had been looking through the
clubs for like weeks. So you wanted to talk to me about this thing? "
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *stays silent
as this is really between them. Takes a drag off her cigarette and looks around
at anything new since her last vist*
C.R.: "Sure.
C'mon, let's go cool our heels for a bit." He heads across the width of the
store, to a table, and pushes a chair out, sitting down.
David Poe: * He glances too Roxy before
following along to take a seat at the table. * " I dont really know what it is
that you want to know so if you just throw out questions and I answer them it
will probably work best. "
C.R.: He
tosses his pack of Djarums onto the table with a lighter. "Community pack, feel
free." He leans back in his seat, watching David with a little smile. "And
well...tell me a bit about yourself, to start. I don't know much about you
yet...and I'm intensely curious."
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *Follows behind
them after a moment unles CR gives her a sign to stay away and let the boys talk
in private*
C.R.: He
looks over at Roxy with a grin, not seeming to mind her being around.
David Poe: " Not much to say really. I am
ninteen years old, almost twenty. I am attending Columbia University on a full
ride scholarship and in my spare time I have a hobby where I take pictures of
naked girls and put them on a website that people pay money to be a member of. "
* He stretches out his legs under the table infront of him and looks across at
the guy. *
C.R.: "I
know. I'm a fan of your work." He chuckles, and nods. "What about your magical
self?"
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *takes a seat and
glances to CR at the fan of his work comment.*
David Poe: " I am still exporing that
really. I never really thought of what I do as magic until fairly recently. Roxy
tells me that the way I do things reminds her of the virtual adepts and I can
see how from speaking with a few of them. I just dont really buy into some of
the philosephy they seem to have going on. Plus they are so hard to talk too it
leaves me thinking that they might be holding back on me. I dont know. "
C.R.:
"V-A's." He sighs. "Cool party boys, but they're way too elite for the rest of
us." He rolls his eyes. "Not that they don't have their use. I've known a couple
of cool ones. Just...not a fan of their 'We're better then you' attitude."
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: Thats no diffrent
than any of the other Traditions hardly. *takes a drag off her cigarette and she
mutters a comment*
David Poe: " I dont dislike the two that I
have spoken with, but they are just really closed off and if following that path
is going to change me somehow and I might end up like them then I am just not
sure its the thing for me. I mean, I am not going to stop doing things the way
that I do them, but geting pidgeonholed into dogma like that just is not my
thing. "
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *can't help but
smile a bit at Dave's responce. Though mostly covers it up by taking another
drag off her cigarette*
C.R.: "Most
of 'em, yeah." He shrugs to Roxy, and grins at David's response. "I like that
answer. You've got potential."
David Poe: " He smiles at that. * "
Everybody has potential. Some have the potential to be dicks though. All I can
say is that I am trying really hard to not be a dick. "
C.R.: "So
far, so good." He chuckles. "So, then. You're essentially a Self-Awakened,
non-aligned one, then...sorry, I HATE the word Orphan, it sounds like someone
who needs to be pitied. Typical Tradition bullshit."
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: Ronin sounds
better. Sounds like someone compitent that chooses to stand on their own and
forge their own path.
C.R.: He
considers. "Ronin...not bad. Fits the description, has the cool anime feel to
it..." He nods. "I like it."
David Poe: * He shrugs at that. * "
Yeah its a putdown but its easier than saying Whats up self-awakened, non
aligned one. " * Another smile as he lites a cigarette. * " Oh, and I smoke too.
I also know security systems and how to repair shit when it breaks. My mom did
that for a living and I learned all that stuff. I can make your DVD player stop
blinking midnight. "
David Poe: " Oh yeah. I like Ronin alot
better. Makes me feel like a badass. "
C.R.:
"Awesome. Someone who can actually keep the game systems and DVD player in
working order. Can you make our cable be free?" A wink to the man. "And yeah...I
think we're all smokers here. It's kind of a staple of the Hollow One
lifestyle."
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: That and coffeee.
David Poe: * He rolls his eyes at that. *
" Man if you ever decided that you needed to say something to everyone that is
watching chanel fifty one at four twenty in the morning I could do that too.
Free cable is easy. "
C.R.: "Mmm...coffee."
He looks over to the counter, where the espresso machine rests behind it. "Yeah,
coffee good."
David Poe: * He takes a drag off his
cigarette and smiles. * " Coffee is awesome. Got any Lobo comics around here? "
C.R.: "Rawk."
He nods. "All right, so you're scoring major points with me so far. What do you
need to know from my end?"
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *just goes back to
listening. Taking a final drag off her cigarette she stubs out the butt in the
ashtray*
C.R.: "Well,
we aren't DC fans here--the Big Two can blow me--but I think we keep a couple of
the Vertigo books around, and yeah, I think we got some Lobo, too. Anything
intended to make fun of the fanboy-fave claw-man is cool with me."
David Poe: " Just what do you want out
of me if I come in? I want too from everything that I have been told about it,
but if there is anything special that you guys expect from Orp... Ronin's it
would be cool to know about that up front. "
C.R.: "Naah...nothing
expected, just 'cause you're a Ronin." His head shakes. "We Darklings...almost
all of us woke up on our own, after all, so we're all Ronin, of a type. We just
organized, is all, under a common theme. So we wouldn't expect anything from you
just because of who you are. Beyond that...follow the rules of the Chantry, as
Roxy here's kindly laid down and we've all approved. And I think that's about
it."
David Poe: " That sounds fine with me
then. I did not have any problem with the rules she told me about. "
C.R.:
"Fabulous." He grins, and nods. "You got my vote, for whatever that's worth."
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: Well if we are
staying as a democracy thats three of four votes.*glances to Dave* You still
need to talk to Cori but more or less this is it.
C.R.: He
looks to Roxy with a smile. "Aww...should I vote no, just to add to the
suspense?"
David Poe: " Cool. You need my contact
info or anything. I mean I will hang out down here sometimes even if I dont get
in if thats cool. " * Then he looks over too Roxy. * " I dont have any idea how
to get intouch with her either. "
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *shakes her head
slightly at CR* Well no, I woul rather you didn't. *said with a slight smile,
then glances to Dave* Already called her but she said she might not be able to
make it.
C.R.: "Ahh,
all right." He glances back to David. "Contact info would be nice. Roxy can
teach you the pass-gesture to get down into the Chantry, once you're capital O
official."
David Poe: * He shakes his head at CR's
comment. * " I like the CR thing. I would start calling myself DP but that might
come off the wrong way. "
C.R.: That
brings a laugh. "Yeah...I think it probably would."
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *Gives Dave a look
like he is a dork* No, cause then i would be AJ and thats just wrong.
David Poe: " Is a pass gesture just what
it sounds like? " * He takes out a pen and his notebook to write his stuff down.
* " Sucks if she cant make it. "
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: Um don't know
depends on what you think it is. Basicly it is what you need to do to get past
the wards that protect things.
C.R.: "What
the lady said." He nods.
David Poe: " Thats pretty much what I
thought that it might be. Yeah that would be a good thing to know. " * He tears
off the sheet of paper and passes it across the table. * " So you like my work,
huh? " * He glances to Roxy and winks. *
C.R.: "I do."
He chuckles and takes the offered paper, folding it up and slipping it into a
pocket. "Any chance you give a discount rate to chantrymates?"
David Poe: " That all depends on if I
get free coffee or not. "
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *rolls her eyes,
wondering how many of the girls of the chantry will end up on the web page
already 2/3rds of them are up on it. Herself and Erika*
C.R.: "All
you want. Everyone who's a member is an 'employee' of the shop." He does the
quote mark gesture around employee. "No duties, no pay, but all the free coffee
you want...and it helps when it's only the employees heading into the back room,
to access the Chantry itself. Plus, hey, a buffer for the resume, if you ever
want to get into retail."
David Poe: * He chuckles. * " Cool. Give
me your email and I will send you a guest pass. "
C.R.: He
grins and plucks a business card for the shop out of a holder on the table,
scribbling on the back before handing it over. "Shop's phone and fax number on
the front, too...my cell and the phone downstairs are on the back."
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: Something we
should decided is if we are going to wait on naming a hereld or not. I mean
right now if we just fill out the Deacon postions. Which for the record I am not
found of the name, but i degress. Anyways that would be almost all of us, being
as we are up to only five if you count Dave here.
C.R.: "I say
we hold off on Herald, for now, myself. Wait till we pick up a couple more
people."
David Poe: " What is a hereld? And a
Deacon for that matter. I really hope you dont mean I am going to get preached
at. " * He smiles, knowing its probably not about preaching. *
C.R.: "Naah,
no preaching." He lets a little grin slip. "The Deacons are the heads of the
Chantry, basically...a Herald is like the Ambassador to the other Chantries."
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *nods in agreement
with CR* One of the Deacons... if we can't come up with a better name for them.
I kinda like Lords and Ladies but... yeah*shrugs a bit then glances to Dave* A
hereld is someone that acts as are represeative to go speak to the other
chantries and who ever else we have dealings with. Deacons... are those incharge
of running the chantry. We plan to have a vote every year to keep things fair on
who gets what postions.
David Poe: " Ah okay. " * He points at
Roxy... * " Do not let them make you the hereld then. You would not be very good
at that. "
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: Bite me bitch.
David Poe: " I might. "
C.R.: "And
he claims you're not tactful." He winks.
David Poe: * He smiles and leans back in
his chair. * " Well thanks for hearing me out. Will try to get togeather with
Cori to talk to her as soon as possible. I think I will like it here though. "
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: Well that will be
up the the deacons anyways and most likely one of them will fill in, But our
options are fairly limited. Erika has shown no desire to be a hereld and likes
the Trads less than i do. *glances to CR* Unless you want to but I imagine you
want to keep yourself hidden from most still.
C.R.: "Yeah,
not real big on hopping back out into the politics fire again, myself. Hated it
the first time."
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: Not to mention
keeping you a secert might be a nice ace in the whole on down the road.
C.R.: "True
to that, as well."
David Poe: * He just listens to them speak
and tries to follow along. *
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *nods with a
slight smile* Well I guess thats it, at least until Dave talks to Cori then I
can take him to the chantry and give him the grand tour.
David Poe: {{ ICQ is screwing up on me so
if you are trying to talk to me I am not ignoring you. }}
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: ((is for me too it
has crashed twice so far))
C.R.: ((Yeah,
it's being evil.)) "All right." He nods. "We're pretty well set, then."
David Poe: * He soon grinds his cigarette
out in the ashtray and stands with a grin. * " Okay, going to head home and get
that pass set up for you. "
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: Alright, I will be
home in a little while.
David Poe: " Cool. Talk to you later, Roxy.
Cool meeting you, CR. "
David Poe: * And with that he turns to
head for the door. *
Anastasia "Roxy" Jones: *Stays to talk a
little shop about the chantry with CR. For a bit* ((*fade* getting late but
something she would have doen just talking about mundane stuff))
C.R.: "You
too, David. See you soon."
C.R.: ((Cool
cool. Thanks for the scene, guys.))
David Poe: * With a wave over his shoulder he is gone. *
