Nathaniel Dikastis: He laughs heartily
then, and orders a cheeseburger, fries and large chocolate shake, looking to
Corbin to order.
Knife: (Gonna drop in a
PC..I believe Michelle is tagging along as well...if y'all don't mind)
Corbin Justice: ((good! Don't mind at all,
come on in!))
Corbin Justice: "Cheeseburger, well done,
with bacon, no onion. French fries, clam chowder, caesar salad with chicken, and
a large mocha."
Kittie: ((Where's this at and is it open *G*))
Corbin Justice: ((Random Cafe X, very open!))
Corbin Justice: "You um, really do that?" he
asks quietly when the waitress leaves. "That uh, you know, *stuff*?"
Michelle (Rauko): ((huggies people*))
Corbin Justice: ((*hugs*))
Gavriil Kazimir: *he walks beside the others
and motions up ahead to the restaurant* A greasy spoon...how fortunate of us to
come upon one.
Gavriil Kazimir: (*staples tag*)
Nathaniel Dikastis: He shrugs, "Sometimes,
but only if it feels right, 'n only with certain people. Don't make it a habit,
but I ain't gonna lie to ya. But for me to be on bottom... better be one
powerful ass dude, because I don't go for that shit normally."
Corbin Justice: He squicks, just shaking his
head and looks *triply* happy to see their shake and mocha coming. New subject.
"Lazer tag was a blast."
Michelle (Rauko): *She will be walking on
alone, very quietly next to Aerin, just seeming that if though she is forcing
herself to keep her eyes leveled up and walk straight, in the last days she has
just fallen onto more silence*
Gavriil Kazimir: Try not to look so happy
Michelle. It's freaking me out.
Nathaniel Dikastis: "Oh hell yeah!" We
gotta do that again. I'm surprised. Didn't know you liked that sort of thing."
Michelle (Rauko): *She simply peers
fleetingly to him, and ahead, holding her hands over her sleeves not to look
back down* I'mok
Corbin Justice: He grins. "I love it. Great
exercise, a lot of fun, and admit it, I DID kick your ass, got you on the first
blast."
Gavriil Kazimir: I'm sure you are...I'd hate
to see you distressed.
Nathaniel Dikastis: He snorts at Corbin,
after taking a drink from his shake, waiting on their food. "That's only because
I had to learn how to operate the shit. Don't take credit for that,
Corey." Grins then, "But we both blasted those little smartassholes, didn't we?"
Michelle (Rauko): *And doesn't answer,
simply looking ahead, fixedly ahead*
Corbin Justice: He laughs, lifting his
mocha. "I'll drink to that!"
Gavriil Kazimir: *he shakes his head* Staring
ahead like that...forcing yourself too..makes you look less human than you did
constantly looking down.
Michelle (Rauko): *There is a faint
frown, for an instant, and she looks off and slightly to the side, tugging
softly of her sleeves, but holds from responding to that*
Nathaniel Dikastis:
d10: Perc/Alert: 3,7,6,9,5,
Nathaniel Dikastis: He clinks his shake
glass against Corbin's, then notices Gav and Michelle, and whispers very quietly
to Corbin, "Hey, speaking of assholes, here comes your favorite."
Corbin Justice: He looks up and grins. "Oh,
cool." Nathaniel: "He's not bad, just give him a chance."
Gavriil Kazimir: *after passing by the window
of the cafe he reaches the door and pulls it open. He holds it open for strange
kinfolk and the conspicuously quiet Aerin*
Nathaniel Dikastis: "Yeah, sure, like a
rabid Rottie ain't bad..." he chuckles but quiets down as it seems Gavriil
enters the cafe.
Corbin Justice: Nathaniel: "No, seriously,"
he laughs. "Gav's pretty cool," he says quietly.
Nathaniel Dikastis: He just nods and takes
another sip of his shake, watching the couple.
Michelle (Rauko): *hmm... she quietly
slides inside, with a litte peer to Aerin, then to Gavriil.. and moves lightly
to the side, to waint for them in to move with them*
Gavriil Kazimir: *he spots Corbin and
Nathaniel* Well, well, never would've expected to find you two in a place like
this. *what he means is: How terribly unsurprising to come upon them in a greasy
spoon*
Nathaniel Dikastis: (Aerin is with them?
Sorry, didn't catch that. He notices Aerin as well, and watches the trio)
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He's apparently been
walking along. With his staff. Just quiet. The man has a lot on his mind, after
all. He steps inside with a distracted nod to Gavriil.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Yes, I've just been
trying to get in the scene. Messenger Hell BLOWS.))
Corbin Justice: Gavriil: "And I see that
you're out slumming, how unusual," he replies in much the same manner. But
spoils it with a grin. "Come and join us. Hey, Michelle."
Corbin Justice: "Hey, Aerin." A respectful
nod.
Michelle (Rauko): ((*snuggies the Ravyn
and puts pause on his messenger *))
Corbin Justice -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]:
((That's what you get when you send out blanket ICQs to all the Mage players.
*G* HOw many DID ping you back?))
Michelle (Rauko): *and those odd eyes peer
to Corbin, offering a little shy nod, and a ghost of a smile, but she stays
quiet for now*
Nathaniel Dikastis: He smirks up at
Gavriil, "Ya mean you didn't think we'de eat in a place below 4 stars? Sorry,
ain't got the kinda cash to eat there every night. Besides, the burgers here are
good."
Eva Kaiser: Eva
wanders into the cafe, having been out and about doing something. What that is
noones business but her own's really. She's in a sensible pair of jeans with a
cropped dark blue t-shirt with a black sun on the front. Her hair is short and
neat with a pair of dark wire rim glasses that adds a sense of intelligence to
the nordic beauty.
Nathaniel Dikastis: He gives a smile to
Michelle, but doesn't try to touch her, and certainly doesn't try to kiss her
hand again - that was a disaster before. So much for him being gentlemanly.
Gavriil Kazimir: *he shrugs a bit* Must be
depressing to be you. *he says to Nathaniel. His tone isn't hostile though, nor
condescending, perhaps he's making a joke* You don't mind if our little trio
spoils your commraderie?
Gavriil Kazimir: (ah!)
Michelle (Rauko): *the little nod is too
given to Nate, with a little look to him*
Corbin Justice: Gavriil: "That's why I
invited you, and the invitation is sincere."
Nathaniel Dikastis: He actually chuckles
at Gavrill, "Hell, no, just me 'n my bro sittin' here. Long as you don't insult
me too much, think I can stand lookin' at ya."
Gavriil Kazimir: *he nods to Corbin* I
figured I'd ask anyway..although deception is far from your strong
point..something I find most surprising.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Hey, guys." He nods
to everyone. "I don't think we're going to spoil any camaraderie, are we?
Everyone knows each other, it seems?"
Aerin Thomas [PB 3] -> Corbin Justice:
((Too damn many. I hate people who are cute and say "Okay!" when I ask them NOT
to message me back.))
Gavriil Kazimir: *he takes a seat and
looks back to Nathaniel* I'll try to keep my aura of friendship to myself.
Nathaniel Dikastis: He actually gives
Aerin a respectful expression and a nod, "Evenin', Mr Thomas, ya ain't spoilin'
nothin'."
Nathaniel Dikastis: He can't help it, the
way Gavriil phrased that has him chuckling some, and he scoots over in the booth
to make room for whoever wants to sit there.
Gavriil Kazimir: We'll have to hope Michelle
can keep her furious temper in check though. She's been going on and on about
wanting to spill some blood.
Eva Kaiser: Eva
looks around, then makes her way to the counter to place an order. Not seeming
to trust the waitresses if there are any in the place to get her order right.
Corbin Justice: Gavriil: "Perhaps I'm just
extra subtle, all the while rubbing my hands evilly behind your back." He smiles
to Aerin. "Be happy to have you." ((Rav: *L* That's awful.))
Corbin Justice: Gavriil: "You must be
rubbing off on her."
Michelle (Rauko): *she is still forcing
herself to look ahead, rather tense... so maybe when she grows tenser it isn't
that notisable, but she does seem to intake air sharpy, her hands trembling for
a moment*
Gavriil Kazimir: *he looks past the others
toward Eva...my my...he turns his attention back towards Corbin* That's terribly
convincing.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He glances over to
Eva, watching her a moment, before rolling his eyes at Gavriil's joke about
Michelle. "Very cute, Gavriil. How is everyone?" He pulls out a chair for
Michelle, then takes his own seat next to her once she's sitting.
Merik Dalen: *poof* He meanders into
the shop, supporting himself with a cane and wearing a dirty brown long coat.
His hair is wild and the expression *if looked upon* is sullen. He seats himself
at a single table and yawns.
Nathaniel Dikastis: He gives Gavriil a
dubious look, but just takes another sip of his shake, ignoring the temptation
of a comeback.
Gavriil Kazimir: Yes, they often tell me of
how I excel at cuteness, I've been practicing.
Merik Dalen: *he grabs a menu and peruses
through it*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Color change for
sanity. :) ))
Michelle (Rauko): *ergs... doesn't...
really seem to notice Gavriils words, or Aering gesture, as she rather...
nerviously turns faintly, like if to look around the place, peerin to Eva,
before looking to Aerin, like if she wans't sure of something, staring to bite
her lips inwardly to keep the closed, her hands closing over her sleeves*
Eva Kaiser: She
places her order, then heads back to a table of her own to relax and wait.
Sipping bottled watter while she waits for her food order. She does though
glance around to watch some of the others.
Gavriil Kazimir: *he glances around and spots
Merik* Ah, what a high class establishment we've chosen, next time let's plan
something...I'll even pay.
Merik Dalen: ((Sorry bout that))
Corbin Justice: Gavriil: "Sorry, not my type
of cute." Grins. Aerin: "Pretty good, how about you? How is Tori?"
Gavriil Kazimir: *he shakes his head at
Corbin* So, where is your lackey? Off...doing whatever it is one so suspcious
does at night? *probably speaking of Alexi*
Merik Dalen: *Seems to have settled upon
what he wants and puts the menu back*
Nathaniel Dikastis: Mutters, "Wonders who
says that is cute?"
Corbin Justice: "No idea," he says with a
shrug. "I'm not Alexi's keeper. Saw him last night, though. He's the same."
Michelle (Rauko): *and swallows,
sitting... and moving very close wishpering to Aerin*
Gavriil Kazimir: You're not? *he laughs a
bit* I'm sure that disappoints him to no end.
Michelle (Rauko) -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]:
that lady.... chaos and death....sheis...
watchingoverit
Gavriil Kazimir: *he looks at the whispering
pair* It's alright Michelle, no one will think you're getting fat if you get the
bacon cheese burger. *is he drunk?*
Merik Dalen: *shrugs his jacket off of his
shoulder and let's it collapse across the back of his chair. some dirt falls
from his jacket and falls to the floor.*
Corbin Justice: He looks curiously at Gavriil.
"Really? Why's that?"
Michelle (Rauko): *yellowish red eyes peer
a second to Gavriil and then off.. she though keeps tugging at her sleeves...
trying with all she can not to start peering about, but she is fidgeting*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Tori is...well.
She's up north right now, for safety reasons...but well." He listens to
Michelle's whisper, and nods a little in acknowledgment of it. Mention of Alexi
brings his attention back to the table, and he frowns. "Gavriil...is your
attitude purposeful or incidental?"
Gavriil Kazimir: *he shakes his head*
Aren't you some kind of rising star Mr. Justice? I'm sure he wishes to be the
tail to your comet.
Corbin Justice: Aerin: He grins. "Gavriil is
quite purposeful, but you have to admit, it's more refreshing than polite
chatter that says nothing."
Gavriil Kazimir: Incidental, I'm just joking
with Corbin here, I'm sure he'll tell you the same.
Merik Dalen: *finally a waitress arrives
and he places his order*
Michelle (Rauko): *and she looks a bit
to Aerin, unnable to avoid looking down for a moment, before forcing herself to
look back up, tugging all the while at her sleeves, hands resting on her lap*
Corbin Justice: Gavriil: It seems the Fang
has blind sided the Lord, who blinks. "Me? Well, I don't know about that."
Yes, he does. "But I'm keeping my eye on Alexi. He has a lot to prove, I
think."
Corbin Justice: Gav: He laughs. "Purposeful,"
he repeats. "But definitely joking." Aerin: "Really, it's cool."
Gavriil Kazimir: *he laughs as Corbin calls
him out..the Shadow Lord is right though, everything he does has a purpose*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He glances over at
Merik, looking him over for a long moment, then back to Gavriil and Corbin. "You
have a point, Corbin. And very forthcoming, considering the company he seems so
worried about and their probable intentions, if he's right."
Nathaniel Dikastis: He chuckles
slightly, hard to tell at what, and looks around, wondering where his burger is.
Gavriil Kazimir: Yes, I'd agree with that, he
has to prove that he has a more useful role to play than that of a yes-man.
Having such a follower does not really suit one of your..or my station for that
matter. *simply adds in the latter to affirm they're of the same rank..although
such is common knowledge*
Corbin Justice: Aerin: "You mean the rumors
about the prodigal son or some such?" He shrugs. "I'm not deaf to it. I know
what's being said. But I'll keep in contact with Alexi and make the judgment for
myself."
Merik Dalen: *Merik reaches back and down
into his jacket, fishing for something. He then pulls out a crumpled piece of
paper and methodically smoothens it out on the table*
Corbin Justice: Gav: "In truth, I don't care
for followers who want to hang onto my every word. I can see it becoming very
annoying, very quickly."
Michelle (Rauko) -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]:
((Michelle ment Eva on the vision erg.. realising I should be clearer))
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "No, I don't mean
that at all." He leans back and shrugs. "And those rumors are unimportant in the
extreme, as all rumors are. I'm fairly sure of it."
Nathaniel Dikastis: He does look
sideways to his brother, "Better to check deep, Corey, don't take shit at face
value."
Gavriil Kazimir: Indeed, now you know how I
feel about Michelle here, her constant immitation of my style of speaking and
acting is tiresome.
Michelle (Rauko): *and there is a nother
little look to Aerin, she is all the way very quiet, though she seems to be
peering faintly about*
Corbin Justice: Chuckles. "I'd rather have
someone around who says, 'hey doofus, what a STUPID idea, you'll get yourself
killed,' rather than 'oh yes sir, what a marvelous idea sir.'" Making the
appropriate voices for the sardonic comment and the smarmy one.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: And THAT draws a
sudden look from Aerin to Gavriil, eyes hardening. Joking or not, he doesn't
seem to appreciate unkind words toward Michelle, considering how she's likely to
take it.
Merik Dalen: *Merik pores over the piece
of paper for a few moments, then in a frustrated motion crumples it back up and
stuffs it back into his jacket causing more dirt to fall from it*
Michelle (Rauko): *a faint little frown
appearing hearing Gavriil, but she still doens not say a word*
Corbin Justice: Nathan: "I'm not," he says
quietly. "I promise you that."
Nathaniel Dikastis: He chuckles at Corbin,
"Then ya been lieing to me, bro, 'cause i've been tellin' ya that for years."
Gavriil Kazimir: *he casts a suspicious
eye on Merik once more* Ah, I'm glad I'm not actually eating here. *he shakes
his head who exactly that comment is directed at is anyone's guess*
Merik Dalen: *he glances over his shoulder
faintly in Corbin's direction and slowley returns to facing his table after the
statement quieted down*
Gavriil Kazimir: Aerin..do you mind if I ask
you a question?
Corbin Justice: Nathaniel: Smirks. Though he
gets that heebie-jeebie feeling and glances at Merik curiously.
Merik Dalen: *waitress returns with a
plain hamburger on a plate handing it to Merik, who presents a meak smile* Thank
you. *his voice harsh and raspy*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Shoot."
Corbin Justice: ~their food arrives, and
Corbin digs into his meal~
Nathaniel Dikastis: He glances to Merik as
the rest do, then looks to Gavriil, "Won't kill ya, or they'de be bodies all
over the street by now. Don't worry, they will give ya a near raw burger if ya
like."
Michelle (Rauko): *she frowns as the woman
is already gone, and starts fidgeting more, finally givin in looking down for
now... so quiet, listening*
Gavriil Kazimir: How is it..*he pauses* Not
that I don't feel it's warrented, she does need it...*he continues his previous
line of thought* That you've come to be responsible for her? I know you hold no
blood relation to her.
Gavriil Kazimir: *he refrains from making a
dismissive motion with his hand to Nathaniel. He keeps his attention on the
Adren*
Michelle (Rauko): *and blinks, half
looking to Gavriil, t hen down.. and off... well -that- comes out again... *
Nathaniel Dikastis: He gets his
cheeseburger, and immediately tosses the top bun aside to add a liberal amount
of ketchup.
Olivia Boehm: *She heads in to pick up her
take out order, head down as she texts something on her phone*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He shrugs a little
bit. "I've known Michelle for quite some time." He looks to the girl and smiles
softly. "Family has nothing to do with blood relations, and I know that very
deeply. Family is a state of mind, a feeling of connection to someone. Michelle
is my family in that respect...and I believe in protecting my family. Providing
all I can for them. So I arranged it."
Merik Dalen: *he devours most of his
burger and gulps down 1/3 of his water* -heavy sigh- *continues eating*
Gavriil Kazimir: *he nods taking in the
words, digesting them for a moment, and then considering them more fully* What
do her "parents" *he doesn't make the quote marks in the air but they're implied
in his tone* think of such an arragement?
Kelsey Horn: The young woman that stands
before you has long, dark blonde hair t hat hangs loose down her back and over
her shoulders. She takes in th e world with deep gray blue eyes fringed by long
lashes. Her full lips are rarely covered with more than a dash of lipgloss. She
has a strong, athe letic build that sometimes appears to be more delicate than
it actua lly is. Her complexion is fair but tanned. She's wearing a pair of
plain worn jeans and a simple light blue t-shirt. She walks into the Cafe with
Andy, her black skateboard tucked under her arm.*
Michelle (Rauko): *and she does look to
Aerin, tilting her head a tiny bit, like if she was just half looking*
Corbin Justice: He doesn't look around the
cafe now, as he focuses on eating.
Michelle (Rauko): 8(maan I am called...*poutS*
)) *and stays silen, in place* ((Be back as soon as I can))
Andy Gallo: Andy wanders behind Kelsey, feeling a
bit uneasy in the place. He gives a squint around behind greasy bangs. Andy
stands five feet eleven inches from the ground, untamed black hair falling just
over his dark tired eyes. Decent is hard to pin, a European mut for sure with a
slight lean toward Italian. He looks to be in his early twenties, just athletic
enough not to be considrered scrawny. He wears weathered ripped jeans, a ratty
t-shirt, and an army surplus jacket. He always has a black backpack slung over
his shoulders and a skate board either tucked under his arm or gliding under his
sneakers. (purebreed 2)
Nathaniel Dikastis: He looks then
carefully to the others around the table, suddenly feeling the need to simply
eat his burger.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Some dislike it," he
says, frowning some before he shrugs. "But the one that matters is comfortable
with it."
Olivia Boehm: *She is, in a word,
petite. It's the preferable term, as "cute" may get you punched. She claims to
be 5'1", though that may be stretching the truth a bit. Her German decent is
obvious in fair skin and blonde hair that's often worn in low pigtails, which
together with her size make her often mistaken for a child at first glance,
rathar than the young woman she is. Around her neck on a thin chain is a gold
pendant of a kitty face, ears perked, eyes set with small amethyst stones, and
the blue, hand knit kitty hat is cheerfully back in place, complete with jingly
bells on the tips of the ears* ((PB2 http://www.wodnyc.net/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&pos=-413
))
Natasha Carter(pb2): * she heads inside
the cafe doors, dark brown eyes of the obviously native american young woman are
tired and quiet,a leather satchel pack over her shoulder, faded ratty jeans that
have definately seen better days as has the beat up faded tshirt with dark
stains on it...her long dark hair is down and loose, pushed behind the copery
ruddy skin of her ears, leather moccasin boots on her feet make her steps quiet
when she moves, eyes towards the counter where she heads, showing off the beaded
native style choker that covers her neck when she raises her head to look*
Gavriil Kazimir: *he glances towards the door
when Olivia first then Kelsey and Andy arrive* My, what upscale clientele they
cater too here.
Gavriil Kazimir: (aieee! the pink followed by
the gold looks silly hehe)
Merik Dalen: *takes no note of the new
person entering, he reaches his arms back slipping them back into his jacket and
ruffling it up his shoulders, reaches into his pocket and deposits 2 bills on
the table and begins walking out of the establishment*
Corbin Justice: Gavriil: "Mmf?" Keeps on
eating, paying no further mind to clientele, 'upscale' or otherwise.
Andy Gallo:
d10: per+alert: 10,2,2,5,3,
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Gaah. Sorry, guys,
I'm going to have to pull from the scene. Can't keep my concentration with this
many people in it.))
Nathaniel Dikastis: Gavriil has his
eyes shift upwards from his burger to the door.
Nathaniel Dikastis:
d10: Perc/Alert: 4,6,10,4,8,
Andy Gallo: Andy's eyes narrow subtly on Gavriil,
lips curling into a tiny grin. He gives Kelsey's waist a squeeze and plays a
playful sniffing gesture. "Hmm.. I think I smell an ASSHOLE."
Kelsey Horn:
d10: per alert: 9,3,10,3,9,
Merik Dalen: *exits through the door*
((*Poof*)) http://www.wodnyc.net/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&album=1&pos=79
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He frowns as his
phone rings, and looks at it. "Crap...I have to go." He looks to Michelle. "You
gonna be okay here? I'm assuming Gavriil can see you home..." He looks at
Gavriil...not entirely comfortable with that, but he doesn't seem to have
another option.
Gavriil Kazimir: Perhaps you should pay
more attention after completing your business in the restroom then eh? *he says
in response to Andy*
Kelsey Horn: *She smirks a bit and shakes her
head at Andy's comment.* Indeed. *She leads him over to a different table since
the other man is apparently incapable of being polite.*
Michelle (Rauko): *she blinks, odd eyes
looking a moment onto Aerin's before she looks down and nods* I'll befine
*softly*
Michelle (Rauko): ((and back))
Gavriil Kazimir: *he turns his attention back
to Aerin* Of course I'll see her home. *not a stranger to walking the timid
kinfolk home*
Nathaniel Dikastis: He notices Andy, and
the others enter, but it is Natasha that draws the smile from him. He tries to
not be too obvious, but he makes a small wave to her. Hearing Aerin then, he
looks over at him, almost wishing he could say he would watch out for her, but
that would sound silly.
Andy Gallo: Andy.. surprisingly doesn't follow
Kelsey. He looks over to Gavriil "Dude, what the fuck is your problem?"
Olivia Boehm: *Ducking people without
necessarily looking at them, too busy texting as she aproaches the counter*
Natasha Carter(pb2): *fingers fidget and
play about the strap over her shoulder without her even really knowing she does
it, this many people in here....yeah....but her stomach is audibly
growling..digging into her pocket to pull out a couple of wadded up bills and
change, going and picking through it to count the dismal amount between looks to
the menu*
Kelsey Horn: *She stops when Andy doesn't
follow, blinking*
Gavriil Kazimir: *he laughs as Andy gets a
bit steamed* Calm yourself boy. I'm well out of your league.
Corbin Justice: He looks up at the others, a
nod to Andy and to Kelsey and to Livvy and to Natasha. "Wow, it filled up."
Taking no notice of Gav and Andy's spat.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods to Gavriil
and rises. "See you guys." A brief nod is given to Andy and Kelsey, before he
makes his way out. ((Thanks for the scene.))
Corbin Justice: "Goodnight, Aerin."
Michelle (Rauko): ((ugs Aerin tight))
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Gavriil...back off
Andy." A non-request, with a definite look shot to him, before he's gone.
Nathaniel Dikastis: He nudges Corbin,
whispering softly to him "Go tell Natasha to join us, she ain't got much, 'n I
kin pay."
Natasha Carter(pb2):
d10: per/alert: 7,3,9,5,4,4,5,
Michelle (Rauko): *and she peers Aerin
leave, her heads tugging at her sleeves.... as she.. listens to what is going on
now*
Nathaniel Dikastis: (Thanks for the scene
*Hugs*)
Andy Gallo: He blinks up to Aerin with a tiny
squint. Not.. insulted.. but almost. He huffs and steps back over to Kelsey. "Do
we HAVE to eat.. come on.."
Corbin Justice: "Natasha," he calls out at
Nathan's urgin. "Come on over, Nathaniel is treating."
Kelsey Horn: *She sighs* Yes we have to
eat, but we can do it somewhere else. Let's go check out that buffet I was
telling you about. *She nods at Aerin as he leave, gives a slight wave to Corbin
then turns to head right back out with Andy.*
Gavriil Kazimir: Ah, another of my adoring
fans. *he laughs a bit when Natasha meanders over. He nods to Aerin once more
and takes his attention away from Andy. * Just more rabble anyway.
Andy Gallo: He sneers and follows. "Whatever.."
Michelle (Rauko): *and well.... not...
having a real safe place to look at with eyes leveled up, she... faintly
reaches, to twirl faintly the dish in front of her, without a word*
Nathaniel Dikastis: He grins then, because
it eyes are on them, it is Corbin doing the inviting not him. His eyes though
turn to her invitingly, seeming very pleased to see her.
Natasha Carter(pb2): *she hears just as
she was looking up and about anyways, something of a smile comes to her face and
eyes when she sees who gives the call and what he says,..and who is sitting with
him too...then she sees gav and the smile falters a little , but she gives a
respectful nod as she orders a coffee(small), grabs it pays for it with the
change and heads their way with it clutched in her hands*
Corbin Justice: Waves to Kelsey, a quiet sigh
as she leaves.
Gavriil Kazimir: *he looks back to Michelle
and laughs quietly at what she's doing* You okay? *he asks her in a mostly
whispered tone*
Kelsey Horn: *She turns a glare over towards
Gavriil* Shut the fuck up, asshole. *And with that she practically drags Andy
out of the cafe*
Corbin Justice: He sees Natasha's expression
at Gavriil and very nearly laughs out loud. He has to grin at Gav. He just makes
friends everywhere he goes.
Michelle (Rauko): ((if anyone needs
Michelle desc poke =) )) *she blinks, with a little look to Gavriil, and a nod
of yes*
Gavriil Kazimir: *he waves sarcastically to
Kelsey and Andy as they depart*
Andy Gallo: Bring dragged, he flips Gav off with a
grimy finger
Corbin Justice: And Kelsey's response makes
him suddenly drop his head to his hands, shoulders shaking as he just...laughs
as quietly as he possibly can manage.
Michelle (Rauko): *just to reight away
stare back at the dish at all the.... hostility around*
Gavriil Kazimir: *he leans back in his chair
and winks at Natasha. He looks back to Michelle then* Did you want something to
eat?
Nathaniel Dikastis: Mutters, "'N I
thought I was bad with manners... damn."
Michelle (Rauko): *and shakes her head,
seeming about ti stay quiet, before she murmurs* no,thankyou
Gavriil Kazimir: Speak plainly. *he says to
Nathaniel.*
Natasha Carter(pb2): corbin, gavril*nodding
to them* michelle...*another nod towards her, then she looks to nate* nathaniel...*smiling
softly, moving to behind him(?) and putting a hand on his shoulder*
evening*sipping at her coffee*
Michelle (Rauko): *she offers a tiny nod
to Natasha in silence*
Corbin Justice: He looks up, recovers. "Gods,
Gavriil, you are terrific. You really, really are." Wipes away tears of mirth.
"Hi, Natasha."
Gavriil Kazimir: Wanna sit on my lap? *he
says to Michelle, with Aerin gone, he can joke with her a bit more freely.
Although of course she never gets jokes anyway*
Gavriil Kazimir: *he laughs a bit in response
to Corbin* Ah, that brings the count to 2 people in the city who find me
entertaining, only 7 million more to go.
Corbin Justice: Gavriil: "I swear, you could
make the Pope give you the finger. I love it."
Michelle (Rauko): *oh.. and Gavriil gets a
frightened fleeting near stare, before she actualy stares at her hands,
immidiatly tense*
Gavriil Kazimir: Michelle...it was a joke.
Nathaniel Dikastis: He reaches up, and
touches Natasha's hand, giving her a big smile, and motioning her to sit. He
frowns at Gavriil, "Damn, dude, 'n they say I ain't got no tact."
Michelle (Rauko): *a faint nod at Gavriil
acerment of joke, but she keeps staring at her hands... thankfuly they are still
on the table so at least she isn't staring down*
Nathaniel Dikastis: He reaches up, and
touches Natasha's hand, giving her a big smile, and motioning her to sit. He
frowns at Gavriil, "Damn, dude, 'n they say I ain't got no tact."
Michelle (Rauko): *a faint nod at Gavriil
acerment of joke, but she keeps staring at her hands... thankfuly they are still
on the table so at least she isn't staring down*
Gavriil Kazimir: *he turns his attention back
to Corbin* Others could point out my flaws if they so desired..I'm just usally
quicker on the draw than most I meet.
Gavriil Kazimir: (usually...stupid missing
letter)
Natasha Carter(pb2): *she smiles more at
the touch to her hand, squeezing nates shoulder before she takes a seat, near
him if she can, the pack set on her lap and the coffee set down, eyes flicking a
glance to gavril, rolling her eyes and sighing before she looks elsewhere*
Corbin Justice: Gav: He shrugs. "You're true
to yourself, anyway."
Gavriil Kazimir: *he shrugs at Nathaniel* Who
has time for pretty words or dancing around the truth?
Nathaniel Dikastis: He smiles again to
Natasha, it seems for the moment the rest of the table forgotten, "How are ya?
Ya want somethin' to eat? I can get it, whatever you want."
Gavriil Kazimir: *he reaches out to poke
Michelle on the shoulder lightly* Anyone home?
Nathaniel Dikastis: He sighs, and looks at
Gavriil, "Look, dude, I'm the first to say it as it is, everyone knows that, but
this ain't no club, 'n she ain't somebody to pick up... that line was crude even
by my standards, especially when it's obvious she ain't likin' that type of
shit."
Michelle (Rauko): *Which makes her flitch,
softly, and shrink her shoulders lightly, with a frown at something, odd eyes
just glancing to Gavriil a moment before peering towards the door*
Corbin Justice: He shrugs and goes back to
eating.
Gavriil Kazimir: *his eyes widen a bit at
Nathaniel* Enhance you calm. She's not a child, she's capable of speaking up for
herself, contrary to what you might think of her.
Natasha Carter(pb2): Ive got coffee, thank
you, Im fine...*giving him a quiet smile, shifting about as the stomach grumbles
again, nipping her lip*.....maybe a little something...if you are sure?
Corbin Justice: "I'm probably younger than
her," he chuckles. "How old are you, Michelle? 16? 17?"
Nathaniel Dikastis: Gavriil> "Course she
is capable, but hell, some thing' ya shouldna outta have to tell somebody else.
I got the sense of a yak, I know that, but I swear ya got one of a rock. Least I
can say this much, you are the same with everyone. You seem to hate everyone
equally."
Michelle (Rauko): *For a moment she almost
look like she won't asker... but she ends murmuring* sixteen
Gavriil Kazimir: I don't hate any of you,
such would not be worthy of the emotional investment, Michelle and I are
friends...I mean her no harm. I assure you of that.
Nathaniel Dikastis: He turns back to
Natasha, wondering why the hell Corbin likes this cold blooded insensitive
prick, of course, he isn't the best to think that... "They got lots of stuff
here, burgers to fish." he hands her a menu. "Pick what ya like!"
Corbin Justice: Michelle: Softly, "It's okay
to ask someone to please stop what they're doing if it makes you uncomfortable.
Even one of us. It really is okay."
Natasha Carter(pb2): *nodding to nathaniel,
one hand sliding to rest on her lap, the other flipping through the menu he
gives her, eyes between that and him and gavril now*
Michelle (Rauko): *there is a faint little
nod not do Corbin, but this time she doens't word anything*
Gavriil Kazimir: *he eyes Natasha in return*
Something to say sweetheart? *not something he'd normally say but what the
hell...he figures that'll get Nathaniel going again which is mildly amusing*
Natasha Carter(pb2): you do not have the
honor of calling me that....please do not, gavril.......*eyes on the menu when
she says it, quiet stoic face*
Gavriil Kazimir: Oh, pardon me, I forgot you
were terribly sensitive. *said to Natasha*
Nathaniel Dikastis: And that indeed does,
his eyes flare for a moment toward Gavriil, but since Natasha says something
first he doesn't, but the look he gives the other man is anything but pleasant.
Gavriil Kazimir: Don't hold back on my
account Nathaniel.
Michelle (Rauko): *and she frowns, seeming
each moment more tense, staring back at he rhands*
Nathaniel Dikastis: He looks at Gavriil
with an angry glint in his eye, "You speak of sensitive, ya know what the word
means? I ain't one to understand other's feelin's like I outta, but you go outta
your way to piss people off. Ain't sure why, less ya like bein' alone."
Corbin Justice: Gavriil: Calmly, "Natasha is
off limits for teasing." Firm.
Corbin Justice: Sighs as Nathaniel rises to
the bait.
Gavriil Kazimir: Don't hold back, tell me
what you really think.
Nathaniel Dikastis: "I just did, unless
ya ain't even capable of understandin' my words. Shit, you really can't be that
stupid."
Gavriil Kazimir: *he laughs a bit* Oh, I
understand quite well, I just don't care.
Natasha Carter(pb2): *sighing softly, she
looks to nathaniel, then to gavril* do you mind....please......for once....not
poking and prodding at someone at their expense to get a reaction?*eyes directly
on gavril now, one hand moving to gently rest on nates knee* I rarely get to see
those I care about as it is, I would ask , nicely that you respectfully
refrain.....at least for now, please?
Natasha Carter(pb2): (as it is anymore
should be)
Gavriil Kazimir: Those who're offended so
easily by simple words do not often fare well in...more pressing circumstances.
*he says probably referring to combat* Your brother here...he's learned that
lesson well...perhaps he'll teach it to you someday.
Gavriil Kazimir: As you wish. *he says
quietly to Natasha*
Nathaniel Dikastis: He rolls his eyes,
"That's obvious, you must want to stay alone," he then looks to Natasha
and sighs, "Sorry hun, I promise not to put poison in his drink, much as I'de
like. Now... forget him, he don't care about shit, I don't care about him...
what ya want to eat?"
Michelle (Rauko): *she just keeps quiet,
more then ever, only forcing herself not to stare down, right now*
Nathaniel Dikastis: He takes one deep
breathe, but he keeps his eyes on Natasha, not uttering the come back to Gavriil.
Natasha Carter(pb2): if he truly didnt
care he wouldnt have listened to my request....but...yes...food.....*a
respectful nod to gavril and a deep breath before eyes to the menu*....whats a
bananna split?
Corbin Justice: Leans back and stretches.
"And it's getting late. I wanted to catch South Park. Nathaniel, you wanna stay
for a bit?"
Gavriil Kazimir: *he looks back to Michelle*
Hey..*he he says to her quietly* Everything's fine. No one's getting angry.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Okay, now that it's
a reasonable size again, gonna give this another try)) He makes his way back to
the cafe, frowning at the false alarm. He rubs irritably at his eyes before
making his way to the door again.
Nathaniel Dikastis: He only responds to
the last comment from Natasha, "It's a dessert, a sweet. A banana sliced in half
with ice cream in the middle, normally chocolate strawberries and pineapples."
Nathaniel Dikastis: He looks up at Corbin
and grins, "You 'n your shows." A quick glance to Natasha. "Oh yeah, I think I
want to stay a while... see ya back home."
Michelle (Rauko): *her head tilts like
if she'll look at Gavriil but doens't, nodding just once, not a word*
Natasha Carter(pb2): *oh'ing softly, she
almost smiles at that description, then looks up to corbin* it was good to see
you corbin.....be well....*nodding to him gently*
Gavriil Kazimir: Leaving so soon? *he asks
Corbin as he notes that Aerin has returned. The only one who laughs at his jokes
leaving...and the fun police returning. Perhaps he should head out as well*
Corbin Justice: Nathaniel: "Hey! Respect my
au-thor-i-TAY." He grins and winks. "Later bro. Night, Gavriil, Natasha,
Michelle."
Michelle (Rauko): *yellowish red eyes
looking to Aerin, at least she then opens her hands, but still stays quiet*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He pushes the door
open and slips inside, looking up and around, noting those who have left, and
nodding to those still there. "Hey, guys. Sorry about that."
Michelle (Rauko): *and softly to
Corbin*goodnight
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Leaving, Corbin?" He
looks to the man and offers a faint smile. "I'll see you later, then."
Gavriil Kazimir: *he stands slowly* I shall
make my way home as well. Michelle will just have to do with waiting to see me
again in her dreams. *he winks at the timid girl if she peers up at him* Good
night all, be well, and stay safe.
Natasha Carter(pb2): *looking up to
aerin(shes sitting next to nathaniel now), she blinks, then nods gently to him*
it wouldprobably be better if I ate something more, wouldnt it?*looking to
nathaniel with a wry grin*
Corbin Justice: He smiles and nods
respectfully to Aerin, and heads out. ((Have to be winding down for bedtime.
Thanks for the scene!))
Michelle (Rauko): *that sets her a faint
frown again, as her eyes show confusion, nearly peering to Gavriil again, she
doens't*
Michelle (Rauko): ((night Cob *hug*))
Gavriil Kazimir: (Cob hehe)
Nathaniel Dikastis: He nods again in
greeting to Aerin, then looks to Natasha, "They have good salads here too, Jez
got one the other day with little strips of grilled chicken in it."
Michelle (Rauko): ((*blinks, adds the 'r'
there*))
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He looks at Gavriil
and shakes his head, smirking slightly. "Be well, Gavriil. Good night." He nods
to him and moves to take a seat next to Michelle, nodding to Natasha with a
smile. "Hello."
Gavriil Kazimir: *he nods to the gathering
once more before he heads to the register. Strange because he didn't even have a
glass of water. Those who pay attention can see him handing over some money and
pointing at the table he just left. Likely though the gesture isn't one of
generosity so much as it is a condescending gesture of charity to the low-born*
Natasha Carter(pb2): a salad with meat in
it....I thought salads were supposed to be vegetables though?*blinking a bit,
tilting her head at him* I must seem silly asking these things...*quirk of a
smile as she nips her lip, she looks over to aerin and nods once more* evening
sir
Nathaniel Dikastis: He glances at Gavriil
as he is leaving, "Yeah, we'll all wait with bated breath until we can rejoice
in seein' your pleasant self again." He says it low though, not really wishing
to antagonize, but not seeming to be able to help himself.
Michelle (Rauko): *she slides faintly
nearer Aerin, keeping quiet, and forcing herslef not to look again to Gavriil..
for more his words made her.... odded out*
Nathaniel Dikastis: He chuckles at
Natasha, "Well, the current 'fad' is health food, so everyplace just about has a
few different salads... like normal ones, then ones with chicken, shrimp and
such."
Natasha Carter(pb2): *nathaniels comment
gets a gentle tickling poke to his side, a bit more of a lip twitch* you are the
one that knows how to cook,....what would you recommend?
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He grins a little at
Nathaniel's words, and then extends a hand toward Natasha. "I'm Aerin."
Natasha Carter(pb2): *looking(almost
reluctantly*G*) from nathaniel towards aerin when she notices the hand, she
moves her own forward and gives a decent shake when she takes his* Natasha Mr
Aerin......
Nathaniel Dikastis: He leans over and
forgets for a moment, kissing her cheek. "Whatever ya want, but if you want
healthy... spinach salad with grilled chicken, ya wanna be like me... have a
nice greasy calorie filled cheeseburger 'n fries."
Michelle (Rauko): *she just remains quiet*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "A pleasure to meet
you, Natasha." He smiles and nods to her, his handshake firm, yet warm. He leans
back when he's done with that, looking over to Michelle...noting her quietness.
It's...more quiet then usual, even.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]:
d10: Per+Emp (Michelle): 9,2,1,8,2,8,8,
Natasha Carter(pb2): 'they' love
fries......I suppose....some of those would be good...if you would share them
with me?*barely a blush to the kiss to her cheek, but definately more of a
smile*
Michelle (Rauko) -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]:
((well she-has- been more quiet then usual since Arn. She is tense, and
confused,... and slightly upset right now, but is as nearly alwasy when she gets
to upset just holding it in, and stayiing still))
Nathaniel Dikastis: He looks from Natasha
to Aerin and back, then whispers softly to her, "He's a good man, Mr Thomas is,"
He smiles then, and offers her a fry from his plate.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He smiles a little,
disarmingly, at Nathaniel's words. "Just a guy who tries his best." He shrugs
the praise off and looks back to Michelle, leaning in to murmur to her.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3] -> Michelle (Rauko):
"Is everything okay, Michelle? You know you can tell me...I won't get upset..."
Michelle (Rauko): *she tilts her head,
which makes her seem in a bit shrking, but listens to Aerin without backing away
from him, before she.... kind of murmurs back*
Michelle (Rauko) -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]:
I...I'llbefine *faintly* th..therewasto.. manypeople ((is not exactly, but is
part of))
Natasha Carter(pb2): *the whisper gets a
look to nathaniel, and she nods, smiling softly* alright...*taking a fry from
his plate and nibbling on it* thank you....
Nathaniel Dikastis: He motions to the
waitress and orders Natasha a salad,however she wants it, and her choice of
drink.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods a little bit
and smiles to Michelle. "It's okay now," he says quietly. "You're okay with the
apartment, right? I know it's a bit crowded right now, but we're going to be
getting a house soon. It'll be a little less hectic there."
Michelle (Rauko): *she blinks and nods,
lowering her eyes a little bit* I'mfine *nodding with an atepmt to a smile*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He smiles and reaches
over to lightly touch her shoulder. Just a gentle show of comfort. "What about
Annette? Is she okay there?"
Natasha Carter(pb2): *spinach salad, like
he recommended, and juice(orange juice) are what she asks for, leaning a little
closer almost to nate when the waitress goes away*
Ntwadumela: Mel pushes his way into someplace where
he can get a bite to eat before heading home.
Michelle (Rauko): *she blinks, but doens't
back away, or flitch like she does with others, wishpering* Ithink.. she misses
Ewan... but... she... atleast... likesthe change....
Nathaniel Dikastis: After he orders he
listens to Aerin talk, but he seems very content to sit beside Natasha, although
he does whisper to her, "How are the munchkins?"
Natasha Carter(pb2): good..they were happy
to hear how you liked their presents....very happy....they want a picture of
you....*smiling softly, despite herself slipping a hand to hold his*
Knife: (One..two..Spirals
comin for you..)
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((*Kills the Spirals
with a Prime Bol...er. I mean. Shit*))
Nathaniel Dikastis: His fingers tighten
on hers, "Well... ain't got any really, but guess I could get in one of those
photo booth things, if that's what they really want."
Michelle (Rauko): ((*giggles*))
Ntwadumela:
d10: notice people?: 6,6,5,5,5,4,
Nathaniel Dikastis: (*Swats KF)
Ntwadumela: Mel grins as he sees a few
familiar places, just grabbing a coffee (or maybe some sugar and creme with
splash of coffee in it) and heads over to the group.
Nathaniel Dikastis: His eyes on Natasha,
he doesn't immediately notice Mel.
Natasha Carter(pb2): it is...they miss
you...and the messes you would make together...*still speaking quietly, smiling
softly*
Nathaniel Dikastis: Speaking quietly
back to her, "I miss them too... promised 'em to take 'em campin', 'n I will
come summer time... 'n when all this is behind us."
Michelle (Rauko): *and she stays quiet
again, twirling softly and slowly her sleeves*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He smiles and nods a
little to Michelle. "I think she'll probably like it when we get the house. I
think...you will, too. Nice to have a place to call home again, huh?"
Michelle (Rauko): *Glances to him, there
seems to be for a moment soemthing alike... sadness and she ofers a ghost of a
smile, with a little nod* she'll likethat
Nathaniel Dikastis: (Ah, brb, gotta..
eh... need to nature, bb)
Ntwadumela: ((Ahh. Scratch that, gotta go
for a minute))
Natasha Carter(pb2): soon...*nodding ,
looking to him softly and wistfully* we need to do this more often....but...I
would understand if you say it would not be wise....*blinking slowly, but
sounding hopeful*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Good." He nods a
little. A sympathetic smile is given to the girl. "It's been a while for you
guys, hasn't it? Since you've had a place that really felt like home?"
Michelle (Rauko): *she blinks, looking
down, still for a mometn before she nods* ithas *her voice nearly a sigh*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "I'll get you that
again." He reaches up and puts his hand on her shoulder, squeezing comfortingly.
"I promise."
Michelle (Rauko): *she glances again to
him, giving him a faint, little smile, with another tiny nod, before she
wihspers* thankyou
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "You're welcome," he
says with a nod. "I'll be very happy the day we find you that place."
Michelle (Rauko): *she tries to keep the
little smile, but she glances down again, maybe not sure what to say, or to
unsure that's posible*
Nathaniel Dikastis: He nods to Natasha, "I
wish I could, but... I don't ever know what's..." He glances around, perhaps a
bit nervously, "I want you 'n the little ones safe. That's more important at the
moment."
Natasha Carter(pb2): *sighing, nodding and
lowering her gaze for the moment* I know....I understand...I just wish it wasnt
so...*unable ot find words she just shakes her head*
Ntwadumela: ((*rewind, repeat*)) Mel
arrives at the table with a grin. "Room for one more, or this a private party?"
Nathaniel Dikastis: He grips her hand
tighter, "I know, 'n hopefully things will get better soon, but..." He drops his
voice and leans towards her closer, "No reason to give 'em more targets."
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He smiles to Michelle
and leans back in his seat, comfortable. He knows he'll do it. After all, he
brought a vampire back to life. How hard can this be, in comparison?
Michelle (Rauko): *she glances to
Aerin, then at the voice the Mel, and just back to the empty place in the table
in front of her*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He looks up at Mel and
smiles at him. "Always room for one more, Mel. Nice to see you...how are you?"
Nathaniel Dikastis: He glances up at Mel
and grins, "Hey ya, Mel, how's it goin'?"
Natasha Carter(pb2): *nodding tohim
quietly, she leans her head on his shoulder, taking that one small liberty, then
looks up to mel* evening
Ntwadumela: "All my insides are inside, so
I'd say I'm doing great." Mel slides into an open seat.
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "That's always a good
thing," he says with a nod.
Nathaniel Dikastis: "Ya know, I always
have thought you have a funky way of answerin' simple questions."
Michelle (Rauko): *she nods a little bit
to Mel, quiet*
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((And...much as I'd
like to stay around, I can't. I'm tiring out, and work calls tomorrow. Aerin
will, however, stay until Michelle is ready to leave, just staying mostly quiet.
Thank you for the scene, guys.))
Michelle (Rauko): (8oh if you want they
can go Rav *snugs*.....))
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Up to you, Michelle.
Don't wanna depirve you of play time.))
Ntwadumela: ((Get some sleep. Work is
important. No pay bills, no go online.))
Michelle (Rauko): ((hmmm is just....*snuggies
all* she isn't exactly all talktative..))
Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Yeah, I'm outtie. If
Michelle leaves, he leaves with her...or he stays. See you guys! *Hugs all
around*)))
