Jeff Brolin:
d10: per+alert: 7,3,9,8,
Jeff Brolin: *Of course
he notices her. His footsteps move to the beat of the song, carrying him towards
the odd girl. Everything about him moves like a dance.*
Sha-Sha: *She's not particularly observant
tonight, but that's not terribly unusual. She keeps glancing towards the DJ
booth and it's distracting her.*
Jeff Brolin: *He sidles
up to her, and grins. Oblivious. He leans forward to lick her ear.*
Sha-Sha: *She really doesn't notice him
until he's practically on top of her. Then blinks.* Oh, hi...what would you
like?
Sha-Sha: *She jumps at that and takes a
step back* Um...*Even through the make-up he can see the blush renew.*
Jeff Brolin: Mmmh? Oh!
Yeah! Drink! *He then moves to a barstool.* Cowboy cocksucker.
Sha-Sha: Yeah...drink...*She takes a long
pull off hers, as promised, paying for his.*
Jeff Brolin: *He grins,
and his shot arrives. He throws it back with little effort, though like any
shot, it leaves him wanting. He licks his lips, and then smacks them idly.*
Another? *His grey eyes, so wide, almost child-like. Pleading, begging.*
Sha-Sha: *She laughs, the look enough to
relax her a little* Sure, no problem. *She looks at the bartender as she
finishes her glass.* Make it two.
Jeff Brolin: *He grins,
and then bounces on his stool. Someone's in a good mood. He throws back the
second shot.* I didn't bring the git back, *he says, with a sigh.*
Jeff Brolin:
((back=with))
Sha-Sha: *She downs hers as well.* Oh
that's alright. It'd probably be hard to hear over the music anyway. So what
kind of music does the band play, I just realized the other day I never asked
Keith.
Jeff Brolin: Well...
yanno, we've just been jamming. Some hardcore stuff. I can pretty much improv.
Sha-Sha: *She nods* That's cool. You guys
do mostly your own stuff or stuff that's already been done?
Jeff Brolin: Mmmh...
right NOW? Covers, though I think Keit's writin' some shit. I'm too lazy, and I
fuckin' hate poetry.
Sha-Sha: *She laughs and nods* That's
cool. Then I'll probably know some stuff. Be harder if I've never heard the
stuff you play. *She smiles*
Jeff Brolin: *He
smirks.* Wish they'd open themselves up from the hardcore, though. Little
Beatles never hurt anyone.
Sha-Sha: Hmm...yeah but most Beatles just
doesn't sound right with a female voice.
Jeff Brolin: You know
Mary Prankster? *he asks, with a BIG grin.*
Sha-Sha: *She thinks a moment then shakes
her head.* Don't think so, who is she?
Jeff Brolin: *He
sighs.* I'll copy you a c.d.
Sha-Sha: *She nods* Alright. So what's
your favorite kind of music?
Jeff Brolin: *And he
looks as if she's just handed a starving man a menu.* Music, *he says with a
laugh.*
Christian Gallagher: In through the front
door he comes, running a hand through his hair. The man is in his usual dress,
with jacket and jeans, the T-Shirt today saying with an angry looking sheep on
it that says "Baaaaa Means Noooooo!" ((http://www.tshirthell.com/store/product.php?productid=492))
He adjusts the backpack hanging off one shoulder and makes his way toward the
bar.
Sha-Sha: *She laughs* Well, then, what
do you listen to most often? *Maybe?*
Jeff Brolin: Mmh... *He
seems to ponder that.* Classical, techno, opera, oldies, jazz, blues,
alternative... I switch out everything. Only thing I don't listen to is country.
Sha-Sha:

Christian Gallagher:
d10: Per+Alert: 6,8,6,10,8,9,
Jeff Brolin: *He arches
an eyebrow, as he sees the movement in the club.* Mmmh... gettin' a little busy.
Christian Gallagher: ((Ha, Ha! I stole all
your successes! *G*))
Jeff Brolin: ((Stop
taking all the successes!))
Sha-Sha: *She laughs at that* Oh good.
That's one I wont sing. *She grins, entirely missing that Christian just came
in, looking a lot more relaxed than when she came in.*
Sha-Sha: *She chuckles* It does that here.
*She chuckles* ((So long as I don't get a bunch of 1s if Sha decides to dance
we'll be alright. *G*))
Sha-Sha: ((*otherwise, Kitties stalk
Ravyns*))
Jeff Brolin: *He
grins.* Cool. I think you an' I will get along JUST fine.
Sha-Sha: *She grins* I'm glad of that. I'd
hate for the band to be a warzone, you know?
Christian Gallagher: Paragon of Perceptive
Powers at 12 o' clock! He notes Sha-Sha and Jeff immediately, a small smile
coming to his face, and he makes his way toward them.
Sha-Sha -> Christian Gallagher: http://www.tshirthell.com/store/product.php?productid=492
dunno if it was still on here when you peeked, Sha's dress
Jeff Brolin: I dunno.
Controversy makes for one hell of a success rate. *He notices Christian's
approach, at least, and offers a raised chin in greeting.* Oi, mate.
Christian Gallagher -> Sha-Sha: ((Actually,
that's Christian's shirt. *G*))
Sha-Sha: *She tilts her head and laughs.*
I suppose. *She looks back to see who Jeff is greeting and smiles brightly,
holding out her arms towards Christian. Her make-up is doing wonders to hide the
circles beginning to form under her eyes.* Christian!
Sha-Sha -> Christian Gallagher: Gah! *L*
Oops...hold on...
Christian Gallagher: "Hey, Jeff...and hey,
you!" He gives Sha-Sha a wide smile and steps forward, arms encircling the girl
in a warm, tight hug. "How are you?"
Jeff Brolin: *His eyes
widen slightly.* Oi... no fuckin' hug for me?
Sha-Sha: *She hugs him tight, pressing her
cheek to his shoulder for a moment.* Mmm, I'm doing alright. Relaxing. I didn't
know you knew Jeff.
Sha-Sha: *She laughs at Jeff's comment* If
you want
Christian Gallagher: He looks at Jeff a
moment, blinking. "Didn't realize we were at the hugging stage." He chuckles a
little, shrugging. "When I'm done here, maybe." He gives Sha-Sha a kiss to her
forehead. "We've met...once, I think."
Jeff Brolin: Mmmh...
yeah. *He smirks.* S'okay, I was teasin'.
Sha-Sha: *She closes her eyes at the kiss
with a smile, briefly, then leans up to kiss his cheek in return.* How've you
been?
Sha-Sha: Jeff's in the band I'm trying to
join, I bumped into him in a bar the other day. Speaking of which, Car
bombs...are nasty! *The last part said to Jeff, making a face at the remembered
taste.*
Jeff Brolin: *he
grins.* What the fuck are you talkin' about? *he says with a cant of his head.*
you've just gotta drink it really fast.
Christian Gallagher: "Car bombs?" He blinks,
before he realizes...oh. Drink. Welcome to life in New York City, post-9/11. "Ewww."
Sha-Sha: Well, I'm not good at the fast
drink, apparently.
Sha-Sha: *She giggles at Christian's
reaction.* Don't worry, I had the same reaction initially.
Jeff Brolin: You
people are just weird, *he says with a smirk.*
Christian Gallagher: "No, I've had one.
Just...too much for me. Guiness and Irish Cream should not mix."
Sha-Sha: *She giggles and nods at
Christian* I agree!
Jeff Brolin: *He sighs
dreamily.* Could go for one right now.
Christian Gallagher: "Tell you what, Jeff."
He nods to the bartender, to call him over. "I'll buy you one. My treat."
Sha-Sha: *She eyes Jeff* I'm not ordering
that for you. *She wrinkles her nose*
Jeff Brolin: *He grins.
A night of free drinks? How could one guy get so lucky?*
Sha-Sha: *She looks at Christian and
sticks her tongue out at him then laughs and shakes her head*
Christian Gallagher: He winks at Sha-Sha and
orders Jeff his drink, plus a simple Weinhard's Private Reserve for himself. "So
how's the band shaping up?"
Sha-Sha: *She pouts* I don't know...Keith
STILL hasn't called. But now I have Keith and Jeff's numbers, so if I see Liam,
I'll get his then _I'LL_ arrange the thing.
Jeff Brolin: I can try
Keith sometime, *he says with a smirk.* He's fun.
Christian Gallagher: "Sounds like a plan," he
says to Sha-Sha, before glancing at Jeff a moment. "You do get around, don't
you?" It's not meant to sound like an accusation. Perhaps it's just a bit overly
casual.
Jeff Brolin: *He seems
to ponder that. And he grins, and nods. His eyes widen, though, as the drink
arrives. He grabs it with one hand, and then drops the shot. He chugs like a
pro.*
Riona McBrighid:
http://www.wodnyc.net/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&album=1&pos=105
*pixielike in stature, bright in smiles and blue crystal eyes, in the sea of
whats probably mostly black not just hte firey red hair but the white peasant
blouse with bright colored green sash about her waist and patchwork gypsy
skirt(sandals on her feet) makes her stand out as well, pale cream skin
smattered with freckles on the shoulder that shows from the slipping down
blouse, hair a mass of messy curls, chaos and copper splendor, a pack and
acoustic guitar slung over her shoulder as she sashays with wriggle of belly
dancer like hips past the doorman, eyes bright with the laughter her lips smile
with*
Sha-Sha: *She looks towards the
bartender.* I could really go for something fruity. *Yeah, she's just gonna
ignore those comments, or she's trying anyway.*
Christian Gallagher: He shakes his head at
Jeff, chuckling a bit, and looks to Sha-Sha. "Have a good day so far?"
Sha-Sha:
d10: per+Alert: 9,3,5,8,
Riona McBrighid: (demmit
stick!*tacks on with duct tape**G*)
Sha-Sha: *She nods* Yeah today's been
alright. *She blinks over at the girl in the peasant blouse and gypsy skirt.*
Now that's not something you see here every day...
Jeff Brolin: *He takes
a deep breath, and smacks the glass down on the bar.* Now THAT'S how y'do it.
*He slides off of the bar.* Goin' dancin'...
Sha-Sha: *She laughs at Jeff, then looks
at Christian.* You know, that sounds like a good idea...*She stands, giving
Christian a questioning look*
Riona McBrighid:
*right now she just seems to be having fun shimmying along past the dancers
through the floor, making her way towards somewhere to sit mindful of the guitar
over her shoulder....not the most graceful of creatures but damn if she isnt
having fun with it*
Christian Gallagher: "No...no, you don't," he
says, following his companion's gaze over to Riona for a moment. He looks back
to her at her silent suggestion and nods with a smile. "Sure thing." His
backpack his handed off to the bartender, who places it behind the bar, and he
gestures to the dance floor. "Lead the way."
Jeff Brolin: *He
doesn't seem to wait for them, eyes closing. Oooh... yummy alcohol.*
Jeff Brolin:
d10: dance (abilapp): 1,3,3,4,3,2,8,
Sha-Sha: *She grins and heads out towards
the dance floor with Christian after Jeff.*
Jeff Brolin: *Yeap,
definitely drunk. Is this the same guy that danced so beautifully the other
night?*
Sha-Sha:
d10: Dancing: 1,6,5,10,8,6,9,
Sha-Sha:
d10: Yay Ten!: 7,
Sha-Sha: *Sha, on the other hand, seems to
be living in the music. She's gotten a reputation for being good here and she's
certainly living up to it tonight. Her grace is just awesome, she's fluid, she's
rocking, she's just a wonder to watch.*
Christian Gallagher: He's right behind
Sha-Sha, and he starts moving as soon as they hit the floor.
Riona McBrighid:
d10: dancin: 3,2,6,2,9,6,
Christian Gallagher:
d10: Dancing: 3,2,9,1,3,6,8,
Christian Gallagher: Somewhere in between the
two he headed to the floor with...okay, he's not the man at the moment. That's
for when he's in the booth. But he's found a decent rhythm. He more reacts to
Sha-Sha then try anything on his own, and of course, she's getting all the
attention.
Riona McBrighid:
*eh, just mostly having fun, not the greatest still, but she does extend the
dancing along for a bit before finding a place to set down her things(table to
the side), pack plopped down and guitar gingerly set, and shes headed back out
to the dancefloor again, just randomly dancing with others and herself, no rhyme
or reason to it*
Jeff Brolin: *Even from
HIM. He pauses in his horrific drunken movements that pushes people away to
watch Sha for a bit.*
Riona McBrighid:
d10: per+alert: 8,5,5,4,7,7,
Sha-Sha: *She doesn't seem to mind all of
the attention, perhaps she even loves it. Today, she seems to stay partnered
with Christian rather than just floating about from person to person, perhaps
leaving some disappointed. She smiles brightly as she works out what remaining
tensions she had from the morning.*
Sha-Sha: ((*And wow, she dumbfounds the
club *L*))
Christian Gallagher: Throughout the dancing,
his attention is fully focused on Sha-Sha, a soft, adoring smile on his face as
he does. He seems quite happy when she relaxes, and while he's not the dancer
she is, the music itself is enough to raise his mood...not that he was down to
begin with.
Riona McBrighid:
*talk about pausing...the semi raucous fun dancing and jiggling and wriggling
about she was having stops, and she brushes back those long coppery curls from
her face to blink amazed and child like blue eyes at jeffs direction, head
tilting just so, looking up and down and stopping to a point just above his head
by the looks of it*
Jeff Brolin: *He does
seem to rather be enjoying himself, but he falls over onto the ground cackling
madly.*
Sha-Sha: *She laughs in sheer delight and
wraps her arms around Christian for a bit while they dance, closer perhaps, than
is her custom but she seems to be enjoying herself.*
Sha-Sha:
d10: per+Alert: 7,9,3,3,
Christian Gallagher: Jeff's topple to the
ground draws a raised eyebrow, and a look of concern. He breaks off dancing for
a moment, giving Sha-Sha an apologetic look, and moves to help the drunken man
to his feet. "You okay, Jeff?"
Jeff Brolin: Mmmh...
peachy keen, baby, *he says dreamily.* Think I need a couple more drinks, the
floor's not movin' enough.
Sha-Sha: *she looks back to see Jeff fall
over laughing and blinks* Er...right. *She looks at Christian.* Um...probably
should make sure he doesn't get stepped on...*She starts to weave her way
towards the man on the floor.*
Sha-Sha: *She laughs and shakes her head*
Jeff, you are a riot.
Riona McBrighid:
*oh heck why not, the girl there nearby dances pretty cool, the guy shes dancing
with cute, but hte one rolling about on hte floor laughing has definately got
her eye and she dances bounces and wriggles her way that way, making a few more
dour faces a bit more frowny, to which she just blows kisses their way with a
laugh and grin....shes got an objective now and she keeps heading his way*
Christian Gallagher: He shakes his head at
Jeff's proclamation for more booze. "Yeah...I think you're about done for drinks
for the night, champ. How about we find you somewhere to sit down?"
Jeff Brolin: *He laughs
faintly, looking up at the two dreamily.* So, you two datin' or somethin'?
Jeff Brolin: *He waves
a hand to Riona, though he doesn't know her.* Buy me a drink! *he announces to
her.*
Sha-Sha: *She blushes, even under the
make-up it's visible. She glances at Christian with a cute, almost shy, smile
and nods.*
Riona McBrighid:
ye git yer sweet arse up an te a seat an Ill think
'bout it darlin...*winking to jeff, offering out a hand, voice sweet and lilting
with irish accent*
Christian Gallagher: He's blushing about as
much as Sha-Sha, except without the make-up to hide it, so it's probably a bit
more obvious. He looks over at Sha-Sha with a little smile, then he nods to Jeff
and gets him to his feet. "Yeah, we are. Now, c'mon...let's find you a table."
He starts moving with the man toward just such a furnishing.
Jeff Brolin: It IS a
sweet arse, isn't it, *he says sincerely, and chuckles. *But he does attempt to
find a seat. Apparently the alcohol doesn't mix so well with the drugs he took
earlier. Who'da thunk it?
Sha-Sha: *She laughs and looks over at
Riona* Come and join us If you'd like. I'm Sha-Sha, That's Christian and That's
Jeff. *She indicates the appropriate of the two men as she introduces them.*
Christian Gallagher: Jeff is set down in a
seat, and he stands up, running a hand through his hair to get it back from his
face. "There you go. Much better." He looks over to Riona and nods, giving her
an easy, friendly smile. "Hey. Nice to meet you."
Riona McBrighid:
aye....*looking to christians and chuckling with a grin* an his aint te bad
neither.....*winking, heading to the table they do, then moving to snag her
stuff from the nearby one it was at, plopping herself right down comfortably
with legs getting propped up onto jeffs lap(after the guitars gently placed down
of course)* whats yer poisons then luvs?
Freemage (OOC) -> Christian Gallagher:
((*Quick Wave* Just to let you know, Ravyn, I just emailed you the rest of the
info on the two Sorcerers I've submitted. I don't know why it keeps eating
everything in the Additional Comments section. *Sighs*))
Riona McBrighid:
aye, miss Sha-Sha, mistair christian an jeff....m'names
Riona...*nodding to them, offering slender fingered pale hand each in turn*
Sha-Sha: *She smiles and shakes Riona's
hand.* A pleasure...and I was craving something fruity earlier...anyone have a
suggestion?
Jeff Brolin: ((*sigh*
Sorry, guys... have to end sceneage... I'll see you later.))
Sha-Sha: ((Later hun.))
Christian Gallagher -> Freemage (OOC):
((Awesome. Will go check it out now. That CSSS is a tricky bastard
sometimes...no worries.))
Christian Gallagher: ((*Hugs the Fang*))
Riona McBrighid:
oid suggest me one half brothair, but dinna think
s'tha koind o' fruity ye meant...*chuckling as she shakes shashas hand*
Freemage (OOC) -> Christian Gallagher:
((*G* Thanks!))
Christian Gallagher: He grinis a little bit
at Riona's joke, and shakes her hand after Sha-Sha's done.
Sha-Sha: *She laughs* Yeah, not quite.
Christian Gallagher: "As for fruity...hmm.
Alcoholic or non?"
Freemage (OOC): ((*Waves* Have fun, all.
*Drops Nick*))
Sha-Sha: Either one. I've only had a glass
of vodka and a "cowboy cocksucker" tonight. *She bites her lip and makes a
little embarassed face at the name*
Riona McBrighid:
(gonna switch her out guys*hugs* she'll take jeff outta there and buy everyone
at teh table drinks though before she leaves, jingling as she goes...wanna bring
out someone else out if is ok)
Sha-Sha: ((sure))
Christian Gallagher: ((Of course!))
Christian Gallagher: "A..." He blinks, and
then chuckles, shrugging it off. "Ahh, the names they make for drinks these
days. Okay. Um...daiquiri?"
Sha-Sha: *She laughs and nods* Jeff
ordered it. And Sure, a daquiri sounds good. *She hugs him again.* How'd things
go with Charlie?
Christian Gallagher: "Very good," he says,
hugging her back. "He did a lot of happy bouncing. All was well."
Sha-Sha: *She giggles* Okay, I just got
the funniest mental image at that description.
Christian Gallagher: "Yeah, it was
probably pretty accurate," he says with a chuckle.
Sha-Sha: You work tonight? *She wanders
towards the bar as they talk to order said daiquiri*
Christian Gallagher: He moves along by her
side. "Later tonight, yeah. Thought I'd come early, get a feel for the mood
tonight...maybe socialize a bit..." He grins a little to her. "Hang out with
wonderful folk."
Sha-Sha: I'm glad I came before you
started then. *She orders the drink* Want anything?
Christian Gallagher: "No, I'm good." He pulls
a cigarette and lights up, leaning against the bar. "So what's new?"
Sha-Sha: *She pays for the drink and
when it arrives, sips slowly* Mostly same sorts of stuff. People being stupid.
Nightmare last night. Decided to try to distract myself by calling Jeff and
meeting up with him, get to know him a little. When he suggested possibly here,
I jumped at it. *She smiles at him.* I hoped I'd see you.
Christian Gallagher: He smiles a little, head
ducking, and nods. "Yeah...I was hoping the same. Oh...by the way. If you want
to...I know being in your neighborhood's got you a bit freaked. And feel free to
say no, because I'm not trying to move fast or anything. But if you
want...Charlie and I have crash space. Your own room, and everything. Like I
said, if you don't want to, just say so, and that'll be the end of it, totally
cool. Offer's there, though, if you'd feel more comfortable somewhere but your
neihgborhood."
Sha-Sha: I think I'd really like that.
*She blushes and presses her lips gently to his.*
Christian Gallagher: He blinks, surprised but
pleased, and returns the kiss. "All right," he says with a little nod. "I'll let
Charlie know, and we can get moving on it."
Sha-Sha: *She leans against him and smiles
softly.* The last couple of nights...I just...really hated being alone. Even
just knowing someone else was there would help. *She sighs a little.* I didn't
call because it was really late and I wasn't sure if you'd be awake or here.
Christian Gallagher: "It's okay," he says
with a nod, hands moving to her shoulders and turning her so she's facing away.
He starts to work his hands over her muscles, working out whatever knots may be
there. "You can always call, Sha-Sha. Any time, okay?"
Sha-Sha: *She closes her eyes and moans
softly as he begins to massage her shoulders. She nods gently at his assurance
but otherwise, just completely giving in to his touch. There's a few knots,
carry over from the previous days.*
Christian Gallagher: He purses his lips
briefly at the tension in her shoulders, but says nothing for a while, just
focusing his attention on gently working the knots out. Finally... "You want to
talk about it?"
Sha-Sha: *She hesitates for a moment and
looks back at him, a hand moves to up play with the dart around her neck. She "acidentally"
pricks her finger on it, hisses softly, and looks down, sucking on it befoe
glancing back at him.*
Sha-Sha:
d10: Arete(WP): 9,2,2,
Christian Gallagher -> Sha-Sha: ((Nothing
supernatural about him shows up at all. Prime and Entropy gives her a standard
flow of Quintessence going through him...usual fate path. Obviously, a faint
build up of Entropy around him, due to his disease, but his body isn't yet close
to the breakdown stage.))
Sha-Sha: *She looks down again and shakes
her head.*
Christian Gallagher: He sighs, but nods. He's
not going to push her to talk. "That's okay, Sha-Sha," he says softly. "If and
when you're ready to, okay?"
Sha-Sha: *She pulls his arms around her
and closes her eyes just leaning against him with a soft sigh.*
Christian Gallagher: He provides strength for
her to lean against, his arms gently enfolding her and holding her close,
protectively. He rests his lips against her scalp, just there for her. Not
pushy.
Sha-Sha: *She just stays there in his
arms, her mind going over things, wishing she could tell him.* I don't mean to
be so moody.
Christian Gallagher: "It's okay," he says
quietly. "You've had a lot going on. Moodiness is to be expected."
Sha-Sha: *She looks up at him and
smiles softly* But some of it's been really good.
Christian Gallagher: "Yeah...yeah, it has,"
he says with a smile. He takes a deep breath and leans a little more against
her. "So. The night is ours, until I have to work, at least. What's the plan?"
Sha-Sha: I don't know. Something fun.
Maybe another shopping trip? This time just for something really crazy?
Christian Gallagher: "Hmmm..." He smiles,
swaying slightly to the music out of simple habit, an unconscious action, as he
considers. "That could be fun. Define 'something really crazy?'"
Sha-Sha: *She laughs* I don't
know...costumes, stuff that never should have been in style...anything...
Christian Gallagher: He nods and chuckles.
"Okay...I'm in. Let's do it."
Sha-Sha: *She grins and gets up.* Did you
drive?
Christian Gallagher: "Nope. No car." He rises
with her. "Are we biking it?"
Sha-Sha: *She shakes her head and laughs.*
A bike in this? *Looking down at her dress.*
Sha-Sha: Though, I suppose we could go
back to my place and I could change. Something easier to get in and out of if
we're going to be trying on lots of things, maybe?
Christian Gallagher: "Good point," he says
ducking his head a bit. "It looks incredible on you, though," he adds with a
slight grin, before gesturing to the door. "So we go via hired transport?"
Sha-Sha: *She smiles* Thanks...*And she
starts walking towards the door.*
Christian Gallagher: "No problem." He smiles
and walks along to the door, by Sha-Sha's side.
Sha-Sha: *She grins* So which do you
prefer, travel by cab or bike?
Christian Gallagher: "Mmm...I'm feeling
adventurous. Bike it?" He grins.
Sha-Sha: Sure. Come on.
Sha-Sha: *She grins at him and then leads
out and calls a cab back to her place to change first.*
Christian Gallagher: He looks over his
shoulder to the bouncer, giving him a nod, and then slips into the cab after she
does when it arrives.
Sha-Sha:
d10: Baby Drive that Bike: 3,5,7,8,7,4,6,
RANDOM UPTOWN SHOP
Sha-Sha: *She zips about, doing her
usual thing, in and out of traffic, cutting it pretty close a couple times on
purpose, but always seems in perfect control of the bike. They arrive at some
random store and she parks.* ((Player doesn't actually know what kind of shops
they'll be able to find to suit their purposes in NY *L*))
Christian Gallagher: ((Pretty much anything.
*G* Say, just a strange sort of general antiques and oddities-type place?
Costumes, gizmos, gadgets, antiques, and the like?))
Sha-Sha: ((Sure *G*))
Sha-Sha: *She walks into the store with
Christian, smiling and peering around, looking for something to catch her eye.*
Christian Gallagher: He slips off the bike
and into the store at Sha-Sha's side, a hand resting lightly on her back, at her
shoulder blades. Just for contact. He starts to look around as they wander.
"Hmmm...quite the selection..."
Sha-Sha: *She nods and reaches out and
picks up something, her cheeks going pink and she laughs and shows it to him.*
http://www.halloweenmart.com/wecs.php?store=halloweenmar&action=display&target=CF9041
Christian Gallagher: He looks at the outfit
and blinks, flushing a little as he laughs some. "Very nice...very nice, indeed.
Maybe I can find something to go with it..." He winks and looks through the
racks.
Sha-Sha: *She laughs* You want me to put
it on? *She looks between him and it.*
Christian Gallagher: He brushes some hair out
of his face and looks back to her, brow quirking. "If you want to," he says with
a nod and a smile. "I certainly wouldn't mind."
Sha-Sha: I, um...I mean, if you want me to...but you
have to really find something to go with it, I don't think I can do this alone.
*Her cheeks are getting firey under that make-up and there go the tips of her
ears too.*
Sha-Sha: ((Eek! She's naked! *puts clothes
(color) back on*))
Christian Gallagher: "No..." He shakes his
head, his tone getting softer, more gentle. "You don't have to. You know that.
Don't worry about it...at all."
Sha-Sha: *She sets it back down and hugs
him, leaning her head on his shoulder and looking around some more.*
Christian Gallagher: He hugs her back
bringing a hand up to smooth her hair. "You okay?"
Sha-Sha: *She smiles up at him and nods.*
Yeah, I'm okay. *She kisses his cheek*
Christian Gallagher: His eyes half-shut at
the kiss, and he returns it before looking around. "All right. So, something
bizzare and interesting, right? Off the wall?"
Sha-Sha: *She nods* Something to make us
laugh.
Christian Gallagher: "All right, something to
make us laugh..." He grins, and moves away, looking around for something to fit
the bill. "I tell you what...find me a costume, something to amuse, and I'll see
what else I can find to get a giggle."
Sha-Sha: *She smiles and nods and starts
looking through stuff again, eventually finding a purple velvet pimpin' outfit
with zebra print lapels and matching hat.*
Christian Gallagher: He comes back with a gold and black jester's costume, holding it up. "What do you think? Over the top and tacky enough?"
Sha-Sha: *She giggles and nods*
Christian Gallagher: "Perfect." He grins, a
look which only widens when he sees the pimp suit. "Oh, dear Christ. That is
AWESOME."
Sha-Sha: *She grins at his approval.*
Perfect...*She echos* http://halloweencostumeboutique.com/images/2169.jpg *She
looks at the police outfit, biting her lip a bit, damn he'd look good in it.*
Christian Gallagher: He looks over, following
her gaze, and...oh, watch the man turn red. He clears his throat suddenly,
reaching up to scratch at the back of his neck, as he smiles faintly.
Sha-Sha: *She looks back and sees his face
go red and giggles. She walks over to him and wraps her arms around him and
smiles up at him.* You don't have to either. *She kisses him lightly.*
Christian Gallagher: He leans forward with a
smile, kissing her back, and nods. "I know." His arms go around her waist, and
he looks down at her with a soft, affectionate look in his eyes.
Sha-Sha: *She looks up with an adoring
look in her eyes. She reaches up and gently runs her fingers through his hair.*
Christian Gallagher: He smiles down at her,
the costumes and the shop around them forgotten for the time being. His head
leans gently into her hand with it threads through his hair, eyes half-shutting,
and he makes a slow, deep inhale of breath, letting it out slowly.
Sha-Sha: *She leans up and kisses him
again, though she doesn't try to deepen it beyond lips pressed together, she
does press a bit harder than she has been.*
Christian Gallagher: He lets her set the
pace, as always, and when she kisses him a bit harder, he responds in kind, with
a hand coming up to smooth over her hair as they do.
Sha-Sha: *She holds the kiss like that
for a long moment before she does actually try to deepen it, her lips parting
slightly, the barest brush of her tongue against his lips, as if asking
permission.*
Christian Gallagher: There's a moment of
surprise at that, and perhaps a bit of hesitation. Unsure. But he gives in, eyes
drifting shut and his lips parting with hers.
Sha-Sha: *She gives him time, lets him
choose, when he gives in she kisses him as deeply, with all the feelings she can
muster behind it. One arm wrapped around his neck, the other hand holding the
back of his head. It seems that they've both forgotten where they are. They'll
likely get reminded soon. For the moment, however, she simply is enjoying this.*
Christian Gallagher: He sighs deeply into the
kiss, losing his reluctance as she does, and draws her close to him, his eyelids
shutting the rest of the way. Certainly, reality will come crashing back soon
enough, but not at this moment. This moment, it's just them, and just this kiss.
Sha-Sha: *She holds the kiss for a long
moment longer. Eventually, however, a cleared throat brings her to pull
reluctantly back from it. She looks over her shoulder at the worker and blushes
a bit.* er...yeah. *She looks back at Christian, giggling softly and pulls him
towards the door. She doesn't apologize for it, though. She's not the least bit
sorry.*
Christian Gallagher: He blinks at the sound
and straights up a little bit, looking over at the poor employee with a sheepish
sort of grin. He nods to him with a shrug, and moves to follow Sha-Sha.
Sha-Sha: *Once outside she grins up at
Christian. She leans in to kiss him again before whispering* What time does your
shift start?
Christian Gallagher: "Ummm..." He blinks and
check his watch. "About an hour?"
Sha-Sha: *She smiles softly, not speaking
much louder than the whisper.* Then I should probably get you back before I try
to keep you for the night.
Christian Gallagher: He gives a shy, adoring
smile at that, and nods a little bit. "Yeah...okay." A brief moment, before he
leans in and hugs her close, eyes drawing shut and letting out a deep sigh.
Sha-Sha: *She hugs him back, looking up at
him, wondering at the sigh, but not pressing. She holds him until he's ready to
go. No rush.*
Christian Gallagher: He stays there for a
long moment, arms wrapped around her, soft, warm, and protective at the same
time. Finally, he pulls back, looking into her eyes for a moment before he nods.
"Okay...I guess we'd better go, then." He smiles a little, reaching up to brush
an errant hair back from her face.
Sha-Sha: *She closes her eyes and ducks
her head with a smile at that, then moves towards the bike. She hands over his
helmet after unlocking it and puts on her own, then gets on the bike and waits
for him to be behind her to take off.*
Christian Gallagher: He slips the helmet on
and climbs on the back, his arms wrapping snugly around her waist, ready to go.
