Gimmic -Tech convention-: The evening has seen a pickup in people, after all more people are finished work and if it happens to catch people's eye they'll trundle in if only for a short while. it's being held in a large room, wooden floors were clean but with mud from peoples shoes throughout the day it's not quite so anymore. Stalls line the walls and create coridors between them with interactive displays, screens, music and any number of gagetry stroon out around the place.

Gimmic -Tech convention-: He has white hair that’s static and often singed, he wears black rimmed strapped goggles either on his forehead or over his eyes, and a white lab coat… well it was once white, now it’s greasy and mucky and stained. Under that he wears black trainers, a pair of mucky blue jeans and a black T shirt. He’s nothing special to look at, physically, but he always looks edgy and nervous, like maybe he’s drunk far too much coffee. He stands 5 foot 5, shorter than most guys and looks to be in the later half of his teens somewhere.
Goggles on his forehead he is stood at the back jumping to try to see past a group of people to one of the displays, and then trying to worm his way through when he still can't see doing that.

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims wanders through the front door in whistles at all the gadets. He's dressed in his sweat pants and hoodie combo which makes him stand out slightly, but hes not really caring at the moment*

Christian Gallagher: He's wandering along at Sha's side, smiling a little bit as he does. The man's looking to be in a moderately good mood, all things considered. The T-Shirt today reads "Your Mom. Rated E for Everyone" in a mockery of the Video Game ratings code, and it's under the leather jacket as usual, jeans covering the rest. ((Ping for DD if needed))

Gimmic -Tech convention-: ((wouldn't go a miss, nor would Sims's for that matter please))

Christian Gallagher: Young and hip. He's one of the beautiful creatures, no doubt about it. Upon first glance, his age could be estimated at the mid-twenties. He's got the rebel feel to him...hair a soft brown, falling to the shoulders of his well-worn leather jacket. He has about a day's growth on his face, just enough to be a bit scratchy, underneath soft blue eyes. He could hardly be called big...maybe 5'10, and weight 160 tops. The leather jacket sits over a T-Shirt with a quote of some kind on it, and an olive button-down. Blue jeans and an old pair of sneakers finish the look, one that says "I don't take much time...'cause I don't need to." And it's true, he looks good anyway. A small chain rests around his neck, a single gold hoop in his left ear. (Fame 1: Professional DJ. Check Who's Who for Details)

Sha-Sha: *Her hair's growing out again, resting easily at her shoulders. She's kept it the bright, unnatural red. She's wearing a pair of black leather pants that at first glance might seem to have pointed oval gaps going down the outsides of the legs revealing skin, though a more thorough look would note that while close to her pale skin tone, there is actually a layer of cloth going all the way down. For a top she's wearing a deep, almost blood red leather bit with long sleeves that lace from elbow to wrist and down the front. On her feet, a pair of black heels. She's smiling looks at the various booths as they pass through the crowd.*

Sha-Sha: *Over the outfit is a black leather jacket with a dart flying towards a board on the back of it.*

Sha-Sha: ((If anyone needs more of one from Sha let me know))

Gimmic -Tech convention-: d10: : 2,2,3,4,7,7,

Simon "Sims" Ashford: d10: Scanning: 6,9,7,5,2,

Gimmic -Tech convention-: d10: : 7,5,7,5,3,10,

Sha-Sha: d10: per alert: 3,6,7,5,

Gimmic -Tech convention-: He squirms his way through people and gets to the other side where he leans over the display peering at the screen with a demonstration of the small item on the table, he tilts his head and listens for a minute before he snorts slightly and looks amused slipping back through people and exploding out into the main channel of the corridor the stall was in a hop as he slips out've the people and then he stops to look around eyes darting and sparkling, he really does have that kid in a candystore look to him. though he does notice people aswell as the various demonstrations and stalls. Eyes stopping on people as they pass near.

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Having wandered to one of the nearby booths Sims inspects what appears to be car music centers, just the basic parts. Turning he glances around and notices a redhead he'd seen somewhere before but couldnt quite place her.*

Christian Gallagher: d10: Per+Alertness: 4,7,4,4,4,2,

Christian Gallagher: Most of his attention is focused on the booths, though he does note Gimmic nearby. He looks over to Sha, smiling a bit. "Nice to be able to get out somewhere together."

Sha-Sha: *She laughs and points out the small guy darting around (Gimmic) to Christian.* Someone's having fun. *Then her eyes land on Sims and she waves towards him.*

Gimmic -Tech convention-: His eyes dart to Sha as he's pointed at looks behind himself to check and then back, head tilts with a confused look.

Sha-Sha: *She nods with a smile.* We've been quite overdue for a relaxing evening, I think.

Melinda Stowe: ((Mind another?))

Sha-Sha: ((I don't))

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Turning full around now that the redhead waves to him Sims walks over with a curious look on his face, as if hes desperately trying to remember where hed met her before. Just as he gets up to them though the cocky grin flashes on as he remembers.* "Yo Sha, long time no see."

Sha-Sha: Hello Sims. This is my boyfriend Christian. Christian, this is Sims.

Gimmic -Tech convention-: ((go for))

Simon "Sims" Ashford: ((Come on in))

Christian Gallagher: He grins at Gimmic, and then looks over to Sims when he comes up and Sha introduces him. "Hey, Sims. Nice to meet you." He smiles and extends his hand.

Melinda Stowe: She is standing stock still, her back pressed to the side of a booth, her eyes watching the people move past her, maybe attempting to fade into the booth itself.

When did the Circus come to town? Oh no wait, it is just her, maybe. There is something different about the girl. The pale creature would stand of average height, if she where to stand upright that is, instead she tends to slouch giving her a bit of a hunched quality to her. She looks to be in her mid to late 20’s, a fairly plain looking girl, one that doesn't stand out, easily overlooked as just another face in the crowd. Shoulder length mousy brown hair that is flat and limp frames her distinctly triangular face, her hair is so lacking in style it appears she must take a pair of scissors to trim her own hair. Her eyes are a pale brown that on anyone might be considered quite beautiful if not for the blue tinge to the whites of her eyes, giving her a slight surreal quality. Her body just as plan as her face, enough curves to show she is definitely a girl but not enough to really attract attention either. Wearing a loose flannel overshirt with long sleeves, unbuttoned to expose the loose pale blue Tee-shirt underneath, relaxed fit blue jeans and black sneakers finish her ensemble. ((Fame 1: Check Who's Who for Details))

Sha-Sha: *She chuckles at Gimmic's confused look and just waves to him*

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims extends his own hand from his pouch pocket* "Yo man, same." *He shakes his hand with a sure swiftness before letting go and looking at both of them* "So..what you guys doin here?"

Sha-Sha: ((Which Who's Who?))

Melinda Stowe: ((Rich and Famous list *Kicks old DD listing**))

Gimmic -Tech convention-: He looks around again still confused and returns the wave headed over somewhat more cautiously, crouched slightly as he does, almost as though braced ready to bolt. peers at her "What did you do to your hair?" he asks when he's near enough, seemingly not aware that he might be inturuppting.

Melinda Stowe: She attempt to get to the other side of the asile, where more booths are at. If anyone has watched a person try ad get across a busy highway and miss oncoming traffic, that is what her actions are reminicent of. Keeping as far as she can away from people, her eyes wide, as she keeps glancing at the floor every now and then.

Sha-Sha: *She blinks at Gimmic, bemused at the greeting* Um, dyed it?

Christian Gallagher: "Checking out sound equipment," he says to Sims. "I'm a DJ."

Gimmic -Tech convention-: "What purpose does it serve changing it to be like that?" he asks, there's no inclonation that he doesn't approve, if anything it seems to have caught his interest, curiosuly tilting his head. he uncoils slightly to stand some, though his poise is still one that makes him look quite ready to bolt.

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims nods* "Cool, you big or you just startin out?"

Christian Gallagher: "I'd like to think I'm at least medium-sized." He grins a little bit, leaning lightly against Sha. "No, I'm decently known. I work at the Limelight these days. DJ Halcyon's my stage name."

Sha-Sha: *She shrugs at Gimmic, still grinning.* I just liked the color. You're not from the city are you? *She looks back at Sims, still listening to the conversation. She grins when Sims asks if Christian is big.* He's only the best DJ in the state.

Melinda Stowe: She makes it, breathing slightly faster than the exertion should have cost someone. She keeps her eyes looking around as she ever so slowely walks down the asile of booths. Keeping out of people's 'personal space' so to speak.

Gimmic -Tech convention-: "I am from the city." he nods "I think." looking thoughtful for a moment, "What's a DJ that it requires you have additional names?"

Christian Gallagher: "You're biased, hon." He grins at Sha.

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *He thinks for a moment on the name, trying to think if he'd heard it before.* "Nope sorry man dont know the name, but then i dont really have tha money to go to clubs much ya know?" *He turns to Sha* "Nah girl, im from Toronto, only been here a few months." *Sims watches Melinda make her mad dash across the isle an eyebrow quivering in curiousity*

Sha-Sha: *She laughs* Okay, I'll concede that. *She tilts her head a little at Gimmic, surprised but doesn't say anything.*

Gimmic -Tech convention-: He mirrors the tilt looking at her questioningly.

Christian Gallagher: He looks over to Gimmic, blinking, then smiles. "Disc Jockey. I spin records--play music--at dance clubs. A stage name is just to make me a bit more memorable...DJ Halcyon is easier to remember then Christian Gallagher. Most DJ's do it."

Gimmic -Tech convention-: Looks up to Christian as his question is answered and seems to puzzle it over for a moment "Like the person in the display box over there? I don't know if he has extra names but he plays music." he nods pointing down to one of the stalls a fair ways off with mostly hifi stuff being demonstrated, some new tweak to the system being displayed.

Melinda Stowe: She eases her way down the row of booths, keeping an eye on things. She tugs at the edge of right sleeve as she does so.

Sha-Sha: *She looks over towards where Gimmic is pointing, looking thoughtful.*

Christian Gallagher: "Something like that, yeah." He nods a little bit.

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims continues to watch Melinda curiously as she moves like that but turns back to Sha and Christian* "So you need new stuff? I thought it was largely all the same, turn tables a turn table right?"

Sha-Sha: *She looks back at Sims.* I don't think there's anything in the world that that statement would be true of. There's different qualities to everything.

Gimmic -Tech convention-: He looks back to the answer then nods and heads off in that direction at a bound of energy. Happening to be towards Melinda, and unlike her gimmic has no ideas about personal space. though he does bound out've peoples way before he acctually runs into them.

Gimmic -Tech convention-: d10: Dex Ath: 1,9,3,7,5,7,

Melinda Stowe: She comes to a stop about 15 feet away from the group of people. Her eyes looking around, she stays at the aproximate distance, as she also moves and keeps away from people walking by or visiting the booths she is near.

Melinda Stowe: d10: Per+Alert: 4,5,2,4,10,4,

Christian Gallagher: He laughs a bit at Sims. "Not exactly. I mean, turntables alone, there's five or six major brands and several models within each. And that's not even thinking about amps, beat machines, equalizers, sound FX machines, mixers, recording equpiment, CD players, MP3 players, crossovers...and the list goes on."

Sha-Sha: *She watches Gimmic bound off towards the girl who's somehow managing to keep that bubble around her.* What a strange man...

Melinda Stowe: She see's Gimmic coming towars her only at the last instant. So she attempts to side step him, which means if he veers she might just step right into him.

Melinda Stowe: d10: Dex: 7,5,8,

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims shrugs* "Yeah your right, but still i mean, why waste the money if ya got what you need already?"

Gimmic -Tech convention-: d10: : 6,9,8,4,9,5,

Gimmic -Tech convention-: He does go the same way as her, but the energy the boy has means even with her side stepping he goes further round and then steps back again a slight look over his shoulder before he carrys on towards the stall.

Sha-Sha: What's the point of having money if not to spend it?

Christian Gallagher: "Because I can always have better," he says with a shrug. "It's the nature of technology."

Gimmic -Tech convention-: d10: Bang: 3,6,1,3,

Simon "Sims" Ashford: "heh true. Eh just dont know the feelin really ya know?" *He watches gimmic as he bolts an eyebrow raised before turning back* "Whats with that guy?"

Gimmic -Tech convention-: ((scrap last post)) Gimmic does turn the same as her, and then tries to go back again noticing she moved that way aswell, which winds up with colishion shoulder to shoulder, he spins with the contact and drops to a crouch though keeping his feet looking back to her eyes wide and looking about aswell, again looking more than ready to bolt.

Christian Gallagher: He follows Sims's gaze to Gimmic and Melinda, frowning a little bit. "That's a good question..."

Sha-Sha: *Still watching Gimmic.* I have no clue. I don't think he runs on the same wavelength as the rest of us...

Melinda Stowe: Her eyes widden, and she doesn't even have enough time to wince really, as her and Gimmic collide together. She tensed up when they hiot each other, stoping breathing and the like. "Get.......away.......from.......me." It comes out in a deadly whisper, as she gasps for air.

Christian Gallagher: "Nature of New York, Sha," he says with a slight nod. "Everyone runs on a slightly different wavelength."

Gimmic -Tech convention-: "I didn't do't on purpose." he protests like she's accusing him. he is not quiet, nor loud, sounding slightly like a child that's just had a lap on the wrist and is protesting it.

Sha-Sha: *She laughs* True...true...But I'm sensing something brewing. *She starts slowly towards Melinda and Gimmic.*

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims watches Gimmic and melinda with a raised eyebrow and follows sha* "Hey nothin wrong with runnin a different path. I hate the beaten trail"

Melinda Stowe: She continues to gasp for air, as if her lungs have forgotten how to work for some reason. Wish Gimmic still in sight of her though she backs up, not in the slightest paying atteion to where she is going, just that flight instinct kicking in. She shakes her head slightly.

Christian Gallagher: He moves along with Sims and Sha, approaching the duo with a wary look on his face.

Gimmic -Tech convention-: He looks around at her obviously being quite uneasy about him, which makes him uneasy, and finally the bolting does actually take place, from all that coiled earlier, springs to life twists to head away and starts bolting for the exit as fast as his legs can carry him.

Sha-Sha: Miss? Are you alright? *Her voice full of gentle concern.*

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims watches the guy bolt* "Yo man! where ya goin?" *He says with a curious tone*

Gimmic -Tech convention-: d10: Bolting: 2,9,8,8,7,3,

Melinda Stowe: Her eyes dart to Sha after watching Gimic leave, Still small breaths in and out. "Fine.......yes......fine..." Although as she says this her right hand almost flys to her left shoulder, as her eyes seems to widden a touch more.

Christian Gallagher: "Damn..." He watches Gimmic run off, then looks back to Melinda. "Can we call anyone for you or anything?"

Gimmic -Tech convention-: ((And unless anyone's following I need to get some kip, so take care all, g'night.))

Sha-Sha: *She blinks a few times as Gimmic bolts, then looks back at Melinda* Um, did...you know him?

Sha-Sha: ((DLP))

Melinda Stowe: She shakes her head slightly, still trying to breath as she backs away. "No.....no....one.....do.....not....know....him." She makes a face, but her right hand seems to be probing her left shoulder for something, fingers gentle on her shoulder.

Sha-Sha: *She blinks a few times as Gimmic bolts, then looks towards Christian, then Melinda. Not saying anything after Christian's question.*

Melinda Stowe: ((Please change her words to "No......no.....one......no.....damage?...."

Sha-Sha: *She looks at Melinda's shoulder* Are you hurt?

Sha-Sha: ((*L* Okay. DLP then))

Christian Gallagher: He looks back to Sha-Sha, then to Melinda, saying nothing, but clearly concerned.

Simon "Sims" Ashford: "You look ok to me girl. Maybe a little shaken but nothin else." *Sims says with a shrug as he stands next to Christian*

Melinda Stowe: She forcfully attempts to breath slowly, she is not gasping for air, but she is still not breathing regularly. "It's.....No....Not hurt." She looks back over to her audience, her brown eyes tinged with blue in the whites of them, still slightly wide.

Avery Woods: ((Mind another?)

Christian Gallagher: ((Not at all....c'mon in!)) He looks to Sims, raising an eyebrow, then looks back to Melinda. "Evidence is, perhaps, to the contrary," he says to Sims.

Sha-Sha: ((Or leave it. whichever. I don't mind another.)) *She looks back at Christian and Sims, then returns her gaze to Melinda.* Well, I guess if you're sure you're fine, we should let you be...

Melinda Stowe: ((I don't. Andf this is a Tech convention BTW))

Avery Woods: ((Thanks.))

Melinda Stowe: ((For Sins, Sha and Chrinstian, you might want to roll perception Alertness.))

Avery Woods: A good place to come to take her mind off things. Dressed comfortably for walking around a bit too, in jeans, a lightweight black sweater and sneakers, long brunette hair in a ponytail, complete with ballcap.

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: d10: per alert: 5,3,2,6,

Simon "Sims" Ashford: d10: P/A: 3,4,8,6,1,

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims looks over to Christian and then back to Melinda* "Ya want a drink or somethin girl? Ya look like ya could use it." *He reaches into his pouch and pulls out a fresh bottle of water.*

Melinda Stowe: She looks to each of them in turn. "I will be.....fine, just need.....some air."

Christian Gallagher: d10: Per+Alertness: 7,1,9,3,2,3,

Melinda Stowe -> Christian Gallagher: Every time Melinda shook her head there was a flash of silver abover her ear. Not like an earring, but on her head.

Avery Woods: d10: per/alert: 2,4,4,6,

Avery Woods: She thinks she glimpses a couple people who are familiar to her and starts in that general direction to see if she did or not.

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She tilts her head a little towards one side, puzzled for a moment, then just shakes her head.*

Christian Gallagher: He blinks and then shakes his head, then nods to Melinda. "All right. If you insist you're okay..." He still looks vaguely concerned, though.

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *The glint catches his eye but he resists the temptation to try and get another look* "Fair enough girl, Ya want some company or anythin just incase?"

Melinda Stowe: (Opse, sorry I missed a post in there *Winces*)) Snother shake of her head, slight. She says to Sims. "No, thank you......"She says about the bottle of water offered. Then frowns over their looks towards her. Something pushing away the panic. "Haven't any of you ever seen a termanilly ill person before?" misreading their looks to her. "It's not like I should be showcased at Ringling Brothers, and I am not going to die this instant."

Avery Woods: She hears the last part of the conversation, blinks, and stands a little dumbfounded for a moment, before backing away from the group some.

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *Her voice gentle.* Sweetie, we didn't know that you were. And yes, we *indicating Christian and herself* volunteer at (player blanking on the name) hospital. We were simply concerned...if you'd like us to leave you alone, we can...

Christian Gallagher: ((Mt. Sinai)) His brow raises at Melinda's comment. "Yeah. I think I've seen one of those before." It's not bitter, just a statement. He looks over at Avery as she starts to back away, brow furrowing in confusion.

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims own mood takes a bit of a downswing at Melinda's outburst* "just tryin ta help girl." *He says with a bit of a frown then looking to Sha and Christian*

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *At Christian's statement, she reaches a hand back towards his and squeezes it gently.*

Christian Gallagher: He squeezes back, smiling to Sha, then looking to Avery. "You okay?"

Melinda Stowe: Her forwn remains, and she turns to her right, as she smooths her hair over that side of her face. "Yes well congradulations. I am fine, thank you for your concern. I should leave now." She moves off moving slowely. Keeping that invisable bubble of space around her as much as she can.

Avery Woods: "Huh?" she stops when asked. "Oh, ummm...nothing. Wasn't meaning to intrude on ya."

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She sighs, but doesn't follow, waiting til the sounds of the convention will keep Melinda from hearing it.* That girl needs help. *She looks to see who Christian is talking to finally and smiles.* Hey Avery, how are you?

Avery Woods: "Oh hi, Sha."

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims watches after Melinda curiously* "Whats the matter with her?" *He asks Sha after she is a ways away. He then turns to Avery* "Hey Avery."

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She looks at the guys then back at Avery, offering her arms towards the woman for a hug if she wants it.* Have you met Christian and Sims?

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: ((Leave off Sims since he's greeted her. *L*))

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She looks at Sims.* I'm guessing, and it is just a guess, that she recently found out that she's terminally ill and isn't taking it too well.

Melinda Stowe: She keeps making her way out, sticking to walls, and places that people are not congregated, as she does so. ((*Hugs* thanks for the scene guys *S* was quite interesting ))

Avery Woods: "I know Sims. So this is Christian. It's very nice to finally meet you." She gives a very weak smile about the offered hug, but for the time being declines it.

Simon "Sims" Ashford: ((later snow!))*When Sha answers he looks off after Melinda* "No way...that sucks hard." *He says trying to remember her face as well as he can.*

Christian Gallagher: "It's a...difficult thing to learn," he says in response to Sha's comment to Sims. "Not the kind of news that one adjusts to easily." He looks over to Avery and smiles. "Oh, my reputation precedes me, then? Nice to meet you too, Avery."

Avery Woods: "It's been all good, Christian."

Avery Woods: And she adds too, "Hi Sims." ((sorry about that. Meant to post that sooner))

Christian Gallagher: "Well, that's good to know. Sha is my best PR person." He smiles over to Sha.

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She gives a small nod and let's her arms drop. She nods again at Christian, putting a hand gently on his back for a moment, then smiles when she's called his best PR person.* It's easy with you, you have so many wonderful qualities. *She winks at him*

Avery Woods: "Looking for high tech toys?" she asks to no one in particular?

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims looks over to Avery* "Kinda, just sorta lookin. It was free to get in so here i am." *He says with a grin.* "You?"

Christian Gallagher: "Well, Avery...what brings you here?" He smiles some, chuckling at Sha-Sha's comment. "The lure of technology, or just watching the...interesting people who come to see it?"

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She chuckles as the question seems to be asked of everyone nearly at the same time.*

Avery Woods: "Yeah, this is my kinda thing. Wanted to see what was out."

Christian Gallagher: "I'm here to check out the sound equipment, myself. Always lookin' for bigger and better in that department."

Avery Woods: "Might buy a couple things and take them apart and see how long it takes to put it back together again," she shrugs.

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims chuckles* "Geez you all technophiles or somethin?"

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: And I'm here with him to learn and to people watch. *She grins indicating Christian when she says him*

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: Maybe a little. *She grins at Sims*

Avery Woods: "Something wrong with technophiles?"

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~ -> Christian Gallagher: ((Could you let your wife know that MSN is no longer letting me reply to her, please? :( ))

Simon "Sims" Ashford: "Nah, nothin wrong with em. Just crazy findin out you all are...didnt really see it before ya know?" *He says with a shrug*

Christian Gallagher: "Wouldn't go that far," he says with a shrug and a grin. "I'm a fan of modern living, though."

Avery Woods: "Thought you knew I was a mechanic. Guess not."

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *He grins to Avery* "Umm bad memory somedays, my bad."

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: Meeting anyone in a place like this, you almost should expect it. *She chuckles*

Avery Woods: "It's okay, Sims. I forget too. Can't keep track of who knows what I do or not."

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: Hey, they have a little semi-food court thing over at the end there, you guys want to grab a table and gets some drinks or something?

Avery Woods: "I could stand to sit for a little bit."

Christian Gallagher: "That sounds like a plan to me," he says to Sha-Sha with a smile.

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims looks over at the tables and nods* "Sure why not"

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She grins and heads down through the booths with them. Once they get there she orders a soda and looks at the rest, apparently going to pay for all of them.*

Avery Woods: Avery considers and finally decides to go with a bottled water, then quickly going to sit down. "Thanks, Sha."

Christian Gallagher: He gets an iced tea, leaning in to hug Sha briefly from behind as she orders, and then, once he has it, moves to sit. "So you're a mechanic, Avery?"

Avery Woods: She uncaps the water and drinks slowly from it. "Yeah, cars and motorcycles....anything with them especially involving the electronics of it."

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims orders a coke* "Thanks, Sha." *He says as he takes a seat. Listening to the conversation*

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She leans back into Christian a little when he hugs her, smiling. She pays for the drinks before taking her own and joining them at the table.*

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She listens to Avery and Christian talk about the mechanical work, smiling.*

Christian Gallagher: "Nice." He nods a little bit, smiling. "I know that electronics weren't anything I had the slightest clue about, until I got into deejaying. Even now, it's a fairly sepcialized area, and I only know enough to get buy."

Avery Woods: "Yeah, it can be. The technology always changes too."

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims just scratches his head as they talk about all of it.* "Man this stuff hurts my head...i was just lookin for a new car stereo"

Christian Gallagher: "Yeah, tell me about it." He laughs a little bit. "Hard for me to keep up, most of the time."

Avery Woods: She sighs quietly and goes back to sipping the water slowly, looking out to the crowd for a very long moment.

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: It's just a matter of how much time you devote to it. *She looks at Avery, a mildly concerned look on her face.*

Christian Gallagher: He nods to Sha-Sha. "Yeah, I know. And Christ knows I devote enough to it."

Avery Woods: She glances back to those at the table again, staying quiet.

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She stands up after a moment.* Hey, I'll be back, I need to use the ladies room. *She looks at Avery* Come with me?

Avery Woods: "Yeah, actually....I could...." She stands up slowly, taking one more sip of the water before leaving the bottle there.

Christian Gallagher: "Okay, hon." He nods to Sha-Sha, and gives Avery a small smile before picking up his tea to sip at.

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She waits for the other woman and heads towards the bathroom with her, once they are away from the guys she looks over at her and asks.* What's wrong, hun?

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims watches the girls go off, kinda confused but having seen it all before doesnt say anything. He turns back to Christian* "So what sorta music you play again?"

Avery Woods: Avery must have scouted it out earlier because she seems to know exactly where to head and takes off ahead of Sha.

Avery Woods: "I've gotta go...." she tells Sha before heading inside.

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *And she walks quickly to keep up*

Christian Gallagher: "Electronica. Mostly, I favor Ambient and Trance...sometimes I venture into the House scene, but not so much."

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She sighs, not pressing any further.*

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *He nods* "Cool, i like anything fast myself, dont really care to much what it sounds like." *He says with a shrug* "Long as the beat is fast"

Christian Gallagher: He quirks a grin and nods. "So what do you do?"

Simon "Sims" Ashford: "Ummm well you mean for a job? Or just what i do with my life?"

Christian Gallagher: "Either, or both."

Simon "Sims" Ashford: "Well...i perform in Battery.." *He seems a little ashamed at that.* "But what i really do...im a Traceur."

Christian Gallagher: He gives a curious smile. "Caught me unwares. What's a Traceur?"

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *He grins* "A freerunner, ya ever seen guys climb buildings without any gear, jump between rooftops and do all sorts of crazy shit over parts of the city? Thats what i do."

Christian Gallagher: "Ahh, cool." He nods a little bit. "Must be in one hell of a good shape to be able to do that..."

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *He nods* "I'd say im pretty decent...not as good as some but im gettin there." *He sips his drink* "I'll be the best soon though, as long as i keep trainin"

Christian Gallagher: "Well, best of luck." He smiles to Sims. "You'd certainly kick my ass as far as that goes."

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *He grins* "Heh thanks. Though too be fair...dont think id have a chance in hell behind a pair of turntables"

Christian Gallagher: "Fair enough." He chuckles at that.

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *He looks over towards the washrooms* "Man...can they take much longer?" *He says with a grin*

Christian Gallagher: "They'll be out in due time," he says with a chuckle. "I've gotten used to it."

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She nods.* Alright, hun. We'll talk more later. Want me to come by tomorrow or something? Don't have to talk then if you don't want...just to hang out, maybe do something to get your mind off of it?

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: ((Swweeeeeeeeps up the PM))

Avery Woods: ((I've gotta jet. End of my shift here at work. So, Avery won't be joining them after all. Thanks for the play!))

Christian Gallagher: ((Thanks! *Hugs*))

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *He quirks an eyebrow* "Oh yeah? That from having ia girlfriend or from other experience?"

Simon "Sims" Ashford: ((later!!))

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: ((Take care hun)) *She comes back from the bathroom, alone, chewing her lip, lost in thought.*

Avery Woods: She heads out of the bathroom ahead of Sha. "Not sure if I'll wanna talk yet about it. But we'll see. Thanks. And tell Christian and Sims I had a dinner date..." she smiles a little. "Take care and have a good evening."

Avery Woods: ((*poofs*))

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: ((*moves Avery's above my last and adds in before it.* I will, you take care too. *She smiles warmly back*

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *When she gets back she smiles a bit* Sorry about that guys, Avery had a dinner date and had to take off.

Christian Gallagher: "Little of both." He smiles, and looks up to Sha when she comes back. "Everything okay?"

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims looks up from his drink and nods to her* "Welcome back. Dinner date huh? Sounds nice"

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: Well, *She grimaces a little.* She just filed the papers and got Snyde to sign for a divorce last night.

Christian Gallagher: He winces. "Ooh. Shit."

Simon "Sims" Ashford: "ohhh...damn" *He says almost at the same time as Christian* "Well least its over"

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She shrugs a little at Sims, then nods at Christian.* Yeah, she didn't really want to talk about it but I can just imagine how it went. *She sits down and leans against Christian some.*

Christian Gallagher: He slips an arm around Sha-Sha's shoulders and sighs. "Yeah, I know you can."

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She sighs* I'm sorry guys, I don't mean to be a mood killer.

Christian Gallagher: "No, it's okay." He smiles a little. "Not your fault at all, Sha."

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims shakes his head* "Bad things happen least shes gettin through hers"

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She slips an arm around Christian and squeezes him a little. Then looks at Sims* I hope so. *pause* Anyway....

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims looks between them both.* "This the moment where im supposed to cut out or somethin?"

Christian Gallagher: "Anwyay." He smiles and nods. "I think I'm teched out. What else is on tonight's agenda?"

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She shrugs at Sims.* That's up to you. *She looks up at Christian.* I don't know. It's been a while since we've gone dancing. Or could do some riding. Or see if there's a concert or something?

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *He contemplates it for a moment* "Nah, i think ill leave you guys to do whatever your gonna do right? Threes a crowd." *He says as he stands.*

Christian Gallagher: "Whatever works," he says with a casual shrug. He looks to Sims and smiles. "You don't have to...but if you are, then, it's been nice meeting you, and I'll see you around."

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: Good night Sims. Be good.

Simon "Sims" Ashford: *Sims smiles* "Good to meet you to man, see ya around" *He gives a cocky grin to sha* "Well see bout that though." *He waves to them as he heads off* ((Thanks for the scene guys:) ))

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: ((Thanks and have fun)) *She raises an eyebrow at that but shakes her head and waves then looks at Christian and smiles* So no preference on what you want to do?

Christian Gallagher: "If I'm doing it with you?" He grins. "Then the activity is incidental."

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She grins.* Alright then, lets go riding and see where we wind up?

Christian Gallagher: "Sounds good to me." He nods and rises to his feet.

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She stands as well and heads back for the entrance with him, then on towards her bike (?)*

Christian Gallagher: He follows her out.

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She unlocks the helmets, hands over one to him before putting on her own.* So, fly or take it easy?

Christian Gallagher: He puts the helmet on and grins a little. "I'm feeling a little crazy. Do your worst."

Sha-Sha ~Tech Convention~: *She laughs* No, I'll try to avoid killing us both. *She slides onto the bike and waits for him to get on behind her before taking off with a squeal of the tires.*

Christian Gallagher: He grins and holds on tight as Sha pulls off.

Sha-Sha: d10: Jump Drive: 5,5,9,1,2,3,6,

Sha-Sha: ((Er...erase the Jump from that.*L* )) *Well, it's less than impressive but she manages to keep from stalling the bike out, waiting until she gets out of the heart of the city to really start having fun.*

Christian Gallagher: He smiles a little bit, knowing that she's just getting warmed up, and just waits for it.

Sha-Sha: d10: Bounce Wit Me: 3,2,8,5,6,4,7,

Sha-Sha: *As they get further out into the less populated areas she bounces the bike up over small bumps in the ground, up and down the curbs taking care to avoid areas where there might actually be pedestrians and keeping an eye out for cops.*

Christian Gallagher: He's no longer quite as tense when she lets it all hang out, though his grip around her waist does tighten, of course. He's less tense. He's not suicidal.

Sha-Sha: ((*L* That's good. She'd have a problem with him being suicidal *L*)) *She drives around, looking for something, just randomly moving about there seems to be no rhyme nor reason to where she's going.*

Sha-Sha: d10: : 6,

Sha-Sha: *Eventually she gives up finding the perfect jump spot and starts heading back towards the main part of the city.*

Sha-Sha: *And from there, homeward.*

Christian Gallagher: ((And fade here...))
