Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: "You're only as old as you feel right kido?" he chuckles.

Eugenia Phelps: "Age is just a state of mind." Her shivery two cents.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): So. Twelve bucks and you can stick your face in a tray full of Sweet and Sour Shrimp and gobble like you were King Henry. And Felisa was a little tempted to do so... but she didn't, electing to pile a little bit of everything on a plate, get a glass of coke and sit at one of the far tables.
"Fuck me, I think I'm drooling... I really should eat more, but I always forget," she said, biting into a shrimp roll.

Eugenia Phelps: She chuckles and loads up her plate. With a figure like hers, it's amazing to think that she can pack away so much food. "I forget to eat from time to time, but it's usually because I'm so busy that it just doesn't occur to me to pause and eat."

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: He piles bits of most things on, though there's some bits he avoids and then walks over joining her taking the seat opposite shrugging his trenchcoat off and hanging it on the back of the chair. "forgetting to eat just ain't healthy for you. he shakes his head but smiles sitting

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "No, it generally isn't. But you know how it is sometimes. Concentrating on a bit of work, or reading, something that you can really zero in on, and before you know it the dawn approaches."
It was said as she stuffed her mouth with rice noodles and beef. Looks the the woman wasn't lying or anything; she was ravenous. "So uh, what were you guys up to? I mean, I don't wanna seem as if I'm at the wheel of the ship."

Eugenia Phelps: "Well, I went home, spent a great deal of time talking to my neighbors before I finally was able to take a long bath. I changed clothes, and then came out here." Her hair is still a bit damp, but that's because it's on the long side of things.

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: "Before running into the two of you, looking for an old friend, but apparently she quit her job" he shrugs "Then I was looking for something to pass my dday off, think I came off trumps." a smile to the both of them. he starts on his own meal.

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: A glance over to the window and then back to his plate as he continues eatting, he did so hate to let down on his predictions. what could it hurt.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "You know maybe I should buy you a pair of thick socks or something, the thickest i can find. Because we're indoors and you're shivering up a storm. You'll catch your death at this rate."

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: d10: LoS: 9,4,2,2,2,2,2,

Eugenia Phelps: "I doubt the cold will kill me." She laughs softly and shakes her head before digging into her food. "I am wearing thick, heavy duty stockings."

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: ((awareness may be rolled)) and outside the rain begins to fall, it's only a light drizzle mind.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): ((Can Investigation count?))

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: ((nope, only awareness, don't worry only tends to be applicable to magey and demony sorts so your character'll hardly be at a huge dissadvantage not having it.))

Eugenia Phelps: d10: per+awareness: 9,2,6,9,

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): Felisa looked under the table. Yup, those are some thick stockings all right. "Hm. I still think you should wear pants though, all the same. Your legs'll be hidden and I won't look quite as stubby," she said, smirking down at her food.

Eugenia Phelps: She looks thoughtful for a moment, looking around before shrugging. Something's up, she just..can't tell what it is.

Eugenia Phelps: "Bah. You don't look stubby, sweetheart." She laughs a little at Felisa with a warm smile.

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: "How'd you come to the conclushion of stubby?" he says before attacking his food again.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): 'Well look at her. I mean she's like, long and graceful and shit. I'm kinda gangly at best, almost out of that teenager spurt, and every time I look in the mirror everything looks out of proportion."
She took in a slug of her coke and wiped her mouth. "Dude she's a knockout."

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: "Not denying it, but you still put yourself down to much kid, trust ok?"

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: "You're not stubby and you're pretty, you'll grow into the little bits that don't fit in no time, don't put yourself down, confidence comes into play aswell ya'know."

Eugenia Phelps: She is actually blushing just a little as she eats. "I'm not a knockout." Mumbling a little sheepishly.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "Yes you are... I'll tell you what; wait until spring hits, or summer. People are going to be all over you honey, that's a fact." She munched happily on her food, swallowed, then addressed Cameron. "I'll be fine man, I'm not overly worried about it. But I know what I am as well."

Eugenia Phelps: She finishes her first plate and, yes, she's going in for seconds. Mm..food...

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: "It's good to know what you are, avoiding what you are only causes agro, more so generally than facing it." he sits back picking up his glass of water and staring into it for a moment, lost from the outside world it seems.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): Seconds was a good idea, one that Felisa supported whole-heartedly, and she trotted over to the buffet table to fill up on the next items, plus a couple of the things that were so good she just had to taste them again. Eugenia got a playful bump on the hip before Felisa went back to the table and started eating again.
"I'm going to have to remember this place. It's fucking delicious."

Jarod Freeman: The door opens, and he pushes his way through the front door. Even actor/singers need to eat some time. He runs a hand through his platinum blonde hair, looking around as he moves to the counter to pay and then eat.

Walking into view is a young man, blessed by God with natural great looks. He has a very "pretty-boy" face, vaguely reminiscent of Jared Leto with his well-defined facial structure and big blue eyes. He is just a little bit lanky, though he tries to stay physically fit, and it shows underneath his black turtleneck, leather trench coat, and blue jeans. His hair, a shoulder-length platinum blonde, hangs free and unfettered...the hair in his forming goatee is a shade or two darker. He walks the confidence of a man who knows who he is and what he wants.

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: d10: Per Alert.: 7,8,8,8,

Eugenia Phelps: d10: per+alert: 4,4,9,6,

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): d10: per+alert: 3,3,5,8,9,

Eugenia Phelps: She looks over her shoulder as she loads up her plate and spots the entering Jarod. He's given a brilliant smile as she heads back to her table and gestures for him to join her, Felisa, and Cameron.

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: The bell at the door knocks him back into something akin to conchiousness and he looks back. a slight shake of his head and a smile, well if that didn't beat all, a slight chuckle as Nia invites him over, some days.

Jarod Freeman: He looks up as Nia gestures to him, smiling suddenly. He glances to the table...Cameron gets a smile as well, and Felisa. He gets his plate and moves to quickly dish up, then head to their table.

Eugenia Phelps -> Jarod Freeman: [*glomp!*Hi!!!]

Jarod Freeman -> Eugenia Phelps: ((Heya! *S*))

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): She looked at him in a way that anybody looks at anybody else that has platinum blonde hair. Things like that just catch the eye, and Felisa knew that she'd seen him somewhere before; she just couldn't figure out where.
"You know that guy?" she whispered, trying not to be the complete New Yorker that she was.

Eugenia Phelps -> Jarod Freeman: [I haven't seen you on my BL. I'd wondered where you were.]

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: He takes a sip of the water and sits back his plate empty. "Fancy seeing you here" he says with a grin. "How're things with the new bussiness venture?"

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: ((whispering to who, Cameron or Nia?))

Eugenia Phelps: "Yeah, that's Jarod. I was hanging out with him the day you and I met. He's not gay. I asked. He's happily taken." Just filling Felisa in on those little details.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "I'm glad that mystery's been solved," she said, and turned to scoot over for Jarod. There was a smile and a wave, and then a mouthful of spring roll after that. Her hunger was dented, but not competely satisfied.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): ((Nia... thought he probably heard))

Jarod Freeman: He heads on over to the table and takes a seat, smiling to everyone. "Cameron, Nia, Felisa...nice to run into you all. How are you?" He smiles to Cameron. "It's still going. Trying to find a locale."

Eugenia Phelps: "You know, Felisa, for all your comments about my appearance, it's really a wonder that I'm still single." She laughs lightly and takes a few bites of food. "Nice to see you, Jarod."

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: "I'm quite well thanks, not suprising with the company really." he nods "How about you?"

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "Looking for office space?" she asked, giving Eugenia a look, and a clamp on the knee just like this afternoon. Smart ass.
"You just don't put yourself out there is all."

Eugenia Phelps: She squeaks at the knee clamp. Ticklish! "Stoppit." Swatting a little while trying not to giggle. "I do! I just..can't get a date."

Jarod Freeman: "Having a day." He shrugs. "Had better, had worse. I didn't know you three all knew each other." Maining, of course, Nia and Felisa knowing Cameron and vice versa.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "I just met Cameron today, and I've been talking to him all afternoon and well into the evening," she explained, enjoying Eugenia's little squeaks and squirms. "That all started in a seedy bar when I was trying to get a pack of smokes. Fucking ridiculous, that scene..."

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: "Didn't untill earlier, I happened to run into them after stroling around, stopped in at that cafe I told you about, with the woman who seemed interested in a job when you got stuff up and running, unfortunatly seems she quit and didn't leave a way to contact her." he shrugs "Pitty, but I'll keep an eye out none the less."

Eugenia Phelps: "I had to talk the bouncer into letting her in and then had to talk the bartender into letting her have the smokes." She explains with a giggle.

Jarod Freeman: "Damn." He sighs, and shrugs. "Ahh, well. We'll turn things up."

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: He chuckles at the other two relating the story and takes a sip of his water.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "Was she really that important? I mean, what was the job, receptionist or something?"

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: "No, just that she'd expressed interest, it's nice to give people a break now and then."

Jarod Freeman: "Opening up a nightclub with a friend," he says to Felisa with a shrug. He nods to what Cameron says, and shrugs. "We'll see."

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "Oh, okay..."
One of those things. Big money, lots of dancing, lots of drinking. She'll probably find herself sneaking into it sooner or later, just like she snuck into all the other clubs.

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: "Always the best way to be about it, go with the flow aye." an amused smile, "Speaking of going, I'd best be, I'll see you all soon though I hope." he gets up pulling his trenchcoat back on.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "I'm sure I'll see you around man, nice to met somebody comparatively normal."
Even if she wasn't, and knew how to hide it extremely well. Quiet afternoons tended to put things into perspective.

Jarod Freeman: "See you, Cameron." He nods to him. "Hey, I found a guy in Harlem who may be willing to help us out with that problem we've been having. The big one...I'll let you know if it produces anything fruitful."

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): She belched, loudly. Didn't mean to but she was eating like there was no tomorrow. "Oh fuck, pardon me please. Big problems huh?"

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: "Now there's some good news, bout time we had some." If only she knew how little normality there actually was to him, "Nice meeting you too Felisa, and you Nia. Good to see you Jarod, lets hope it's good news with the Harlem guy." a nod and he heads out pulling his coat round himself.

Eugenia Phelps: "Have a good one, Cameron." She smiles warmly and gives him a wave.

Cameron Gereard [Cantonese, all you can eat $12]: ((thanks muchly for the scene, will catch you all soon, but right now... I need to kip. night all))

Eugenia Phelps: [Sleep well!]

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): ((No problem. Nice to rp with you!))

Jarod Freeman: He nods goodbye to Cameron, and looks over to Felisa with a smile. "Yeah...nothing to be too worried over." Yeah, right. "Just trying to deal with someone who's been a pain in our asses."

Jarod Freeman: ((See ya, Blind!))

Eugenia Phelps: She takes a sip of water, humming a little to herself between bites. "I'm sure things will work out well for you, Jarod."

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "Our? That indicates a collective number of asses with a collective number of pains, and that doesn't sound good no matter how many pillows you put under your collective chairs. And if I may be so bold, if you're talking about getting outside help then it kinda stands to reason that someone, somewhere, is worried. Pass the duck sauce Eugenia, please?"

Eugenia Phelps: "Quack." She chuckles and hands over the needed sauce.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): brb... keep talking. need a smoke.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): *Back*

Eugenia Phelps: [*tries to reclaim her nick*]

Eugenia Phelps -> Jarod Freeman: [Why won't it let my nick stick?]

Jarod Freeman: "It's...a problem, yeah." He nods, sighing. "Sort of a more specialized one, though. Guy that's causing Cameron, myself, and a few friends some concern. Nothing to stress over, I promise."

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): ((Ack! Where did everyone go?))

Jarod Freeman: ((Your Nick will time out if you don't update or post after a certain amount of time, and sadly, it drops everyone who's logged with a nick since you did. Make sure you kill your nick if you're going to be inactive...that one was probably my fault.))

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "Well alright..."
She wasn't entirely convinced, but Jarod seemed to want this problem kept in her own circle and Felisa had quite a lot on her own plate, so she shrugged and dabbed a little duck sauce on her food, striking the usual queries out of her mind.

Eugenia Phelps: [Sorry! Work was making me do work stuff again.*laughs*]

Eugenia Phelps: She ponders a third plate of food, but decides to remain stationary for now. "Well, if you need any help doing anything, just let me know. I try to do my best to help people."

Jarod Freeman: He smiles a bit, then gets to his food finally.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "I'm guessing it's a matter of something specific, seeing as it's a specialized need. Still, if there's anything I can do..."
She trailed off, figuring they got the jist of what she was trying to say, but it might have seemed odd for a teenager to offer any sort of aid.

Jarod Freeman: "Maybe," he says to Eugenia with a nod. "We'll see what happens...don't anticipate it at this point."

Jarod Freeman: And a nod given to Felisa as well.

Eugenia Phelps: "All righty." She beams, a nearly breathtaking sight, and then she hops up for a third heaping plate of food. She must have a hollow leg or something for all the food she's consuming.

Eugenia Phelps: She comes back to the table, sits down, and commences with the eating.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): It was all she could do to clamp her mouth shut and not leave it hanging open, such a smile that woman had. Shaking it off she went back to the food on her plate. "Dunno how she does that," she muttered. "Incredible really."

Jarod Freeman: "It's a talent, it seems." He smiles widely, and then sighs, leaning back at his table. "So, then. Food's getting out of the way...what's on your ladies' agendas for the night?"

Eugenia Phelps: "I have nothing planned. I'm just playing it by ear at the moment." She shrugs and then just continues to eat. She's famished still, it seems.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "Seems that I have... the night off, so to speak." She fiddled around in the folds of her hoodie, located the phone and checked it. No messages.

Eugenia Phelps: "Do you have any ideas, Jarod?"

Jarod Freeman: He shrugs a little, smiling. "I have the night off myself...was thinking maybe of heading out to a club or something. It's either that, or I sit at home alone or in a bar alone."

Eugenia Phelps: "Felisa did mention an interest in drinking..."

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "That I did, and now that I'm full of Cantonese goodness I can safely hold my ill-gotten booze in my stomach. Or I can erupt in a fit of projectile vomiting. Either way it promises intrigue."
She looked at them both and winked.

Jarod Freeman: He chuckles a bit. "That works. So where to, then? Any ideas?"

Eugenia Phelps: "I don't know. I'm still on my trying new bars kick. So, if you have anything in mind, I'm game. Let's just hope the bouncers are friendly."

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "Not a clue as to where, mainly because I'm generally happy to just get in, much less get into a fancy hip place. I figured you two would know where the real action is."
Being all growed up and everything.

Jarod Freeman: "I can make the bouncers friendly." He shrugs a bit. "Got a few options. I should probably go around and scout out some places anyway, see what's working and what isn't. Heard of this place called the Limelight Club from a friend...might be worth checking out."

Eugenia Phelps: "Sounds promising." She finishes her food and sips at her water. "Why don't we just finish up here and then head out?"

Jarod Freeman: "Works for me." He nods a little, just in the process of finishing up his plate as it is.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "Well alright, lets head 'em up and move 'em out."
Oh, this sounds like some sort of adventure, and Felisa was kinda keen on adventures. She actually seemed excited over it all, which wasn't all that usual. "Does anyone have a car, or is it within walk distance? Or should we just take the subway?"

Eugenia Phelps: "I don't own a car." Which is why she relies on public transportation.

Jarod Freeman: "My car is still in the shop." He shrugs. "It's within walking distance, though."

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): "Cool. I probably need to burn some of this off anyways." she gave her belly a good pat, waiting until the others finished their food before getting out of her chair.

Eugenia Phelps: "Not too far, I hope." She's already making sure she's as bundled as possible before standing, making sure to leave money for the food.

Jarod Freeman: "Naah, I don't think so." He rises up from his chair and moves to walk with the two ladies out the door.

Felisa Espinosa (Cantonese): ((Where to?))

Jarod Freeman: ((Limelight Club. Under Midtown Rooms. *S*))

LIMELIGHT CLUB

Felisa Espinosa : "I've heard of this place, but I've never been in," she said as she looked at the converted church from the outside. Massive, massive looking structure, and of course she was dressed all wrong for the part, though admittedly her hoodie and pants, as well as shoes, were all black.
"Looks pretty loose as well."

Jarod Freeman: "I hadn't even heard of it, before recently." He looks up, grinning at the architecture. He likes it.

Eugenia Phelps: She toys with her skirts. "I feel like I'm over-dressed." She laughs a little, running her hands over her head. "What sort of music do they do?"

Felisa Espinosa : "Well, I guess I'll run the gauntlet first."
She walked up to the steps, weaving through the crowd like a fish in coral. There was the smell of cloves, weed and things that she couldn't quite indentify, some more noxious than others. Felisa didn't expect to get through unscathed by the bouncers and she didn't; something resembling a wall wearing a suit put a hand on her shoulder.

Jarod Freeman: He smiles a little bit and comes up to the bouncer, nodding to him.

Jarod Freeman: d10: Empathic Response: 1,3,9,6,8,8,6,

Jez: He walks into the club. He is a slender young man about 18 years, 5’7”, with unruly, short black hair, a smooth, pale complexion, and a pointed, boyishly attractive face. His brown eyes have a mirthful, wicked gleam to them, and his smile is quick and roguish. He is wearing a twilight purple silk tank top with a black silk button-down shirt over it and left open and loose, with pants that look like they were molded to his lower body in molten silver. Black leather boots laced up to his knees complete the ensemble, a spiked dog collar around his throat and heavy black kohl lining his eyes. [http://www.wodnyc.net/modules/coppermine/albums/uploads10296/Jezebel.jpg]

Jarod Freeman: ((Per+Awareness)) "Hey, man. She's fine, trust me." He pats Felisa on the shoulder, and looks to the guy. "Don't worry about it." The bouncer shrugs a little and nods, letting her through.

Alexander Donovan: Alex's hair is back to falling over his shoulders in waves, and again underdressed for the weather. He does rub his arms a little as he gets into the heated part of the club. He's dressed in a tight T shirt and blue jeans (surprise!), but again has a small bit of leather ornamentation wrapped around his right arm.

Felisa Espinosa : "It's cool?"
It seemed to be, because the wall wearing the suit let her go, and she didn't stop to ask any questions regarding the matter. The thumping of bass hit her chest like a triphammer as Felisa seemed to be suddenly enveloped in a wall of rhythmic sound. She could grow to like the place.
Now. Getting something to drink was the next step. Once that happened she could relax and mingle.

Jez: He is not necessarily expecting anyone he knows, unless the people to whom he mentioned where he was going to be show up.

Antonio Pavlatos: He follows at Alexander's back like a shadow.

Felisa Espinosa : She's Puerto Rican, and the mixture of african, indian, spanish and french bloodlines mixed together to form a olive-skinned melting pot of a woman. She's pretty but not overly beautiful, the type of woman that you would try to continue conversation with if she walked up to you and asked the time, not that she would do such, or that you would ask her once you saw the hip-hop clothes, baggy pants and hoodie, an overall thug look. She's fairly avarage in height and weight, perhaps a touch taller than the typical Puerto Rican, with dirty brown hair and dark eyes that hint at a savage intellegence.))

Antonio Pavlatos: *A young man with a surreal appearance that seems to be in his late teens or early twenties. He has the nervous habit of pushing strands of his ebony hip-length hair out of his face, revealing somewhat Native American features on a face that is truly surreal, being more andrognous and pretty than handsome. He wears black leather pants laced up the sides of his legs loose enough to show patches of skin, and an oversized black sweater, with a long gray leather duster coat over it all. Around his throat is a thin, soft leather collar with a lion's open mouth as the clip link. His large chocolate-brown eyes are very expressive, and almost constantly scan around him, but rarely make actual eye contact with anyone.*

Alexander Donovan: Alex wraps an arm around Antonio and nods to the dance floor, just looking to kick back and relax.

Jarod Freeman: A phone call rings, and he picks up his cell, looking at it with a wince. "Shit...I've got to go." An apologetic look is given to Nia and Felisa. "Sorry, guys. I'll catch you later." A smile is directed them, and he heads off. ((Sorry, all. Was figuring this on being a smaller scene, don't have the ability to track a bigger scene like this right now.))
