Blind: The sky is clear and the streetlights are begining to come to life as the sky is orange with the setting sun. People are passing through and it seems to mostly be just that, walking past on their ways to where they're going with very little attention to anyone else, typical new york style. there are a row of small shops, news agent, a small dinner, grocerers and an electronics shop. At their end is a lead off into an alleyway a homeless man sat at it's corner asking passers by for change.
the opposite side of the road consists of housing and is a junction opposite the shops leading onto antoher road, the roads in the area are short as you'd expect in a residential area.


Tiernan Forbes: She is heading towars the convience store. Her hair is pinned up on top of her head today, a braid coiled into a bun. Several strands of curls that were too short to fit into the braid curl about her face and neck. She is wearing, a skirt, despite the cold weather, a button down blouse, and of course the ever present sweater over on top of it all.

Casey Iver: *Wandering down the street on one of his usual night walks Casey is humming to himself with a big smile on his face. As he passes the homeless man he gives the man several dollars and a warm hello before continuing on his way, casually looking around at the people and the places*

Blind: d10: : 9,

Kelton Michaels: He limps his way along, heading down the street. It's another night of exploration...learning the city around him. There's a faint trace of annoyance at having to explore a place he knows he's lived in for some time...but he's making a go of it.

Casey Iver: d10: P/A: 6,3,3,10,4,

Tiernan Forbes: She keeps her head down, and a hand at the top of her sweater holding it closed around her throat.

Casey Iver: *Noticing Tiernan his expression changes only slightly adding a hint of concern. He begins angling towards her hoping to talk to her for a few minutes.*

Kelton Michaels: He looks up, noting Casey and recognizing him from the diner with Mimi. He considers a moment, and starts to make his way in that direction.

Tiernan Forbes: She continues on her way to the store. Which coiming from the oposite direction heading towards Casey in the process, intercepting her shouldn't be too difficult.

Casey Iver: *Bringing up his most approachable smiles he waves to Teirnan when he gets closer* "Allo Tiernan how are ya?"

Blind -> Kelton Michaels: ((which direction is he comming from?))

Tiernan Forbes: She stops when she hears someone calling her name. She looks up, and then frowns. "I am doing just fine, thanks." She keeps her hand at the top of her sweater.

Kelton Michaels -> Blind: ((The other side of the street...the housing.))

Blind: d10: : 8,4,2,5,

Blind: ((Tiernan and Kelton roll alertness, All may roll awareness.))

Casey Iver: d10: Awareness: 9,7,7,6,

Kelton Michaels: d10: Per+Alertness: 6,5,5,4,10,

Kelton Michaels: d10: Per+Awareness: 7,6,7,9,7,4,

Tiernan Forbes: d10: Per+Alert: 9,6,4,4,3,2,

Tiernan Forbes: d10: Per+Awareness: 3,4,7,3,

Blind -> Kelton Michaels: The awareness draws your eyes to the alleyway first, you see a person leaving it, passing the homeless man and dropping some money for him, but it's a man further down the alley that really draws your attention, to hidden by shadows to get a proper look but you know he's the source of whatever just happened. you can sense it, almost see it, and then it's gone. as the man down there lights a lighter, illuminating himself slightly, but still to far away to make out much.

Kelton Michaels: He raises an eyebrow, giving a quick look in either direction, and then heads to the alleyway. The homeless man is ignored as he tilts his head, squinting a bit as he approaches the mouth of the alley.

Casey Iver: *Casey is about to respond to Tiernan when he stops short and looks over his shoulder. He stands there for a minute and contemplates it. Then turns back* "Lass, ive already seen ya bruises." *He says quietly as he looks over his shoulder again*

Tiernan Forbes: Her eyes dart around, watching, but unmoving besides that. When she catches Casey looking over his shoulder, her forwn somewhat vanishes. "So what I am clumsy." A shrug of a shoulder.

Tiernan Forbes: d10: Lie?: 1,9,4,4,1,7,

Tiernan Forbes: ((*Dies laughing*))

Blind: ((ouch, daym))

Casey Iver: d10: BS?: 3,9,4,6,

Blind -> Kelton Michaels: The guy further down the alley way exstingushies the lighter, a cigeret now hanging from his mouth he starts making his way towards the mouth of the alleyway.

Casey Iver: *He shakes his head.* "Say wha ya will lass. I've seen tha signs many times before.." *He turns slightly looking at the alley.* "I'm....sorry to have bothered ya with it lass, i jus wanna help." *He then turns between the alley and Tiernan curious.*

Tiernan Forbes: She glances to the alley then back to Casey. "Help someone else, I do not need your help."

Kelton Michaels: He raises his eyebrow and pauses there inside the mouth of the alleyway, leaning on his cane. He watches something inside the alleyway, just waiting expectantly for it to come closer.

Casey Iver: *Casey winces.* "If ya say so lass...ill always be here if ya need help though, doesn matter wha for." *He says as he turns and recognizes Kelton vaguely. He looks at Tiernan one more time and then heads towards the alley."

Blind -> Kelton Michaels: The man is five foot nine maybe ten, he looks like he's been in a fight not so long ago and is a muscular sort. He has black hair and dark eyes and a smug expreshion curled around the cigerette. He has a pair of jeans and a black T shirt that looks a little stretched on him.
As he gets closer he nods to Kelton, doesn't say anything meeting his eyes, almost a challenge or question.

Kelton Michaels: "Good evening," he says to the man in the alley, offering him a brief smile. "I couldn't help but notice your...inestimable presence, sir. Allow me to introduce myself." He puts forth a hand. "Kelton Michaels."

Tiernan Forbes: She remains silent, and standing there. She glances around and once Casey is walking off, then follows attempting to be stealthy about the whole thing. She wants to know what peeked his curiosity.

Tiernan Forbes: d10: Dex+Stealth: 5,8,6,5,

Blind: He smiles "Inestimable presence, right." he chuckles and takes a drag of the ciggerette and removes it from his mouth, as casey comes into view, he looks that way stopping infront of kelton. he looks at the hand but waves it away "I'm gonna guess the sticks just decorative or practical to stand, not a fighter? Shame" He says with amusement

Blind: The man is five foot nine maybe ten, he looks like he's been in a fight not so long ago and is a muscular sort. He has black hair and dark eyes and a smug expreshion curled around the cigerette. He has a pair of jeans and a black T shirt that looks a little stretched on him.

Blind: d10: : 7,7,2,5,

Kelton Michaels: d10: Per+Alertness: 3,2,7,10,8,

Casey Iver: *Casey steps to the mouth of the alley looking at Kelton and then into the alley to the man((reno?))*

Kelton Michaels: He looks over his shoulder, noting Tiernan's approach, and Casey's as well, before looking back and dropping his hand with a slight frown. "It is practicacl for standing, yes. I am not much good for moving without it, I'm afraid. And you are?"

Casey Iver: ((DLP)) *Casey steps to the mouth of the alley looking at Kelton and then into the alley to the man he recognizes.* "Ya seem ta pop up everywhere fella." *He says cautiously to Reno*

Tiernan Forbes: She tries to keep out of line of sight, staying back some, but close enough to hear as well.

Blind: "Damn shame, how'd that come about, or just getting old?" he says in reply to kelton, looking then to cascey smugly as he fully arrives "Evening officer, long time no see, how's the little one, I do hope you're taking care of her, would be horrible if something should happen to her wouldn't it?" before he takes another drag.

Kelton Michaels: "Mmm. Car accident." He watches the man closely. "You know...in civilized circles, it is custom to, when greeting a person, supply a name. It makes one much easier and more dignified to refer to then, 'That man.'"

Tiernan Forbes: She moves a tad bit closer hand droping from her sweater.

Blind: "Yeah, but in 'civilised circles' I don't have pigs who'd happily see me behind bars at best, isn't that right officer?" he says with a smile to casey.

Casey Iver: *Casey nods keeping it cool but he betrays a slight annoyance* "I asked ya ta stay for questionin...i didna say anythin abou arrestin ya."

Kelton Michaels: "Ahh, I see." He nods a little, looking over at Casey specualtively.

Tiernan Forbes: She pipes up. "He does seem to have a knack of sticking his nose in other people's business." Chin held high and arms crossed.

Blind: He turns noticing Tiernan for the first time a smile and a nod to her "That he does, but all his types do, cops who think they know best and the law is everything infalible and best of all the best and only way things should be done."
"Questioning, after which what? you put my head on the block, I mean they were hurt, they could press charges, no, You didn't say anything about arresting me, but you would have done."

Casey Iver: *He shakes his head.* "Up until the point where you made tha choice ta beat a man who was already defenseless an woulda been arrested. It coul have been self defense for all i knew. But you crossed tha line by beatin him when it wasna necessary." *He turns to Tiernan a look of hurt on his face* "I never pushed with ya lass...i offered, ya declined as much as i want ta help ya didna want it."

Tiernan Forbes: "No you seem to ~think~ I need help of some sort. I don't. If I did need help, I would ask for it."

Tiernan Forbes: She eyes Reno, after whqat Casey says. keeping her arms crossed, she looks at the three men, and seems to realize something and takes a step back.

Kelton Michaels: "Hmmm." He frowns a little bit, looking between them all. "This, obviously, does not involve me. I believe, perhaps, I should be moving along. Though I do believe we should talk some time," he says with a look to Reno. "I believe we may be acqainted in some way."

Blind: "Law of the street, someone starts something I'll finish it, someone deserves something then I'll give it to them, and guess what, I got fewer repeat offenders than you buddy." he grins and raises an eyebrow. "As for deffenseless, he had as much deffense as I did, unlike you I don't go pointing guns at people." He grins and looks back to kenton "as for a name, for now you can call me R, that way I'm not that man, and I don't get pigs chasing me down."

Blind: "I don't recall you, but if that's the case I'm sure that we'll be able to find the time to get reaquianted." he seems to inspect Kelton size him up

Casey Iver: "Your law involves tha sufferin a people an its tha i canna abide by. No one shoul suffer." *He shoots a glance back to Tiernan* "In anyway."

Blind: He laughs "So the rapist shouldn't suffer and instead he'll go out and rape someone else when you guys let him out, the mugger who does his time can go and mug more people they don't suffer?" he laughs "I love law men, can't see the wood from the trees."

Tiernan Forbes: She keeps her head held high, and just stares at Casey as if challenging him in some way.

Kelton Michaels: "Excellent. I shall find you sometime later, then." He shrugs and, as attention seems to be completely off of him, he heads off, limping his way out of the alley and turning down the street.

Blind: He watches Kelton go "You just can't help but ruin my nights he seemed like he might be interesting, most people like him run a mile, albeit slowly."

Casey Iver: *He shakes his head.* "Tha view is skewed. If i can, i stop it before anyone suffers. Your way someone always suffers. There are more importan things in this world to spend time upon then makin others suffer."

Blind: ((talking to casey but watching kelton.))

Casey Iver: "I ha no desire ta ruin your nigh...you brought up tha topics tha made him leave, no i."

Tiernan Forbes: "Have a good night Sir." she says to Kelton as he leaves, she does have some manners and after all he was not a cop.

Kelton Michaels: He nods a bit to the goodbye, and then he's gone.
