Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *Kristina moves
through the park wearing a long black leather coat over a black t-shirt with the
word bitch written across it. She has some old balck jeans on and a pair of
black combat boots. Her black hair is pulled behind her and she has pretty green
eyes. The girl could almost be considered beautiful if her mannerism matched her
looks*
Kelsey Horn: ((I do Mel!))
Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((It;s the jean brigade!
*L*))
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: (nothin wrong with it!
*giggles*)

Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *Kristina moves
out infront of Andy as he rolls through the park the girl seeming a bit
distracted by somthing*
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Andy is doing a fair job
of weaving through the park going pedestrians. He swerves to miss Kristina by a
mere inch, before looking over his shoulder with a crooked grin. "Hey.. watch
where I'm going." He says, a bit more softspoken than you'd expect.
Ntwadumela: ((Need to get AK or Dusty to
do a good description for him, but..) Mel is a mid thirtiesh black man, with a
slender gymnast build. He's got wild hair that may go halfway or further down
his back if it ever lay flat. He's got on purple denim jeans, and managed to get
his shoes from his jeep today. He's got on a long sleave white shirt that
buttons up the middle. He also has some kind of black case with some paperwork
showing in a clear sleave on the side.
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She blinks as she watches
the girl almost roll over that guy over there. She moves closer to listen. He is
pretty cute after all.*
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *The girl turns to
the boy* "watch your damn self"
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He gives a quiet snicker,
still rolling around the vacinty slowly. "Such hostility. You must be a coffee
drinker. Or a bitch. You act like I'M the one that was spacing.."
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *She looks up
before stomping over towards the boy* "What did you call me?"
Ntwadumela: And he leans on something
sturdy when he walks up on a fight about to break out.
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He continues to roll
around. Away from the angry girl. He shrugs. "I didn't call you anything you
don't aparently already think of yourself as." He points to the word bitch
written across her chest. "What's your beef?"
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She watches. Oh she is
not going to bully him. She is NOT! She walks closer still, arms crossing.*
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *She glares at
him* "Watch yourself boy if you want all your parts intact"
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He quirks a brow with the
same crooked grin pointed at Kristina. Rolling away effortlessly. "Ummm.. I'll
thank you to keep your hands OFF my parts, babe. Thanks for the offer, though."
Ntwadumela: Mel gives a bit of a salute
to the other individual watching the brewing fisticuffs.
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]:

Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *The girl starts
in a mad dash towards the boy anger aparent in her eyes*
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Aaaaaand.. the boy picks
up his pace. To keep a good distance between them. He chuckles. "Wow.. Umm.. You
New York girls sure are friendly and all. Care to QUIT fucking chasing me? It's
kinda creepy."
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *she gives a low
growl as she continues dashing towards him*

Andy Gallo [PB 2]:

Ntwadumela: He's not feeling particularly
up to a prolonged chase, but he does follow. Figuring the sounds will keep him
informed of the right direction.
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Andy lets out a startled "Eep!"
When she keeps chasing him. Almost girlish.. a fighter he is not. He yells out
"Crazy dyke! Help! Crazy dyke won't lay off!"
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She growls and takes off
after the pair.* Yo bitch, lay off!
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]:

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He looks over his
shoulder, as the gap starts to close in. "What tha fuck?!"
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *She growls as she
sees the boy slow down and reaches into her pocket and pulls out a rather heavy
looking book of crossword puzzles and chuncks it in his direction*

Andy Gallo [PB 2]:

Ntwadumela: Follows after the other three,
letting them get a nice lead on him. The yelling makes for an easy time knowing
where they're at.
Kwan Lo: *A thin yong Asian man, apparently a
recent-enough immigrant to not realize that taking a night stroll through
Central Park is a bad idea, is doing just that, up ahead, on the path, listening
to a Walkman.*
Andy Gallo [PB 2]:
d10: stay on board: 5,6,2,8,2,8,9,
Kwan Lo: ((Color shift))
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She scoops up a rock and
throws it at the girl who just threw the crossword book. God she HATES Bullies.*
Ravyn -> Kwan Lo:
((Make sure you put [Playtesting] in your tag.
*S*))
Kelsey Horn (PB3):
d10: Dex + Ath: 9,3,6,9,6,8,2,
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: ((oops. Thanks for
the reminder, Ravyn.))
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: ((So can anyone
tell me if there would be damage for a crossword puzzle book thats relatively
thick))
Ravyn:
((Okay, here to mod. *Waves* Kristina, roll, um...fuck. Crossword
book...Strength - 1 damage. You got 1 success to hit, and so there's no bonus
for successes...frankly, I've never seen a hardbound book of crossword
puzzles.))
Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((I have but it
wouldn't fit in a pocket. soooo.))
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: ((Its not hard
bound))
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]:
d10: dam: 2,
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: When he's clocked by the
book, he blinks still rolling away as fast as his lil legs can carry him. "Umm..
alright.. THAT was unexpected. Don't really dig crosswords. Now, umm.. would you
kindly LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!?" Oo.. concerned party. He skates toward Kelsey.
Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((*waits for that to
resolve before going onto the stone* *L*))
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *The shouted
portion is enough to get his attention, so he turns, and his eyes go wide at the
sight of the angry people on the path behind him.*
Ravyn: The
book bounces off Andy's shoulder harmlessly...and Kelsey raises the rock to
chuck at Kristina. ((Kristina, roll Per+Alert to see if you notice the rock
coming and can dodge. Kelsey was behind you, and you were focused on Andy, I
doubt expecting the woman behind you to chuck a rock your way.))
Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((Er...to get to Kelsey
Andy would have to go TOWARDS Kristina....))
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]:
d10: per+alert: 5,4,8,3,
Ravyn:
Kristina seems movement behind her, and a rock coming. ((Can try to dodge.))
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: (yes. I realize this. He's
making a wise circle trying to get back that way. Obviously not just turning
around and plowing over the angry woman. Also trying to put pedestrians in
between him and the crazy woman. As to avoid being hit by any more.. er..
books.)
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]:
d10: Dex+dodge: 4,5,6,5,4,9,7,
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: (wise.. heh. WIDE. yeah.)
Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((Wise is appropriate too!
*L*))
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *And someone is
throwing rocks? This place is too serene for such violence... He tsks, softly,
but wisely stays back from the melee... a bit compelled by human curiousity to
see what happens. He does take off the walkman so he can eavesdrop.*
Ravyn: Nooot
quite enough, and the rock smacks Kristina upside the head. ((Strength+extra
succ damage; in this case, that's Str+1. Bashing.))
Ravyn: ((NOT
upside the head. On the shoulder. Gahh.))
Kelsey Horn (PB3):
d10: Str: 2,9,5,
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]:
d10: soak: 5,4,10,7,
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *She turns towards
the woman who just threw the rock* "What the fuck is your problem lady?"
Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((*L* So that'd be 2
bashing then? Or should I have rolled four dice. *has been a long time since I
did combat*))
Ntwadumela: Yesterday, he wears his
rollerblades. Today, he doesn't. Why does his timing suck so?
Kelsey Horn (PB3): You. And people like you.
Bullies. God you are so pathetic. You have to beat people up to feel good? Leave
the man alone. He didn't do shit to you.
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: While she's distracted, he
continues making a WIDE circle around the woman. He aims to roll behind Kelsey,
putting her between him and the angry woman. Yeah. Let the womens fight it out.
"I just came here for a fucking hotdog.. " he mutters under his breath.
Ravyn: ((You
should have rolled four, your Str being 3, but it's kinda pointless, since
Kristina soaked to. Regardless of the fourth die, Kristina took no damage.))
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: "Why because I
dont like smart mouthed punks calling me a bitch?" *she says as she storms
towards the woman*
Ravyn -> Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]:
((Just as an FYI...might wanna consider rolling
rage, man. With all the storming and anger Kristina's emitting, she's seeming
pretty pissed.))
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Andy does his best to keep
from yelling out, Catfight! He keeps an eye on the upset females. Feeling a bit
bad to have started a tiff.
Ntwadumela: Mel grins at Andy. "Did you
start this delightful chain of events?"
Kelsey Horn (PB3): Yeah, a better woman would
be able to take being called a bitch without trying to beat the crap out of him.
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He gives a soft chuckle.
"Umm.. yeah.. seems all I have to do is open my mouth and I get books thrown at
me. Real fuckin ladies man. My mom'd be proud."
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *He keeps an eye on
the pair, watching them closely. He starts to walk around them, giving them a
wide berth--wider than the skateboarder did, even, since he would have to run
away if things got ugly.*
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1] -> Ravyn:
((Allright since she is no longer focused totally
on Andy whats the diff 5 or 4?))
Ravyn: Some
of the local homeless have started to move up, looking intrigued at this
development and potential catfight. They do keep a respectful distance, though.
A few barks are heard, travelling throughout the park.
Ravyn -> Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]:
((Standard for the moon phase. Diff 5, she's not
frenzying.))
Ntwadumela: "At least it was just a book.
I mean, if she had been armed with anything worse..."
Ntwadumela: Mel looks around at the
homeless and the barking.
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: His brows raise
defensively "I didn't DO anything to the girl! She just.. flipped. Crazy
bitch.." He does his best to keep his voice low. Afraid of a woman? Possibly..
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1] -> Ravyn:
((Cool cool because if her focus was on andy the
diff would be 4 *G*))
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *He tilts his head,
surprised there are dogs loose in the park. He tries to avoid most of the
homeless--not out of disdain, but because he honestly doesn't have enough money
to hand out to strangers--he's learned about THAT custom quickly enough.*
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Andy shifts a bit,
nervously looking at the gathered hoard of people. "Umm.. fun. A crowd. I think
it might be time for me to be.. not here."
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *She continues to
storm towards the woman that threw the rock at her until she is about up in her
face*
Ntwadumela: "You don't want to see the
outcome of the fight?"
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She stands her ground,
not in the least bit cowed by the other girl's attitude. She growls at her.* You
need to learn some self-restraint.
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *He finally makes
it around to the pair on the far side of the confrontational women.* Pardon, but
should someone call the police? *He speaks with a strong, but not
indecipherable, chinese accent.*
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: "You need to learn
to mind your own fucking buisness" *She says with a growl* "Tell your fucking
boy friend to watch where he's going and to learn some respect"
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: HE looks to Kwan and says
simply "Nope. Not a fan." He looks back to Ntwadumela "Yeah.. that'd be cool and
all.. I just.." He looks around again. Tense. He turns his gaze back to the
fight. Insanely curious.
Ntwadumela: "Maybe. I'm surprised a
mounted patrol hasn't already come this way. That said... " Mel shrugs. "Depends
on how far they intend this to go. Better to work it out now than have it
fester."
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She smirks* Sweet, I'll
have to remember that defending a guy against bullies makes him my boyfriend.
You'd better buy me some roses! *She calls back to Andy.*
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He raises a finger and
gains a confused look "Umm.. boyfriend? Little forward.. considering I'd never
SEEN the woman before. She IS hot though.. I mean.. anyone who'd lob a rock at
someone on my behalf.. is hot in my book." He nods and shoves his hands back in
his pockets.
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *He looks puzzled
at Andy's comment, but then Ntwadumela's explanation seems to clarify matters
for him.* Ah, yes, I understand your point. *Looks back at the women.*
Ravyn: A
couple individuals come up to the forefront of the group of homeless people,
themselves not looking like your usual rabble. They watch calmly as the two
girls square off.
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *Kristina
continues to stare at the woman* "Look, this is not the right fucking time to be
dealing with your and his shit" *she says as she takes a deep breath before
sniffing at the woman a bit*
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: "Roses?" He asks with a
blink. Taken back. Maybe she's kidding.. god I hope so. Roses are expensive. I
wonder if she'd settle for those weeds over there..
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]:
d10: Per + Empathy: 5,6,6,5,2,6,
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He quirks a brow and
points at Kristina, looking back to Ntwadumela. "Ummm.. is she sniffing her?
That a New York thing?"
Ntwadumela: mel shrugs. "Maybe she needs
to douche."
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *He looks at Andy,
and nods* If you wish, I know a florist who sells flowers very cheap--they are
older, you have to take time to remove wilted petals.
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Andy looks to
Ntwadumela and bursts out laughing. It only gets worse when Kwan asks what it
is.
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: "Yeah.. I'm SO not buying
her flowers.."
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: ((*Snickers* Hey,
he's ESL and been in the country a couple weeks, tops. *L* Some words just don't
make it into the textbooks....))
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She looks over at the
homeless people surrounding them, any that look like they might be leading the
not so usual rabble get a respectful nod.*
Ntwadumela: "Go to the grocery store, ask
for the Fem-Hi section. you'll find the word."
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *Kristina stands
there stareing at the woman before giveing a nod to those who are leading the
homless as well*
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He shakes his hand, still
laughing. "No, dude. Don't do it. It's not worth it. Stay AWAY from the douche."
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *He looks at Mel,
nods.* "Femhai". Got it, thank you very much. *Looks to Andy.* What is so
amusing?
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He scrated his greasy mop.
"Umm.. they're nodding to homeless people now." He looks up to Ntwadumela for
another witty explanation.
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *He looks to Andy,
then finally notices the way the homeless have arrayed themselves.* It is almost
like a meeting. *Blinks a bit.* I thought most of the beggars worked alone.
Ntwadumela: It's a tradition you see. Mel
went through the ESL stage a decade ago. Now he gets to introduce new ESLs to
the glory of new words. "I think it may be time for us to move on."
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He nods to Ntwadumela
"Yep. Sounds like what I said.. umm.. roughly five minutes ago." He smirks and
starts a slow roll away from the group.
Ravyn: The
two, one man, one woman, nod to both Kristina and Kelsey at their gestures.
Remaining calmly there, watching.
Ntwadumela: Mel winks at the homeless
surrounding the ladies, and starts off with the other two. "So, you two both new
to the Big Apple?"
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She looks back at
Kristina, apparently not going to push any further. Her point was made.*
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *He looks at the
other two men.* But why? Is this not also interesting?
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He quirks a brow at all
the nodding. He nods in that direction. A couple of times, actually. Maybe it
was some kind of weird park cult or something. Creeeeeeeeepy.. He gives a
crooked grin and slowly keeps his roll going away from the group.
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *The younger girl
finally steps back and looks like she may be calming down a bit before turning
and looking towards Andy* "You had best get the girl some flowers or next time
ill curb stomp you" *she says as she takes a deep breath*
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *He nods to Mel.*
Yes. I am Kwan. *He gives a head-dip.* Pleased to meet you.
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: "Yep. Just got in the
other day. I've been before. Once when I was a kid. But it's been a long time,
and I was young."
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: His eyes widen on
Kristina. Looking defensive. " - the fuck?" He mutters under his breath,
frowning at the angry girl. He mutters.. barely audible "I got your flowers,
bitch.."
Ntwadumela: "Ntwadumela. Mel if that's too
much a mouthful. And some interesting things are best left unobserved."
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *He looks back at
the shout, then at Andy.* Would you like the address of that florist, then? I
think she meant it.
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She nods at Kristina as
the girl backs off. She turns to walk towards the men, perfectly amiable again.*
Hey, wait up.
Ntwadumela: Andy: "Do yourself a favor and
let it rest."
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *He looks to Mel.*
I suppose that is true enough, although it seems that they ahve stopped, anyway.
Ntwadumela: Mel slows down and smiles as
the next lady joins them.
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: *He nods to Kelsey
as she joins them.* The matter is settled, then?
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He nods to Mel, giving a
smile Kelsey's way. "Hey, sorry about that. Didn't mean to start anything."
Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: *Kristina moves
off from the group to collect her book before heading off deeper into the park
tonight was obviously not a night for social gatherings* ((Thanks for the
scene))
Kelsey Horn (PB3): Seems that way, except
for one minor thing. *She offers a hand towards Andy.* Kelsey...
Kwan Lo [Playtesting]: ((*Waves to KJ-p*
Good stuff!))
Ravyn: As the
scene breaks up, so does the watching crowd.
