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*)

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: d10: dex+athletics: 8,2,9,6,8,7,9,

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]: d10: dex+ath : 9,9,5,4,3,8,2,

Ntwadumela: ((That being Kelly))

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: d10: dex+ath: 5,3,10,9,4,10,1,

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: d10: spec: 5,9,

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*

Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: d10: dex+ath ((wp)): 2,1,3,9,6,10,4,

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: d10: dex+ath: 8,1,3,7,6,8,5,

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]: d10: dex+ath : 8,4,4,3,2,3,9,

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: d10: dex+ath: 1,3,3,3,4,3,10,

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: d10: : 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*

Kelsey Horn (PB3): d10: dexath: 3,5,7,2,6,2,1,

Kristina Jaccobs [PB 1]: d10: dex+ath ((wp)): 5,8,10,6,9,2,7,

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: d10: per+alert: 3,6,3,7,7,

Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((*whines, is way behind already and the scene just started*))

Andy Gallo [PB 2]: d10: dex+dodge (wp): 10,8,3,6,5,8,

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.
