Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: ((Blood is MINE!))
Joshua Coil: *He sits on a bench, reading
his newspaper and sipping at coffee. Just another lazy day.*
Eddie: *the somewhat frazzled woman
wanders into the park, a pair of maternity pants slung low about her hips and a
loose top floating about her body under the opened, zip-up hoodie. sandals,
though, instead of her beloved boots*
Natasha Carter(pb2): (*lol* fiiiine...have
your blood, Ive got coffee*smirks, hides it from josh*) *hair semi pulled back,
fingers idly fiddling with the native style choker around her neck, she looks
about the ground in and around the cool shady areas as they(shes with eddie) as
if trying to find something*
Joshua Coil: ((*snicker* Bewaaaare, he
will slurp up your color.)) *He sips at his coffee, and looks back down to his
paper. Really, not a bad night. He sits in t-shirt and jeans. Lucky lucky
people. Means he's unarmed.*
Eddie: *gives Natasha a wry smile* i can't
believe how much she ate. thanks for trying to help me find something for her
that's, like, natural. in the morning, maybe we can hit some of the local plant
nurseries and see if they got any herbs i can get to try and start at home?
Eddie: ((*notes that Troy seems to be
developing vampiric tendencies with wide, wide eyes. casually tugs on a thick
turtleneck....*))
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He's actually coming
his way from the inner reaches of the Sept, the ever-present attache case held
in his right hand as he makes his way to the paths. He has the same calm as
usual...perhaps a touch of nerves to him. But nothing serious by any means. He
rolls his shoulders as he walks, cool green eyes watching as he does.
Eddie:
d10: : 8,10,2,9,10,3,
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: ((What, you guys
didn't hear about Troy being embraced by Felisa? *Whistles innocently* He's a
Malkavian Silver Fang now! ;) ))
Eddie: *pauses and blinks, chuckling* hey,
Natasha--Josh and Troy are here. all we need's Merc and we'd have a full set.
watch your ears, i'm gonna make with the loud. *and she does pause for Tasha to
brace or whatever before putting her fingers in her mouth and giving a piercing
whistle. that makes her wince hard*
Natasha Carter(pb2): *she nods, murmuring
softly as she keeps looking about the ground in those same type places, kneeling
when she thinks she finds some* it is nothing.....really..I do not mind helping
since you have helped me so much.....and if I can, I would be honored to help
start perhaps a small garden if you wanted.....the children would be more than
happy to help as well...they helped me tend small ones before
Eddie: ((*services the roller* heh,
Troy--so he's an Abomination? *grins and sharpens the silver stake....*))
Joshua Coil: ((*L* Like he needed to be
more crazy.))
Natasha Carter(pb2): *she hears eddie,
kneeling already thankfully, and even though she covers her ears, still winces,
shaking her head with a quiet smile, picking a bit of hte leaf off hte plant she
finds ot sniff at it and taste it*
Eddie: *chuckles softly to Natasha*
well--we've tried to plant some things. and start a compost heap. mostly veggies
and flowers, but you prolly know that well enough. you want to start an herb
garden, do so and tell me how i can help you best. ~please~! *grins ruefully*
Joshua Coil:
d10: per+alert: 3,8,4,5,6,
Eddie: *and follows the whistle with a
vigourous wave toward each of the gentlemen*
Joshua Coil: *Ohh... there's Eddie. He
raises a hand. And Natasha with her. He doesn't note Troy, yet, without some
careful scrutiny of the area.*
Eddie: hey, Josh! hey, Troy! fancy meeting
you guys here. *cocks her head at Natasha* is that what you're looking for?
*peers at the plants with interest. green things. they seem to be alive. she can
tell that much.*
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]:
d10: Per+Alert: 7,2,5,5,8,
Natasha Carter(pb2): yes....or close
enough..it is a mint either way..I do not know hte specifics of
which.....perhaps that is something I can improve on is my knowledge of
herbs......here...smell..*holding it up to eddie, teh snippet of leaf* rub the
leaf in your hand after crushing it a bit, the crushing releases the oils and
the heat from the rubbing seems to make them smell stronger....
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He looks up at the
whistle, and a breif smile hits his face upon seeing his packmates. He gives a
slight nod and makes his way toward them. "Good evening, everyone. How are we
tonight?"
Eddie: urm? *takes the herb and sniffs it
curiously. then rubs it gently between her palms and sniffs again. grins* hey!
it does smell minty. dunno what kinda mint, though. not peppermint or spearamint.
um, although maybe the gums flavored like that smell different than the real
plants, ya know?
Joshua Coil: *He raises his chin when he
sees Troy, and he does not lower it.*
Natasha Carter(pb2): *looking towards troy
and josh with a nod to both, she looks back to troy as he approaches and speaks
softly as she undoes her leather satchel to bring out a baggie* fine,
troy....evening....
Eddie: *chuckles softly to Troy* we're
pretty good. Miette is not. my darling garbage disposal of a child. *grins
wryly* how're you? *tilts her head at Josh cheerfully* Josh--we already got a
couple of tomatoe blossoms and some squash blossoms. i hope you like those
veggies...*grins* ditto you and Marie, Troy. heh.
Eddie -> Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: ((mmrr, and
oh Magely Magnifico--please remind me, when you've time, to tell you what kinda
stuff Cori came up with for Tony?))
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He purses his lips
at mention of Miette not being well...from the man, it's quite the show of
concern. "I am well. I have been dealing with work and with Miss Delacourt. I
hope Miette will be...all right?" Almost something vaguely paternal there,
though it's faint and more general. Troy, paternal instincts...who knew he could
have them?
Joshua Coil: *He smiles.* I like Miette,
*he mutters.* She always ate too much.
Eddie: *a soft, gentle chuckle* she'll be
fine. she just found one of my stashes of Easter candy--i hid most of it so i
could deal it out in reasonable doses. and she ate way, way too much. went
straight from feeding her face into hyper belly-ache. Natasha recommends trying
an herbal remedy to soothe her, poor baby.
Natasha Carter(pb2): she has
been..bringing michelle out of her shell more, I have noticed......she actually
offered to give her corn dollie to miette when she found out she wasnt feeling
well
Eddie: *nods to Josh* true, she eats
anything and everything as often as she can. sometimes i wonder if she has
tapeworms or something. but this time, she ate over two pounds of candy. that's
a bit much even for her! *laughs softly* and she likes you, too, "Unca Doss".
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4): She comes
walking out from the direction of the Sept. The brunette is dressed impecably in
a designer brand dark blue pant suit and matching designer shoes. Her fine
breeding is quite obvious too in how she moves.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He nods at that,
trust in Eddie's skill to handle the children implicit. "Excellent."
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4): ((Lazy
description. Pic is in NPC gallery...which reminds me.....))
Eddie: *blinks at Natasha* she has?
Michelle did? awesome! *beams widely* so that's why she had it clutched in her
hand tonight. didn't think anything would pry that lil dolly away from your
girl.
Natasha Carter(pb2): *murmuring as she
nods and gathers the herb up, not too much though* shes had it since she was
born.....it was made by her 'uncle walks'....
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
Her path is headed toward the group. Curiosity
getting the best of her, she moves in closer to see who might be out.
Eddie: *nods to Troy* thanks. i try. we
all do. *a sudden grin* pity poor Liam--he volunteered to watch her and the
others while we went out for medicines....*nods to Natasha* he does good work.
that's a cute lil thing.
Eddie: *notes the newcomer and nods
politely, with a grin*
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]:
d10: Per+Alert: 7,8,5,3,9,
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He looks over to
Cordelia, appraising her for just a moment, before giving her a polite smile and
a nod. "Good evening."
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
"Good evening," she greets, prime and proper and
with a distinctive British accent.
Eddie: hi. *smiles* awesome night, isn't
it? *she does, of course. wait for her Alpha to make the first introduction sort
of thing*
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
"Oh very much so, Miss."
Natasha Carter(pb2): *looking up hearing
the greetings given and the accent, brushing back strands of black hair from the
ruddy dusky skinned cheeks...fingertips starting to stain a yellowgreeny color
almost*
Eddie: *a subtle step closer to Natasha,
as if offering support without forcing it on her packmate*
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He turns his
attention fully to Cordelia, offering her a slight bow. A show of respect,
sincere but not ingratiating. "Allow me to introduce myself, Miss. Troy
Lawrence. These are my associates...Eddie Sturk, Natasha Carter, and Joshua
Coil. An honor to make your acquaintance." No way to be sure, but he's got a
good idea where her blood comes from.
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
She smiles a bit more at the introduction. "Aaaah.
Mr. Lawrence. I have heard my brother speak your name. I am Cordelia Katherine
Brooke."
Eddie: *grins cheerfully* eh, legally it's
MacKenzie now. but professionally i'd still go by Sturk if i were currently
working. *pats her belly* takign a bit of a break from that for a bit.
Joshua Coil: *He keeps his head raised to
the woman, and has not touched his coffee since Troy arrived.*
Natasha Carter(pb2): *she seems to ease a
bit, not that bad off thankfully, rising once she has enough herbs in the baggie
and sealing it, stuffing it back in the satchel, nodding to the woman when her
name is mentioned by troy*
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He nods, satisfied
that his guess was correct. "Miss Brooke. Good to finally meet you." At Eddie's
correction, he flushes. Someone appears to have had a bit of a mental slip. "My
apologies. Eddie MacKenzie."
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
She smiles to the others just as friendly and
politely. "It is a pleasure to meet you as well, Mrs. MacKenzie, Miss Carter,
and Mr. Coil."
Eddie: nice to meet you. *grins cheerfully
at Cordelia, then chuckles to Troy* eh, you've known me a lot longer as Sturk
rather than MacKenzie.
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
"And it is good to finally but a face to the name,
Mr. Lawrence. I hope your fiancee Miss Delacourt is doing well too."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "That I have," he
says with a brief smile to Eddie. Grateful for the woman brushing aside the
faux pas
Eddie: *smiles cheerfully. absolutely
no trace of insult*
Mercury: He plods along the path,
eventually coming upon the group he seeks. "YO!"
Eddie: *jumps slightly and squeaks.
looking over her shoulder then* heya, Mercky. 'sup?
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
She winces. "What the ...." almost snarling at the
outburst.
Natasha Carter(pb2): *looking up when she
hears the familiar 'yo', she actually smiles a bit mercurys direction*
Mercury: He gives the group a wolfish
grin, including the snarling Cordelia in it, and gives first Natasha, then Eddie
a big bear hug. Troy and Joshua are spared the hug.
Eddie: *hugs Merc back, chuckling softly*
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He looks over to
Mercury, nodding calmly to the man before sending an apologetic look Cordelia's
way. "This would be the final member of our group. Mercury Bloodmoon."
Joshua Coil: *He nods to Mercury. It is
clear the hug would have gotten him a ripped out spine. Or maybe it's not clear.
Either way... he doesn't do hugs.*
Mercury: Nods to Cordelia. "Yo, 'sup?"
Eddie: "How's Miette? Natasha called me earlier."
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
She nods. "Well, I think I will be on my way,"
obvious of her distaste of him. "Maybe sometime we can talk, Mr. Lawrence."
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
(him=Mercury)
Eddie: *winces slightly* she was still all
whimpery and sniffling when we left for meds. saddest thing is i'm pretty sure
she'd do the same thing again if she gets the chance. once she feels better.
*shakes her head ruefully* Natasha may decide to plant some herbs at the house
so we'll have some stuff when we need it.
Natasha Carter(pb2): *she warmly returns
the hug to the big lug, murmuring something to him quickly followed by a
reeeally rare peck on the cheek, then back to fingers fidgeting on the choker
about her neck*
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "I hope so, Miss
Brooke." He nods to her, smiling warmly, eyes understanding. "Have a good
evening."
Joshua Coil: *He watches Cordelia for a
moment, but he says nothing again. Simply listening.*
Mercury: Smiles and nods to Natasha. "No
prob, sis." Quirks an unimpressed brow at Cordelia, with a faint smirk.
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
"Thank you. And the same with you, Mr. Lawrence."
she continues on her way to the nearest exit out of the park.
Eddie: *smiles warmly to Cordelia* really
nice to meet you, miss. be safe, ai'ight?
Natasha Carter(pb2): *she nods ot merc,
and just 'watches' cordelia, unblinking, after her reaction to mercury*
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
She stops hearing Eddie. "Nice meeting you, Mrs.
MacKenzie. And I hope everything goes well with the rest of your pregnancy too."
Mercury: Shakes his head. "Not everyone
falls to my charms. Oh well." And shrugs it off.
Eddie: *bobs her head, almost shyly. a
slim golden hand resting automatically over her belly* thanks, miss. *beams*
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
"I'm sure my brother doesn't care much for it
either."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He nods a little bit
to Mercury, the only acknowledgment of his words while Cordelia is still around.
Joshua Coil: *He simply watches Cordelia.*
Eddie: *reaches up calmly to pinch Merc's
cheek gently, giving it a soft version of the "annoying auntie" shake* aw, she
just hasn't had enough time to soak up your unique character. *grins*
Mercury: Cordelia: He shrugs. "Considering
you didn't have the decency to introduce yourself, I've no idea who your brother
is. But first impressions will be first impressions," he says quietly, intently,
"And I wish you well."
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
"You're welcome," she finishes to Eddie. Oh yes,
definitely a Silver Fang through and through as she gives a dismissive gesture
to Mercury and continues to head out.
Natasha Carter(pb2): *she leans her head
down, lips almost twitching at mercs remark back....almost*
Eddie: *tries not to roll her eyes
slightly*
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "That would be
Cordelia Brooke, Mercury," he murmurs, watching the woman leave. "Gavin Brooke's
sister."
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
((dlp her leaving.)) "Perhaps if you would have
listened to Mr Lawrence more instead of being an airhead you would have heard a
partial introduction. Besides what manners just screaming, 'YO' when it's
obvious there was a conversation going on. I hardly need to be reminded of my
manners."
Joshua Coil: *His jaw tightens visibly, as
he looks back to Mercury.* Hence the attitude.
Joshua Coil: ((Then DLP.))
Mercury: Troy: "Oh, yeah?" He nods.
"Figured it would be something like that." He looks to Cordelia with a grin,
seeming to enjoy pushing her buttons. "Your brother's pretty cool. And if he's
bothered by me, or my attitude, or my manners, he is *gentleman* enough not to
let it show," he says bluntly.
Natasha Carter(pb2): *taking a deep
breath, then letting it out slowly*
Eddie: *rubs her forehead and murmurs,
very VERY softly* oy.......*and then jumps again as her back pocket begins to
play "my bonnie blue-eyed boy"* yiiiip! gar,t hought i'd put it on shake'n'bake.....*blinks
apologetically* scuse me, please....
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Mercury"
So subtle a stress in his voice, on the word. Hard to notice, perhaps...but a
definite tone of command in there.
Mercury: Jumps slightly, blinking at
Eddie. "Oi." Chuckles.
Natasha Carter(pb2): *she slips a hand to
mercs shoulder, gently squeezing*
Mercury: A quiet sigh as Troy spoils his
fun.
Eddie: *steps back a few paces to answer
the phone. a few moments conversation, quietly, and she hangs up* urm. guys, my
apologies. Miette's trying to squall and puke at the same time. not such a good
idea, so Liam says maybe we should give her a cool bath to lower her temp. which
he can't do, cuz she gets freaked at the thought of water, no clothes, and a man
around. even Liam.
Eddie: *sighs* so, i gotta go. *pretty
forehead crinkled worriedly, blinking distractedly toward Troy.*
Mercury: He nods to Eddie. "Do what you
need to do, hon," he says gently. "You need me for anything?"
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He looks over at
Eddie and nods slightly. His decorum is firmly in place, as he smiles to her.
"Of course, Eddie. Do say hello to Liam and the children for me. And have a good
evening."
Natasha Carter(pb2): I will come with you,
eddie...*nodding to her and murmuring softly* we have more than enough
Joshua Coil: *He looks back over to Eddie.
He frowns.* I ... need to come see the kids.
Eddie: *nods to Troy and touches his shoulder gently* i will. *grins up to Merc* i expect she'll still feel off tomorrow. come by and either distract her or cut up with the others so they won't be as worried about her? *pats his chest. and grins to Josh* be cool, you. mph, and i got a half pound of coffee beans at the house if you want 'em. no grinder, so i can't use 'em. you guys take care, ok? *tilts her head to Tasha* Natasha, you coming with or hanging here a bit more? *she's eager to go. but polite*
Mercury: Eddie: "No worries, I'll be
by. Maybe bring her a little stuffed animal or something to make her feel
better." He looks to Cordelia, a softer grin. "Well, Ms. Cordelia, I couldn't
help but respond as I did, but you do have my apologies. I like to see a woman
with some fire to her as you obviously have, and if you're Gavin's sister, then
you're probably just as cool as he is." He shrugs. "I'm just rough around the
edges, please try not to take offense at it. That was what I got a little ticked
at and why I came on as I did."
Eddie: ((D bit about Natasha, please?))
*nods to Tasha with a relieved smile* ok. thank you. *nods to Josh* yes, you
should. can come with too, if you want. ya'll all know my house's always open to
any of you. *a chuckle* except my bedroom. no invading my den. *as if they'd
want to.......rabbits, she and Liam. must be bunny in their ancestries
somewhere....*
Joshua Coil: *He smiles faintly.* Tell
Miette I will be over soon. *Ahh yes, that horrid voice.*
Eddie: *nods to Josh with a warm, soft
smile* will do. she'll look forward to seeing her "Unca Doss". night, folks. be
stay and dun get caught! *and heads out, pausing JUST long enough for Natasha to
keep up with her.*
Natasha Carter(pb2): *nodding to eddie,
she reshoulders her satchel, gives a light hug to mercury, then nods to troy,
murmuring a soft evening, the same for josh, ready to go when eddie is*
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
Oh she does give a satisfied smile at the apology
given. "Apology graciously accepted, Mr. Bloodmoon."
Eddie: ((*hugs* thanks gang! *BG* we
should, like, do this more often! *smooches and glitter all around! and hastily
toddles before someone breaks out the lint brush on the bluekit*))
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
((Night hon *hugs tight* Sleep well!))
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He smiles, a bit of
tension leaving his back, and nods to Mercury, then to Cordelia. Eddie and
Natasha get parting nods.
Mercury: He smiles warmly at Cordelia.
"Please give my best to your brother. I really meant it as a compliment when I
said he's cool. Have a nice night, Miss, walk safely."
Mercury: He hugs Natasha back as she
leaves.
Mercury: Troy: Sighs. "Now I'm going to
have to find someone else to bother."
Joshua Coil: *He looks back to Mercury.
And then back to Cordelia.*
Cordelia Katherine Brooke (pb 4):
"Thank you. I will give him your regards," to
Mercury, then "Again, good night, Mr. Lawrence," and she finally leaves.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: Mercury gets a wry
sort of smile. "I'm sure you can find someone."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Good night, Miss
Brooke."
Mercury: "Yeah, I have a knack." Runs a
hand through his hair. After she leaves, "Sorry, I get carried away when I'm
having fun."
Joshua Coil: *He looks back to Mercury,
but again, says nothing. He looks back to his cold coffee, and finishes it off.*
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "It's quite all
right, Mercury," he says to the man. "No permanent damage done. How do things go
for you?"
Mercury: "Quiet," he admits. "I've had
some peace and pleasantness. Up for chaos and mayhem anytime now."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He nods. "Hopefully,
Miss Chambers will return from school safe and sound soon, and we can begin to
press matters there. I plan to speak to Mr. Craven about the issue soon."
Mercury: He glances at Joshua a moment, a
faintly grim expression, but he says nothing. He returns his focus to Troy.
"That would be good. Point me in any direction, give me orders, I'm good to go."
Joshua Coil: *He smiles faintly,
looking down at his feet.* I'm... looking forward to hunting, sir.
Mercury: He nods in agreement with Joshua.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "As am I." He nods a
bit. "It has been far too long...since Espesito, actually."
Joshua Coil: *He raises his head, and
looks over to Troy.*
Mercury: A low growl. "I wish I could have
been there for the take down."
Joshua Coil: *He looks back to Mercury.*
It was business.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He looks at Joshua a
moment, and then back over to Mercury, nodding. "There are many more hunts ahead
of us, Mercury. Far more glorious then cleaning after the sins of our own."
Mercury: "I know. But Sadie was a friend."
He sighs, wondering where she took off to.
Joshua Coil: *He looks back to Mercury
again.* Mmh? She was... disrespectful.
Mercury: Joshua: He grins. "Hard to be
disrespectful to me. I'm loud mouthed, vulgar, obnoxious, and low man on the
totem pole. I thought Sadie was da bomb."
Joshua Coil: Sadie whored herself out to
the Wyrm, *he murmurs.* But she was still kin.
Mercury: "She had some rough breaks, but
she was a survivor."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "She was
misunderstood," he says calmly. "Paranoid, and rightfully so, after what
Espesito and others did to her, and what she believed may be the case. She acted
inappropriately at times, but not so much considering what she was led to
believe." And he seems content to leave it at that. He knows that the woman is a
touchy issue among many.
Joshua Coil: Rough breaks? *He scowls
deeper.* She allowed herself to be used for the creation of Wyrm creatures. If I
were in her place I would have ended myself.
Mercury: He silences after what Troy says,
not responding to Joshua. He *likes* Josh and doesn't feel like getting into a
fistfight with him. Well, not much anyway.
Joshua Coil: *He too presses his lips
together, and lowers his head.* Sorry, Sir.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: A nod of
acknowledgment at Joshua's apology. "Understood. We focus not on the past. We
focus on the future. And the hunt to be."
Mercury: And Troy effectively silences his
pack's two hotheads. "I should probably head home, before Rei panics. I'll be in
touch. If you're heading to Eddie's tomorrow, Joshua, I'll probably see you
there, too. Goodnight, Troy."
Joshua Coil: Good night, *he says
quietly.*
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Good night, Mercury.
See hello to Rei for me."
Mercury: "I will." And off he heads.
((Thanks for the scene! Sorry I got here later than everyone else. *L*))
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: ((S'all good!
*hugs*))
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He looks after
Mercury, watching him leave, and chuckles a little bit to himself. His head
shakes, and he sighs, looking back to Joshua, bemused over something.
Joshua Coil: *He keeps his head lowered,
and he holds tightly to the newspaper.*
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: (open?)
Joshua Coil: ((aye!))
Joshua Coil: I apologize, Sir, *he says
quietly.* I should learn to control my temper.
Joshua Coil: ((Orrrrr... everyone went bye
bye.))
Troy Lawrence: "Your temper is one of your
strengths, Joshua," he says with a shrug. "I would not have you suppress it with
things you think are right."
Joshua Coil: It is also... one of my
weaknesses, sir, *he says calmly.*
Troy Lawrence: "Indeed," he says with a
nod. "Our greatest strengths usually are, correspondingly, our greatest
weaknesses."
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Andy comes skateboarding
down the path, crudely singing White Stripes under his breath in a terribly
offkey tone. "I was watchin.. with one eye on the other side.. I had fifteen
people tellin me ta move.. I got movin on my mind.." His grimy hands are shoved
deep in his pockets. Greasy black bangs cover his expression.
Joshua Coil: *He looks up.* I have been...
*He pauses.* Staying here a lot, Sir, to try and learn as much as I may.
Troy Lawrence: He smiles a bit. "That is
good. We never stop learning. I know New York has been a home to you longer then
me...but, if you will forgive my saying so...it has always seemed as if this
place has been something less of a home to you. You've always seemed
more...isolated. I say this not as a rebuke or insult...simply an observation.
It is the same with me. I think we both could use some time here, learning what
we can."
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Andy flicks a bit of dark
hair out of his eyes as not to plow into anyone. He idly flips up to grind the
front of a bench. Enjoying his nighttime stroll. Still singing with that
terrible voice of his. "I found shelter.. in some thoughts turnin wheels
around.."
Joshua Coil: *He frowns slightly, but more
thoughtfull and less disapproving.* I am sorry, sir. When I came here it was not
of my own choice. I am trying to understand this wing of City.
Troy Lawrence: He looks up at Andy,
observing him for a moment, before nodding. "No apology is needed, Joshua. We
are in the same boat as they say, you and I. We will progress together."
Joshua Coil: *he raises his head, too,
squinting in the dark.*
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Hey, people looking at
him. The streetrat makes a slow roll in that directionm trying to be as
non-invasive as possible. Never can tell how these creepy park kids are going to
take interaction. Best to be on the looking. He calls from a few yards away.
"Hey.. either of you see a cute ass blonde skating around tonight?"
Troy Lawrence: "A blonde?" He raises his
eyebrow, and looks over to Joshua, apparently not having seen said cute ass.
Joshua Coil: I... *He frowns. Now, on one
hand, he says yes, and Reyna appears from nowhere asking why he was staring at
someone else's ass. On the OTHER hand... he may have NOTICED this person, in
which case he'll be helping. One can smell the smoke coming from his head.* I
don't know. *Ahh yes, quick thinking. Both parties satisfied.*
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: Andy nods, brushing off
Joshua's answer. Maybe he was mentally handicapped.. that can't be helped. Poor
guy. He looks to Troy, rolling closer. "Yeah. Kinda tom-boyish bumpkin type.
Name's Kelsey. Look.. I suck at people.. so if I'm stepping on any toes.. feel
free to tell me to fuck off."
Troy Lawrence:
d10: Per+Garou Lore: 8,3,10,10,9,
Troy Lawrence: He tilts his head,
considering, and shakes it. "No...I do not believe I know this Kelsey...my
apologies." He nods to the skater in way of greeting. "Troy Lawrence."
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He gives a confused
look at the introduction. Weren't new yorkers supposted to.. not.. be friendly.
"Uhh.. good for you." He says quietly, rolling backward. "Well, uhh.. thanks,
anyway.. I guess."
Joshua Coil: I'll keep my eyes open for a
blonde with a nice ass, *he says sincerely. So stoic.*
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *Off a little ways, coming
from one of the entrances, a cute ass blonde skates her way into the park. She
looks around while she skates, perhaps looking for someone in particular.*
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He nods to Joshua with an
amused look. "You do that, bro."
Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((*pokes the dice roller a
few times* Why's this thing keep eating my rolls?))
Kelsey Horn (PB3):
d10: per alert: 10,7,8,5,6,
Troy Lawrence: He quirks a brow in faint
amusement at Andy's brush-off. Remaining silent, though, before he looks to
Joshua. "I believe I will take my leave, Joshua. Good evening."
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She grins as she sees
Andy pushing the board a bit faster, a backpack over her shoulder looking rather
full for once. Even the times he's seen her pack before it's always been lightly
packed. She doesn't bother to try to ninja up on him. She just skates on over.*
Joshua Coil: Though it won't narrow it
down much, *he mutters, his voice horridly unpleasant.*
Joshua Coil: *He looks up at Troy.* Of
course, sir. I am almost done my watch here. You have a good night, sir.
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He smirks at the sound of
trucks hitting the path. "Ohh.. Yeah.. narrowing it down'll be a breeze. Hey
Kels." He waves to the girl.
Kelsey Horn (PB3): ((*L* She's not THAT bad!
:P:P:P:P:P))
Troy Lawrence: He looks over at Kelsey,
regarding her for just a moment and offering a nod, before he makes his way
toward the exit. ((*Hugs* Thanks for the scene, guys!))
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She waves back
stopping when she gets next to Andy.* Hey there! Didja miss me? *She grins.* ((I
don't think she'd recognize Josh currently, correct? *L*))
Kelsey Horn (PB3): *She nods at Troy as he
heads off.*
Andy Gallo [PB 2]: He shrugs with a crooked
grin to Kelsey "I dunno.. maybe."
