Joshua Coil: *He sits down on a bench,
coffee in hand. He huffs slightly.*
Hauser (PB 3):
Hauser is out tonight, walking around the Park though tonight he's dressed in
full Nazi military dress complete with medals, arm band, and hat. He continues
to walk along the park just taking his sweet time in his walking until he spots
Joshua, then turns to head towards the other man.
Joshua Coil: *He sips at his latte, and
then looks up. He stands, slowly, perhaps a bit groggily. He does not look happy
either way.*
Hauser (PB 3):
"Well lookie who is here." he says to Joshua as he comes up to him. "I didn't
expect to see you here."
Joshua Coil: It's a public park, *he says,
his voice grating, painful.* It's why they still allow psychotic fanatics here.
Hauser (PB 3): "I
thought you said you'd not come here anymore?" he asks with a tilt of his head
while drawing in a bit closer to him.
Joshua Coil: *He cants his head slightly.
But he does not back up.* My fiancee told me to go ahead and come here, despite
my own desires to stay at her side.
Hauser (PB 3):
"Very wise of her. We can always use strong warriors." he says with a smile
while offering hs hand to Joshua.
Joshua Coil: *He looks down at that hand,
and then back up to Hauser.* Our beliefs do not coincide, sir, *he says, quite
politely, though his voice seems strained.*
Hauser (PB 3): He
shrugs some, "So what are we going to do about the attack of your wife?" he asks
while putting his hand behind his own back.
Joshua Coil: She is not my wife yet, sir,
but soon, *he corrects. He looks back up to Hauser.* What are you looking at
doing?
Hauser (PB 3):
"Having a long and very personal talk to her." he says with a little grin. "And
why in the hell would you be going after someone like her? Isn't there enough of
your own kind around?"
Joshua Coil: Because I love her, *he says
calmly. He clears his throat.* Why else would you... go after someone?
Hauser (PB 3): "Thats
a bad reason, you don't even know where she's been." and he just makes a face
about that. "Anyone ever tell you about the birds and the butterflies?"
Joshua Coil: *He sighs, and scratches
behind one ear.* I know exactly where she's been, sir. At least, for the past
year. Love is as good a reason as any. Another reason we disagree, sir.
Hauser (PB 3):
"And what about making new warriors? Or are you going to take a good girl for a
mistress on the side? You are you sly dog you." and just grins more while
watching him.
Joshua Coil: I am loyal to my woman, *he
says with a faint growl.* And I know better than to assume that I have anything
to pass on.
Hauser (PB 3):
"Even your watered down kind still has more then she does." he says with a
chuckle. "And you can't get more mutt like then Reyna's kind."
Joshua Coil: *He watches Hauser.* She is
different. That does not make her less.
Hauser (PB 3):
"Her heritage makes her less." he says like thats
the most obvious thing. He does look around though for a moment.
Joshua Coil: And once again we disagree,
sir. We move towards the same cause. *A rumbled growl starts in his throat.*
Hauser (PB 3): "Idot,
I'll tell your girl the same thing I told that bird brain. Stay away from our
blood, cross species mating is for complete fucking children." and he leans in
closer as he says this, his voice almost a growl too now. "You want kids, you
better find your own kind or the Sin will be on your head."
Joshua Coil: *He looks back up to Hauser.
And his voice lowers.* And I'll be sure to let everyone know you said that, so
when you cold-bloodedly murder and stain the Lady again, usurping our position,
we will have a reason to push you out.
Hauser (PB 3):
"When did Gaia say that wolves were to lay with birds and mongrels?" he says to
Joshua, "Love be damned."
Caroline McGregor: (room for another?)
Caroline McGregor: (room for another?)
Joshua Coil: Gaia said nothing against it,
save not to mate with our own kind. I know the rules.
Hauser (PB 3):
"And she didn't say do it either, its common sense. They may not be our brothers
and sisters but they are still our cousins and nieces."
Joshua Coil: *He shakes his head.* If it
was disapproved of, I would have my OWN Elders speaking to me. Not a fanatic of
a religion that I do not follow.
Joshua Coil: ((I... think so?))
Hauser (PB 3):
(don't matter to me.)
Hauser (PB 3):
"Oh, oaky then I'll go talk to your elder about it." he says with a smile.
"Thanks for letting me know they've been lax in their supervision of their
wayword children."
Caroline McGregor: (excellent smithers.) *She's come
with a big Box O' Joe and sandwiches for those who have decided to stand watch
during the long Halloween evening. She's wearing a thicker jacket and sturdy
boots with a hat and gloves for it's a rather chilly night tonight.*
Joshua Coil: Just because you and yours
are obsessive morons who have little to no disregard of the sanctity of this
world, does not mean we all do. *He bristles, and growls flat-out now.*
Hauser (PB 3):
Hauser chuckles some at the man, "Tricky bitch to get you to love her. You know,
I'm betting your elder is just betting on her getting tired of you and moving on
to solve the problem."
Joshua Coil: *His jaw tightens at
that.* She loves me as well. Perhaps to hers I am a tricky bastard for getting
her to love me, and I am planning on getting tired of her and moving on.
Caroline McGregor: *It's the postures more than
anything else that identifies them; or Joshua, more precisely. She hasn't
actually met Hauser yet. She continues foreward, watching the two, close enough
now where she can hear the hostility, if not the exact words.*
Hauser (PB 3): "I
don't think you are the trickey one." he says with a nod.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: ((Mind one more?))
Joshua Coil: And I don't think your
opinion is right in any way. Your intentions, and your actions, do not work at
all for City. You have stained her. You think you are doing what is just. It is
nothing but murder.
Hauser (PB 3):
((don't care)
Hauser (PB 3):
"And where does all thise experience come from? You obviously know what is best
for everyone. So why not tell us how you would solve the problems this place is
facing?"
Caroline McGregor: *She'd slowed down her stride as
the words become clearer and she continues foreward, stopping beside Joshua, not
so subtly declaring her support.* Gentlemen...
Joshua Coil: You have attracted the
attention of mortal police. I know at the very least that whatever I planned,
would not include that. *His eyes widen, and his fists start to clench tightly.*
YOU clearly know what is best for everyone else, but have not worked in a City
before. What works for the Wyld... does not work here.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He walks along the
paths, in his more practical outfit. The man had pledged to aid the Guardians
this night...just in case. A black turtleneck with a brown leather jacket over
it and khaki pants makes up his outfit. Hands at his sides, he looks around as
he moves, alert. And the blonde hair, as always, is perfectly in place.
Hauser (PB 3):
"Who says we've never worked in the city before?"
he asks with a little chuckle. "People die in the city all the time. Sometimes,
even without getting juctice or a fair trial." Hauser says before looking over
to Caroline. "Why hello there, you know someone actually thought we might have
gotten mated?"
Caroline McGregor: *She blinks and a ruddy eyebrow
goes up.* Pardon? Mated? Whom? *She pauses, though she can guess what he means.*
I brought sandwiches and coffee. It looks to be a long, cold night.
Joshua Coil: *He looks back to Carrie. And
then back to Hauser.* She is cruel. She has a right to be. You do not.
Hauser (PB 3):
"Nature is cruel, and we are nature." he says over to Joshua before looking back
to Caroline. "Yeah, like hitched up you know." and he grins. "But I cleared that
one up."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]:
d10: Per+Alertness: 6,6,6,4,2,
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He looks up as he
hears voices, a slight raise to his brow coming when he notes the trio. He gives
a glance around and approaches, nodding to all three. "Good evening."
Joshua Coil: *His fists tighten, and he
cracks his knuckles with the movement. He narrows his eyes at Hauser. Breathing
slowly. Control...*
Caroline McGregor: I wouldn't have expected
otherwise. *She's frosty to Hauser, and not concealing it very well, if she's
trying at all.*
Joshua Coil: *He looks back to Troy at
that. And his head lowers.* Sir.
Hauser (PB 3):
Hauser nods to Troy, "Well hello there. I understand congradulaitons are in
order regarding your recent challenge."
Caroline McGregor: Good evening. *She nods a
greeting to Troy.*
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Joshua." He nods to
the man when he lowers his head, and looks to Hauser. Unlike Joshua and
Caroline, he regards the man quite calmly...as calm as any Fullblood may get,
anyway. A faint, courteous smile hits his face. "Thank you. I know I will prove
myself capable of the test. How are you?"
Joshua Coil: *He breathes slowly, and nods
to Troy.* Sir. I believe I will retire. I am about to lose my temper.
Hauser (PB 3):
Hauser grins over to Joshua, "Good idea." and then
looks over to Troy again. "Oh, doing very well."
Caroline McGregor: Joshua, you want a sandwich and
some coffee to take with you? *she offers, noting the anger emminating from him.
Seh sees the wisdom in him wanting to leave before something happens.*
Joshua Coil: *He narrows his eyes back at
Hauser. And then back to Carrie. He shakes his head quickly, and starts to walk
off.*
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He nods to Joshua,
apparently needing no explanation. "Of course. Have an excellent evening. I'll
talk to you soon." He looks over at Caroline finally, acknowledging the
greeting, and then looks back to Hauser. "Excellent. And your pack is doing
well, too?"
Hauser (PB 3):
"Well enough, the local punks are learning to stay away from our territory
finally." he says with a grin. "So the cause continues. I think we might even
have a lead now on the Hunters." he says the last part of course with a lowered
voice.
Caroline McGregor: *She listens to them converse,
and while he seems so...logical and pleasant she just can't make herself like
him so she remains quiet, filing away what he and Troy say.*
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Oh?" He quirks a
blond eyebrow. "That is good news indeed. Anything you may care to share?"
Hauser (PB 3):
"No, we'd hate to see someone else screw it up for us before we get our man."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He gives a faint
chuckle to that. "And you are certain that it would be screwed up, then."
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
She's out patrolling actually, dressed in a
conservatory uniform, including a regulation sidearm. It is a little tight on
her, especially up top, but maybe she was just borrowing it for the night too.
Strapped to her back she also has an ironwood pole, maybe not quite so
regulation. There is even a radio that she wears, the sound turned down but a
earplug in one ear, that's mostly hidden by her long dark hair that falls to her
waist. Hearing voices, she heads toward the sounds.
Hauser (PB 3):
"With people around her? Oh ya, its best to just be careful."
Caroline McGregor: *she cocks an eyebrow.* So it's a
woman then?
Hauser (PB 3): "I
mean here." he corrects, "Caroline is just making me tingle all over and he
winks over to the woman.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "We are not all the
incompetents you believe us to be," he says, glancing over in Jesse's direction
a moment before he looks back to Hauser. "However, if that is your pack's
decision, I leave it in your hands. I'm sure more then one road lead to that
particular Rome."
Caroline McGregor: *She rolls her eyes a little at
that.* I'm sure there are places you can go to take care of that.
Hauser (PB 3):
Hauser grins to Caroline and then looks over to
Troy, "Well, you seem well enough but you're also a DA right?"
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
She moves up slowly to the group, giving them all
a polite nod, but not interrupting the conversation.
Caroline McGregor: *She smiles to Jesse and then
picks up the Box O' Joe and hte sandwiches.* I'll leave these deeper inside
incase anyone wants them. It's time for me to head home.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "I am, yes." He looks
over at Jesse, returning the nod, then looks back to Hauser. "I fail to see the
connection. You think that I would stop you from doing something in favor of
capturing your prey?"
Hauser (PB 3):
"Never know, especially if it is in a public place." he says to Troy and then
looks to Jesse. "Hi there hot stuff, here to arrest me?" and he offers his wrist
to her. "You can frisk me if you want."
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
She laughs and grabs her cuffs, all in one smooth
motion as she flips them out. "If that's what you're looking for. I can find you
a nice padded cell."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He looks to Caroline
and nods. "Miss McGregor. Good evening, and a safe walk home."
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
"Good night, Caroline," she says to the other
woman.
Hauser (PB 3):
"Is the padded cell in your bedroom?" he asks to Jesse.
Caroline McGregor: Good night, Troy, Jesse, Hauser.
*A slight hesitation on the last name. One needs to be polite after all and
remain civil.*
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): ((Room for
another?))
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He raises an eyebrow
at Caroline's common use of his name, and frowns slightly before looking away,
to Hauser and Jesse. ((Open as far as I'm concerned))
Caroline McGregor: *And with that she's on her way
out.* (night all, my bed is calling my name)
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
She starts to laugh. "Oh you wish. Yes...of
course you do. But no. You've been too bad a boy."
Hauser (PB 3):
"Sweet dreams Caroline." he waves to her before looking back to Troy. "Doesn't
it suck when people for get formality?"
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *Wanders along
one of the paths--not quite lost in thought, but probably getting there.*
Hauser (PB 3): He
does glance over to Jesse, "So if I were a good boy?"
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "It does indeed," he
says to Hauser, looking back after Caroline before he looks back. "Quite
disappointing, I would say."
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2):
d10: Per: 6,3,4,
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *Looks around, bored,
and heads in the direction of the small group.*
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]:
d10: Per+Alertness: 8,2,5,6,5,
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: The man is guarding
tonight, after all, and so he takes a moment to look around. His eyes fall on
Mordecai, and he watches the man approach with some interest.
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *Nods to Troy,
seeing as the guy's already looking in his direction, then to Jesse and Hauser.*
Good eve.
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
She moves over to Hauser and snaps the cuffs on
the wrist closer to her. "You were saying?"
Hauser (PB 3):
"Good, though next time I'll put myself in your
tender care."
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
She puts the cuffs back on her uniform, and then
nods to the new arrival. "Didn't mean to interrupt."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Good evening," he
says to Mordecai, nodding to him. The banter between Hauser and Jesse is given a
glance, nothing more, and then he looks back to Mordecai. "You are out late." An
observation, nothing more.
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *Nods.* I come
by every now and then. I work downtown, but I have family out this way.
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *His face. The
left side of his face, in particular. It just draws the eye, and not in a good
way, either. After a good long look at... that... an observer may notice that
otherwise he'd have been fairly good-looking; more or less tall, decent build,
neat and clean clothing. Some may even recognize the dark hair hanging on either
side of his face in the ~peyot~, the traditional hairstyle of the Jewish
warrior--those who actually know there was such a thing. And Garou--Get of
Fenris in particular--may well recognize him as the Kinfolk who killed a man
with his bare hands and another with a sword, somewhere north of Minneapolis.
But his ~face~... The entire left side of it, from the tip of his nose to the
middle of his ear, from his chin to his hairline, is marked by some kind of
acid. Baby-pink skin clashes with ridged scar tissue until it looks like the
plateued and mountainous landscape of some distant planet, or the browned and
wrinkled skin of a rotten apple, or... it's just ~bad~. A black silk eyepatch
covers his left eye, leading one to wonder--if he'll leave the scarred and
ruined contours of his face bare to the world and yet go through the effort and
discomfort to cover his eye, what does ~that~ look like?* (Fame 1)
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Family out this
way...in the Park?" He raises a brow, and looking toward the direction of where,
eventually, one might reach one of the homeless settlements. "Or in the area of
Midtown?"
Hauser (PB 3): He
grins some over to Jesse once more before poping into a salute towards Troy. "Mr
Lawerance Sir, I should continue my rounds of the perimiter."
Hauser (PB 3):
Hauser of course is in full Nazi Officer attire, down to the medals and side arm
and such.
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *shrugs.* In
midtown.
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
"Oh, they could use some help along," and she
names an area as she seems to be listening to her radio. "Good evening Hauser.
I'm sure our paths will cross again before the end of the night."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Of course." He nods
to Hauser. "I'm sure I will see you tonight upon patrol." He loks to Mord and
nods. "I see."
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *Nods, keeping
a healthy distance between himself and the nutcase with the gun.*
Hauser (PB 3): He
then starts to walking off with a wave to the rest of them.
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
She also has a gun on her too actually.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: ((Whereas his is
hidden under his jacket. *G*))
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): ((*G*
Nutcases, then.)) *Nods.* Did I get in the way of a demonstration?
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He raises a pale
eyebrow to that. "A demonstration?"
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
Though being dressed in an official park
(Conservatory) uniform shouldn't make her a look like a nutcase. She too looks
at Mordecai when he asks that. "Say what?"
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *shrugs.* I
can't think of much other reason for a fellow in a nazi uniform to be
patrolling... This ~is~ New York, but that kind of thing is strange even for
here.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Perhaps, because
it is Halloween? And he was making a joke?"
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
"Not so strange on a night like tonight," she
smirks. "It is Halloween."
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *shrugs.* True
enough, I suppose. It's just a choice of costume I've rarely seen. My apologies
if I offended.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "If it is good enough
for the Crown Prince of England, I imagine it is good enough for Hauser."
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *Chuckles.*
One way to consider it, I suppose.
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
She tries not to laugh too openly with what Troy
says.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He shrugs a bit,
deadpanning the comment, and extends his hand to Mordecai first, then Jesse.
"Troy Lawrence, Assistant District Attorney for the District of New York County.
And miss, apologies for not introducing myself earlier. I did not wiush to
interrupt you and Hauser."
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *Nods, shaking
Troy's hand.* Mordecai Goldshtein, Professor of History.
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
"Jesse Jones, former forestry technician and
Peace Corps member, now with the Central Park Conservancy freelancing in the
Soil, Water, & Ecology Lab."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "A pleasure to meet
you both." He nods to them...some recognition in his eyes when Jesse gives her
name. "I have heard some of your rather brave actions in the defense of another,
Miss Jones."
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *Nods,
smiling.* Sounds more impressive than mine, at least. Good to meet you both.
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
She looks down, blushing some. "Thank you....."
and looking quite modest.
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
((looking=sounding modest))
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He nods to
Mordecai, and then to Jesse. "I will admit to not being the biggest supporter of
the man, but his actions and..." He frowns some. "...reputation do nothing to
tarnish the valor of your deed. You do him and your family service by showing
honor above his, and courage where others might fail to."
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
She still tries hard not to blush. "It's okay,"
she finally manages. "It probably doesn't help that he hasn't been himself
lately either, but I did what I could. I'm only sorry that I didn't take out the
sniper."
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): ((Bloody
friggin' computer. Sorry 'bout that, y'all.)) Sniper? Sounds like you've done
quite a bit.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He nods a bit. "The
chance will come again, I would gather." His eyes pass over to Mordecai. "Where
do you teach, Mister Goldshtein?"
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
"My.....ma....ummmmm.....we were doing a patrol
and a sniper shot at him and I just did what I was trained to do," she shrugs a
bit.
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *Nods to
Jesse.* I might have to check the news and see about that.... Troy>>Downtown, at
NYU.
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
She gives a smirk about something but says
nothing.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "Ahh." He nods
slightly. "I imagine it must be a passion of yours. History is not something
that attracts casual hobbyists in terms of instruction."
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *chuckles.*
Sometimes someone gets stuck with it--certainly nobody has a great passion for
the remedial classes--but I'm glad to have the spot.
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
She raises and eyebrow when he says that about
remedial classes. "Then perhaps your calling should be elsewhere, for the
greatest teaches passionately care for everyone who wishes to learn, remedial or
not," she speaks with a bit of passion herself.
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
((teaches=teachers))
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *Smiles.* I
teach pre-russian Eurasian history, Ms. Jones. The 'history of the world'
courses I teach because I'm the rookie professor. Let's just say I'm their least
favorite coach.
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
"Coach? You teach PE too?" she's really not
smiling all that much at the moment.
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *Shakes his
head.* Not at all.
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
"Why did you say coach then. I thought coach was
for sports."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He listens quietly to
the two for the moment.
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): Because it's
the sports-program students that end up in the 'history of the world' courses.
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): ((10-minute
warnin'.))
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
"I thought that was typically that the western
civ and such which was part of core requirements for most students in most
universities that I was aware of."
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *Nods.*
Something like that. Speaking of which, however, I have a few classes in the
morning, so I think I should take my leave.
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He nods a little
bit to Mordecai. "Good evening, then, Mister Goldshtein."
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
"Good evening."
Mordecai Goldshtein (PB 2): *Nods.* Good
night to you both. *And heads on out.* ((Sorry, just got whacked with the
sleep-hammer over here.... G'night, y'all.))
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He watches Mordecai
leave with a little frown, and then looks back to Jesse. "I find myself
wondering about the state of this city more and more every day."
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
"How so exactly, Mr. Lawrence."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: A slight sigh, and he
shakes his head. "I am dedicated toward Unity, Miss Jones. And every day, I see
signs that we're moving further and further away."
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
"I think at least tonight and for the next few
days we've managed to move toward some. Despite how some feel about those like
Hauser and his men, they are helping us. I'd love to know how that came about,
but I'm pleased to know that we have the added backup right now."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "I have no
disagreement on the issue of Hauser. I understand the point, if I have read the
hints in the rumors correctly. As controversial as they are, and as much as I
disagree with the group's specific tactics in a general way, I believe they
serve a purpose. However, many do not understand that."
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
"Many just do not take the time to go to the
source and talk and get answers and would rather take things at face value.
Communications, that is, lack of, is where a lot of the problems come from I
believe."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: He nods a little bit.
"Communication is a definite problem, Miss Jones. One I hope we can correct
soon."
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
Nodding, "I hope so too." Then she goes quiet for
a moment before pushing the mic and talking back into her radio. "I'm on my
way...." then an apologetic look to Troy. "I need to get going to check on
something. It was nice meeting you. Have a good night."
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: "You as well, Miss
Jones." He nods. "I should continue my rounds as well. Good evening."
Jesse Jones (pb 1/feral app):
"Thank you," and with that, she takes off further
into the Sept. ((Thanks for the scene! :) ))
Troy Lawrence [PB 4]: ((Thank you!))
