Mercury: Surly: "I dance several hours a day when I don't have a gig. That, and screwing a lot tends to help flexibility." Now he notices Joshua and grins. "Yo, Joshua. 'Sup." Sniffs the air. "Where'd ya get the coffee?"

Joshua Coil: I could beat you, *he says calmly to Mercury.* Though you do fight well. *A calm, polite assessment. It seems he is in a good mood. He takes another sip of his coffee. It smells gingerbread-y.*

Joshua Coil: Cafe across the street. They've got out their gingerbread lattes. *He smiles a little bit.* T'is the season. *Sip.*

Surly: *smirks to Josh* want to play, too? *keeping herself moving. for one, it is cold. for another, she's not exhausted yet with the working out. never mind it seems to have stalled.*

J.T. Sincaid: *what the...where'd that guy come from. He looks over to Joshua and his disturbing voice* No one important...*he can't help raising an eyebrow as he continues to look upon the man, as if he can't believe such a strange sound came from a person*

Mercury: A strange frowny expression at JOshua's voice; that's new. Surly: He quirks a brow and smirks. "I'm hot. Yup. Hot as hell."

Joshua Coil: *He looks back to Surly.* I'd have to disarm, and I don't have much time. Just got off work, heading to... more work.

Mercury: Joshua: "We should spar some time. Can't believe we haven't yet...gingerbread lattes? Ewgh, sounds horrible, I have to try it."

Mercury: He leans down and picks up his leather jacket, breath steaming in the cold air as he slips it back on, covering the majority of the tats.

Joshua Coil: It's really good, *he insists.* They have these new mocha almond lattes as well, though I'm leery about trying it.

J.T. Sincaid: *he stands a bit awkwardly and runs a hand through his wild hair. These guys can't be Glasswalkers...at least he prays they aren't*

Surly: *shudders at Merc* sex. count me out on that score. dancing, i can do. preferably in the pit. i maintain that your hotness factor can be remedied with cold meds. *makes a face at Josh, seeming to be honestly disappointed* damn. one of these days, we will scrap. i may get my ass kicked, but it'll be a blast. *a laugh. a real one*

Joshua Coil: I was flexible before, *he offers with an arched eyebrow. And again, he looks over to the stranger.* Who's the new guy?

Mercury: "I want an eggnog latte. That'd be cool." He braces against a tree and stretches out a hamstring.

Surly: *smirks* try the Christmas Blend Licorice Chai. lots of cream, no sugar--you won't need it. *abruptly drops and begins pushups* just don't make it too strong.

J.T. Sincaid: I'm J.T. *he says with a nod* Just uh...arrived in the area. I roll with the Glasswalkers. *he just takes a leap and assumes that the others are Garou, if they weren't and they had that kind of angry vibe around them he'd be hamburger already*

Mercury: Joshua: "His name's J.T." He stops stretching and regards J.T. anew. "Says he came to check out this park. Think that means something?"

Joshua Coil: Huh, *he says thoughtfully.* I'm not a big chai fan myself. But coffee... coffee is worth killing for.

Simon Gentle: The immaculately dressed man moves into the park with a sure sense of self confidence that comes from years of success. Or just alot of luck. He's dressed in the finest of suits, with a wool over coat that nearly reaches the ground. His eyes are dark and so is his hair, but his distrubingly handsome features are hardly marred by the almost feral quality in his walk.

Joshua Coil: *His eyes widen slightly, and he looks back to J.T.* Is that so?

Mercury: And he grimaces. "DUDE!" He takes a quick look around, then makes a grab for the guy's shoulder, avoidable if he wants. "Shut UP! This isn't the place."

Surly: keep the coffee. *punctuating her words with pushups* i'll take the tea. coffe makes me morph into a bitch.

Joshua Coil: *He looks over to Mercury.* No need to overreact.

Joshua Coil: *He smirks at Surly's words.* So how can you tell if you've been drinking coffee?

J.T. Sincaid: Whoa..*he jumps back avoiding he grab* Sorry...I didn't know it wasn't cool.. *his tone is apologetic, he certainly gives off the vibe that all this is new to him*

Joshua Coil: Careful, *he mutters.* Family around here is not forgiving. Know your rules.

Surly: *for once, she actually decides to be...nice* Merc, chill. he wants to admit he's in a 'gang', let him. *rolls herself back upright and begins balancing on one foot, while punching. cold gaze settling on Simon for a moment*

Joshua Coil: d10: per+alert: 4,5,10,10,5,

Simon Gentle: Simon seems to know where he is going is actually heading towards the small gathering with a little smile curling his slips.

Joshua Coil: *His head swivels in the direction Surly is looking, and he grunts in greeting.*

Surly: *laughs at Josh and shows him her "pet bird"* easy--when i'm in bitch mode, i punch before i start insulting.

Joshua Coil: *His newspaper remains under his arm. But the hand of said arm slides under his coat.*

J.T. Sincaid: *he's a bit overwhelmed and doesn't see the other man approaching. He rolls his shoulders in another nervous gesture. Please tell me not everyone here is so weird he pleads silently to a higher power*

Mercury: J.T.: "Yeah, new people come in," he mumbles, "think the whole damn place is safe. It's not." He rolls his shoulders, a nice sharp popping sound of his neck, but the moment is over, and he finally nods over at J.T. "Me, too. Full," he mumbles, pointing with his eyes to the presently-crescent moon. "But I'm mellow tonight."

Mercury: He shuts up and looks over at Simon approaching. Wolfish grin.

Joshua Coil: Me too, *he says with a shrug.* Mostly. *Weird? HIM? He's NORMAL, dammit!*

Paige Nightsong: Not too far off where there are some gathered, the girl is in a nice grassy area, dressed warmly in sweats, dancing to nothing at all. But at closer look perhaps, the tiny earbuds cord can be seen extending downward and under her sweat top.

Simon Gentle: The tall and broad shouldered man nods to them, each in kind with a slightly lower nod to Surly before he looks to JT. "I am so glad that I could meet up and thank you for your donation." he says with a deep and thick new york accent.

Surly: *moves over to shut off the boombox, which has begun replaying the CD anyway. and then balances on the other foot while practicing punches*

Joshua Coil: *His hand remains under his coat, watching. Ever careful to the stranger. But when there is recognition, it slips free, and he takes another sip of his coffee.*

Mercury: He nods back to Simon, thinking he should know who he is.

Surly: *eyes the newest man as she pops her neck. then back. then fingers, one by one.*

J.T. Sincaid: Donation? *he seems confused for a moment* Oh..yeah..no problem. *he looks over Simon in his immaculate clothing and almost instantly feels smaller. This guy probably wipes his ass with $100 dollar bills* You're Simon? *he makes another leap in logic having called the man on the phone a few days ago, perhaps recognizing his voice*

Joshua Coil: *A pause, as his mind clicks. And his eyes widen slightly. His head lowers, and turns to the side, submissive moment.*

Simon Gentle: ((PM me if you need/want a memory jog : ) ))

Paige Nightsong: The girl is trying a running handstand double flip, giving herself plenty of room to get a head start. But as she gets part way through the stand, she suddenly lets go of one arm and softly tumbles onto the ground, and she starts rubbing frantically at the small of her back as she sits on the ground.

Simon Gentle: His voice was indeed familar, and he nods to JT. "Indeed I am, but everything that helps the Park and the homless is welcome." and then he glances around to the others. "I am sorry if I am intruding."

Joshua Coil: No, sir, of course not, *he says gruffly.* I have to get back to work.

Mercury: Ohhhh! He grins a little sheepishly, and though no one could exactly call him submissive towards Simon, he definitely has a respectful stance.

Surly: *shakes her head as the girl falls over, then eyes Simon without much recognition. hasn't kicked his ass yet*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She saunters her way into the park, her walk easy, relaxed. A little grin is on her face, snark at the standard, acceptable level...maybe a bit higher then usual. She hums a snippet of a Stephen Lynch song as she makes her way into the park.

A woman walks by, drawing the attention of many of the nearby men, and some of the women. Standing at 5’9” and a touch under her ideal weight at 125 pounds, her dusky skin and ebony hair, which falls freely to her mid-back, indicates Hispanic blood, possibly mixed with Native American. Her body is lithe, the kind many women would kill for, and well-proportioned underneath her black leather pants and matching tank-top. A brown duster and knee-high steel-toed Doc Martins complete the ensemble. Her eyes are a smoky brown, filled with a mischievous humor. She walks along, seemingly oblivious of others around her, excepting a casual appraising glance at the men around. She gives off an aura akin to a playful predator, on the hunt for something to bat around.

J.T. Sincaid: *is thankful Simon is intruding he at least seems normal. He dips his head respectfully to the leader of the local Walkers* Good to meet you officially. *he offers his hand out to Simon, certainly meeting such a man is worthy of a handshake*

Joshua Coil: *He does not interrupt, simply... keeps his eyes on the surroundings.*

Joshua Coil: d10: per+alert: 3,8,6,6,3,

Surly: *and yet another person. eyes Reyna as she slides slowly into a split. yeah, cold, snow on the ground, leather pants. who cares?*

Mercury: Friendly grin at J.T. as all is made official as far as Merc is concerned, and the faux pas of before is forgotten by the rambunctious Walker.

Joshua Coil: *Of course he notes the woman doing... backflips? Odd. He swallows, making the scar move a bit with the motion of his throat. And he notes Reyna as well. No... real acknowledgment, at least... not until it seems it is safe to leave without showing disrespect.*

Simon Gentle: Simon nods, still glancing around at the small gathering breifly before back to JT and the offered hand. A charming smile parts his lips as he accepts it. "A pleasure, and I do wish to be of any assistance in getting situated."

Paige Nightsong: She rubs a few more times, then gets back up again, pushing the shirt back down and pushes at the MP3 player, trying it again.

Surly: *begins attempting to lay her torso flat against each leg, then the ground in front of herself. back up. and repeat*

Paige Nightsong: d10: : 2,8,2,1,3,10,3,

J.T. Sincaid: *he nods again to Simon again with the utmost respect* I'm fairly settled thank you. I'd like to offer my assistance to you, if you have need of..*he searches for a word formality is a bit foreign to him* someone of my standing.

Paige Nightsong: She is certainly having a bad night, highly distracted maybe, and only gets a very bad backflip off, and gets to her feet, a little off balance.

Mercury: J.T.: "I know lots of people you can meet. Pretty cool place around here." Now seems eager to take the other one into his confidence, all Ragey friendliness.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She glances up toward the group of people, eyes falling on Joshua. She gives a little grin and makes her way toward the group...nothing overt about it, though.

Joshua Coil: Family is everywhere, *he mutters.* you just have to know where to look.

Mercury: He looks over at Reyna as she approaches and gives her a grin and a nod.

Surly: *sneers at Reyna. and sighs again at the backflip chick, shaking her head*

J.T. Sincaid: *he looks past Mercury towards Reyna as she approaches, he stares for a second and then shakes his head before finding the words to respond to the large man with a bit of a laugh* I'm sure the people you know are -most- interesting. I dig the city so far..

Simon Gentle: Simon grins a bit to Joshua and Merc before nodding back to JT. "We shall see, though getting to know people will be a good beginning."

Joshua Coil: *No beatings, no anger. It's a good thing. He nods to Reyna as well.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She gives a grin and nod to Mercury...Surly gets a wink. Paige, for her part, is regarded with amusement.

Surly: *rises gracefully and stretches a bit more. then snags her vest, shrugging into it. and looking around for her damn ponytail tie*

Joshua Coil: Sorry about the added security, sir, *he says in his scratched voice to Simon.* I just got off work.

Paige Nightsong: She takes some deep breaths again, flipping at the MP3 player. Scratch scratch scratch again, a small wince at perhaps scratching too hard, then rubbing at the same place through her top.

Mercury: J.T.: Chuckles. "You don't know the half of it. You've kinda met Joshua. He's cool, hell of a fighter from what I hear, and always knows where to find the best coffee in the city. Surly, over there. I'd say her bark is worse than her bite, but her bite is vicious, too." Said as a compliment. "This is Reyna, don't know her too well, but she can be wicked fun to hang with."

J.T. Sincaid: *he nods again to Simon* Alright, I'll be around, easy to contact if the need arises. *feels like an idiot talking to the leader of the local Glasswalkers so casually. *

Surly: *snickers at Reyna's wink and shakes her head again. this time to get the hair out of her face.* yo, Joshua. that cafe have decent salad? *arches a brow at the man*

Mercury: d10: spot Paige: 6,2,2,10,3,8,

Surly: *smirks to Merc* hell no. my bite's much worse than my bite. *chuckles*

Paige Nightsong: One more time and if she couldn't get it, she'd call it a night for the practice routine.

Paige Nightsong: d10: : 7,5,6,5,9,3,5,

Mercury: He takes some vague notice of Paige some short distance away, a momentary curiousity, but doesn't pay too much attention. He missed the tumbles.

J.T. Sincaid: *he laughs quietly again as he looks back to Mercury, still showing his nervousness around the others of his kin* So...coffee and brawling? That's how you all get your kicks? *no pun intended*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Joshua gets a grin as well...no words, as he's busy with the Fam bigwig. She looks to Mercyiry and chuckles. "Thanks, Merc. I know, I'm the fuckin' bomb." She looks to J.T. and nods to him. "Hola."

Paige Nightsong: Stepping back, she gave it another go, running into a handstand, with two back flips. Much smoother this time, landing solidly on both feet and on balance.

Mercury: Surly: "Nah, but you do give it a hell of a try."

Surly: *suddenly yells to the tumbler* good one that time. and then turns to JT without missing a beat* these two think they can scrap. *smirks* i teach fighting.

Joshua Coil: *He pauses.* Sometimes I go to the firing range as well. *He smiles faintly, and finishes off his coffee. He lowers his free hand, and barely brushes it against Reyna's side as she passes. The barest glancing touch.*

J.T. Sincaid: *he gives Reyna a half smile, tries not to leer at her and responds in a friendly tone* Hi, I'm J.T. *he introduces himself for the 4th time in the last 30 minutes*

Michelle (Rauko): ((cans jump?))

Mercury: J.T.: "Depends on what you're into. For leisure time, yeah. Also clubbing, dancing, screwing, plenty to do around here in our off hours."

Paige Nightsong: Paige glances up, hearing someone she thought calling to her, so gives a bow for good measure in the general area she thinks it came from.

Simon Gentle: Simon nods some to Reyna as she comes up but remains calm for now, offering a slight smile to Joshua at the mention of security but he just remains an observer for the moment.

J.T. Sincaid: *he raises an eyebrow when Surly declares that she teaches fighting, hmm he should've guess that.* I uh...teach guitar *he says with a bit of a laugh, clearly not as glorious as being a martial arts instructor*

Surly: *flips off Merc* try, my nonexistant left nut. one of these days, going to prove it to you. *a short laugh. not, actually, offended. hey, she gives out so much shit, she might as well be able to take it in return*

Mercury: Sniffs at Surly. "I can punch. I just need some finesse."

Surly: *shrugs to JT* everyone's got to do something. *smirks*

Paige Nightsong: d10: perc + alert: 8,10,8,6,3,7,9,

J.T. Sincaid: I'm into music *he says to Mercury* Not all about techno, I'm kinda just waiting in limbo for metal to make a comeback *he says with another less nervous laugh*

Paige Nightsong: She does spot Mercury, but he looked kinda busy, so goes back to doing a small dance routine, minus the flips and handstands.

Mercury: Throws in, "I've been thinking of teaching dance. Why the hell not? In a few years, I'll probably be too old to shake my booty on stage myself anyway. Gotta think of settling down about then, raise some kids, have a different career to fall back on." Laughs at the thought of it.

Surly: which is why, you poor uneducated lout, i'm going to teach you a few things. polish those rough edges and shit. *laughs, giving Merc a tight grin*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: The touch is not reacted to visually, but is reciprocated. She nods to J.T., grinning. "Nice to meet ya, J.T."

.T. Sincaid: Thanks for making me feel so good about myself. *he says to Surly in response to her smirk. He laughs again at his self-depreciating joke*

Mercury: J.T.: "Metal ain't dead, but it's kind of morphed into something else. I mean, hell, even Metallica isn't Metallica anymore. The days of Motorhead and Iron Maiden are, regrettably, the golden oldies now."

Simon Gentle: "Please excuses me, I need to tend to some other business." and then takes off with a nod to the gathering towards the Heart of the Caern at a casual pace.

Mercury: He gives Surly a low bow. "I am yours to mold into a fighting machine."

Michelle (Rauko): ((hmmmm...)) *well she was meadning,staying away of everyone, just walking through, quietly*

Michelle (Rauko): *she is a smallish teenager, near her sixteen. Dirty blond, curly hair falls to her shoulders, generally loose, eyes peer unsurely towards the world, seeming kin, but not secure. Her frame is slender, almost small. Her hands are delicate, of large fingers, and oddly long fingernails, even though they seem to be kept short they have a long ness to them. Though what most call the attention are her eyes, they look almost yellowish, like those of a wolf, with a slight red circle around the yellow, before the white of the eyes. Her teeth seem slightly large too, specially the canines. Despite this she still seems to draw the attention of the eye, with her delicacy, and her instinctive shyness, that seems to give her an exotic kind of prettiness.* http://www.geocities.com/furygodess/Rauko.html

Joshua Coil: All the good music existed before 1970 anyway, *he says with a shrug.* And movies too.

J.T. Sincaid: *he opens his jacket briefly to reveal his Slayer t-shirt complete with pentagram logo* Don't get me started on Metallica...they're just embarrassing themselves now, hard to sound angry when you're unbelievably rich.

Mercury: He nods to Simon. "Laterz." But it's said with respect, as much as he can put into a single word. Glances over at Paige again. She's really familiar.

Surly: *shudders* gross. crotch droppings. i'm never spawning unless someone figures out how to drug me long enough to squirt one out. and then whoever did it better gack me, or i'm going to reduce them to component parts. with my fingers and lots of washing the blood off with salted vinegar. *perfectly calm, perfectly serious about such plans*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "SO not true," she says to Joshua, eyes narrowing over her grin. "Take that that about the movies."

J.T. Sincaid: *he nods to Simon as the man walks off. He almost says "Nice to meet you" but that just sounds too lame in his head so the nod will have to do*

Mercury: J.T.: "I knew they were dead when the hair was cut. I saw 'em in concern with Suicidal Tendencies, and let me tell ya, Suicidal put on a show and Metallica just wasn't the same."

Joshua Coil: *He smiles faintly.* Okay, that movie with the dragon fighting in it that you made me watch was kinda neat. *Yes. It has no name. And yes, that is what he remembers about it.*

Paige Nightsong: Scratch scratch scratch through the top of the shirt, and a sigh. Time to head to the store and get some hydrocortisone for the itching. She starts out away from the park to an exit.

Mercury: Surly: "They aren't so bad, actually. I usedta think kids were totally lame, but then I got to hang around with some, giving the 'stay clean' lectures to warn them not to end up looking like me, and ya'know, they're pretty cool. It's going to be a challenge to figure out how I'm going to father them, but I'll work it out." He peers at her thoughtfully. "But it'd suck to have to actually push 'em out of my own body like women have to."

Surly: *grunts to Simon by way of farewell. smirks at JT again* so, learn some combat. you can fight and teach guitar at teh same time. *nods to Merc* lookign forward to teaching you. and you teaching me this fencing stuff. * a short laugh* don't worry--in the ring there is only one Master. when i teach, that's me. when you do, it's you.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She raises her eyebrow, then sighs, shaking her head in mock sadness. "You're hopeless, you know that?"

Mercury: OH! He suddenly remembers. "YO! Paige!"

J.T. Sincaid: Black Album was their last gasp, great record, but every band rusts eventually. I'd have been happier if they all died in a plane crash instead of ruining their legacy with awful album after awful album.

Paige Nightsong: d10: : 7,3,3,5,1,10,9,

Joshua Coil: What? *he says.* I remember that. And the annoying children in front of us correcting what was different about the ... book?

J.T. Sincaid: I can scrap. *he says to Surly* Not well..but I've taken a few punches to the jaw in my day. *he seems to find the idea of brawling amusing, clearly he's never been in a real fight*

Paige Nightsong: She stops thinking she heard her name, then looks around for a moment, before walking back from where she had been.

Mercury: J.T.: "They should have quit when they were ahead. This is Paige, she'd kind of new to everything." He says this before the woman even approaches.

Surly: i use music in teadching a lot, and to work out. my tastes vary, but usually i'm looking for a good, solid beat. beginner classes i usually try to get riled by making them listen to bad country rock or some kind of classical march.

Michelle (Rauko): ((fle))

Mercury: Waves madly at Paige.

Paige Nightsong: She heads over toward him once she sees the waving arms.

Surly: *shakes her head to Merc* no. not happening in my case. i will not turn into a baby factory. *cold eyes flash darkly at the thought* mm-hmm. *eyes JT* right. you and i will have a go sometime and you can show me.

J.T. Sincaid: Oh...hey, I'm J.T. *he says to Paige when she approaches their little gathering. Maybe these guys aren't so bad...well that dude with the raspy voice is still weirding him out and he's unsure of what to think about the badass girl brawler. She's kinda cute..he quickly pushes such crazy thoughts aside*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I meant in general about movies, hon." She smirks. "I have a lot of work to do."

Mercury: "Yo. Paige, right? 'Sup?"

J.T. Sincaid: I'm uh...looking forward to it? *he says to Surly with a laugh at the prospect of sparring with her*

Paige Nightsong: She is a bit surprised by the greeting, but doesn't mind. "Hi, I'm Paige," nice honey sounding southern drawl. "Hi Mercury."

Surly: *eyes Josh and Reyna* Bruce Li. *smirks* start there. ease him into it. *a sudden blink* huh....come to think of it, last movie i saw was an old Bruce Li flick. *shrugs*

Mercury: He's pleased. "You remember me!" Like a huge, tattooed, pierced Cherokee is easy to forget.

Surly: *gives JT a slow, evil grin* so am i. *cracking her knuckles ominiously. without seemign to notice she's doing so. looks Paige up and down slwoly*

Paige Nightsong: "Yes, easy enough name to remember. The planet, or the name of a singer."

J.T. Sincaid: Maybe you can just kick me in the nuts now and we can save you the effort of driving my face into the asphalt. *he says to Surly as he raises his eyebrows in response to her disturbing grin*

Joshua Coil: Oh, *he says, thoughtfully. And he wrinkles his nose, trying to think of any good movies in the past thirty years.* But ... there ... aren't.

Surly: *snickers at Merc* from Queen.

Mercury: "AH!" He shudders violently. "No, no, no, I am *nothing* like Freddie Mercury. Well, *one* thing maybe, but nothing else!"

Joshua Coil: Oh, *he says, and looks up.* One of the very few martial artists from television or movies that actually KNEW martial arts.

Mercury: Surly: "If you kindly forget she said that, I will buy you your coffee for the next month."

Surly: *nods to Reyna* id've liked to fight him, see if he really was as good as he looked in the movies. *gives JT that same grin again* nah. i'll make you work for that treat. i never just kick someone in the balls--no fun.

Paige Nightsong: She laughs softly, nodding to Surly then Mercury.

Surly: *snorts to Merc* i don't drink it unless there's literally nothing else around. like i said, it makes me too bitchy.

J.T. Sincaid: Damn, and here I was looking forward to getting it over quickly *he says with a laugh, clearly he's joking*

Mercury: "Tea then. I'll buy your TEA for a month."

Joshua Coil: *He looks back to Surly.* If you're looking for a fight, I think I have a moment to scrap.

Surly: *eyes Merc. for her, playful* just be glad i don't waste my cash buying other people tshirts, or i'd get you a Queen one. prefeably pink or rainbow tiedye.

Paige Nightsong: She winds up the cord for her earbuds and slips it into the pocket of her sweatpants. Then looks around at the others who she doesn't really seem to know, but waits to see if there was a reason Mercury wanted her to come over.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "You..." She looks to Joshua. "...are setting yourself up for a week-long film marathon. And if you keep it up...you'll have to sit through it without coffee." An idle threat, of course...but one she makes sounds fierce. She'd never deprive them of coffee.

Surly: *laughs at Merc* deal. consider it forgotten. *grins to JT* nothing worth anything is easy....*and turns to Josh, eyes lighting up* you're on. here all right?

Joshua Coil: *His eyes widen.* You know how I get off of coffee. It's almost savage, *he says, with a pout that would... okay, so it's not an impressive pout at all. But he's trying.*

Paige Nightsong: Rub rub again at the back of the shirt, at least not as itchy.

Surly: *eyes Paige* you got migratory crabs or something? *blinks*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Fine then. Christmas to New Year's Movie Marathon. WITH coffee...if you behave, and stop knocking modern cinema."

J.T. Sincaid: So I've been told. *he says to Surly, should he be intimidated by this chic? Gah, that's so lame* Well, let me know when you want to throw down, perhaps you can teach me a thing or ten.

Paige Nightsong: "Huh?" she gives a very puzzled look.

Joshua Coil: Sure, *he says with a shrug to Surly.*

Mercury: "Pink..." Shudders at the thought.

Joshua Coil: Fine, *he says with a slight huff, and removes his coat. Brr. Cold. But it needs to come off so he can take off the suit jacket. And THAT needs to come off so he can remove the harness with the two 9mm pistols. The guns are put down in the coat, and he shivers again.* It's cold. But I think I can manage.

Mercury: ((I'm going to have to extract myself with this scene. Have a scene coming up I need to focus on. *hugs around.*)) "I'll say my goodbyes, taking Rei to dinner then another dull gallery walk. See ya."

Surly: *nods to JT* deal. i'm still concious after taking on Mr. Movie Trivia here, you're next. *is that a threat or an invitation? shrugs to Paige* never mind. *turns to Josh and strips off the vest and rings. rigns go in her duffel* you're packing, you said. you can store them in my bag for the duration.

J.T. Sincaid: *opens his eyes wide when Joshua pulls out two hand-guns. He makes a note to try and not piss that guy off*

Surly: ((awwww! *chuckles and hugs Merc-p tight* see ya soon, hun! *skotc*)) Merc, give me a callt o set up lesson times. card, here. *the bag again. reaches into a pocket for a card and tosses it in his general direction, most of her attention now on the upcoming spar*

Joshua Coil: *He pauses.* I think Reyna can watch them.

Paige Nightsong: She sighs softly figuring out that there's going to be some sparring. Not in the mood for this sorta thing anyway. And now tht Mercury was leaving she definitely didn't feel all that comfortable around most of these people she had no idea who they were.

J.T. Sincaid: Well, I have an appointment to keep. Nice meeting you all, I'm sure we'll cross paths again. *he nods to the lot of them and then begins to move along down the paved path again* (Gotta run, I will perhaps be back later. Thanks for the rp everyone!)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She reaches out to take the coat from Joshua, holding them for him, and she sits back to watch. Should be interesting...

Surly: ((*G* see ya, JT!))

Mercury: He grabs the card and pockets it. "Thanks. I'll call to find out your favorite tea, and bring it along." Heads out.

Paige Nightsong: Quietly she slips off away from them, rubbing again at her back.

Surly: *gives Merc a thumbs' up.* Queen's blend, followed by jasmine green tea followed by green tea Chai. you probably won't be able to find the first. *eyes on Josh as she steps back slowly, lips already beginning to curve into a manic smile*

Joshua Coil: *He twists his head slightly the crack noise almost unpleasant to listen to. But he straightens, and faces off with Surly.* Nothing below the belt. This is just a spar, *he says calmly.*

Mercury: ((~poof~))

Joshua Coil: *And the newb leaving too. huh. He'd have to keep that in mind.*

Surly: *nods to Josh* all right. any other rules? like, kicking allowed? no biting, though. and how far we going? beat each other senseless, first blood, or stop when one of us gets in a blow that would kill if we weren't holding back that last edge.

Joshua Coil: ((*mentally blames Smithy for Josh even THINKING newb*))

Joshua Coil: Kicking is all right. No biting. I'll try not to knock you out, though if you do to me it should be fine, just get me to an isolated area in case I wake up angry.

Surly: *nods* yo, chick whose name i forgot. *this means Reyna, of course* i manage to lay him out, you feel like helping me drag his heavy ass off somewhere? *chuckles, flexing various body parts gently, ensuring she's still warmed enough for a good fight*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks between Surly and Joshua, grinning a little. This should be good.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "It's Reyna." She nods to Surly. "If you knock his ass out, I'll help drag him off...and dinner's on me." A wink to Joshua.

Joshua Coil: So if I lose, she gets dinner. What do I get if I win? *Sort of a rhetorical question it seems, as he finishes up stretching, and clenches fists.*

Surly: Reyna. *nods* doubt you'll be buying dinner....*her grin wicked. eyes blazing* but it won't be for me not trying hard. *see? she HAS learned something about Garou!!*

Misty Greymoore: slender, graceful, always watching and curious, with fastidiously clean habits and always clothing of deep blacks and purples and greens; usually laces and silks, very much a goth. Lace goth at that. Eyeliner. A pentacle on a tight necklace always there, as well. Wrapped up very warmly in the subzero (with wind chill), and her parasol is open, over one shoulder.

Surly: *rolls her shoulders, then her neck* ready when you are, Movie Man.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "If you win, Joshua...I won't make you watch 'Glitter.'"

Joshua Coil: *A punch is thrown at that. There is NO way he's watching ANYTHING called Glitter.*

Misty Greymoore: The parasol is still being twirled, the young gothling wandering idly along the paths. Just wherever she feels like. And when hearing a couple of comments, and seeing two squaring up ... a yawn, teeth bright white between dark lips, and a slow, swaying strut. Deliberate.

Joshua Coil: d10: dex+brawl: 2,4,7,3,4,8,7,

Surly: ((i really need to see that flick some time to discover for myself how bad it is. although based on the reviews, i'll hide the sharp pointy objects and keep a bucket near my chair.))

Joshua Coil: d10: dam: 4,2,1,1,5,8,

Surly: *attempts to duck under his punch, fighting the natural urge to go for the jewels on the way down*

Joshua Coil: *The punch is planned, though perhaps it slips just a bit, his fist not tightened quite enough to really leave a bruise.*

Surly: d10: dex/dodge: 3,5,5,9,7,2,8,5,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((It's HORRIBLE. Laughably so...lots of fun to mock)) She glances back at Misty for a moment...but the fight more has her attention.

Joshua Coil: *Or to slip. Giving him an overhand shot, and he goes for it.*

Joshua Coil: d10: dex+brawl: 6,7,9,7,5,4,2,

Misty Greymoore: Wander. Wander. Idly moving along, and the parasol brought down, and furled quickly and smoothly, tucked under an arm. A three-quarter coat fully buttoned. And eyeing the first punch with something close to interest, quickening her step (Yadda. Fae. Enchanted. PM. Yadda)

Surly: *another attempted dodge, a roll to the left*

Surly: d10: d/d: 2,8,6,7,6,2,9,10,

Surly: d10: reroll : 5,

Joshua Coil: *It's irritating. She keeps moving when he knows his punches are right on target.*

Surly: ((*L* must see it, then. *BG*)) *doesn't even notice Misty. focused entirely on Josh*

Joshua Coil: d10: dex+brawl: 2,7,1,5,9,6,7,

Surly: *grinning maniacally, cold eyes blazing. this is Life to her*

Misty Greymoore: She stands on tiptoe, leaning towards Reyna, speaking quietly so as not to distract them "It's like dodgeball, only more so. She's not even swinging"

Surly: *this time, she tries to eat the blow, launching out with a punch of her own, from the crouch she came out of from the roll*

Joshua Coil: d10: dam: 4,4,7,10,9,5,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Give 'im time," she says with a chuckle to Misty, before calling out to Joshua. "Mariah Carey's gonna be singing for you, hon...and trying to act, too..."

Surly: d10: d/brawl: 10,3,5,10,5,4,2,1,

Surly: d10: tens: 1,4,

Surly: d10: soak: 2,8,4,

Misty Greymoore: "That's just cruel" She plants the ferrule on the floor and watches the pair, eyeliner'd irises fixed, but her mouth still moving "Why Mariah?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "'cause I'm evil." A wink to Misty.

Surly: d10: dmg: 2,7,4,

Joshua Coil: d10: soak: 2,4,7,

Joshua Coil: *Now the battle is joined. Now he seems to be enjoying himself as well. He rotates, going in with the left hook.*

Joshua Coil: d10: dex+brawl: 2,3,6,1,4,9,8,

Misty Greymoore: "There's evil, then there's that. God. Why not subject him to the Olsen twins while you're at it?" A superlative sniff "Or just provide the razor?"

Surly: *still grinning despite his nice blow. and she returns the favor by aiming for his midsection.*

Surly: d10: d/b: 7,5,5,4,8,5,6,6,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Olsen twins are for when he pisses me off." She grins to Misty, and looks back to the fight.

Surly: d10: dmg: 9,7,6,7,4,6,

Surly: d10: soak: 5,3,2,

Joshua Coil: d10: dam: 3,5,4,5,2,

Joshua Coil: d10: soak: 6,2,8,

Joshua Coil: *That punch seems to wind him just a bit, but his eyes focus... no fury, just strength. Good moon for it. He doesn't hesitate in returning the favour, going for two now.*

Joshua Coil: d10: punch : 9,9,6,5,2,

Joshua Coil: d10: punch : 5,3,4,10,

Misty Greymoore: "So this is you being nice?" A sculpted brow raises, but she doesn't move from watching the fight. "Wow. What else lurks in that subconscious?" A sigh, shouldering the parasol and sending specks of dirt forwards as it's flicked from the soil "And they always look like such -nice- people"

Joshua Coil: ((WP spent to ignore wound penalties))

Surly: *takes it like a woman and swings back*

Surly: d10: d/b: 3,9,4,4,1,7,8,6,

Joshua Coil: d10: dam: 10,8,5,6,6,9,

Joshua Coil: d10: Dam: 8,5,6,10,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "You SO don't wanna know..."

Surly: d10: dmg: 1,9,10,4,7,

Surly: d10: st soak: 4,4,5,8,

Surly: d10: nd soak: 9,2,9,5,

Joshua Coil: d10: soak: 9,7,1,

Misty Greymoore: She twists, blinks once, and then, quite firmly, tucks an arm through Reyna's. Speaking quietly, and surely, certainty in every styllable "But I do"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Hon, they always say that at first." She grins to Misty, giving her a wink, then looks back to the fight.

Joshua Coil: *A quick, hard right, is followed by a short jab into her gut. His eyes don't seem so hardened. Lighter, perhaps. This is FUN.*

Surly: *her grins widens even as her breath nearly gets knocked out of her. staggering back to try and dodge* (WP to ignore wound penalties))

Surly: d10: d/d: 4,5,6,7,1,5,6,1,

Misty Greymoore: Eyes back to the fight, and she keeps up the same, insinuating and quiet tone. Hooking the parasol onto her forearm as it crosses her body, one arm through Reyna's and the other resting on that hand. A -very- ladylike pose. "Mm hmm. On the other hand, aside from different fingers, I could actually mean it. Mariah Carey just to convince him to win a fight?" A pause "He must be bad if he needs that much convincing"

Joshua Coil: *He lets her stumble, losing her dexterity. He takes a step back. He'd promised not to knock her out.* Enough to avoid that screechng harpy? *he grunts.*

Surly: *a breathless laugh* damn it all to fuck and back. you're on tonight, and i'm off my game. *slowly straightens up* two options, movie man. let me get my breath back and go again....or, i buy you a coffee, and we go another round some other time. *she looks....cheerful.*

Joshua Coil: Coffee sounds good, *he says with a nod. He cants his head, and rubs at his stomach, where there will be a nice bruise forming.*

Surly: then, we'll spar some other time. *shakes her head.* you're good. that was fun. *a very careful stretch. her bruises will be very pretty, very soon*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Naah, he's good." She grins a little. "Still never hurts to give some incentive, y'know?" She looks to Joshua and nods. "Yeah, that'll do, hon. Nicely done."

Joshua Coil: *He nods.* It was. So're you. you... gonna be okay, need a place to relax?

Surly: all right, Kaffe. another gingerbread thing or you going to try the other new kind of coffee you mentioned? *smirks and tosses a glance at teh ladies* you two are coming.

Joshua Coil: I can treat, *he says with a shrug.* But then I have to get on to guard duty.

Misty Greymoore: "Now see, 'you two are coming' is sort've an imperative" She pauses "Or something. On the other hand" murmering, beneath her breath, something about fingers "It does seem rude to punch and run"

Surly: *waves a hand at him* i've been hurt worse than this. *shrugs* price you pay for doing what i do for a living and when you have my kind of charming attitude. *smirks. and gets back into her vest*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Well, if you insist..." She grins and moves to Joshua, handing over coats and guns. "Here's your babies back."

Surly: no you aren't. *she informs Josh* you won, i buy. next time, when i kick your ass, you can buy me a tea. *a harsh chuckle, getting her rings back on her figners where they belong*

Joshua Coil: *He smiles faintly, and puts on the holsters first. then the suit jacket again. Then his coat. Little warm now, but it's all good.* Thanks for holding the ladies for me, *he says, and leans forward to kiss her cheek. It seems he's not noticed Misty yet. His focus, after all, IS skewed.*

Surly: *eyes the guns* hmph. someone suggested i learn to shoot, too. but i don't know. seems so impersonal to damage people from a distance. *shrugs, then looks to Misty* come get a free drink, or don't. my money. your call. you want food, you buy it, though.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Any time, hon." She grins, leaning into the kiss. "You know I love a chance to talk to the other women in your life, share secrets."

Misty Greymoore: Her smug grin widens. She looks maybe sixteen, but nods, and a somewhat wistful tone, again, re-slipping her arm through Reyna's, as her drinks ticket "Shall I be good and have the milk?"

Joshua Coil: Well, Marcie IS a slut, *he says absently. His head swivels to the girl, and he clears his throat.* I ... *He pauses.* Hello.

Surly: *frowns, puzzled* who's Marcie? *looks at Misty* you? *scratches her head, bemused* you look more like a Goth princess than a slut.

Joshua Coil: One of my guns, *he mutters, and shoves his hands into his pockets. He looks slightly embarrassed.*

Surly: *puzzlement clears* ah. *shrugs* i don't name my weapons. one of my senseis told Pop that when you start pulling that, you tend to end up putting more faith in the weapon than your skills. so, you come to think you must have ~that~ weapon, or you'll lose. and, you do. Pop beleived him, and any time he caught me naming stuff, it got broken and junked. it's a habit not to, now.

Misty Greymoore: "Why, thank you" A grin. Or lifting her lip and showing her upper teeth. Close enough. Smooth, save for vaguely prominent canines. "And as much as I'd love to claim to be something he cleans and fires" A wiggle of fingers at Josh "No. You can, though, call me Misty."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Naah...you ALWAYS name the weapons." She nods to Joshua. "After all, Harry and Brock just wouldn't be the same, otherwise."

Surly: come on Kaffee, Reyna, Princess Gothy. drinks are that way. *gathers her duffel and boombox. and, perhaps oddly, Misty's new name isn't said like an insult*

Joshua Coil: Josh, *he offers to Misty. He stares at her for a moment as if trying ot figure out what she's talking about. A small smile to Reyna's words.*

Surly: Misty. *blinks* Reyna. oh, yeah. i'm Schulyer. call me Surly; it fits. *a smirk, then a shrug to Reyna* i have too many rings to name, and too many canes. and my fists and feet don't need names--they're a part of me.

Misty Greymoore: "Princess Gothy" She ruminates, and then just settles to a smug smirk "Now, if I can only get that name to spread ..."

Joshua Coil: Coffee, *he says, and raises his head, sniffing. all embarrassment forgotten for extreme euphoria.*

Surly: lead the way, Kaffee. *smirks to the man, eyes rolling slightly. glances to Misty*try Edwardian togs. that, or punk-Goth is what i usually wear. *a short laugh* these are workout clothes.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "One-a these days, you'll meet Denty," she tells Surly. "Denty ROCKS." She looks up to Joshua, nodding emphantically. "Coffee. Must find. Must drink. Yes?"

Misty Greymoore: "I've seen punk goths" Idly, trotting beside Reyna. She's shorter, younger, and takes more steps. heels and ferrule clicking. "And it seems such a waste. Like dying green spots onto a black cat"

Surly: *arches a brow at Reyna* Denty another gun? and follow him.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Denty's my chair." She follows along at Joshua's side, putting a hand on his shoulder and leaning a little against him.

Surly: *snorts to Misty* punk Goth's got the advantages of often showing skin. wanna-be rapists gawking at your tits are easier to coldcock.

Joshua Coil: Rar. Coffee good, *he agrees, and he looks back to Misty, as if trying to figure her out. But coffee first. He knows ALL the cafes around here by now.* ((Restaurant?)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Restaraunt!))

Surly: *strides along witht he group, raising a brow at Reyna* your chair's a weapon? *ponders this* mph. i've hit a few in my time with chairs. never use one of those aluminum stools to beat someone with, by the way. too flimsy.

Surly: (*G* meet ya'll there....)

 

RESTAURANT

Misty Greymoore: Skirting the heavy outside tables carefully, she slips inside, gloved fingers working on the buttons carefully. Replying to Surly "That would rather assume I could coldcock one. I might land him on his head" A bright smile "But I don't think I've -ever- hit someone. I could break a nail" Gloves removed. Nails.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((MY EYES!))

Joshua Coil: ((They're right here! *tosses the eyes back to Rav*))

Surly: *snorts to the girl* you have an umbrella with a point on the end. you can use it to stab groins, throats, throats--even just the gut in a pinch. or use it like a club. use the handle to try and hook an ankle or knee, maybe. shove it between someone's legs to trip them.

Surly: ((*has a sudden image of Anjou and her infamous jar o' eyeballs....*))

Misty Greymoore: "This is -not- an umberella" A touch defensive, as her pale hands hug the item to her. Under the coat, a dark, oily-green velvet top, off the shoulder and a neckline that -almost- starts to show cleavage "It's a parasol. And that is like an umberella, save it does nothing an umberella should. Like, say, hurt people"

Surly: *rolls her eyes* if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and swims like a duck, then it's a duck. whatever you want to call that thing, it looks like an umbrella to me. *there's a table. she heads for it, glowering at the other patrons sourly*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She slips in just in front of Joshua, holding the door for everyone. Once everyone is through, she moves along with the group, letting the door swing shut as she heads to the table.

Misty Greymoore: "It could be a disguised ornathologist with a quacker" Offering, as she hangs her coat on the back of a chair. Long skirt. Small boots, legs crossing as she perches on said chair

Joshua Coil: *He walks through, and doesn't QUITE cringe as people seem to just avoid him. It's not that he smells, really. all that ragey grr.*

Surly: *drops into a chair a bit more slowly than normal and snags the menu for a quick once-over*

Joshua Coil: *Oooh... he can get food too. He slides into a chair, and looks over it. Mmmh... burger... bacon swiss burger.*

Surly: orna-what? *blinks* nah. reality is what's in front of my face. i call it like i see it. *smirks at Misty*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She takes a seat next to Joshua and snags a menu of her own. "Wonder how their chili burger is here?"

Surly: *the waitress comes over. amazingly, she comes closer to Surly than to Josh* the drinks and our food's on me. *nodding to Josh* all the drinks. the chicks want food, they buy their own. and i want this salad, add feta, side of grilled chicken, plain. and your holiday Chai, with extra cream.

Misty Greymoore: In Misty's defence, Josh hasn't seemed to wierd her out at all. Of course, it could be hard to tell. A pentacle dangling at her neck, elegent nails that match her lipstick gesturing as she speaks "Umberella. Made of something to keep rain off. Parasol. Usually made of satin or silk" She sniffs. The one on her lap is lace. Black. And polished steel that might pass for silver. "On the other hand, it's great for assassinating hungarians"

Joshua Coil: I'll pay for the food, then, *he says, looking over to Reyna. And a nod to Misty.* It's only fair. And they make a damned good burger.

Surly: *nods to Josh* your choice, your cash. *arches a brow at Misty* never use anything distinctive to assinate someone unless you're leaving town shortly thereafter. or you can hide the damage wellenough to fool forensics.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Hey, I'm cool with that, for once." She grins to Joshua.

Misty Greymoore: "Excellent. Assassination lessons" She leans in, uncoiling forward, resting her chin on her hands and eyeing the bruised girl with lazy eyeliner "What else can you teach me with this? Should I take notes?"

Joshua Coil: You can make up for it by never making me watch anything that makes you spontaneously vomit.

Surly: *quite calmly searches out her small medkit in her duffel. removes the tiny jar of Tiger Balm. vest goes off, and turtleneck is pulled up enough to show the worst of the bruises. and then she applies a coat of the stuff to her injuries*

Surly: *smirks to Misty* never throw your last weapon at your opponent unless they can't use it against you. or you feel suicidal that day. and if you can't fight for shit, learn to dodge well--if you aren't there when the blow lands, you don't take as much damage barring freak accidents. and if you gack someone, make sure you torch the corpse or dump it in a deep and hidden body of water. much easier to get the traces of you off it, then.

Surly: heh. Reyna. *smirks* get him to watch Underworld. i heard that's a fun one to see.

Joshua Coil: *He arches an eyebrow.* what's that about?

Misty Greymoore: "Kate Beckinsale with a very shiny bottom" Answering Josh

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "it's a plan." She nods to Joshua. "Of course, nothing makes me ACTUALLY vomit...just want to. So it's a bogus deal...but too late."

Joshua Coil: *His eyes widen, and he turns to Reyna.* We can watch that.

Surly: *drinks arrive. tucks the medicine back into it's proper place and mixes the cream into the hot liquid*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Yeah, mostly Kate Beckinsdale's ass, really." She grins and pats Joshua's leg. "Okay. But then we get to watch the Antonio Benderas hotness triology."

Joshua Coil: *Ooooh... it smells so good... He takes a sip, carefully. No one was gonna switch his regular for decaf. No one.*

Joshua Coil: *He blinks at that, and scratches the side of his face.* Any good fight scenes in it?

Surly: *looks up from tea-fixing* who're they?

Misty Greymoore: "I didn't actually like it much" Perusing the menu, and desserts "It didn't have enough of the furry things eating the gothy things. Or the gothy things shooting the furry ones. Either way" She grins up. Prominent canines. And a wink

Surly: *purses her lips* the gothy things have decent-looking clothes? *her one concession to being a traditional female. she likes wearing hawt clothes*

Misty Greymoore: "They have PVC catsuits. With very shiny bottoms" Assuredly, and a cat's smile to Josh "Do I have to get a meal, or can I go straight to dessert?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Plenty." She nods. "Plus, Desperado's got Selma Hayek, Zorro's got Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Once Upon a Time in Mexico's got...well, Selma Hayek again. And Eva Mendes."

Joshua Coil: No complaints, then, *he says with a serious nod.* We can watch those.

Surly: *wrinkles her nose* PVC sucks ass. you can't move well in it unless it's cut to arrestable levels.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Nothing wrong with arrestable levels, Surly. Except, you know. Being arrested."

Surly: that's what's wrong with it. *smirks to Reyna* besides, it's too stiff, and if you work up a good sweat you look like you have a river leaking out of your ankle cuffs. i'll take leather over PVC any day.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "No, leather's way better," she agrees. "Besides, it look better too, in my not-so-humble opinion."

Surly: *nods* truth. bonus, it smells better than PVC, too.

Misty Greymoore: "Easier to smooth down" Satisfied "And mm. Arrestable, not really." Elegent is a -good- word. "Where's the fun if you can't find out what they've been hiding?" A mischeivious grin over the top of a glass of milk

Joshua Coil: I'd have no objections to you wearing leather, *he says quite calmly to Reyna.*

Surly: *rolls her eyes slightly at Josh and sips her tea finally. now that it's good and steeped. grunts to the waitress delivering food and begins eating*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Would now be the time where I point out that Reyna's almost always wearing her black leather pants? *S*))

Joshua Coil: ((Now would be the time to point out that her breasts distract from her legs.))

Surly: ((*ROTFL!*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Point. *Snerks*)) "Well, then. Maybe I'll go shopping." She chuckles a little and leans back in her chair.

Joshua Coil: *He smirks slightly, waiting for food now. His coffee vanishes all too quickly.*

Misty Greymoore: Eyes glance between the three, and she sips from her milk after -carefully- licking the rim of the glass. No lipstick marks here. "Only downside to leather is if you get caught in a downpour" Twisting her face at a memory "It shrinks. And franky, that can be painful"

Surly: *shrugs* s'why i oil my leathers. *stolidly eating her salad. the chicken cut up and mixed in with it*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "That's what Dusty's for, Misty." She pats the duster fondly. Yes...Surly, Misty, and Joshua are privy to a secret never told to anyone within New York. She's named her duster, too.

Joshua Coil: So many things to compete with, *He says with a small smile.* What's taking the food so long. I'm hungry.

Surly: *blinks at Reyna* do you name your panties, too? *smirks* shit, for some reason i'm reminded i need to get my houseplants back and water them.

Surly: *grins to Josh evilly* you aren't scary enough. i have my salad....

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Nope." She shakes her head with as grin to Surly. "That'd just be wierd."

Joshua Coil: Yeah, *he mutters.* It's my job to name her underwear.

Surly: *snickers to Reyna* be worse if they talked to you, named or not. i don't even think i'd want to know what panties would say if they could talk.

Surly: *gives Josh a long,long look* TMI. *states firmly*

Misty Greymoore: She sets her milk down with a click looks up, a spider-fingered hand to the bare upper portion of her chest. Sweet smile "Underwear?"

Surly: *another look to Misty* and you're edging into TMI land. keep it up, people, and you'll get a day by day detailed description of my last period. *chews more rabbit food spiced with dead bird*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: Joshua's comment draws a sputtering laugh from her, as she nearly chokes on the water she was about to drink.

Joshua Coil: *He smirks again. He was getting better at this. Oooh... food. His eyes widen hungrily.*

Surly: *snerks softly into her tea before taking a healthy swallow. it's cool enough to chug now*

Misty Greymoore: She just grins, eyes on chocolate cake and cream. She taps her pentacle a few times in thought, then nods and begins eating

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She sets the water down, and she looks at Joshua with a wide, lopsided grin. "You, my tall, dark, and gun-toting friend, just saved yourself from ever having to see Battlefied Earth. Congratulations. I'll give you the door prize later."

Joshua Coil: I'll... *He pauses.* I'll take that as a compliment? *Mmmmh... near undercooked burger. He takes a large bite from the red meat. Messy eater.*

Surly: *eyebrows arch as she eats* you people are freaks. *smirks*

Misty Greymoore: Swallow. Sip of milk. And a smug smile "Got the cream. With everything they were saying" A delicate dab of her lips "I thought I'd avoid the fish"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Thank you, Surly." She grins, taking it quite sincerely as a compliment, and digs iinto the chili burger.

Surly: *snerks at Reyna. and gives Misty a puzzled look* fish? where? ((*sings* cluuuuue free! miss Surly is cluuuuuuuue freeeee!))

Joshua Coil: *He goes quiet as absolute lust lights up his eyes. Rare burger=heaven. And bacon. What person DOESN'T like bacon?*

Surly: *finishes her salad and settles back to sip down her tea, eyes half closed. almost brooding*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks up at Joshua and smirks a little bit. She knows that look...neeeever get between the man and his uncooked meat.

Misty Greymoore: Eating quickly, possessively, and again, dabbing her lips when done. Neat. No crumbs. She does, though, remove a compact and gloss, and peer into the former, reapply the latter

Surly: *tea'sgone. stretches, refusing to allow herself to wince* all right. workout, done. spar, bonus. food, eaten. tea, drunk. next, shower. i'm gone. any naming of underwear until the next time any of us meet, i don't need to know about. *smirks and rises, tossing money onto the table. enogh to pay for the drinks, and her and Joshs' food. surprisingly, there's enough extra for a nice tip* play rough and don't forget to hide the bodies.

Joshua Coil: *He blinks, and wipes his mouth with the back of his hand.* I was gonna pay for food.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I always play rough, and I never forget about the bodies." She nods to Surly with a grin. "Good seein' ya."

Surly: *smirks at Josh* pay for theirs, Kaffee. *a short laugh to Reyna* good call. maybe we'll spar soon, too. *vest on. duffel and boombox snagged* gute Nacht, sonderbare Leute. *spills out the German as if she's a native speaker and heads for the door.

Joshua Coil: Uhh... *He starts, but scarfs down his burger. Licking off his fingers.*

Surly: ((*chuckles* good night, wierd people, for the curious.))

Misty Greymoore: Between re-applying lipgloss, she sings out something, trailing and lilting, and if they've seen LotR, they'd recognise the sound. A fingerwave to Surly

Surly: *grunts at the wave and slides out the door, giving an incoming twentyish psuedoyuppie a snarl on the way out. he looks rather startled by the sound....*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Night, hon!)) She glances it Misty. "Dude. Don't EVEN tell me you know Elvish."

Misty Greymoore: "Of course not" She sips her milk "I don't speak a word of Sindarin"

Joshua Coil: *He frowns at that.* Elvish?

Surly: ((*hugs all around* night, gang. *G* this was fun! hope to see ya'll soon.... *snags cat. uses for pillow. sleeps*))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Was that...you sure it was Sindarin? It sounded more Quenya to me..." She shrugs. "Not an expert, though."

Misty Greymoore: "Heh" She grins "Like I said. I don't speak a -word- of Sindarin"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She lokos to Joshua and grins. "Tolkeinian stuff, hon. PLEASE tell me you saw at least one of the Lord of the Rings films at some point..."

Misty Greymoore: "Actually, please say you haven't. _I_ have extended viedos of them, and I might be persuaded to lend them" Brightly "Or we -could- just watch them ... if you've twelve hours or so"

Joshua Coil: *He blinks.* I ... read the first book? And I think I saw a cartoon once.

Misty Greymoore: A finger points. And laughed, heels clicking as feet drum on the floor "Heratic!"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Oh. OH. OHHHH!" She gapes at Joshua. "When you get off your second job, we are SO sitting down and watching them..."

Joshua Coil: I need sleep, though, *he says, and an arched eyebrow.* I'm sure we can find SOMETHING else to do to pass the time, right?

Misty Greymoore: "Sounds like he's after a deal to me" Grinning

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: That gives her pause, and she smiles. "All right. Wait...we're still watching them at some point, right? You've distracted me, and my mind's cerfuzzled now."

Joshua Coil: I guess we are. At some point. But after work I think I'll need to go to bed.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Mmm, promises, promises." She grins a little, and nods. "A'ight."

Misty Greymoore: She stands, taking her coat and slipping arms through. Buttoning "And it seems as though you two" Speaking lazily "Have some films and ceilings to watch. Do tell me about them afterwards"

Joshua Coil: Actually, I have work to do for a few hours. It's my shift. *He puts the money down, and checks his watch.* I'll see you later? It was nice meeting you, Misty.

Misty Greymoore: "You might" A little fingerwave, then tugging her gloves on "Or you might not. You might be crushed by a tank. But you're right; it was nice to meet me" That smug smile "And you both"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Mmm. See you later, hon." She leans over, arm sliding around him to take a quick kiss. "Have fun. Play nice."

Misty Greymoore: Parasol retrieved! Shouldered, as she clacks out

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A wave to Misty, too, as she heads out.

Joshua Coil: *He returns it.* Always do, *he says with a small smile.* Take your own advice. *He stands up again, and walks out of the restaurant.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I'll try." She grins as she watches Joshua leave, and then rises up, leaving herself a few minutes later.
