Joshua Coil: *He walks, looking up to the sky, with almost a suspicious look. Surprisingly calm, and quite relaxed.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She walks into Battery Park at Joshua's side, pulling a cigarette as she does. The Latina woman is walking with a little grin on her face, close to the man, in the usual duster, with a turtleneck and jeans. The steel-toed Docs are, as always, there. She's chuckling as they walk along, coffee in one hand...she's picked it up fully as an addiction now, rather then a half-assed one. Dangers of living with Mr. Coil, it appears. She glances his way, and up to the sky with a smirk. "She's hiding."

Joshua Coil: *His hands are tucked into his coat pockets.* It's a nice night, *he mutters.*

Joshua Coil: *His head swivels to her, and a small, almost fond smirk touches his lips.* Not completely. Not for a few more days.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "So says the man from Cold-N-Rainyland." She grins. "One thing I've never gotten used to...me, I still kinda miss 50-60 degree November nights." She nods. "And I didn't say she was totally succeeding yet, hon. Just tryin'." A glance up to the sliver of light above them, and she nods to it.

Izzy Malloy: *You would never suspect... She's poking around all her favorite spots, and tonight's happens to be here, now. Her Red Sox cap is pulled tight, the bill obscuring her face somewhat*

Joshua Coil: I miss the cold, somewhat. At least it was regular. *He almost smiles. It's there, WAITING to come out for an important occasion.* And it's not raining yet.

Izzy Malloy: d10: : 4,1,2,3,7,6,

Izzy Malloy: *A tilt of her head, squinting slightly into the street light darkness. With a crooked little grin, she hefts the camp-pack burdening her shoulders, and hikes over towards the two of them*

Joshua Coil: d10: per+alert: 4,2,1,1,7,

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "True...the lack of rain is nice." She winks to him and chuckles...a sip of caffeine, a drag of nicotine.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: d10: Per+Alert: 3,10,8,9,5,3,

Joshua Coil: *He flinches slightly, as his words are proven wrong, and a raindrop hits him in the eye.* Son of a BITCH, *he mutters, and rubs his eye with the back of his hand.*

Izzy Malloy: *Sort of gruff voice* Eidder uv you gots some spare change?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She glances over at Izzy as she approaches, offering the other woman a nod.

Joshua Coil: Might have some, *he grunts,* change from the coffee, and... *He pauses, trying to place the voice.*

Joshua Coil: d10: Int: 7,10,

Joshua Coil: Wait a minute... Izzy?

Izzy Malloy: *Lifts the bill of her hat, grinning sharply at Joshua* Allo guv'nah! Imagine findin' yew 'ere! *Mmmm, Oliver Twist-y*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks beween the two, brow raising a little bit, curiously...still smiling, of course. At ease.

Joshua Coil: Imagine finding you. What the hell happened? You sorta fell off the face of the earth. *He turns to look at her, still flinching at the one damned raindrop that dared defy his allmighty word that it did not rain.*

Izzy Malloy: *A nod to Reyna* Hi there, ur... *Rolls her eyes* ...Shit, I fergot your name... *Looks to Josh* Oh, I hit th'road is all. Went to Atlantic City, then Detroit... Then Iowa and Missouri. Ever seen the world's largest ball of twine? Impressive stuff. *Sniff*

Izzy Malloy: [brb, installing new version of firefox]

Izzy Malloy: [Okay, there we go]

Joshua Coil: *He looks back to Reyna.* This is Reyna. Reyna... Izzy. We met a while back. She's family.

Izzy Malloy: *She turns to Reyna, smiling. Offers a hand*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Izzy...that's right." She nods to her with a smile. "S'up, chica? Long time."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: The hand is accepted with a friendly shake.

Izzy Malloy: Nada lot, just, yanno, gettin' reaccquainted with the hive of scum an' villany.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "We must be cautious." She grins to Izzy and starts humming the Mos Eisley theme.

Izzy Malloy: *A soft snicker, looking between them* So, how da hell've tings been?

Joshua Coil: Gaia made two of 'em, *he grunts.*

Joshua Coil: Good, *he says with a nod, perking up slightly.* They've been... very good.

Izzy Malloy: Joshua: I'm one of a kind, babe. *A sniff* Y'know, your buddies in Motown are some real cocksuckin' bastards. 'ja know dat? Was kinda a surprise...

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Good's a good word for it." She nods in agreement to Joshua, exhaling a drag of smoke.

Izzy Malloy: Ohyah? Whazzup?

Joshua Coil: I'm not surprised, *He says sincerely. A smile. Does he smile?*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks betwen them, head cocked to the side at the Motown discussion, before looking back to Izzy. "You know New York, Iz. Fulla surprises."

Joshua Coil: Not all of them bad, *he agrees with Reyna.*

Izzy Malloy: Reyna: Yeah, but I JUS' got back, so ain' like I'm 'zactly clued in yet as t' recent news... *A pause* Hey, nice tits by th'way.

Joshua Coil: Thanks, *he says to Izzy.* I've been told they're small.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "But well-developed," she says to Joshua in a comforting tone, as she pats his arm. A smirk, and she looks back. "Too much to detail in one sitting, I think. Or in this case, one standing...especially here." She looks up to Joshua. "Somewhere to sit and chat, maybe?"

Izzy Malloy: Josh: I was talk... *Blink. Swat*

Joshua Coil: *He smiles.* Coffee?

Joshua Coil: *He smiles a bit wider at Izzy's swat.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Coffee." She nods, holding up the near-empty cup. "I'm almost out."

Izzy Malloy: *Huffs, crossing her arms*

Joshua Coil: I'll buy you dinner, *he offers Izzy.* And we'll sit down to talk, get caught up. *He looks back to Reyna.* And you too, I guess. *He smiles. He's teasing.*

Izzy Malloy: Alright. But nothing too expensive. *She sniffs* And dis don' mean I'm puttin' out!

Joshua Coil: No worries, *he says sincerely.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Oh, such a gentleman, you are." She rolls her eyes in an amused, good-natured manner. "Sounds like a plan."

Izzy Malloy: *She smirks*

Joshua Coil: *He looks back to Reyna.* Waht? You get first dibs. *He looks up, and follows his nose to coffee.* ((DT Restaurant?))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She laughs at that, and leans into Joshua a little, as they head off for the coffee.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Sure!))

BATTERY CAFE

Smithy: *its either dead or asleep. white zombie eyes staring glazed at nothing in particular. a fly lands on her head. nope. no movement from smithy*

Joshua Coil: d10: per+alert: 5,2,9,3,8,

Smithy: *what. did the french fries come from france now? what was taaaaaaaaking so loooooong! it continues that blank stare*

Joshua Coil: *Huh. Dead chick? He knows that dead chick. He pauses, before entering, and walks over casually. He pokes her with a toe.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: d10: Per+Alert: 7,6,4,4,3,8,

Smithy: *the familiar rachetting noise of a gun being cocked. her eyes remain glazed and unfocussed just past him*. Wtf n00b. Chickenshit. joo ran off. *tattooed lips are the only thing that seem to move. how does she... not have.. to blink?*

Izzy Malloy: d10: per + alert: 7,8,7,3,9,8,

Izzy Malloy: *She eyeballs the woman... who is apparently strange even by izzy standards*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks over at Smithy as they enter, brow raising. She knows that dead chick too. Especially her guns. She moves along at Joshua's side, head cocked to the side a little.

Joshua Coil: I also didn't turn you into shredded meat and silicone. I thought you'd thank me for the favour.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She blinks, as Smithy speaks...a brow raising and a grin forming over her face. "Ran off, my ass..."

Izzy Malloy: Sumptin I otter know?

Devi Hanover: (Open scene?)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno -> Devi Hanover: ((Long as you put the Playtesting in your tag, yes. *S*))

Smithy: Big talk from Big Bad Wolf. *she smirks, whirring into slow action with a metallic twang from her ribs as she gears up for action* Not joo chupacabra. joo just wom cause i brought out the soft gun.... *a cock of her head back to the sever* NpcN00b! joo bring me my hp up or I'm going to filch it for your inventory!

Smithy: (for=from)

Joshua Coil: ((Yesh!)) *He snorts slightly.* Can't you ever speak... normally? And NOT shoot people?

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I won, 'cause you lost." She smirks. "Deal with it." She looks to Izzy and shrugs a little. "Just a nutbag. Crazier then me, even."

Joshua Coil: Honey, no one's crazier than you, *he says, rather listlessly to Reyna.*

Devi Hanover [PT]: The man pushes open the door to the restuarant and steps inside solidly. He has today's paper folded under an arm, and looks very cold. He shakes some snow off his shoulders, and looks around to see what kind of place this was.

Devi Hanover [PT]: DD: He's a balding african american between the ages of twenty five to thirty. He's wearing a worn, dark leather jacket, and green khakis with large pockets on the sides. He's definitely on the heavier side, and could stand to lose about eighty pounds of extra weight. His hands and feet are large and bulky, and his neck is the same width as his head. His entire body is shaped like a barrel. His face isn't the prettiest thing to look at, but he gives off the impression that if you leave him alone, he'll do the same for you. His head is shaved, and his eyes are clear-sighted and unnervingly focused. He has a presence about him, like he's a rock that doesn't like to be moved. When it does move, its because it wanted to, not because you pushed it.

Smithy: *a yawn and a shake of her head, bare tittied wonder getting a glare from the waitress as she moves over. granted. this means whoever sits where she was sitting will be sitting in a smear of blood*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "True enough. Some folks are more insane, though."

Joshua Coil: Coffee, *he says, suddenly, and turns to the restaurant. He opens the door. And still, he watches Smithy. Not QUITE trusting.*

Izzy Malloy: *Still looking ar Smithie as if she were witnessing a contortionist performing a cranial-rectal inversion. Follows Joshin*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Caffeine, yes." She gives Smithy, perhaps, the warmest reaction of the three...a wink and a cocky little smirk, before moving away with her party.

Smithy: (((summary of smithy - Freak. Elaborate costumey hair in silver green and indigo. Long purple coatwith a mushroom/gear on the back. tattooes of circuits across her fake breasts and all along her face. breasts exposed. bloody bandages wrapped beneath them.. white colorless eyes. Huge heavy black boots. And dirty olive army pants with many pockets. Age - mid 20's? appearance 2 - uncanny 2 - notoriety 1 - Fame 2. (ping if you're a gunbunny, terrorist, mobster, armsdealer, etc... or high ranking fbi agent)))

Smithy: *she cranks her head sideways, watching them move away. twats. wait till she had silver. a smirk as she receives her food, another glare from the waitress met with a minigun laugh. now to drown everything in ketchup*

Devi Hanover [PT]: A large bulbous eye takes the place in, while the other remains a narrow squint. He decides he will be sitting at the table near the heater, today. He moves his body toward the table there, and sits down slowly, stiff from his day at work. He unfolds his paper on the table with a grunt, and waits for the waitress to come by to ask for his order.

Joshua Coil: I think that woman's going to kill me one day, *he mutters.* Hopefully it's after coffee.

Izzy Malloy: Joshua: Yer too dumb to die. *Pats his shoulder*

Joshua Coil: *He looks over to Izzy.* Why do I keep forgetting that?

Smithy: *ketchup liberally applied, she reaches her arms above her head, and with a series of pops and creaks and twangs and elated squeak noises, her back is cracked*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She glances over at Devi, brow raising a little, before looking back to Joshua. "She can't...not allowed. That's my job, hon. After all, I am the Queen of 'Will Be the Death of Me'-Ville."

Joshua Coil: No, I meant she'd be responsible for my unpleasant death, *he says sincerely.*

Devi Hanover [PT]: He squints his stark white eyes at the paper, reading the fine text. The noise from that other table was distracting. It was hard not to pick up the gist of their conversation.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Oh. Well, in that case..." She looks back to Smithy, then over to Josh. "I'll kill her first?"

Joshua Coil: Then I can die happy, *he says with a nod.* I think it works. I know you'll have the politeness to wait till after coffee.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She grins widely at that. "Eeeexcellent..."

Smithy: *fries are eaten, grimey blood and dirt caked fingers shoving them into her mouth roboticly. she's on autofeed*

Joshua Coil: I think thirty. Thirty's a good, noble age.

Izzy Malloy: Yeah, we could like, totally stuff the body into the grill of a truck. S'not dat hard, just gotta know how to fold it.

Devi Hanover [PT]: Violent, arn't they? He peers up at them for a moment, one bulbous eye going wide, and then returns to his paper once again.

Joshua Coil: *He chuckles at that, the odd rasping noise that it is.* And on that note, I've got to go. Business to attend to.

Smithy: """Client 345.234.23.185 has logged on""" *its said in a robotic voice from somewhere in smithy's person. maybe in the coat.The mad-woman stands up with a nod to no one, tongues her teeth, and deposits her Fries on Devi's table, with a mad face breaking grin* Eat up fat-bot.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Awww....a'ight." She gives a mock pout, which quickly vanishes into a grin. She reaches over to hug Joshua. "See you later, hon."

Devi Hanover [PT]: He leans back in his seat with a indignant look on his face, as if she was disturbing something in his little world. He stares at the woman oddly.

Joshua Coil: See you at home, *he agrees, and he returns the hug, with a brief press of lips. He draws back, and looks over to Izzy.* Good seeing you again, *he says with a nod.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She returns the kiss and grins, winking to him. "Can't wait, hon. See you later. Don't do anything I wouldn't do."

Smithy: Feag joo later n00bs. *and with a shove of her fries across the table at Devi, she clunks out, barebreasted freakshow off to the bunny hole*

Joshua Coil: Which narrows it down to badgers, *he says with a shrug. He waves, and waggles fingers to Smithy, before exiting the cafe.*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Point." He watches Joshua leave, then gives a nod to Smithy on her way out, with a good-natured "Kick your ass later!" tossed to the topless woman.

Devi Hanover [PT]: He pushes the fries away with a blank stare, and goes back to reading the paper. He scratches his left moob with his index finger, and slumps down in his seat to wait for the waitress.

Smithy: *a grimey middle finger and a berretta laugh, and she's out into the night air*

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks away from Smithy, back to Izzy. "Guess it's just us, then, eh? Girl's Night Out Kinda Thing?" She winks to the other.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Ooooor not. DLP)) She sighs a little bit, and takes her coffee, moving toward a seat. A glance goes to Devi as she walks by.

Devi Hanover [PT]: The waitress walks up with a girlish swing of the hips. "Would you like a menu?" He holds up a finger and slowly turns his barrel of a neck toward her. "I'll have green tea. And a hamburger. Onions. Ketchup. Pickles. Jack cheese. That's all." She nods perkily and struts away. Devi raises a brow at Reyna as she walks past.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: A nod to Devi, and she takes a seat nearby, slumping in and sipping at her coffee.

Devi Hanover [PT]: He goes back to his paper, casting a glance even once and a while toward the woman over at the other table.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks up to him and grins a little bit. Only other person in the place...might as well say hello. "Hola."

Devi Hanover [PT]: "Hola." He looks up suspiciously. "Hi there." He's slouched over the table with his paper, openly staring at her with a look that says, I have no idea who you are, but for some reason you're talking to me, and I have no idea why.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She grins a little bit. "Sorry if I'm intrudin'. Just thought I'd say hi. No one else to talk to."

Devi Hanover [PT]: He glances around the place quickly. "Huh. Guess not." His voice is a deeply slurred rumble. "Just you and me." He thinks about what he just said, and then looks away from the woman and out the window at the bitter cold night. It was still snowing large flakes that were trying to stick to the window.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Nope." The grin becomes a smirk, and she leans in. "Wise move, by the way, in not goin' with lettuce. Your stomach and bowels'll thank you later."

Devi Hanover [PT]: "Tina wants me on a diet. She's got people watching me so good I can't eat nuthin' without them knowing. Sometimes a man needs something else, you know?" As if on cue, the waitress places the small burger in front of him, along with the green tea, and walks away.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Yeah...I know that one." She grins faintly, and glancs out the window before looking back. "Tina the wife or the girlfriend?"

Devi Hanover [PT]: He focuses his strangely intense gaze right at her. "The sister. One of the youngest of the family."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Ahh. Big family?"

Devi Hanover [PT]: "Big enough. What do you got?"

Devi Hanover [PT]: His speech is slow and iron strong, completely confident of what he should be doing.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Just me." She shrugs. "Dad's still around, but I don't see him more then maybe once a year."

Devi Hanover [PT]: "Well, count your blessings where you can find them." He smiles like a preacher spinkling hope on the masses.

Devi Hanover [PT]: (sprinking*)

Devi Hanover [PT]: (gah, sprinkling. Hits keyboard.)

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She looks at him a little bit, then shakes her head, chuckling. Her eyes go out the window, and she sips at her coffe.

Devi Hanover [PT]: The snow starts to slow as he eats his burger. "You from New York?"

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "I'm a New Yorker, but I ain't a native, no."

Devi Hanover [PT]: He nods, like that meant something important to him. He hovers over his cup of tea. His burger was done. His eyes glance around the room occasionally, and their focus and clarity is startling.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Feel better?" She grins, noting the return of some vibrancy to the man.

Devi Hanover [PT]: "Yeah. It's good to get out of the house." He folds his paper up neatly with his thick hands and pushes it towards the wall. "Clears the senses, let's me think."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "So whatcha thinkin' about?" Her head cocks to the side curiously, lopsided grin playing over her lips.

Devi Hanover [PT]: He stares out the window. "Nuthin'. I got nothing to think about. What you think about? I bet you know all kinds of stuff from outside the city."

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: "Outside the city?" She raises a brow. "You mean from living somewhere other then here?"

Devi Hanover [PT]: He nods slowly.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She chuckles and shakes her head. "Hate to tell ya...but there ain't nothin' more to think about out there then there is in here."

Devi Hanover [PT]: He smiles optimisticly with a wide grin. "I don't know about that. Haha..." She's lyin', or she don't know the truth.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She smirks; something about his grin is found amusing to her. She shakes her head and shrugs, finishing up her coffee. "Well, been nice meeting you...whatever your name is." She rises from the table.

Devi Hanover [PT]: "You too, stranger." He sips his coffee and watches her walk away with a focused gaze. Then he just closes his eyes and rests. It was a tough day. It always is.

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: She smirks and moves out, pushing the door open and slipping away.

Devi Hanover [PT]: ((Thanks for the scene!))

Reyna Varinia Reiruno: ((Thanks. :) ))
