Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: He walks
over to the cannon, kicking it once eyes dup to the line of fire, a crazy look
in his eye as he looks up to where it is aiming...He jumps back hands moving to
his face...all he needs is gunpowder. He stands straight grinning like a manic,
a small snort to a passer by hwho stared just to damn long.
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: ((dup=up))
Meg Psiharis [Night]: "Hey!" calls a
feminine voice a little way away. Perhaps a little annoyed? Well, meant to grab
attention from him, anyway. It's coming from the direction of the nearest
railing, and is starkly absent of the 'typical' New Yorker twang.
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: His head spins
round eyes looking about, grinning still "Knock, knock?"
Meg Psiharis [Night]: Standing at a full
5'2", Meg is fairly average for a youth. Summer has left her with a natural,
deep tan that remains warm under all but flourescent light. Her dark brown hair
waves and curls and frizzes down to just past her shoulderblades, all but
bursting with highlights in the sunlight - red, and gold. Get close enough and
you can see how much gold shines in her brown eyes, brought to the surface in
that same daylight. Broad shoulders and a reasonably petite frame still can't
mark her as especially feminine - not with the careless hair, the concealing
thrift store clothes, and certainly not with the dreamy, introverted air. Studs
pierce her ears three times each, though other jewelry comes and goes, including
an endless supply of woven string or hemp bracelets. For now however, she wears
bronze cuffs over her wrists, and a leather cuff studded in sea shells above her
left elbow. Despite the weather and the dropping temperatures at night, she
wears no jacket - only a small, aged summer camp tee she may have had for years
now, and it shows. Her jeans are looser than is fashionable, and have actually
earned they fading and fraying - a very rare sight these days. She doesn't
really look punk. Just one of the hundreds of thousands of broke kids.
Meg Psiharis [Night]: She raises a hand
and waves in his general direction. Get this - she's standing on the railing,
balancing there for the hell of it. "Guy! You'll lose a fuckin' leg that way!"
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: He snorts in
her direction raising a finger to her "And who the fuck are you, Junior Cannon
control!"
Meg Psiharis [Night]: "No! I'm here to
present Darwin awards!" she calls back with a grin. She could as well paint the
picture for youthful arrogance.
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: He grins
putting his hands around his mouth regardless of the folks walking by "Who the
fuck is Darwin and did I win?"
Meg Psiharis [Night]: She grins, a
laughing look and, apparently in a -friendly- gesture, raises both fingers to
him in a teenaged salute. "He's the stuffy bastard that gives an award for death
by stupid!"
William Halloran: The giant is out for a
good night's walk...and from the looks of it, he may have seen better days. His
froward has a bandage across it, and his right arm is heavily taped up as he
makes his way into Battery Park, smoking a cigarette.
Big and scary. Those are the two best words to describe the man standing there.
Standing a touch over seven feet tall, and easily weighing over 400 pounds, the
man pretty much defines the saying “I wouldn’t want to meet HIM in a dark
alley!” His hair, a dark brown, is just a little too long to be considered
short, and is worn combed straight back, revealing his face...and that’s not a
good thing. The right side of his face is distorted and misshapen, looking
somewhat caved in at the cheekbone, as if from an old wound. The eye above is
perpetually bloodshot, though the original green reflected in the other eye
struggles to show through. He’s dressed in a T-Shirt advertising New York City
Wrestling, a huge pair of blue jeans, and size 17 boots. His gaze is
surprisingly gentle for someone as intimidating as he is, and the look he gives
off indicates...loneliness, pehaps? ((Fame 2: Check Who's Who for Details))
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: He starts
walking over, thumb stuck through belt ""Says the chick thats balancing on the
railings, you got spunk!"
Meg Psiharis [Night]: She grins, bobs a
shrug, and glances aside before hopping down to the ground. Her chucks have seen
a couple of years worth of better days, and are busily on their last. "I've got
older brothers. They're bigger than you." She doesn't really offer her hand.
She's just...warm. Not even so much disarming. Just warm. Her smile beams, and
the scents are stronger on her - the laundry smell, the peach shampoo, the
warmth pushes it out away from her. "I'm Meg. Hi."
Meg Psiharis [Night]:
d10: Wits: 2,2,6,
Meg Psiharis [Night]: A pause, and she
stands on tiptoe to squint over the blonde man's shoulder. Unplucked brows
furrow gently together. "Holy shit, isn't that...uhm... crap, I know this.
Serious, no joke - over there, guy? Jolly fuckoff giant?"
William Halloran: He looks up as he walks
along, eyes passing over the duo that he seems to be approaching. Punk and
teenager...he raises a brow and watches them as he walks along.
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: He sniffs the
air twice at her scent then looks at her a moment possibly trying to see if it a
boy or a girl. "Meg....right....thats nice....what are you like 12, good work!"
He sticks his thumb up, she had spirit
Meg Psiharis [Night]: She grins again - it
seems a warm gesture on her tan face - and waves to Tall Dark and Intimidating
as if he were not.
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: He looks over
her shoulder eyes homing in on William, looking him over with an impressed look
"Fuck me, I bet he hits hard, I wonder if he wants a fight!"
Meg Psiharis [Night]: "Thirteen," she
corrects, amused. "Call me Meggie, and I'll introduce your face to the pavement,
friend. So hey, who're you?" Ah, the casual and laughable threats of physical
violence over silly childish nicknames. She really -is- thirteen.
William Halloran: He nods to Meg, giving
Bruce a wary gaze as he gets closer. "Heya," he says in his deep baritone, heavy
Bronx accent.
Meg Psiharis [Night]: "Don't bother.
That's Sa...no, Shaitan, I think. My brother's in to wrestling, and he's some
big time for the little league types. Which means it's stupidly brutal just to
get past the fact that they need to keep a rabid real-life fan base. He'd chew
you up to pieces, slim."
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: He looks round
eye meeting hers "You got spunk Meg, but let me give you a hint, you can't take
me, so don't even act like you could....Am Spitfire!"
Meg Psiharis [Night]: "Yo," she greets the
big man with a casual cheerfulness. It's not really annoying, exactly. It just
makes her seem somewhat puppy-ish, not too hard a stretch from wide brown puppy
eyes after all.
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: He looks about
him, what fucked up set did he walk on too, 'rebellious all American girl on his
left', 'big don't fuck with me but am a puppy dog honest' on his right and here
was him. He chuckles to himself and looks to William "Who the hell are you, I
know your face?"
William Halloran: ((Gaah. Deep BASS. Troy's
the baritone...Will's the bass.)) A raised eyebrow and a frown to Bruce, as he
talks shit to Meg. Some asshole's always gotta make themselves sound big. He
looks away from the punk, over to Meg. "S'up"
William Halloran: Aaand back to Bruce. "Musta
seen one-a my shoot interviews. M'a wrestler...Shaitan, here in NYCW. Bill
Halloran outa the mask."
Meg Psiharis [Night]: "Oooh." She
waggles her fingers at him in the mock-spooky way. "I'm so terrified! Your
bleach! Your safety pins! Gasp!" Ah, mockery as banter. In an exaggerated
feminine pose, her arms cross over her chest, fingers just barely touching her
inward-curving shoulders. This rests above a hurt and vulnerable looking pout -
at least she makes a good mimic.
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: He looks at
them both, just grinning away, looking at them, such a sad bunch but from the
insult Meg seems to get his attention "Am sorry Miss America, or is it Mr?"
Meg Psiharis [Night]: Oh, the look falls
away. Her eyes narrow, and there's half a grin. Sure she can see the humor in
it, but she's still flipping him off again. ...Oddly, all ten of her fingernails
are both bitten down to stubs, and bruised in a fading purple-black under the
nail. It's healing. Just, well.. slowly.
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: Wrestler!
Bruces grin widens, OHMYGOD...what a dare, what a set-up, him verse Shaitain,
one of those hell things, with the wire! They would go crazy!
William Halloran: He stands there, arms
crossing over his shoulders after the cigarette butt is flicked away, watching
the two. A frown mars his features...he seems to be looking almost protectively
after Meg, despite not knowing her. Silly giant.
Meg Psiharis [Night]: Meg seems to have a
thick skin for insults, untroubled by either presence. She just never lets
either of them face her back. She's the energetic type of kid, that much is
easily apparent, and despite the ungodly cold of the season, she seems genuinely
untroubled for neglecting to bring a jacket. "So hey," she begins, looking up up
uuuup to the smashy-face wrestler. "this is the kind of thing mister big bad and
woogy does on his free time?" Her smile is easygoing. Again, it could best be
described as warm - her look is warm. Certainly, it's not -pretty- and won't be
for several years yet to come.
William Halloran: "Who, him or me?" He
shrugs. "I dunno 'bout him...I ain't usually big on startin' fights in
parks...but I ain't big on lettin' others start 'em, either, if ya know what I'm
sayin'."
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: He looks to
Meg then 'Bill' with the Mr Big Bad and Woogy line' grin turning into an actual
smile, he seems to be amused.
Meg Psiharis [Night]: "No offense, but
that sounds so funny coming from you." She's trying and failing to stifle down a
grin. Her cheeks are growing pink with unvoiced laughter. "I mean seriously,
Andy's gone on and -on- about some of your matches. It's pretty surreal to
actually see you face to face - let alone hear anything close to non-violence.
He wouldn't shut up about your match from a few weeks ago for like...three
-days-. He only stopped because I tackled him and didn't let him breathe for a
while."
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: He looks to
Bill "You want a fight?" He makes it sound like all Bills idea, shaking his head
like he was 'almost' disgusted but grins "Who is starting fights now Bill?"
William Halloran: He says nothing...just
fixes Bruce with a look that absolutely screams "You don't wanna go there,
fucker."
William Halloran:
d10: Char+Intimidation-WP: 2,3,5,6,7,8,
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason:
d10: Willpower: 9,5,7,8,8,3,5,
Meg Psiharis [Night]: Meg makes a face -
not a wince, but the 'uh oh' that sets her jaw and pulls her lips apart and
down. Breath hisses in between her teeth. "Hey, woah, yeah hi. Yeah, you're
guys. If you gotta do the pissing contest, there are like.. bathrooms. Over
yonder. Don't go whipping out the egos here in front of my virgin eyes."
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: He meets that
gaze not backing down for a second smirking in fact "Don't you get agro real
fast, got to learn to stick it in low gear Bill!"
William Halloran: His frown deepens. "I
ain't startin' shit here. He's the one who's all up in my face. Just tryin' to
go about a night-walk."
William Halloran: His eyes, the green and
blood-shot mismatch, don't stray an inch from Bruce.
Meg Psiharis [Night]: "Hey, yo. Calm down
before a little girl beats you with the logic stick." She goes to elbow Bruce
lightly, more a nudge than anything else.
Meg Psiharis [Night]: "...Is that too
kinky for me to be allowed to say for the next five years?" she wonders aloud,
looking toward the sky as if for her real answer to this question.
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: He looks into
them eyes and see's what he wanted, suddenly backing down, not submissive as
such just almost like it wasn't the right time, he grins talking like they were
old freinds "I like you Bill."
William Halloran: ((Shit...I have to go
right now, guys, sorry. Bill just shoots Bruce a look and wanders off.))
Bruce 'Spitfire' Freemason: ((NP, hope
all is good Rav!))
Meg Psiharis [Night]: (( Eek! Have a nice
time! ))
Meg Psiharis [Night]: "Cool," she notes as
the would-be fight breaks down just that easily. The girl waves a goodbye to the
intimidating wrestler, again as if he weren't.
