Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: ((INDIGO!))

Lucien Bourikas: (Why am I not surprised? I think you get to the room, post then suggest the room. Anything to achieve your coveted color :P)

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: ((No, I don't, but thanks, that's a GREAT Idea!))

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: He gets out of the Cherokee, heading to the rather ratty-looking pool hall. "There's some tough characters in here, so don't you know, swish your hips or anything." He smirks back at his packmate. "The biker chicks might dig you, though."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: ~And there are, indeed, several Harleys parked around the area.~

Lucien Bourikas: He gives Corbin a raised eyebrows look. "I don't swish my hips, and I am not entirely sure this place doesn't harbor some infectious disease just waiting to attack the innocent. It looks rather like a dive to me... where did you come across it?" He glances around the area just a bit warily.

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "It's not THAT bad. Me and Nathaniel brought Morgane once, even. There was no trouble."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: Other than her cheating with her fucked-up powers. A momentary shadow passes over his face, but he turns away to conceal his sudden change of mood, walking into the pool hall.

Lucien Bourikas: Now he gives Corbin an astonished look. "You brought Morgane here? To this... hole in the water biker spot? Do you have any idea what they might have done to a lady like her?"

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "Relax, cowboy. It was in her PL days. "Pre-Lucien. It's not like we actually brought your fiance here. We played pool." He looks around with satisfaction.

Lucien Bourikas: Wearing black jeans, black shirt and the a dark brown suede jacket he doesn't look uptown, but his mannerisms and voice might make him stand out a bit in a dive.

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: OOC> remove quotes between days and Pre-Lucien

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: ~Today's t-shirt is Anti-Nowhere League. With blue jeans.~

Lucien Bourikas: "Pool? I remember playing it a few times, it's a game that usually gets people talking, makes them relax." He looks around the room as they enter. "I suppose it was not that bad then, as long as you both watched over her."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "We'll have to wait for an empty table." He walks over and sits down. The table he sits at has numerous glass rings on it, and some food bits. "They sell sausages and fries, if you're interested."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "I'm okay at pool. A little shaky, but not completely rotten. How about you?" he asks casually.

Lucien Bourikas: "I've played before, a few times in my travels," He frowns at the spots on the table. "I think I'll say myself some indigestion, and leave their culinary items off, thank you."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: The door is pushed open, and in Aerin walks. The man's looking...quite good, really. Clean-shaven, hair back in a pony-tail, even maybe a little bit rested. Adren suits him, for the moment, at least. He rolls his shoulders, adjusting the trench coat on his body, and pops a cigarette into his mouth as he makes his way in, looking around.

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "I think they've brought themselves up to code after their violations. It's not *that* bad. I'm gonna get a warmed Dr. P, but if you want a real drink, you'll have to go to the bar yourself. They might not sell to me."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: He glances over as the door opens and grins, giving Aerin a wave. Friendlier than under the last circumstances.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He looks over, his eyes falling on Corbin and Lucian, and he tilts his chin upward in greeting to them. The smoke is lit, and he makes his way over in their direction. "Evening, gentlemen. How are you?"

Lucien Bourikas: "What violationgs?" He glances across the room and makes a huffing sound. "Perhaps they have something in a bottle I could purchase. I'll get our drinks." He stands up and heads to the bar.

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: Lucien: "It was just a few rats and roaches. Nothing to worry about." He grins at Aerin. "Pretty good. We're waiting for a table."

Lucien Bourikas: He notices Corbin's wave before he leaves, and turns to spot Aerin. He gives him a respectful nod of his head. "Good evening... Aerin." For just a moment, the oh-so-proper Gallaird almost said Rhya.

Lucien Bourikas: He makes a face at the thought of rats and roaches, and vows again not to eat here, or drink anything not in a can or bottle. He looks to Aerin, "Interested in braving anything from the bar?"

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Cool," he says with a nod to Corbin, drag of smoke exhaled through his nose. Lucien gets a smile and a nod. "Should be fun to watch. What's new with you two?"

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Just a water for now. I'm still learning to maneuver on my bike, and I don't need alcohol making it even more of a challenge. Thanks, though."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: Aerin: He makes a face. "Did you hear Natey's bike got torched? By our little 'friend' Alecia's friends. He had just had it customized, too."

Lucien Bourikas: He moves to the bar, ordering a warmed DP, a beer in bottle or a can if they didn't have the bottle, and a glass of water, watching to make sure the two drinks in glasses weren't tampered with.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Yeah, I heard." He sighs. "We're going to be ramping up on that whole thing. Very soon. Which means I'm going to need your help ASAP, Corbin. Selena's left town for a while, so at this point it'll just be the two of us."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: ~The glasses aren't exactly clean, but not tampered with.~ Aerin: He nods. "I'll do what I can."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene] -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((I might not be able to be in the storyline. I can't really explain, it's one of those delicate things. It's KF's decision, though, so you can ask him. I have no idea how Corbin's going to refuse IC.))

Aerin Thomas [PB 3] -> Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: ((Okay...gotcha.))

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "Nathaniel can help, too."

Lucien Bourikas: He gets their drinks, and moves back to the table, handing each their respective drinks, then unscrewing the cap on his own beer. "I take it nothing could be discovered from the little... incident with Ziahl?"

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "Incident? Ziahl?" Blink. Clueless. "Thanks." Takes his soda, ignoring any grime on the glass.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He shrugs to Lucian's question. "I don't know...I haven't been able to catch up with anyone who was involved in that, and they haven't gotten back with me about it, either. So hard to say."

Lucien Bourikas: He lowers his voice. "I couldn't see anyone, I was behind Mel and Ziahl, but whoever was there was laying in wait until we approached. I don't think they anticipated her having company, but it didn't seem to stop them either."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: ((That would be Merc or Mel, Aerin. *G* They're the only ones who were there with her.))

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: ((Oh yeah, and Lucien. *smirk*)) "Laying in wait?"

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((I know...was lurkin' the scene. *G* Aerin, sadly, does not.))

Lucien Bourikas -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: (Nyte has been unable to really be on, but he mentioned before work he would have responded to Aerin's call on the forums, he just didn't have to time to be online and respond)

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "No, I don't doubt that it would have stopped them," he says with a frown, taking a sip from his watter and setting it down. "Probably just encouraged them."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "Encouraged who? What happened?"

Lucien Bourikas: He nods, glancing around the room before he speaks quietly again, almost offhandedly if anyone was watching them. "Yes, the door was ajar, and someone even greeted us."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "What door? Who greeted you?"

Lucien Bourikas: "Ziahl's, Corbin. I thought I had told you about the fire episode at her place, but perhaps I didn't what with the coin and all... I went there to discuss things with Mel and Ziahl, but someone was already there. I will know the voice should I hear it again, but it came from the darkness of the apartment, bidding us enter and speak with it. When Ziahl did - and we could all speak the fumes of some fuel - the one inside ignted the fuel, and took off, leaving us with a burning building and dozens of people to try to save."

Lucien Bourikas: (Player mistake. *Cringes*)

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "Damn, that's pretty serious. Where is she staying then?"

Lucien Bourikas: "I think with someone they knew, a Damien something or other. I'm not sure. I haven't been able to speak with Mel or her since the night at the emergency room, except once on the phone with Mel, to make sure they were both alright."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He sighs and nods a little bit, speaking so as not to be heard over the general din of the crowd, outside the three of them. "We'll take care of it. They can't keep doing this once we take the offensive. But perhaps now isn't the best time to talk about it."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: He sips his drink, wishing it were a beer.

Lucien Bourikas: He nods to Aerin, taking a cautious sip of his beer.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "So Ziahl's staying with...Damien, you said?" Said rather casually, despite the shadow of concern passing over his face.

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "Damien one of, eh, us?" Eyeing Lucien's beer.

Lucien Bourikas: He makes a gesture of shrugging his shoulder, "I have no idea who he is, I only heard them say his name. I've never met him."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "No, he's not one of us," he says with a shake of his head. "But then, technically, neither is Ziahl."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "Can I have a sip?" Reaching for the beer. "No, I know she's not."

Lucien Bourikas: He looks curiously to Aerin, "You mean, he's another branch of the.. family?"

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "No, he's not part of the family at all. And thank the Goddess...'cause, you know. He's one of those D&D dorks." Subtle, maybe, but hopefully getting the point across.

Lucien Bourikas: He gives Aerin a curious look. "D&D? You mean he likes those role-playing games?"

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Yeah. The high-fantasy, wizards and warlocks kind." He fixes Lucien with a pointed stare.

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: d10: intel: 6,2,9,

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: It takes him a moment, but Aerin's elaboration makes him flinch. "Oh. Them. Wow."

Lucien Bourikas: He blinks, then understanding flows through his eyes, and he slightly stiffens. "Oh, not exactly my... type."

Lucien Bourikas: Filing away a second name now in his brain.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods a bit. "So be careful around him, unless you like the idea of having to make your saving throws versus spells."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: He bites his lip and he shakes his head. Steals a sip of beer, then sighs. "Well, I hope Ziahl knows what she's doing. She doesn't need to get involved with gamers."

Lucien Bourikas: "I have little time for their games, I have things to do. I have heard that not all are bad, but they are misguided, they search for things while the world burns around them."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Enough are bad that you don't want to get involved," he says with a frown. "Trust me on that one...I've been on the other end of their metagaming." Ooh, looks like someone used to play some RPG's in his time. "They cheat, and hideously so. And...well, it's just wise to stay away."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "Metagaming?" A sudden smirk at Aerin.

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: Another swig o' beer, then gives it back.

Dara : (anybody mind a birdygirl popping in?*Hugs*)

Lucien Bourikas: "I would advise the same thing, as their goals do not seem to collide with ours. And... we have something that they often crave. Best to keep them from that."

Lucien Bourikas: (*hugs* Not at all)

Lucien Bourikas: He shrugs. Corbin has risked his life with him, what is a swig of beer compared to that?

Dara -> Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: (*snickers* d&d, cuuuute*G**hugs*)

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: ((*hugs* Of course not))

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Matagaming," he says with a bit of a grin. "I have a scandalous past, I'm afraid. I used to be a dork, before I got all cool."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: ((Bring 'er on in!))

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "You think you're cool now?" He grins even more. A chuckle. "Yeah, you're alright. I can forgive your geek past. After all, you know computers." And Corbin loves computer RPGs...

Lucien Bourikas: He looks between the two, and smirks. "Corbin has been trying to get me to purchase some Alien computer, to play games. As if my life isn't enough of a fantasy game gone wild..."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "Alienware, doofus! It's one of the best computers for gaming around. Dell took it over, too, so they're probably going to improve."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: ((Ashton told me that part *L* and Corbin is obsessed enough with technology to be reading up on things like that.)

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Hey...I'm VERY cool now, thank you," he says with a grin, exhaling a drag of smoke. "Now would be a bad time to bring up my obsession with The Sandman, though, wouldn't it?"

Dara : http://heavyred.com/images/3033-M1.jpg (what shes wearing tonight) *out of work for the night, backpack over her shoulders, she darts inside the door when someone comes out it, peering about inside, in need of a drink just to relax, her hair on hte sides in a pigtail to either side in back of her head, the rest down and loose, finishing slipping in the last piercing to her lip as she looks about*

Lucien Bourikas: Mumbles softly, but loud enough for Corbin to hear. "Call me doofus again and your ears will be meeting together most untimely."

Dara : d10: per+alert: 5,7,5,7,4,3,7,

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: He laughs. "It's a lost cause, I think, Aerin." Grins at Lucien. "Why? Are you going to talk them into suicide?"

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Yeah, talk to me about cool when you can buy your own beer," he mutters with a grin.

Dara : (where is everyone?)

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: ((At a table waiting for an empty pool table.)) Aerin: "Ouch! That *stung*." Laughs.

Lucien Bourikas: He doesn't respond to Corbin, because he is too busy laughing at Aerin's remark.

Lucien Bourikas: (At a table near the pool tables, with Aerin and Corbin)

Dara : *she almost has to do a doubletake when she sees who she thinks she sees, barbell clicking inside her mouth softly, moving closer over towards the three at their table with a tiny fingered wave*

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: He smiles at Dara, nodding to her. "Hi, what brings out to this dive? Join us."

Erin Madigan: Erin pulls up on a rather suped up motorcycle, finding a parking spot, and securing it, before heading inside. She takes her helmet in with her, shaking out her chestnut hair some from helmet hair. She's wearing tight leather pants, that ride low on the hips, showing part of a celtic tattoo in the small of her back, going down further. She has on a simple black leather vest with a short to the waist leather jacket, also black, and black riding boots.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He grins to Corbin and Lucien before a look over to the wave. He smiles at Dara and turns to face her. "Hey, you. How are you?"

Erin Madigan: She takes a long look around the room before heading too far deeply inside.

Erin Madigan: d10: per/alert: 2,2,7,6,8,

Dara : um..just...got off work and stuff...figured..I dont know...to get a drink or something....hey....*smiling to aerin, she almost blushes and the grin grows a bit more, shrugging lightly* remember that promise you got out of me a week or so ago?

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: ((It's a rather ratty pool hall with a bar that serves mostly beer and hard liquor, lots of biker types around. *S*))

Lucien Bourikas: "Good evening, Dara, good to see you again." He stands at her approach.

Erin Madigan (pb 3): Erin certainly looks like she fits in to a place like this. Seeing that the coast is clear and actually spotting someone she knows, she heads on over toward Aerin.

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: He looks up, watching Erin approach. Definitely watching. He smiles to her.

Dara : hello lucien, heya corbin...um...hows your brother doing with the computer?*fidgeting with the backpack strap as she stands at their table, nibbling on the lipring*

Lucien Bourikas: He looks from Corbin to Erin, and sighs heavily, long suffering type of sound.

Lucien Bourikas: He motions to Dara at an empty chair at their table.

Dara : *at the motion she gives a quiet thanks, moving to sit, glancing to aerin to see if he remembers the promise*

Erin Madigan (pb 3): She smiles to Corbin and raises her eyebrows a little at the sigh coming from Lucien. "Hey Aerin," she greets him.

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: Dara: "He seems really pleased with it."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He looks over as Erin approaches, a smile directed her way. "Hey, Erin. How are you?"

Erin Madigan (pb 3): "I'm doing well, you?"

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: Erin: "Evening." A pleasant smile. "I think I've seen you around. I'm Corbin."

Lucien Bourikas: He looks at Erin, still standing, and gives her a gracious smile. "Good evening."

Erin Madigan (pb 3): She offers her hand first to Corbin. "Nice to meet you. I think we met actually my first night ...well....you helped keep me from getting my ass beat down," she grins more. "Erin Madigan."

Dara : *sighing softly at something, she chews the lipring a bit more before looking from aerin to corbin and nodding with the quiet smile* cool..*eyes glancing to erin, then back to flicking about, backpack in her lap where she sits*

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "That's right!" He chuckles. "Erin, I *do* remember you. How have you been adjusting to New York?"

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He smiles and shrugs a little bit. "I'm...doing well, really. For once. Busy, but good."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: He remains seated. A quick smile back to Dara. "They have sausages and fries here, if you're hungry. They're mostly up to code." ~The table having many glass rings on it and bits of food.~

Dara : *she slides from the seat and looks briefly up to the others before eyes are back down, the backpack slid to sit on her seat, semi saving it* Im gonna, um...go get a drink or something....be right back...*soft clicking heard as she heads from the table*

Erin Madigan (pb 3): "Oh pretty well now. Probably didn't recognize me looking like this," she laughs softly. "Was I interrupting something? Cuz I'll just go get a drink. Just wanted to say hi to Aerin and see how he was."

Erin Madigan (pb 3): Then offers her hand to Lucien. "Hi, I'm Erin."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He looks over to Dara, brow furrowing slightly at the clicking noise. A bit of concern in his eyes, as she heads away.

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: Erin: "You look great. That outfit suits you."

Lucien Bourikas: He mumbles, "Mostly means that the rats and roaches remain in the kitchen area, out of sight."

Lucien Bourikas: He takes Erin's hand then, "Lucien Bourikas, nice to meet you." He glances at Dara as she leaves. Perhaps he should have offered her a drink?

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: Erin: "And you aren't interrupting a thing. You're welcome to join us."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: Lucien: "I've seen a roach in the bathroom before. I don't advise anyone use the restrooms though unless it's an emergency. Anyone see Trainspotting? With the worst toilet in Scotland? Yeah, this isn't far off from it."

Erin Madigan (pb 3): She grins back to Aerin. "Glad to hear you're doing well." Then to Corbin. "Only if it's a consensus. My feeings aren't gonna be hurt if you didn't want me to stick around."

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Absolutely," he says in agreement to Corbin's words. "Please, Erin, join us. Far too much testosterone here...we need someone with enough blood flowing toward their brain to keep us in line." He grins.

Dara : *petite as she is she manages to weave and duck her way towards the bar, finding a spot to wedge between a few people, bringing her voice up enough to ask (yell) towards the bartender to see if she could get some soda or...something...an odd look later and shes sitting there waiting for it to be brought to her*

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: Erin: "Nah, we're just out to have some fun. Doesn't look like a pool table is going to open up any time soon, which is disappointing. I was going to strike up a wager with Lucien."

Lucien Bourikas: "Corbin, please, I have enough hesitation sitting here without discussing the establishments toilet problems." He smiles then to Erin. "No interruption, as you can see. Some pleasant conversation would be appreciated."

Erin Madigan (pb 3): "Alright. Then I'll buy you all a round of drinks then."

Lucien Bourikas: Corbin> "You surely jest, you do not intend to make a bet with me?"

Gavriil Kazimir: *he cruises down the street the pool hall is on, looking for a parking spot* You still okay? *he asks Michelle quietly*

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: Lucien: "I'm not *totally* rotten at pool. It might be fun to throw a little wager on."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: ~all naive and stuff, ocean blue eyes regarding Lucien~

Dara : *when it finally gets brought to her and she pays she heads back to the table with it...eyeing the contents suspectly then shrugging, sipping from it and managing to dodge once or twice someone that almost spilling it on her before getting back to the table*

Michelle (Rauko): *She nods, with a little peer outside, and back down* y..yes

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: Sips his soda, a smile to Dara as she returns.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: His cell phone rings, and he frowns, picking it up. "Hello?" He listens to the person on the other end, nodding a little bit with a frown.

Gavriil Kazimir: *he finds a spot a block down from the hall and swings the car in, parallel parking with ease, even though he never has to practice it on his own street. He glances over at Michelle once more before climbing out. He moves around and waits for her on the side walk, when she exits the car he speaks quietly to her* Seriously, if you're not comfortable, or you just want to leave...don't just sit quietly because you'll think I'll be offended or something.

Dara : *when aerins phone rings she looks to him, chewing her lip, then sitting back in her seat, backpack to her lap again*

Michelle (Rauko): *she takes a few moments in getting down, seeming to be trying to will herself to remain calm, odd eyes peering faintly up to Gavrill... she nods, very little*

Gavriil Kazimir: *he nods and starts down the block towards the Pool Hall* Your sister...she's safe with Caroline and that Guardian eh?

Lucien Bourikas: He smiles up at Dara as she joins them again, then looks to Corbin, "You get us a table, I'll match your wager."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: "Done! There's one opening up." He moves quickly, inserting quarters before another can take it.

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: He nods a little bit. "All right. I'll be there soon." He shuts the phone and gives everyone an apologetic smile. "Sorry, guys...business calls. I'll have to see you all later."

Erin Madigan (pb 3): She listens to them talking, looking as if she's deciding to stick around or not.

Lucien Bourikas: He nods to Aerin, and offers his hand. "Congratulations again... Aerin. I hope to speak with you again soon." After shaking hands, he rises and sighs at Corbin. "Alright, let's get this over with."

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: He nods to Aerin. "Later."

Erin Madigan (pb 3): She gives Aerin a pout. "Take care. Great seeing you again," then smiles to him.

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: Lucien: "Wanna go for fifty?" Racking up the balls.

Michelle (Rauko): *She nods to Gavriil, wishpering* Ibelieve so

Lucien Bourikas: He nods to Corbin, mumbling, "You're on." And since Corbin is racking, he makes ready to break.

Corbin Justice [pool hall - open scene]: He hefts a pool stick, testing the balance. Finding one he likes, he chalks it up.

Erin Madigan (pb 3): She looks down suddenly and pulls a very thin cell phone out of her tight leather pants. "Hello...." nodding a few time. "Oh sure...." and starts walking away from the group toward the bathrooms where it's quieter.

Dara : *looking to aerin again when he seems to be leaving, she gives a quiet somewhat smile, pack fidgeting in her lap as she sips her drink, then corin moves to a pool table, soft clicking comes from her mouth and she looks into her drink now as she sips at it*

Gavriil Kazimir: *he pulls open the door to the Pool hall, he shakes his head at the man when he's asked for ID* We're both under, just here to mingle. *he glances around looking for Dara most likely*

Aerin Thomas [PB 3]: "Good seeing you too, Erin," he says with a smile. "We need to get together sometime, just hang out. I think I have about fifteen minutes of free time sometime in the next year." He winks to her, and shakes Lucien's hand. "Thanks. Later, Corbin, later Dara." and he heads to the door, heading out.
