Adrian: Finally off work, he returns to the park, sitting on the bench to relax and watch people.

Adrian's Phone: *Ringy dingy dingy*

Adrian: He answers the phone on the third ring. "Yeah?"

Adrian's Phone -> Adrian: "Hello, Adrian." Driving. He's in a car somewhere, from the background noise. Very calm.

Adrian: Checks the number. "This ain't Ethan." Pause. Sigh. "Aerin?" Shrewd guess.

Adrian: He glances around the park. So much for relaxing after work.

Adrian's Phone -> Adrian: ((Oh, sorry. He just took the number, didn't take the phone. Phone was put back after he copied it...should have clarified.)) He chuckles. "How are you?"

Adrian: ((ooooh *oops* Change to... "Who is this?" Pause Sigh. "Aerin?" Given that he knows Ethan likely talked...again. *G*)) "Not bad. Trying to relax after work." Guarded.

Adrian's Phone -> Adrian: "Mmm. Must be nice." The flick of a lighter. "So I hear you had a pleasant conversation yesterday..."

Aethilian "Alan" Marcona: *Tall, and relatively lanky, he strides with near ephemeral grace. His hair is short, as of right now, a ruddy red that could be mistaken for dried blood woven with gold. His eyes, a pale green. Almost a beauteous visage. The rub of it is the black jeans, and the black tee with silvered dragon curling on his chest, as if sleeping. His hands tuck into his pockets, and he smiles, overlooking his new territory. For it surely looks like that is exactly what he's doing.*

Adrian: Long sigh. "Look. Let me clarify. I didn't threaten to kill you *unless* you came hunting me down. Tell me, if someone was hunting you down, someone you knew hated you, wouldn't you kill them? So I told Ethan, if he backs off, it's cool. 'Sides, I was getting paranoid when some butthole named Alex started spouting off."

Adrian: d10: : 3,4,3,6,10,

Adrian: He glances over at the tall male figure. Wary. Talking on the cell phone.

Adrian's Phone -> Adrian: "Let's get one thing straight here, Adrian. I didn't send anyone after you. Understand? If I wanted to kill you, I've had ample opportunity, don't you agree?"

Aethilian "Alan" Marcona: d10: Per+Alert: 6,9,4,5,2,9,7,

Aethilian "Alan" Marcona: *Ahh yes. fear. Fear is healthy, caution. Yes, FEED his ego. He nods, however, politely, really, the smile almost predatory.*

Alice Newcomb: Comes zooooming into the park on rollerblades!

Adrian: "Yeah, that's true." Trying to lower his voice. "'Sides, I ended up going for a drink with the guy, he turned out cool. For Ethan's sake, I'll willing to work with you. And I didn't know he was off the shit, or I wouldn't have offered. I was just trying to give back what he'd given me. Ya'know?"

Aethilian "Alan" Marcona: *He frowns slightly, and gets out of the way of the rollerblade girl. Insolent mortal.*

Adrian: d10: : 7,9,6,9,3,

Adrian: Lifts a hand lazily to the whiz kid on skates.

Alice Newcomb: d10: dex + ath: 5,9,3,7,7,8,

Alice Newcomb: Jumps right up on a bench and zips across it, cutting sharply around the tall dude that's trying to dodge her.

Adrian: "Watch it, Alice!" he grumps at her, likely heard over the phone.

Adrian's Phone -> Adrian: "Yeah. I know." He takes a deep breath, as if to collect his thoughts. "Here's the thing. I'm not your biggest fan. We all know that's true. However...like you, for Ethan's sake, I'm willing to try and put that behind us. Start over. Is that cool with you?" ((Man+Sub coming))

Adrian's Phone -> Adrian: d10: Man+Subt (WP): 6,4,5,7,2,8,7,

Alice Newcomb: (That would be after she came off the end of the bench. *L*) "WHOOOOO!" Waves at Adrian as she runs across a patch of lawn and hits the pavement again.

Aethilian "Alan" Marcona: *His head swivels, watching the girl. Ahh yes... Watch it. Alice. He makes note of that, observing with cold eyes. His smile, however breaks out over his face, something akin to friendliness.*

Adrian -> Adrian's Phone: ((No chance to see through it with the WP in there. *G* Only 4 dice.))

Adrian's Phone -> Adrian: ((it's Per+Subt to see through. :) ))

Alice Newcomb: Gives the tall guy a friendly smile as she spins around and starts skating backwards.

Adrian: He's suspicious by nature, but he's willing to accept it at face value. "Yeah, that's cool with me. Be willing to try anyway."

Adrian -> Adrian's Phone: ((Yep! *G* And only a dice pool of 4.))

Aethilian "Alan" Marcona: *He raises a hand, keeping his smile intact. With a look that could either be "It's so nice to see you" or "I'll eat your face off."*

Felisa Espinosa: She never really left the park. Well, there was that quick nip to the bar to get a little refreshment, but you could hardly count that as anything worth mentioning. Might've caused a divorce, in retrospect, but you never know, the whispers might not have made that much of a difference.
It really didn't matter. She danced along, listening to Meat Beat Manifesto; god only knows where she got the iPod from.

Alice Newcomb: Grins at Adrian as she takes a run at the rail that keeps people from falling in the drainage ditch. When did he become a mother hen?

Dominic Vinitolli: **the heavy thump of a high end stereo system wafts out of the night ands gets a little louder as the car arrives at the park area to park.. The stereo cuts out, but probably not before the musically knowledgeable might recognize some early 90's rap.. DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince.**

Adrian: Smirks at Alice when she grins.

Alice Newcomb: She takes a wild leap for the rail! (wp)

Alice Newcomb: d10: dex + ath: 7,4,9,8,4,6,

Adrian's Phone -> Adrian: ((Ahh, sorry, saw WP and thought you were talking about a WP ~ROLL~ :) )) "Awesome." He sighs, seeming relieved. "Now, Ethan. Ethan is seriously freaked out right now, Adrian. I mean, seriously so. Give him some time, all right? He's a pretty fragile person, and...well, he's shaken. I'll talk to him...but for now, do me a favor, and back off for just a couple days. Okay?"

Adrian: Hmmm...eyes narrow furtively and he watches the stranger Alan who just waved at Alice.

Felisa Espinosa: d10: per+alert: 9,2,5,7,2,

Aethilian "Alan" Marcona: The girl, however, seems to amuse him. He applauds politely. A glint of eyes catch the other entering girl, and the noisy beast of a car.*

Alice Newcomb: Who's your mama?! She glides down the rail like a surfer, kness bent arms held out for balance.

Adrian: "Yeah, poor kid's delicate, alright. Dunno how he ever thought he could handle being a vet. Okay, I'll do it. For you."

Adrian: d10: : 8,3,8,10,2,

Adrian: Rolls his shoulders, noticing the others. Gives Felisa a nod though, if she looks over.

Alice Newcomb: Salutes the applause as she leaps off the rail and spins in fancy pirouette that ends in a bow to her admirer. She is hot today!

Felisa Espinosa: Lot of action here it looked like. Couple people she knew; one of them had wheels on her feet. The other one was on the phone, and there were a couple she didn't recognize at all. Pretty typical night really, when you think about it.
The headphones were popped out of her ears as Felisa decided to take it all in.

Alice Newcomb: d10: per + alert: 4,4,6,5,7,6,1,

Aethilian "Alan" Marcona: *He laughs at that, quite amused, really.* Well done, *he says, a clipped british accent.* I say, well done.

Alice Newcomb: Hey, is that Fel? *waves*

Adrian: Into the phone, "I'm in Battery if you wanna talk. Dunno how long I'll be here, depends on my cousin."

Alice Newcomb: Alan> "Thank you." *Grinning*

Adrian's Phone -> Adrian: "I'm nowhere near Battery right now, Adrian. But I'll talk to him, see if we can all meet and talk it over, all right?"

Adrian: "Alright, sounds good, Aerin."

Aethilian "Alan" Marcona: Almost makes it worth near being run over. *He nods sincerely, and then takes another looks around.*

Felisa Espinosa: Felisa gave her a wave, blew her a kiss and did the Flashdance jog-in-place-or-need-to-take-a-pee-really-badly dance. "Hey there! You know if you wanted to break your neck that badly, I'd suggest wrapping a chain around your neck with a big metal hook, and go bus fishing."
All said in humor of course.

Adrian's Phone -> Adrian: "Great." He sighs. "I'll talk to you later, Adrian, I've gotta go. Thank you."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: http://www.angelfire.com/ak/redheads/images/kristen.jpg *wearing low slung jeans and a babydoll tshirt on the lean well defined(cut) muscled frame, leahter coat over her arm, long strawberry blond coppery locks down in loose waves, the edges of some tatt show from over the line of teh jeans waist over the flat abdomen, aqua blue eyes more or less on the kitten in her hands though that mewls at her*

Alice Newcomb: Skates off, gathering speed and dodging pedestrian. "Hey Felisa!" Zipping past with a hand in the air for a high five.

Adrian: "Bye." Puts the phone away.

Adrian's Phone -> Adrian: ((Poor, poor Adrian. *S*))

Adrian: d10: : 4,4,6,5,3,

Adrian: He looks over Kae's form, but he doesn't particularly recognize her. She's female, she's pretty, he looks.

Adrian -> Adrian's Phone: ((*L* Aerin's a good liar. *G*))

Aethilian "Alan" Marcona: d10: per+alert: 6,7,4,4,7,8,3,

Dominic Vinitolli: **Dominic wheels down the path on a fresh new pair of Agressive inline skates... He's dressed in loose sports clothes and his jean jacket, and he moves smoothly, but not "confidently"...**

Felisa Espinosa: Alice would get a tickle on the ribs instead, along with a quick grab if she went wild and fell over in a heap. "Rollerblades? I guess Spits really got into your noodle."

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: d10: per+alert: 3,3,6,2,5,9,

Aethilian "Alan" Marcona: *The girl, he looks over as well, observes with pale green eyes. She is pretty, yes. But his fascination seems to remain on the slowly building group.*

Alice Newcomb: Squeals at the tickle and cuts a circle around Fel. "I've been skating since I was little." Waves towards Dom. "Hey! Over here!"

Adrian's Phone -> Adrian: ((Aye, he is. *G*))

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: *head tilting when she thinks she hears something, eyes up from the kitten shes petting carefully, she looks to felisa and alice curiously, giving a friendly enough nod and smile especially when she sees alice, waving, even nodding and waving to adrian when she sees him*

Alice Newcomb: Gives Kae a friendly smile.

Adrian: Huh. Does he know her? Yeah, familiar. He kinda remembers this specific breast bulge and butt curve. He nods to Kae.

Felisa Espinosa: "It seems to be well engrained. No wonder your legs are such skullcrushers. Well, glad you're having fun," she said, sitting down in the grass. "So what have you been up to tonight? Hare-brained schemes? International Banking Conspiracies? Do dish..."

Dominic Vinitolli: **catching wind of his name, and catching sight of the waving figure he skates on over... Nothing fancy, just gliding along.** Hey Alice, wassup? **he looks around to get an idea of the other people he could potentially look a fool in front of tonight...**

Dominic Vinitolli: d10: Working the skates: 5,9,7,3,6,7,

Kaeleigh O'Reilly: hey alice....adrian...*the kitten in her hands mewls at adrian pitifully like its desperate for a ttention*

Alice Newcomb: Leans up, not tugging too hard on him. Dom> "Where's the rest of your gear?"

Alice Newcomb: "Hi Kae. Long time no see. How you been?"

Adrian: What's that sound? He looks around with a frown, finally notices the kitten. "Kaelyn---Kaeleigh."

Dominic Vinitolli: Miss Felisa, nice ta see ya agin.

Adrian: "Kae." When Alice says it. "That's easier to remember." Peers at the kitten.

Dominic Vinitolli: **and returns Adrian's nod when he gets close.***

Adrian: "Dom." That name is easier to remember.

Felisa Espinosa: "Perish the thought," she said, watching the new faces swarm in like huge bees.

Felisa Espinosa: "And hello to you too Dom. Are you alright on those things? Do you need a chain and a hook?"
