Christian Gallagher: Late night, and he's still too full of club energy to go home and go to bed. So he makes his way into Battery Park, just out to enjoy the air. He's got his leather jacket on over jeans & T-Shirt...the T-Shirt reads "Wii-Tarded." He hums a little bit as he heads along, generally toward Castle Clinton and the harbor.

Avery Woods (with Blue): She's out with the blue wrinkled dog for a very late night walk, dressed very casually in a red sweater, jeans and comfortable walking shoes, the dog walking along casually with her. She's ocassionally nibbling on some dried berries that she has in a resealable bag they came in.

Christian Gallagher: His eyes scan around, and eventually fall upon Avery and Blue. He smiles a little bit and approaches her, being as she's on his general path to tip of the island as it is. "Evening."

Avery Woods (with Blue): ((Apologies for that!)) She smiles a little bit when she's greeted. "Hello."

Christian Gallagher: ((No prob. :) )) He nods to her. "Nice night out. Can almost see all of the stars." He looks up to the sky. "Good night for a walk."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "Yes," she nods, with a quick glance up, sticking the bag into her back pocket.

Christian Gallagher: "Sorry...I probably seem a little wierd, just walking up and starting up conversation that way." He smiles a bit and extends his hand. "Let's start again. Hi, I'm Christian."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "Not really I guess. And I have gotten to know wierd a lot lately." She wipes her hand off on her pants. "Berry sticky..." she apologizes, "I'm Avery," and offers her hand.

Avery Woods (with Blue): "Not really I guess. And I have gotten to know wierd a lot lately." She wipes her hand off on her pants. "Berry sticky..." she apologizes, "I'm Avery," and offers her hand.

Christian Gallagher: "Berry sticky is fine." He shakes her hand with a small grin. "Pleasure to meet you, Avery."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "I have to wonder what the chances are that you are the same Christian that is seeing Sha Sha," she decides to take a stab at the chance. Her own shake firm, with a roughness to her hand.

Christian Gallagher: He smiles suddenly at that and nods. "The chances, it seems, are surprisingly good. I would be that Christian. You know Sha, huh? Very cool."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "Yes, I do. I wouldn't say we're best friends or anything, but she's kinda a friend. I've heard her talk a lot about you though, so it's nice to finally meet the love of her life."

Christian Gallagher: His cheeks color a little at that, and he smiles. "Oh...well, yeah. She is my best PR person, after all." He chuckles and nods. "I'm blessed that I've got her, really."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "I'm really happy for you two," she smiles softly. "She deserves it."

Christian Gallagher: "She does." He smiles and nods. "And I'm glad she's happy. How long have you known her?"

Avery Woods (with Blue): "Maybe six months? My mind is a bit blurry at times. Sometimes I don't remember too well. Met her through my ex. Not sure if she ever mentioned him to you or not."

Christian Gallagher: "Could be. Who's your ex?"

Avery Woods (with Blue): "Snyde." When she says the name there is only the slightest hint of sadness, mostly though her demeanor showing that she could care less at this point.

Christian Gallagher: He purses his lips, then nods with a faint smile. Maybe sympathetic. "Ahh. Yeah, I know Snyde."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "Seems he had quite the noteriety."

Christian Gallagher: He shrugs a little. "I met Sha and Snyde while they were together...the tail-end of it, at least. Even tried to help him with her a little. I don't know about any reputation he had...just my personal experiences with him."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "He meant well, just....." she shrugs, not sure what to say. "So yeah, you know why I say that she deserves you," she smiles softly.

Christian Gallagher: "I know he did." He nods a little bit. "And thank you. I appreciate the words."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "You're welcome. And thanks too."

Christian Gallagher: "You're welcome." He takes a deep breath and lets it out, then smiles to her. "So...I'm guessing you're not a native New Yorker, though my instincts have been wrong before. Am I right this time?"

Avery Woods (with Blue): "You're right. I was born in German and traveled around some. Mostly consider myself from South Carolina now. Yourself?"

Christian Gallagher: He points off in the direction of Staten Island. "Born and raised. New Yorker for life, through and through." He grins a little. "I try to suppress the asshole gene that comes with it, thouh."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "I don't get that you are one or ever have been, despite being from New York. My uncle was a Native and far from being oen either,' she smiles softly.

Christian Gallagher: "Well, I've had my moments...but I try to stay free of it." The grin widens into a full smile. "It seems like you've managed to avoid catching it too, thus far. It is a contagious gene, I've found. However that works."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "I'm not so sure about that. I suppose it depends on my mood mostly. I'm not exactly the most friendly person either."

Christian Gallagher: "Well, we all have periods of being less-then-friendly. But based off all the empirical evidence, I've seen, you're asshole-gene-free. And I'll keep with that until I see otherwise."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "Why thank you. Give me a few more months though," she says half-kiddingly, half-serious.

Christian Gallagher: "If you can make it that few more months, you should be good." He grins a little. "Aside from the occasional bout with it, you'll have built up your immunity to it."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "Maybe....though no promises."

Christian Gallagher: "It's a deal." He smiles. "So, what do you do for a living?"

Avery Woods (with Blue): "I'm a mechanic. Cars and motorcycles. But I'm going to be going to school in the spring. Computer engineering."

Christian Gallagher: "Oh, nice." She nods at that. "I've been learning a bit of computer stuff, mostly in terms of audio mixing and the like."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "Probably wouldn't be too hard for me to figure that out actually. Bet if you had questions about it, I could help. When I'm in my good mood phase of course."

Christian Gallagher: "Oh, of course." He smiles and nods. "I'd appreciate it. I'm starting to figure it out, but I'm not a computer expert, just moderately competant."

Avery Woods (with Blue): She digs around her pocket and pulls out a card for Excel Motors, then finding a pen writes down a cell number. "Here you go. Just don't go passing the number around...though I doubt you would. If you want some help, just give me a call sometime."

Christian Gallagher: He takes the card with a smile. "Awesome...thanks." He pulls out his own card and hands it over. "I doubt you'd have too much need for a DJ...but if you ever want to do something, gimme a call. Be happy to hang out."

Avery Woods (with Blue): "Thanks," she smiles a little, taking his card. "Not sure how exciting I'd be to hang out with. I need to avoid clubs and smoking and all that right now that goes with your scene, but I'll keep it in mind." She starts to yawn, "I need to get some rest actually before I collapse."

Christian Gallagher: He nods. "Yeah, me, too. But it's been great meeting you. I'll see you later, okay?"

Avery Woods (with Blue): "Sure. Have a good evening, Christian. Glad I finally got to meet you. Tell Sha I said hi?" The dog starts to wake up as he can tell she's ready to go, getting up, yawning and shaking himself off.

Christian Gallagher: "Will do. Good night." He smiles and nods, turning to make his way out of the park.

Avery Woods (with Blue): She heads on out, taking her time, as she goes back nibbling some on the berries again.

Christian Gallagher: ((Thanks for the scene!))

Avery Woods (with Blue): ((Thank you too!))
