Coven

Kaine: In truth.. I came here for a little help.. from my old family
Kaine smiles

miss Korhonen: ohh, well go ahead kaine were listening
Pix Cazalet watches Bethany's face intently sensing fear in her posture
Storm Severine walks to the crowed to see if anything is interesting here

Kaine leans over and looks at Mei 'Well.. you know I heard the Shadows had their fun with this little one....I think I heard her screams myself.'
Kaine chuckles 'I am referring to the Coven...'

Storm Severine: greetings

Meiying (Anjia Chuzen) stands up and roars at Kaine.
Anjia Chuzen rawwwRRRrrrs

Kaine smiles briefly 'Down kitty.'

Abigel watches the scene quietly and nods when Rago joins her.

Pix Cazalet stands up "and what can we do for you Kaine, everyone seems to want us tonight"

Meiying (Anjia Chuzen) says 'You're asking for a death sentence.'

Kaine shakes his head 'It is not what you can do for me... it is what Bethany can do for me'

Noodles Nightfire: mei stand down
Noodles Nightfire: dont let this trash antagonise you

Bethany Matahari frowns deeply hearing Kaine mention the Coven and she walks up the steps to the door of the Shop. She stops suddenly and turns to stare at Kaine with wide eyes, speechless.

Meiying (Anjia Chuzen) says 'nods and hisses at Kaine before turning around and padding over to the group.'

Pix Cazalet looks over at Bethany then back at Kaine "do you have some kind of spell you'd like her to perform?"

Kaine smiles and nods towards Pix 'Yes.. there is a certain ritual I would wish for her assistance with, seeing as has.. previous experience.. but I wish to discuss it without the distraction of this..' *sniffs* '..rancid air.'

Pix Cazalet nods her head slowly "then you'd better come inside"

Bethany Matahari shakes her head frantically at PIx and whispers in urgent tones, "No Pix. I don't have anything to offer him! I can't help him!"

Kaine nods and smiles

Pix Cazalet: It's ok Beth, let's see what he has to say first
Pix Cazalet waits and gestures to the door "you first Beth"

Kaine: ..Enjoy the night Ryders... Don't do anything I wouldn't do

Kaine laughs

Anjia Chuzen rawwwRRRrrrs

Bethany Matahari grips her skirt nervously as she stands back, allowing Kaine to pass.

Pix Cazalet waits patiently watching him go inside

Abigel pokes Rago in the side. "It seems I need a Tarot reading."

Bethany Matahari gives Pix a look of utter confusion before she follows them inside.

Rago Allen: uhm..sure

Kaine nods

Rago Allen: could be usefull

Noodles Nightfire: talk about being nosey

Abigel: Hiya, Tiger

Meiying (Anjia Chuzen) nods to Abigel.

Abigel smiles to Beth. "Good day"

Bethany Matahari waits in the front shop, hoping Pix and Kaine really didn't need her. She busies herself with tidying the counter. She turns to see a customer, "Oh! Abigel! Hello! Ye...ummm..good day! Yes!" she stammers and babbles.

Pix Cazalet folds her arms in front of her and stares across at Kaine "guess you'd better tell me what you want"

Kaine whistles the Danse Macabre, switching his gaze between Hawk and outside the door, waiting for Bethany

Abigel smiles brightly. "Isnt it beautiful? How the green clouds gather and then dissolve?"

Calleigh Constantine glances to Abigel out the corner of her eye, the sharp blue staring into her.

Meiying (Anjia Chuzen) says 'Excuse me, I'm going to go look for something to kill and pretend it's Kaine.'

Kaine stops once more and looks at Pix 'No no, not until this one has left and Bethany is here with us.. my business is important.'

Noodles Nightfire: sure remember stay out of trouble

Meiying (Anjia Chuzen) nods and leaps away.

miss Korhonen: try not to wander in the pit, i know its tempting to kill a few things in there

Bethany Matahari nods slowly as she peers outside, "Yes...sure. Beautiful."she appears very distracted.

Pix Cazalet: This is our home. Do not demand things in this house or you'll be thrown out

ZOLTAR v2.1: An ounce of pretention is worth a pound of manure.

Abigel looks indifferent to Beth's discomfort and stretches and walks around, inspecting the contents of the store with interest. "So I was wondering, do you guys offer Tarot readings, really?"

Kaine shakes his head 'Not a demand, merely a declaration of my desire not to speak until certain things are as I wish them to be... I do not demand you do anything... I have patience.'

Pix Cazalet raises her voice "Bethany, could you join us please?"

Calleigh Constantine smiles slightly. "Yes we do ma'am." She whispers lightly.

Abigel peeks at the Tarot table and pats with her foot
.
Bethany Matahari peeps into the back room to see if the conversation between Pix and Kaine have come to an end yet. She gestures over her shoulder to teh Tarot table and then frowns. "Oh, Abigel...I'm sorry. ummm..Pix is calling. Perhaps Calleigh can help?"

Abigel smiles "Great"

Hawk Perway: I personally don't like your tone.. KAINE... I stay here for my loyalty and desire to see no harm come to Pix. If Pix wanted me to jump I would jump. "

Kaine stares at Hawk and simply smiles.

Calleigh Constantine smiles lightly as she motions to the table, sitting down gently.

Hawk Perway: And your are not yourself.

Pix Cazalet sighs "this is Coven business Hawk, please wait outside"

Abigel hops on the chair comfortably, swinging with her foot and whistling something silly

Hawk Perway: If you need me Pix merely ask for me.

Hawk Perway: I would more be more than happy to oblige.

Kaine waves 'Ta ta Hawk'

Bethany Matahari parts the beaded glass curtain and looks to all assembled. She nods to Hawk politely but gives him a pleading look to stay as he walks out.

Abigel smiles to Caleigh "Nice eyes"

Kaine smiles to Pix and then to Bethany
Kaine: To my request then..

Bethany Matahari looks over to Pix with worry slowly etching her brow. "Pix? There really isn't anything I can do for Kaine. Really." she insists.

Abigel breathes in the smell of the cards and looks at th Calleigh expectanty. "So you shuffle and all, right?"

Kaine rubs at his chin 'You recall the resurrections I performed?'

Rago Allen looks interested on the table

Abigel smiles causally to Rago, winking with excitement. "I am gonna get my reading. See?"

Rago Allen: oh yes but...

Bethany Matahari bites the inside of her cheek and she grimaces, her pulse quickens.

Pix Cazalet growls "how can I forget"

Rago Allen barks quickly "i dont belive in that stuff"

Kaine nods slowly 'Well... there was a price...'

Calleigh Constantine glances out the corner of her eye to Rago, the blue sparking.

Kaine sighs and looks to Pix, his eyes hidden behind the goggles, his voice breaking slightly as he speaks 'I am dying Pix.'

Abigel sniffs "What you believe in is a thing. How things work is another"

Pix Cazalet hisses a look of annoyance becoming evident on her face "didn't I tell you there'd be a price?" then gasps "how?"

Calleigh Constantine laughs quietly as she sits. "Hmm.." She looks over to Abigel, "Are you ready? Stranger?" She implies softly, asking her name quietly.

Bethany Matahari hand covers her mouth and she frowns. "Dying?" she whispers.

Abigel looks over the deck, drawn by its radiance. "Its a powerful deck."

Abigel: Abby

Kaine shakes his head 'This body can not take the energies required... it is falling apart... at a base level..'

Abigel: Call me, Abby.

Rago Allen: i can explain you how that nonsense works

Pix Cazalet tries to hide her sadness and stares across "and how exactly can Bethany help?"

Rago Allen looks over to calleigh " sorry nothing personal"

Kaine smiles briefly 'Bethany is a healer.. a potion maker, correct?'

Calleigh Constantine smiles slightly as she closes her eyes, nodding her head slightly. "Very well Abby.." She runs her hand over the top of the deck, a blue spark following her hand as she looks to Abby, "will you please shuffle the deck ma'am?" She smiles slightly to Rago, shaking her head. "None taken."

Pix Cazalet: and?

Kaine shakes his head 'I request Bethanys assistance in aiding me with a potion... to hold the effects at bay.'

Abigel nods, and leans closer. Her blue hair swirls slightly as if cought in a breeze and her face is lit from some inner light. "Hmmmm"

Pix Cazalet smirks a little "can't Lorne help you with that stuff?"

Kaine shakes his head 'His style.. is slightly different.. and he is too preoccupied with the aptitude of the Shadows for the arcane.'

Bethany Matahari finds herself studying Kaine as he continues speaking. She holds her breath unconsciously hearing he needs her help. She takes a step towards him, "But what kind of potion? I don't know of anything that powerful."

Pix Cazalet considers his request and looks at Bethany before whispering quietly to her

Tarot Table: Future - Love. Passion. understanding. affinity. Possible meaning - good feelings to oneself.

Kaine shakes his head 'I can help with the potion, I need someone who understands certain principles behind them...'

Calleigh Constantine smiles softly as she glancs to he cards, her eyes glowing softly as she reads.

Tarot Table: Present (reversed) Wrong attitude to life and people. Excessive emotionality. hot
temper. abrupt actions.

Pix Cazalet smiles warmly and shakes her head before whispering again
Pix Cazalet grins as she lowers her mouth and whispers one last time

Kaine begins to whistle the same familiar haunting tune as he looks around

Abigel sniffs, looking at the cards

Calleigh Constantine looks at the cards, tilting her head curiously. "You really do not care for people do you? Often on the offensive with the temper to follow in your wake?"

Hawk Perway: So noodles whats going on lately my friend?

Abigel looks away

Noodles Nightfire: not much

Hawk Perway: Same.

Abigel purses her lips and shakes her head, looking at the cards and lowers her eyes.

Rago Allen looks at abigel

Abigel: Some people might.... agree on that

Hawk Perway: I appreciate the help by the way.
Hawk Perway: I didn't even call yet you were there.

Calleigh Constantine smiles softly. "No fear; you just need to be weary of your words because I see that you have a bright future for you...Someone special."

Noodles Nightfire: no troubles

Abigel frowns. "What?"

Bethany Matahari nods slowly though reluctantly to Pix. She looks up at Kaine. "I will help you." she frowns slightly, "For the sake of your soul...and because you were once...a friend."

Abigel inspects the cards closely "Who? Why? What the fuck?"

Kaine smiles to Bethany 'Thank you.'

Ibuki Kohime: oh wow
Ibuki Kohime: lots of ppl
Ibuki Kohime: hi love

Calleigh Constantine smiles warmly as she looks into Abigel, her dark eyes glowing with a flickering blue flame. "Theres a being dear to you, that you would give the world to protect, your light in this darkness; they will be able to enhance your life."

Noodles Nightfire: hi ibuki but dont call me love
Noodles Nightfire laughs

Ibuki Kohime: not you big off

Noodles Nightfire: tsk no sense of humour today eh

Ibuki Kohime: sash here

Kaine is Online

Ibuki Kohime: well im sry

Bethany Matahari eyes soften to Kaine as she sees his smile...the familiar smile that graced his face when he was of the Coven once. "Please let me know when you will need my assistance Kaine."

Abigel swallows "no way... My mums dies and I... Noone special. None"

Kaine chuckles 'Well.. do you wish to begin now?'

Ibuki Kohime: so sweety how are you?

Sash Clip: im fine dear, what about you?

Bethany Matahari gasps as she is taken by surprise. "Oh! Now? But I'm not...not...umm...ready."

Rago Allen looks comaptionated

Ibuki Kohime: well ive been better

Kaine tilts his head 'What will it take for you to be ready?'

Calleigh Constantine frowns darkly. "If you listen to that voice, your temper will continue to get worse. Your mind will close out and soon you will shut out all dear to you. Let your mind open; you will find that light when you do."

Sash Clip: Something happend?

Ibuki Kohime points up to the eyepatch, "yea got mugged by a werewolf and lost an eye"

Abigel raises and eyebrow and looks at Calleigh thoughtfully. "Damn. Everyone is keeping on tellling me that."

Sash Clip: awww shit, do you know it?

Calleigh Constantine smiles slightly. "The one is within the ranks of your family...I can feel that my friend."

Ibuki Kohime: na

Abigel looks at Calleigh with wide eyes, shaking her head in disbelief

Ibuki Kohime: i was walking passed the club an next thing i know i have no money and there is fur everywhere
Ibuki Kohime: thank god the hospitol was right there

Calleigh Constantine eyes continue to glow. "Be careful with your anger, your words will possibly chase them away; but the worry and care keeps them close, trying to see you through the darkness."

Ibuki Kohime: but anyway i just came in to get some herbs

Ibuki Kohime: and not the good kind of herb

Abigel frowns and stands, still shaking her head. "Creepy, this place. Really"

Rago Allen: can we go then?

Calleigh Constantine smiles slightly, waving her hand as her eyes close, the cards reseting with a blue flame. "The cards do not lie."

Abigel looks down at the cards, and then looks up at Calleigh. "Thanks, I guess"

Ibuki Kohime: i wish i knew the werewolf that did this

Rago Allen thinks: "not the cards but the one whos laying them maybe "

Noodles Nightfire: ibuki are you sure it was a wolf

Ibuki Kohime: i mean shit now i have to look out for my surroundings with one eye

Noodles Nightfire: cats have fur too no

Ibuki Kohime: yea im sure the howling gave it away

Abigel tilts a head and looks up at Rago and then back at Calleigh. "Umm. Yeah, we should go"

Calleigh Constantine smiles slightly and nods to Abby, before glancing to Rago, her eyes flashing bright blue. "I suggest your friend begins to open his mind to other theologies, they may help him one day." She smiles sweetly.

Abigel: Bye

Calleigh Constantine: "See you around."

Pages

Alonzo Castaignede: So Rago was going to regale us with his tales of Omega was he not?
Rago Allen scratchs his head
Rago Allen: was i?
CYLONXD Slade closes her eyes in deep thought "i hear the Omega Sindacate was the only faction to truly get on its feat after whateve the hell hit this place"
CYLONXD Slade: Whatever-))
Grr: well, we're not so much a sindicate as an institute, and yeah
Blaze Wiles shrugs "Arena, roof, wherever, just out of the way
Grr: we are pretty much tha most only group thats . . .well . . .tagether, if ya ask me
Abigel comes in and sniffs, nodding to Omega and Grr. She then regards the strangers and shrugs. "A fox, even" she sits down and throws a paper airplane into the air, a page possibly tore out of an army code of conduct
Grr: ha
Grr: well, so, anyways
CYLONXD Slade with her eyes closed still "all the other factions are more like street gangs and thugs"
Abigel nods "And chicken"
Grr: well, yeah
Grr: that they are
Alonzo Castaignede smiles and keeps his peace
Grr: some of em
Abigel rolls her eyes, folding another airplane out of another page
Grr: ok, so , most of em are, at best, like that
Abigel throws the second airplane and sticks out a perfectly healed tongue as she follows the spirally path of the airplane that lands in the ear of Alonzo. "Ups, sorry"
Grr: so, aparty from Abigale here, we are interested in learnin, and gatherin knowledge of one sort or other
Alonzo Castaignede laughs and takes the airplane, adjusting the wings, "all forgiven friend," as he tosses it, watching it sail across the library.
CYLONXD Slade with her eyes closed still lets out a Slight laugh and smirks
Abigel whistles innocently and inspects the ceiling
CYLONXD Slade: "i have heard this"
Grr: so, cousin, what can ya tell us about yerself? and you too, Fleshie
Alonzo Castaignede rises, "If you will all please excuse me, I have a few things to attend to."
Lady Omega smiles.. Pleasant journies, Alonzo.
Lady Omega: Do try to stay out of trouble?
Alonzo Castaignede grins, "I go where god leads me."
Alonzo Castaignede bows to the room, "Go in Peace."
Abigel picks her nose her eyes and says "Who says I am not eager to learn?" she closes her eyes and cants " Under the Geneva Conventions, medical personnel who are exclusively engaged in the medical service of their armed forces and chaplains who fall into the hands of the enemy are "retained personnel" and are not POWs. While this allows them the latitude and flexibility necessary to perform their professional duties, it does not relieve them of their obligation to abide by the provisions of the CoC. Like all members of the Armed Forces, medical personnel and chaplains are accountable for their actions. "
Abigel folds another airplane
Lady Omega: Reciting is all good and well, Abi, but are you a scholar, or a parrot?
Abigel sticks out a tongue. "A scholar?"
Lady Omega: A parrot can repeat words without understanding their meaning.
Grr: and had tha Kit had a chance ta read thgat yet?
Lady Omega: A scholar seeks to draw information from what they read, and put it to use.
Lady Omega: So - which are you? A parrot, or a scholar?
CYLONXD Slade Smirks and opens her eyes "i just got here...seen the place and Simply not wishing to be a running lunatic. I work best at long distance and prefer peace over noise. I'm not afraid to die but am in no Hurry too do so"
Abigel throws the third airplane "Well, I put it to use. See?"
Abigel sighs. "I am none of that. Honestly, I dont understand this"
Abigel: Though.... "I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist. "
Grr nods to Cylonxd
CYLONXD Slade Once again Closes her eyes
Grr: maybe this will help . . i got as bunch of em printed up
Rago Allen: YAY!
CYLONXD Slade opens her eyes and reads "sounds Fair"
Abigel coughs as the third airpane catches Omega's hair
Lady Omega reaches out, catching the plane.
Lady Omega unfolds the paper, smoothing it out.
Lady Omega walks over to Abi, handing the page out to her..
Abigel looks up, biting a lip
Grr: books . . not . .., fer . . .throwin . . .
Grr: not ever L. Ron Hubbards ones
Abigel nods and reads. "If I am captured I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy. "
Lady Omega holds the page under Abi's nose, waiting her her to take it..
Abigel takes it and folds it into a pocket. "I read it all"
Lady Omega leans over, very close to Abi's face
Abigel blinks
Lady Omega: You, child, will not damage my books. Or you will find there are worse things than a cut tongue.
Lady Omega: You understand me?
Abigel raises an eyebrow. "It was fallen apart anyways. But sure."
CYLONXD Slade looks at Omega "seems you Command Respect"
Lady Omega: I put your mothers hand into that fireplace over there, and burned it to a mangled, scarred ruin.. because she spoke out of turn.
Abigel growls quietly
Lady Omega: Do you think I will stand by while you disrespect your family here? You will not damage my books. And you will learn some respect.
Abigel: Because if not you will hurt me
Lady Omega smiles, baring fangs… “No, sweetheart. No.”
Abigel nods. "There is a lot to learn here" She looks up into the lady’s eyes, blinking again
Lady Omega: Because if you do not? That street out there will hurt you. And you - will hurt you. And those you love.
Lady Omega: Your mothers would weep to see you hurt a book like that. They would weep. And I would spare them that pain.
Grr: wild anger . . . even when quiet . . .is still a wild anger
Abigel sniffs. "I heal fast"
Abigel pulls up her knees and looks away
CYLONXD Slade looks at Omega and Smiles "spoken like a true Vampire and…a poet"
Grr: only on tha outside, little one
Lady Omega puts a hand gently on Abi's head, stroking her hair, before returning to her seat.
Grr looks at Cyclonxd carefully 'ya got insight there, cousin . . .deep insight"
Abigel takes a deep breath and still isnpects an undefined speckle hangin in the room
Grr: what say you to our little Family's ways . . .from what ya heard and read?
CYLONXD Slade Smiles "respect, brains and integrity, something i Admire"
Grr: do ya think ya could live by our code and put up yer arms?
CYLONXD Slade smiles "yes"
Abigel sighs and walks to the fire. In the meanwhile the left of the paper airplanes fly back to her, unfolding and reattaching themselves to the booklet.
Grr watches Abi
Grr: and yer name Cousin?
CYLONXD Slade: Most Call me Cy or Cyl
Grr: well then Cy . . i'm Grr . . .Praetor . . . and i'd like ta welcome ya to tha Omega Institute
CYLONXD Slade smiles "thank you very much"
Grr: we expect great things from ya, don't let us down
CYLONXD Slade: I won't
Grr: oh, and i got goodies . . .Rago, did ya get goodies?
Rago Allen: no
Lady Omega smiles..
Grr: lemme go grab tha stach ., . . .
CYLONXD Slade Smiles
Grr: with your blessin, Yer Ladyship?
Grr: with yer blessin, Yer Ladyship . . .
Lady Omega: Of course..
Abigel watches the fire and disappears slowly

Hello kitty

Grr looks up at Abi and winks.
Abigel: Hiya.
Grr: c'mere Little One, lemme see yer hands fer a sec . . .
Binx mews, "I scare easy too."
Denny nods "Abby"
Grr nods to Binx "see, and ya get NINE lives . . you'll go far"
Abigel hides her hands behind her back.
Grr: aww, c'mon, its fer . . .erm . . science
Grr: and swordplay . . truth be told . . .
Denny yawns "After six thousand years I regret nothing and I fear less"
Lady Omega smiles.. Welcome, Abi...
Abigel inspects Binx for a while. "Hello, kitty. Hiya, YinYang Angel. Hello, Lady Red.” Abigel sniffs and sneezes. "Hiya angel lady in pink."
Grr leans back around to keep talking to Denny "six kay? fucke me gently with a chainsaw, well, see, ya can figure where i come off thinkin ya immortal, right? ya musta read my files by now . . . i'm tha Spring Chicken of tha Institute"
Grr grins "apart from Abby here . . ."
Grr: g'wahn, show me yer hands . ..
Abigel rolls her eyes and shows her palm to Grr briefly.
Denny nods "I wasn't always an angel you know"
Grr: really? huh . .. .
Lady Omega smiles..
Grr rapidly assesses Abby's palm.
Grr: tha other . . . ?
Abigel rolls her eyes, but not seriously "Leave me alone, will ya?"
Lady Omega: I wouldn't hold out much hope for that, Abi..
Lady Omega: He's tenacious. Once a coyote gets his maw on you... that's it.
Denny turns to Omega "I still do not think I rightfully thanked you for saving me from my sorry existance"
Lady Omega smiles.
Lady Omega: Saving you?
Abigel sighs and shows her other hand too.
Grr looks at it and nods.
Denny smirks "If not for you I'd probably still be a fucking Shadow"
Grr: too much right hand, grip lightly with it and stear tha sword, tha power comes from tha left, ya should get callouses on tha left, not tha right . . .it'll come, after tha blisters fade . . .
Abigel: Ooooh, man in black, literally.
MB: Good evening everyone.
Grr: ha
Grr: yup
Grr: anyway, Abi, i got my own reasons fer pesterin ya . . . trust tha honesty of a simple critter there, hey?
Abigel tilts a head, admitting slowly "Yea..."
Denny yawns "Evenin'"
Grr: righto then . . .settled, i'm simple and yer not shakin me yet . . .
Grr: howzit hangin, MB?
MB looks down... How did you know?
Grr taps his muzzle "tha nose knows"
MB: I really should go see a doctor.
MB cracks a smile.
Abigel: Hmmm?
Denny turns to Abby "So, Trouble, you have been staying safe I hope?"
Abigel takes a step back, just in case
Binx searches another pocket for another snack. She licks her paws sucking the taste of string cheese off of each finger.
Grr extends paws and wriggles claws "i got medikin skills . .. i can fix yer plumbin . .. ":"
Abigel smiles to Denny. "Well, I painted Blue Pink, if that’s what you mean"
Denny facepalms "Oh, My, God... are you insane!?"
Abigel grins
MB: Yes, of course you can Grr. Someone tried a similar line on me once, and I really did have to go see a doctor.
Denny smirks "You're gonna get us all killed you know don't you?"
Grr: thats what she means by OUT of trouble . . .i do what i can, mate, but. ,. . hell, i never been much fer words, but it sounded fuckin mental . . .
Grr: but, can ya imagine it? ha
Abigel smiles. "Yeah, I behave"
Grr: behave like WHAT thuogh, is tha question on his lips Abby . . . ha
MB: Nice shirt Grr. It just finally registered.
Denny continues smackig himself in te head "Damn ye child if ya wasn't Larissa's I'd have kicked yer ass long ago"
Abigel grins. "Well, on the Shadow side being the child of Lorne's protects me.
Abigel sticks a tongue out
Abigel: Which is way boring though
Abigel: I dont wanna be protected
Denny rolls his eyes "Why do you think I'd have kicked your ass, Lorne is a moron"
Abigel laughs
Abigel: Anyways, Shadows are chicken
Denny shakes his head "Abby, you and Brit will be the two tha contribute to me becoming bald"
Abigel giggles picturing Denny bald. "Lovely"
Abigel: I want a bike for my next birthday though
Binx's whiskers twitch as she nearly lost a life to a shadow recently. She smiles like the cheshire cat though at the thought of the woman nearly losing her bra when she pulled Binx's tail. A look of pure satisfaction crosses her face...and then...her ears flatten again at what followed.
Denny looks at her with a smile "Yanno, you're a total pain in my ass"
MB: Shadows can be deadly opponents. If you were older, you might not be so glib about them.
Abigel rolls her eyes. "Come on, Blue has a matching whip to her hair"
Abigel: Isn’t that lame?
Denny: I was a Shadow I know their ways
Denny: Blue will tear your heart out without hesitation
Abigel raises an eyebrow. "Well, maybe they are chicken since then. I hope you had some real shadowy about you"
Denny fades back into a dark corner without a word.
MB: Wow, my ears just popped.
Abigel: So, black man... what is your story?
Grr: Abbi, in case ya were wonderin, tha Shadows are how ya say, not so much about tha huggin and kissin and more about tha flayin and discectin. i been in two bloodbaths in that place. so, spare us a thought fer tha memories, i have pulled two of my Kin dead outta that place, shredded, and riddled with holess
Grr stares at the fire for a while
Abigel raises an eyebrow. "Why for?"
MB: Well, it there's a beginning, middle, and end. I haven't figured out which part I'm in yet.
Binx mews, "Because....they do not back down." She shakes her head and thinks that Abby has the survival instincts of a pampered persian housecat.
Abigel laughs "Ahh, kitty wisdom has got a tongue"
MB: After answering the young ones question with a vague answer, MB goes back to listening intently to the other conversation.
Abigel watches MB. "A true Omegan too."
Grr: true? interestin what ya consider true Abi?
Binx flinches and feels her fur hackle a bit. She slowly extends her middle claw and rubs a whisker meaningfully while essentially flipping the little brat off.
Abigel rolls her eyes. "In this cased a lot of speaking and way less telling"
Grr: and yeah, Binx here is right about tha Shadows, once they decise yer prey, or a threat, its like holdin tha blade of a blender . . .not so good fer yer hand, not to big a deal fer tha blender
Abigel sniffs. "I should just blow the place up"
MB: So sayeth Grr's book of wisdom.
Grr: been tried, its a fuckin volcano, Abi, they cope . . .
Grr: ha, ya think i should start writin these down, MB?
Abigel: Ok, then paint all the walls pink, damn it
Abigel frowns, musing. "That should have an effect on them, righto?"
Lady Omega looks up from her laptop.
Lady Omega: Don't you dare.
Abigel grins, enjoying the picture in her mind
Abigel: Why?
Grr: Abi, tha last time someone suggested paintin tha pit, they tortured them fer days,
Abigel: Well, I dont suggest it then, I just do it
MB: I was just thinking... one thing that would probably really drive them crazy...
Abigel: I aint no chicken
Abigel looks at MB
Binx nods silently lost in thought as she thinks . o O (Yep...a spoiled pink persian pampered housecat.) She can almost envision Abby in a jeweled collar hissing at the world from her loft on Fifth Ave. She gives her paw a light lick thinking of the foundling center.
Abigel: Yes?
MB: just have a whole group of people just move in - take up residence in their lair.
Grr: tore off wings and digits, broke every bone in thir limbs and damaged their brain so bad it took weeks fer them to remember who they fuckin were
Grr: and THEN they had ta start healin tha damage done to their spirit
Abigel: I sat on the throne, that was fun
MB's eyes glint thinking his preposterous thought.
Abigel: Well, they took my Nareth, what WORSE they can fucking do, Grr?
Grr: you really want tsa know?
Grr: DO YOU?
Grr fur rises
Abigel watches Grr quietly "yes"
Binx shakes her head, "Didn't you just say that you are protected there? If so, you can horf a hairball on their throne." She rolls her eyes, "Cross the wrong one, and you are dead, little girl. Not a shadow....just...the wrong one."
Grr starts breathing faster
Grr: well, see, this is what could happen
Grr: they could give ya her back
Abigel blinks
Abigel: What do you mean, big guy?
Grr: one chunk at a time, one fettid remnant at a time, make ya hold them, make ya cradle them, make ya love tha pieces
Abigel: You are sick
Grr: they can take tha memories of her ya have and bend them twist them till shes nothin mor ethan tha nightmare ya never be free of
MB: You've been reading the wrong books Grr. Maybe it's time for some of the lighter stuff.
Grr: they can do both, then make ya fuckin eat what left, so you KNOW what they did, and you become them, they can do that Abbi, and they would do it and fuck eachother over yer broken body and make ya beg fer death
Abigel stands, looking at Grr.
Binx mutters, "Ever cross me, and I'll carve my name in your belly so they know who shut her up." With a sassy flick of her tail, she stands and says, "I should leave...thanks for the hospitality......i want to keep the evening pleasant...always." Looking back at Abby and then to Grr, she says, "Brat is not a disability...but could be a life threatening condition...not from me, of course....especially if you are caring for her...but....its a wonder she has lived this long." To Abby, she mutters, "A pink persian in a window seat on fifth avenue."
Grr: this aint fiction, MB
Grr: this is what i've seen
Grr: this is what i've fuckin DONE
Grr: you check my service records, they're in tha files
Abigel: Kitty wisdom stralls the streets, all beware
Grr: and ya know what. it was just a JOB ta me
Grr: tha Shadows, they LIVE fer that
Abigel: They dont see me as a threat Grr.
Grr: THATS what they are. so when Denny, who ALSO fuckin KNOWS, casue HE used ta be one, warns ya, ya LISTEN, yeah?
Binx shrugs as she heads for the door. Hearing the girl's words, she turns and swipes hard at Abby. Claws extended. If she had wanted, she would have struck her face. Holding the claw at her skin, she murrs, "Shut the fuck up before you get hurt."
Grr: not a threat?
MB: I don't suggest that it's fiction, just a bit on the extreme side if you're on an education roll.
Abigel pokes a tongue out
Grr: did Blue see it as a threat? does she see what ya did and wonder what ELSE ya could do?
Grr: do ya think they might wonder if ya might blow up their fuckin House?
Binx swipes again lightening fast and slices Abby's tongue. It is hard enough it will likely need stitches...and Binx smiles at the thought of a wad of gauze in the girl's mouth.
Grr jumps up and tackles Binx
Grr: not in this house, Kit, not my Family
Abigel hisses and holds her bleeding mouth.
Abigel: Fuck
Binx rolls across the floor turning and jumping to her feet. She stands and turns to Grr. With a nod, she says, "Then the little persian needs to learn what she says and to whom she says it too. She runs her mouth off on me again, I do live in the streets." Turning to Abby, she points a claw and says, "Your face is there ONLY because I didn't want to scar you up. Learn some respect.....or it will be beaten into you. Brat."
Grr pins Binx and walks her to the door
Grr: out
Binx frowns yanking away and says, "I'm leaving.
Abigel holds her mouth, and watches the blood on her hand, slowly smiling. "Awight"
Binx picks up her book and walks out.
Grr whispers harshly to Binx
Binx says to Grr, "I don't care who she is. She doesn't taunt the world without chances....and you know it, Grr. If she doesn't learn to curb her mouth....you are gonna be burying your cub there."
Grr: "she may be a fuckin brat, and a cow, and a death-bringer, but she's OUR brat, cow and death-bringer, and WE do our disciplinin, ya were a guest here, remember it and behave like it
Abigel winces, but stands, still bleeding. She is trying to comment, but it hurts.
Binx loses a lot of respect for him and says, "Then...I won't be back. If a guest is treated like this." With a flick of her tail, she walks out.
Grr: so be it, but you do it, i see reason to, and you'll find tha result in fiar measure
Abigel tilts a head watching them, and produces a silk handcerchief she holds. She spits some blood into the fire and wipes her mouth.
Grr hands Abby medical gauze
MB: Well now. Wasn't all that lovely. My heart feels a little warmer.
Grr: get that in there
Grr sighs
Abigel sniffs but pushes Grr's offer away, mumbling something like "I dont fucking need that" but it goes though rather like "Mmffffnnn"
Abigel makes a face and runs upstairs to the lab, spitting blood into a sink and washing her mouth, spitting more blood
Grr shoves it in her hand "use it or i will, i seen Feline wounds lead ta gangreen, ya have ta let it knit good they have allergins"
MB stands
Abigel curses terribly, but it is all a muffled noise only filtering through blood and water and moans
MB: Interesting. If you'll excuse me, I need to go check on something across town.
Grr: sure, MB . . .woulda been nice ta see ya, but .. . . things . . .
Lady Omega looks up..
Lady Omega: GrrBrool.. make sure the brat's wounds are attended to. Whether she likes it or not.
MB: Grr, there are always things, and if it's not one thing it's another.
Grr: on my way
Drak Jefferson says nothings
Lady Omega: And then, if you please, remind her how she is to treat our guests.
Abigel spits blood into the sink continuously and curses when she can
Grr: right
Drak Jefferson remains silent
Grr: you, gimmee yer face
Abigel growls at Grr, stepping back
Abigel spits again into the sink
Drak Jefferson walks back into the stacks silently
Grr: oh, growl all ya like, i can just knock ya out and do it to yer unconcious body
Grr: but i'd rather have yer cooperation, its YER body, after all
Abigel blinks a tear out and pokes her bleeding tongue out
Grr: right, now, good pose, hold that . . .
Abigel rolls her eyes, trying to restrain trembling
Grr rummages behind him in his pack for his MedKit
Grr: now . . you
Grr: hold still and listen to tha words that fuckin come out of my mouth
Abigel wipes her tears and sniffs.
Grr: do i have yer attention in this fuckin matter?
Abigel nods and swallows some more blood. She of course makes a face, still.
Grr grips your head tightly in one very strong, clawed paw, and as equally gently, dabs at the wound with a cooling gel.
Lady Omega looks up.
Marvin Hellman: allo
Lady Omega: Well, hello there, my brassy friend.
Abigel sniffs, but tries to stay motionless.
Grr: now, Binx there seems ta have taken some slight offense at yer tude.
Abigel winces and presses her eyes shut
Grr: and ya know, its wearin thin fer some of tha other populace too
Abigel clenches her fists and stays, trembling slightly. "Mfff"
Grr: hold still!
Grr puts the cooling gel away
Grr: the problem aint yer self, its yer way
Grr: yer angry
Grr: anger is good
Grr: yer wild, wildness if tha preservation of tha world
Grr: wild anger
Grr: gets you and yer squad killed
Abigel listens to Grrr and trembles
Grr: wild anger gets yer Pack killed
Abigel tries to swallow and her tongue is already the size of a melon
Abigel: Mfffffffffffffmmmmm
Grr: wild anger lets ya wake up and realise YOU fuckin got yer Kin slaughtered
Grr looks close in to your tongue, studying it carefully
Grr: wild anger . . .lets ya wake up screamin night after night because YOU killed yer Family
Grr: because YOU slaughtered children and mothers with child and tha old and tha sick
Abigel Nightfire's tears flow as she is trying to speak and she just shakes her head, kicking the table, all the glassware ringing in disdain
Lady Omega purses her lips, listening to GrrBrool
Grr: wild anger leads ya ta say thing, ta do things, that you dont see tha results of till yer friends and Family pay tha price
Abigel nods and sniffs, looking at grr slowly, ovber the pain the idea that he is not exactly describing her situation getting to her and she looks at him with wide eyes
Grr: do ya understand me?
Abigel slowly nods
Grr reaches into his pack again and pulls out a bottle of dark brown liquid
Abigel watches the bottle not overly enthusiastic about its content
Grr: Binx gave ya a warnin, a silly cat warnin, she scratched yer tongue, ooh ahhh, it fuckin hurts, ya gonna be in pain fer a while
Abigel makes a face and her clenched fist ends in her other palm with a slam
Grr: poke out yer tongue
Abigel rolls her eyes and pokes out a swollen tongue
Metin Irata: edersin
Grr: yer not gonna like this . . .but its good fer ya
Grr: like tha lesson of tha scratch
Grr: Binx was our guest, ya know,
Abigel rolls her eyes again
Grr: she was freely invited ta be there, ya saw how she and Joah were,
Abigel raises an eyebrow
Abigel: Goah?
Grr: yeah, Joah
Grr: they are friends . . .
Abigel shakes her head and rolls her eyes
Grr: and now, cause of what happened . . .i threw her out
Grr: cause we dont hold with folks cuttin on ours in our own house
Abigel looks down at that and sniffs.
Grr: now, hold tight fer a sec, this is gonna fuckin burn
Grr dabs the brown liquid over the wound, even through the local the Betadine burns as it does its work
Abigel hisses and grabs Grrs arm, just to hold onto something
Grr: thats it,
Grr: this will heal
Grr: just a random cat scratch
Grr: a moments wild anger, see?
Grr: no real intent ta harm fast reflex
Grr: *past
Grr: awright, ya can put yer tonge back in yer head
Abigel retracts her tongue and shivers at the taste of brown stuff, restraining to spit it all out. "MMMmmmffmmmfffffuck'
Grr: our reputation is what we got here, Little One
Grr: we AINT a fightin force
Grr: we AINT feared because we torture folks and rape their minds out
Grr: we AINT respected fer tha danger we represent ta lives and holdings
Grr: we're respected cause we keep our heads when we have horrors thrown in our muzzles
Grr: do yta grasp that, Abigale?
Grr: we ARE tha horrors
Grr: and yet, we live
Grr: we go on
Abigel breathes through her nose and watches Grr "Aw bee vespected?"
Grr: we learn
Grr: yeah, we are. and ya know how i know that?
Abigel shakes her head
Grr: becasue when all else fails
Grr: when
Grr: when they cant smash, burn, chop or otherwise kill somethin
Grr: they come askin our help
Grr: all of thwem
Grr: they come and the ASK
Abigel tilts a head
Grr: they ask us Abby, cause we know things, and we keep our heads
Grr: tha Shadows
Abigel tries to swallow and then just grunts. "Mmmmfffffmmm"
Grr: Tha Righteous
Grr: Tha Kay Aye
Grr: even tha fuckin Pack
Grr: they come to us fer answers cause they KNOW thats whst we are
Grr: what they DONT know, they suspect
Grr: they fear
Grr: and fer what they dont know, they respect us, so, yes they respect us
Grr: that and i'm fuckin awesome, didn;t ya know?
Abigel giggles.
Grr: right
Grr: so
Grr: manners . . .
Grr: ya KNOW what fuckin manners are, right?
Abigel watches Grrr and shrugs.
Abigel acts as if raising a skirt and pretends to be a princess, walking around on tiptoes
Abigel makes a face
Grr: do i need ta show ya Mrs Beeton's guide fer young ladies?
Abigel raises an eyebrow
Abigel: Mwsss Beetown?
Grr: or do ya think just tha Army Regualtions fer Proper Conduct would do?
Abigel smiles.
Grr: ha, c'mon
Grr: i'll show ya
Abigel nods and scratches her head
Grr bows his head to Omega
Abigel winces every now and then but the pain slowly retreats
Grr: ettiquette, ettiquete . . .ah, here it bloody is
Grr pulls a 4 inch wide dusty tome entitled "Mrs. Beetons Book of Hosehold Management"
Abigel peeks up at Grr from sideways
Grr: ya can read THAT . . or . . . .
Abigel: Ow?
Grr reaches over and finds a magazine thick book
Abigel shakes her head at the sight of the thickness of the Beeton book, hopelessly
Grr: or . .. Royal Australian Army Personell Coder of Conduct vol 3.4 "Personal Conduct for Enlisted Soldiers"
Abigel looks at the thinner one curiously
Grr: this
Abigel: Waws tha?
Grr: thats tha one i learnt from
Abigel nods
Grr: most of tha rules are "do this or get yer head kicked" and "dont do that or we beat ya with bars of soap in socks"
Grr: easy lessons fer not shootin yer mouth off
Abigel lauhgs, as far as swollens toungue allows
Grr: try that one on fer size
Grr: one thing, Abi. i was zoo-born. i never grew up in Fleshie culture like a lot of these other buggers, i didnt even grow up in tha Wild, where ya have a big Family ta teach ya
Grr: i had THIS
Grr: and tha Army
Abigel looks up at Grrr. I was raised in a Carnivale. We had some animals too
Grr: in cages, yeah?
Grr: well, i learnt ta see tha world through cages like that
Abigel pokes out her tongue which regained its old size and seems less hurt. "Yeah"
Abigel sniffs. "Nareth told me the Carnivale world was a cage too"
Grr: Nareht was right
Grr: Shes Tha Huntress
Abigel looks up. "The Huntress?"
Grr nods
Grr: c'mon, lets sit
Abigel sniffs and takes the pamphlet of army manners from him
Lady Omega looks up..
Lady Omega: How is the patient?
Grr: whole and growin
Lady Omega: You are not a child, are you, Abi?
Grr gives a fast and subtle salute and sits
Abigel: Mope
Lady Omega: Then stop acting like one.
Lady Omega: You will apologize to Binx next time you see her.
Abigel: Meee?
Abigel rolls her eyes. "She ripped off my tongue, lady, I didnt raise a hand even, to her"
Lady Omega: You insulted her.
Abigel: She was being all wise on me
Lady Omega: And she gave you one little scratch. She could have cut your throat.
Abigel rolls her eyes
Grr: i think ya'll find Feline pride will ask that, but that she'll be just as sorry as well, fer harm done, more than needed
Grr: and then i'd have had ta kill her
Abigel sighs "All right, I will apologise"
Lady Omega nods...
Abigel shakes her head. "Just a scratch anyways"
Grr: and then i'd have ta explane ta Lari how i let it happen, and why i hadn't taught ya better
Lady Omega: She uses this place as a refuge too...
Abigel: Binx?
Lady Omega: Yes. Her and her ..friend, they live on the streets.
Lady Omega: They were starved enough to attack the diner the other day.
Grr: and how would i tell . . . . . . Nareth . . . .Ab, how wold i tell tha Huntress i failed to protect her Ward?
Lady Omega: Faced down a shotgun for a plate of pancakes. That is hunger.
Lady Omega flinches just a little at the sound of Nareth's name
Abigel scrathces her head. "Well, I think she could learn some manners too, anyways." she takes Grr's pamhlet "I will read this through, just because you asked"
Grr: i'm sorry, Omega, but she has ta know whats at stake
Lady Omega nods...
Grr: ya do that, Abi, and yer welcome ta pass it ta Binx too
Abigel leaves without saying goodbye or thanks

Carrot

Grr's pizza

Grr loaps over
Grr: g'day there little one . .. . i been lookin fer ya

Abigel raises an eyebrow, looking around.
Grr: yeah, you

You: Hiya.

Grr: How are ya? All yer limbs on I see, thats good.. I scented ya to and from Tha Pit a few times, so ya can see why i was concerned, yeah?

Abigel sniffs and wipes her nose, her deep voice shouts of boredom and desipse. "Swell"

Grr: “Yyeah, xactly” Ya hungry? I am, i was thinkin i'd cook, fer a change...”

Abigel perks an eyebrow again, thinking for a while as if the concept was new. "Hungry?"

Grr: “mmhmm, us growin folks like ta take solid food from time ta time ta fill tha belly, and fill out tha skin and bones”

Grr looks casually but speaks seriously "I think it's do ya good, yeah?"

Abigel looks down. "Yeah, food. Okay"

Grr nods and brightens "good one . ... burgers or pizza?"

Abigel scratches her ass "Pizza... I guess."

Grr: “Can do… Comin? Have a seat.”

Abigel looks around with a sigh. "Diner."

Abigel climbs a chair

Grr: “That it is, one of my favourite places...”

Abigel raises an eyebrow but her expression is still of a bored teen as she looks around with doubt

Grr: “Righto”
Grr: “So, i'm gonna MAKE tha bases . . .”
Grr: “bear with me”
Grr grabs bowls, and fishes under the desk for flower

Abigel pulls up her upper lip slightly. "You really cook"

Grr: “uhh, yeah? why? i learnt in tha Army”

Abigel rests her head on her elbows. "I just find food."

Mark wanders in and gives everyone a small smile... he loooks about, he looks to the girl for a while before moving his eyes to grr, "erm... grr isn't it...?"

Abigel perks a bored eyebrow at the neko. "Yeah, he is called that"

Grr looks under the window "yup, thats me . . i'm . . makin pizza , . . "

Mark nods slowly... "Alright..." Smiles at the mention on pizza... "Mind if i have some?" He moves over to a seat... waiting for him to say yes before he sits.
Grr starts mixing the flour, and water, and oil in a a bowl

Abigel takes the glass and licks her fingertip, circling with it over its edge absently.

Grr mixed the flour and starts kneeding the dough

Mark sits down anyway... he sighs and starts to mash the food on the plate.

Grr: awright

Abigel makes the glass sing with her finger as Grr cooks, looking at the process every now and then.

Grr: “So, Abi, where ya been hangin then?”

Abigel puts down the glass and looks up. "Well, not near the library, for sure."

Grr: “Yeah, i gathered that . . .ya know yer welcome there . . .i stay there a lot myself”

Abigel grunts and looks away.

Mark picks up the glass... he sways it in his hand and pours the measily bit of drink down he throut...

Grr finishes the ball of dough, and puts it aside

You: I have a room. I can take care of myself. I dont need anyones help.

Grr grabs the bag of mushgrooms and the sick of salami out of his pack and tosses it on the bench
Grr: a room huh? nice one . . .

Abigel takes a knife and scratches the bartop absently. "Yeah, I painted it all black”

Mark: What a nice friendly colour.. *smiles*

Grr: “Mmmmhmm, cover up tha graffiti and stuff”
Grr: “blood stains and tha like?”

Abigel: “Yeah. It is not perfect though. I should use some ectoplasmic paint or something”

Grr slides his short sword out of its scabbard.

Abigel perks an eyebrow at the sound of a blade.

Grr: prepair ta DIE, salami!

Abigel giggles.

Mark grins.

Abigel rolls her eyes, but smiles for the first time.

Grr starts to hack at the salami, seemingly wildly, but close attention will show quite deliberate alternating strikes.

Mark looks between the two.. "Im guessing you both are omega..?"

Abigel: I am Abigel

Mark smiles, "Good to meet you.. Im Mark."

You: So... consider me an alpha

Grr: nope, Omega is a pale lookin lady, red hair, powerful spirit
Grr: pointy teeth

Abigel rolls her eyes.

Mark stretches his arm over the chair for Abigel to shake as he nods to there words.. "Well.. i meant.. you both work at the library. Your in that clan. Or group.”
Mark shrugs. “not to certain.”

Abigel looks at the hand. "Sure." she shakes it tentatively

Grr: i live there, tha Institute is my pack

Mark nods as he takes his hand back.. "I see." He wipes his hand down his top naturally.

Abigel crosses her arms. "I dont live there. But my mums.... "

Grr gathers up the salami pieces and swaps them for mushroom

Mark: Mums... Plural? *raises a eye brow*

Abigel looks up at the ceiling with a sigh.
Abigel: Complicated.

Mark nods.. "Alright. I wont press you,"

Grr: “yup,interestin family we have”

Mark nods to grr... "Yeh.."

Abigel shrugs. "The are both dead anyways."

Grr: died, they both died, not quite tha same
Mark nods slowly.. "Im sorry to hear that.."
Grr looks at Abi carefully
Abigel continues scratching the table. "Yeah, Grr is right. One is an angel who can only come to me when I sleep and the other was eaten alive, because that is a nice hobby"

Mark itches his neck.. "Right... sounds... delightful."

Abigel looks back at Grr in the eye briefly before focusing on the knife again.

Grr starts rapidly hacking the mushrooms into slivers whilst looking Abi in the eye
Grr: "die mushroom scum, die"

Mark half smiles at Grr... "I have gun... might work better."

Mark: Maybe some explosives if we want to go really over the top.. *smirks*

Grr makes a pile of massacred mushroom, and flicks his sword, re-sheathing it with a flourish
Grr: “not needed mate, spit roast, maybe”

Mark nods.. "Righto."

Grr: right, now tha bases
Grr: so, Abi, how about what ya do fer fun? hey?

Abigel chips out small pieces from the table carefully. "So yeah... they brought me to this place and expected me.... Actualy I dont think they even expected anything of me. So yeah, I have a place and I live there. Not in the library, no."
Abigel looks up: “Fun?”

Mark looks over to Abi.. then down to the table with a slight frown.

Grr: yeah, ta pass tha time with all yer freedom

Abigel: “I stare.”

Grr: “hey, cool, nice”
Grr: “see anythin?”
Grr: and if ya say "infinity" i'm givin ya a spankin . .. ha

Abigel: “Sure. I see the black walls. Relaxing.”

Mark itches his ear.. "Sound fun.. you should come on down to fish co. Might find some fun there if you ever want to take time out.."

Grr starts flattening out the dough onto a pan

Mark: Us kittens can be fun *smiles..* Much better than a wall im sure.

Abigel regards Mark doubtfully

Grr looks at Mark with a protective, predatory glance as he pauses in the flattening

Mark itches his head... looking at them both.. "Ok.. Never mind."

Mark gives them both a vague smile.. "Just a suggestion"

You: I am sure you kitties enjoy chasing mice and fishing and all. You see, I know where all the mice are and fish. I snap a finger and they are there." a bunch of mice appear in the middle of the kitchen, running to separate corners franctically
Abigel shrugs, unimpressed by her own trick

Grr: hmm

Mark shakes his head.. "Na... i dont like mice or fish.. now sweets are nice..." he smiles... "We just play around and have fun"

Grr starts spreading tomato paste around the pizza bases

Abigel growls, raising her voice. "I grew up at a place I had a birthday every other day. Dont tell me I dont know how to have fun"

Grr: mmmhmmm . . .

Mark frowns, looking up to her. "Im sorry..."

Mark: Didn't mean to upset you abi,

Grr: so . . .Abi, ya had any formal combat trainin? now THAT is fun . . .
Abigel slams the knife on the table and crosses her arms, looking at the pizza being prepared.

Abigel: “Combat training?”

Grr: “cause i can see ya know how ta treat a knife with respect”

Abigel seems sniffs. "I have punched Blue and Labyrinth once or twice..."

Grr: “punchin anybody with a hand can do that. I mean how ta hurt folks without leavin a mark Or tear an arm off and make em ask fer tha wet end

Mark frowns a little... knowing all about that.

Grr:” Tricks and traps of ambush and stalkin”

Abigel bites her lip. "I could use that"

Grr: “Small arms combat, close in fire support. Artillery and demolishions”
Grr: “Room clearance tactics and prisoner extraction”

Abigel chuckles. "Do you want me to wear a red headband too?"

Mark smiles marginally at the comment.

Grr: “No”

Abigel cleans the dirt from beneath her nails. "Okay"

Grr: “But i want ya ta focus on what ya can do and what ya are. it . . err . . .worked fer me. I was zoo born Abi”

Abigel tilts a head. “Focus. Why?”

Grr: “cause ya have a gift”

Mark looks at his watch and get out of his chair.. "Well.. im off.. Il see you two some time maybe."

Grr: “Cause ya aint like most of tha Fleshies”

Grr nods
Grr spreads salami and mushroom over the pizza

Mark nods to the pair and exits briskly.

Abigel nods, passing him a plate of sweets that she pulls out from under a newspaper
Abigel: Take care

Mark smiles, taking the sweets.. "Thanks."

Grr fishes a bag of shredded cheese and heaps it over the top

Abigel watches the red haired kitty take Marks place and nods. "Catpeople"

Grr: yeah . . great aint they? tasty

Abigel looks at the mess she has carved out of the table in front of her and shrugs, taking now the fork, discovering the joy of scratching parallel lines into it

Grr looks at the pizza, nods and slips it into the oven

Grr: so . . .do ya think any of that stuff sounds like fun, and . . .useful to ya?

Misfitz Messerchmitt scrunches her nose a little and pauses in the doorway. "Ah swear.. this place stinks an' I dun think it's the sewers.." Trails off and casts her dully glowing eyes towards Abigel. "Hmm.. suppose that should be as friendly a greeting I should expect.. eh?

Abigel shrugs. "Sure, if you say so. Some people just get on my nerves..." she stops as the kitty speaks. "Yeah, hiya"

Grr: “cause . . .well, i aint much of a conversationalist, or a deep thinker like tha others, but i got skills, and i'm . . .good at it”

Grr looks under the nook at Misfitz

Misfitz Messerchmitt snickers quietly and scans the counter for a menu, quickly plucking one up to thumb through it. "Hallo.." Was softly murmured while she browsed for food to choke down.

Grr: “you talkin about tha way i smell, or my cookin, Kit-lady?”

Abigel looks back at Grr "So they get on my nerves, like that Blue bitch or even your ladyship. Would be fun to send them to hell"

Misfitz Messerchmitt peers over the top of the menu and offers a crooked smile. "I more meant tha' whole damned town...

Grr: cause i'm makin pizza . . tha rest of that is . .err . .on tha house

Misfitz Messerchmitt gingerly rub the back of a hand against her nose. "Eh, let's say I fell off the back of a truck and am a wee bit new around here. So I'd be the last to judge a warm meal so long as it ain't got roaches on it."

Grr: mmhmmmm well, now, Abi, see . . .tha trick ta livin a long and un-scarred life
Grr: mmmhmmm, well, i think we got enough ta slide ya some too

Abigel makes sure parallel lines scratched with fork stay there for a long time, so she is making a thorough job with them. "Long and unscarred."

Misfitz Messerchmitt offers a playful two fingered salute. "Let's see what I can scrap up money wise.." A hand was already rummaging in a pocket to pull out a few crumpled dollar bills.

Grr: yeah . . not like me
Grr: short lived and heavily scarred
Grr: nice one
Grr: awrighht, looks ready . . .smell that, yeah?

Abigel sniffs as the pizza starts to dominate the air. "Not bad."

Misfitz Messerchmitt turns her head slowly to watch the carving compliments of Abigel. "So.. you have a name or will 'hey you' work?

Abigel pokes out a tongue, still entangled in artclass. "Abby"

Grr gave you Slice of Pizza.

Misfitz Messerchmitt grins. "Well, nice to meet'cha then Abby.. I'd be Fitz or Fitzy.. take yer pick.

Grr: pizza fer three

Abigel looks up, dropping the fork "Yummie"

Misfitz Messerchmitt couldn't have offered a more wide-eyed gawk to the pizza, stomach rumbled and she'd quickly take a bite.. cursing being the damn stuff was still hot!

Slice of Pizza whispers: Yummy, Good Pizza!

Abigel grabs a slice and nods, her mouth already full. "Nice mffff to mee... you Fizz"

Misfitz Messerchmitt snickered, covering her mouth with a free hand as not to send partially chewed pizza bits flying. "Mhph.. yea'..'

Grr: GODDESS, hot, hot, ow

Misfitz Messerchmitt cringed a bit at Grr's appearance seemed to finally sink in though she really wouldn't say much.. not a good start to make enemies already.
Grr: whats up, Kit-Lady, never had a Shifter feed ya and not tear off yer arms ta make desert with?

Misfitz Messerchmitt slowly and surely inhales the pizza slice, choking on the last mouthful. "Ngh.. w-what? Yeah.. I guess tha's a nice way to put it. Sorry, ah usually dun stare.

Abigel eats two pizza slices covered together with 3 bites.

Misfitz Messerchmitt idley thumbs over the silverware closest to herself.. lost in the glimmer for a few moments before peering back towards Grr with her eeriely glowing eyes.

Abigel sniffs again, putting the fork and the knife absently in a backpocket, and salutes. "Thanks for the food, general." She scribbles some notes on a paper. "And that is my address. In case... you need a headcount"

Grr grins at Mizfitz

Misfitz Messerchmitt frowns and lowers her gaze towards the counter infront of herself.

Grr: and ya know ya can always call, Abi . . if ya feel tha itch ta make stuff go boom

Abigel smiles brightly. "Oooh, I do feel that often."

Potion Pink

Abby murmurs "Her own free will." absently as she glares at the samples of scale she has hid among the pages of a random book in a hurry. She aquired them from an angel called Jortek. She dances over to the lab happily with the book in her hand.
"We /hate/ pink, dont we?"
She stares back at the scales and smiles as she finds just one strand of blue hair stick to one of them. She puts the samples of Blue's tail and hair into a vial, and looks around in the lab. She remembers the tainted holy water from the church and she uses an eyedropper for just one drop of it into another vial. "I need the colour."

She looks outside to the city's dark fog. Seven different toxins and the blood of someone powerful. A drop of ectoplasm, and her spit. The whole concoction burnt in the fire of the library would definitely do the trick.

Abby focuses on gathering the materials with a never experienced determination.
