richard and boo
[21:51] poly2deuces2: Boo was lost. She wasn't sure how she wandered into Sparta...maybe the mites had confused her too much. Damn! Taking the trains on mites had the be the best way to get Vanished surely Maddox had told her that a hundred times! She had too though..she didn't have two coppers to fill her bike with fuel. So she had ended up at the end of the line Sparta station and now existed...feeling quite scared. This was a wild land...eventually she made it to a pub with her head still reeling from coming off the mites.
[21:53] wobblefluff: Richard was sharing a quiet drink with himself. He was tired, and looked a little worse for wear. His stubble was growing out slightly, and he rubbed his jaw, turning his head to shake the kinks from his neck. HIs eyes roved over the room, at the drunk sitting in his booth, the couple of kids playing pool, before locking onto the girl who almost stumbled into the pub. His eyebrow kicked up slightly as he turned back to his drink.
[21:59] poly2deuces2: She had to get home. But first she had to feed her belly and for that...she needed coin. Boo pushed her bright blue hair (looked more black all wet!) off her face and strode to the bar. She waved over the bartender. "Any girl work your back room sir? You can have one tonight and keep ten percent."
[22:01] wobblefluff: Richard nearly choked on his drink. This woman... no, this girl. This girl was crazy. He stood abruptly, and shot a look at the bartender. "She's... obviously a bit insane. I'll take her off your property shall I?" His fingers gripped lightly at her bicep, and he attempted to tug her out as quickly and quietly out of the bar as soon as possible. Who knew what was even in the back room of that place?
[22:11] poly2deuces2: Boo wasn't strong...she was tiny compared to most people so next to Richard she really did seem like a child. All the same she jerked herself away from him and scowled. "This ain't yer business unless you're lookin' to drop some coin." she said and turned to the tender. "Only for the night, mind you. I aint' a contract girl." she cast a look around the place.
[22:13] wobblefluff: He frowned, dipping his head slightly to speak into her ear. "This is not the place to ask to be let into the back room girl, you understand? Now I'll give you some money, but only if you come with me right now." His eyes were hard and flat, serious.
[22:20] poly2deuces2: She listened. She didn't know this area and had heard enough stories to know it was dangerous..but she was an Is-Cam girl through and through and so thought that nothing could be more scary than the total madness of her own chaotic barony. Her eyes slipped to his and then back to the barman...who had a hungry and smug grin. That meant danger...she knew that much. She gave Richard a little nod and the bartender a apologetic smile. "Won'
[22:20] poly2deuces2: "Won't be needed! Here we go." she slipped her hand through Richard's and tried not to let her unease show on her face.
[22:20] poly2deuces2: ((WOW you get...the spirit of sparta so well! <))
[22:20] wobblefluff: (XD I tried)
[22:22] wobblefluff: Richard breathed a slow sigh of relief, striding out with her on his arm. He wasn't much of a chivalrous man, but this girl... she seemed too young to have to go through something like that. He kept her close, staking his claim on her even as he walked her down familiar alleys towards one of his boltholes.
[22:28] poly2deuces2: She could feel that very clearly....he sent dangerous looks to anyone that looked at her with interest. She knew she was special: not only a young woman but small and soft and not starving. The soft round potbelly she had was quite valuable....even more in Sparta she suddenly realized. She didn't question Richard as he led her through the streets but as they got farther from the train station she got more and more nervous. "There're those that'll notice if I don't come back." she finally managed even though her voice shook.
[22:30] wobblefluff: He was deep in thought when she spoke, and Richard glanced down momentarily. "I just need to pick up some money. I am not going to harm you." He spoke softly and carefully, offering her a rare smile to calm her down. "Don't worry."
[22:33] poly2deuces2: She was still nervous. Saying 'I won't hurt you' was one of the main things people said before they [i]did[/i]. Still she swallowed down her fear and trotted beside him..she had to scamper to keep up. Money. Did they not use cred in Sparta? That would make sense...CitGov didn't put much effort into machines in the poorer Baronies and everyone knew the Spartan barony government was only for show. She wished for the tenth time she hadn't wandered into Sparta.
[22:36] wobblefluff: Richard led her down the final alley way, unlocking his door and stepping inside. He waited for her to enter first before shutting the door behind her. Letting out a tired sigh, he strode into his bedroom, reaching under the mattress for his purse. His fingers brushed his long knife, and a gun before finally settling on the cloth bag. "How much do you require to get back to your home?"
[22:36] poly2deuces2: ((so are they in his house where all the kids live or is this a shared room or what?)
[22:38] wobblefluff: ((Its just an empty house))
[22:38] wobblefluff: (he wouldn't bring a stranger to the house where the kids live))
[22:38] wobblefluff: ((Empty apartment type thing rather))
[22:40] poly2deuces2: Boo blinked. "I only got off th' train to find a meal." she peeped. "An...an' I gotta fuel m'bike. It's back in Is-Cam." she winced...maybe she shouldn't have said that...she didn't know what attitude Spartans might have toward her Barony. Still the way she looked gave her away she figured. She saw the thin mattress and whipped her top off before sitting down. "I'm worth three pounds at least, but I'll take whatever you've got...with my thanks."
[22:42] wobblefluff: Richard frowned. She was a far way from home, that's for sure. "You're hungry?" He tucked the money into his pocket before going to the kitchen and rummaging through his pantry. There were a few packets of ready-made meals, and he took out a couple to show her. "Which would you prefer?"
[22:49] poly2deuces2: "I'm not picky, Mister!" she swung her legs and gave a grin. Maybe he was actually nice. Of course with her top off he could see her round belly and her perfect little breasts...but also the under-arm holder holding a slim pistol. She bit her lip. "What was so bad about that place? I've worked pubs before...not lately, but..."
[22:51] wobblefluff: His eyes picked up each nuance and curve of her body, and his smile seemed slightly strained as he turned back to heat up the food. Having a pistol wasn't odd at all, and if she had come to Sparta without one, he might have considered her an idiot. "Its not safe." Was his simple response, waiting patiently for the food to heat up before heading out to her. "here."
[22:51] wobblefluff: ((And I might need to go soon))
[22:54] poly2deuces2: She nodded as she took it and dug in. The topless was just getting ready for..whatever he wanted of her really but she had no awkwardness about it. It was totally natural and she shovelled the food past her rosebud lips like she was starving. She wasn't starving...she looked well fed actually but she didn't put up her nose at the food...she ate with enjoyment. "Oh. So good." after a moment she slowed down. "I don't know Sparta." she admitted. "I heard stories but...."
[22:57] wobblefluff: Richard sat down next to her, his hands placed lightly on his own thighs. She was quite pretty, he realised, and smiled at the way she ate. She reminded him of the kids, a little. "The stories don't even explain half of it. You could've been in some serious shit if I wasn't there."
[23:01] poly2deuces2: Her eyes widened...clearly impressed. "Wooooow. I had no idea. Good thing you were there!" she looked a bit bashful suddenly. "It's dyin' down some, but it was the 'mites made me so damn emptyheaded." she kept stuffing her mouth with the food but remembered to politely swallow before speaking again. "Maddox--that's my man--he don't want me ever goin' into Sparta, so I never did. Ain't where the work is, anyhow." she patted her little pistol to indicate what she meant by 'work'.
[23:03] wobblefluff: "Ah." He smirked a little when she petted her pistol, and patted his crotch in turn. "My work." Richard joked, lying back on the mattress slowly. The alcohol from earlier was burning through his chest, and he sighed tiredly.
[23:03] wobblefluff: Closing his eyes.
