Leaving the mall to the Casino-- Cloe and Ved; going to meet Ram

Jul 03, 2004 12:53

(ooc: Continued from HereCloe took Ved's hand and walked through the city. The play park was empty, but the streets were full of kids. Some had colors and some didn't. She held Ved's hand tightly. She then remembered the zapper. She decided to tell Ved. "So, when Patsy and the kids and I were at the playpark, we found a zapper. I don't know if it ( Read more... )

Holding hands with Cloe in the park had been peaceful and relaxing, until she brought up that she had found a zapper. He couldn't let Salene handle that thing! She dosen't know how to use them- one misplaced finger and somebody could end up blasted. "Listen, Cloe, maybe I oughtta handle the whole thing with the zapper- I mean, Salene's great and all, but, I just don't want anybody to get hurt, yeah? I know you wouldn't want that either.I just want you to be safe." Whew. He let out a sigh after he finished his sentence. Hopefully Cloe would agree with him, and nobody would stun themselves with the zapper. He hoped there wouldn't be any more talk of technos and chaos. When she mentioned who was going to pay for their bill at the casino, he realized he hadn't thought of it before. He shrugged it off, and smiled when he felt her squeeze his hand. It reminded him of when he was a little boy and his mother had held his hand on the way to the park, and squeezed his hand 3 times, meaning 'I love you'... He gave his smile of approval and ( ... )

Maybe Ved did have a point about the whole Zapper thing. What if Salene misused it by accident? She'd never forgive herself. "I understand, but we should still let her know. She is the city leader and tribe leader. It would be like lying if we didn't say anything." She smiled as he kissed her and then she felt him squeeze her hand. 1...2...3....I love you. She looked up at him and squeezed back 4 times. 1...2....3...4...I love you too.

They reached the casino and Cloe smiled. The last time she had been there was with Ved. But now they were together again, so the past didn't matter. "Did he say when he'd be here?" She was worried if anyone would recognize Ram. Then all Hell would break loose.

ved July 4 2004, 12:20:26 UTC

"Sure babe, I don't see any trouble in letting her KNOW about it- just don't let her TOUCH it." He said, hoping that that last part didn't come out sounding mean- all he wanted was for the mallrats to be safe, even if it did mean he'd have to act a little rough when they were playing with fire. Ved's eyes lit up with happiness and he beamed his way when Cloe sent back 4 squeezes- the ones that meant she loves him back. She had known what it meant. Maybe such tradition won't be left behind after the virus- maybe they really could keep the dream alive, or at least theirs.
When they arrived at the casino, they took their spot next to eachother at the counter, on the stools, where they had first met. Ved hoped Cloe wouldn't remember the awful way he had treated her that day- he was ashamed of how immature he had been back then.
"Well- we didn't set an exact time to meet here doll, he just said around dinner time. But we can have fun ourselves until he gets here, yeah?" He looked in her eyes, but she looked a bit preoccupied by ( ... )

CLoe was very content to be with Ved. He seemed to be enjoying himself to. But for some reason, she wasn't as happy as she could have been. Maybe it was the thought of Ram still being around the city. Maybe it was being nervous about all the kids fighting. Or Maybe it was the memories that came rushing back like a giant wave of when Ved and Cloe sat in the exact same spot. Where they met. Where she hated Ved, but secretly liked him. She looked away for a moment, spotting where Ved had sat when she had put him in a nappy and left her teddy bear with him. The memories...some good...some bad...She snapped back as Ved brushed her hair back. "Oh, well, he''ll show up soon. No rush." Ved could see behind the facade of happiness. He ould see she was a bit nervous. She shook her head and stared at the counter. SHe looked up and then caught the waiter. "I'll have a witch of salem." He nodded and Cloe looked back to Ved. "JUst...out of it a bit. Ved, I know you and Ram are friends but still...it's Ram. It's because of him that I was sent away ( ... )

Ved let out an annoyed sigh. Ram had taken away BOTH of them, and Ram was overthrown, he's not in power anymore. Dosen't Cloe see he's changed? "Yeah, I get what you're saying, he just, even though he took both of us, he's been a good friend after that, ya know?" There was a silent pause and he looked Cloe's unfinished drink up and down and studied her face before continuing. "Listen, he might have been a bad guy before, but he's better now, trust me Clo, we all used to be different back in the day, but just try to make friends, yeah? I mean, if you treat him badly, why shouldn't he treat you the same? Yeah, it sounds a little... Tofu-boy, but its the truth, right?" He wondered if Cloe could forgive and forget what Ram had done. Ram was one of his good friends, and he missed him, he wanted his girlfriend and his friends to get along. Could he convince Cloe that all can be right?

_cloe_ July 5 2004, 12:58:13 UTC

Cloe nodded. He was right...again. "I know you're right. It's just...well, you know. But, I'll try. Promise." She picked up her drink and chugged the rest. She hoped that alchol would help to relax. She didn't want to create a scene when Ram arrived. No, not at all. "I'll do it for you. BUt we don't say anything to the Mallrats, kay? They'll be even more upset than I was when I found out you were still talking to him." Cloe blinked and then paused. "Where did he take you Ved?" He knew where she was, but what about him? He used to be really tight with Ram. It must have been bad if he sent Ved away as well.

ved July 5 2004, 13:17:16 UTC

He leaned his nose in and rubbed against hers playfully. "I know you'll try" he said. He watched her gulp down her drink. She must be REAL upset. Wow. When she mentioned the mallrats getting upset with him, again, it made him so frustrated. He changed so much and tried so hard to fit in with them. Now he can't even talk to Ram unless it was in secret. He fidgeted and fixed his focus on a random spot, thinking back to when Ram was REALLY mad at him that day that he had fought Ram for Cloe. His lips were pursed, but he suddenly snapped back in to reality when she asked him where he took him. He brushed his hand off of the side of his cheek and said "He- he just took me somewhere- somewhere in virtual reality space for a while- but its over now- we're friends now."

[Continued from here.]

Ram made it to the Casino unscathed. His journey went through mostly deserted sectors, so he wasn't too surprised. He stood in the doorway of the smokey building momentarily to see if he could find Ved. Ram looked around the tables first, then at the counter. He smiled when he found his friend and walked over, keeping quiet and his head low.

Ram patted Ved on the shoulder. "Hey!" His tone was friendly and he was sure others wouldn't recognize it. They were only used to him barking out orders. He was also dressed in virt attire, he doubt if they caught him the first time, they'd catch him a second time.

Ram took a seat on the stool on the other side of Ved. He glanced at Cloe breifly. Why did he bring her? Ram thought, almost nastily. He stopped himself from saying anything negative outloud. She was Ved's girlfriend, he'd have to learn to deal with it ( ... )

ved July 6 2004, 13:06:16 UTC

"Ram! Good to see you made it. Uh, Listen," He said, and then leaned in closer to whisper so that Cloe couldn't hear what he was saying "I know you don't like her very much, but hey, she said she'd try to patch things up yeah, and well, she's leaving for the Hen Party in a bit so you don't have to put up with her for long..." He leaned back with a smirk on his face to Ram, then turned towards Cloe and kissed her on the cheek. "So, could I order ya guys anything? Maybe a bloody mary, or some snacks since we're skipping dinner at the mall?" He leaned back with his elbows against the coutner, back facing the counter. They were getting along so far, hopefully he could persuade them to be friends after all.

_cloe_ July 6 2004, 15:04:29 UTC

Cloe smiled as Ved kissed her cheek once more. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad. Maybe Ved was right. Maybe Ram had changed. Ved had changed. And then he walked in. He gave her a look, meaning she was still a virt. She rolled her eyes and then watched Ved lean over and tell him something and then give him a weird look and kiss her again. Cloe chugged the rest of her drink and then motinoned the bartender for another. "So," she turned to Ram. "Kidnapped anyone lately?" She took the drink the bartender put in front of her and took another swig. She knew it would be hard to like Ram, but she couldn't stop the anger she always had for him. Taking her friends away from her. He was still on her bad list, and she was most likely on his.

ved July 6 2004, 15:12:34 UTC

Ved gave a worried look when he saw Cloe chug down another shot, he didn't want her getting drunk, not tonight. Before he could say anything, he heard Cloe say that comment about kidnapping to Ram. He squeezed his eyes together hard to let go of the frustration, but when he opened them back up, the pain was still there. He leaned toward her, and whispered "Cloeee...." and gave her a warning look before Ram could reply back.

[OOC: Ved, Remember posting order, hun! :)]

Ram gave Cloe a cold look. He signaled for a shot from the bartender and turned to Ved. "If I knew your cow girlfriend was going to show up, I wouldn't have come." He gulped down the shot and pounded the glass on the counter. One shot wouldn't hurt.

Ram turned and leaned against the bar, surveying the place. A couple of girls caught his eye, but they were no competition for his Javie.

_cloe_ July 6 2004, 15:33:08 UTC

Cloe shook her head and took another small sip. He hadn't changed. At all. Part of her wished she hadn't come. BUt part of her also wished she had kept her mouth closed. Damn. "....Sorry." She mumbled. "Force of habit. Sorry." She was partially sorry, but how did they know he wasn't still working to take over the city. "Sorry Ved." She mummbled and took another large sip of her drink and then helped herself to some of the bar snacks on the counter. She rested her elbow on the counter and then rested her forehead in, staring at her drink. Why did she have to be such a jerk. She promised Ved she'd try, and that probably meant no talking at all.

ved July 6 2004, 17:19:09 UTC

Ved was sick of this constant fight between Cloe and Ram. How could things change if THEY didn't first? He had managed to tame Cloe down a bit, but he had to tell Ram too. He pulled Ram's arm from the counter and made him face him, and said "HEY!" He yelled, directing it towards Ram more than Cloe. "Stop it! Both of you...just shut up!" He quieted down before he talked about Ram, he knew he was a wanted man and they would have him murdered if they knew who he was. He leaned to Cloe and whispered "Cloe, Ram let you and me go, didn't he?" Then turned towards Ram. "And Ram, Clo and I don't live on a farm, so cut it out guys, will ya?" He hoped Ram wasn't serious about his not coming if he knew Cloe was there. He knew she wasn't his favorite, but he didn't think Ram would mind it if his girlfriend hung around for a bit. It's better than seeing nobody at all. The silence made Ved slam his fist onto the counter and cover his face with one hand, angrily staring down at the counter until one of them gave a reply- which he hoped wouldn't end ( ... )

virtual_ram July 6 2004, 17:28:58 UTC

Ram glared at Ved. How dare he touch him, muchless -yell- at him. Ved was a virt now. Probably crawling with germs.
Ram shuddered at the thought. He didn't hear the rest of what Ved was saying. He just wanted to wash his arm. Skin to skin contact. It bothered him to no end. He no longer had the long lycra sleeves to protect him. He didn't mind being touched by Java, she was clean...but virts?

Ram signaled for another shot. He disliked drinking, but he hated germs more.

_cloe_ July 6 2004, 17:34:21 UTC

Cloe rolled her eyes. A cow? Was that the best he could do? She shook her head. And he didn't let her go. No. She escaped when the technos Fell. She shook her head and leaned down to where Ved's Face was and kissed him gently and whispered in his ear. "I'm sorry. But I'll make it up to you. Tonight." She kissed him again and then took another swig of her drink. It was almost empty. She ws going to get very drunk tonight...
