Irvine wasn't exactly the type to wonder what the hell happened to the world. Politics, religion, the whole crazy train of things, he really didn't care for it. However something as crazy as a time freeze and spazzing people, made things weird for him to not ignore. But he thought heavy as he simply walked down the streets with his eyes looking around the sidewalk. His thoughts were filled with, "What happened?" Or "What happened now?" Whatever occured it made Irvine focus on the other people, staring at them uncomfortably.

Unfortuneately he didn't look in front of him, as he fell down on the ground after hitting a woman. Irvine looked around in shock as he looked and saw the woman in what looked like a maid uniform was what he bumped into. Irvine blinked then replied, "Oh...I'm so sorry. I...I wasn't paying attention."

Falling all over herself, Meg collapsed in a heap of black skirt and tux jacket, hair falling into her face. Pausing a moment, she roughly jerked her mousy-brown waves aside and glared. "Why don't you look where you're going? Maybe you should pay attention. Other people are walking on this sidewalk, you know!"

More glaring from fierce brown eyes. Meg got to her feet, dusting herself off, and then retrieved her leather bag, stooping to pick up its contents from the pavement. A little makeup, a journal, a phone, typical girl stuff but for the note book that had fallen open - covered in calculus III notes.

Having regained her composure, Meg returned her attention to the man sitting on the ground. "Er. Sorry."

Irvine felt bad as he said, "No, I should have watched where I was going..." He then went down and started to help the woman with her things as he added, "Here let me help you with these things." Irvine shook his head and replied, "I was just noticing a lot of...um...weird things happening. I hope you don't think bad of me." Irvine kept glancing at the woman as he thought, "Wow...just like in my dirty magazine...a maid...wonder if she's...nah."

"No, really, I'm okay." Meg hastily shoved her belongings back into her bag, getting to her feet again. A cursory glance at the sky. "Things do seem pretty weird around here though. Like someone just keeps throwing a blanket on the sun, those shadow things, I don't even know what those are... I guess we're out for the same reason. I couldn't just go to work, really, it didn't seem right with everything just all going nuts... "

Adjusting her bow tie and her coat, Meg offered the man standing near her hand, looking at her feet awkwardly.

"Meg Murry. Sorry to yell at you and all."

Irvine eyes widened when she said the things about the sky. He then stated, "So, you saw those images too...then I take it you must've seen...well the odd behavior of people too." Irvine was curious about these events because they hit close to his life...more importantly his financial life.

Irvine then shook his head and extended his hand out and add, "No need to apologize Ms. Murry, and the name is Irvine, Irvine Kinneas professional lady killer and taker of odd jobs at your service."

Meg took his hand and shook it with quite a firm grip for such a skinny girl.

Hysterical snort-giggle. "Professional lady-killer?" Meg stared at Irvine for a few seconds and then started giggling again. "I mean... you're not ugly or anything, really, really you're not, but... who introduces themselves as a lady-killer? How about I just call you Irvine and you call me Meg, and we'll be just fine."

Sobering a bit, Meg, bit her lip. "People have been acting really funny. I don't know why either."

[ladiesmanirvine]

Irvine chuckled at the woman's laughter as he replied, "Well, thanks for calling me not ugly...I suppose." Irvine for a split second actually thought nothing had happened. Then Meg reminded him of the events as he looked at the people passing by him and replied, "The world keeps on turning as if nothing happened, yet only a few of us...saw the world freeze in place and fast forward in a dramatic way."

Irvine shook his head as he said, "I dunno, what happened, but I wanna find out."
