Sector 4 mid afternoon?? athermercy September 11 2011, 04:07:12 UTC

[There was no particular reason why Elaine Belloc was on that place at that time with a corporeal form. Really none at all. Okay, there was. She had been spending too much time with her family in the Lux lately. That was it. She needed to get away from uncle and --not really but sort of-- cousin and take some fresh air. As much as she loved Adam and Lucifer, she knew she’d be bound to miss them when they were gone and she lingered alone in her Creation. God, she put her hands into her pockets as she walked while she mused about that. She didn’t think she has the right to feel lonely or sad about that.

She didn’t have that kind of privilege anymore. So enough with the self-pity. The thought faded completely without an echo and feeling numbed within her.

Her mind and eyes took the Sector around her as she walked aimlessly on the streets and alleys. It reminded her to the suburbs of London a little. It didn’t resemble them with the layout, but breathed a similar life into people. She could picture her friend Mona walking next to her, talking about the new Spice Girls single on their way to her home. But Mona wasn’t there; she was in her Creation, looking after hedgehogs and voles everywhere. Maybe she needed to meet new people.

Right. Not in her All-Seeing way.]

[Jason's just dropped off his most recent set of tires in the Sector and, so, his hands are empty and the tire iron tucked into the waistband of his jeans as he trudges along the street. So far the day really hasn't been so bad, minus the run-in with the dog earlier and it's kind of nice after the numerous arrivals of his 'family' to the City has ultimately put Jason on edge, made him consider and re-consider his only friendship and the increasingly positive nature of his relationship with his father. There's no use to it now in the vigilante's mind.

As he moves along the road back toward the poorer end of Port, he doesn't really look around, not caring about making friends or meeting people, instead only about his current job and trying to scrape cash together. With a frown, he considers whether he should buy or steal his lunch today.]

Re: Sector 4 mid afternoon! athermercy September 11 2011, 07:50:25 UTC

[She was on that particular road, unknowingly (or perhaps not so ignorant) intercepting his path when he moved. Elaine was looking on the buildings around her, watching the people mingled and went on their routine -- Be it burden or bliss they got to carry. That was when she almost ran into Jason.

Almost, he was on the other side of the street when she crossed it.]

Hey!

[She called out to call his attention after she reached the sidewalk to approach him.]

Are you hungry?

[Way to go, she thought. She just couldn’t not be Omniscient, could she? Not with them. But the timing and the body language, she wanted to argue, could have been subtle clues.]

Re: Sector 4 mid afternoon! under_thehood September 11 2011, 15:27:46 UTC

[Jason at first doesn't think she's talking to him. After all, he doesn't think that he stands out too much, but when she's asking if he's hungry, the teenager half-turns to face her, eyebrows furrowed. That wasn't really a casual question there; something's up.]

No. [He adopts a casual, amused expression as he shakes his head.] Not really. Already had some.

[A lie, but he doesn't figure a complete stranger will pick up on that.]

Re: Sector 4 mid afternoon! athermercy September 11 2011, 18:51:39 UTC

[Wasn’t that a fantastic ice-breaker? Pfft. Elaine wanted to grab her head for her failure. How did Death do this so naturally? Talk to them so easily like their oldest, dearest friend? In a way they could intrinsically trust her since the beginning, even before they realized it was their time to take her hand. She tried the same, but it did not come so naturally to her.

Where was Death when she needed her, anyway? Her family was here but they didn’t know Her yet. Awkward.

When he lied, Elaine cocked an eyebrow at him as if she needed some convincing to buy that.]

Oh yeah? What did you have? [Hey, maybe her ‘power’ was detecting if people were properly nourished or not. Who knew. When was the last time they ate and all that. She made a short pause to add.] You looked hungry, so I was going to give you a free meal.

Re: Sector 4 mid afternoon! under_thehood September 14 2011, 15:54:01 UTC

[Jason eyes Elaine suspiciously, not at all dropping his guard. Okay what is with this lady and wanting to feed him? ] Chicken fingers and coleslaw. [To him, it sounds natural, perfect in tone and intonation. And there's no way he's accepting a free lunch from anyone, much less a woman who just walked up to him off the street.

Maybe she's been put under some weird mind control to bug random teenagers with random questions? That's always a possibility. Or she's completely off her rocker. That's also a possibility.]

Re: Sector 4 mid afternoon! athermercy September 15 2011, 04:15:02 UTC

[Elaine makes a pause after that answer. He makes it sound like the truth. But there’s a loop in there.]

No dessert?

[She is serious with the question and glancing at an ice-cream parlor across the street.]

Re: Sector 4 mid afternoon! under_thehood September 16 2011, 20:39:40 UTC

[Jason follows her gaze and furrows his eyebrows. She can't be serious.]

I don't really have a sweet tooth. [Glancing back to her with a frown. Crap. What kid doesn't like ice cream?]

Sector 4 mid afternoon! athermercy September 17 2011, 09:47:15 UTC

[Ohh she catches that glance.]

What? Not even for ice-cream in a summer afternoon?

Re: Sector 4 mid afternoon! under_thehood September 19 2011, 02:43:02 UTC

[Uh oh, he might be pinned down with that one.]

Thanks but no thanks, I'm not the handout-accepting kind of guy.

Re: Sector 4 mid afternoon! athermercy September 21 2011, 05:07:28 UTC

Look, you can just take the ice-cream and go.

[One last try.]

It isn't as if you had to stay and eat it with me.

Re: Sector 4 mid afternoon! under_thehood September 22 2011, 02:59:47 UTC

[Even that doesn't sound good to him. Why does this weird lady keep trying to feed him?]

Let me guess, you're the witch who eats Hansel and Gretel.

Re: Sector 4 mid afternoon! athermercy September 22 2011, 07:46:04 UTC

No. Sorry, but I think between you or an ice-cream, I'll pick the ice-cream.

Re: Sector 4 mid afternoon! under_thehood September 22 2011, 20:19:28 UTC

Still don't believe you. [Shrug.] Still don't need ice cream, thanks but no thanks.

Sector 4 mid afternoon! athermercy September 23 2011, 08:30:11 UTC

[Inwardly, she sighs. At least she tried to help. It makes her feel slightly less impotent.

She takes a step back.]

I'm sorry, I guess I was wrong with you.

Re: Sector 4 mid afternoon! under_thehood September 23 2011, 14:57:53 UTC

[Jason pockets his hands again now that he feels the threat has disappeared with her taking a step back.]

Yeah, you were.

[And then his stomach gives an untimely grumble. Shit.]
