[He's in the way on your sidewalks...leaning against a wall, standing or sitting. The rich are having a great time in this decade but the poor? Not quite so much. And this is one of the worst sort of the poor. Wild eyed, maddened expression, hunched into a heavy grey overcoat and holding a pageboy cap in hands covered in ratty grey wool fingerless ( Read more... )

the hat is for the effect, at least he won't spend it on booze?, affected by curse, crazypants, hobo!master

Sister Rain approached the poor man huddling by a building. "Sir, might I give you a blanket against the cold?"

He tilted his head to look up at her sideways, frowning slightly at her and contemplating her and the offer. "You might." His voice seems strangely cultured for a street person.

She crouched down beside him, handing him a heavy gray wool blanket as she shook her head. "You seem unlike most of the people I see here. You've fallen on hard times, no doubt."

He took the blanket, wrapping it carefully around his legs.

"One could say that, yes." Hard times. if an asylum fits into your definition of that.

[Lucy has seen Harry before. In fact they've got a long standing relationship of sorts. Occasionally he thinks she's his dead wife and occasionally he saves her from muggers. Okay once he saved her and since then she's felt loyal to him. She stops by to check on him every other day or so and bring him some food. Today is one of those days. She's dressed to go out but she's got a bag with a cold sandwich in it and she's got a glass jar with some soup that's still warm in it. It takes her a little while to find him but when she does, she approaches him with a big smile]

Harry!

[She waves and then takes a deep breath, holds it to avoid the smell and then leans in to press a kiss to his cheek.]

How are you feeling?

[And she holds the soup and the paper bag out for him.]

[Lucy is the highlights of Harry's grey days. Yes, he does get a bit confused sometimes, about who she actually is, but she's nice to him, and he appreciates that. Not many people actually do pay attention to him.]

Lucy.

[He pats her arm gently when she kisses him.]

As well as can be expected, my dear. Yourself?

[The 'my dear' is a symptom of his upbringing rather than any confusion. He's mostly lucid today. He reaches out to take the jar and bag from her.]

Thank you.

Dear lord they're cute mghtbconcussed March 14 2010, 04:42:11 UTC

I'm just ducky, Harry. Going out after this.

[And she twirls in a circle, making the fringed short dress she's wearing flare out about her thighs]

Swanky new dress and everything. Whaddya think?

[She smiles at him then takes up a spot leaning against the wall next to him. Lucy enjoys Harry's company even if he is a little crazy. Half the time she thinks she's crazy too so they sort of fit.]

You got somewhere to be tonight?

[It's more of her checking up on him than asking what his agenda for the evening is. She wants to make sure he's got a spot to go and get out of the cold.]

Weirdly so neverendingbeat March 14 2010, 05:47:30 UTC

You look lovely, my dear, as usual. Smashing dress.

[His smile changes to a little bit of a hunted expression.]

Here. Anywhere. I'm not going back to the institute, you know that, I don't want to be restrained. [pause] I'll find an unused doorway or the like. Same as always.

[He's being polite, so he puts the sandwich away in his pocket. But he opens up the jar and starts to drink straight from it. trying not to slurp. Manners.]
