August 9th, 2013
VirFortisNatus: Zero lead her to the booth and then released her arm. A concerned look in her eyes, but that didn't last long. Took her place back across from the woman and stared at her for a moment. Then eyes cut down to the place where that plate had been placed. Sighed reaching down and into her pocket. From it produced a tiny hotel shampoo bottle full of some brown salve. If she had to tell the woman to rub it on the spot, then she didn't deserve the salve. Gloved hands up with fingers intertwining and elbows placed on the counter. "Who is the pack leader and where can I find them?" -D-
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso was trying not to draw attention to herself. As she was a bit more cautious of what this woman offered her. ::"I told you. I dont know what you are talking about. What the hell are you?"::She kept her voice low still not wanting to draw attention to herself. She took the small bottle of salve as she put it on where the woman had grabbed her arm. Funny for someone to claim they are not a hunter they certainly had some interesting toys. Gloves with silver along the palms of the gloves. She was tempted to take a knife and put it through the womans hand. But, that would draw attention which she did not want.:::
VirFortisNatus: Shakes her head and sighed. "I don't want to hurt you. I'm asking a very simple question. You don't know what an alpha or a pack is?" The expression that had calmed a bit snapped back to those stabbing daggers tinted with annoyance. "Do you think I'm stupid?" When the salve was applied to her arm it eased the burn and would help keep a scar from forming. Of course it wasn't magic so it wasn't a quick fix. What was Zero? Question was ignored. Many thought she was a demon. So Zero went with that at times. People rarely saw her bleed so it worked. Waited for the woman to answer her with patience slowly leaving Zero. -D-
NiteotheAngel: "Im giving very simple answers. I never said you were. I know a lot of things. But, In this case I dont know what you know or why you know them. Good then dont.":: Swallows as she handed the container of salve back to the woman. "Are we finished here? Because I really need to get back to work":: Moses would come out of the back as he came strolling through the cafe every now and then. Seeing Kaly he went and moved toward the two. Low growl with a couple of loud barks was given toward the woman. As Moses picked up a scent on Kaly that he was not familar with after spending most days in and out with her. ::
Alex Vipond: When Alex got the text, one brow rose, but he was already moving. Moss would not grow under his feet. Ever. He pulled in at the cafe, eyes scanning the storefront from behind those shades of his as he slid out of the murdered out Benz. The door was swung shut and a double tap of the fob locked it and set the alarm as he walked away. Alex was lean, brown haired, green eyed, and lanky. Not overly tall, standing at five foot, ten inches, and he looked like a strong breeze might blow him over, if it weren't for the sneakered feet he constantly compared to a certain fast food joint clown's. A faded out Madonna t-shirt was under the light leather jacket, and his jeans had seen better days, though one would be hard pressed to determine if the scattered holes were naturally worn or there by design. They'd frayed a good deal over numerous washings. Pulling the door open, he stepped inside, gum rolling from one side of his mouth to the other, shades lifted and propped up on top of his head as he took in the interior of the cafe. As he heard Kaly, he turned toward her and the woman with whom she sat. The dog was given the once over and Alex proceeded with caution. The dog was not his and well when you get bit in the face by your sister's spaniel at age eight, it kind of makes one leery. And this one could rival Gus in size.
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso looked to Alex as he came in. Moses would growl at the woman that was sitting across from Kaly. Kalypso looked to Moses.::"Shhh Shhh. Boy.":: As she seen Alex she smiled.::"Hey Alex. This is Moses. Moses this is Alex." Moses looked to Alex as she leaned into him wanting to be pet. But, he continued to look toward the woman across from Kalypso. As he was tempted to push the woman over in the booth.::
VirFortisNatus: Another came in. Maybe you should bug out. Don't want to cause a scene. Leaned back in her booth and sighed. "You're right. This girl is useless.." Gloved hand up to wave the girl away. "I know you're lying to me. Now git." Look wasn't annoyed or anything of the such. Only dismissive of the woman. Buttons up the collar and then hands went to the red tie adjusting it back around her neck to fit properly. "Another cup of coffee and I'll leave you alone." -D-
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso nodded as she would look to Alex.::"Hey Alex, can I get you anything?":: Moses would growl as he did not like the woman. She went to get the woman another cup of coffee. And took it back to her. She knew more than she was saying. She figured it was safer to call Alex and talk to him about what happened.::"Thanks for coming. i was not sure who else to call since my brothers are MIA. Um... the woman there came in for coffee. And then asked me to sit with her and asked for the pack leader. I didnt tell her anything. She claims she is not a hunter but damn if she doesnt act like one. When I didnt give her the information she wanted she grabbed me by the arm with the gloves she is wearing which are lined with silver in the palms. as far as I know.":: She would speak with Alex as she kept her voice low and had already delivered the coffee to the woman. Moses would stay by Kalypso for the rest of her time on shift.::
Alex Vipond: Yeah, well it was a little late for that. Alex listened to Kaly's explanation and then moved to the table, sliding into the into the seat Kaly had vacated. "Coffee, Kaly please." He then looked to the woman across from him. "So, are you in the habit of accosting fifteen year olds?"
VirFortisNatus: Slides one arm across the back of the booth where she sat and looked to the man. Deadpan stoic look just staring at him a few moments after her spoke. Then simple answer. "She'll live." Robotic expression with a matching cold gaze to Alex. Eyes then cut over to Kaly. "Does she look harmed to you? I understand children enjoy whining and playing the victim, but preforming a soft experiment to show her I wasn't accepting a lie. Though she continued with her lies." Looked back to Alex. "Children will be children." -D-
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso fixed Alex a cup of coffee as she would take it to him and let the two talk. She did not say a word. Moses followed Kaly like a shadow and made sure to put himself between Kalypso and anyone she was serving. Which made it a bit difficult for her to set drinks on the table. She looked to Moses.::"Moses, I will be its okay. It’s okay boy.":: She smirked and apologized to any table that she took care of.::
Alex Vipond: "That's debatable, but frankly if anyone is going to off her, it sure as fuck won't be you." Alex may as well have mirrored the woman’s own pose, right down to the expression. "I could care less what questions you have for her. I could care less who the fuck you think you are. Lay a hand, or anything else on her, ever again, and you will pull back a bloody stump." One brow rose in question. "Do we have an understanding?"
VirFortisNatus: The man spoke directly to her. No bullshit and no lies. Something Zero appreciated. Of course the expression would show it. Hell it didn't show anything. Head shook. "The understand you speak of is not one I can promises. Who knows what will happen down the road. She might cross my path and then I will have to end her. Though I currently have no intentions of doing so it is always a possibility. Such understandings are merely an attempt to exert your own dominance. Something I have no interest in." Looked over to Kalypso. "Thank you." The gloved hand reaching up and around to take her cup of coffee. "Now. The question can move on to you. I simply want to know where I can find your pack leader." -D-
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso nodded and didnt say a word and then looked to Alex. Before leaving once more as Moses kept close to Kaly. Just in case anything more happened. He still did not like the woman and growled at her everytime he came toward her. Kalypso tried to keep him calm.::"Shhhh Moses I am okay. Its okay come on Moses be a good boy.":: He whimpered toward Kalypso as if to apologize to her. She did not say a word as she started wiping down tables and sweeping up the floor. She did not like this woman one bit. Who comes in asking to see a pack leader anyway. It all seemed a bit suspicious to her.::
Alex Vipond: "Let me put it to you this way..." Alex paused as he drew in a slow breath, and let it out just as slowly, before he leaned over the table. "Firstly, if she so much as stubs her toe, and I smell you anywhere on her, I will hunt you down, and end you. Secondly, I don't need to exert my dominance. Thirdly, I don't have a pack. I have no pack leader. You want to walk into a public place and start asking questions like this? It's a damned good way to lose your head. And trust me, I don't have any issue in getting my hands bloody. So you have two choices here. You can tell me who the fuck you are, and what you want with the pack, or I can take your ass out, here and now. Kaly has a mop. She can clean up the mess." Alex didn't even look at Kaly as he snapped his fingers and pointed to the door. "Lock it and flip the sign over."
VirFortisNatus: The words about losing her head and all that fun stuff were ignored. Head just tilted to the side. "So you don't know or you wont tell me?" That was what Zero was here for. The violence and stuff wasn't part of her agenda. The order to lock up had been given to Kaly and head shook. "That wont be necessary. I'm not telling you who I am and you aren't going to kill me." Coffee brought up to her lips while another hand moved into Zero's pocket. The gloved hand ran over a smooth knob within the pocket. "I'm not a bad guy Alex." Name got from Kaly while the other two had been speaking. "I am on the run and I seek asylum in exchange for services. I can go either way, but I prefer the Lycans thanks to my previous dealings with them..." Eyes faulted their emotionless gaze snapping away a moment. "And a promise to a friend." Coffee sipped and then placed back down. "If you can't help me then I'll seek aid elsewhere." -D-
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso moved the few customers that were there out or rather they could see it was time to leave. As the small group of customers left and Kalypso apologized. And that something came up. She would lock the door and flipped the sign Maddy and Jon would call Kalypso over to them and take Moses and take her back to the kitchen to keep her occupied or something. Letting the two talk or do whatever they needed to do. They kept Kaly out of harm’s way or tried too as Alex dealt with the person. Kalypso stayed in the back and played with Moses as he stayed close to her and barked and whimpered as they played.::
Alex Vipond: "You're going about it the wrong way. I can tell you for a fact, you start abusing teenagers and you'll be lucky you're not run out of town. In fact I think it's safe to say, you might just want to rethink Seattle, altogether. Now get the fuck out." Alex had places to be and he wasn't leaving Kaly alone with this broad.
VirFortisNatus: "I'll leave when I'm done with my coffee." The glass up to her mouth once more for another sip. Emotionless daughting look came back to those eyes. Staring right into Alex's. "Maybe I am not going about this the wrong way. I am direct. I don't take the time to flesh out particulars. I have questions I want answers too. You assume I abuse her yet there are no marks on her and provided nothing more than a slight bit of discomfort. I'm offering help. You are offering death. I'm merely placating to your attempts of aggression by bowing down." The eyes looked down to her coffee. Zero indeed would make good on her offer to leave once done. Only a few sips left. "Would you take me to the pack leader? I'll allow you to take me in chains if you feel safer that way." -D-
Alex Vipond: "You don't seem to understand." Alex leaned over the table, one hand reaching out to slide the coffee cup out from between them as he got nose to nose with the woman, his head canting to the side a bit. "You touched her. That is, by definition of the law, assault. On a minor. I don't give a rat's fat fucking furry ass what kind of questions you have. Get. Out. While you still can." The woman had the chance to tell him who she was, and she refused. Alex could have given that information to the parties needed, but she had to play the stoic one. The one that wanted to tempt fate and argue her actions.
VirFortisNatus: Zero wasn't speaking to anyone about who she was other than the pack leader and even then it was only to attempt to be granted asylum. That was the method to her current maddness if you wanted to call it that. Stared at him for a moment. Nose to nose the pair were and Zero still didn't feel threatened enough to lash out yet. The hand in her pocket still moving over that little knob. "Hrmm." Back away and looked into her coffee cup. One more sip. Hand rotated slightly swirling those contents. Managed to back out enough to squeeze the cup of coffee between them. Silence while those eyes stared at him and the lips kissed the rim and she finished that coffee. -D-
NiteotheAngel: The Muse Cafe was warded against violence as the only sounds from the back were barks from Moses. Kalypso and Moses played in the back with his favorite ball. She looked to Jon and Maddy from time to time. As Maddy and Jon went to check on the two people still talking rather heatedly in the front of the cafe.::
Alex Vipond: Since she pulled that cup back to her, Alex slid it back once more, and held it out to the side of the table, turning it upside down, whatever contents remained, pouring out. He'd clean it up once the woman was gone. "You've already outworn your welcome. I suggest you go." Alex smiled. "Have a nice day.” Alex added as an afterthought, "Oh and uh, watch your step. Wouldn't want you to slip and fall. A person could break a neck that way." He had that all too innocent look down pat.
DezzyGotDizzy: - innocent my ass –
VirFortisNatus: The table flipped over and Zero's eyes closed then. The expression on her face beginning to narrow in frustration and possibly anger. Gloved hands tightened. What are you doing? Not again. Just leave. Deep breath and then she stood up. Calming down while loosening up that tie and unbuttoning her collar. Those eyes looked over her shoulder to Kaly. "If the pack becomes my enemy. It weighs on your shoulders for your whining and weakness." All the while one hand never left that pocket of hers. Turned to the door and proceeded to head out. -D-
Alex Vipond: "If the pack becomes your enemy, you won't live long enough for it to be an issue." Alex just gave that all too charming smile as he righted the table the temper tantrum had disturbed. "Kaly, you got a mop?" He called out toward the back.
NiteotheAngel: Maddy and Jon would be sure to speak with Ella about what occurred. When Ella returned. They would do their best to protect Kaly until then. Kaly moved to get up as she calmed down Moses. She went to grab a bucket and mop. Not saying much at first as she prepared the mop bucket. Moses stayed by her side as well. She cleaned up the spilled liquid.::"Thanks Alex. I appreciate it. I wasnt sure who else to call. My brothers are kind of MIA. Although Ella sent me a note telling me they were safe and not to worry. I have no clue who the woman was.":: She left the mop for a minute as she went to grab a wet floor sign. Before going over to the door and flipping the sign and unlocking it as the woman left.::
VirFortisNatus: Stepping out into the streets, Zero sought out a lamp post and leaned up against it. Was outside of the establishment, but intent on possibly getting her answers. Both hands shoved into her pockets and now she waited. Asbel's gust already searching throughout the city for someone capable of taking her where she wants to go. -D-
Alex Vipond: "Well, I'll give you a ride home. Sorry about the mess...." he gestured to the mess he'd made of the remnants of the coffee. "I could have cleaned it up, I did it." He rolled that gum over to the other side of his mouth, hands slipping into his jeans pockets as he watched her. "I'll let the others know what the fuck happened here. Sasha's liable to put a BOLO out on her, just for GP."
VirFortisNatus: Waited. -D-
NiteotheAngel: "Its fine its my job to clean up spilled coffee and make drinks. Well if you didnt like it i could have added some flavoring to it or something."::S mirks a bit as she tries to joke with him.::"Its fine. I figured you were a safer bet then getting the pack involved and asking the same questions and her not reacting well to it. Im sorry if I went about it the wrong way but wasnt sure what else to do.":: She sighs as she finished cleaning things up. She wouldtake the bucket to the bag.::"Its okay. You dont have too. Maddy can give me a ride home. I know you are busy. Hows Axle doing? Bren told me he was at your place.":: Swallows as she sighs.::"Can I get you anything else? Hungry for something out of the case? Its on me."::
Alex Vipond: "She said she wasn't leaving until she was done with her coffee so I took away her reason to linger." He shrugged. "Still, you didn't have to clean it up, I mean an accidental spill is one thing, but that was deliberate." Boy had things changed since he'd been a kid. Alex didn't know that people weren't there to clean up after him until he left home to set out on his own. Now he was something of a neat freak. Most of the time. Don't get him started on the studio. "Axle's doing good, he could use some R&R. I gotta get going, I gotta shower and change yet for Bren's thing."
VirFortisNatus: -Waited-
NiteotheAngel: "Thanks Alex once again. You didnt have to. I appreciate it. Its fine. Dont worry about it. Deliberate or accidental a spill is a spill.":: Smiles as she nodded.::"Have fun. I guess I will uh see you around Alex.":: Softly sighs as she grabs a couple of peanut butter cookies and tosses them to moses. She made herself an Green Tea frappuccino. She figured she would work on making a cold drink.::
DezzyGotDizzy: In came the dark avenger. No not really she did walk in though with the helmet tucked her her arm and a smile on her face. Tip toing over the mess she leaned in and place a smootch to the boss mans cheek. " Howdy Ho Pal. hey Kiddo.. " Waves to Ang as she wandered to the counter and leand in. " Can I get a Coke? "
NiteotheAngel: "Sure no problem. You sure you dont want a mixed coffee drink? I could use the practice in making them.":: She had taken the mop and bucket to the back. as she came back out and fixed a cup of coke for Dez. Setting it before her. "Is that all or would you like something to eat as well?":: She smiled as she went back to fixing her green tea frappuccino. She sipped on it as she set it down away from the customers orders.::
DezzyGotDizzy: " Coffee can give you the shits. I avoid it whenever possible. " She smiled and leaned in taking a big ass drink with a mouth popping " Ahhhh Caffine. The Elixir of the Gods! "
Alex Vipond: "So don't need to know that...." Alex leaned into the kiss to the cheek and smiled to Dezzy, then looked back to Kaly. "If you need anything, call. If it's an emergency, call 911. Unless it's ... you know, then call Sasha." Yeah cause didn't want to let the norms in on any of their misdeeds. "I'm out!" He headed for the door, keys pulled from his pocket as he stepped out. Shades were slipped back over his face and he paused there on the walk. He didn't look toward the lamp post. He didn't need to.
VirFortisNatus: Hey eyes were closed. The experience of seeing through Asbel couldn't be described in any other way than amazing. It was like a bird's eye view of everything in perfect resolution with every single detail made out for you. Head only nodded to him. -d-
NiteotheAngel: She nodded as Dez spoke. She then looked to Alex.::"Okay will do.":: she sighs a bit as she relaxed a bit since things were slowing down. She sipped her green tea frappuccino. As she waited for Dezzy to need something else. Moses stayed close to Kaly as he would for the rest of the day and days to come. As long as Kaly worked.::
DezzyGotDizzy: " Hey Alex wait a sec... " She ran out the door and ran into his back when she did. It was like smacking into a brick wall but whatever... she nearly fell back on her ass but lucky for her the door caught her on the back swing. " Alex* There's something you and me need to talk about before the end of the weekend.. call me when you have some time.. ok? " She shoved her hands into the pockets of her rediculous 80's style Members Only jacket and shifted her weight back and forth between her feet. –d
Alex Vipond: Alex grunted as Dezzy damned near ran up his back and he turned to look at her, a smirk given. "You got it. And you do know I have a phone right? You can call it, any time." He tipped his head toward the figure at the lamp post. "Watch that one. She was giving Kaly shit. And she's rude."
VirFortisNatus: "Heh." Arms just tighted across her chest. The eyes checking up on Alex and his partner from time to time, but mostly they were still surveying the area. No one within the area to help her with that little problem of hers. Already a bit of scar with Kaly, but Alex didn't seem too bad. Weird. The man might have been a good bit away, but she heard him just fine. "Who threw who's coffee onto the floor? You owe me a cup of coffee by the way." Zero's words spoken without emotion and those eyes still closed. Zero moved off the lamp post and walked towards the pair. -D-
Alex Vipond: Alex just scratched the side of his head one his middle finger. She'd get the point. When she pushed from her lean, Alex looked at her. "I have neither the time, nor the inclination. In fact, that fuck I gave you just now, was the last one I had. I have no more to give. And we aren't inside anymore where I can't rip your arm off and beat you to death with the bloody limb."
DezzyGotDizzy: " You got it Boss. " She stopped and turned as Miss Rude ass started walking over. A sublte shift of her hand had her gripping her thigh with a lift of an ink black brow. " Yeah.. what he said.. But Im more inclined to make you eat it. Who the fuck you think you are fucking with my girl Kal anyway? Idiot. " Yup she was palming the hilt of one of those 12 inch blades ready to go Medieval on her ass. –d
VirFortisNatus: Eyes opened and she kept her distance of about three meters away from Alex and the other woman. Of course her words were for Alex, but apparently they could go for the other woman as well. "Why are you so hostile? I didn't harm the girl and I never had an intention too." Zero was human for sure, but her confidence was apparent. Though it wasn't a mocking confidence. Rather a calm and collected one. "Is it my directness?" Leather gloved hand up rubbing her chinwhile she thought. "I suppose it can come across as bitchy and pushy, but I'd rather try and get my point across than beat around the bush." Not worried about either of them attacking her. The three meter break would give Asbel some time to react if they did try to attack her. Zero herself had no intentions of attacking anyone though. Hand had even moved off the trigger in her pocket. "Alex right?" Hand rubbing her chin pointed to the man. -D-
Theforgottenwolf: - The later in the day it became the more at ease he appeared to be Axle had been a ghost for the better part of two weeks. If it had been his choice he would have remained that way but apparently his choice was the last thing on anyone's give a shit list. He couldn't stand being in the house another minute as much as a part of him wanted to stay there and become the weird guy who lived in the basement he knew it wasn't plausible or reasonable. Having to: face the daylight at some point. today was that day. Faded pair of jeans bagged off of his large frame as he lumbered at a relaxed gait. He seemed to have gained all the lost weight back just within a few days. Gray long sleeved T shirt spanned across his chest. Facial hair left growing he glanced up rounding the corner going nowhere in particular. Familiar sense told him Alex was nearby but he didn't speed up only continued on his path- d
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso was inside enjoying her drink and Moses was not far from her. She was still inside sipping her frozen tea drink. As she threw the ball for Moses to chase. As the massive dog ran through the place. Getting better about not knocking over the tables and chairs as the mastiff ran through the place after his favored ball. After what occurred there was no way he was leaving Kaly's side to much should anyone enter.::
Alex Vipond: "Oh let's see. You came in, asked probing questions, refused to accept her answers, then laid hands on her. And hey, I feel yah. I damned near ripped her throat out myownself just a few weeks ago, but you know what? That's family. She is family. You? You're a stranger that just blew in who refuses to even give your name when asking pertinent questions about people you have no right to ask about. So what you have to ask
yourself now is, do you feel lucky, punk?" That brow cocked upward again. "Well, do you?" Yeah. Alex went all Eastwood on her ass. And no, he didn't have the magnum to back it up... well, not the six shooter. He did, however, have the wherewithal.
Theforgottenwolf: - He was coming up behind whomever Alex was talking to. Hearing would pick up on bit's and pieces of the conversation that was taking place. His fingers tucked into his front pocket's he lifted his head his head canting slightly. Did Alex just do an Eastwood quote? The corners of his lips twitched but soon settled as he continued his approach from behind Zero- d
VirFortisNatus: "I can't give my name to just anyone. I am marked and wanted. If I give you my name you could run to the nearest point of authority and give away my position. I want to make sure I have asylum before giving my name away. It's a tactical choice. Not a popular one." Someone sneaking up behind her? No Zero wouldn't notice, but Asbel was paying close attention to her surroundings. Not on Axle in particular though. Head shook. "I never factor in luck. Don't believe in it. You live and die on skill." Though there was one aspect she thought funny. Alex wanted to rip her throat out and that was ok because of family but a stranger wanted to ask a few questions and touched her but that was a no-no. Light chuckle with soft rocking of her shoulders. -D-
Alex Vipond: "Yeah well, where I am from, we have this little thing called manners. And you know what? They work pretty damned well. And as for you living or dying on skill? By my reckoning, you're already on borrowed time. You do not win friends and woo allies by being a nosy, prickly bitch. Let alone a handsy one. So find a sidewalk that leads elsewhere and start stepping."
Theforgottenwolf: - He wasn't really sneaking just walking had he wanted to sneak it would have been far more theatrical. Though the more growly he heard Alex getting the more intrigued he became. His hands slipped out of his pockets and he stood behind her eyeing Alex just over top of the girls head.- " Everything okay here?" - The southerner's deep accent was very prevalent and had been since waking up. Tone deep and unmoved by the situation. He had been through hell the past couple weeks.-d
VirFortisNatus: "I don't need friends. Only allies. I can be of great use to the Lycans. I just want my purpose back. The way things are now my time is borrowed. I'm not a wolf. I'm not a vampire. Though I require certain aspects of life in order to survive." Man had spoken up behind her. Zero shook her head. "No. Just a misunderstanding." Zero could feel that clawed hand on her shoulder. The might hand of Asbel that the others couldn't see, but she felt. The cause is lost. We'll find them on our own. Voice spoke in her head. "I see." Hands up to her tie and collar adjusting both while tightening up the tie. Turned to the man behind her. Almost opened her mouth to ask and the jerking from the clawed hand felt. "Ugh! I'm going." Turned then to look back at Alex. "Till next time," -D-
Alex Vipond: "Yeah well you sure as shit went about that wrong and I don't care if the fucking Illuminati themselves are on your ass, until you give up the four one, one, you are not getting dick. And you better hope for your sake, there isn't a next time."
Theforgottenwolf: - He was staring down at her hard to say what was going through his mind at that point only a pair of light hazel eyes fixated on her at that point. Sizing her up in a subtle way his gaze dipping down and then back up once again.- " Hello" - he said simply it wasn't welcoming and it wasn't not either merely him glancing down and then back up again keeping his stance she would have to walk around him if she choose to do so. Quick look up at Alex- " And i thought i had hostile tendencies" - said levely- d
VirFortisNatus: Zero didn't look like much. Five foot five Asian British female. Though her toys tended to be her strength almost with Asbel. Though Alex seemed hell bent on threatening her. Looked over her shoulder to the man then back to Alex. "If I tell you what you want to know can you help me?" -D-
Alex Vipond: Alex almost smirked at Axle's comment. He wasn't even angry. But then he didn't have to be to rip someone's beating heart from their chest. Simply backed into a corner would do. Alex regarded the woman for a long moment before answering. "You tell me who you are and what you're running from and I will pass a message along the grapevine. That's as far as it goes."
VirFortisNatus: Looked to the man behind her and then back to Alex. "I will find you at a more private location. If I trust you with this it doesn't mean I trust anyone else. Thank you for your cooperation." Zero then turned to walk off and headed down the street disappearing into the crowd. -D-
Theforgottenwolf: - He moved around the twosome until he was next to Alex. He didn't knock into her merely pivoted until he faced her as well. He was taller...broader...all in all bigger than Alex. He shrugged some and watched her go- " I dont blame her...I wouldn't trust me either." - He sighed and looked down to him- d
Alex Vipond: Alex shook his head and looked at Axle. "Yeah well she had plenty of opportunity before you or I arrived to give what she needed to get what she wanted. Her fucking loss. All I know is she lays another hand on Kaly, she'll pull back a bloody stump."
Theforgottenwolf: - A hand rose to rub the back of his head briefly- " yea..." - glancing across the way toward the Tela. He didn't know she was in there. He had no way of knowing. Only to glance back to Alex- " well maybe next time" - hands once again found his pockets- " Annalysse left earlier...not sure when she's going to come back. I just needed a little bit of air" - not really sure why he was telling Alex that. Just felt he needed to tell someone.- d
NiteotheAngel: Kaly watched from inside the place as Dezzy left and a little surprised as Axle walked up. She did not go out there still and played with Moses. She was a bit surprised when the woman left. She figured she would never leave. She just stayed where she was as she cleaned up tables and got things in order. She refilled Moses water bowl and took him to the kitchen to eat. Which the dog seemed to never stop doing. She was surprised the dog wasnt overweight or something.::
Alex Vipond: "Completely understandable. Hey, Bren was asking about you. She's been worried. I said you were okay and resting."
Theforgottenwolf: - He glanced down - " Yea. thanks." - he rolled his shoulders- "Maybe I'll go see her. I dont know. I just had to get out of the house" - He took a step back moving- " I'll be around tonight." - Not a man of many words these days. He turned and headed in the direction of Brenley’s house- d
Alex Vipond: "You take it easy. Call me if you need anything...." Alex watched him go and felt the weight bearing down on the man. He knew that feeling all too well. Only in Axle's case, he didn't deserve the torment. It wasn't his fault. Some could say that about Alex and he tried to appease himself with that, but ultimately, no one had acted on his behalf or made him act as he had. Yes, it had been pure instinct, and no he shouldn't have been where he was, wouldn't have been where he was, had Alea not sent him there, but it didn't take away the feeling of guilt over having killed one so innocent, nor did it eradicate his own culpability. Axle’s case was the polar opposite. He had not been in control. And for him to have to live with those memories, that guilt, would be enough to drive anyone over the edge.
Theforgottenwolf: " Yea catch you later Alex" - He slipped on down the street. Had he seen Kaly he likely still wouldn't have said anything to her. Unready to face those things yet. Instead he walked on his purpose another for the time being- d
VirFortisNatus: Zero lead her to the booth and then released her arm. A concerned look in her eyes, but that didn't last long. Took her place back across from the woman and stared at her for a moment. Then eyes cut down to the place where that plate had been placed. Sighed reaching down and into her pocket. From it produced a tiny hotel shampoo bottle full of some brown salve. If she had to tell the woman to rub it on the spot, then she didn't deserve the salve. Gloved hands up with fingers intertwining and elbows placed on the counter. "Who is the pack leader and where can I find them?" -D-
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso was trying not to draw attention to herself. As she was a bit more cautious of what this woman offered her. ::"I told you. I dont know what you are talking about. What the hell are you?"::She kept her voice low still not wanting to draw attention to herself. She took the small bottle of salve as she put it on where the woman had grabbed her arm. Funny for someone to claim they are not a hunter they certainly had some interesting toys. Gloves with silver along the palms of the gloves. She was tempted to take a knife and put it through the womans hand. But, that would draw attention which she did not want.:::
VirFortisNatus: Shakes her head and sighed. "I don't want to hurt you. I'm asking a very simple question. You don't know what an alpha or a pack is?" The expression that had calmed a bit snapped back to those stabbing daggers tinted with annoyance. "Do you think I'm stupid?" When the salve was applied to her arm it eased the burn and would help keep a scar from forming. Of course it wasn't magic so it wasn't a quick fix. What was Zero? Question was ignored. Many thought she was a demon. So Zero went with that at times. People rarely saw her bleed so it worked. Waited for the woman to answer her with patience slowly leaving Zero. -D-
NiteotheAngel: "Im giving very simple answers. I never said you were. I know a lot of things. But, In this case I dont know what you know or why you know them. Good then dont.":: Swallows as she handed the container of salve back to the woman. "Are we finished here? Because I really need to get back to work":: Moses would come out of the back as he came strolling through the cafe every now and then. Seeing Kaly he went and moved toward the two. Low growl with a couple of loud barks was given toward the woman. As Moses picked up a scent on Kaly that he was not familar with after spending most days in and out with her. ::
Alex Vipond: When Alex got the text, one brow rose, but he was already moving. Moss would not grow under his feet. Ever. He pulled in at the cafe, eyes scanning the storefront from behind those shades of his as he slid out of the murdered out Benz. The door was swung shut and a double tap of the fob locked it and set the alarm as he walked away. Alex was lean, brown haired, green eyed, and lanky. Not overly tall, standing at five foot, ten inches, and he looked like a strong breeze might blow him over, if it weren't for the sneakered feet he constantly compared to a certain fast food joint clown's. A faded out Madonna t-shirt was under the light leather jacket, and his jeans had seen better days, though one would be hard pressed to determine if the scattered holes were naturally worn or there by design. They'd frayed a good deal over numerous washings. Pulling the door open, he stepped inside, gum rolling from one side of his mouth to the other, shades lifted and propped up on top of his head as he took in the interior of the cafe. As he heard Kaly, he turned toward her and the woman with whom she sat. The dog was given the once over and Alex proceeded with caution. The dog was not his and well when you get bit in the face by your sister's spaniel at age eight, it kind of makes one leery. And this one could rival Gus in size.
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso looked to Alex as he came in. Moses would growl at the woman that was sitting across from Kaly. Kalypso looked to Moses.::"Shhh Shhh. Boy.":: As she seen Alex she smiled.::"Hey Alex. This is Moses. Moses this is Alex." Moses looked to Alex as she leaned into him wanting to be pet. But, he continued to look toward the woman across from Kalypso. As he was tempted to push the woman over in the booth.::
VirFortisNatus: Another came in. Maybe you should bug out. Don't want to cause a scene. Leaned back in her booth and sighed. "You're right. This girl is useless.." Gloved hand up to wave the girl away. "I know you're lying to me. Now git." Look wasn't annoyed or anything of the such. Only dismissive of the woman. Buttons up the collar and then hands went to the red tie adjusting it back around her neck to fit properly. "Another cup of coffee and I'll leave you alone." -D-
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso nodded as she would look to Alex.::"Hey Alex, can I get you anything?":: Moses would growl as he did not like the woman. She went to get the woman another cup of coffee. And took it back to her. She knew more than she was saying. She figured it was safer to call Alex and talk to him about what happened.::"Thanks for coming. i was not sure who else to call since my brothers are MIA. Um... the woman there came in for coffee. And then asked me to sit with her and asked for the pack leader. I didnt tell her anything. She claims she is not a hunter but damn if she doesnt act like one. When I didnt give her the information she wanted she grabbed me by the arm with the gloves she is wearing which are lined with silver in the palms. as far as I know.":: She would speak with Alex as she kept her voice low and had already delivered the coffee to the woman. Moses would stay by Kalypso for the rest of her time on shift.::
Alex Vipond: Yeah, well it was a little late for that. Alex listened to Kaly's explanation and then moved to the table, sliding into the into the seat Kaly had vacated. "Coffee, Kaly please." He then looked to the woman across from him. "So, are you in the habit of accosting fifteen year olds?"
VirFortisNatus: Slides one arm across the back of the booth where she sat and looked to the man. Deadpan stoic look just staring at him a few moments after her spoke. Then simple answer. "She'll live." Robotic expression with a matching cold gaze to Alex. Eyes then cut over to Kaly. "Does she look harmed to you? I understand children enjoy whining and playing the victim, but preforming a soft experiment to show her I wasn't accepting a lie. Though she continued with her lies." Looked back to Alex. "Children will be children." -D-
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso fixed Alex a cup of coffee as she would take it to him and let the two talk. She did not say a word. Moses followed Kaly like a shadow and made sure to put himself between Kalypso and anyone she was serving. Which made it a bit difficult for her to set drinks on the table. She looked to Moses.::"Moses, I will be its okay. It’s okay boy.":: She smirked and apologized to any table that she took care of.::
Alex Vipond: "That's debatable, but frankly if anyone is going to off her, it sure as fuck won't be you." Alex may as well have mirrored the woman’s own pose, right down to the expression. "I could care less what questions you have for her. I could care less who the fuck you think you are. Lay a hand, or anything else on her, ever again, and you will pull back a bloody stump." One brow rose in question. "Do we have an understanding?"
VirFortisNatus: The man spoke directly to her. No bullshit and no lies. Something Zero appreciated. Of course the expression would show it. Hell it didn't show anything. Head shook. "The understand you speak of is not one I can promises. Who knows what will happen down the road. She might cross my path and then I will have to end her. Though I currently have no intentions of doing so it is always a possibility. Such understandings are merely an attempt to exert your own dominance. Something I have no interest in." Looked over to Kalypso. "Thank you." The gloved hand reaching up and around to take her cup of coffee. "Now. The question can move on to you. I simply want to know where I can find your pack leader." -D-
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso nodded and didnt say a word and then looked to Alex. Before leaving once more as Moses kept close to Kaly. Just in case anything more happened. He still did not like the woman and growled at her everytime he came toward her. Kalypso tried to keep him calm.::"Shhhh Moses I am okay. Its okay come on Moses be a good boy.":: He whimpered toward Kalypso as if to apologize to her. She did not say a word as she started wiping down tables and sweeping up the floor. She did not like this woman one bit. Who comes in asking to see a pack leader anyway. It all seemed a bit suspicious to her.::
Alex Vipond: "Let me put it to you this way..." Alex paused as he drew in a slow breath, and let it out just as slowly, before he leaned over the table. "Firstly, if she so much as stubs her toe, and I smell you anywhere on her, I will hunt you down, and end you. Secondly, I don't need to exert my dominance. Thirdly, I don't have a pack. I have no pack leader. You want to walk into a public place and start asking questions like this? It's a damned good way to lose your head. And trust me, I don't have any issue in getting my hands bloody. So you have two choices here. You can tell me who the fuck you are, and what you want with the pack, or I can take your ass out, here and now. Kaly has a mop. She can clean up the mess." Alex didn't even look at Kaly as he snapped his fingers and pointed to the door. "Lock it and flip the sign over."
VirFortisNatus: The words about losing her head and all that fun stuff were ignored. Head just tilted to the side. "So you don't know or you wont tell me?" That was what Zero was here for. The violence and stuff wasn't part of her agenda. The order to lock up had been given to Kaly and head shook. "That wont be necessary. I'm not telling you who I am and you aren't going to kill me." Coffee brought up to her lips while another hand moved into Zero's pocket. The gloved hand ran over a smooth knob within the pocket. "I'm not a bad guy Alex." Name got from Kaly while the other two had been speaking. "I am on the run and I seek asylum in exchange for services. I can go either way, but I prefer the Lycans thanks to my previous dealings with them..." Eyes faulted their emotionless gaze snapping away a moment. "And a promise to a friend." Coffee sipped and then placed back down. "If you can't help me then I'll seek aid elsewhere." -D-
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso moved the few customers that were there out or rather they could see it was time to leave. As the small group of customers left and Kalypso apologized. And that something came up. She would lock the door and flipped the sign Maddy and Jon would call Kalypso over to them and take Moses and take her back to the kitchen to keep her occupied or something. Letting the two talk or do whatever they needed to do. They kept Kaly out of harm’s way or tried too as Alex dealt with the person. Kalypso stayed in the back and played with Moses as he stayed close to her and barked and whimpered as they played.::
Alex Vipond: "You're going about it the wrong way. I can tell you for a fact, you start abusing teenagers and you'll be lucky you're not run out of town. In fact I think it's safe to say, you might just want to rethink Seattle, altogether. Now get the fuck out." Alex had places to be and he wasn't leaving Kaly alone with this broad.
VirFortisNatus: "I'll leave when I'm done with my coffee." The glass up to her mouth once more for another sip. Emotionless daughting look came back to those eyes. Staring right into Alex's. "Maybe I am not going about this the wrong way. I am direct. I don't take the time to flesh out particulars. I have questions I want answers too. You assume I abuse her yet there are no marks on her and provided nothing more than a slight bit of discomfort. I'm offering help. You are offering death. I'm merely placating to your attempts of aggression by bowing down." The eyes looked down to her coffee. Zero indeed would make good on her offer to leave once done. Only a few sips left. "Would you take me to the pack leader? I'll allow you to take me in chains if you feel safer that way." -D-
Alex Vipond: "You don't seem to understand." Alex leaned over the table, one hand reaching out to slide the coffee cup out from between them as he got nose to nose with the woman, his head canting to the side a bit. "You touched her. That is, by definition of the law, assault. On a minor. I don't give a rat's fat fucking furry ass what kind of questions you have. Get. Out. While you still can." The woman had the chance to tell him who she was, and she refused. Alex could have given that information to the parties needed, but she had to play the stoic one. The one that wanted to tempt fate and argue her actions.
VirFortisNatus: Zero wasn't speaking to anyone about who she was other than the pack leader and even then it was only to attempt to be granted asylum. That was the method to her current maddness if you wanted to call it that. Stared at him for a moment. Nose to nose the pair were and Zero still didn't feel threatened enough to lash out yet. The hand in her pocket still moving over that little knob. "Hrmm." Back away and looked into her coffee cup. One more sip. Hand rotated slightly swirling those contents. Managed to back out enough to squeeze the cup of coffee between them. Silence while those eyes stared at him and the lips kissed the rim and she finished that coffee. -D-
NiteotheAngel: The Muse Cafe was warded against violence as the only sounds from the back were barks from Moses. Kalypso and Moses played in the back with his favorite ball. She looked to Jon and Maddy from time to time. As Maddy and Jon went to check on the two people still talking rather heatedly in the front of the cafe.::
Alex Vipond: Since she pulled that cup back to her, Alex slid it back once more, and held it out to the side of the table, turning it upside down, whatever contents remained, pouring out. He'd clean it up once the woman was gone. "You've already outworn your welcome. I suggest you go." Alex smiled. "Have a nice day.” Alex added as an afterthought, "Oh and uh, watch your step. Wouldn't want you to slip and fall. A person could break a neck that way." He had that all too innocent look down pat.
DezzyGotDizzy: - innocent my ass –
VirFortisNatus: The table flipped over and Zero's eyes closed then. The expression on her face beginning to narrow in frustration and possibly anger. Gloved hands tightened. What are you doing? Not again. Just leave. Deep breath and then she stood up. Calming down while loosening up that tie and unbuttoning her collar. Those eyes looked over her shoulder to Kaly. "If the pack becomes my enemy. It weighs on your shoulders for your whining and weakness." All the while one hand never left that pocket of hers. Turned to the door and proceeded to head out. -D-
Alex Vipond: "If the pack becomes your enemy, you won't live long enough for it to be an issue." Alex just gave that all too charming smile as he righted the table the temper tantrum had disturbed. "Kaly, you got a mop?" He called out toward the back.
NiteotheAngel: Maddy and Jon would be sure to speak with Ella about what occurred. When Ella returned. They would do their best to protect Kaly until then. Kaly moved to get up as she calmed down Moses. She went to grab a bucket and mop. Not saying much at first as she prepared the mop bucket. Moses stayed by her side as well. She cleaned up the spilled liquid.::"Thanks Alex. I appreciate it. I wasnt sure who else to call. My brothers are kind of MIA. Although Ella sent me a note telling me they were safe and not to worry. I have no clue who the woman was.":: She left the mop for a minute as she went to grab a wet floor sign. Before going over to the door and flipping the sign and unlocking it as the woman left.::
VirFortisNatus: Stepping out into the streets, Zero sought out a lamp post and leaned up against it. Was outside of the establishment, but intent on possibly getting her answers. Both hands shoved into her pockets and now she waited. Asbel's gust already searching throughout the city for someone capable of taking her where she wants to go. -D-
Alex Vipond: "Well, I'll give you a ride home. Sorry about the mess...." he gestured to the mess he'd made of the remnants of the coffee. "I could have cleaned it up, I did it." He rolled that gum over to the other side of his mouth, hands slipping into his jeans pockets as he watched her. "I'll let the others know what the fuck happened here. Sasha's liable to put a BOLO out on her, just for GP."
VirFortisNatus: Waited. -D-
NiteotheAngel: "Its fine its my job to clean up spilled coffee and make drinks. Well if you didnt like it i could have added some flavoring to it or something."::S mirks a bit as she tries to joke with him.::"Its fine. I figured you were a safer bet then getting the pack involved and asking the same questions and her not reacting well to it. Im sorry if I went about it the wrong way but wasnt sure what else to do.":: She sighs as she finished cleaning things up. She wouldtake the bucket to the bag.::"Its okay. You dont have too. Maddy can give me a ride home. I know you are busy. Hows Axle doing? Bren told me he was at your place.":: Swallows as she sighs.::"Can I get you anything else? Hungry for something out of the case? Its on me."::
Alex Vipond: "She said she wasn't leaving until she was done with her coffee so I took away her reason to linger." He shrugged. "Still, you didn't have to clean it up, I mean an accidental spill is one thing, but that was deliberate." Boy had things changed since he'd been a kid. Alex didn't know that people weren't there to clean up after him until he left home to set out on his own. Now he was something of a neat freak. Most of the time. Don't get him started on the studio. "Axle's doing good, he could use some R&R. I gotta get going, I gotta shower and change yet for Bren's thing."
VirFortisNatus: -Waited-
NiteotheAngel: "Thanks Alex once again. You didnt have to. I appreciate it. Its fine. Dont worry about it. Deliberate or accidental a spill is a spill.":: Smiles as she nodded.::"Have fun. I guess I will uh see you around Alex.":: Softly sighs as she grabs a couple of peanut butter cookies and tosses them to moses. She made herself an Green Tea frappuccino. She figured she would work on making a cold drink.::
DezzyGotDizzy: In came the dark avenger. No not really she did walk in though with the helmet tucked her her arm and a smile on her face. Tip toing over the mess she leaned in and place a smootch to the boss mans cheek. " Howdy Ho Pal. hey Kiddo.. " Waves to Ang as she wandered to the counter and leand in. " Can I get a Coke? "
NiteotheAngel: "Sure no problem. You sure you dont want a mixed coffee drink? I could use the practice in making them.":: She had taken the mop and bucket to the back. as she came back out and fixed a cup of coke for Dez. Setting it before her. "Is that all or would you like something to eat as well?":: She smiled as she went back to fixing her green tea frappuccino. She sipped on it as she set it down away from the customers orders.::
DezzyGotDizzy: " Coffee can give you the shits. I avoid it whenever possible. " She smiled and leaned in taking a big ass drink with a mouth popping " Ahhhh Caffine. The Elixir of the Gods! "
Alex Vipond: "So don't need to know that...." Alex leaned into the kiss to the cheek and smiled to Dezzy, then looked back to Kaly. "If you need anything, call. If it's an emergency, call 911. Unless it's ... you know, then call Sasha." Yeah cause didn't want to let the norms in on any of their misdeeds. "I'm out!" He headed for the door, keys pulled from his pocket as he stepped out. Shades were slipped back over his face and he paused there on the walk. He didn't look toward the lamp post. He didn't need to.
VirFortisNatus: Hey eyes were closed. The experience of seeing through Asbel couldn't be described in any other way than amazing. It was like a bird's eye view of everything in perfect resolution with every single detail made out for you. Head only nodded to him. -d-
NiteotheAngel: She nodded as Dez spoke. She then looked to Alex.::"Okay will do.":: she sighs a bit as she relaxed a bit since things were slowing down. She sipped her green tea frappuccino. As she waited for Dezzy to need something else. Moses stayed close to Kaly as he would for the rest of the day and days to come. As long as Kaly worked.::
DezzyGotDizzy: " Hey Alex wait a sec... " She ran out the door and ran into his back when she did. It was like smacking into a brick wall but whatever... she nearly fell back on her ass but lucky for her the door caught her on the back swing. " Alex* There's something you and me need to talk about before the end of the weekend.. call me when you have some time.. ok? " She shoved her hands into the pockets of her rediculous 80's style Members Only jacket and shifted her weight back and forth between her feet. –d
Alex Vipond: Alex grunted as Dezzy damned near ran up his back and he turned to look at her, a smirk given. "You got it. And you do know I have a phone right? You can call it, any time." He tipped his head toward the figure at the lamp post. "Watch that one. She was giving Kaly shit. And she's rude."
VirFortisNatus: "Heh." Arms just tighted across her chest. The eyes checking up on Alex and his partner from time to time, but mostly they were still surveying the area. No one within the area to help her with that little problem of hers. Already a bit of scar with Kaly, but Alex didn't seem too bad. Weird. The man might have been a good bit away, but she heard him just fine. "Who threw who's coffee onto the floor? You owe me a cup of coffee by the way." Zero's words spoken without emotion and those eyes still closed. Zero moved off the lamp post and walked towards the pair. -D-
Alex Vipond: Alex just scratched the side of his head one his middle finger. She'd get the point. When she pushed from her lean, Alex looked at her. "I have neither the time, nor the inclination. In fact, that fuck I gave you just now, was the last one I had. I have no more to give. And we aren't inside anymore where I can't rip your arm off and beat you to death with the bloody limb."
DezzyGotDizzy: " You got it Boss. " She stopped and turned as Miss Rude ass started walking over. A sublte shift of her hand had her gripping her thigh with a lift of an ink black brow. " Yeah.. what he said.. But Im more inclined to make you eat it. Who the fuck you think you are fucking with my girl Kal anyway? Idiot. " Yup she was palming the hilt of one of those 12 inch blades ready to go Medieval on her ass. –d
VirFortisNatus: Eyes opened and she kept her distance of about three meters away from Alex and the other woman. Of course her words were for Alex, but apparently they could go for the other woman as well. "Why are you so hostile? I didn't harm the girl and I never had an intention too." Zero was human for sure, but her confidence was apparent. Though it wasn't a mocking confidence. Rather a calm and collected one. "Is it my directness?" Leather gloved hand up rubbing her chinwhile she thought. "I suppose it can come across as bitchy and pushy, but I'd rather try and get my point across than beat around the bush." Not worried about either of them attacking her. The three meter break would give Asbel some time to react if they did try to attack her. Zero herself had no intentions of attacking anyone though. Hand had even moved off the trigger in her pocket. "Alex right?" Hand rubbing her chin pointed to the man. -D-
Theforgottenwolf: - The later in the day it became the more at ease he appeared to be Axle had been a ghost for the better part of two weeks. If it had been his choice he would have remained that way but apparently his choice was the last thing on anyone's give a shit list. He couldn't stand being in the house another minute as much as a part of him wanted to stay there and become the weird guy who lived in the basement he knew it wasn't plausible or reasonable. Having to: face the daylight at some point. today was that day. Faded pair of jeans bagged off of his large frame as he lumbered at a relaxed gait. He seemed to have gained all the lost weight back just within a few days. Gray long sleeved T shirt spanned across his chest. Facial hair left growing he glanced up rounding the corner going nowhere in particular. Familiar sense told him Alex was nearby but he didn't speed up only continued on his path- d
NiteotheAngel: Kalypso was inside enjoying her drink and Moses was not far from her. She was still inside sipping her frozen tea drink. As she threw the ball for Moses to chase. As the massive dog ran through the place. Getting better about not knocking over the tables and chairs as the mastiff ran through the place after his favored ball. After what occurred there was no way he was leaving Kaly's side to much should anyone enter.::
Alex Vipond: "Oh let's see. You came in, asked probing questions, refused to accept her answers, then laid hands on her. And hey, I feel yah. I damned near ripped her throat out myownself just a few weeks ago, but you know what? That's family. She is family. You? You're a stranger that just blew in who refuses to even give your name when asking pertinent questions about people you have no right to ask about. So what you have to ask
yourself now is, do you feel lucky, punk?" That brow cocked upward again. "Well, do you?" Yeah. Alex went all Eastwood on her ass. And no, he didn't have the magnum to back it up... well, not the six shooter. He did, however, have the wherewithal.
Theforgottenwolf: - He was coming up behind whomever Alex was talking to. Hearing would pick up on bit's and pieces of the conversation that was taking place. His fingers tucked into his front pocket's he lifted his head his head canting slightly. Did Alex just do an Eastwood quote? The corners of his lips twitched but soon settled as he continued his approach from behind Zero- d
VirFortisNatus: "I can't give my name to just anyone. I am marked and wanted. If I give you my name you could run to the nearest point of authority and give away my position. I want to make sure I have asylum before giving my name away. It's a tactical choice. Not a popular one." Someone sneaking up behind her? No Zero wouldn't notice, but Asbel was paying close attention to her surroundings. Not on Axle in particular though. Head shook. "I never factor in luck. Don't believe in it. You live and die on skill." Though there was one aspect she thought funny. Alex wanted to rip her throat out and that was ok because of family but a stranger wanted to ask a few questions and touched her but that was a no-no. Light chuckle with soft rocking of her shoulders. -D-
Alex Vipond: "Yeah well, where I am from, we have this little thing called manners. And you know what? They work pretty damned well. And as for you living or dying on skill? By my reckoning, you're already on borrowed time. You do not win friends and woo allies by being a nosy, prickly bitch. Let alone a handsy one. So find a sidewalk that leads elsewhere and start stepping."
Theforgottenwolf: - He wasn't really sneaking just walking had he wanted to sneak it would have been far more theatrical. Though the more growly he heard Alex getting the more intrigued he became. His hands slipped out of his pockets and he stood behind her eyeing Alex just over top of the girls head.- " Everything okay here?" - The southerner's deep accent was very prevalent and had been since waking up. Tone deep and unmoved by the situation. He had been through hell the past couple weeks.-d
VirFortisNatus: "I don't need friends. Only allies. I can be of great use to the Lycans. I just want my purpose back. The way things are now my time is borrowed. I'm not a wolf. I'm not a vampire. Though I require certain aspects of life in order to survive." Man had spoken up behind her. Zero shook her head. "No. Just a misunderstanding." Zero could feel that clawed hand on her shoulder. The might hand of Asbel that the others couldn't see, but she felt. The cause is lost. We'll find them on our own. Voice spoke in her head. "I see." Hands up to her tie and collar adjusting both while tightening up the tie. Turned to the man behind her. Almost opened her mouth to ask and the jerking from the clawed hand felt. "Ugh! I'm going." Turned then to look back at Alex. "Till next time," -D-
Alex Vipond: "Yeah well you sure as shit went about that wrong and I don't care if the fucking Illuminati themselves are on your ass, until you give up the four one, one, you are not getting dick. And you better hope for your sake, there isn't a next time."
Theforgottenwolf: - He was staring down at her hard to say what was going through his mind at that point only a pair of light hazel eyes fixated on her at that point. Sizing her up in a subtle way his gaze dipping down and then back up once again.- " Hello" - he said simply it wasn't welcoming and it wasn't not either merely him glancing down and then back up again keeping his stance she would have to walk around him if she choose to do so. Quick look up at Alex- " And i thought i had hostile tendencies" - said levely- d
VirFortisNatus: Zero didn't look like much. Five foot five Asian British female. Though her toys tended to be her strength almost with Asbel. Though Alex seemed hell bent on threatening her. Looked over her shoulder to the man then back to Alex. "If I tell you what you want to know can you help me?" -D-
Alex Vipond: Alex almost smirked at Axle's comment. He wasn't even angry. But then he didn't have to be to rip someone's beating heart from their chest. Simply backed into a corner would do. Alex regarded the woman for a long moment before answering. "You tell me who you are and what you're running from and I will pass a message along the grapevine. That's as far as it goes."
VirFortisNatus: Looked to the man behind her and then back to Alex. "I will find you at a more private location. If I trust you with this it doesn't mean I trust anyone else. Thank you for your cooperation." Zero then turned to walk off and headed down the street disappearing into the crowd. -D-
Theforgottenwolf: - He moved around the twosome until he was next to Alex. He didn't knock into her merely pivoted until he faced her as well. He was taller...broader...all in all bigger than Alex. He shrugged some and watched her go- " I dont blame her...I wouldn't trust me either." - He sighed and looked down to him- d
Alex Vipond: Alex shook his head and looked at Axle. "Yeah well she had plenty of opportunity before you or I arrived to give what she needed to get what she wanted. Her fucking loss. All I know is she lays another hand on Kaly, she'll pull back a bloody stump."
Theforgottenwolf: - A hand rose to rub the back of his head briefly- " yea..." - glancing across the way toward the Tela. He didn't know she was in there. He had no way of knowing. Only to glance back to Alex- " well maybe next time" - hands once again found his pockets- " Annalysse left earlier...not sure when she's going to come back. I just needed a little bit of air" - not really sure why he was telling Alex that. Just felt he needed to tell someone.- d
NiteotheAngel: Kaly watched from inside the place as Dezzy left and a little surprised as Axle walked up. She did not go out there still and played with Moses. She was a bit surprised when the woman left. She figured she would never leave. She just stayed where she was as she cleaned up tables and got things in order. She refilled Moses water bowl and took him to the kitchen to eat. Which the dog seemed to never stop doing. She was surprised the dog wasnt overweight or something.::
Alex Vipond: "Completely understandable. Hey, Bren was asking about you. She's been worried. I said you were okay and resting."
Theforgottenwolf: - He glanced down - " Yea. thanks." - he rolled his shoulders- "Maybe I'll go see her. I dont know. I just had to get out of the house" - He took a step back moving- " I'll be around tonight." - Not a man of many words these days. He turned and headed in the direction of Brenley’s house- d
Alex Vipond: "You take it easy. Call me if you need anything...." Alex watched him go and felt the weight bearing down on the man. He knew that feeling all too well. Only in Axle's case, he didn't deserve the torment. It wasn't his fault. Some could say that about Alex and he tried to appease himself with that, but ultimately, no one had acted on his behalf or made him act as he had. Yes, it had been pure instinct, and no he shouldn't have been where he was, wouldn't have been where he was, had Alea not sent him there, but it didn't take away the feeling of guilt over having killed one so innocent, nor did it eradicate his own culpability. Axle’s case was the polar opposite. He had not been in control. And for him to have to live with those memories, that guilt, would be enough to drive anyone over the edge.
Theforgottenwolf: " Yea catch you later Alex" - He slipped on down the street. Had he seen Kaly he likely still wouldn't have said anything to her. Unready to face those things yet. Instead he walked on his purpose another for the time being- d
