Oh? What is that? ::still dancing around, sipping from her drink::
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:11:35 AM)

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:13:11 AM)
Oui.. that's where Gracie gets them.. what about the one last night... and how did you find out?
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:13:42 AM)
(oh, apparently, there was a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolate on the front doorstep... from Taylor to Luci::

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:14:27 AM)
(Luci is talking to Taylor)
Lina Devereaux (Jul 1, 2010 12:15:29 AM)
((OHH nevermind. I misread. Thought you said they were for Lina from the coroner. Names crossed. lol))
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:15:34 AM)
Oohh.... You asked Gracie. I'm surprised she gave you a straight answer. ::rolling her eyes::

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:16:04 AM)
Um... let me see if people are okay with that....::putting her phone on mute:: Um... Taylor... wants to come over. Do you mind?
Lina Devereaux (Jul 1, 2010 12:17:05 AM)
*snorts* Which one's Taylor again?
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:17:45 AM)
::narrowing her eyes:: The lab technician. I'm finished with Shouta, he can kiss my sweet behind. And who the hell knows what Gary is thinking anymore... I give up.
Lina Devereaux (Jul 1, 2010 12:18:27 AM)

Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 12:25:16 AM)
*pulls into the driveway, straightening his shirt, wearing nice slacks and a button up shirt, carrying a bottle as he knocks on the door (or rings the doorbell?)
Lina Devereaux (Jul 1, 2010 12:26:15 AM)
((gimme a sec to dig up links.. but you're in a backyard in city center, with probably two to three dozen of the neighbors..kids running all around, folding chairs and tables with old bedsheets for tablecloths. Music blaring from an old stereo on the steps of the back porch..the cord going in through the open door to the kitchen**
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 12:26:34 AM)

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:26:53 AM)

Lina Devereaux (Jul 1, 2010 12:27:42 AM)
**the smell of charcoal grilling and barbecue sauce float all around the block, and there's a sign in the front yard that seems to have been used often "The kitchen is OPEN, go on back!"**

Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 12:31:20 AM)
*smiles and wanders out back, looking about, trying to straighten his shirt as before he gets too close to the groups, looking about for Luci as he carries a bottle of rather nice rum with him*
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:33:23 AM)
::Luci is in a pair of jeans, the one that looks like she was poured in, and a black fitted tank, barefoot. She's surrounded by neighborhood kids as she dances around, a red plastic cup in hand, she's eyeing Lina though. She looks over to Taylor and smiles:: Bonjour Taylor... ::she leans in and kisses his cheek::
Lina Devereaux (Jul 1, 2010 12:33:27 AM)
*most of those in back are shoeless, including Lina and Luci. Lina's at the grill with a pair of tongs, a big plate, and a little bit of rhythm..her hips bouncing to the music half-unconsciously. Lina's in flared jeans and a white tank top, some sort of tattoo showing on her right shoulder from beneath the edges of the shirt's strap*
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 12:36:32 AM)
*smiles and gives Luci a hug* How are you doing Mlle? *see's Lina, and offers her the bottle and a smile* Ah, hello, you must be the Lina Luci has told me soo much about.
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:38:03 AM)
::she smiles, moving with Taylor:: Lina... this is Taylor.... Taylor... my best friend, Lina...
Lina Devereaux (Jul 1, 2010 12:39:23 AM)
*looks over as someone hugs Luci, an impish smile stealing over her features, giving him the once-over while he's distracted. Her smile morphs into a warm grin when he greetsher and brings booze* She tol' ya enough, looks like.. *laughing and putting the plate full of chicken into Luci's hands so she can take the rum* Dat makes you Taylor, den. *nodding at the buffet table on the porch* Go'n grab yaself a plate sugah. Get sometin before de kids pick it all ovah.
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 12:40:56 AM)
*grins and nods* Pleasure to meet you, and thank you. *smiles and aquires a plate, taking a few pieces of chicken and other nommables as Lina said before wandering back*
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:41:14 AM)
::Luci is eyeing Lina over Taylors shoulder, giving her a "don't" look.... shaking her head at Lina with a grin, accepting the chicken, she rolls her eyes and moves over to the heavily-laden table, trying to find a spot to put the large platter down::
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 12:44:21 AM)
*smiles, and helps shift things for Luci, snagging a piece of the fresh off the grill chicken*
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:46:22 AM)
::she grins to Taylor:: Better get a plate before it's gone... ::winking::
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 12:46:50 AM)

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:47:06 AM)
::she grins, whispering:: I'm waiting for Lina to see if she notices...
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 12:47:56 AM)
*smirks, and puts a few pieces of chicken on a plate and handing it to Luci* Well here, you know you need to eat too, Mlle.
Lina Devereaux (Jul 1, 2010 12:48:04 AM)
*closes up the grill as a fresh load of chicken started cooking, and gives that gift bottle a serious examination, sauntering up to the house to put it out of reach of the little troublemakers around*
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 12:48:26 AM)
(it's a very high quality bottle of puerto rican rum)
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:49:49 AM)
::she smiles:: Two of you? ::she rolls her eyes:: I'm sure you two will get along famously together...
Lina Devereaux (Jul 1, 2010 12:50:41 AM)
*practically purring, she notes Luci's plate has only chicken..and she dumps a spoonfull of greens on it before grinning at Taylor and Luci ..and going in the house to put the bottle away for now*
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 12:51:13 AM)
*chuckles, and takes his own plate, with all sorts of nommables* With this good of food? I'd hope so.
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:53:47 AM)
::Luci grins and she looks at her plate:: Yes... you two will get along swimmingly. Here's to my mornings spent in the gym... ::getting a fork and nibbling on her food::
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 12:54:45 AM)
*smiles and munches on a piece of the chicken* It was a good workout this morning too.
Lina Devereaux (Jul 1, 2010 12:54:59 AM)
*walking back out of the kitchen to that line*
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:55:03 AM)
::she raises an eyebrow:: You went to the gym? ::looking mildly surprised::
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 12:55:36 AM)
*nods* Yeah, before heading to work this morning.
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:56:24 AM)
::she grins:: What brought that on?
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:57:15 AM)
::Luci looked to Lina... eyeing her face as she walked outside to hear that:: I was home!
Lina Devereaux (Jul 1, 2010 12:58:05 AM)
*brows high, offering no answer, taking the "high road" and sashays off the porch to get her Sprite from the grilling area*
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 12:58:05 AM)
*smiles* Well, since I was left sore the other day from working out, I figured practice makes perfect, right?
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 12:59:27 AM)
Left sore? ::raising an eyebrow as she looks to him, nibbling on her food, she relaxes on a perch, then looks over to Lina:: He will be happy tonight?
Lina Devereaux (Jul 1, 2010 1:01:21 AM)
*returning with the soda* Hrm? What's dat sugah? *dropping unceremoniously into a seat nearby the couple*
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 1:01:31 AM)
*sighs happily as he munches on the food on his plate, smiling* It's delicious, Lina.
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 1:02:06 AM)

Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 1:07:18 AM)

Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 1:12:00 AM)
::Luci shrugs:: It wasn't discussed... ::she looks to Taylor:: You said you found out about the black roses? ::she looks to Lina:: You know those three dead black roses she gave me... then that weirdly pretty one last night..
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 1:12:59 AM)
*smiles* I hadn't come up with a plan for this evening, no... The roses, yeah, isn't that garden city run? I heard someone mention it was controlled by a volunteer council.
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 1:13:21 AM)
Volunteer council? Any idea who?
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 1:13:52 AM)
*shakes his head* Sadly no... I figured you'd probably have better resources to find out.
Lina Devereaux (Jul 1, 2010 1:14:11 AM)
Hadn't heard about the pretty one..no. *listening as she picks at her food*
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 1:14:42 AM)
Oh.... here. I'll get it... ::she puts her plate down and heads inside::
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 1:16:20 AM)

::Duke escapes as Luci moves back out, carrying a long black box, and he goes running ahead of Luci, Freedom!, running to Lina, and putting paws on her legs, whimpering::

*nods a bit to Taylor* Must be why I missed it. *gives the pup a piece of chickn before petting him*
Lucinde Duboir (Jul 1, 2010 1:21:44 AM)
::he noms on chicken before plonking down next to her, waiting for more, and Luci brings the box back to Lina, opening it, to reveal a (crafts 5) black rose, a single thorn on it, away from where anyone might touch it::

::Luci checks her phone.... :: Annnnd.... we're on-call, Lina.

::Luci sighs, and leans in, kissing Taylor's cheek:: I should change... I'll be right back. Think I can convince you to snag Duke and bring him in?

*sighs, figuring that the two ladies were going to be heading out* Well, if you need help cleaning up...
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 1:25:36 AM)
*smiles and gives her a hug* No problem. Give me a call when you can, okay?
Taylor Valos (Jul 1, 2010 1:25:49 AM)
