(*makes Aarron pay for all the drinks*)
Local Help (Oct 26, 2011 9:35:34 PM)
*the bar was a dilapidated building that was clean on the inside. It was old, steel siding, with a faded roof. There was several trucks in the parking lot, not a single car - and they all looked like they meant work in some capacity or another. It was evening when you two got there, but not so late the place was closed. It smelled of the mississippi out in the parking lot...*
Akako Masako (Oct 26, 2011 9:37:45 PM)
*mumbled something incoherantly about why she decided here was one of the better choices. ugh, why couldn't a Galliard or a Ragabash have done this part., They were so much better with words, and lies. Fingers scratching at her cheek silently as she stared at the building.*
Local Help (Oct 26, 2011 9:37:56 PM)
*Inside it was pretty much seat yourself, there were a good two dozen men and a few women, all in small groups, most of them seemed like co-workers. There were no families in there.....*
Aarron St. James (Oct 26, 2011 9:39:11 PM)
(I dun know, my subterfuge is pretty high :). lol, did they not want to leave the Shadow Lord alone in a bar?) *he took in a deep breath as he approached the bar, getting the good thick barry aroma that was probably oozing out of the place and with a thought set his crow to sitting atop the roof and keeping a look out for any kind of trouble, his eyes flicking over the place as he glanced to Akako and as he stepped into the bar he grinned and elbowed the small glasswalker lightly* Looks like we picked a good place. I bet they serve one hell of a drink here.
Local Help (Oct 26, 2011 9:41:20 PM)
*It... didn't smell tainted - but it smelled like taint HAD been in here before - the place inside was clean - very clean - and it looked like the owner was very conscientious. There was no kitchen, the cooking was done out in the open. The menu was on a chalk board behind the bar and advertised 2 dollar beer, 3 dollar mixed drinks, and the special of the day was Redfish. The locals didn't pay much mind to the two newcomers... at least, not yet.*
Aarron St. James (Oct 26, 2011 9:42:42 PM)
Aww sweet, two dollar beer. Why don't you get us some babe, I'll find a seat. *and he would glance around, looking for an empty table near a larger group of workers, one that wouldn't mind having two strangers sitting near them*
Akako Masako (Oct 26, 2011 9:45:10 PM)
But I... *groaned faintly, shaking her head as she moved towards the bar to order some beers. How did she end up being the one paying....*
Local Help (Oct 26, 2011 9:47:25 PM)
*The workers were talking shop - which was mostly annoyance. One of them was complaining* if Tyrese didn't fucking keep cutting corners we wouldn't keep having to tote buckets of extra waste oil up to the recyclers. God, why does he ALWAYS open the valves to flush the lines when he KNOWS we're still snugging up the damn flanges? *One of the other shook his head* He likes doing it because his boss fucked with him and did that shit ALL the time until he got promoted.
Aarron St. James (Oct 26, 2011 9:49:40 PM)
*he got himself situated and discreetly listened in on the conversation with his back to the locals as he waited for Akako to get back with the beers, deciding for now that things would go nice and smoothly with just listening to their complaints and gripes at the moment*
Local Help (Oct 26, 2011 9:54:09 PM)
*The one who was bitching sighed* Tyrese just likes being a black man who orders white dudes around, he'd do it even if his old ass boss hadn't done it to him. *One of the men at the table was black, he gave the talker a pissed look* Why's it always gotta be about race mother fucker? *Another of the men at the table, the quietest of the bunch spoke up.* Tyrese told us that himself Bosco, don't let it bug you.
Akako Masako (Oct 26, 2011 9:55:02 PM)
*paid for a pair of drinks in cash, sighing heavily as she made her way towards the location that Aarron had picked out. Occationally sparing a glance into the depths of her drink as if expecting to find a fly.. or something*
Local Help (Oct 26, 2011 9:55:12 PM)
*"Bosco" flipped them off* You all just pissed because you still turning wrenches. If you worked half as hard as you complained- *Quiet boy cut him off* Tyrese didn't give you the raise. *Bosco blinked, then asked* The hell you know about that? *He smiled back* I listen.
Local Help (Oct 26, 2011 9:55:35 PM)
*The glasses WERE clean, and the beer was fresh Abita. It wasn't bad at all.*
Aarron St. James (Oct 26, 2011 9:57:39 PM)
*he grinned as the beer arrived* Nice. Clean glasses and everything. Told ya this place was top notch. *and he chugged down half the beer before setting it on the table as he continued to listen in on the conversation behind him for now as he looked across the table at Akako* Stop lookin so glum babe. We'll get to sight-seein later.
Local Help (Oct 26, 2011 9:58:42 PM)
*the guys all kind of seimmered for a moment, then the waitress bought out plates. They had soft shelled crab and shrimp po boys and crawfish etouffe... it smelled good. The waitress seemed to avoid the quiet boy though.... it was obvious.*
Aarron St. James (Oct 26, 2011 10:00:31 PM)
*he took another swig of the beer as he noticed the waiteress' avoidence of the quite guy, his eyes continuing to flick around the room for a moment, never lingering too long on anyone person though he now had a new found interest in the quiet guy*
Akako Masako (Oct 26, 2011 10:01:22 PM)
I'm not glum. I'm just not comfortable. Plus I don't drink....often.. *sighed gently, taking a sip from her own beer. Nose wrinkling slightly, before following the sip with a large gulp*
Aarron St. James (Oct 26, 2011 10:02:46 PM)
(Where is the quiet one in relation to our position?)
Local Help (Oct 26, 2011 10:02:48 PM)
*The food was laid out and Quiet guy sighed* you give a girl one valentine she thinks you're a stalker. *Bosco laughed aloud* most people don't suggest fucking like bunny rabbits in their first valentine card you jackass. *Quiet guy glared at Bosco, then held up his beer* Here's to not dumping 10 million gallons of crude into the back lot today. *THey all raised their glasses.*

What's to be not comfortable about? Got good beer, clean place and what smells like great food. Ya want some? *he grinned a bit as he started to push back out of his seat a little* I'll go ask 'em what they got so we can order it. Gotta have food to go with the beer after all.
Local Help (Oct 26, 2011 10:06:35 PM)
*The table behind them, Bosco and Quiet boy and COmplainer went to eating... the small talk subsided....*
Akako Masako (Oct 26, 2011 10:07:38 PM)
Yes.. food would be great. Shouldn't drink on an empty stomach. *drumming her mechanical fingers against the table, before scratching at the prosthetic socket with her other hand*
Aarron St. James (Oct 26, 2011 10:08:47 PM)
*he walked past and gave her shoulder a squeeze with a grin as he walked up to the table with the workers* Hey fella's, don't mean to interupt yer meal or nuthin. But what is that? It smells great and me and my girl were thinkin of orderin it.

*he smiled wide and offered him a hand* Well thanks fer the service man. You like that thing? It's new stuff from up North round Chicago. All experimental and shit. Cost... well, an arm and a leg. *he smirked and looked back over to Akako* Hey babe, come on over here for a minute.

But you know I ain't one for the tech talk.

Aarron St. James (Oct 26, 2011 10:32:30 PM)
*he grimaced again with a light shrug as he inched a bit closer to quiet boy and kind of lowered his voice* I actually think it was the kiss. I get a little over zealous sometimes. I'll hear about it at the hotel I'm sure.

Well, we'll leave ya too yer meal. *he glanced to quiet boy again with a small smirk* Swing by the table when yer done if ya got questions about. Like she said, loves showin it off. *and he made a small nod of his head for Akako to head back to the table with him*
Akako Masako (Oct 26, 2011 10:39:53 PM)

(come on Akako, you're our only hope....)
( I told you! I'm emotionless!! 3 suxx! )
(makes for spotting people with emotions easier >.> )
(NICE!) *The waitress wasn't sure about Aarron, but Akako was a girl, she didn't look like she'd liked the Quiet one anyway...* it's.. nothing really. Paul makes me nervous. He is always staring at me.
I think that's because he likes you? Then again.. I haven't dated in a long time *thumbs towards Aarron* so I could be off
*he thanked Gaia for a touch of the feminine at this table, seeing as he was never the best at being, all touchy feely and stuff and he offered a rather stupid grin to that comment to go along with an idea that he had scored way above his level*
He likes me, but in all the wrong ways. He has no idea who I am but he sent me this valentine card. It said "Roses are red, leaves are green, I'd sure like to bang you, I'm like a machine." I mean... oh man. *She shook her head* if he just, you know, glanced at me every now and then? I wouldn't care. But he *stares* at me.
Well... that's probably not a good thing. Seems like he might end up being one of those types, that is going to cause trouble. Might be a better idea to.. you know. Talk to someone before things start getting out of hand. Or maybe check for new places to work, that aren't so close to where he's working.
*She leaned over* I'm moving to Chalmette to take a job out there in a one of the sugar refineries in about three weeks. He just, creeps me out, you know. *She looked at both of them* I'm sorry, I shouldn't trouble you with this stuff....
*shrugged* Don't worry about it. Just.. make sure not to let him know where you're going. I've seen enough TV shows to know that.. once he finds out.. he'll come to find you.. and.. he wont be friendly
*he wondered idlely if Paul knew about the move already, with the obsessive nature that he had been displaying it wouldn't be suprising if he already knew, this could certainly make things easier for them if he did make a move*
*shrugged* But I suppose you get alot of people in here from the refinery.
I doubt it. paul is... creepy... but he's not dangerous creepy... so far. I bought a hand gun. And the sugar deal is only until the fall school semester, then I'm going to Lafayette for college. Get the hell outta here.
*he idlely glanced at the waitress' name tag to get her name as she talked about her plans for the future, his eyes flicking back out across the other tables as well*
(Andrea) *She stood up* How's the food guys? All right?
Good is great *smiled* Thanks for asking.
*he had been idlely munching on the crab, a tiny piece here, a tiny piece there* It's delicious, best I've had in a long time. *his appetite for the cooked food was minimal at best*
(Food*)
(The food was in fact, very good. and clean.) *Andrea smiled* Thank you both, and I am sorry to unload on you. Pie is on me when you're done if you want desert.
(Strict Carnivore, wouldn't matter if it was the finest prepared food in the world. lol)
(hey, it's MEAT!)
*Something about this occurs to you - they were complaining about a middle manager who liked to mess with his people....*
*if the one guy was on his way to becoming a bane, the likelyhood of the middle manager already being a bane was probably pretty good. he glanced around for a moment as he thought on the matter and then back to Akako* (Ah, but the closer to raw, the happier I is. hehe) I think we might want to stick around fer a bit after the place closes. I gotta feelin.
(Flash forward. )* The place closed at 10 PM, Andrea and you two were the only three left inside, and the short order cook who was cleaning off the grill. Andrea walked back by* I'm closing up, last call for you two....
*shrugged* That's fine.. give me more time to plot you doom.
(DOOM)
*he nodded and glanced to Akako to have her pay the bill, as what was in his pockets was mostly "garbage and junk" by normal people standards* Sure thing, we don't mean to keep ya hangin round or nuthin. Jus' such a nice place ya'll got here.
(Hey at least I'm a modern man, I let the girl pay. lol)
*sighed, before digging out more of her hard earned money*
*she waved a hand absentmindedly* Not my place, but thank you anyway.
it's rare anyone comes in that doesn't work for that refinery.
I bet, what with it bein so close an' all.
Yeah, well, that and the locals who DON'T work for the refinery, they don't like it all that much. Anyway, you two have a lovely night. *She leaned into whisper not so subtly to Akako* Don't kick his ass TOO hard....
*glanced towards her, before grinning* Well, that depends on... his pain tolerance, I suppose.
*he pushed up to his feet* You be careful out there. *tilting his head lightly at what the girls were whispering about and just shrugging it off as he headed for the door, intent on finding a nice place to lurk for a bit till the waitress decided to head out*
*left a large tip on the table, before moving to follow Aarron* Have a good evening.
*Andrea waved at the two of them. Outside there was only an old Chevy S-10 and a Ford F-150 in the back of the parking lot... Andrea's and the cooks? most likely....*
*his eyes gazed around slowly for a good place to hide in the shadows as he looked up towards the roof where crow still sat, a small smile on his lips as he went towards Akako's car, leaning over on it as he acted like he had had one to many and braced himself against the car with a groan* I'm not feelin up to the drive right now, let's just wait a bit. *in the meantime, he let his eyes scan the parking lot for any sign of Paul, hoping that his thoughts had been correct on the matter*
If you upchuck on my car... I will tie you to the back bumper.. and drag you down the road...
(you knew it was coming - Per + alertness!)
<3 succ>
(1suxx)
*Aarron catches it... Paul was there all right. But not in the parking lot. An old Chevy was parked across the street and paulw as smoking a cigarette in the driver's seat, waiting outside a Raceland convenience store.....*
*Coincidence? i think not....*
*Andrea, for her part, came out about five minutes later, got in the little S-10, and fired it up. despite looking like it's age it ran quite smoothly out of the parking lot and she turned not down River Road, but north up 1st st.....*
*he opened the car door quickly and slid in* Akako, quick, follow her and the truck that's about to follow her.
*his suddenly drunken state gone as he hoped Akako was like many other glasswalkers and could drive this car well*
*sighed* first I buy dinner.. then you start ordering me around.. *sighed, climbing into her car to follow the pair*
(Akako needs a strong, take charge kind of man! - Akako, please make me a dex + drive roll.)
(2suxx)
(and no i dont... akako likes her partners to be cute, smart, and fragile!)
*he glanced out the window towards the sky where he could see crow, hopefully it would also be able to follow the cars from a birds eye perspective* First, I don't have any money. Second, that guy is about two tentacles shy of being a full blown fomor. Third, this lets us save her and possibly get some kind of access to the refinery at the same time. Or at least someone to interogate about the inner workings.
*Andrea drove only a mile up the back road before she turned in and parked in front of a double wide mobile home. Paul drove past. He parked only about a half dozen houses / lots down, and stayed in the car while Andrea got out and went inside.....*
Pull up next to his truck. I think we're lost and I need to ask for directions. *he grinned a bit*
You are definately lost... *slowly rolling up beside the truck*
*The Chevy was ticking softly as the engine cooled in the Lousiana night... Paul looked over, then blinked in surprise*
*he chuckled and got out of the car, walking around to the driver side of the truck* Hey. Hey buddy. Can ya help us out a bit. *playing like he was talking to a total stranger at the moment, like he didn't know who was in the truck*
*Paul blinked again* What you need?
*He was... obviously surpriced and taken aback....*
*he walked up to the window and looked at him* Oh hey, you're from the bar. Well see, we're driving and my girl took a wrong turn back there... *and he pointed down the road, right before he would haul off and sucker punch Paul right in the jaw*
