Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 3:34:30 AM)
Wilhelm came back to Irene the other night hanging from his pull up bars by her knees and not really even remembering how she got up there. She hasn't talked about it since but he can tell its troubling her, an excuse to keep her "distracted".
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 3:35:20 AM)
*Wilhelm drives, the dark old car rolling though the evening city, his strong hands on the wheel as they cross deeper into the city's half ruined industeral districts* It's an old brewery. I think I mentioned.. solid, expensive to insure now. Looks like it was built around the turn of the century.. *He dosn't ask about sleeping upsidedown, but wonders about it* Shut down for prohibition, started back up after
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 3:36:46 AM)
"Why are you so fixated on this place Wil? You've talked about it a few times ... it sounds like a miniature fortress..."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 3:38:07 AM)
That's half the reason.. *The man laughs soflty, glanceing to Irene* It's easy to defend.
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 3:38:51 AM)
"Right ... and looks like a pile of bricks." Smirking faintly about the very idea. "How are we ever going to make this into a home?"
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 3:40:09 AM)
A few drapes, some cinder blocks. The back seat out of a 70' impala and it's better then where most bone gnawers live. *He grins as he parks, the huge male climbing out of the car in the courtyard to the old building, the brick walls surrounding them but the gate that would have closed it off missing, the big bad wolf walking around to open the door for her*
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 3:42:06 AM)
"You're comparing the place you're taking me to to what bone gnawers live in ..." Sitting there for a moment before shaking her head and slipping out of the car and curiously looking around.
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 3:44:25 AM)
Sorry.. My standards suck. Half the reason I want you here. *He replies, more seriously.. the courtyard surrounded by brick walls twelve feet tall, a good place to park trucks, several loading doors four feet or so off the ground along the wall, and a heavy, person sized door, off to one side. The place has a dark vibe and feels lonely and empty, even before Katrina it was abandoned.. the big bad wolf looking around, takeing a flashlight from the trunk of his car to offer to Irene*
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 3:46:15 AM)
"Wow ..." Her eyes slowly taking it in. "This place is ... huge. But not really what I'd consider a home ...."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 3:48:36 AM)
*Wilhelm nods, his deep voice soft* The bottom floor is pretty much empty. The brewing tanks were copper, and worth it to salvagers to recover, so were most of the pipes.. *He opens the door, holding it for her* The second floor is.. much the same. thirteen foot celeings, thick brick walls, old brewery equpment. The top floor mixed it up with some offices. That would be the easest space to turn into a loft
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 3:49:57 AM)
She slips through the door, letting him lead and explain things as they go. "It ... is rather grim isn't it? A bomb could go off here and the next door neighbours mightn't even hear."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 3:52:36 AM)
I.. suppose so. Is privicy a bad thing? *Ask the huge male, smileing a bit to her and watching her as she walks inside, the windows deep set and widly spaced, bars on the outside to prevent intrusion casting odd shadows on the ground from the moon and city lights outside, the brewing floor a huge empty cavern, though there are several side rooms*
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 3:54:36 AM)
She follows after him, shaking her head a little. "What ... on earth would we use all this space for? This place is massive?" Slipping her hands into her pockets as she walks.
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 3:56:00 AM)
Filling with our many children. At least a dozen.. *He nods sagely, chuckleing soflty* In seriousness.. a wolfpack, most likely.
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 3:56:42 AM)
"A dozen children? I don't think so. That'd leave me as a mini-tank for the next ten years."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 3:58:13 AM)
*The huge werewolf looks around the cavernous room, the man smileing and reaching out to Irene, patting her dark hair and leading the latino girl to the second floor. More subdivided, with walls where the first floor used pillars, still it's the massive outer walls that hold most of the weight of the brewery, a grim tower of dark brick. It smells of old yeast and dust, the hint of mold on the first floor fadeing the higher you go*
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 3:59:48 AM)
A wrinkling of her nose as she rises through the rooms, wrapping an arm about his waist as they walk, as though she needs his company. "Place is a bit creepy ... and I only just managed to make your place not smell like wolf."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:00:25 AM)
Don't be silly.. you've just gotten used to it. *he grins* And here I was thinking "and I only just managed to get Irene to smell like wolf"
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:01:15 AM)
A snort at that, though she squeezes him with her arm. "You wish."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:02:15 AM)
As far as creepy.. it's not as bad durning the day. *The huge building is above ground, of course, but feels like a cave.. the top floor the most divided, and seeming abandoned with little removed.. old file cabnets and desk, broken chairs and a few tables, offices and a great empty room where something once sat, now empty. Easily the creepiest floor, however.. yellowed old memos are tacked to wooden walls, doors with peeling paint that speak of the person that once worked inside*
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:03:51 AM)
She stops as she gets to the memos, not sure if she wants to walk through here. Shivering a little and gazing up towards him. "This place gives me the heebies ... maybe its just the dark and the shadows, but it does. I mean, the dark normally doesn't bother me at all."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:06:57 AM)
We can go if you want, Irene.. there's plenty of places to check too. *He replies in his rough voice, turning and looking to her, takeing it seriously as she shivers, strong hands restingon her sholders*
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:07:48 AM)
"You have your mind set on here though, I can tell. I just ... like this? I can't see how we could work, its going to take a heap of money to make it into a home..."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:09:13 AM)
*He seems suprised* I was thinking we'd take our time. To do a slow remodel, not too much money at once.. *He glances around, then back to Irene* There are other places. I like this one, but this city is full of buildings nobody wants anymore
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:11:05 AM)
"Well ..." Moving to lean move against his side and looking about. "What other places have you got in mind? Any?"
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:13:11 AM)
An old victorian in the lakeview district. It's got some serious flood damage.. and maybe some of the old places on the cannals
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:14:09 AM)
"Why do I have a feeling you want to buy a place where you can get your hands dirty and work on it?"
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:15:35 AM)
Err.. Irene, nobody knows who even owns this place. My plan was to bribe some people in the city to come up with halfway decent paperwork and effectively be squatting here until it's sorted. *he nods to her, seeming a bit embrassed, then chuckleing* I don't know.. I want somewhere with charcter. Maybe.. someplace with a sprirt or two
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:17:43 AM)
Her eyes roam around the brewery before finally. -q- "I dont think any of the spirits here right now would be overly pleasant..."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:20:35 AM)
*He glances around and considers* I don't know.. there could be racoon sprirts around here.. rats of course.. and ravens, roosting on this thing.. *He slips an arm around Irene, holding her lightly and walking slowly though the third floor and at last up to the roof, the view of the city commanding from the height, a breeze rolling in off the gulf*
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:21:43 AM)
And.. alright, it's a bad place in a lot of ways. But it's not tainted.. just unfriendly
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:23:11 AM)
Irene lets him lead her. -q- "With such a large area I could maybe set a part up as a bat cave. Theres certainly no lack of room for it."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:24:18 AM)
*He nods and smiles* Humm.. we could. Maybe block off part of the second floor? Small holes, covered windows, sticks across the celing for roosting.. maybe a chinup bar for you.. *He teases her gently*
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:25:12 AM)
She makes a face at the last. "I wish I remember getting up there .... I felt groggy when you pulled me down off it."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:26:27 AM)
I'm suprised you diden't feel worse.. hanging upside like that can't be conforble.. *His large, powerful hand strokeing down Irene's back*
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:29:09 AM)
Do you have any places that you like? Anywhere that we should check out while we are hunting?
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:29:52 AM)
"No ... not really, my places are always much more practical and .... plain really Wil." Resting against his side.
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:31:30 AM)
I'm sure we can find an old aslyum. Those places tended to be pretty well built.. lots of padded rooms and I'm sure plenty of sprirts.. *He jokes with her, smileing and running a hand down her back* If you don't want to live in a place like this.. I'd understand
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:33:03 AM)
"I didn't say that ... its just going to take a heap of work till we can even really live here..." Gazing up towards him and then smiling. "You're getting more comfortable just being with me."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:35:42 AM)
*The werewolf nods, glanceing around quitely* I don't know.. getting the power up would be a challange, but I think I know someone that knows who to talk to. Once that's up.. the water already works. Could move in within a couple days.. getting a few rooms cleaned out and habitable up here shouden't be too hard
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:37:15 AM)
"Theres a difference between water and power and a home Wilhelm." Using his full name with reason.
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:38:40 AM)
It's.. *he shurgs* You know my past, Irene. to me home is a place to sleep. Preferbly a place to sleep where I could kill anyone thta tries to walk in without my say so
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:39:24 AM)
I've lived on the streets, in an old subway tunnels in the undercity, and for a week or two, a penthouse. It's.. all the same to me, really
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:39:53 AM)
Subway's in chi-town, of course. You dig six inchs around here and you've made a well
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:40:12 AM)
Irene moves about infront of him and he feels her hands slip onto his sides as she cranes her neck to look up at him. -q- "Well ... things have changed now. You have a family to worry about too and make happy."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:40:56 AM)
*Wilhelm nods, takeing a slow, deep breath, a little suprised.. then looking down, kneeling so they are level and his strong hands strokeing down her hair to rest on her sholders* Tell me what you need to be happy.
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:43:39 AM)
"Honestly?" She smiles a little. "This new life of mine has thrown everything on its head. I'm no longer all that sure..."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:44:22 AM)
*Wilhelm nods, his voice soft* Best thing to do, if you aren't sure where you are going.. you can take one step you are sure of. What would the first step be? *He ask*
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:48:20 AM)
She smiles faintly before leaning in and kissing him softly, holding it for a moment before parting. Her answer, of sorts.
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:48:52 AM)
*Wilhelm kisses in return, hands strokeing her dark hair, pulling her closer to his huge, strong form*
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:53:57 AM)
A grin can be felt against his lips and she lets out a little murmur before moving to give him a light hug. "I know you mean well, if this is what you want ... then who am I to say no?"
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:55:31 AM)
Your Irene.. and if I've claimed you, that means that your my little kinfolk. I'd hardly be respecting you to drag you somewhere that you hate, to live in what is little more then a cave of brick. *He tells her in his deep voice.. then smiles* This place really is better then the old victorian
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:58:27 AM)
"Why is it better than the old victorian? All the flood damage?" Looking into his eyes curiously.
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 4:59:04 AM)
Yeah. It's more solid, safer, and I don't know that anyone has died here
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 4:59:58 AM)
"Uhh ... and someone did at the victorian?"
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 5:01:08 AM)
A few people.. in the twenties there was an incident.. and three people drowned there durning Katrina
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 5:02:31 AM)
"That ... sounds like a bad combination. I mean, I hear ghosts are actually -real-?"
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 5:04:19 AM)
I've heard that. Darya certanly seems to belive so. *He replies to Irene as his hand strokes her back* I have never encounterd the sprirts of the dead, but I know the resonance of dark things can draw dark sprirts
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 5:05:15 AM)
He actually feels her adjust a little as he strokes her hand, smiling for a moment, despite their words. -q- "You can't keep your hands off my back, why do you like it so?"
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 5:05:47 AM)
I just like petting you.. Dose it bother you? *He ask, looking into her eyes with a faint smile*
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 5:06:28 AM)
"It doesn't bother me. I suppose it could be worse, you could be making me feel like a dog with other places."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 5:07:39 AM)
Humm.. other places I'd like to pet? *He ask curiously.. huge, strong hand reaching down, strokeing Irene, petting down her chest to her belly, cressing her breast in the processes as they stand together on the roof*
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 5:08:45 AM)
A blush at that before finally leaning in to kiss him once more softly. -q- "I was meaning my head and hair you big lummox."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 5:10:46 AM)
*He chuckles soflty* There's noplace I don't want to pet you.. humm.. should we head home? It's gotten late.. *His lips hot as he kisses her, leaning into Irene, hand strokeing her back slowly*
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 5:12:20 AM)
"Might be an idea ..." Grinning against his lips again before finally a hesitant touch to her words. -q- "Would you be happy if I at least gave you a little help tonight?"
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 5:13:39 AM)
A little.. ahhh.. *He acutely blushs a little, smileing and groaning* Humm.. I still intend to carry you to a bed scattered with roses after a proper, romanatic evening.. but.. humm.. God, I need you. Anything your ready for, little one *He sweeps Irene off her feet, grinning a little, carrying her to the car*
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 5:15:40 AM)
She gasps as shes swept up before actually just letting him carry her and enjoying it, getting used to how he enjoys carrying her about so. "Cosette would have a fieldday if she saw all this now."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 5:18:08 AM)
*He chuckles soflty, not tenseing this time at Cosette's mention, carrying her gently downstairs to the car, slipping her inside and kissing her lightly* Humm.. why?
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 5:19:53 AM)
She leans up to kiss him once more as they part after pulling him back in before shrugging and grinning up at him. "Could you have imagined me like this before this all?"
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 5:21:21 AM)
*He laughs soflty* Huhumm.. no. I remeber you being quite suprised the first time I picked you up.. carrying you off to bed with your new computer. She did have some.. suggestions, while we did that
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 5:22:46 AM)
A pause before blinking as she vaguely remembers it. "Saucey I think they were."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 5:26:42 AM)
Humm.. *He nods, soflty chuckleing* She suggested that I take you right then. I don't think you'd approve of that
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 5:28:06 AM)
"I ... think we're both starting to warm up to that possibility." Smiling at him before a squeeze of his arm. "Get around and drive us home...."
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 5:28:56 AM)
*Wilhelm walks around to get in and start the car and drive, the big bad wolf smileing over to Irene, reaching across the seat to gently pat her knee*
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 5:29:11 AM)
((Humm, should we call it a night?.. err.. afternoon for you?))
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 5:30:59 AM)
(9:30pm, its evening)
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 5:31:12 AM)
(hope that was a good scene for you)
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 5:32:29 AM)
((Ahh, *smile* I'm bad at math. I'll se ya soon? And I had lots of fun))
Irene Copp (Sep 20, 2010 5:33:05 AM)
(cya sooner rather than later, sure)
Wilhelm Faust (Sep 20, 2010 5:33:30 AM)
((*Nods and pets*))
