Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 8:39:12 PM)
*The place is a little crowded, but he manages to find a corner table that is just being cleaned and leads her to it.*

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 8:40:19 PM)
Slipping her purse off her shoulder and setting it against the wall, she slides into her seat, tucking her hair behind her ears and looking around curiously.

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 8:41:31 PM)
*He sits across from her and signals a waiter while he asks* Never been here before?

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 8:42:29 PM)
Shaking her head, she returns her attention to him. "No. I usually just grab a salad or sandwich from the nearby deli on my way home, or Mateo cooks for us. Until very recently, I have not been going out to eat."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 8:46:09 PM)
Ah. Well, you ought to try the St. Louis ribs to start, and the pulled pork as the main dish, with the corn and cheese and the baked beans for siding.

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 8:46:20 PM)
They got no salads here, none at all. But it's good food.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 8:47:18 PM)
((yes, they do *grins*))

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 8:47:45 PM)
((They didn't use to!))

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 8:47:53 PM)
((So maybe he's remembering that time))

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 8:49:10 PM)
As the server arrives, she starts to look over the menu intently, eyes alight with anticipation.

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 8:49:48 PM)
*Waits for her to make up her mind.*

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 8:51:14 PM)
After a few moments, her eyes keep travelling back to the same beef brisket sandwich. "I would like one of those, with a sweet tea to drink." She smiles up at the server and hands back the menu.

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 8:51:54 PM)
tsc. You should have gone with my suggestion. *He orders all that for himself, then, and some coke.*

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 8:53:03 PM)
"Yes, but I cannot eat all of that." She laughs softly. "Besides, it looked really good..."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 8:54:10 PM)
*Nods* I like it here. Ain't even all that expensive.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 8:55:22 PM)
Glancing around as their drinks are delivered, she smiles. "I am surprised I have not heard of this place before now. Mateo usually keeps me informed of all of the eateries, and if not him, London should have said something."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 8:56:58 PM)
*Chuckles* Apparently, I know some things they don't, huh?

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 8:57:56 PM)
"Apparently, you know a lot of things they do not." She grins at him. "So, what else do you do? Aside from working on cars, I mean."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 8:58:54 PM)
So far, that's pretty much it. I'm still getting... I mean... adapting to this new view of things, if you know what I mean.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 9:00:20 PM)
She smiles and nods. "I do. It will take some getting used to, of course, but there are many here who will be more than willing to help you with that." Her smile softens a little. "I may not remember much of before, but there are some who do. You met one of them last night."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:00:50 PM)
Don't remember much either, so we're even there. And which one?

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 9:04:29 PM)
"William. I am sure that Violetta and London remember much, but William is the only one I know of for certain. I could introduce you to him, if you want."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:07:57 PM)
Oh, I've met him.

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:08:08 PM)
I'll ask him about that stuff some time, then.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 9:09:00 PM)
Lifting her straw to her lips, she takes a small sip of her tea, then stirs the ice idlly for a little while.

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:09:42 PM)
*He sips from his coke and asks* What about you? Especially now that you ain't singing...

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 9:10:55 PM)
She shrugs. "I do not really have much to occupy my time. I wake up, practice, then go running for an hour or two... come home, get cleaned up, and sing a little around the house to my ipod while I clean."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:11:28 PM)
Practice what?

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 9:11:51 PM)
Her face pales a little before she shakes her head. "Just... stuff."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:12:02 PM)
Ah... ok.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 9:17:57 PM)
((i don't mind... just no rwar ragey wolf stuff... Jeff?))

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 9:18:11 PM)
(oh course. the sts would have my wolfy tail)

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:20:21 PM)
((I don't mind either))

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:20:29 PM)
((We're not doing any demonic stuff))

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:21:22 PM)
((But I need to go afk for a few minutes to walk the dog))

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 9:21:28 PM)
((ok :) ))

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 9:22:03 PM)
(okay :)

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 9:29:09 PM)
*limped into the restaurant, wearing kahki colored cargo pants and a decent enough shirt, looked, perhaps twenty, although he carried a cane with a carved head of some sort, and flecks of gray adorned his hair.*

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 9:34:06 PM)
Glancing over at the door as motion catches her eye, she blinks at the new face, then returns her attention to Jeff. "So, how did you find this place, anyway?"

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 9:49:26 PM)
(This user has entered Squeal Bar-B-Q) (IP = 107.9.222.133)

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 9:51:33 PM)
*was fidgeting while trying to stay out of the way of folks, given that a number would be spooked out by him, while waiting for lex*

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 9:52:42 PM)
*she came in a bit late it seemed and looked around for tristan, she still had a mile wide smile that hadn't faded any from last night.

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 9:54:16 PM)
*grinned* "Hey you." *not that she needed it, stuck out like a sore thumb anywhere as it was*

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 9:55:27 PM)
"Hey." Sliding closer and leaning up to kiss him. "Should we grab a table? Or you wanna grab and go?"

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:55:54 PM)
((Sorry))

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 9:56:18 PM)
*kissed her back* "huh, what was the question? oh, yeah, ah. I dont know. We could try grabbing a table. it ..doesnt appear to be that busy.?"

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:56:35 PM)
Oh, I've lived here almost all of my life.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 9:57:14 PM)
"Almost? Where else have you lived?" She rests her elbows on the table and cups her chin in her hands.

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 9:57:31 PM)
"Alright. Let's grab that corner over there." She pointed one out. Little table, big enough for two.

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:58:19 PM)
Well, I was in jail for five years.

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 9:58:23 PM)
*followed her, glancing around as if quickly marking where everyone was*

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 9:58:40 PM)
She blinks at him. "Really? For what?"

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:58:48 PM)
((By the way, wolfies: http://www.squeal-nola.com/ ))

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 9:59:16 PM)
(lol)

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 9:59:17 PM)
Was in the middle of a gang fight.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 9:59:44 PM)
"Wrong place wrong time?" She nods. "That seems rather common, these days."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:00:50 PM)
*to lex* "So ahm, are....hrm. should i just leave planning up to you?"

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:01:08 PM)
Sort of...

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:01:26 PM)
Her brow furrows curiously. "Sort of, how so?"

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:01:26 PM)
What about you? You're not from here, are you?.

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:01:52 PM)
Well, I wasn't completely innocent.

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:02:08 PM)
*she chuckled. "Yeah. I'm thinking really really simple." She took his hand wand walked back to take that table she'd pointed out. Wavng to the waitress as they headed that way too. "Like something real easy here.. just the pack and invite my family.

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:02:31 PM)
*having overheard Jeff, sort of made sure Lex was on the side away from that table, not that it mattered. gave her a look at the word pack* "Okay, well i'll leave it to you then."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:03:00 PM)
"Given that I have enough brothers sisters neices and nephews to complicate anything. Your family is just who I've met?"

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:03:09 PM)
She shakes her head at his question. "No, I am not. I am from a very small town called Medilla."

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:03:58 PM)
"Pretty much. Might be a couple cousins but they don't have to attend." She grinned a bit. "Do you want to call your family to come celebrate with us?"

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:04:15 PM)
Where's that?

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:04:37 PM)
"Columbia." She slides her tea over and sips on it again.

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:05:18 PM)
"Ah..not..really."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:05:37 PM)
"I dont think they would come , even if we did."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:06:02 PM)
"I haven't...spoken to them but once since I left North Carolina."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:07:27 PM)
*Their food is finally brought over and he starts to dig in with an appetite.* Haven't heard of it. How's the place?

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:08:03 PM)
*she nodded. "Then we'll stick to the family that's here and my dad." Smiling at him. "I suppose I should at least get Serenity to come shopping with me. She seems to love weddings."

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:08:14 PM)
Fiddling with her sandwich until she can easily pick it up, she shrugs. "Levelled." Then she takes a large bite, closing her eyes with a small whimper of satisfaction at the flavors.

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:08:15 PM)
"If you can get her away from the baby isle."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:08:37 PM)
*glanced at Lex, seemed, suprized she hadn't questioned the answer to that*

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:09:05 PM)
Oh... *He doesn't quite know how to answer to that, so he keeps eating. He watches her reaction to the food curiously.*

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:10:28 PM)
*she chuckled. "Thats a completely different subject. I get a little lost there myself lately. Lukas' boys are just to cute." When the waitress came up though she did pause her thoughts to order. "Just some sweet tea to drink."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:10:47 PM)
"Ditto." *and to her* "You want kids, dont you?"

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:11:17 PM)
Swallowing finally, she smiles at him. "That is really good. You were right."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:12:48 PM)
*He nods with a nearly imperceptible smile* Glad you're enjoying it. I can tell you are.

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:13:08 PM)
"Someday." Said with a slight shrug. "When we're ready.. if we're ever ready." Smiling as she reached across and caught one of his hands. "I've got a good handful of kids to be super aunt too at the moment. I'm happy with that."

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:13:23 PM)
"Sides.. I can give them back this way."

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:14:30 PM)
Setting her sandwich down, she picks up a fry and nibbles on it briefly. "So, what happened? You said you were not entirely innocent, but I do not see you as the gang type..."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:14:42 PM)
*grinned a little* "I just, I dont think I'd make a good dad. I'd screw 'em up. Royal."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:15:15 PM)
I ain't now. I'm one of the rare cases that actually got fixed by jail I guess. It's where I learned about cars and all.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:18:44 PM)
"That is... surprising." She finishes off her fry and picks up another. "I guess it is cultural, but you do not seem the type who has been to jail, for anything."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:19:01 PM)
*Frowns* I don't?

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:20:40 PM)
"No. Where I am from, most of the people who have been to jail have this... I guess you would say, this aura about them. A way they talk and act that says they are very rough individuals. You seem coarse, but not rough." She smiles faintly, her cheeks flushing, and hurriedly stuffs the fry in her mouth to shut herself up.

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:21:27 PM)
"I think you'd do fine as a dad Tristan.. I mean look, you're practically raising Andy." She was so teasing him.*

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:21:59 PM)
"Andy was already screwed up when I met him. I couldn't possibly do any harm."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:22:24 PM)
Hope more employers thought like you. I had to look for a long time to find a job, finally found Washington.

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:22:39 PM)
"And I've been living with Andy for...a while now over a year and i'm still fixing him? this doesnt speak well of me. Sides, I dont know anything about how to be one. Which, kinda goes back to why we're not inviting Mr and..well Ex Mrs Redgrave.

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:23:56 PM)
*she nodded softly. "I know there's issues there.. we kind of talked about it some when you were first detoxing.." She ran her thumb over the back of his hand. "But you know love, that's part of what would make you a good father.. because you would be set on not being him."

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:25:07 PM)
Finally swallowing, she reaches over and sips on her tea, finishing what is in there and setting it against the edge of the table in a silent notification for the server. "So, where do you live?"

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:25:40 PM)
"......I now feel vaugely less bad about not remembering that conversation happened." *took her hand in his* "I dunknow. Seems like a heck of a world to bring a kid into too..."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:26:09 PM)
"I dont know how I'd ever let a kid out of my sight for thirty seconds. Which..obviously..doing that wouldnt work."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:26:27 PM)
"I mean, never letting them out of sight. that's..not practical. i know that much"

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:27:51 PM)
Right now, I'm using a room behind the shop.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:30:31 PM)
"That must be... difficult. I mean, you are hardly ever away from work." One of the servers comes by and refills her glass with a bright smile. Isabella returns it with a nod of her head and slides the glass back over to where she can reach it before picking up her sandwich. "How do you seperate work from personal time?"

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:31:28 PM)
*she smiled. "Takes alot of trust.. and alot of work ahead. Making sure we got someone we trust to help, teaching them right.. its not easy love but its nothing we have to worry about right now either."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:32:49 PM)
I'm here, ain't I? I just work when I need to, and the rest is personal time. Somedays I got a ton of work to do, somedays it's slow.

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:33:54 PM)
"No, but it's been on my mind. what with all the little ones running around"

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:33:59 PM)
"Watching you with all the little ones"

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:34:39 PM)
"Well, yes, but everyone deserves a chance to not be where they work. If I had to live at the House, I would probably go insane..." She takes a bite of her sandwich, chewing thoughtfully.

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:35:17 PM)
"I hope you don't feel pushed into this conversation Tris.. I know we've talked about it before."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:35:20 PM)
*Frowns a bit* I don't think I follow, really.

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:36:51 PM)
"I..think I brought it up myself?"

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:37:03 PM)
Finishing cewing, she swallows, then picks up her napkin to wipe off a bit of sauce from the corner of her mouth. "There is not much to follow, really. I just think that everyone should have a chance to be away from where they work. And with you working at a garage, it really is not that quiet there, even on your days off."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:37:28 PM)
"And no. I dont think i've changed my mind, but figured I at least owed you an answer better than dodging the question"

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:38:06 PM)
I don't really feel like getting away all that much, I enjoy the work... But when I feel like, I just go away. *He shrugs*

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:39:23 PM)
*she chuckled. "I appreciate it. I really do.. and I'm okay with it. Like I said, I have alot of kids running around that I can enjoy, and give them back when I want too." She smiled. "I'm happy."

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:39:54 PM)
Finishing off the last bite of her sandwich, she grabs a fry and dips it into the bbq sauce on his plate with a cheeky grin. "Next time you feel like going away for a little bit, give me a call. I can show you some places around town that you might have not seen before." She then pops the fry into her mouth and chews, eyes widening in surprise. "Ok, yeah. Should have gotten the bar-b-que."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:41:40 PM)
*Chuckles* Want some of mine? I might have ordered a bit too much.

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:42:24 PM)
*grinned* "Well, then i'll shut up. Also, can I complain bar-b-que is better where I come from?"

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:42:26 PM)
She smiles and shakes her head. "No, I will be lucky to finish what I have. Mateo whines that I do not eat enough, then cheer when I bring London over for dinner." She laughs softly and fiddles with another fry before biting it in half.

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:42:55 PM)
*She giggled. "Yeah. That's allowed.. you know maybe we should do a pig roast."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:43:29 PM)
*Nods* All right then. *At the pace he's going, he's likely to finish all of his food soon, so he might not have been entirely truthful about ordering too much...*

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:43:33 PM)
"if that means i'm allowed to buy the smoker required.." *cooking toys? him? never...*

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:43:54 PM)
"I'll even help buy it if you want."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:44:48 PM)
You don't eat much cause you worry about the figure or something?

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:44:55 PM)
"We'll work out details later but deal."

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:45:21 PM)
*she grinned at that and sipped at her tea. "This has been a really great weekend."

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:45:42 PM)
She laughs outright, shaking her head as she drops the last bite of her fry. Taking a few moments to calm down, she shakes her head. "Oh, good grief, nothing like that. I just do not eat a lot. Never have, really."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:46:46 PM)
*nodded entirely in agreement* "Yeah. It has." *glanced around like he was vaugely wondering if saying that would bring down the end of the world on his head before back to her* "Couldn't have come up with a better one really."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:46:51 PM)
*nom nom noms and nods* Ah, good. Apparently women can be paranoid about that kinda thing.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:47:41 PM)
She smiles with a stray chuckle. "No, where I am from, you eat what you can, and if you leave the table hungry, it is your own fault."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:48:27 PM)
*Smirks* Sounds like my kinda place.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:49:29 PM)
She smiles a bit wistfully. "I think you would have liked my /madre/. She really could cook."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:49:52 PM)
Really? What kinda food?

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:51:30 PM)
"Mostly traditional Columbian foods. But she spent a lot of time with friends in Brazil, so she also did Brazilian bar-b-que a lot. Much to her dismay, I never acquired the ability to cook like that."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:52:56 PM)
Interesting.

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:52:58 PM)
*she smiled at him. "Any plans tonight?"

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:53:02 PM)
"For later I mean."

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 10:53:34 PM)
((afk, gotta fold laundry))

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:53:40 PM)
((kk))

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:54:00 PM)
*shook his head no* "No. For a change."

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:54:24 PM)
"good. I'm totally booking the rest of the night."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:54:31 PM)
"As if you had to."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:54:53 PM)
"You want to head out?" (heh i feel odd we didnt wind up saying hi to the demons. oh well!)

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:56:04 PM)
((I don't look inviting, you got rage 5...))

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:56:13 PM)
((Call it territoriality))

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:56:15 PM)
((yah, not complaining! more apologizing!))

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 10:56:20 PM)
((No worries))

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:56:31 PM)
*she nodded. "I think so. If we get to bed early enough.. I can totally screw with Andy before I go to work."

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:56:56 PM)
*near snorted his tea at the idea* "oh do feel free. he's been ..........over the top lately. he shot a fire work at me!"

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:57:17 PM)
"He needs a good dose of his own." *and stood up after putting enough money on the table for the dinners as well as a fairly hefty tip*

Alexi Rosette (Jul 4, 2011 10:57:57 PM)
*She grinned. "so your cutting me loose?"

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:58:08 PM)
"As long as nobody gets seriously hurt...yes"

Tristan Redgrave (Jul 4, 2011 10:58:16 PM)
"Dont make me regret it is the only rule"

*she giggled. "Deal love." she got up.

*smiled and offered her an arm as he left*

((back. and territoriality? really? *lol*))

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:10:46 PM)
(( ;-) ))

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 11:10:49 PM)
"I could ask Mateo to cook for us one night, if you like. He seems exceptionally good at that, if nothing else." She smiles faintly, pushing away her plate with a small pile of fries on it.

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:10:58 PM)
If nothing else?

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 11:11:35 PM)
"Well, it is not like we are sleeping together. I think he either is gay, or he gave up on that..."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:13:37 PM)
Oh... I see...

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:13:46 PM)
The way you kept talking about him...

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 11:14:43 PM)
She smiles and shakes her head. "No, he is just a very good friend. He has been with me ever since I found out my mother was dead."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:19:20 PM)
Ah, I see. *He nods* So, you said you enjoy running?

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 11:23:33 PM)
She smiles and nods, bringing her glass over to stir the ice again. "I do, yes. It helps me clear my head after a stressful day, and gets rid of some pent up energy."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:25:28 PM)
You were sounding all dangerous last night, though.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 11:26:26 PM)
She shakes her head. "I was extremely frustrated. He got away... which means that he might come back..."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:26:54 PM)
I dunno much about that... So I guess you're right... But shouldn't it be hard for even us to come back?

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 11:28:11 PM)
"All it takes it someone with the right ritual and your name and... at least, theorhetically, they can bring you back."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:28:34 PM)
Do we know who would know that for him?

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 11:30:13 PM)
"No. I assume that the others finished wiping out those that were loyal to him. I know that his right-hand man was destroyed, but did we get everyone?" She shrugs. "Honestly, I do not know."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:31:11 PM)
Well... Hard to be sure about much nowadays.

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:31:19 PM)
Place is all fucked up. *Sounding a bit angry*

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 11:33:00 PM)
She nods with a wry smile. "Yes, it is. And it is really a shame, when one stops to think at what they were given... and what was sacrificed for them."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:39:04 PM)
Well, it wasn't only them who fucked it up, was it?

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 11:39:50 PM)
"Granted... but everything we did, we did out of love. And look at what they have done with our 'love'."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:42:47 PM)
I'm talking about that stupid punishment... After we lost.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 11:44:54 PM)
"I still do not believe that we lost... yes, we were defeated, but that does not mean that we lost." She sips her tea, then clears her throat softly. "My biggest complaint was that there were those of us who took no part in the fighting, who did nothing to warrent it, and yet we were lumped in with the rest... all because we did what we thought he would have wanted. And then that dick, Michael..." She grits her teeth, eyes flashing fury for a moment. "All he had to do was let it go, but, no... he was on a stupid power trip..."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:48:36 PM)
I don't remember that part...

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 11:49:19 PM)
She smiles and reaches out her hand to lay it across his fingers, nails short and blunted. "It is probably best that you do not. Trust me, it is something that I wish I could forget."

Jeff Pines (Jul 4, 2011 11:55:13 PM)
*Nods* Yeah... 'sides, this ain't the place for that.

Isabella Perez (Jul 4, 2011 11:56:04 PM)
She nods in return and withdraws her hand to signal for the server to come with the check. "It is still relatively early. Would you like to head to the park with me, or do you have a curfew?"
