**It's early evening and as the light fades, the warmth of the shop front lights begin to glow and the street lights fliucker into life. The tourists and locals are taking to the streets in the balmy night air and the mood is positive and airy*

Evangelina Rivera (Aug 21, 2011 12:04:20 AM)
::Eva was sitting at a little cafe. Her cafe au lait was almost finished, and she was contemplating another. She also had finished a little plate of those tasty beignets with raspberry sauce, carefully licking her fingers before tapping away at her laptop again. She had on a pair of low-slung jeans, hole in the knees from working, her flip flops were just beneath her, and she was curled in her seat. She had on a fitted lacy tank, and her hair was down, the hair framing her face was a stark emerald green, the rest was a glossy chocolate, going down her back, pleased for the coolness of the evening. Tappity typing away on her computer::

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:07:29 AM)
**The Cafe is alive with quiet conversation. While you sit, people come and go, laugh, exchange jokes and intimacies while the street outside see's stalls being set up while others pack away. New Orleans is a city that can be besy descibed as 'alive**

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:11:13 AM)
**Across from you, a young woman sits by the window. Ordinarliy she wouldn;t have caught you eye though theres something in her demeanor. Maybe its the way she keeps glancing out of the window, or the way she checks her watch. She's dressed so carefully to appear casual, despite the make up and perfectly ciofferd hair*

Evangelina Rivera (Aug 21, 2011 12:12:43 AM)
::she looked up and around at the cafe, a small, pleased little smile on her face, the ambience was happy, and she was comfortable for the moment. She sipped her drink, continuing to work on her database searches for her other other job, for the private eye firm. As she looks up and sips her drink, she watches the girl curiously a moment::

**It's while you're typing on your keyboard that a movement tugs your attention and it's the woman standing to greet her date. He slides in in front of you but from the back, he's average height and and he greets her with a freindly Cajun accent** I'm sorry I'm late, I went to the cafe a few doors down though by your description, you have to be Marie ...Hi, Anthony

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:20:19 AM)
**The man extends a hand and the pair sit's with her and she smiles, her manner all of a sudden coltish and coy. He asks if she's orderded and asks if she would allow him to pay in apology 'I insist up front to avoid awkward bantering later' . She laughs and the two settle in. Though you are working, the can't help but smile at all the first date caution, the leading questions, the careful answers**

Evangelina Rivera (Aug 21, 2011 12:21:31 AM)
::she watches the introduction, shamelessly listening, careful to keep the look on her face neutral, as though not listening. Her fingers kept typing on her laptop, and she nodded to the waitress as she gestured if Eva wanted another one. Eva grins even more, when she remembers how Jeff asked her out, and it cracks a very amused smile, fading a little as she splits her attention between the new couple, and her rote database searches::

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:25:35 AM)
**The waitress smiles as she moves off and over the next half hour, the pair seem to hit it off. Finally, he asks if she'd like a walk along the river. She beams and he stands, tossing a few notes to the table and the two head off**

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:26:42 AM)
**You are almost infuriated that even as you watch the pair walk by the window, the man is on her far side, and you're never able to put a face to the dark haired gent**

Evangelina Rivera (Aug 21, 2011 12:28:56 AM)
::Eva smiles as they head off, thinking that seems much easier than her first date had been, musing on it as she looks to the man's back, pretty sure she'd be able to picture him from the rear, but... she was damn curious about the man's face... even turning to look at them as they passed, just in case the man happened to look back::

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:30:32 AM)
**NO such luck... oh well, just a chance slice into the lives of others. You've always been facinated by people and the strrangeness of being surrounded by so many, yet always knowing so few....Another twenty minutes pass and you're either going to need another coffee or something more substantial. You look about for the waitress and she's at the counter, shaking her head** No sorry, I don't know anyone by that name, I can ask our other waitress ...Hey Debbie, did a Marie Reno come in today?

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:31:38 AM)
**The man asking looks in his mid twenties, very nicely turned out in a dark suit, open with a white dress shirt beneath.**

Evangelina Rivera (Aug 21, 2011 12:33:12 AM)
::she frowns a bit, disappointed and then she is back to work again. Eyeing the remnants of her empty coffee cup and the sugar-dusted empty beignet plate, she's contemplating that little barbecue place closer to home when she hears the name 'Marie'. Granted in a large city like New Orleans, that has a rich French-influenced history, 'Marie' is likely a common name. But... Eva speaks up:: Anthony? ::looking to the man curiously, wondering if Marie eluded Anthony::

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:34:04 AM)
**Debbie looks to the window table, now vacant for a moment, then looks back and jsut shrugs, returning to the coffee she's pouring** I'm sorry sir, we don't take bookings.... On hearing Eva, the man turns and smiles broadly** Marie ? Oh good, I thought I'd missed you

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:34:58 AM)
*he nods to the counter girl and heads over** These blind dates are so awkard aren;t they? When you rang and delayed, I wasnt sure you'd even be hear *he smiles awkwardly*

Evangelina Rivera (Aug 21, 2011 12:36:25 AM)
I.....um... ::she flushes:: not... exactly. My name is Eva... but there was a Marie here earlier... ::gesturing to the seat where they'd been. ::she looks over the man's dress, wondering if it was the same man, and quickly realizing it couldn't have been.:: You'd... never met Marie before?

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:39:32 AM)
**he looks a little crestfallen** oh... er no I haven't. It's.. well *his shoulders sag a little* one of those internet things.. Date roulette.com? We exchanged some posts and we organised to meet here. I gave her my number in case there was any issues and she rang and said she'd be running two hours late... she left already huh? typical

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:40:07 AM)
She seemed nice; genuine... but you can never tell i guess

Evangelina Rivera (Aug 21, 2011 12:41:01 AM)
Your name is Anthony? ::Eva watched the guy and she looks to him, just thinking this sounded odd.:: Did you see a picture of her? And.. she did seem very nice, yes.

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:42:10 AM)
**He smiles** Anthony ... Tony Cobb... *he laughs a little* Don't suppose I can get you a refill could I?

Evangelina Rivera (Aug 21, 2011 12:43:44 AM)
::she smiles a bit:: I've had two already, I'm likely to be up all night. But.... Tony... did you see a picture on her profile, did she have one up? Maybe I can see if it was the right Marie that I met? ::she gestures to her laptop::

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:52:36 AM)
**The slime looks a lot like a gel cap from a pill, though the milky coffee wasn't hot enough to dissolve it completely**

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:54:06 AM)
((further invetigation would reveal that it was due t so much sugar being in the coffee that the drink couldnt absorb anything more)

Evangelina Rivera (Aug 21, 2011 12:56:39 AM)
Here... I'll get it out for you... ::Eva whips a napkin up from her table and sweeps it, the pill and some of the jellied sugar into the napkin, and wads it up, as casually (but securely- as she can, and she flashes a grin to the woman:: There... I have a -ton- of brothers... they usually make things look... icky. ::she moves back to Tony and she sits down:: That does look like the Marie I saw.... do you know if she was talking to anyone else?

Evangelina Rivera (Aug 21, 2011 12:56:50 AM)
(do that Tony and this Tony look similar from the back?)

Legion (Aug 21, 2011 12:58:21 AM)

*With a genuine smile* Thanks *Alex heads over to a table nearest the bathroom that he can still view the window and the other patrons with ease, he rolls his shoulders and stretches his back, he passes a short latina woman and another guy in his early 20's on his way to his table*

Evangelina Rivera (Aug 21, 2011 1:22:01 AM)
Okay... So. I'm at this little cafe in the French Market.. and I watched a woman meet a man, apparently on a blind date. I only got a look at the back of the man's head, and he had a Cajun accent. They talked for a bit, and then he invited her for a walk near the river. I wouldn't think this weird, except 20 minutes later... the -real- Anthony came looking for her. I checked the girl's cup...there was a half-melted pill.. I don't know what kind, but I managed to keep it, in case we need to analyze it.

Evangelina Rivera (Aug 21, 2011 1:23:01 AM)
