*Jeff sits in a cafe, drinking some coffee during the night, and watching a nearby apartment building, carefully.*
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:24:31 PM)
*Other than the careful watching, the big man looks to be in a good mood*
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:26:43 PM)
*Sergei wanders down the streets of New Orleans, his hands in his pockets looking around thoughtfully an amused smile tugging on the edges of his lips. He wears a suit as he tends to most times, this one a bit less formal, but saying less formal about his suits is like saying a bit less rich about trump towers.*
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:27:38 PM)
*Jeff spots Sergei and nods to him in greeting.&*
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:28:54 PM)
*Noticing Jeff he smiles lightly and then moves to sit next to him, pulling out a chair and turning it so the back was infront and he sat in it, he pulls out a ciggarette and gestures in askence if the man minds waiting patiently for an answer.*
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:30:12 PM)
Just don't blow any smoke my way.
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:30:54 PM)
Ahhh well i think i'll wait till later, the wind is a bit of a fickle goddess yes? *he chuckles putting the cigarette into his breast pocket.* So, how are things?
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:31:22 PM)
Doing all right. What about you? Haven't seen much of you lately...
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:32:05 PM)
I've got a little bussiness everywhere, as for me being around...well I have taken sometime to work on some personal and private projects.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:33:28 PM)
Of course.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:33:37 PM)
I've been busy, too.
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:33:51 PM)
Have I missed out on anything terribly interesting?
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:34:47 PM)
*Quiet voice* We're still hunting that lady killer... Got some clues about him.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:35:01 PM)
*He sounds angry, too, when mentioning that guy*

Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:37:13 PM)
Ahhh that, anything hard or is it just more speculation, because i've heard some of that.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:37:53 PM)
Found a weird DVD with what might be some of his history. Also some scrawlings on the wall about timelines and all. And working on finding his cult.
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:39:10 PM)
He has a cult? Hmmm...*He shrugs* that's peculiar he seems different then the odd serial killer Michael delt with when he was around...there was one who murdered women and left them in oddly symbolic places and arrangements...it was...curious.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:41:04 PM)
Oh? Maybe it's the same, I don't know. Did you guys catch the last one?
Evangelina Rivera (Sep 23, 2011 10:41:19 PM)
:;Eva made her way across the street, carrying a brown paper bag, and she walked inside, wearing a short skirt and a tank, with flip flops on. Her hair was down, glossy and dark, going down her back, the stripe of hair surrounding her face was still a deep emerald green, and she moved towards Jeff with a grin::
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:41:28 PM)
No...he went dorment...and technically it was us guy...*he says watching Jeff.*
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:42:02 PM)
I was here back then? Weird, I hadn't heard about it. *Then he smiles seeing Eva* Hey Eva.
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:43:19 PM)
Yes he was around then...killed two or three women, it was a case Michael tried to get a handle on but the guy went dorment before we could do anything...could be the same guy...but this guy seems a bit sloppy and not nearly as...artistic.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:43:56 PM)
Maybe he's just deteriorating. We know he... goes from one host to the next.
Evangelina Rivera (Sep 23, 2011 10:44:41 PM)
::her eyes slide to Sergei, curiously, golden eyes watching him a moment, before she looks back to Jeff:: Hey mijo... brought you something. ::handing him the paperbag as she stands close to him, on the opposite side of Jeff from Sergei::
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:44:53 PM)
That sounds sloppy all together...but *he shrugs* There was no indication then that he was any more then a regular serial killer...
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:46:24 PM)
*Puts an arm around Eva* Wanna sit here with us a little, Eva? This is Sergei... He's... a weirdo like me.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:46:34 PM)
No offense, Sergei. You know what I mean.
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:47:06 PM)
Why would I take offense, I am...strange if anything...*he chuckles*
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:49:00 PM)
*Smirks and nods*
Evangelina Rivera (Sep 23, 2011 10:49:18 PM)
::she nods and slips to sit down with him, putting a hand in his, as she handed him the paper bag::
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:49:32 PM)
*He looks in it*
Evangelina Rivera (Sep 23, 2011 10:49:39 PM)
Nice to meet you, Sergei.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:49:53 PM)
You heard about him before, remember? He was in that list...
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:50:13 PM)
What list?
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:50:29 PM)
I told you about, last time. People were watching us. It's been taken care of.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:50:36 PM)
You were busy with the haiti thing.
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:50:43 PM)
Ahhhh...yes that list...*he chuckles*
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:52:07 PM)
Oooh! Sergei... You don't mind if I eat, do you? They do sell some sandwiches here if you're hungry...
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:52:36 PM)
Nah go on ahead, americans seem to like to eat alot...*he smirks*
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:52:44 PM)
Thanks *He starts to dig into a huge burrito that was in that baggie Eva brought him.*
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 10:55:51 PM)
*He turns so he's sitting in his chair correctly and then lights a cigarette facing away from the other two.*
Evangelina Rivera (Sep 23, 2011 10:58:38 PM)
::she smiles to him and shakes her head:: I figured it was time for a snack, mijo... ::appears to be a homemade carnitas burrito, that looked and smelled divine, she just sipped from a Coke that was in her hand from prior::
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 10:59:57 PM)
I didn't call you last time we met the guy, Sergei, cause it was kinda sudden.
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:00:29 PM)
*Sergei pulls a flask from his suit coat.* Ahh well that's alright, there is always next time right?
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:01:30 PM)
(This user has entered Stakeout Cafe) (IP = 124.185.105.158)
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:01:35 PM)
Yeah. So, how goes that haiti thing?
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:02:02 PM)
It is fixed...all cleaned up...I think it was a work of art but...not many like that sort of thing..*he chuckles taking a pull from his flask.*
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:02:42 PM)
*He smirks* Well, it's art that few people will get to appreciate, right? Maybe it's why a lot won't understand it. *He whisper an explanation to Eva*
Evangelina Rivera (Sep 23, 2011 11:03:51 PM)
::she nodded a bit, and relaxed a little, just watching the two men curiously::
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:04:20 PM)
Perhaps...but in the end, it's cleaned up and that is much better then leaving it ruining the streets of the city, da?
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:04:43 PM)
*This is a normal cafe from where Jeff can stake out a certain apartment building. Right now he's digging into a huge burrito in a paper bag and has some coffee in front of him. Sergei is smoking, Eva drinking a coke.*
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:04:54 PM)
Of course.
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:07:51 PM)
*Paige walks into the little cafe with a long graceful stride, dark blue jeans resting on her hips and a pale blue spagetti strapped top leaving her shoulders and arms bare, a small silver disc glittering faintly against the skin of her chest. Dark hair falling freely down her back she smiles as she steps inside, pausing upon the threshold to look around.*
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:08:12 PM)
(Sorry wasn't lurking, little man was ready to learn the next chord in the songs progression)
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:08:30 PM)
*Sergei sits in a chair actually facing away from the table the rest are sitting at he speaks over his shoudler to them, as he puffs on a cigarette, his suit is less formal then what he would normally wear but it's such a slight varriance it is difficult to see.*
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:11:34 PM)
((Highlander roll time))
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:12:07 PM)
((is that just like instinctual or do you have to have a reason?)
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:12:23 PM)
(Players choice :) )
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:12:44 PM)
((As soon as you actually see another demon for the first time, you can roll reflexively. It doesn't work if they are hiding or anything, or if you've seen them before))
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:13:07 PM)
((but how do you know you're seeing another demon?))
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:13:47 PM)
((You don't until you roll, but OOC you know. Thus the reflexiveness. It's like rolling soak, you don't need to know you were hit, you still get the roll))
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:13:59 PM)
(I failed my awareness roll! I know nothing :) )
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:14:09 PM)
*Frowns as he spots Paige walking in*
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:14:17 PM)
((what is the roll then?))
Evangelina Rivera (Sep 23, 2011 11:15:49 PM)
(it's like spidey sense)

Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:18:07 PM)
((aww i failed too..))
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:19:07 PM)
*Her eyes falling on the little trio she notices the man who had helped her with the flat tire a few weeks back and starts towards the table before his companions frown is noticed with a curious gaze. Shaking her head a little in responce, realising that she'd taken a few too many steps towards them to turn back now she pushes on, finally coming to a stop before Sergei.* Hi there, we meet again.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:19:51 PM)
You two have met? *He seems to relax a little bit*
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:21:01 PM)
*He smiles* Hello, how is your tire going?
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:22:21 PM)
Briefly. *She smiles over to Jeff , the curiosity still in her eyes.* He performed a great rescue, or took up a challenge to his manhood, I'm still not entirely sure which. *The smile relaxing into a more natural expression she speaks with the softly lilting accent of an Irish heritage nearly entirely forgotten.* We're both doing well, we've decided that since we met under such interesting circumstances we should stick together for as long as possible.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:25:20 PM)
I see. Have you been long in the city?
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:26:42 PM)
*Her eyes moving back to Jeff she watches him with that same questioning smile, feeling somewhat under interrogation, the idea of such bringing a faint gleam of humour to her eyes.* I've been based here for some time. Years in fact, you?
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:26:53 PM)
Ahhh, well it sounds like a match made in heaven, it is rare that such an auspicious meeting ends in tragedy.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:27:44 PM)
In a way, much less time.
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:29:41 PM)
*Chuckling she nods to Sergei.* Indeed only the recalcitrant tire and I have decided to part ways, it was a bitter little breakup but I'm trying to put it behind me? *Still standing by the table, her dark humour filled gaze flicks down to Jeff unable to shake the feeling that the man dissaproved of her greatly for some unknown reason.* In a way? Spiritually, mentally or physically?
Evangelina Rivera (Sep 23, 2011 11:29:52 PM)
::Eva just sips her Coke, watching the three Elohim with a faintly amused smile on her lips::
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:31:23 PM)
*Suddenly as though something had slipped into his mind, he absently begins to tap his foot to a beat only he can hear.*
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:31:57 PM)
Spiritually, you could say. What about you?
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:32:49 PM)
Me? *She smiles her head canting a little to the side as she hooks a thumb through the belt loop of her jeans.* I like to avoid deep discussions until after I have had caffine.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:33:04 PM)
Then please join us and have some.
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:33:51 PM)
*She smiles and gives up on Sergei introducing her, instead taking a seat and offering her hand to the man who so sternly frowned at her.* Thanks, I'm Paige by the way.
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:33:54 PM)
*Sergei suddenly stands oddly and looks to Paige, a strange look slipping across his features.* Miss would you mind a small dance? I have just had a lovely song slip into my head...I know it is a strange request here in a cafe but....would you humor a lowly salesman of odd exotic items?
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:35:09 PM)
Nice to meet you, I hope, Paige. I'm Jeff. *He shakes her hand firmly in his big one, without hesitation.*
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:36:32 PM)
*Returning the shake with a light grip she opens her mouth to repeat the introduction towards Evangeline when Sergei's strange request assails her senses. Looking to him quite openly perplexed she laughs softly as she shakes her head, the dark hair spilling forwards over her shoulders with the gesture.* Sure, why not. I owe you one after all right?
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:37:22 PM)
If you wish to feel so beholden, I like to think it is the rhythm of this wonderful city slipping through me...It is so lively yes? *He chuckles bowing lightly offering a hand.*
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:38:19 PM)
*Taking his hand she stands up with a smile.* Lively enough so that I'm about to dance badly to no music in the middle of a cafe.
Evangelina Rivera (Sep 23, 2011 11:39:33 PM)
::Eva watches with a faint grin, raising a brow, and just relaxing back in her seat, watching the other two, remaining close to Jeff on a constant basis::
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:39:45 PM)
*He smiles drawing her to him, slowly almost testingly and then taking her other hand as he begins to dance lightly* If it makes you feel better i'm not truely a good dancer at all....but there is a party where ever the pulse of the world strikes you...if you miss it then there is something lost to you, that I can only pity...perhaps a harsh opinion but...if you don't live what is life for?
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:40:52 PM)
*He eyes Eva and says quietly* I should have thought of asking you to dance to no music... Sounds nice... But now it'll just sound like a copycat.
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:41:31 PM)
*Chuckling she gives up on the idea of hearing the silent music, instead letting Sergei lead her, at least until such time as impatient wait staff tell them to sit down. Fairly certain now that her dance partner is at least a little high she looks into his eyes, the good nature humour continuing to dance in her own.* I think the ability to be able to act in any given moment precisely how you wish to act is a gift.
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:42:34 PM)
Mimicry is just a compliment and to say it was my idea would be cruel, I once knew someone who was a fantastic muse...but she is gone now, and all i have is what she left with me and now here we are, *he dances to a fairly festive rhythm*
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:43:32 PM)
Delightful music in my veins and a beauty to dance to a rhythm only i can hear...as for gifts, I think the pulse of the world is something we must hear...or it is a waste of the life we have been given, yes?
Evangelina Rivera (Sep 23, 2011 11:44:06 PM)
::she grins to Jeff:: You would... but we can go dance -to- music later...
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:44:55 PM)
*Smiles* Sounds like a plan.
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:46:40 PM)
It seems like a lot is wasted in life. *She smiles as she continues to dance with Sergei, at least as best as she can, her natural grace helping a little where skill was lacking.* Perhaps that makes grasping at moments more meaninful.
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:48:21 PM)
*Sergei only grins, his eyes meeting Paiges as he begins to step around the walking space his feet seeming to move of their own accord his body seeming to follow in course. It is as though he were possessed by something even he couldn't slow or even control, his smile mischievious as they draw closer.* Perhaps but i've seen the ending it's not as fun as they say...so these little moments are the savior of the wayward soul...welcome to salvation miss Paige, it is more fun then you thought, Da? *he laughs, it is a full and rich sound rolling from him like smoke from a great and ancient creature from myth.*
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:50:20 PM)
*Curious now her head titlts to the side once more, one hand still clasped in his as her other lays resting lightly upon his shoulder. The smile remaining upon her lips she follows him without tripping too badly, at least she manages to avoid getting tangled in the random chairs left half out from tables.* You've seen the ending? Are we all doomed and damned then? It seems a shame to insert such a gloomy thought into a pretty moment.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:51:54 PM)
*He asks Eva* Maybe we should go and have that dance now?
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:52:55 PM)
Ahh I meant my own end, Not sure how everyone else goes...*he laughs.* Beauty is your company and that they are enthusiastic despite my terrible dancing.
Evangelina Rivera (Sep 23, 2011 11:53:27 PM)
::she nods:: Want to head back?
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:53:53 PM)
Sure. I'll talk to the girl later.
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:54:06 PM)
Ohh I see. *She smiles at that with a little nod.* Only you are doomed then? At least that leaves some hope for the rest of us.
Evangelina Rivera (Sep 23, 2011 11:54:53 PM)
::she nods to him and slips up from her chair, tossing her empty Coke::
Sergei Alenikov (Sep 23, 2011 11:55:46 PM)
Doomed is such a harsh idea, but in that knowledge i am free to do as i please with whatever time I have, yes? Of course and the company i keep and the time i have with them is what matters...*His hand having slipped to her side as he dances for another few moments then stops.* Ahhh and there it goes, Let me get you a meal Mister Pines says the food here is delightful.
Jeff Pines (Sep 23, 2011 11:55:53 PM)
*He leaves some money on the table for his coffee, and a plain card with his telephone number near where paige sat. He doesn't even realize that could look wrong before he walks away with Eva*
Paige Villawood (Sep 23, 2011 11:57:10 PM)
*She smiles as he stops, never having heard the silent music. Releasing his hand she nevertheless taps him lightly on the shoulder and points towards the door.* Speaking of the company you keep, I think they are leaving without you.
