::the motorcycle pulls up in front of the cafe, and the tall, slender rider sits for a moment, waiting for the other to park as well. Dressed in black, skin-tight, riding leathers (not Harley type, think more racing ones), complete with black boots. A backpack on her back, and she kills the engine. Pulling off her gloves and putting them in the backpack, she goes for the helmet next, a view of glossy blood-red nails as she takes off the black helmet, laughing happily. Speaking in a rich, thick French accent (not Cajun):: Oh, that was beautiful! I haven't ridden in ages... I missed going that fast. What of you, cher?

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 3:29:08 PM)
*James makes his way into the cafe on a late day break, dressed in a pair of black pants and a plain black shirt. He had both badge and gun clipped to his belt. Making his way towards the counter, leaving his charger parked outside.*

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 3:30:10 PM)
*parks the crotchrocket beside Luci's, tugging her helmet free to let the wild mass of dark hair escape and drape down her back, running a hand through the unruly waves and immediately turning to the other leather-clad figure beside her* You forget, I ain't the one been gone. *wrinkling her nose* And sugah..I lost anotha hair tie. You got a spare? *looking around on the ground where she parked to see if the scuffle with the helmet dropped it somewhere easy to find, leaning forward as she dismounts and drops the brainbucket on the throttle, tugging her zipper down to loosen its grip on her chest* I swear this helmet eats em..

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 3:33:19 PM)
::she laughs softly:: Your hair is wild, hun... and oui, I do.. ::revealing glossy, artfully done curls, slightly mussed by the helmet, she ran her hands through her own, fixing it with a few finger movements, and reaching to hand Lina her own hair tie.:: I don't need it for now, cher. You take it... ::she laughs and using long legs climbs off the bike easily. She stretches a bit and looks around, eyes sparkling:: I'm never going to hear the end of it, if I tell you I want to share beignets, am I? ::putting the helmet down on the bike, clipping it on tight, and she lowers the zipper of the tight jacket, revealing a tight green tank top::

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 3:36:08 PM)
*He looked back towards the front of the store towards the two women who had pulled up on motorcycles as he ordered himself his coffee, and a sweet treat, yay for cop food. His stormy eyes studied them silently while he waited* Hmm this could be an interesting trip to the cafe..

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 3:37:11 PM)
*accepting it with an air kiss in Luci's direction, she gathers up the ends and binds only the last six inches or so of her hair..little wonder the things keep falling out* I still don't see why I couldn't have just made em at the house? *rolling her eyes as if this conversation is nothing new, the V of her unzipped jacket reveals a mass of antique gold coins on a necklace hanging above a bone cross* We gettin hot coffee or cold?

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 3:39:56 PM)
::she grins and winks to Lina, stretching a bit more as she eyes her hair:: We are going to have a talk about that... you have done nothing with it since I was gone, cher.. And you could... but I wanted coffee and a ride... it's been days, cher. -Days-.. since I rode. ::mock pout on plump lips, that easily turned into a grin:: Cold... this leather makes me hot. ::grinning at the double meaning and she starts to head in:: And I have to go back on duty in a few days. I called Captain and told him... he seemed to think CSI division would get louder and flashier when I told him... ::shaking her head:: I can't imagine why... ::starting to move inside, hips swaying easily as she did::

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 3:43:57 PM)
*He arched a brow watching the two well developed and beautiful women. He grinned to himself collecting his cup and his playe and started moving over towards a table, giving the two a polite nod as he moved by them and set his things down onto a table, slipping into his seat*

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 3:44:14 PM)
*the shorter dark one follows her blonde friend into the shop..and if Luci's hips sway, Lina's swing like the full brass band. What Lina lacks in elegance and grace, she makes up for in curvature. The pair like a matched set, utterly different and perfectly agreeable* Days..since you found an excuse to ride the bike..or since you been ogled in black leather, sugah? *laughter sparkling in her gaze, she catches the door behind Luci and heads for the counter* And what's wrong with CSI havin a little fun? I can't keep em all entertained all the time..

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 3:48:02 PM)
::they move in concert, with familiarity, and she grins to her friend:: Both, oui? ::winking, with a devilish grin, then mock-sighing:: And since I've been back... nothing. I need to let the harem know I am back, oui? I have a few dresses I need to test... ::steepling fingers in glee as she saunters to the counter. Green eyes catch James' and she looks him over, nodding politely with a flash of a grin, as she laughs softly:: No.. and we're so much more fun together. They've had it easy the past few months... now we get them in line again.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 3:48:03 PM)
Afternoon James. *nodding his way with a smile, the swamp witch remembering the agent from a street in the Quarter once upon a time*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 3:48:32 PM)
Oh... we know him? ::eyes going back to Lina, then James, looking him over again, then back to Lina, eyebrow raising::

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 3:49:28 PM)
I know.. *to Luci* They never remember to check the food when it's -you- passin it out. Yes..He's DEA, but that's ..not the circle I know him from. *dark glance to her friend to lay the implication out neatly*

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 3:50:51 PM)
Afternoon Lina, its been awhile *He smiled and nodded to her, as he leaned back in his seat relaxed.* Ahh, ATF now actually, just transferred recently to get a change of scenery, still at the federal building though.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 3:51:52 PM)
That it has.. you been keepin well? ATF? Ahh congratulations then. *her warmth easy and amicable* Been busy, it seems.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 3:52:12 PM)
Good to see you hven't run off somewhere..seems so many faces have.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 3:52:47 PM)
::she winks to her:: I can't help it, I have such an innocent face, non? ::turning her cheeks this way and that as though showing off high cheekbones:: Oh DEA, oui... Oh. Oui. ::eyes looking over James once more, curiously, as her eyes look to the man at the counter:: Michael! I would like a vanilla latte, merci... and Lina and I are sharing a plate of... Oui. ::she flashes a flirtatious grin at the man behind the counter:: Lina wants her usual cold one too... Merci! ::she tipped generously, before even getting the order, and paid after slipping a slim wallet from her jacket and she turned to look to James, just giving him the once over, casually:: ATF.. ah.

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 3:56:02 PM)
Yes, Ive done the best jobs in the DEA, even worked foreign affairs, its time for something new, gun runners and terrorists and all kinds of new things to track down *He chuckled lightly looking over the two women with his dark stormy eyes, those streaks of sky blue through them giving them that awe inspiring angelic quality*

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 3:56:10 PM)
*Luci gets a look* You didn't have to get that.. I'd have split it with you.. I ai't -that- poor, sugah. Or have you been pent up? There were enough bags when you got back..I figured you'd be spent out by now. *she turns long enough to give Michael a fingerwiggle'd greeting and a grin, turning her attention to James as they wait for the order to come up*

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 3:57:25 PM)
Mm..haven't had to deal with that yet. CSI is never boring. Oh lookit me, bein rude as hell. James, this is Luci, my office-mate back at the department. Luci, meet James.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 3:58:55 PM)
Foreign affairs, oui? What kind? ::perking up slightly, she watched him still and then looked to Lina, eyeing her:: You get me next time, no? That's how we do this... you forget while I was gone? And the bags.. were gifts... ::she smiles slowly:: I'm -never- spent out... ::Michael was pleased to see both women, and slid their coffees over, fresh beignets forthcoming, and she smiled to James, with a wink, offering her hand. Long fingers, nails that glossy blood red color:: A pleasure to meet you, James... and I have to agree with Lina.. CSI is so awesome.

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 4:00:26 PM)
*He stood smoothly and moved towards them offering a hand to the woman giving a warm smile* Pleasure to meet you Luci. an I bet its interesting being a CSI, dont think I could do it though. *He glanced back to Luci* I was assigned for awhile to a team tracking down the heads of cartels in Bogota Colombia.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:03:30 PM)
::she smiles, shaking his hand warmly, firmly:: It's always interesting, and I go to work with my sister every day... what could be better? ::she nods to Lina, grinning, then looking back:: Ahh, I have not been to South America yet...

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:05:18 PM)
*picking up her iced coffee while Luci does the social thing..she indulges, taking in the aroma with her eyes drifting shut, before trying a sip and smiling beatifically. Her dark chocolate gaze falling back on Michael, she compliments the barrista* You got a gift sugah.. and the cinnamon works out just right, I'm glad you trusted me on it. *blowing a kiss to Michael* Well done good sir. *gathering the beignets and the little squeeze bear of honey in a habitual (if graceless) juggle on her way to the table beside the one James had been sitting beside*

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 4:06:42 PM)
Trust me, its not all its cracked up to be at least from my own experiences, but then I didnt part ways with the country on the best of terms *He chuckled lightly as he moved over to pull out the chairs at the table for the two ladies as they got their things*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:07:31 PM)
::Luci grins to Lina and she takes her vanilla latte, blowing Michael the barista a kiss, and she winks to him:: I don't suppose I can have a little raspberry jam to go with it? ::the man was already holding out a plastic container... oh yes, the ladies were regulars:: You just know me, don't you? ::winking and then heading to follow Lina, one finger dipping in the raspberry to taste:: Merde, I missed this sauce... ::she moved to sit down, nodding politely to James as she sat, crossing long legs:: Mmm honey.. you read my mind, cher..

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:09:34 PM)
(three of us at a table with coffee and beignets)

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 4:12:02 PM)
*Casey walked up the block from her tattoo studio, Body Design, and headed inside the cafe. Today she wore a tight little baby tee with the logo of her tattoo studio, a leather skirt that came to just above her knees, heels, and a spiked collar. She was craving sugary beignets something fierce and nearly walked past their table when she stopped and looked over at James.* Hey James, sup? Been awhile man. *Her nose twitched a bit as she smelled the coffee and fried dough goodness.*

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 4:13:43 PM)
*He returned the polite nod and moved to sit back in his seat leaning as he looked over the pair of them* So how are things in the NOPD these days, I havent been by those offices in awhile, while getting settled in to my new job.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:15:17 PM)
::Luci shrugs, and dips long fingers for the little dough, almost melting as she eyes it with somethin akin to love as she dips it in raspberry sauce:: I have no idea, cher. I've been on hiatus for a few months to take care of my father. I just got back a few days ago.. ::then taking a bite, and her eyes roll up, and she's quiet as she chews, murmuring softly in French... at the beignet::

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:15:42 PM)
Thankya James.. *smiling as the gent pulled her chair for her, settling herself and putting the pile of drink/pastries/ honey onto the table and begins an artful drizzle of honey over the plate almost lazily* Been quiet honestly.. nothing more major than the occasional lust with bullets.. One or two gang run-ins.. 9th ward's always a stew.. *she shrugs as much as the performance cycle jacket allows, and takes a beignet for herself once she's done* ((Sorry, had to run afk a sec to get the kids toys out of the yard))

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:16:58 PM)
I go back on Monday... Captain is all excited... ::grinning mischeivously::

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:18:16 PM)
*glancing up to Casey's arrival curiously, Lina not immediately recalling her*

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 4:20:42 PM)
*He nodded slightly* Yea my work hasnt exactly been super exciting itself either, actually the most exciting thing to happen since arriving in the city, was taking care of someone whom had been stalking a friend of mine. *He chuckled his glance flicking over to casey and he nodded to her with a smile* Hey there Casey. *Spoken before looking to the conversation once more infront of him.*

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 4:21:54 PM)
*She smiled a bit at the trio, Lina seeming familiar but fuck if she could recall where from. * So how's shit been James?

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:22:32 PM)
::she tilts her head:: There are quite a few crazies in this town... ::she leaned forward, looking for a honey-coated beignet to make sweet sweet love to all over again:: Lina... we might have to make these for dinner... ::said softly::

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:23:12 PM)
I'm not sure what he thinks will happen with your return..*looking to Luci* Did we schedule any major crimes? *laughing a bit and taking a bite of the pastry, sliding the plate back toward Luci* Mm..that's a shame.. I had a crab pot goin..

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:24:14 PM)
Just think of all them poor sweet leggy things, goin sour in the fridge.. *as if telling the tale of the tragedy of their time*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:26:10 PM)
::she laughs:: I think he thinks that with the two of us.... all hell breaks loose and the city goes to ruin... ::she took another beignet, passing it back, and coating the honey-covered lump... with raspberry sauce:: Ooooh, crab? Really... I love that crab... ::almost-wistfully...:: You know... I have maintained my weight with -no- working out at home... I'm back to the gym again, woman. ::grinning, but she doesn't look even remotely sorry::

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 4:26:33 PM)
I s'pose I'm interrupting. I'm good at that I guess. Guess I'll leave you to it.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:27:26 PM)
::she looks up and blinks to Casey, never having seen the woman before, but she smiles in a friendly way::

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:28:16 PM)
Not at all sugah.. *looking to Casey* I know I've seen you with Jacqui once upon a time..but I am absolutely drawin a blank on your name.. *looking chagrined*

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 4:29:03 PM)
Goin alright, how you been Casey, by the way everyone, this is Casey, Casey this is Lina and Luci. *He blinked abit as he shook his head regaining his focus and concentration. Looking between the three women slowly with a small smile*

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:30:12 PM)
Casey. *nodding with a smile* That was it. It's good to see you again..won't you join us? I'm sure between the two tables we got here, there's room for one lil ol chair..

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:30:16 PM)
::she gives a wave, another bite of sugary goodness in her mouth, chewing and then smiling:: Hello, Casey, a pleasure to meet you. ::she speaks with a genuine French accent... not Cajun or Cajun French::

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 4:32:13 PM)
I thought I might know ya Lina. Nice to meetya Luci. *The socially awkward Rabisu took a seat finally, crossing her legs.* I just didn't wanna be a 5th wheel, or...a 4th wheel in this instance I guess.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:33:08 PM)
::Luci grins:: No wheels, we're all just sliding through.. ::taking a sip of her coffee::

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:34:45 PM)
Wasn't exactly a planned meetin, just ran into James here on the way to caffeine and pastry. *she grins and takes another bite of hers as she recalls it*

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 4:35:23 PM)
Ah cool cool. Good to hear. So uh, you guys know London?

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:35:57 PM)
*tilts her head* No I can't say I do.. Should I? *implying a bit more than the usual with the question*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:37:03 PM)
::she raises a brow, curious, but says nothing, time for another beignet, and one magically appears in her fingers. Licking the honey off after it disappeared::

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 4:38:06 PM)
Its a city in England isnt it? *He arched a brow and smirked slightly looking up at Casey before he looked back down picking up his coffee*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:38:20 PM)
::she smiles:: That's about all I know...

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:38:25 PM)
Lovely shopping.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 4:39:14 PM)
*she chuckles* London is an interesting gal I met last night...

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 4:39:56 PM)
She's new in town.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:39:58 PM)
*snorts and elbows Luci with a grin at that, settling back and finishing off her first of the delectable little things..as Luci polishes her third.* Dang girl..you really Are gonna be in the gym overnight.. *snagging a second*

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 4:40:42 PM)
Anyway I'm starving I need to go get some beignets for myself. I'll be back in a flash.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:41:05 PM)
::Luci blushes but looks to LIna, nudging her back as she gets raspberry sauce off another finger:: It's been -months-. And I've been good... I can't behave -all- the time. You and your damn high expectations of me... ::muttering good naturedly::

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:42:12 PM)
Oh yeah. Me an my high expectations. Like I expect you'll have another one. *laughing* Jus leave room for the crab.

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 4:42:47 PM)
*He sipped at his coffee and leaned back in his seat the front legs of his chair lifting up off the ground slightly as he looked across at the two as they bantered back and forth. Smirking slightly to himself for the moment*

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 4:44:59 PM)
*She went to the counter and shortly after came back with her coffee and four beignets, knowing she was about to make a fool of herself when she ate. She tried to control herself and have better table manners, but she was just completely inept when it came to table and food ettiquette.*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:45:16 PM)
::she grins:: I'm so pleased you expect such, I hate to disappoint you so, cherie... ::fingers selecting a last one, pushing the dish to Lina for her to finish, as she dips it in raspberry sauce:: Oh... no worries. As long as I'm not wearing this... ::gesturing to her riding leathers:: I'll have plenty of room... mmm crab. I know better then to come to the dinner table full... ::and dipping the beignet in the raspberry sauce, and happily nomming:

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:48:13 PM)
*laughs easily* Damn right you do, had to break you of that habit the hard way back in school.. *looking over to James curiously* You been real quiet over there.. should I ask where those wheel's are headin?

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 4:48:20 PM)
*Casey began eating...and although she wasn;t her usual ravenous self making an epicly large mess, she got sugar all over her mouth and hands, on her t-shirt and her leather skirt.*

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 4:49:21 PM)
*He chuckled softly as he watched the pair going back and forth his coffee in his hand he sipped lightly* What wheels Im just sitting over here admiring the view and being amused by the conversation *He gave another chuckle as he looked at Lina specifically for the moment*

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:50:52 PM)
*and the local girl has to intercede on Casey's behalf* Oh sugah.. here sweetie.. *lifting her own beignet to demonstrate* Tilt it so your next bite is at the top, an tap the end on the plate's edge.. knocks the extra away from your mouth b'fore you get there.. *handing Casey a napkin amicably, not making a huge deal of it* You gotta grow up 'round here to find out the tricks. *winking*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:51:36 PM)
That.. was such a hard habit to break. I ate better than any college student in the history of students... ::she grins and licked her fingers of the sugar, happily:: Mmm, so. much. sugar. ::she grins to Lina and then to Casey:: She had to teach me too... I was a total noob.

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 4:53:36 PM)
So, *He thought to change the subject abit away from food and ettiquete, he spoke up* What made you two decide to get into crime scene investigations?

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:53:50 PM)
I swear..the things they dont' put in the guide books.. You didn't have a cue where to get good crawdads either.. Hopeless. *mock-huffing to Luci before her chocolate gaze returns to James* Extra credit.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:53:59 PM)
*thumbs at Luci* She dragged me along.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 4:54:07 PM)
*Casey began to blush.* Oh um well...I tend to get food all over me no matter what I eat. I'm a very messy eater. *She sighed feeling foolish, she just couldn't break those animalistic habits no matter how hard her friends tried to teach her.*

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:55:34 PM)
*to Casey* Oh if that's al it is, dig in! There's always a sink around somewhere. *grins*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:55:36 PM)
::she grins to Casey:: You haven't seen crab night at our house... it's a feeding frenzy. ::looking to Lina with a grin:: Oh... sure. You -always- blame me... ::looking to James though:: Oui, it was extra credit... I had to go for the nursing program... and... I dragged her along. We ended up liking it, we both switched majors... graduated together. ::she gins::

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:56:42 PM)
Or peel an eat shrimp.. *nodding to Luci's comment* Just a big ol bucket on the newsprint covered table an a whole mess of papertowels.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 4:56:55 PM)
Crab night sounds delicious. I don't have anyone to cook for me though.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:57:55 PM)
We eat outside on those nights.. ::she grins and looks to Lina:: She's the only reason I remember to eat most days... she even packs our lunch.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:57:57 PM)
Gimme some warnin, sugah, and you can come over to try it. Or swing by on a friday night and join the neighborhood in te back yard.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 4:58:10 PM)
*the last to Casey*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 4:58:20 PM)
Are we doing gumbo night this Friday? ::looking obscenely excited::

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 4:58:29 PM)
Well, that explains it alot more than just extra credit. *He laughed lightly setting aside his cup as he continued leaning back against the chair he sat in, he had a slight gleam in his stormy eyes as he watched the ladies*

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 4:59:39 PM)
*Casey began tearing into the beignets in a more animalistic way, more restrained than the usual way she ate, but people were looking and commenting as she got sugar all over her, some even got in her multicolored dreads. With a mouth full of food she looked up at Lina and spoke as if she didn't know it was rude to do so with a full mouth* I'd love to come over sometime. I -love- food and homecooked meals are the best...but I got no one to make any for me really.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:01:16 PM)
Friday night, my back yard is the neighborhood restaurant. So you see the sign out, you can just come on back. *she chuckles and looks back to Luci, calculatingly* Mmm.. I'll think about it. *loftily* Reason I should make it gumbo night?

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:02:17 PM)
I appreciate that. I just hope no one laughs at me cuz of the way I eat an' stuff. Like people starin' right now...

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:03:08 PM)
Because I love you, and you've missed me, and you think I'm too thin... and... and I'll keep you plied with margaritas while you do it. And set the table. And buy the ingredients. ::she grins::

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 5:05:33 PM)
You really like gumbo dont you, though that sounds interesting seeing you two plied with margaritas, sounds rather, entertaining *He gave a soft chuckle*

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:05:56 PM)
*Seeing Lina and Luci dredged up memories of her host. The woman Casey loved, how they bantered back and forth just like that, the hospitals,she pushed those thoughts out, it was weak to give into it and mourn the loss of a woman she, Cedron, had never actually known, these were just residual memories afterall.*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:07:13 PM)
I like -her- gumbo, James. She adds the right spices.. makes it perfect. My palate has been spoiled by her, she's been feeding me for years. ::she smiles:: And margaritas are a daily after-work thing... ::winking a bit::

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:07:25 PM)
*waves a hand, looking to Casey and dismissing the onlookers without giving a glance* Ignore em. They've got better things to do really anyway. *smiles* And no, the neighbors don't much care. *eyeing Luci next* ..And the dishes..? *before shooting James a smirk and a hooded gaze* Tsk Tsk.. You know, we don't drink alone. Best hope you could keep up.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:09:08 PM)
::she rolls her eyes:: And the kitchen... yes. I will clean the kitchen. Lucky for you, I'm cleaning as you go...and you aren't messy when you do it. ::she winks to Lina and takes a sip of her iced coffee, happily full of sugary treats, recrossing long legs as she leaned back in her seat:: I don't think most can keep up, Li...

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 5:09:27 PM)
I have a feeling I can pretty much drink you two under the table and then some perhaps *He gave a smirk across the table at Lina meeting that hooded gaze with that grin still and a twitch of his brow as he leaned forward against the table, his chairs legs all touching the floor again*

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:10:32 PM)
It sounds really nice at your house...

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:10:34 PM)
But not my gumbo pot. That's mine alone. *cautioning Luci needlessly before looking back to James* 6 feet deep, no doubt. Cheater. *laughter in her dark eyes, though the smirk resurfaces*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:11:50 PM)
::putting both hands up as though not refuting that point:: I know... I know... I've -never- touched the pot. I know the rules, cher. Have you chasing me through the house with that giant wooden spoon... ::her eyes look to James, studying him again, quietly:

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:12:22 PM)
Lina, you're a chef? Or just cook as a hobby?

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 5:13:45 PM)
*He chuckled* Hey its not cheating when its natural born ability there miss Lina *He turned his gaze then to Luci and grinned as he met her eyes and gave her a wink*

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:13:47 PM)
Oh not a chef..no. Was a time I might have though about it.. *slowly turning back to Casey as the "dare" leaves her expression in favor of an easy smile* But now the only thing I claim professionally is a lab table at the precinct. Cooking is just what I do.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:15:33 PM)
*aside to Luci..though she makes no attempt to lower her voice* Men and their Natural Abilities. I swear, if they ever figure out what women look for is Experience and Practice, the world gon' spin the otha way for a whole month.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:15:40 PM)
I love food, but I don't know what I'm doing in the kitchen besides like easy stuff. I mostly microwave my meals. Cooking seems like it'd be fun though.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:17:17 PM)
::she smiles right back, eyes amused as she looked to his, and then said aside to Lina, casually:: Oh oui... but... they haven't figured it out yet. We're quite safe, cher... ::her tone playful, amused:: He makes quite the boast about his abilities, non?

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:17:30 PM)
*she winces* Microwave? Oo sugah, first rule of cookin. Throw that Devil-Box out your kitchen.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:18:02 PM)
::she grins:: I don't think we have one anymore.... it's disappeared in the last few months. ::musing as she eyes Lina::

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:18:10 PM)
*drily quipping* Don't they all?

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:18:22 PM)
That's why I stopped buying them, cher.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:18:43 PM)
And yes.. the Devil Box was donated to the first metal recycling truck that goes by lookin for cans.

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 5:19:26 PM)
Now experience is not something one needs for something like drinking, thats something where talent will suffice *He chuckled* You want to discuss experience and practice... Hmm It would just be me talking up a game to tell you Ive got both, but, now I can always prove it if you really wanted *He leaned back once again in his seat*

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:19:37 PM)
((brbr))

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:20:39 PM)
I -knew- it... I should've hidden it before I left. ::she looks to James, smiling, amused:: Mmm, talking... men are good at talking. But... walking... it's hard to walk the line as well.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:21:00 PM)
Mmm There it is..he's hit on it. *turning to Luci and stressing the two words in order* -If..We- really wanted.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:21:11 PM)
Well I'd use the stove or oven...but I don't know what I'm doing.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:22:14 PM)
*aside then to Casey* Sugah, if you knew what the microwave did to your poor foodstuffs.. you wouldn't eat it. *winking*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:22:45 PM)
::she shrugs:: This is one of those things, cher.... ::watching Lina::

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 5:22:55 PM)
*He chuckled lightly as he looked across the table at the two* Cooking is simple once you get the basics of it, and quite enjoyable.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:24:54 PM)
I don't doubt that James. I'd like to learn. I tried watching cooking shows but they don't really do beginner stuff and all I did was make a huge mess.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:24:57 PM)
::she smiles:: I don't cook... I eat. then wash up. So I always need someone that can feed me...

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:25:22 PM)
::she smiles to Casey:: If you ask nicely, Li may teach you. She's damn good at it...

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:26:43 PM)
Well, I'd really like that, but um...I don't want to inconveience Lina.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:29:03 PM)
It's up to her, sug... worse comes to worse, we can find you a beginner's cookbook... and I can help you ... read directions. Since you don't want me actually doing any of it...

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:29:54 PM)
It's no inconvenience. *chuckling* Luci will clean up after us. *earning cheery revenge against the girl who volunteered her* Only rules are, you gotta bring what you wanna cook, and no matter how it turns out, you gotta eat it.. I can't afford to provide raw materials.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:30:44 PM)
::Luci's eyes go wide as she was "volunteered":: Hey now.... ::grinning:: Brat...

James Laurence (May 4, 2011 5:31:01 PM)
(I need to vanish for abit, to finish making supper speaking of all this cooking)

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:32:07 PM)
*She smiled at both women and nodded her head to Lina.* That sounds like a deal to me. That's real nice of you both. I'm not used to people always bein' so friendly with me. I think a lotta people think I'm a weirdo or somethin'.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:32:35 PM)
Why? *asked without a hint of humor, pure curiousity*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:32:53 PM)
::Luci also looks curious, still casually relaxed in her chair::

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:33:27 PM)
I guess just how I look and carry myself. A vibe a I give off. I dunno.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:33:57 PM)
((remove that pesky extraneous A. lol))

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:35:14 PM)
(damn those As! ::shakes fist:: )

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:35:35 PM)
Oh I don't know.. *smiles blithely* I've seen worse.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:38:33 PM)
::she shrugs:: Nothing wrong with it to me....

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:38:41 PM)
*she tried to brush sugar off her leather skirt and t-shirt so she didn't look like such a wreck, getting most of it off but missing some on her cheek.* Well I don't feel like such a weirdo around you two.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:40:20 PM)
We go through people's trash and corpses for a living. Weird is sort of normal. *she chuckles*

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:41:21 PM)
*She smiled, chuckling as well.* I just get to torture people with a needle and they pay me to do it!

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:46:27 PM)
::she grins:: Yeah... we're used to going through other people's crap to help avenge them...

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:46:43 PM)
... Or at least catch the bad guys...

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:47:11 PM)
That must be an exciting job.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:47:58 PM)
It can be. It can also be frustrating. Depends on the day... and the case. ::nodding as she agreed and finished her iced coffee, looking to see if Lina was done with hers and needed a refill::

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:48:44 PM)
*is indeed at about the same point, handing her glass off to Luci* Thanks sugah, you're too sweet.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:49:40 PM)
I came pretty close to being a surgeon, it was what my adopted parents wanted me to do. Especially my Dad, he was a surgeon. But I was always artistic and a girl I dated was a tattooist. She taught me, and I worked in her shop for cash while was in med school. I finally decided though that was what I wanted to do and to hell with what Dad wanted. He was none to happy when I told him I'd moved in with a woman on top of it.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:49:56 PM)
::she winks:: I just know you... ::fingers dangling to take the glasses, and moving for the counter, finding Michael at the counter and she was all charm and hips and lips for a moment as she waited for refills::

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:50:48 PM)
::she calls to Casey:: Lina and I both got ink a few months back.. ::grinning happily::

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:51:41 PM)
Lina you to are real cute together. *A hint of a blush at her cheeks as if she's not sure if she's assuming something incorrectly or not.* Oh nice, well maybe, uh...maybe you'd want to come into Body Design sometime. When you're ready for more I mean.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:53:09 PM)
*pulling the zipper down enough to tug the jacket and tank to one side, showing off the head of the boa constrictor tattooed life-size to drape back over her shoulder and out of sight beneath the clothes, she lets go of the fabric and laughs easily* Oh no.. we're not together like that. We just live and work together..probably spend too damn much time in each other's company.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:54:53 PM)
::moving back with refills, setting Lina's down:: Cause you can't get enough of my awesome... ::noting that we were showing off, she grinned:: Mine's a bit more hidden... ::pushing aside her jacket and pulling up her tank top... it appears to be a beautifully done peacock, in lovely colors and plumage.. disappearing both upwards towards the side of her chest, and down, below the waist of her pants, curving around the small of her back::

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:55:29 PM)
*Poor Casey turns beet red in the cheeks...so much blushing!* Oh oh, um, shit....m-me and my big mouth. S-sorry...

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:56:14 PM)
You both have beautiful work done, and so much space for more...

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:56:37 PM)
::she waves a hand:: No worries.. not the first time... ::said easily, totally not worried:: We're mostly inseparable..

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 5:57:17 PM)
*she reaches over and pats Casey's hand* Seriously, it's not as if you insulted us sugah. Relax. We ain't made of glass. *grins and accepts her new coffee from Luci*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 5:58:04 PM)
Not even close... ::grinning as she took her seat again, pulling down her tank again, crossing long legs again::

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 5:58:57 PM)
That's nice that you have each other. *She looked up when Lina patted her hand.* I had a real close friend like that once, but she's gone now. She's left town and I kinda been a little lonely since. It wasn't like we did everything together, but we saw each other every day.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 6:01:48 PM)
*curious, since that matches up with what little she recalled* ..Jacqueline? By any chance.. I mean, I'd swear when I saw you before, it was with her.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 6:02:09 PM)
Yea Lina. She's gone...

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 6:02:41 PM)
I really miss Jacqui a lot.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 6:02:56 PM)
That's what Maya was tellin me, s'what made me wonder. I'm sorry you miss her, sugah.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 6:03:45 PM)
::Luci sat back in her seat, casually, letting them speak, remaining quiet now::

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 6:06:31 PM)
Thanks Lina. That's sweet of you to say. Among all our aquaintances I always kinda felt like an outsider, but not to Jacqui. But you two've been real nice and friendly. And maybe I made two new friends today, maybe? I really think cookin' together is going to be fun though, especially eating it after...that's the best part!

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 6:09:29 PM)
*a cautionary expression* Not usually the first couple times.. *teasingly*

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 6:09:58 PM)
*she laughed at that.* Well, your rule I gotta eat it anyway.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 6:10:12 PM)
*she nods* That's right. Otherwise..what's the incentive to learn?

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 6:10:34 PM)
((And I'm sorry..I have to call it a night. I'm fading fast. *tiips over*))

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 6:10:58 PM)
((*hugs* nini))

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 6:11:26 PM)
::she laughs and looks to her:: Lina will teach you well... no fear.

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 6:11:43 PM)
And it was a pleasure meeting you, Casey... ::offering her hand to the woman::

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 6:11:47 PM)
I'm really excited actually.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 6:11:51 PM)
As for friends, of course you did, Casey. Luci and I have enough friendship to go around. An around.. an around.. *chuckling as she gets to her feet*

Yup I sure do.

::she shook her hand firmly, friendly, meeting her gaze, then got up, stretching a bit:: Are we heading back then? ::zipping up her jacket as she did, and getting her gloves from her backpack::

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 6:13:22 PM)
((It's in Central city)) *she nods* Get yourself there and look for the sign on the white house's fence..that says Party in back.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 6:13:45 PM)
Okey dokey Lina. Sounds like a plan.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 6:13:46 PM)
Friday.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 6:13:53 PM)
I'll be there with bells on.

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 6:14:23 PM)
*nods with a grin* We'll see ya then for Gumbo. *eyeing Luci..since that was her request, and heads for the door, zipping up the bike jacket*

Lucinde Duboir (May 4, 2011 6:14:47 PM)
::she nods and smiles:: You won't be sorry... bring your appetite... the neighborhood usually turns out, tons of food. Gumbo's the best... ::winking to Casey as she follows Lina:: What? It's been months... ::trailing out to the motorcycle::

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 6:15:01 PM)
*Casey stood up as well, brushing the last of the sugar off her leather skirt. and winked back at Luci*

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 6:15:59 PM)
*mutters something in a mush of creole French as she collects her helmet and tucks her long hair in (mostly) before wedging it in place on her head*

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 6:16:19 PM)
*Violet steps into the cafe wearing a short cream skirt and chocolate brown blouse that falls off one shoulder leaving it bare. Matching brown leather boots reach up past her knee's while her long dark hair falls freely down her back. A near permanant smile on her lips as she walks by Esmae's side, a creeping change begins coming over the cafe in responce to her entrance; an indefinable aura of light and hope reaching out from her to gently touch at those within it.* You must admit chere, things are least becoming interesting no?

Lina Devereaux (May 4, 2011 6:16:21 PM)

*Moving with Violetta, Esmae moved with a gently sway in her hips, her bag over her shoulder. She wore a simple maxi dress that she had accessorized perfectly, and pushed her glasses to sit on top of her head* Things are always interesting my darling Violetta... You simply have to look a little... deeper... *She winked at her, glancing around as she moved*

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 6:21:21 PM)
*She laughs that sound of beauty and light as she glances around for an available table, the waitress already making her way towards the two stunning women who had just walked in.* Perhaps chere, though you must admit they seem to have peaks and valleys no? Speaking of which, how do things progress with Ravaged?

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 6:26:04 PM)
*She smiles and weaves her way towards a table that allows them to watch the streetside progression of those that moved past the cafe, or rather allowed those upon the pavement the honour of glimpsing the two lovely women as they drank coffee.* At least there have been no more brangles oui? Has the child been behaving herself?

Esmae Daniels (May 4, 2011 6:28:02 PM)
*She gace her shoulders a gentle shrug, taking a seat and crossed her legs at the knee* I've seen hide nor hair of it if it is the Molly Child you speak of... *She canted her head slightly, letting out a delicate little yawn as she did*

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 6:29:20 PM)
*She smiles at that, her blue eyes sparkling with repressed laughter as she turns her face to the side and orders coffee from the waitress, waiting for Esmae to do the same and the girl to leave them alone before speaking once more.* She likely fears you which is as it should be.

*Casey was just making her way out when she stopped to wave to Vi. She wore a black blouse today with the collar and top two buttons unfastened with shortsleeves and a leather skirt that came to just above her knees with black high heels and a spiked collar.*

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 6:32:45 PM)
*Violet and Esmae sit at a streetside table speaking softly. That aura of light and divinity radiating from Violet to scatter amongst the mortals near her, not one of them truly recognising the truth of the creatures that sat in their midst. All retro style Violet sits in a short cream skirt and chocolate brown blouse that falls off her left shoulder leaving it bare, matching soft leather boots encasing her legs past the knee. Spotting Casey a lovely smile is given from her red tinted lips as she waves over to the other woman, indicating with a sweep of her hand that she is free to join them if she chooses.*

Esmae Daniels (May 4, 2011 6:36:29 PM)
*She gave a half smile, twisting a lock of hair around her finger* Hmm... Perhaps. But both she and her beloved Michael know that if she opens her mouth within my presence I will simply snap her darling neck... *She wore a simple Maxi dress that hugged at her slender elegant figure* And I think that is enough to leave her cowering and running

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 6:38:24 PM)
*She winks at Esmae and reaches into her bag to withdraw her slim silver ciggarette case.* Non chere, do not do that, for it will just cause trouble between you and Michael no? Tell me, and I shall snap her neck for you.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 6:40:06 PM)
((brb while waiting on London))

Esmae Daniels (May 4, 2011 6:41:25 PM)

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 6:43:18 PM)
*Leaning back a little as the coffee's arrive, she pauses once more giving a murmur of thanks to the waitress and waiting for her to leave before continuing.* Just keep in mind mon ami that Michael has given me official permission to uh 'chastise' her if the need should arrive oui?

Esmae Daniels (May 4, 2011 6:45:18 PM)
*She gave a little wink and smiled softly, a soft chuckle coming from her lips* Then please, allow me to be present... I would love nothing more than to watch...

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 6:47:04 PM)
*She laughs softly and reaches for her coffee watching Esmae over the top of her cup.* Oui, only she has been very well behaved lately so we can hope she has turned over a new leaf no?

Esmae Daniels (May 4, 2011 6:50:08 PM)
*She shook her head softly, picking up her tea and making herself comfortable once again* I have seen hide nor hair of either of them since that night... I think perhaps my cover as a sweet tender little thing was blown...

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 6:51:11 PM)
*Her blue eyes sparkle as she looks at Esmae over the top of her coffee cup.* Chere as much as I love you I do not think you ever had that cover.

Esmae Daniels (May 4, 2011 6:52:02 PM)
*She smiled softly, giving a little wink* A girl can dream can she not?

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 6:53:52 PM)
As much as she wishes Esmae. *Smiling she stands up, her bag left on the table as she leans over to kiss the fiery red heads cheek.* I will be back in five minutes chere.

-Today was on of those rare day in which she was done working just shortly before 5pm. she knew that she would soon have to start herding the problem children later one in the evening but for now, she decided to take advantage of the rare respite from the constant pace of work, to relax and plan out her next move. Today she wore a simple cream pants suit that was perfectly tailored to her form , with a chocolate silk sleeveless shell, and chocolate wedge shoes. Her hair fell to the niddle of herback in lustrious mahoghany waves, and her toes and fingers were painted in the french manicure style. Her nude glossed lips curled into a smile as she spotted Casey speaking on her cell phone, giving her wave as she stepped inside-

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 6:56:58 PM)
*Casey made a bee line for the other Rabisu and looked as if she was moving in for a hug.* Hey there London, fancy meetin' you here.

London Carter (May 4, 2011 6:59:03 PM)
- she turned with a smile giving Casey a brief hug with her free hand, her other hand still curled around the ever present cellphone- How are you ? Closed the shop early huh?

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 6:59:38 PM)
I just came for some beignets. I was going to head back soon actually.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 7:00:02 PM)
I was spending time with Lina and Luci.

London Carter (May 4, 2011 7:02:29 PM)
- She smiled, although she didn't know who they were before linking arms with the girl as she leaned in to whisper , her gaze flickering over to the table with the two women. She never seen one before , but she recalled the other who was pretty much a flashing neon sign that read "Elohim here"-

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:03:20 PM)
*Returning to the table she retakes her seat and crosses her legs.* Apologies Esmae, but at least it was not work calling me for a meeting no?

*She smiled and winked softly* I can assure you that if they were calling you into a meeting then someone else would be reciving a rather riled Phone call... We see each other so little now..

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:05:20 PM)
*She smiles, a wicked flash of mischief in her eyes as she flicks open the little ciggarette case to remove one.* Oui mon ami, but I have been waiting for you to get out of the bath.

Esmae Daniels (May 4, 2011 7:07:21 PM)
*She chuckled and waved her hand a little* I can not help it... All warm and bubbly...

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:10:11 PM)
*Laughing she shakes her head, the dark hair kept from spilling forwards by the chocolate brown ribbon threaded through the front and tied with a bow just above her temple.* Oui chere, you do not have to explain to me of all people, I too lose myself in the majesty of water. *Leaning forward, her eyes filled with a true and gentle affection she lays her hand atop Esmae's.* But never think that I do not seek you out and pester you because I do not care Arikah. It is simply that I understood you losing yourself in the pleasures of the feeling again after so long kept away from this world.

Esmae Daniels (May 4, 2011 7:12:36 PM)
*She gave a gentle chuckle, shaking her head a little* Perhaps it's time I pulled my finger out and started working hmm? It's been over month... But around every turn there is something new and exciting... Or terribly confussing

London Carter (May 4, 2011 7:13:17 PM)
-She listened to the woman's words nodding, as she continued navagating the crowded tables, selecting the only one currently available which was directly behind Esmae's and Violet's. She set her purse and phone down just as she slipped into the seat, crossing her legs. Well that is to be expected Chere, It would be boring if eveyone shared the same opinions - London's smile spreadas she patted the woman's hand- Thank you.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 7:14:13 PM)
Come I'll introduce you.

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:14:29 PM)
Eternity stretches before you chere. *She smiles that lovely compelling expression, a gentle squeeze given to her hand.* If you ask if I miss my companion in trouble and strife throughout this city, then I must answer oui, I love to walk through the doors of Ravaged and see the boundaries torn down amongst the flock... but I will not rush you, you must do as you see fit.

London Carter (May 4, 2011 7:17:08 PM)
- She stood to her feet as smoothly as she left them, not bothering to take her bag and phone which was now buzzing. She would get to that in a moment, but first ... She made the maybe three steps it took to reach the table-

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 7:17:21 PM)
*she walked over to the pair and gestured to London. Violetta, Esmae, I'd like to introduce you to a "cousin" of mine, this is London.

Esmae Daniels (May 4, 2011 7:18:11 PM)
*She chuckled gently, shaking her head softly* Oh, on that night my dear you will sat upon my top table and all will bask in your glory and beauty. *She gave her a little wink, before looking up towards Casey and the woman with her*

London Carter (May 4, 2011 7:19:20 PM)
-London gave each woman a nod, offering her hand - London Carter, how are you ?

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:19:21 PM)
*Her hand leaving Esmae's she looks up at London with a warm welcoming smile, the presence of the lammasu, the beautiful quality of her voice an almost physical thing as it is directed solely towards her.* Oui, we saw eachother the other night no? Only I do not think the opportunity allowed for us to meet. *Her hand offered to London in greeting, her nails are perfectly french manicured, her skin soft, an elegant understated little bracelet around her wrist.* I am Violetta duBois.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 7:20:54 PM)
Of course we won't interrupt you ladies' any longer, but I thought it prudent to take the opportunity while it presented itself.

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:22:56 PM)
Nonsense Casey. *She smiles to the other girl nodding towards the spare seats.* You will join us and on va s'asseoir et parler joliment no? We will order more coffee's.

London Carter (May 4, 2011 7:23:31 PM)
[yours before mine Vi]- London took Violet's first since it was offered, and gave her a firm yet feminine grasp, offering her a smile - Yes, in the japanese restaurant a pleasure to meet you finally

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 7:24:00 PM)
Sure I guess I can before I head back to Body Design.

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:24:13 PM)
Oui likewise. *She nods to London, that lovely smile a thing of startling beauty.* You have no objections to joining us mademoiselle?

Esmae Daniels (May 4, 2011 7:24:47 PM)
*She glanced between the two of them with a gentle smile, her hands remaining in her lap though.* (Sorry, tpo is falling asleep >.<)

London Carter (May 4, 2011 7:27:59 PM)
- She smirked when Esmae didn't offer her hand, turningback to Violet- I would love to , I just need to get my bag and phone. She slid those three steps to the table to collect her things and returned, slipping into an empty seat , crogging her legs and setting her bag and phone on the table-

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:29:05 PM)
*Sitting at a table with Esmae, London and Casey a coffee sits before the lovely lammasu, an unlit ciggarette in her hand as she smiles to London.* You are newly arrived to the city mademoiselle or are you perhaps one of the hidden court that has only recently been discovered?

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 7:29:19 PM)
*Casey grinned at the other Rabisu, watching her as she went to get her stuff.*

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 7:32:35 PM)
*Michael, a rather average looking man, excepting his rather charming almost wicked smile, the odd changing of his eye color, and his flawless ebon pinstripe suit with a crimson dress shirt and black tie. He walks into the cafe, why he came only he would know, his smile says, and the odd Cerulean color to his eyes seem to worry and disturb those who look too long into his eyes. this only seems to add a further edge to his smile as he looks around.*

London Carter (May 4, 2011 7:32:50 PM)
- She settled back into the seat, her hands placed one over the other in her lap, her dark gaze watching the Lammasu - I am newly arrived Chere... - she glanced up at the waitress when she arrived, ordering coffee and Beignets for Casey and her self befoer turning back to the table,s occupants-

London Carter (May 4, 2011 7:34:21 PM)
[yeah spelling LOL]

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 7:34:42 PM)
Thankyou London. *She winked and smiled.* You're too kind.

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:34:52 PM)
*She smiles at that, her head tilting a little to the side, a small thoughtless gesture that seems to indicate the entirity of the city around her, each movement of the girl holding a beautiful symbolism that was uncannily easy to read.* What are your initial thoughts then, or is it simply too early to tell?

London Carter (May 4, 2011 7:39:12 PM)
- She gave Casey a wink, then her gaze shifting to violet once more, awareness glinting there. She picked up on the unspoken cue, but gave no outwardly indication other than that. I believe it's too soon to tell, I am not of the political bent, but I do understand the importance of following protocals. There was something about her tone of voice, while it was delivered smoothly, there was no guile in it at all. She simply did not have it in her-

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:42:30 PM)
Oui. *She smiles with a nod.* Esmae and I were just discussing expediency versus desires. *Upon the words her eyes drift up and see Michael moving into the cafe, her eyes settling on his for a long silent moment, her smile growing in responce before she remembers her manners and with a little shake of her head turns her attention back to the ladies around her.* Talk of courts and politics is no doubt something that can wait until you are far more comfortable. Instead can you tell us what brings you here?

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 7:44:16 PM)
*Feeling the aura, that likely permiated every corner of the room, michaels eyes shift color again, turning to an odd almost sparckling diamond like blue. He moves to a table, knowing the source of the emination but not wishing to be crude, and so he only waits. He does not draw a crowd or even eyes, perhaps the occasional glance in his direction as he passes or the mildly worried expression as his eyes shift in color. More then that he would nigh unto be invisible among the throngs of people. He notices Violets look and their eyes meet his smile softening even as the flintiness of his eyes fades away. his chosen seat makes seeing the table she sat at fairly easy but, he only glances from time to time. maintaining radio silence so to speak*

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:47:54 PM)
*A curious smile on her lips, a questioning glance is directed over towards Michael as he chooses another table. A lighter sparked to flame, the flame held to the tip of her ciggarette as the silent communication between the two passes in the fraction of a second as she awaits London's responce.*

London Carter (May 4, 2011 7:48:35 PM)
- London chuckled. So intent on interrogation, it would seem that Violet missed the obvious clues that the host was indeed a native to the city.- I own and run Carter Athletics, and had been in New York .. This is our busy season .. - Speaking of which, she took up her phone, bringing it to her lap to check her messages- It was where we met you could say...

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:50:13 PM)
*Her head moving to the side she exales smoke with a little nod.* Oui, well welcome to the city mademoiselle, I am sure you will agree with it and it with you.

London Carter (May 4, 2011 7:53:36 PM)
- She shifted her gaze back up to Violet- Thank you - she glanced up at the waitress who delivers the coffee and pastries murmuring a thank you, before taking the mug up to sip slowly- [ brb afk for a sec]

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:54:48 PM)
*Her lips moving silently for a moment as she exhales smoke to the side she looks back to the table with her lovely smile.* How have you been Casey, I am glad you decided to remain within the city, for a moment I thought you had left with Jacqueline.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 7:56:26 PM)
I've been ok, it is a bit rough when you're best friend departs.

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 7:57:50 PM)
You are finding yourself new friends though no?

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 8:00:37 PM)
Well sorta...

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 8:01:32 PM)
London is a sweetie. I had a long enjoyable talk with Lina and Luci. I'm still friends with Tommy and Rona, Celeste and Caleb

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 8:02:02 PM)
*Michael orders his meal and asks that it be delivered to the table with the lovely ladies, at it then he stands straightening out his suit and begins to head over towards them. He smiles to each in turn, reserving the mot warm smile for Violet, then bows to each* Would it be too rude to join you lovely ladies?

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 8:03:50 PM)
So both new and old oui? *She smiles and looks to Michael, shaking her head in responce to his question.* Non mon poet, but it would be inexcusable of you not to.

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 8:04:23 PM)
*He smiles warmly to Violet but remains standing till a consensus is reached*

Esmae Daniels (May 4, 2011 8:05:26 PM)
*She glanced up at Michael with a smile* Hello dear... You can have my seat... *She smiled rising to her feet* I have an essay due... *She chuckled a little, kissing his cheek, before kissing Vi's* And if you'll all excuse me... *She nodded her head gently to those gathered before moving to leave* (Sorry, sleepy =( )

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 8:08:20 PM)
Awww, Miss Esmae i always seem to miss you or you catch me in some foolish endeavor making it nigh impossible to chat...

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 8:08:32 PM)
(sorry brb!)

London Carter (May 4, 2011 8:09:11 PM)
-She snaps out of her work via txt message mode, glancing up a tthe man she has seen a few times about town, taking the cup once more to sip before she opens a napkin in her lap and breaks off a bit of the pasty, putting it into her mout-

Esmae Daniels (May 4, 2011 8:09:34 PM)
*She gave a little wink to Michael* You know how to find me my dear... *She chuckled softly before heading out*

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 8:16:51 PM)
*He smiles and moves to the offered seat, his plate arriving shortly, with a rather nice philly cheese sandwhich and curly fries his eyes light up looking down at it* You, know in california there was a fantastic...hebrew deli...i used to love to go to.

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 8:17:59 PM)
So London, what are your plans for tonight?

London Carter (May 4, 2011 8:18:20 PM)
[ you are aware the Cafe du monde only sells coffee and beignets right?]

London Carter (May 4, 2011 8:18:25 PM)
[lol]

London Carter (May 4, 2011 8:19:07 PM)
I have another client dinner to go on, so I will not be free this evening Casey, I am sorry chere

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 8:19:41 PM)
Awww. I was hoping we could continue our chat

London Carter (May 4, 2011 8:20:03 PM)
We will soon, but business first Chere - she winked-

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 8:21:51 PM)
(dlp, silly me keep forgetting this damn place is a coffee shop not a cafe, lol) *he instead sits politely and attentively listening to everyone at the table.*

London Carter (May 4, 2011 8:22:04 PM)
[ LOL - hugs-]

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 8:22:32 PM)
I suppose, I suppose.

London Carter (May 4, 2011 8:27:27 PM)
- London gazed at Casey- .. I would understand if situations were reversed, just as you understand now right ?

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 8:28:08 PM)
Of course London. I just enjoy your company is all

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 8:32:18 PM)
*Michael remains silent only watching the conversations as they go on polite enough not to stare.*

London Carter (May 4, 2011 8:32:27 PM)
I understand.. and i enjoy yours there will be plenty of time - she smiled -

Violetta duBois (May 4, 2011 8:33:57 PM)

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 8:38:45 PM)
*He takes her hand in a firm though still gentle handshake* Hello Miss Carter, I am Michael Price.

London Carter (May 4, 2011 8:40:43 PM)
Nice to meet you Mr Price,- returned the same in kind-

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 8:41:42 PM)
*Casey smoothed her leather skirt some.*

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 8:42:40 PM)

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 8:51:42 PM)

London Carter (May 4, 2011 8:55:52 PM)
I doubt that, people tend to get funny around here about food Cher, just something to be aware of

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 8:56:35 PM)
*she just chuckled.* Beignets are fucking awesome if you ask me

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 8:57:07 PM)
Yeah...i can see that...*he chuckles looking around the cafe*

London Carter (May 4, 2011 8:59:48 PM)
Indeed Casey! They are famous for them and they get pretty bent out of shape if someone were to bring something else up in here

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 9:01:06 PM)
Damn straight they're famous for them

London Carter (May 4, 2011 9:02:28 PM)
- London slid her plate where he could see that a bit had been pinched off to him - Here try one

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 9:06:52 PM)
Ehhhh

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 9:08:43 PM)
*He looks down at the pastry* I don't tend to eat alot of sweets to be honest...though i spose i have been eating a little more pie then I used to...

London Carter (May 4, 2011 9:12:42 PM)
Just try it cher, I promise you will not regret it

London Carter (May 4, 2011 9:13:06 PM)
[ sorry I am so slow, I am doing too many things at once LOL]

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 9:13:09 PM)
*He smiles if a bit oddly and pinches a bit off the pastry, then tastes it.* Hmmm...

Casey Richards (May 4, 2011 9:14:25 PM)
*Casey sipped coffee as shesat quietly.*

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 9:17:30 PM)

Sandra Mulligan (May 4, 2011 9:34:54 PM)
It is very late for dinner, and the elegantly dressed woman's stomach knows it. It expresses itself rather loudly as she enters the cafe, her green eyes sweeping over its various offerings and finding them wanting. Sighing heavily to herself, she steps onto the line by the counter to await service.

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 9:35:21 PM)
*He sits at a table, wearing a black pinstripe suit with a crimson dress shirt and black tie. He looks around the room oddly as his smile faulters slightly then renews itself again.*

Sandra manages to get a bagel and a coffee, then looks around the room. A small smile lights her angular face as she spots Michael. Striding over to his table, she pulls out the chair opposite him, one hand resting possessively atop it as her eyes meet his. "Is this seat taken?"

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 9:46:27 PM)
*He chuckles as he looks at the empty seats at the table* Nope...seems thats the last free chair you're lucky you got here so soon.

Sandra Mulligan (May 4, 2011 9:49:54 PM)
She chuckles in return, then eases herself gracefully into the seat. "Thank you. Yes, I seem to have gotten here so early I've completely beaten out the breakfast crowd." She shakes her head. "High heels are woefully inadequate for a walking tour of the city, you know."

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 9:51:20 PM)
Are they? I have yet to have tried...perhaps one day down the line i will wear high heels to work...*he chuckles*

Sandra Mulligan (May 4, 2011 9:53:34 PM)
"I don't recommend it. Unless your job involves lots of sitting." Abruptly, she extends her hand to him across the table. "Sandra. I think I've seen you around somewhere before."

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 9:55:02 PM)
*He takes her hand in a firm but gentle grasp and kisses the back lightly with warm silken lips.* Perhaps...I'm Detective Price...Michael Price to some.

Sandra Mulligan (May 4, 2011 10:06:38 PM)
"Ah, a gentleman, I see," she exclaims, pleasant surprise brightening her gaze. "Well, it is a pleasure to meet you, Detective Price. It's sounds like you've an exciting line of work."

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 10:09:16 PM)
ahh well, I think in this case the pleasure is all mine Miss Sandra...*his voice warm and soothing a bit like warm satin.*

Sandra Mulligan (May 4, 2011 10:10:14 PM)

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 10:11:11 PM)
No...this was a sudden and saddly innoprotune stop for food, on the other hand i have to say the company is delightful *he chuckles*

Sandra Mulligan (May 4, 2011 10:13:27 PM)
"Likewise," Sandra rejoins, shaking her head woefully over her beignette. "I don't suppose you know a decent place to get food late at night?"

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 10:14:14 PM)
I'm a policeman...if i didn't know a good place to eat late at night stakeouts would be terrible...*he smiles standing and offering an arm* What exactly to you want to eat by the way?

Michael Price (May 4, 2011 10:17:39 PM)
(to=do)

Sandra Mulligan (May 4, 2011 10:17:52 PM)
"At this point?" She returns the smile as she rises, placing her arm in his. "I'll take anything warm. I'm hungry enough almost anything would taste good. That thing was almost even tolerable."
