Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 9:30:06 PM)
Cindy is walking the beach, shes bought a pair of old crummy gumboots with her, so as not to ruin any footwear and shes trying to not let the smell get to her. Just another young and concerned young woman, looking for animals hurt or trapped with the oil.
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 9:30:48 PM)
*She steps down to the beach, her expression somber. She claspes her hands behind her back as she steps over the slick sand. She smiles gently at the young girl* You're a saint. *She says softly*&
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 9:31:38 PM)
A look of surprise at the older woman, shaking her head and looking pained. -q- "Not much of one today, all I've found has been dead. .."
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 9:33:03 PM)
*Sighs heavily* I'm sorry.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 9:36:23 PM)
A small shake of her head before looking up, frowning at what looks like just another part of oil strewn sand, blinking a little and then hurrying for it. She moves to crouch down, then wings feebly moving, near death, she gets a bite to her hand in protest, just pure instinct. A little blood flowing and she tries to pull the bird out of the worst of it. Her clear gloves protecting her from the worst of the muck.
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 9:38:09 PM)
*She looks the bird over, starting to sing a hymn to herself as she closes her eyes, nonetheless seeming to look directly at the creature*
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 9:40:42 PM)
A glance up at the woman, curiousity at the hymn of all things, though the bird seems to realise its not in any immediate danger, licking at Cindy's blood and the young woman looking at it as a small touch of her magic flows from her to the bird, her agelessness flowing along her arm and over the bird and Irene will notice it starts to move more, looking more lively.
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 9:42:59 PM)
Hmm...You seem quite talented. *Irene says in a knowing tone* I'm Irene Mason.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 9:44:08 PM)
A small quirk to her lips at Irene's words, still trying to help the bird. "Cindy Hendricks."
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 9:44:49 PM)
Nice to meet you, Cindy.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 9:45:55 PM)
One of the more official people, vets coming over, seeing a live bird, surprised seemingly by that, how'd they missed it? Moving to take it off Cindy's hands and giving her a warm smile before hurrying off. Cindy watching it go. "It should live now ... and uhh, you too?"
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 9:46:25 PM)
Me too. *She nods with a smile* I keep meeting people around here but there seems to be no organization yet.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 9:47:37 PM)
A pause at that before finally nodding, looking Irene over curiously. "Umm, not that I've found, you're right."
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 9:48:01 PM)
I've been trying to get people together. Do you know any others?
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 9:48:45 PM)
"I know a few, yes. A bunch of us came down together from Seattle. Well, they came down, I sorta tagged along, I'd really only just got there anyway."
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 9:49:25 PM)
I'd like to meet them. Was it a large group in Seattle?
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 9:50:22 PM)
"I wouldn't really know. Theres about six or seven I know?" Nodding a little. "Only a couple well though, like I said... I'd pretty much only got there when they all decided to come to Orleans."
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 9:51:23 PM)
Hmmm...What was wrong in Seattle?
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 9:52:47 PM)
"Wouldn't know really, something about scientists up there. I think officially I'm called an orphan, though that seems to surprise some people." Especially after what she just did to that bird.
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 9:54:16 PM)
I'm a Celestial Chorister.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 9:56:13 PM)
A small smile at that. "Oh, nice to meet you then. After the hymn I should probably have guessed."
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 9:56:38 PM)
So where shall we go?>
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 9:58:53 PM)
A shrug at that, motioning up to the sand dunes above the beach and trudging up into them before taking a seat and looking out over the sea. "Unless you have some idea? This is safe enough."
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 9:59:23 PM)
*She follows and has a seat, frowning as sand gets on her dress* Safe enough but rather depressing.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 9:59:50 PM)
A small shrug at that. "Sure, I suppose ... every little bit helps though right?"
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 10:01:03 PM)
Every little bit helps. Does most of your work concern the natural world, Cindy?
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 10:02:04 PM)
A shake of her head at that. "Honestly? I'm just a student now ... but I'm good with life, bodies and the like ... so thought maybe I could do something? Don't feel like its much ... but still."
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 10:03:51 PM)
We'll be in a better position once we're organized. Do you know if any of the others you spoke of are available?
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 10:05:53 PM)
"Let me try..." Moving to pull off her gloves, wrinkling her nose a little as she does so and sending out a couple of careful texts. Waiting for a few moments. "Mmm, maybe they're all busy ..."
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 10:10:17 PM)
Are they also Orphans?
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 10:11:15 PM)
"Umm, no. None of them are actually. I think one might only be developing into a mage but the rest are traditions like you, well, not celestial, but yes."
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 10:12:25 PM)
*She nods, seeming thoughtful. She goes silent for the moment*
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 10:13:07 PM)
Cindy looks at her curiously for a moment before finally. -q- "Did I say something wrong?"
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 10:15:16 PM)
Not at all. I find you intelligent, approachable, compassionate and dedicated. The topic was simply exhausted and I was not sure of another one.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 10:15:56 PM)
A blink at the compliment, smiling softly and looking down, blushing finally. -q- "Tell me about yourself?"
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 10:18:24 PM)
I'm a Catholic school teacher. I'm active as a laywoman in the ecumenical movement. I'm 48. I've never been married. I've lived in Louisiana my entire life.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 10:19:17 PM)
"Never been married?" A curious look up at her. "Hmm ... is that by choice?"
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 10:19:39 PM)
Yes. It's by choice. *A bit defensively*
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 10:20:23 PM)
"Oh, I didn't mean it that way..." Sighing and biting her lip for a moment. "Sorry."
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 10:20:45 PM)
It's alright. *She smiles softly* How about you?
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 10:21:33 PM)
"Umm, if I told you my whole story ... you really wouldn't believe me. Sides, you might think ... much less of me."
Irene Mason (Jul 19, 2010 10:22:33 PM)
I doubt that.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 10:23:38 PM)
A quirk of an eyebrow at her. -q- "Well ... I'm actually only a couple of years younger than you. Before my awakening I was a stripper in Reno." Waiting for her reaction, times have certainly changed for Cindy.
Cindy Hendricks (Jul 19, 2010 10:31:58 PM)
