Brendan was wandering along the Riverwalk, wearing a pair of tight fitting, low slung black jeans, a pair of scuffed Docs, and a black tshirt. He had his sketchbook with him, and a bag of pencils and charcoal. As he walked, he looked around, seeming to be searching for something.

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 5:07:51 PM)
*Standing there on the bank of the river was a tall, slight figure, one of proportioned grace and uncanny stillness that would immediately drew the eye. Wearing a gray fedora with a black, tailored coat unbuttoned to the stylishly contemporary suit beneath, his pale, angular features were a mask, his gaze intent and intense as he stared off at the water, his hands in his pockets.*

*wearing a dress from the early 1900';s all black wth a black veil , her skin is pale benieght the lace, as her arms are also covered in black lace gloves as she walks softly down the river walk in thought and listening to music form her iphone that is sitting out of place considering what she is wearing on her hip*

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 5:11:34 PM)
Catching sight of Amarin, Brendan paused, staring at him thoughtfully. Say hello or... Or. Finding a place to sit just off the path in the damp grass, he opened his book and started to sketch, lightly outlining Amarin and the river in pencil, first.

Samantha Brightstar (Jul 9, 2011 5:14:48 PM)
*she walks along in a slow durge of a step as she listens to her music*

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 5:17:24 PM)
*Amarin didn't appear to be interested in or engaged with his immediate surroundings. Standing much as a statue might, the only real movement to indicate otherwise was the dark hair he'd left down, strands caught in the evening breeze.*

Samantha Brightstar (Jul 9, 2011 5:18:31 PM)
*she pauses and looks up form her walk down memory lane and stares at the man in the fedora standing on the river bank like a statue*

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 5:19:26 PM)
(afk a few)

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 5:20:36 PM)
Brendan took advantage of his distraction to work on his sketch, brow furrowed in concentration as his hand with the pencil flew over the page.

Samantha Brightstar (Jul 9, 2011 5:24:17 PM)
*after staring for a bit she returns to moving along her head down as she remembers*

Samantha Brightstar (Jul 9, 2011 5:32:17 PM)
*she walks down the river walk apst them both oblivious agai to her surundings as she listens to music*

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 5:34:58 PM)
*Turning finally, Amarin caught sight of Brendan, his brows furrowing for a split-second before the expression smoothed once more. Giving a half-smile and a wave, the Toreador took to the paved pathway, approaching the strangely curious mortal he met the other night.* Hello again.

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 5:35:08 PM)
(Sorry, I'm in a bit of a tense mood atm, going to be slow)

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 10:18:47 PM)
(So where were we? Amarin had just approached him, right?)

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 10:19:03 PM)
(He said hello again, something like that)

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 10:19:38 PM)
(Right right.)

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 10:20:28 PM)
Brendan looked up from his sketching, blinking at Amarin before grinning. "Hey." Getting up, he brushed himself off before offering a hand to Amarin. "How're you?"

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 10:30:52 PM)
*Looking at the hand, he took it, his own touch somewhat cold. Then again, some people just had cold hands, it wasn't entirely out of the norm.* I'm well, thank you. *His hand was firmly shook, and tucking his own back within the confines of his pocket, the stunning youth wore a pleasant smile on his features.*

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 10:34:48 PM)
He noticed the cold fingers but didn't sweat it, his grin lingering. "I saw you standing there and I had to draw it. You cut quite an image."

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 10:43:00 PM)
Do I? *The smile seemed innocent enough, and he studied him with those flawless eyes of his--black opal, and inherently curious. Moving to take a seat against a rock, he looked back to the water, 'breathing' in the scents and drinking in the sounds.* Life is so thick here. It chokes out everything else. Drowning it.

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 10:46:02 PM)
"You do indeed." He watched Amarin move, fascinated by him. "Life drowns everything else?" He considered that. "Okay, I guess I can kinda see that. What makes you say it though?"

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 10:52:13 PM)
.

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 10:57:31 PM)
Can't you smell it? Hear it? It's festering. Decaying and rotting, feeding the teeming life as it twists and creeps and grows strong. The rotting face of the Earth, and the creatures that crawl against it. *Looking back to him finally, the hint of disgust had vanished, and he once more gave him a teasing, shadowed smile, dark and wholly mysterious.* Sorry.

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 10:57:34 PM)
(back)

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 10:57:40 PM)
(wb!)

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 10:59:27 PM)
Shaking his head slightly, Brendan studied him, a slight smile lingering. "No..don't be. That's a great way to describe it, actually." He moved over to sit down beside Amarin, the sketchbook set aside. "Is that what you were doing out there, listening to drowning life? Smelling it?"

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 11:01:08 PM)
Yes...and no. What about you? *He turned the attention and focus back on Brendan, apparently genuinely interested in him, far more than he was about his own reflections.*

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 11:01:55 PM)
"Me?" He shrugged. "I was just taking a walk, escaping my cell for a bit. I like it out here at night, it's quiet and dark and empty."

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 11:02:33 PM)
*Amarin laughed, the sound richly generous and pleasant to the ears.* You really think so? Funny. I feel the total opposite.

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 11:03:27 PM)
"You think..what? That it's loud and busy here? At the riverwalk?" He glanced around skeptically. "I mean..there's lights along the path, but there's nothing else..there aren't even any boats out on the river now."

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 11:09:24 PM)
Were you listening to me at all? *He laughed and watched him, his black eyes sparkling.* The life here is deafening. The insects, the birds, the animals, the plants. Even the water and the air. It's a chorus of continuous life and death, the one feeding the other mindlessly and endlessly. It's deafening.

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 11:11:56 PM)
"Oh, you can hear -everything-?" He shook his head. "Man, that's gotta suck. Is it like that all the time?" Maybe it was unusual to just be taken at face value for his words, but that's what Brendan did. What else could be done, after all?

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 11:14:17 PM)
Sometimes it happens when I don't want it to, but it's usually done intentionally. If I focus enough, I can hear and see and feel a great many things. Life should be like that, even if it drives us mad, don't you think? To always feel and taste and experience as much as possible in every moment. Why else would our senses be given to us? Why should we not immerse ourselves in every pleasure open to us?

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 11:16:57 PM)
He stared at Amarin, then grinned, leaning in towards him. "No shit? That's awesome! Can you teach me how to do that? Oh man, that would be so great."

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 11:21:07 PM)
*He arched a dark brow at him, tilting his head, the shadow of the fedora falling over half of his face as he smiled slowly.* It isn't perfect, you know. Nothing is. For that gift, there is a price. Loneliness, madness. Torment. To be alive...-truly- alive...is a terrible thing, Brendan. Terrible, but glorious. Beautiful and horrible.

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 11:23:05 PM)
"People say the same thing about art." He shrugged. "You know what I say? Having a chance to get to -experience- something like that...totally worth it." He nodded seriously.

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 11:26:54 PM)
Spoken like someone that's never paid a price too high. *Amarin laughed softly, the youth present in his features playing paradox with the old soul possessed in his eyes. Brooding, intense, corrupt...perhaps. The smile was a tease, as breathtaking as the rest of him.* How old are you?

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 11:29:40 PM)
Again, Brendan was silent for a moment, just gazing at him. Leaning back on his hands, he gave Amarin a cocky grin. "I'm 21. How old are you?"

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 11:34:06 PM)
Twenty-three. A whole two year's worth of life and experience over you. Maybe that's where my superior wisdom comes from. *A light humor infused his features, rendering them all the more perfect and miraculously beautiful.*

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 11:37:16 PM)
So distracting, Brendan stared for a moment before he shook his head, sitting up. "I have to tell you something. I am completely distracted by you, you're just..amazing. Gorgeous, you have to know this. I want to draw you. At the very least," he added with a mischievous grin, pale blue eyes meeting his rather boldly.

Amarin Diodati (Jul 9, 2011 11:48:37 PM)
*The dark-haired, pristine youth watched him, a slow smile creeping over his lips. Clearly, he was flattered and amused all in the same breath. Lowering his gaze, the smile deepened and he shook his head, chuckling.* Thank you....I think. *Lifting his gaze, he studied him with that same simmering, avid interest.* If you want to draw me, I'll let you. But only if I can have it afterwards.

Brendan Sanaki (Jul 9, 2011 11:49:39 PM)
He nodded. "Sure, I'll even make it an extra good one so you want to keep it." He grinned, anticipation lighting his eyes.
