Week twenty-two: When I grow up

[stareanddrive]

*blank look* What do I want? Man, chill out -- I *got* what I want. So much potential in this here city, alla this coming so fast, everybody down here knows my name. And Brian's here. I got everything I want.

'Sides. Believe me -- I am *all* grown up.

[jawburn_steel]

*grins broadly* Yes. Yes you are.

We noticed that immediately.

[stareanddrive]

*slow grin of his own* Not much point being subtle about it, y'know?

[jawburn_steel]

*look at each other*

Subtle?

What's subtle? *grin*

[stareanddrive]

*laugh* I *knew* I liked y'all.

[jawburn_steel]

*purrs* Like you too, laughing man. *smiles* Like people who know when to laugh at life.

*nods* It seems to be a rare gift. *tilts head* We're not sure why.

[stareanddrive]

It's funny shit, you dig? Not much point *not* laughing. Even when it's serious, alla this is a game.

Because sometimes people are real damn stupid, that's why.

[jawburn_steel]

*grins, bouncing her hip* And a game we enjoy, too! *laughs* How about you?

*grins* Yes. How about you, clever man?

[stareanddrive]

Oh, I like the game just fine. Like lots of things just fine.

[redhandedrobin]

*chuckles* You definitely are all grown up. *looks up and down teasingly*

I don't believe we've met?

My names' Jason.

[stareanddrive]

*smirk*

Roman Pearce. Nice to meet ya.

[redhandedrobin]

*nods, smirks back*

Uh-huh. Same here. *laughter in his eyes, hiding the sharpness as he works on figuring things out*

[stareanddrive]

So what all's your story, kid? Seen you running around this place before.

*Rome can see that sharp -- kid ain't quite got inside eyes, but there's something funky under there*

[redhandedrobin]

*laughs out loud, softly, not to be overheard* My story's enough to drive a priest to booze and the dark angels' arms, man.

What's your story? Seen snips of you, never a good look- been deprivin' me!

*he's placed him as having spent Time- but for what, not violent unless it was passion*

[stareanddrive]

Yeah? Sounds like fun to me.

Hey, pretty girl, coulda come on up and said hi yourself. Not gonna make me do all the work here, are ya?

[redhandedrobin]

I'll just bet it would. You tell me yours, first, then you can have mine.

*blinks- grins* I'd never. 'Sides, what if I like watching you work?

[stareanddrive]

Hell, there ain't that much to tell. Got my ass yanked out of some mistakes I'd made in Barstow by a buddy of mine, needed my help to clear some of *his* shit up. Guns and murderers and crooked cops... well, it wasn't boring, so once we was done I stayed with him. Had to keep his ass out of trouble, you dig?

C'mon and watch me play sometime, then, baby.

[redhandedrobin]

I get it, yeah. Gotta keep other peoples' shit together, sometimes, y'know?

*nods* A'right. I was a stupid kid, stole the tires off this... eh... kinda like a cop, more a vigilantes'... car. He took me home, made me his partner and shit. *looks away, face sets hard, then back into the lively 'playing' face*

Shit happened, yeah, went a little crazy a while back, but I'm mostly better now! *grin* Mostly. Might want to back off if you see me with a knife in my hand, though.

Be a pleasure. *grin*

[lion_cub]

+smirks+

He's a cute one, certainly.

Oh you grew up nicely, I think.

[stareanddrive]

No he ain't. And don't you tell him he is, either.

Just *think*? Huh. Shows what you know.
