@rojoqueen Kay.

Nikola turned to face him. What was this guy's problem?

"Listen here, kid." She growled, her rage barely contained. "I am not crazy. I am not your fiancee. I am not your sister. I hardly know you. I don't know why you are pretending otherwise, but maybe I should report you, because you seem awful keen on stopping me from reporting to the police...

The police could probably hear her from here, but she didn't care.

"I barely had enough when I first bought it, but let me tell you it was worth every penny." Eight nodded, and started down the ally back the way she knew. "I make decent money now. Not great though."

rojoqueen • 1 October 2013 at 9:15 PM

@dada_dragon @ems

Tundra
"Hush!" he said "I only came to give you your half of the money."he said coolly "If you report to the police." with his hand he made slicing motion at his neck "They would end your life right then and there, then and only then, would they go and take care of the crime." he added

He handed her half the money, "Oh and I get the car."he said slowly walking back to the car.

Jay
"Wish my life was that easy."she said as the neared the butcher shop "Life hasn't been very simple lately."she said smiling "I got myself into jail, and my brother ended up busting me out, very embarrassing to have my brother see my nice orange jumpsuit."she joked

@luv
Are you coming back?

ems • 1 October 2013 at 9:17 PM

"Lemme assure you, Jay, it's not easy." Eight smiled at the joke, and unlocked the door to her shop. "After you." She said with a spontanious flourish of her arm.

dada_dragon • 1 October 2013 at 9:35 PM

Nikola glared at him. This made no sense. Why would the police kill her? She ran ahead of him and got between him and the car

"What do you mean 'they'd end my life'?" She asked. "Why on earth would they kill someone just for reporting an offense?"

She stuffed the cash in her pocket as she spoke. Who cared how she got it? She needed the cash. The jobs at the sewers would be taken by now.

@rojoqueen We meet again! 83 Hey.

Name: Keegan Alpha
Age: 20, though looks older cuz dark circles under his eyes (insomnia ftw! 8D)
Gender: Male
Social status you are hoping for?: Pretty content with being poor and unacknowledged, thank you.
Personality: Very violent and aggressive, prone to getting angry or offended by the smallest thing and stirrs up fights rather often. Territorial tendencies - he's very possessive over everything he has. Wary, visibly apprehensive of strangers, who, when meeting, he either gets into an argument with or treats improperly, what with his tendency to act more introverted than anything, especially around people. Dislikes skin and eye contact alike, refusing to initiate either in any circumstance. More than capable of leading an intelligent conversation, though tends to not use words pretty often.
Looks/description(no pics): Loomingly tall, lean, but generally muscle-less. Sporting a hunched-over posture, which makes him look protective of himself. He has dark brown hair with natural light brown highlights. Dark brown eyes. Wears broody clothing, mainly a black hoodie, which he often wears with the hood up so he'd remain unseen (though it's a bit impossible for him).
Specialty: Speed, although it's a minor advantage that he has, long legs and all. His closeted intelligence is what he takes pride in, although he never puts it to use.
Job: Mechanic - previously deployed a few times, hence fights or arguments that he is talented in stirring, but since he's actually good in what he does and pretty much one of the few plausible mechanical workers that even the poor population can afford, he finds jobs easily.
Other: Odd thing out - he has a barl owl (Augustine) perched on his shoulder. The animal's white feathers contrasts uncannily with his dark appearance. ~Irwin

@jupiter_hollow
The queen or rping has dared to join my rp? Accepted!

Jay
slowly walked into the butcher shop, it smelled like meat, they would fit right in she thought to herself.
Other than the now bloody welcome mat it was a nice looking place.
She watched as children pressed their nose against the bakery's window across the street, everyone was starving these days, everyone. Here it was everyone was poor and starving or rich and thriving, she shuddered,
in Irwins day, everyone had a full belly even the poor, not because he was more strict, or because he donated money, because he truly loved his citzens and to prove that he had married one of the poorest girls to become his queen. "Did you ever meet irwin?"she asked eight not many people had, but the people that did were truly charmed.

Tundra
"They hate having to do their job."he said moving her away from the car "They get payed for slaughtering people, everyday halderfirst doesn't hear about crime, he raises their pay."he added.
It was true halderfirst didn't care how crime was dealt with, just that it was dealt with. The jails always had rooms open because their was no criminals to fill them, they were all gone.
A lucky few made it to jail then were executed after 3 years.
Halderfirst idea of reuse meant food too, if food went bad he sent it to the jails to feed the inmates.
"Keep out of trouble, and your nose away from the police."he said "Then you can live till you die of old age."he said hadn't this girl lived on the streets long enough to know the police didn't do sqaut?

jupiter_hollow • 3 October 2013 at 5:21 PM

@rojoqueen Stahp! You're making me blush! >///< But let's be serious, I'm not a veteran, much less a queen. I sort of don't know how to jump in. I'd like to start immediatelly, but most people aren't online.

rojoqueen • 3 October 2013 at 5:22 PM

@jupiter_hollow
Yes you are the queen!!(next to me of cours lol) eh who cares start where ever, allen is randomly standing somwehere.

jupiter_hollow • 3 October 2013 at 5:24 PM

@rojoqueen No, but thing is, Keegan's not an easy character to put up with xD That's why he's a challenge in general. And I sorta vowed to myself not to soften his personality for the sake of allowing some interaction with other characters... Technically a weird challenge. I'll just throw him out there for takes, if anyone dares come near the brooding owl guy.

rojoqueen • 3 October 2013 at 5:25 PM

@jupiter_hollow
lol, Tatiana has no one to talk since luv kinda quit. o.o the weirdo with the bird!!! XD FLYING MONKEYS!!!

jupiter_hollow • 3 October 2013 at 5:57 PM

@rojoqueen Alrighty then. Gonna ping everybody I saw on this thread. @ems @dada_Dragon @luv Did you quit, hun?
-
He walked alone, shoulders hunched and head hung low. The wide frame of his chest was bent downwards, invisible weights of misery compressing his ribcage as much as the polluted city air was doing. However looming of a height he possessed, the boy did not, in any way, look strong or powerful. Instead, the attempt he was making to conceal himself entirely, trying fruitlessly to wedge his distinctive form into the monotonous crowd, made him appear wary.
The figure clad in black passed through the main boulevard quickly, rising dust behind himself as he went. Contrasting to his shadow-like appearance, a small form of white stood out sharply against the background of blacks and grays that was his appearance.

Truly a pityful sight, the boy malnourished and visible thin, form showing clearly through his paper thin clothes, while the animal was energetically sated, seeming to have been more cared for than her owner.

So it was like this that he passed the row of shops along the main street, gaze not straying from the ground, not even once to look around his surroundings.

dada_dragon • 3 October 2013 at 6:13 PM

@rojoqueen

Nikola shook her head in frustration.

"Clearly coming here was a mistake." She said. "Things may have been bad back in Riverton, but at least the police had some honour left in them... Maybe we'd have been better off with Irw..."

She immediately shut her mouth. She had to be careful what she said in public.

ems • 3 October 2013 at 7:42 PM

@rojoqueen
--

"Unfortunately... no." Eight said quietly. "Be careful with that name." She closed the door behind them, locking it for good measure. The sign still read 'CLOSED'. "The washroom is in the back there, I'll let you go first." Eight smiled faintly, gesturing Jay in the right direction.

rojoqueen • 3 October 2013 at 7:56 PM

@jupiter_hollow @dada_dragon @ems

Tatiana
left the area as she no longer saw a reason to stay, she know had to find a car, and somewhere to get some food for her rumbling stomach.
As she walked into a street that smelled heavenly of fresh baked loaves, her shoes clicking against the hard pavement, it was the one not ruined place, the smell of fresh baked bread, and fresh meat, was a smell she wouldn't trade for the world.
Many people couldn't afford to sink their teeth into nice soft warm bread, but she could. Tatiana could have easily bought everything in the stores.
As she walked towards the bakery on impulse, she saw a dark figure with a white bird on his shoulder, was it an owl? His hunch position made it look as if he were sick,
as if to add to his sick look a woman shrieked. "Diseased!!!" and pointed at the poor man with a bird upon his shoulder. Tatiana looked at the boy shocked, he didn't look sick but he sure hunched allot.

Tundra
grabbed nikolas hands, "if you ever say that name in public."he said "You will also receive some nasty punishment." he added "Get in the car seems as you can't control your tongue on the street then you should be watched."
If someone mentioned irwin around halderfirst they would lose their head immediately, either by him or his guards, why did the man need guards?, no one though enough of him to kill him.
Then why should he worry about protection.
"Nikola, you should worry more about your life than you do." he said calmly

Jay
"Yes I know it is an illegal name to say or to name your child."she sighed as she walked towards the wash room, the wonderful aroma of cooked beef filled her nose, no wonder eight loved her shop, as she walked into the wash room a horrid smell filled her nose, "Eight!"she screamed did eight keep dead body's here too?

ems • 3 October 2013 at 7:59 PM

@rojoqueen
--

Eight heard her name shrieked,m and quickly jogged into the washroom. "Yeah? Something wrong?" The smell hit her too... Did she forget about another body? Then again, she never left them in the washroom.

rojoqueen • 3 October 2013 at 8:10 PM

@ems

Jay
"You have a dead body in your washroom."she said pointing at a short fat ,of what used to be a man.
"There is also a note attached to him" she said ripping it of his jacket, The man had a stubby face, and red nose like he had been drinking, his colorless eyes and bushy eyebrows reminded jay of who he was.
"This is Halderfirst trusted adviser, Ryan Heran."she gasped "Why would you kill him?"she asked he had done nothing except drink and slur.
She slowly opened the note to find out what it said, she wasn't sure she wanted to find out though. It read *Ryan, they are coming for you, you haven't much time, they have found your alliance with the rebellion, you know where to come for safety*
"Apparently ryan didn't know where to go."she said with a small laugh.

ems • 3 October 2013 at 8:24 PM

@rojoqueen
--

"I... I didn't kill him..." Eight said very slowly, studying the man's face. "I've never seen him in my life. Something's up. And I really, really don't like it." Somehow, this man had gotten into the washroom. And somehow, he died.

Eight really didn't like the look of this... Was that why her door had been broken the other day? Had this Ryan Heran broken in to get away from the guards, only to be shot down in her washroom? The girl's stomach tumbled a bit.

How had she not noticed?

"I need to get rind of this body now..." She muttered, and stepped forwards to drag the body out to the trash can. "Another gosh-darned trip to that stupid dumpster. And this one isn't even my fault." She grumbled.

rojoqueen • 15 October 2013 at 3:09 PM

@ems @dada_dragon @jupiter_hollow @ice2505 @bluebelle

Jay

"Are you sure it wasn't you?"she asked "If it was we could be in serious trouble, running for the rest of your life!"she sputtered
"And whats this rebellion?" she asked knowing that eight might not have all the answers, "Well the least we can do is get rid of this body."she said still traumatized by the smell she wanted to bolt,
leave this girl all alone with whom she was accused of killing, but most of all she wanted to find this rebellion, have a shot at getting rid of halderfirst, maybe just maybe she was meant to have found this guy, was it on purpose that she found him in this washroom, no probably not, she had nothing to do with any of it.
"By the look of him he is maybe 24hours old, he looks like he was just barely dragged into your shop also."she said pointing to the floor that was a relief it couldn't have been her, when he was dragged in about the same time she met eight.

dada_dragon • 15 October 2013 at 3:46 PM

@rojoqueen

Nikola climbed in the vehicle. She wasn't sure why. She barely knew this kid, after all.

"It just slipped." she said.

It wasn't as though she'd really cared about whether Irwin or Halderfirst had won, but now... Well, she'd had a pretty decent life before Halderfirst, hadn't she? She seemed to remember being happy...

"But I'm right, aren't I?" she asked Tundra more quietly. "Maybe we would have been better off..."

rojoqueen • 15 October 2013 at 3:59 PM

@dada_dragon

Tundra
Slid into the driver seat, "Yes you are right, but if we get caught speaking of these things." he shuddered "It could be the end of our days."
"Did you like being my fiance or sister better?"he asked with a flirtatious smile going back to his regular flirting self, he would probably get slapped for this one he thought, but maybe she was a little kinder than the other girls, who had slapped him multiple times.
he started the car, sure tundra pretended that he knew how to drive his new found car, but truth be told he didn't have a clue.

dada_dragon • 15 October 2013 at 5:30 PM

She rolled her eyes.

"If I had to pick? Sister, I guess. But if you tell someone I'm crazy again..."

She let the treat hang. She really couldn't think of something right then. She was never very good at on-the-spot thinking... Or keeping her mouth shut, apparently.

"So what's the plan?" She asked.

@rojoqueen

rojoqueen • 15 October 2013 at 5:44 PM

@dada_dragon

Tundra
"Well darling I like it better, when were not siblings."he joked trying to gross her out.
now that he thought about nikola, smelled odd to him and played hard to get. Plus she had not interest in him.
"But if you are my sister you take crazy medications."he said with a serious look, once upon a time he had a sister, and she was mildly insane, for all he knew she was dead to him, last time he saw her his parents were dragged away by halderfirsts army, he smiled at nikola, "You hungry?"he asked as his stomach rumbled, he was famished! plus he needed a mechanic to fix the window then his new car would be perfect!

ems • 15 October 2013 at 8:33 PM

@rojoqueen
--

"I know it wasn't me, alright!" Eight snapped back. "And honestly, if there was trouble, there'd be no 'we', kid. I've been 'in serious trouble before." She growled, dragging the body outside. She had to get to that other danged dumpster.

"I can't talk about the erm... Rebellion right now. It's not safe." She murmured. "Anyways, if he's about a day old that means it was him who broke down my door yesterday."

dada_dragon • 15 October 2013 at 8:38 PM

She frowned. "I'm not acting crazy, so you can forget that, and yeah, I'm hungry. I'm always hungry."

Well, that wasn't necessarily true. She'd been lucky with some decent jobs a couple times, but nothing permanent. She had to show her identification papers which showed that she was a suspected Irwin follower, all because her employers were Irwin followers. Sure she was released because there was no proof, but that black spot would remain on her records so any well-paying permanent jobs were out of the question. Only the desperate were willing to hire people with questionable records...

@rojoqueen

rojoqueen • 16 October 2013 at 3:04 PM

@dada_dragon @ems

Jay
"If he broke down your door, then we need to search the entire shop."she said her idea was that if he came here, then he came here for a reason, not because he was being dragged, it seemed as if he was trying to reach the 'safe' place that was mentioned in the letter.
"The safe place could have a tunnel from your store to the 'safe' place that was mentioned in the note!"she said as she helped eight drag the body out of the building.

Tundra
"Where should we go to eat my dear?"he asked with a smirk, nikola was nice, but had trust issues, everyone these days had trust issues, even him.
he kept thinking that nikola was going to knife him every time he turned around. But he kept his fears at bay.
"Since were both officially rich now, lets buy something that doesn't come from gregs grocery."he laughed trying to lighten the mood.

dada_dragon • 16 October 2013 at 7:13 PM

She looked out the car window. Not that there was anything worthwhile to look at...

"I don't care where we eat." she answered. "As long as it's food."

Quite frankly, she wouldn't have cared if they'd gone to a grocery store... She'd learned not to be picky. Anything beat dumpster diving, and she'd had to do that a couple of times...

She looked over at Tundra, who appeared to have no idea how to work the vehicle. She rolled her eyes.

"If you don't know how to drive, you should have said something." she said. "If you can't drive, let me do it and just tell me where to go."

@rojoqueen

rojoqueen • 18 October 2013 at 9:09 PM

@dada_dragon @ems

Tundra
"I can drive perfectly well!" he said trying to impress her with his 'knowledge', which he still had no clue how to drive his new 'toy'.
just as he said that her smashed three road cones, and a about five trash cans,
"How about you take a turn driving?" he asked "Only because I am getting a bit tired."he added quickly

He course, could tell that she guessed he didn't know how to drive, of course she was right. He had absolutely no idea , what half the buttons in his car did.
stopping the car he unbuckled his seat belt with some trouble, of course because he had never rode in a car and had rarely seen one before. "We might need some fuel."he added

dada_dragon • 18 October 2013 at 10:24 PM

She smiled a little and got in the driver seat. It had been a while, but she still remembered how to use it. It was a way nicer car than her old one.

She pulled onto the main road and headed towards the fueling station.

"So what do you think of Halderfirst?" she asked.

@rojoqueen

ems • 19 October 2013 at 1:05 AM

@rojoqueen
--

"I think I know my shop." Eight growled, slightly irked of Jay's persistance. "He probably broke down the door to hide. Besides, it's not even important at the moment." She sighed as they finally made it to the dumpster again.

"What matters is he's dead, and I don't like finding him in my place."
