"That'll be awesome!" Sharon declares, going to give Angie a hug.

"That's still Smurfs, not kobolds, I'm afraid." Then he turns to Kareem and Zefir. "I think I'll go ask him. Thank you, Kareem. If you're in, would you mind joining me, Zefir?" Unfortunately, Latella seems a bit too unstable for Ekkehard's liking, so the invitation isn't extended to her. Though she could invite herself along and he won't stop her.

Angie happily hugs her back, carefull not to knock off Maurice the Lemur from his pearch on Sharon's shoulder.
"Do you want to invite anyone else on the trip?"
Vinny's Place
Billie leans in and kisses Vinny. "It doesn't have to be all the time. I just like hearing you say it. You have a sexy voice." :smallwink:
She might be, consciously or otherwise, trying to change the subject.
Vinny's Place
Vinny gives a grateful nod and returns to looking down at his food for a minute before speaking up. "You don't want me to do anythin' about it, do yous?" He whispers, feeling a bit helpless about the ordeal that Billie is going through.
Vinny's Place
Billie shrugs helplessly. "I would, Vinnie, but I don't know who to name! I don't know which of the guys who bought a roll off me might have done it. I don't even remember everyone I've shagged."
She looks away. "I'm a gutter whore at heart, Vinnie. I ain't never been anything else."
Vinny's Place
When Billie calls herself a gutter whore, Vinny's neck tightens and he clenches his teeth for a moment before closing his eyes, trying to relax himself. When it finally works, he reopens his eyes and continues in a tense tone. "Billie, if you want to feel better about this, and have her feel better about it too, then yous need a safer place. If yous can't guarantee her safety when you switch..." He says before looking her in the eyes and giving a small shrug. "I can't be everywhere, Ma'am."
[A[nother] Park]
"Yeah me either. Guess it will be the two of us, and Maurice of course."
At one point Angie almost went on a camping trip with Angela and a few other girls from HALO, but that was before she became leader, then left with no warning. She still hasn't talked to Angela since she came back. About this time they should be completing their loop around the park.
The Temple of Splendours
"There is," Shrike confirms with a nod. "And don't worry, I know some delightfully secluded lakes that would work perfectly," she adds, almost purring...
...as she tosses a handful of syrup at Fettina. :smalltongue:
[A[nother] Park]
"It'll be awesome," Sharon confirms, nodding happily. "High adventure and fun!"
And clearly BR shouldhook her upget her to talk with Angela.
[A[nother] Park]
"I can hardly wait. Hopefully he adventured some place warm."
That would mean she would have to talk to BR and Angie has been pretty hermit like with most of the people she knew before she vanished.
[A[nother] Park]
Indeed. But I think he's supposed to visit her at some point anyway...
"Oh, I don't know. I kinda like the cold," Sharon observes with a grin.
[A[nother] Park]
"Yeah well those of us who aren't half ghost still get chilly sleeping outdoors sometimes."
She smiles and hugs her friend again.
Thanks. I'll see you soon."
[A[nother] Park]
Sharon sticks her tongue out at Angie and returns the hug.
"I'll be ready for you."
[A[nother] Park]
Angie waves and heads off, heading towards her office in the Red Zone.

Latalla follows Ekkehard and Zefir, either oblivious to the fact that she wasn't actually invited, or simply not caring.
Oh boy! I haven't gotten to go on an adventure in a long time! I hope my battle music is still working. I haven't tested it recently.
She is grinning from ear to ear. Clearly she is excited.
Vinny's Place
After a moment, Vinny sighs. "Dun have to think about my sugges'in right now, Billie. Just...sometime." He says, conceding the argument a bit for now.
Vinny's
Billie nods, and eats silently for a while. Finally she gives him a sidelong glance and says, "So, you met her. What did you think?"
Vinny's Place
"Nice 'nuff dame, but she ain't my type." Vinny admits. "Too flighty and proper." He tells Billie with what he hopes is a reassuring smile, but probably ends up giving her something more akin to a grimace instead.
Vinny's Place
"The way I always saw it, she got the nice home and the husband and the kid and I got nothing. So I didn't think I owed her nothing." Billie closes her eyes tightly and clenches her fists. "Dammit, Vinny, I want to find those ****s and tear their ****s off too. They ain't got no right to treat a lady like that, even if she is a right bitch."
Vinny's
"No Billie, I can take care of them, but youse need to give me a chance." Vinny tells her a touch sadly, his smile fading.
Vinny's Place
"You'll have to talk to her. Get descriptions. Places if you can. If I know those things, I might be able to give you names." Billie says.
Vinny's
The mobster reaches across the table to take her hand and give it a small squeeze. "I will, ma'am. Promise. Now lets not worry about it any more. I'm sure there are better things yous have on mind to do."
[Sitar's Strings]
Clarissa's unearthly, photogenic, attention-addicted sin, Pride, makes a guest appearance as the garcon snaps pictures of herself and Becky. Clarissa will pose for the waiter, her right leg bent at the knee and as she attempts to slide it up the side of Becky's leg. She was once trained as a model, and that training shows in the glamour, grace, and glitz behind each and every one of her flawless moves and features. Her poses, surprisingly, will emphasize Becky as the main attraction, so long as Becky is more than willing to play along.
"Perhaps we should request a booth. If the night carries on like this, we might discover a scandalously positive use for it."
Clarissa winks and flashes Becky a satisfied, devious smirk.

[Dodgy Blind Alley]
Alder's test of the hardness factor of the gang members' skin will produce likely unforeseen results! The criminals, although rookies, were intelligent enough to equip light body armor! Therefore, low caliber rounds are somewhat slowed before they shred through one of the rookie's abdominal region (it's just a flesh wound) and knock the wind out of the other, incapacitating him temporarily as he wheezes and adjusts to the sting of the impact.
But there are more pressing and rewarding matters at hand than terminating a vigilante and enslaving a young girl. An alien is at the gates! Its corpse would sell for a small fortune of gold on the black market to an uninformed buyer.
"Ignore this bum and take down that freak!"
Could scrap it for parts...
The rpg delinquent will attempt to fire his missile at the Chrysalid!
Exploiting this distraction to the fullest, a panicked Eericka attempts to bash through a reinforced metal door to escape from her doom in this squalid trash-heap of a neighborhood! She's...not making much progress toward that goal. Absolutely none.
Alder decides to take advantage of the gang members new target and moves towards Ericka.
Miss, if you'd please follow me. I can get you out of here.
Alder, stows his pistol on his belt and watches the gang members fight the Chrysalid.

Sharon waves back, and heads back to Inari's with her new lemur friend!
At least she didn't name it Julien. :smalltongue:

[Sitar's Strings]
Becky laughs huskily, winking at Clarissa as she is, indeed, more than willing to play along, arching her back slightly as her bare leg is teased by Clarissa's, her arm around her companion's waist.
"Oh, I think that might be the best idea I've heard yet for the evening," she declares, before looking back to the young chap serving as maitre d', who, she suspects, will be in need of a hankerchief before long to stop the nosebleeding, if he doesn't already. "Can you arrange that for us, darling?"

James glares at the two. Try not to take it too personally though, he glares at everybody. Life just hasn't been the same for him since the zombies disappeared.
