[Town] Streets XXXV: Ignore the Soul Eating Hobos

[Beans]

Well-said, Master. She steps out of the pentagram or whatever.
Is that sidewalk chalk those kids used?
Dang kids.

[Quinsar]

Yeah, sidewalk chalk and lipstick...>.>
ANd he he heads back towards the manhole.


((All the cookies if you get the refrence.))

[Beans]

((I'm too full for cookies.))
She follows.

((Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Eatin' pizza, doin' dope, talkin' to a rat.))

[accuracy17(fav#]

Sage undeadtimes and walks into the Dfi.

[Recaiden]

Riki is still standing here near the DFI, but drifts towards the entrance.

[Mee]

Riki is still standing here near the DFI, but drifts towards the entrance.

Rachel is off, sitting on a bench. She looks asleep.

[Recaiden]

Riki goes over to wake her. Come on now, no sleeping out here.

[Mee]

Riki goes over to wake her. Come on now, no sleeping out here.

The first few times she's shaken, (since that's what I assume she does), there's no reply. She's completely out of it. Limp, as well.
But on the fourth or fifth, she wakes up.
"Hmm, what?"

[Recaiden]

((Yeah, that works. ))
You fell asleep out here on a bench. Come on inside, at least to the Inn.
She'll try to help Rachel up and/or carry her inside if she doesn't get up.

((Mmkay.))
"Oh, sorry."
She stands and goes in, all on her own.

[Recaiden]

Riki puts away the box and goes along with her.

[Quinsar]

Stephen is walking down the streets, towards the market.
He's holding to buckets of milk.

[Moofin Bard]

Horatio is a little ahead of Stephen. He looks battle-worn and tired. He is also looking around...possibly for Stephen. Stephen might see him.

[Quinsar]

He doesn't notice Horatio.
He gave up looking for him a while ago.
Horatio might hear his voice when he stops at a street vendor and starts ordering a coffee.

[Moofin Bard]

Horatio does hear his voice. He was indeed looking for Stephen. It can't be... He turns around and looks. Yes it is. He found Stephen. So many towns with the same name that looked exactly alike. And this was the one.

He starts running towards Stephen.

[Quinsar]

Stephen doesn't notice him, he's busy making sure the milk doesn't spill.
He looks a bit different too. A bit more muscular, a bit older. A bit uncleaner.
He's unshaven, fivve o'clock shadow shows clearly on his face, and his hair is messy and uncombed.
he looks tired.

[Moofin Bard]

Horatio looks a bit different as well. He's dirty for one, and his face has a long scar running down it. He cut his hair, it's no longer long enough to fit in a ponytail. And he looks a little older. But other than that, he's unchanged and still running towards Stephen.

STEPHEN!!! He yells.

[Quinsar]

Stephen looks up.
He just stares at Horatio, his mind in shock, refusing to believe it's him. Refusing to get hurt again.

[Moofin Bard]

Horatio is smiling. He doesn't understand how Stephen is feeling at the moment. He's just glad to be home. He finally gets to Stephen and tries to hug him. Oh Stephen. It's been so long. I couldn't find the way back here. And I know I was gone way longer than I said. We got caved in and I...Stephen? He finally notices that Stephen's in sort of a shock.

[Quinsar]

He's hugged but doesn't hug him back. He starts to talk.
Y-you were dead.
I looked. Everywhere. When I couldn't find you I knew you were dead.
I tried to move on but... I bought farm, away from everyone.
You were dead, but I'm here, holding you.
Am I dreaming, my darling?

[Moofin Bard]

Horatio blinks and lets him go. He looks very confused.
I am not dead. At least, that would be news to me. And a farm sounds nice.

He smiles. You are not dreaming love.

[Quinsar]

Then it is you!
He tries to hug Horatio.
Oh how I missed you darling! Are you hungry? Tired? Is there anything you want? Anything to make you happy?

[Moofin Bard]

He is hugged and hugs Stephen back. I missed you a lot too. And yes I'm hungry. And I'm tired. But the thing that makes me the happiest is you.

[Quinsar]

Well well well. Look what you've got here.

[Moofin Bard]

Horatio shrugs. Well when you spend two months with four total strangers thinking you'll die every other minute, it really puts things into perspective.

[Quinsar]

What happened to your face darling?
He says, trying to run his finger along the scar.

[Moofin Bard]

He is able too. It was a run in with this dark wizard's pet. Demon-inflicted wounds never do heal properly.

[Quinsar]

Well, where do you want to go?
My place, the inn, the hotel?

[Moofin Bard]

At this point it doesn't matter. Lets just go anywhere you want to go.

[Quinsar]

I want to do waht you do.
How about my farm?
