Rumours

FF- Next Morning

Vex sat across the table from Crystal and Autumn. He was simply explaining the mechanics of the evening's events- the execution. Once finished, he left the diner they had been in to go and get to work. He had to leave town for the next two days.

Crystal looked at Autumn and smiled softly at the girl. She had napkins with her- still crying. Crystal felt bad for her. She rubbed the child's back gently. "It'll be okay, I promise," she murmured softly to the fifteen year old.

[Koops]

Reo was with her boss in his home in the town, the place was sparse of anything, but what it did have was exquisite and nicely accentuated it's home. "You haven't been telling anyone what it is you're doing around here, have you? Because i've been hearing things." The man said suspiciously, blue eyes narrowed.
"What sort of things?" She asked off-handedly, fooling around with a rubber band, plucking it and listening to the noises it made.
He snorted. "You and some guy walking around together, and you speaking to him. Civilly. No yelling or cursing involved." The man said this pointedly and firmly, frowning more.
"Well, I haven't told him a thing, and I won't." Reo assured, glancing up at him from under her long black lashes, wryly.
"That guys in a gang if i'm getting my information correctly. You shouldn't be around him, and you won't be around him. Unless you want to lose this job." He was threatening her, but he had too, if Vex's gang happened to be working with a rival drug lord, then things could go horribly wrong.
She opened her mouth to swear at him but snapped it shut, giving a curt nod and standing. "Yes, sir. Of course." Then the woman left without another word or glance in his direction.

Killian was asleep at his house on his couch, still passed out from his indulgence in drugs from the night before.

Crystal finally was able to leave once Autumn's parents picked her up and took her home. Crystal walked around town, chain smoking. SHe was tempted to find a dealer and see if they had the illegal cigarettes- the ones that tasted good. Marboro (sp?) wasn't bad, but she'd had one that had vanilla flavor in it once...The box said Belgium on them. God, she could use one right now.
She strode by Killian's house without thinking, eyes on her feet and mind wandering.

((i've been hanging with my smoker friends lately, and they smoked these cigarettes that just became illegal and they smelled sooo good. I'm sort of a second-hand smoker, lol.))

[Koops]

His nose twitched in his sleep and he swatted at it, but it twitched again and he had to rub it hard, which caused him to rouse himself from his sleep. Killian cursed a couple of times and then sat up, looking around, eyes blurry and sticky. Yet again his nose twitched and he growled at it before sniffing and catching Crystal's scent, his eyes widened in glee and he jumped off his couch, running to his front door, sliding his shoes on as he went and then darting out of his house, the door slamming behind him.
He spotted her not to far away and quickly ran after her and slowed once he got closer. "Mornin' te ye." Killian greeted to her cockily, grinning.

((Ah! I know the kind. A friend of my families smoked them a lot... xD))

[Milk]

Crystal looked up at him, her cigarette hanging lazily from between her lips. "Morning," she mumbled and took in a toke. She pulled it out and offered him one. "Do you know where I can get the flavored cigarettes?" she asked.

[Koops]

((It's not a toke if it's a cigarette. Just to tell you, not to be picky or anything.))

He shook his head and waved his hand at the cigarette, refusing it. "No thank ye." Killian said, walking along with her, he sniffed and glanced at the stick of nicotine before looking away again. "Naw, aren't those illegal or somethin'?"

[Milk]

((idk smoking word etiquette yet, lol))

"Yes, but they taste better," she answered and finished her cigarette, crushing it out under her feet. "What have you been up to, Mr. Sneaky?" she asked.

[Koops]

((haha, no worries, man. You've learned one new thing about it just now))

"Ah, Mr. Sneaky. Now tha' isn't very nice." Killian replied, pouting a little, but quite amsued at the same time. "Well, I know of a drug dealer that probably has got some of those cigarettes in stock for a cheap price if ye'd like to go and get some." He suggested slowly.

[Milk]

((lol, yeah.))

"I would like to go get some...I've had a sad morning," she mumbled. Crystal glanced up at him. "What did you do this morning?" SHe pulled her hair up into a pony tail as shse walked with him.

[Koops]

"Slept. I jus' woke up when I smelt ye out here, I did." He answered and made a detour across the street, gesturing for her to follow him. Killian shoved his hands in his pockets, "Wha' could be so sad abou' it, lassie? It's a beautiful morning."

[Milk]

"I've been talking to...You don't want to hear this, you already think I mope enough," she answered and scratched her neck, frowning. She was following him though, eye half-lidded in thought.

[Koops]

"Oh! So it was abou' those vampire-fella's then, was it? I see, well, then let's not talk abou' it. I don't want ye to storm away from me again like ye did the other day." He said, totally understanding what direction she had been going in before she had stopped herself from telling him anything. "Tell me abou' yerself. Ye know everythin' abou' me already tha' there is te know... So I wanna hear abou' ye a little more. besides tha' depressing shit. How about yer likes and favourites and what not, eh?" Killian murmured, eyes darting around, making sure they were heading in the right direction.

[Milk]

Crystal scratched her neck. "Yeah, them. I probably would storm off too..." she mumbled and sighed, thoughts on Autumn. "Likes and favorites? I like....sleeping, my couch, music, cigarettes....Um...Food, I love food..." She started to list, frowning thoughtfully. "My...favorite...I don't know, I don't think about these things...Er...I guess my favorite color is pink....and I couldn't live without Sushi."
She paused.
"Your turn."

[Koops]

"Like drugs, dogs, Ringo Starr, I love him. Absolutely love him. The night is lovely too... Sex is a like, I like sex. And killing things... Creatures in particular." He explained, wondering if he'd scare her by saying some of these things. "My favourite fruit is oranges, actually, it's just my favourite. I couldn't stay alive without those, always had an addiction to them, the citrus. My favourite band is The beatles, 'cause of Ringo. My favourite drug is... All of 'em. Can't choose just one. Ah, favourite colour is either red or blue... Can't decide between 'em." Killian hummed thoughtfully, looking up at the sky and then down again, the house was at the end of the street. "Almost there."

[Milk]

Crystal glanced at him, then away. "Oranges, huh," she mumbled. "Oranges are good..." She hugged herself as a breeze blew through. "Why'd you move to this town?" she asked. "OR did I ask that alre-"
Her phone was vibrating. "One second."
She answered and spoke quietly for a few moments. "Autumn...Yeah, I'm a little busy right now...I can come by soon though..........." She stopped and pursed her lips, looking conflicted. "I'm going to speak to your parents when I get there, okay?...Please stop crying..."
After a few more minutes, she hung up and walked with Killian again. "Hey, so what is your name?"
