Rumours

[Koops]

He tilted his head back and drained his drink before standing up and paying for his drinks. "Let's get going then!" Red cheered and made his way out of the club, straightening up his white suit on his way out. He actually liked sushi.

[Milk]

Crystal followed him out and then lead the way back to her apartment. She let him inside and showed him to where she ate- after clearing off the coffee table. "I don't usually have company, so there's no table...Sorry." She pulled out the sushis, the many delicious sushis, and set them on the coffee table. "Can I get you anything to drink?"

[Koops]

"No worries about the table, I don't mind." He replied, taking a seat, really he didn't have many friends either, just his gang mates and the people he sold drugs too, he had his wife to, but she was in the hospital. "Water would be good, please." Red answered, giving her a wide grin before looking at all of the types of sushi.

[Milk]

SHe got him some water and made herself some tea. She set his glass down while the water was boiling and motioned to him to go ahead and serve himself. She'd set plates down with his water, and some chopsticks and forks, and the various sauces to dip in. "So.....Why sell drugs?" she asked curiously.

[Koops]

Red started to dish himself out some of the sushi and sauces and such. "People want drugs, I grew up around drugs, I decided it was quick money. And i'm good with people, and have good behaviour, so I can talk myself out of things, and if I go to jail I get out quickly because of all of the ties I have with important people." He told her. "Sort of vague, i'm sorry. But that's just why I think I do it."

[Milk]

Crystal nodded. "Do you like it?" she asked, grabbing some yellow-tail. She then moved to get some tuna and california rolls. "What's your favorite kind of sushi?"

((God I want some sushi))

[Koops]

"Do I like my job? Yes. Do I like the sushi, also yes." He said and laughed once more at himself, he was really a nice guy, he just had a villainous sort of job. "My favourite kind of sushi is Hirame. Uh, halibut sushi. What's yours?"

[Milk]

((he really is nice. i wanna hug him...and eat sushi))

Crystal motioned to the yellowtail on her plate. "I love yellowtail, and california rolls...And eel." She took a bite of sushi and grinned. "What else do you do? Like...do you have a family? Hobbies?"

[Koops]

((Lawls, he's gotta be one of my nicest characters besides Gabriel.))

"Ah, yellowtail is good." He agreed and put some of the yellowtail on his plate, eating it up happily. "I've got a wife, she's in the hospital. She had to get from her left calf down amputed off." Red explained and sighed, thinking about his wife, she had gotten into a car accident and was still in the hospital from it. "She'll be alright, she's supposed to come home in a couple of days. It's lonely without her around..." He trailed off and ate another piece of sushi. "No hobbies I can think of. What about you, your family and your hobbies?"

((night, night))

[Milk]

((night))

"No family," she started. "They disowned me for 'doing unholy activities that were against God,' and that was that...I was fifteen. I like to read magazines...How come her leg is getting amputated?" she asked, feeling bad for his wife. And for him- cause he was lonely.

[Koops]

Red nodded his head slowly, "They were religious fanatics." He leaned back into the couch and ate another piece of sushi. "She got into a car accident, I always told her it was stupid to drive aroud in a car in such a small town when you can walk everywhere. But then again, she's only really drove the car when she needed to go out and get a lot of groceries... No one wants to pack pounds of food around." Red rubbed his temples. "She doesn't think she's beautiful anymore, just because her leg is gone and she's got a couple of scars... I think she's still as enchanting as ever. You'll have to meet her when she gets back home, she'd like you, you'd probably like her too. She's got such a calm spirit. Her names June by the way." He rambled out, smiling to himself at the thought of hsi woman.

[Milk]

Crystal listened to his story, feeling both empathy for his wife, who she could relate to, and to Red, who she could almost relate to. She put a piece of sushi in her mouth and was silent as he continued to tell his wife's story. Once she swallowed, she said, "I'd very much like to meet June." Crystal grinned to herself as she thought, the smile wearing thin. A whole leg though...That's rough... she thought, feeling sad for his wife. Poor woman.

[Koops]

He smiled. "You look a little upset about this, you shouldn't be though. it could've been so much worse, she could've been paralyed or died." Red said, he didn't want her to feel bad for them, he really thought something worse could've happened. June would get over the loss and be able to make the necessary changes involved with his unyileding assistance. "Give me your telephone number and i'll call you to make a schedule for when you should come over and meet her. We'll have dinner, you can bring Killian with you." He teased Crystal, winking at her jokingly.

[Milk]

Crystal blushed and stood to go get a pencil and paper. "I can't help but feel sad though....What happened was awful," she mumbled when she returned and scribbled her name, phone number, and email. "I only use that when at the library though, so that's sort of a last minute thing..." she said and handed it to him. "I'm pretty sure I have seventy-some-odd unchecked messages at this point in time." She smiled. It could have been worse... she thought and grinned more.

Vex strode into the bar, looking for Red, and sulking when he found no one. He shrugged and took a seat, and sat silently for awhile.

[Koops]

"Awe, you blushed!" He teased even more and laughed, popping his last sushi into his mouth and eating it up quickly. "Thanks." Red spoke gratefully after taking the piece of paper from her. he grinned, pulling out his wallet and slipping it inside before standing and stretching. "And thanks a lot for the sushi and the company, it was nice of you to invite me over. I'm going to return the favour." He promised and looked at his watch, only to glare at it when he saw the time. "Damn, i'm going to be late." The man whispered under his breath before looking at crystal again and giving her a apologetic smile. "Sorry to eat and run, but i've got a meeting I can't afford to miss. I'll be sure to see you around, probably at the bar, or if you show up with Killian again, or by yourself or whatever." Red ranted and laughed at himself before moving past the girl and making his way out of her apartment after waving at her in farewell.

Haiti showed up only minutes later and immediately spotted Vex, he grinned and walked over, plopping down beside the other man and giving him a big smile. "Yo, mon."
