Memo to myself: this is saved here.
thompsongunner91: He walked down the streets. It felt like years since he'd been back. In fact, it looked like years. He'd naught grown an inch, but his face was more deeply pitted, more decorated with scratches and scars, and even a fine pale blonde line of hair across his upper lip. The wanderer ducked into an alcove as a horde of screaming girls raced by, shouting something about someone. He stared before
thompsongunner91: following after them, looking up at the man standing on the fountain who was shouting if anyone wanted to make a deal.
thompsongunner91: ((lol. your turn. ^^))
Wolf Goddess: ((hang on im thinking... just one question... whats this deal?))
thompsongunner91: ((It's a scam. XD Scam deal.))
Wolf Goddess: ((ok... think scam... think scam... cant think of good scam...))
thompsongunner91: ((Um...say you'll give them free cash. XD btw, just so you know for when you read my next part, hanky panky was originally a Gypsy term for a huge scam or con.))
Wolf Goddess: ((lol ok))
Wolf Goddess: "Free gold... Free Gold? Anyone for free gold?" Nicu said standing on the periously small edge of the fountain holding up a hefty bag of solid gold coins. "Come on... there has to be someone who wants to get this bag of free gold..." His voice was layered thick with honey and sugar. The crowd pushing and shoving to get to the front so they could get the bag before anyone else.
Wolf Goddess: ((that good?))
thompsongunner91: ((Yup. :3))
thompsongunner91: Silver slid through the crowd, stuffing his hands in his pockets and looking up at Nicu. He called back in a quiet voice that, surprisingly, shut up the clamoring mob. "How goes the hanky panky? Getting any?" A thin smile worked over his face. He raised his brows, turning the pale line into a devil-may-care smirk. "If it's so great, toss it. Get a free show in the bargain."
thompsongunner91: ((^^))
Wolf Goddess: ((hmmm... hmmm.... *thinks* ah... i got it... i think))
Wolf Goddess: Nicu looked down at the man. The old gypsy words catching him off guard. How could this nobody know what he was up to. His face calm and revealing nothing lifted his chin and ignored the man somewhat while still keeping his eye on him, "Is this all that will take you people to doubt free gold?" He asked reaching in and grabbing the shiny stone. Showing the crowd before slipping in back in the...
Wolf Goddess: ... bag and putting it on the inside pocket of his tunic. "Well if thats all you people are capable of believing then i'll be on my way" He jumped down from the fountain landing gracefully next to the boy, before leaving he whispered, "No hanky panky bout it boy just good ol' business"
Wolf Goddess: ((whoa.. ok im done now))
thompsongunner91: The grin spread widely across the boy's face, crinkling the edges of his eyes. He strolled after the man, skipping to the side as a swarm of girls surged after him as well, screaming something or other about him and his name and wanting to have his children. He slid up beside him, saying nothing for a time but watching him from th corner of his eye. He glanced up and down, sizing him and any...
thompsongunner91: weapons he might have up before murmuring, "Good ol' business and just one of you? Strange." He sized him up again, nodding. "Strange." He looked down at the street, watching as it passed under his feet and finding it odd to walk on stone once more.
thompsongunner91: ((lol. Long.))
Wolf Goddess: ((lol... time for the bitchiness to come in...))
thompsongunner91: ((XD))
Wolf Goddess: "Business is done by my own terms... And whats a kid like you doing without his parents? Go home already and stop pestering me" He growled. He had paid no heed to the screaming girls and their comments as they quite literally flew over his head. He had taken the oppotunity to take a good look at the boy when he looked at the ground and thought to himself taking extra long strides, He's gonna be...
Wolf Goddess: the death of my business if i dont get rid of him soon but he doesnt look half bad even if he is just a kid...
Nicu smirked to himself as a plan started unfolding inside his head but was instantly discarded as he remembered that he was a solitary businessman and that wasnt about to change because of a mere boy
Wolf Goddess: ((*flexes hands* wow i type alot... this is the most iv typed continuously for a rp... all my msn rps are one post it never carries over to the next))
thompsongunner91: ((lol.))
thompsongunner91: "Do you know if he's still here?" asked the boy suddenly, looking up at him and making sure to hold his gaze. "The old cobbler man what ran a shop here in town. He still here?" Silver took in the signs on the shops in the corner of his eye. He didn't recognize the small shoe-filled building in any of their facades. Down at his side he turned his hand horizontally and held his middle and ring...
thompsongunner91: fingers down, pointing out his index and pinkie in an old Evil Eye ward. He shrugged almost immediately, as if dismissing his earlier remix. "Must've got run out of business. People buying new shoes and throwing out the old." He looked up as they came up in front of a vardo, reaching up and rubbing the velvety nose of the horse that stood in the wagon's shafts.
thompsongunner91: ((Yes, horizontal rock on sign is to ward off Evil. XD It's funny.))
Wolf Goddess: ((ok im stumped... no wait... no that would be a really short post... dont like short posts...))
thompsongunner91: ((Short posts are fine. ^^))
Wolf Goddess: ((ok will just post maybe it will turn out longer than i thought... once i start i find it hard to stop))
thompsongunner91: ((okies. ^^))
Wolf Goddess: "I thought i told you to beat it kid" Nicu growled venomously. He opened the door of the vardo and stepped in slamming the door in the kids face, "Scram kid!" He had intentionally not answered the boys question.
Wolf Goddess: ((*dies* too short for me... but i ran out of inspiration))
thompsongunner91: ((lol))
thompsongunner91: He leaned against the side of the vardo, stroking the horse's flank. "Not gonna scram," he told the equine, folding his arms and settling in. "Maybe even take a nap here." He could outwait the man. He grinned, thinking to himself, Rules of hospitality. They're a b***h we gotta deal with.
thompsongunner91: ((lol. Inspired some?))
thompsongunner91: (( :3???))
thompsongunner91: ((o.o You there?))
Wolf Goddess: ((yea... just trying to think...))
thompsongunner91: ()
thompsongunner91: ((stupid emote.))
Wolf Goddess: ((lol disable them))
thompsongunner91: (( *k XD))
Wolf Goddess: ((lol that works too))
Wolf Goddess: ((still cant think what to type up though... you through me into the deep end without and floaties))
thompsongunner91: ((^^; Sorry. lol. Should I lengthen it some?))
Wolf Goddess: ((yea... need me brain to get sparked up... i mean it is passed midnight already so im sorta half dead))
thompsongunner91: ((okies. :3))
thompsongunner91: He shifted against his spot, opening his eyes and wondering when he'd fallen asleep. His stomach growled angrily. Silver turned his gaze skyward. Stars were pricking the edges of the sky, the west painted with shocking oranges and stripes of gold like a battlefield fresco. His stomach growled again. "Shut up! Stupid organ. If you weren't essential for life I'd cut you out," he muttered to no...
thompsongunner91: one in particular, even the offending organ. He felt in his pocket, looked at the handful of shriveled items and tossed them away. They wouldn't have been very filling anyway. The boy turned his head, sniffing and getting up on the edge of the driver's box to peer in the cracked-open window as the smell of food drifted out.
thompsongunner91: ((^^))
Wolf Goddess: Nicu had chosen that moment to look out that same window. He frowned and almost growled, "I told you to scram kid! Beat it..." He carelessly put the pieces of buttered bread in the toasting oven which had cheese and tomatoe filling and burned his hand in the process. He swore vehemeantly under his breathe and glared at the kid.
Wolf Goddess: ((long enough...))
thompsongunner91: ((yup.))
thompsongunner91: Silver balanced himself on the box edge, breathing in the scent of food as deeply as he could without gulping to show his hunger. He could live off fumes if he had to, he'd found. Besides, now that the man had seen he was still present it wouldn't be long before he was asked in. He bit the inside of his cheek to keep his lips still. Waiting wasn't the hard part--waiting while watching someone...
thompsongunner91: eat a buttered fresh tomatoe and cheese sandwich! He downed another nose-ful of scent and remained silent and staring.
thompsongunner91: ((>:3))
Wolf Goddess: almost stomping towards the door or rather stalking angrily Nicu slammed open the door and walked around to the kid, "Where's your parents kid?" Venom heavily laced his words and the angry scowl hadnt left his face.
Wolf Goddess: ((>.< too short...))
Wolf Goddess: ((mine is i mean))
thompsongunner91: ((it's k. :3))
thompsongunner91: Silver slid down from the box. "Dead," he said simply. He looked at the man's scowling face, carefully planting his feet and moving in a way that even another Rom would find hard to notice so that by the time Nicu looked around they were back in the vardo and Silver had taken a healthy chunk out of the sandwich.
thompsongunner91: ((btw, Rom/Roma/Romani = Gypsy/Gypsies. :3))
Wolf Goddess: ((im not completely stupid... lol believe it or not i had a obsession with gypsies at one stage))
thompsongunner91: ((Yush? o.o lol. Sorry then. ^^; ))
Wolf Goddess: ((dnt worry bout it... lol))
Wolf Goddess: Nicu had lapsed into a deep thought and when he walked back inside the vardo and saw the kid eating his sandwich he almost flipped but managed to controll that somehow, "Why you follow me kid?" He asked. Now that the kid was here he had to somehow use him to benefit him in someway even though he was a solitary business man
thompsongunner91: ((?? o.o that it?))
Wolf Goddess: ((yup))
thompsongunner91: Silver glanced up from devouring the food, chewing more slowly, an old phrase about a pig fattener also being its butcher crossing his mind. "Rom Romensa," he answered carefully. "Rom with Rom. Consider yourself a magnet." He gulped down another bite. "So, what do you call yourself, pal?" He smirked slightly as he saw the man's face twitch ever so slightly at being called brother.
thompsongunner91: ((^^))
Wolf Goddess: ((oooh this is good material....))
Wolf Goddess: Nicu flinched ever so slightly but remained for the most part of neutral emotion, "Nicu..." He muttered while muttereing under his breath about him eating his sandwich and began making a new one for himself. "What's you name kid..." He asked finally plating the sandwich.
Wolf Goddess: ((agh that length will have to do... slightly too short for my tastes but hey...))
Wolf Goddess: ((if you havent realised im picky if its not the perfect length))
thompsongunner91: ((lol))
thompsongunner91: He stuffed another bite into his face, swallowing. "Silver. People call me Silver." He smirked. "But go on calling me kid if you want. Not as if it's untrue." He settled back in the chair. "Got anything to drink?" He picked a slice of cheese of the bread, rolled it up and swallowed it whole. "And I'll help with your..." He pressed his lips together to restrain a laugh. "With your hanky panky."
thompsongunner91: He gestured around the space. "Why do you have a vardo anyway? Besides the obvious, I mean. You don't have a wife, by the looks of the place."
thompsongunner91: ((XD))
thompsongunner91: ((Bachelor pad look. XDD))
Wolf Goddess: ((lol hmm... *thinks*))
Wolf Goddess: "Why not have one?" Nicu shrugged and reluctantly slid a glass of milk across the table. Well if the kid was willing to work on his latest scam it wouldnt hurt if he gain more profit from it. "A wife is too troublesome anyways so i dont really care for one anytime soon" His voice still held an air of acidity to it but for the most part he was alright... for the time being.
Wolf Goddess: ((Perfect))
thompsongunner91: Silver shrugged, chugging down half the glass in one go. "It just seems like the person who gave it to you expected you to make that your marriage bed." He tilted his head toward the unkempt mess of sheets. He shrugged again. "A wife is wily." He took another few gulps, swirling the white liquid around in the glass. "What would you have me do for your"--he put on a raw imitation of Nicu's voice--
thompsongunner91: "good ol' business?"
thompsongunner91: ((>:3))
Wolf Goddess: he grimaced, This kid sure was annoying to the very root of the word at that too. "So long as you bring in a profit i dont care what you do so long as it doesnt revolve around using me." He said finnishing his own food and milk.
Wolf Goddess: ((*grimaces* too short for my tastes))
thompsongunner91: Is this horse milk? The boy wondered before pushing the idea away. No, he probably stole it from those cows nearby... "You'll have so many girls swarming over this place you won't no what to do with the profit they bring," he said with a slight warning in his tone, finishing the milk. "Where to sleep, though?" He looked around, unable to restrain an evil grin that almost made him deserving of...
thompsongunner91: some sort of horror movie theme.
thompsongunner91: ((XD Damien's theme from the Omen.))
Wolf Goddess: ((lol))
Wolf Goddess: "You have the floor... The bed is mine There are some spare sheets in the cupboard..." He waved half heartidly towards a set, "As for your 'profit' i only take cash im not on sale myself. which i already said"
Wolf Goddess: ((*Grimaces* Damn whats up with the shortness of my post?))
thompsongunner91: ((dunno. lol. brb. food.))
Wolf Goddess: ((lol kk))
thompsongunner91: ((back))
Wolf Goddess: ((wb))
thompsongunner91: ((thanks. ^^))
thompsongunner91: Silver went over and took down the sheets, spreading them out on the floor. "If you took your shirt off you'd be able to fill a tub with pool with gold and swim in it." He lay back, looking up at Nicu.
thompsongunner91: ((X3))
thompsongunner91: ((XD And that's supposed to say fill a pool with gold. XDD))
Wolf Goddess: He raised his eye at the kid and then turned his back climbing into bed, "Go to sleep kid" He hissed turning off the light without warning.
Wolf Goddess: ((*grimaces* my posts are getting smaller and smaller))
thompsongunner91: ((d'aww.))
thompsongunner91: The boy blinked in the sudden darkness, shivering as the heat went out with the light. He kicked between the sheets, rolling from one side to the other and rubbing his hands along his arms and chest. He closed his eyes, willing himself to sleep and managed to fall into an odd dream he couldn't recall for a few minutes. He looked out the window, saw the moon cross its zenith, sighed, and slid...
thompsongunner91: soundless onto the bed beside the businessman, pressing their backs together and falling asleep.
thompsongunner91: ((XDDD Material for a long ranting wtf moment. lol.))
Wolf Goddess: ((lol oh i think i got a serious a*****e moment for nicu comin *grins))
Wolf Goddess: Nicu rolled onto his back expecting for it to meet his bed but instead it met a warm human body. Jumping out of bed and turning on the lights in what seemed a fluid motion. Seeing the kid he growled venom coating every essence of his words, "GET OUT OF MY BED! YOUR'S IS ON THE FLOOR!!!" He screamed glaring at the kid.
Wolf Goddess: ((Agh i guess its long enough... my brain is restricting my thought processes....))
thompsongunner91: ((lol))
thompsongunner91: "Hnngh?" Silver blinked the sleep from his eyes. "Was cold," he slurred. "Couldn't get warm." He crawled out of the bed reluctantly, huddling in the sheets and watching the other Roma until he went back to the bed, shutting off the lights. He sighed, repeated the process he had earlier, thought of returning to the bed, decided against it, and headed outside with the sheets. He turned to the horse,
thompsongunner91: got it to lie down, and curled up against it in a sheet burrito.
thompsongunner91: ((X333 lol.))
Wolf Goddess: ((lol sheet burritto gotta remember that one...))
Wolf Goddess: When morning finally arrived Nicu woke and stretched. "Today's a new day..." He mummbled to himself not realising as she strode to the kitchen that he should have tripped over Silver. He was in the middle of making egg bacon and toast for one person when he remembered the kid. "Hey kid!" He called and turned around not seeing him on the floor. He shrugged and turned back to his food thinking...
Wolf Goddess: ... that silver had left him alone. "About time..." He mummbled before shovelling egg and bacon into his mouth.
Wolf Goddess: ((*grins* finally nice long post))
thompsongunner91: "Whoa!" Silver tumbled in through the window, yanking down his shirt as he stood quickly. He pushed his touselled hair back from his face. "Sorry. The horse didn't bother to wake me up when you started cooking." He dropped down into the hair opposite Nicu and took a chunk out of the toast, almost relishing the look of absolute shock on the scammer's face. "What's the matter? Bad dream?"
thompsongunner91: ((XD At some time they're gonna try to out-a*****e each other.))
Wolf Goddess: ((Lol...))
Wolf Goddess: "That's... my... toast..." Nicu said flabagasted and slightly angry, "First the kid eats his toasted sandwich from the previous night and now he was eating his beakfast to. WOuld the kid leave no break for him? He had ompletely ignored everything the kid had said and was intent on finding out what the kids problem was, "Thats my food! Cant you see that!?"
Wolf Goddess: ((thats ok length))
thompsongunner91: Silver took the toast out of his mouth and folded it up, pushing into Nicu's open maw. "Of course I see it's food." He smirked. "You can't really own the food, though, until it's in your stomach, can you?" He leaned back in the chair, watching Nicu. He shifted his shoulders in slow movements.
thompsongunner91: ((XD Ownage statement.))
Wolf Goddess: HE spat the half chewed toast out his mouth and stood up glaring at him, "This is my Vardo! and my rules! and my food! So i say beat it! You are nothing more than a menace!"
Wolf Goddess: He walked to the door and opened it waiting for him to leave
thompsongunner91: The boy didn't move, though his shoulders stilled. He eyed the man, and for an instant looked far older than he was. "Your vardo, your rules, your food, and you say beat it. I say make me, if I'm such a nuisance."
thompsongunner91: ((Ooh. X3)
Wolf Goddess: ((oooh poor nico))
Wolf Goddess: "Yes MY vardo, MY rules and MY food" She stalked forward and picked the kid up by his neck glaring, "I say get out now before you regret following me"
thompsongunner91: The boy held the Rom's gaze, pressing a long knife against his throat. "I say put me down before you regret leading me." His eyes were hard and serious, his lack of footing no matter with the blade's power and proximity to a lifeline.
thompsongunner91: (( :3 XD Footing has nothing on reach.))
Wolf Goddess: Nicu forgoing the threat of the knife lifted him further up in the air, "You are a trouble maker, You follow me and live in my vardo then you live by my rules you got that!"
thompsongunner91: Silver nodded. "I got it." He put the knife back from where he'd taken it as quickly as it had been drawn out. "You know, I'm getting vertigo up here." He smiled crookedly. "Or are you making sure I get a long look at your pretty face?"
Wolf Goddess: ((nicu is gettin real pissed...))
thompsongunner91: ((Yup. XD And Silver's egging him on.))
Wolf Goddess: ((LOL who wouldnt...))
Wolf Goddess: Nicu glared at the kid letting his hands grip tighter before dropping him. "1. You make your own food as on today. I wont be responsible for feeding you. That is your problem. 2. Dont even sleep in the same bed as me unless you want to die a very painful death" He turned sharply leaving the kid splattered on the ground and went to put on a clean shirt before leaving for 'work'.
Wolf Goddess: ((need a new scam...))
thompsongunner91: Silver followed after him at a trot, hands returned to his pockets. "You don't have a new idea, do you?" He shook his head, tapping it with his finger. "I have one. Watch. Put out your hand and your hand. Shout up a few crowds. That's all you'll have to do." He grinned, disappearing into a doorway and coming back with a worn broomhandle. He ignored Nicu's questioning look. "You'll see," was all
thompsongunner91: he said.
thompsongunner91: ((And that's supposed to say your hat and hand.))
Wolf Goddess: ((lol stupid typo demon))
thompsongunner91: ((Yush.))
Wolf Goddess: Nicu half glared at the kid. Then reminded himself that the kid was working for him now. He neednt have called for a crowd as the next corner he had turned was lined with people from all over. Several of the women even fainted when they saw him but as usual he paid no attention to anyone
Wolf Goddess: ((lol))
thompsongunner91: Silver rolled his eyes at the fainting women. "I'm telling you, all you'd need do is take off your shirt," he murmured, pulling off his own and tearing it into strips. He kneed the broom in half, wrapping the strips around the pointed ends. He smiled. "Remember, Nicu, hat and hand." With that the rags burst alight and the boy began an intricate dance, weaving the air with fire.
Wolf Goddess: Nicu began a lengthly speech to the crowd and within seconds he was being pelted with coins. This is getting too easy... He though to himself. He had actually half considered the boy's proposal of no shirt but decided against it for reasons not even known to himself.
thompsongunner91: The boy planted the sticks on the ground, twisting on his hands as the girls screamed at an even more ear-splintering decible. He landed back on his feet, twirling the sticks before going on a knee and sending a jet of fire up over the growing crowd. He winced as a shower of gold spattered him in the face with shouts of "More! MORE!" and some cries of "Take your pants off!" He panted slightly...
thompsongunner91: as he stood, blushing under the soot that dusted his face.
Wolf Goddess: Nicu walked over collecting the pieces of gold, "Keep it up kid and you will have enough for entire lifetimes" He adressed the crowd again sugering his voice more than was necissary.
thompsongunner91: Silver nodded, juggling the torches and passing one under his leg, twisting around and catching the one he'd thrown upward behind his back. He leaned backward, made a kissing face at some of the girls, and hopped back as they shrieked and threw what looked like their entire life's savings toward him. He gasped as his footing loosened as coins were caught under his feet. He dropped onto his...
thompsongunner91: shoulders before quickly using the sliding money to roll backward and up onto his feet again. He rolled his neck, hearing a satisfying pop as he returned to the dance, twirling and making a deep bow which was met with another cascade of yellow disks.
Wolf Goddess: Nicu had to admit the kid was good. They were generating more money than he had in a single month. Again he went to collect the money having to use a spare bag as the first was filled. "Got anything differant?" He asked as he walked past the kid.
thompsongunner91: The boy shrugged, panting lighty. "I can pull out the Queen Mab speech pretty well. Might have to involve some of the ladies." He smirked. "But that'll make them dump out their organs if they can't fork up the gold."
Wolf Goddess: Nicu grinned almost mischieviously, "Do what works kid..." Adressing the crowd about the next performance the girls started to push one another so that they would be chosen. "Take it away kid..."
thompsongunner91: Silver waved his hand, saying as he went, "Romeo, Benvolio, the various other people crashing the Capulet's ball, please stand up!" He skipped back as they rushed up and crowded around as he began Mercutio's famous rant. The girls squealed as he came close to one of them and whispered, "She drives a chariot no bigger than a nutshell, with grasshopper's wings and spider's legs..."
Wolf Goddess: Nicu leant against the nearest street lamp and smiled as he watched the performace. Though all that really held his attention was the massive amounts of money the two were making
thompsongunner91: Silver jumped up with one of the girls onto the edge of the fountain, she on one end of the half-circle, he on the other. He strode toward her, calling out loudly, "This is she! She who sneaks into girls' beds--" he jerked his hips forward slightly "--and teaches them first to bear! THIS IS SHE!" He turned his head back, holding out his hand and shaking his head, facing the crowd and holding up...
thompsongunner91: his hands, a penitent look on his face. "True, though, I talk of dreams, the product of an idle mind." He hopped down. "So get busy throwing!" The crowd cheered and whistled, pelting the two with coins as the boy trotted up to Nicu. He raised a brow, holding up a coin that had caught on his shoulder.
thompsongunner91: ((Cutio brought in most of the box office smashing in the '68 movie. XD))
Wolf Goddess: ((lol this is too hilarious))
Wolf Goddess: Nicu took the coin from the kid and collected the rest thanking the crowd and leaving as both bags were filled to the brim with coins.
thompsongunner91: Silver stretched slowly as he followed the man, stopping sharply. "Wait a second." He slipped into a shop and walked back out, biting off the tag and tossing it away as he put the shirt on. "Needed a new one anyway." He blinked as Nicu stared at him. "What?"
Wolf Goddess: "You paid for that right?" He said. He didnt really care if he did or not he just cared that it would ruin his reputation otherwise.
thompsongunner91: "Not really." He blinked slowly. "No one noticed me anyway. Even the cat was sleeping."
Wolf Goddess: nicu sighed, and handed him coins, "Go now and pay as well as appologize" There was a lot of venom coated in his voice.
thompsongunner91: He sighed, going back in and doing as he was told, for once. Silver trotted back out. "Happy?" he murmured. "No, you'd be happier if I was gone." He strolled on.
Wolf Goddess: nicu made no comment as he trod back to his home of sorts, "Good job kid..." He muttered opening the door and moving to the table to count the coins.
thompsongunner91: Silver shrugged, getting up on the cart horse's back and rubbing his hand down his neck. He turned around, looking at Nicu through the window. "You ever let him out of the shafts?" he wondered.
Wolf Goddess: "When i take road trips..." He was distracted by the counting of money so he didnt give a full answer.
thompsongunner91: He slid off the horse's back, taking the ridiculous helmet from the horse's head and taking him out of the shafts slowly before remounting and letting him trot off a ways. He clicked his tongue lightly, letting the horse break into a quick-stepping lope up and down the hill in long, wavy zigzags.
