The Innercalm of the SandStorm

[brokendreams]

The night holds great things, and after so much work. The new SandStorm has outshone its predecessor. The demonstration worked well, though the dealer lost his job... a loss is a loss and I only want the best in this future of mine. I did manage to get a drink from my new employer today, and because of that I spotted Furio... That is a long lost, well almost friend.

I do believe he wanted security back in Rome, but why he is in Las Vegas is unknown to me. He did mention Leo Mancini was here, where is she? Did she just come here and settle down. I have the feeling I need to look up numbers online or something. Sure I have Furio's and he has mine, but the world is weird. This is something I wish to look forward to.

But this new code to allow employee access and updates and everything. It needs to be coded, and this time I have is sparing. I do not know just yet when the swap will go down, and when I will see my employer next. The total is nice, and I'm glad I won over a casino. The six month push back will be hampering but, six months is all you need to set a new security record here. Then I am sure business will flock....

But this world has so much to change in it... I would sleep now to allow for restful programming but it doesn't make sense to do that. Sleeping is so worthless, these dreams of mine so broken and shattered only reality is truely worth the time. I guess I'll need to grab more coke, and possibly rum. This is worth the celebration.

says to ALL: Happy Day of the Dead my love... *She was smiling, her smile could be read through the way she spoke on her cell. She was poised outside a convenience store, preparing to get a load of groceries for Hank. He didn't want her to of course, he tended to get upset if she tried to do anything like a normal person. He wanted to fawn and dote all the time, but it really did get aggravating... She liked to feel alive still, human. She did little things that made her feel alive still, her heart even beat within its boney cage (Baby face merit). *

says to ALL: After rolling out of bed, and realizing he was lacking the caffienne he needed to start his life, he got dressed quickly grabbed his cell, and ran out of the hotel. He put up his hood over his head, and started to jog down to the nearest store... His stomach started to growl and his hands twitched a bit from the lack of its wake up boost of caffienne. The only problem he had ever had with late night programming sprees was the result hte next day...

-[Walking on the sidewalk]-
says to ALL: *She clicked her cell shut, sliding into the inside pocket of her sleek armani jacket. It was a mens jacket yes, but it had been taylored appropriately to fit her small sleek frame, a simple dark charcol. She wore matching pants, and a crimson button up silk shirt underneath, with a long necklace of pearls doubled around her neck. Her shoes weren't heels tonight however, they were black leather skater shoes, custom made, stylish, well polished. She slipped into the convenience store, strolling along with a little backet to put things in. Bread, milk, a carton of eggs, some snack mix... Then over to the pop. Her long curls draped down her back freely, bouncing and swaying with each step like little springs.*

says to ALL: He popped into that grocery store, and first moved to grab some bread and cold cuts for sandwhiches, then moved to the Pop aisle and moved over to the Coke section. He stared at it then at Pepsi, looking for the deal... he quickly thought it over and went and grabbed the 36 pack of pepsi, and started to move to the front of the store, minding his own business, he nearly tripped on the wet floor haven't not noticed that wet floor sign (clumsy me!). His hood popped open, and he tried to get a balance (dex 3 balance 0) but didn't quite get it and fell down dropping his stuff in the aisle.

-[Walking on the sidewalk]-
says to ALL: *She was trying to make the choice between regular diet coke, and diet coke with lime. If she got regular diet coke she could add the lime to it after, with real limes..which was nice...but that meant she had to get real limes, which she didnt think this tiny shop would have. She ended up grabbing a two litre of diet coke with lime included, putting it into her basket. She turned to go, careful to tread over the floor without slipping, having noticed the wet floor sign without even paying attention (Perc -4). The man infront of her slipped and went crashing towards the floor, his stuff rolling outwards. She moved with the grace of a performer, putting her basket down and holding a hand out to help the man up.* Need a hand?

says to ~Tapastry of Shame~ Leol: Brushing himself off, he grabbed the hand not looking up. "Thanks... I got a little antsy, ya know not having caffienne seems to affect my dexterity..." he said with slight chuckle afterwords. He grabbed up his stuff into his basket, then looked to the face who had just helped him. His brain, was tripping over itself, he just stood there staring for a moment at this very familiar person.

: *Lynbt was hardly recognizable as the man she once knew, and while she slightly recognized him the years had hardened and changed him greatly. She helped him to his feet, her grip firm and strong for such a petite young lady. She was perhaps twenty, twenty one seeming, because of the make up she used to make herself seem a touch older than when she stopped aging. * Ahh, Caffienne... yes, one of the many legal drugs we become addicted to in this fast paced society. She moved to start picking up the things he had dropped, helping him put it back in the basket.* I hope you're not hurt, I don't think this little shop could handle a law suit.. *She was jesting in good fun, the humor could be easily read in her voice. She was a rather charismatic little creature, had a way of making good impressions in the first few moments of meeting people. She had a wide, brilliant smile, it reflected in her dark mirror like eyes.(Char 4)*

says to ~Tapastry of Shame~ Leol: Shocked he gave out a brief sigh. "Now I need even more caffienne, unless this is for real. Leo?" He said with some shock in his voice. His age did harden him, but the biggest blow to him was not her looks, or anything, it was her voice. He never heard it before.... He was rubbing his head as she picked up the little remnants. "And as for law suit, its nothing I did it myself...," the complete puzzle in his head trying to work it out, sure Furio said she was here, but he didn't say she spoke.. maybe this wasn't Leo? He smiled anyone, his aging haven beaten him up slightly but not enough to completely to abscure his truely slightly above average looks (app 3).

: Yes... I'm Leo... *She paused then to fully look him over, trying to place the familairity of him. Her voice was questioning, a brow raising as she eyed his face.* Do.. I... Know you?... It can't be... *It was dawning, his eyes were what brought it back. Oh dear god, and now was one of those moments she wished she could dominate people instead of just charm them... Last time they parted she was only a fraction younger looking than she was now, and that was -years- ago... And...she was Leola then, the mute little helpless thing. He hadn't known her in the between years, this would be quite a shock. *

says to ~Tapastry of Shame~ Leol: He nodded quickly and gulped a bit. "Yeah its me Lynbt! Well... Leola Mancini... You have aged well in these past years. I guess I haven't... I see age was also kind enough to return your voice, when did that happen? And why did you stop writing? So many questions... and I dont have to worry about tiring your hand anymore," he said with an happy laugh, he couldn't really cope with it, so he was just trying to let it slide by. "So, I heard from Furio you were in town..."

: I had surgery quite a few years ago to repair the damage to my vocal chords... I .. I stopped writing because.. I left Rome. I left behind everything to with it and needed a fresh start... *She had been on the edge of her sanity when they last saw each other, voices talking to her... shame and guilt over her rape. She had none of that now, it had been shed with that mortal life. This life, or unlife, or eternal life, whatever you wanted to call it... This was where she was free. She smiled again, trying to charm away any disbelief he had, which was sure to be plenty.* Furio? You know Signore Giovanni?

says to ~Tapastry of Shame~ Leol: "So surgery huh... and because you left Rome? I mean... Well I guess I am apart of your past you want to leave behind huh? I see how it is..." He coyfully tried to play a trick on her, knowing it'd more or less be taken as a joke (Manip 1). "But yeah Furio, I know him... back in Rome I was going to do some security stuff for him... I just landed a big contract here with a casino..." he answered rather cautiously, as he hadn't fully read the paperwork from the casino to understand everything he could say in public. "But, I've made a name for myself in security here in the states. I don't suppose you heard of SandStorm?" he asked curiously wondering what she paid her interests into now a days.

: Don't play like that with me, I had to get out of there... They had actually put me in an asylum for a while... But that was years ago, i'm over the things that happened back then. *She shrugged a shoulder in such a dismissive way, it was like she was making the uncomfortable topic poof away into nothing. He probably wouldnt question it, as she had a way of making it seem like it was just the usual flow of conversation. She moved to pick up her own basket, happy she was picking up groceries at a time like this. Little things that make her seem so much less than what she really was, making her seem human still. * Yes, a little. New budding company with a genius programmer.. Is that you? Congrads, making waves..

says to ~Tapastry of Shame~ Leol: "Well I do program, but its more or less just circuitry being used to its full potential..." he was starting to feel the problem with his lack of caffienne, his hands shook and he bit his lip. "I'm sorry but i'm still as much as an addict to caffienne, I really need to get some in me..." he exclaimed as he motioned for the front

: *She moved with her basket for the front, thinking it was probably best to get them in and out as quickly as possible anyways. Reunions were best done ...in less public places than this, thats for sure. He was different now, edgey... less... Well, less 20. He was an adult, a full grown man, and she marked the differences in his body built and facial features. She would let him go through the check out first, doing that little side step that would signal him to go ahead*. I still know nothing about security, i remember us playing with your systems in your apartment.. i was hopeless.

says to ~Tapastry of Shame~ Leol: "I could help you out with it, i'm sure. Why do you got business' or anything to protect?" he asked as he unloaded his items, then paid for them. Taking the time to wait after he paid. "I mean, I just got here I am staying in a hotel for now and what not. But I got a good client here, and i'm staying to train them and probably oversee my expansion here...."

: *She let her items get run through the system, paying in cash with a shiny platnium card. * I run clubs across the U.S actually... *Her cell was vibrating against the inside of her jacket, and she knew who it was. She took a card out and slipped it to him, it had her name and cell on it, and an image of a greek goddess (muse) holding a rose and a tradgedy mask.* Give me a call, but i really have to dash! ... Actually do call me, we'll do tea, or coffee... *(Poof)*

says to ~Tapastry of Shame~ Leol: He gave a nod, and parted ways with the old friend... She had changed so much since Rome... had he changed that much that she didn't even know him ?
