[20:17] <Sean_Carver> BTW, I met someone else here too. <he nods>

[20:17] <Herusu_Hunter> We don't even know if it's a thing or a whole bunch of things

[20:18] <Karagin_Bell> It's one.

[20:18] <Sean_Carver> A nice young lady, very polite. <grins> Had a plesant conversation. She's visiting as well.

[20:20] <Sean_Carver> <looks back and forth, beholding the empty streets> Though, I guess we won't see her. Probably gone already.

[20:21] <Karagin_Bell> <chuckles> <"Great now we have two love struck people.">

[20:21] <Sean_Carver> <"I heard that.">

[20:21] <Herusu_Hunter> <laughs>

[20:22] <Karagin_Bell> <blinks and turns towards Sean>

[20:22] <Catherine`Carver> <rolls her eyes> Psychics...

[20:22] <Sean_Carver> <"The whole lot of us..."> So, I'd watch what you say and think. <winks>

[20:23] <Karagin_Bell> <snickers and thinks about fluffy bunnies jsut to see what the reaction is.>

[20:23] <Vince`Ryder> <the requiem members behind the smoke have hidden behind the counter as well>

[20:24] <Catherine`Carver> <"So, you like this girl Sean?">

[20:25] <Sean_Carver> <"Huh? Well, I just met her. I guess so.... hey, hold it!">

[20:25] <Catherine`Carver> <"Huh?">

[20:25] <Sean_Carver> <"I'm not like him!"> <Points to Herusu, for no apparent reason>

[20:26] <Karagin_Bell> <"My my, calm down Sean.">

[20:26] <Sean_Carver> So much for privacy. I hate this. I've got to put every thought through censoring. Damn psychics...

[20:27] <Herusu_Hunter> Why are people pointing at me?

[20:27] <Karagin_Bell> Well looks like you need to follow your own advice.

[20:27] <Sean_Carver> <"Ya know, you can only read thought's if you're trying too. So... stop trying!">

[20:27] <Catherine`Carver> <cough, cough>

[20:27] <Karagin_Bell> <shrugs> Fine, just don't scan me.

[20:28] <Herusu_Hunter> Why do I get the feeling this has to do with me and a certain french girl?

[20:29] <Catherine`Carver> Because it is.

[20:29] <Sean_Carver> Nothing. <"Anyway, I wonder..."> <Hears a dog bark> Oh!

[20:29] <Herusu_Hunter> Damn it, we're just friends, why am I being made example of?!

[20:29] <Sean_Carver> <He immediately steps up his pace, noticably.>

[20:30] <Sean_Carver> <"One word, and I'll..." trails off, glancing back at Cathy>

[20:30] <Catherine`Carver> Damn.

[20:30] <Catherine`Carver> <snaps her finger in dissapointment>

[20:31] <Dianna_Newlett> <leans against one of the buildings. Storm sits beside her. He watches her intently as she signs to herself>

[20:32] <Dianna_Newlett> <it was only a bunch of nothing, but it made her smile as she went through the motions.>

[20:33] <Sean_Carver> <Rounding the corner, he nearly trips over Storm> Ack!

[20:33] <Dianna_Newlett> <looks up at Sean>

[20:33] <Sean_Carver> <Waves> <"Oh, hello again, Dianna.">

[20:34] <Dianna_Newlett> <"Hello">

[20:34] <Karagin_Bell> <puts hands behind his back and scratches at his arm idley.>

[20:36] <Sean_Carver> <"Sorry... just in a hurry."> <Pets the dog>

[20:36] <Dianna_Newlett> <nods>

[20:37] <Sean_Carver> <"I'll be more careful. So, still lost?">

[20:37] <Dianna_Newlett> <nods, "yes, sometimes>

[20:38] <Sean_Carver> <nods> I know the feeling. Not really being certain about whether you're coming, or going.

[20:38] <Catherine`Carver> <taps her foot impatiently>

[20:38] <Sean_Carver> Oh, sorry Catherine.

[20:39] <Sean_Carver> <Turns, and steps back> <"Catherine, this is Dianna. Dianna, Catherine.">

[20:39] <Dianna_Newlett> Pleased to meet you.

[20:39] <Catherine`Carver> A pleasure.

[20:39] <Karagin_Bell> <watches not scanning thoughs at all, no need, he can guess whats going on.>

[20:39] <Catherine`Carver> <"So this is the girl, Sean? She's cute...ask her out!">

[20:40] <Sean_Carver> <"I... uh...">

[20:42] <Dianna_Newlett> <tilts her head slightly, listening with her eyes>

[20:42] <Sean_Carver> <"She thinks that you and I are.... I mean, that... not that that's a bad thing, rather... oh.... nevermind.">

[20:43] <Dianna_Newlett> <looks puzzled, "I am confused">

[20:45] <Sean_Carver> <"Oh.... well, my sister thought that you and I... rather that I was... I mean..." Sighs, how do you say this....?> <"Herusu, one word, and I'll kill you..." he glances back>

[20:46] <Herusu_Hunter> <"One word? Ok... How about Hypocrite? Heh">

[20:46] <Sean_Carver> <"Right..."> I think I need to go for a walk... <sighs>

[20:46] <Karagin_Bell> <watches the scene not really paying attention to anything else, he snickers a bit>

[20:47] <Dianna_Newlett> What?

[20:47] <Sean_Carver> A walk. <He tries to remember the sign motion.>

[20:48] <Dianna_Newlett> <nods, understanding. signs the word walk for him to see>

[20:48] <Dianna_Newlett> That is walk.

[20:49] <Sean_Carver> <nods, following the sign>

[20:51] <Dianna_Newlett> <stands up, and picks up her bag> I should go?

[20:51] <Sean_Carver> Oh, no? No need. In fact, would you like to come along?

[20:52] <Dianna_Newlett> <nods>

[20:52] <Sean_Carver> <he begins to walk on, waiting a moment.>

[20:53] <Dianna_Newlett> <As if being commanded, Storm stands up and waits for Dianna to start walking. She follows Sean>

[20:53] <Sean_Carver> <"So, why'd you come here, anyway?">

[20:54] <Dianna_Newlett> <thinks for words she can use> Freedom...I think <thinks about the word>

[20:56] <Sean_Carver> Freedom? <"Oh, you left home?">

[20:56] <Dianna_Newlett> No...<"school">

[20:56] <Sean_Carver> <"I see. Too tough?">

[20:57] <Sean_Carver> <"Or just boring?" grins> I could understand that.

[20:57] <Dianna_Newlett> <"The one I left was easy">

[20:58] <Sean_Carver> <"And you brought him along?" Pets Storm.>

[20:58] <Dianna_Newlett> <nods "I had too">

[20:59] <Dianna_Newlett> <"Without him, I have no chance. Without me, he has no trainer">

[20:59] <Sean_Carver> <"I can understand. I'll bet he's just about your best friend too.">

[21:00] <Dianna_Newlett> <nods..."one of the only friends I have">

[21:00] <Sean_Carver> <"Hey, one of at least two." He grins>

[21:01] <Dianna_Newlett> <smiles>

[21:02] <Sean_Carver> <"So, it can't be too exciting around here.">

[21:02] <Dianna_Newlett> <"Not really. It is not at all">

[21:02] <Dianna_Newlett> <"But better than where I have been">

[21:03] <Sean_Carver> <"Well, I guess that's a benefit... still...">

[21:04] <Sean_Carver> <"It's not very exciting here, I'd imagine.">

[21:04] <Dianna_Newlett> <"Not when you have nothing to do">

[21:05] <Sean_Carver> <"So, you don't know anyone here? That's too bad.">

[21:06] <Sean_Carver> <stops> Wait...

[21:07] <Sean_Carver> You... <he sighs> That's so unfortunate.

[21:07] <Dianna_Newlett> <stops abrubtly>

[21:07] <Dianna_Newlett> What?

[21:07] <Dianna_Newlett> <looks puzzled again>

[21:08] <Sean_Carver> You're all alone....

[21:08] <Sean_Carver> <"Sorry... it's just unfair... I mean, I can't see why that'd be so.">

[21:09] <Dianna_Newlett> <"I am not alone. I have Storm">

[21:10] <Sean_Carver> <Smiles> Well, that's a start. <crouchs, petting the dog again> <"But, is that is?">

[21:10] <Dianna_Newlett> <"You mean, is Storm the only person I know?">

[21:11] <Sean_Carver> <"Yeah.">

[21:13] <Dianna_Newlett> <"In Germany, my granmary and pappy live, but....I not understood there">

[21:13] <Sean_Carver> Not understood... I guess I can see why you'd think that.

[21:13] <Sean_Carver> But, I'm sure you really were.

[21:14] <Dianna_Newlett> No. Sent me far.

[21:14] <Sean_Carver> <"But... there had to be a reason.">

[21:15] <Dianna_Newlett> <frowns, and looks down. "They didn't understand. I didn't understand">

[21:16] <Sean_Carver> <"Well, maybe you just needed help..."> I understand, though.

[21:16] <Dianna_Newlett> <Storm licks her hand as though he knows what she went through>

[21:17] <Dianna_Newlett> <"I can't go back">

[21:17] <Sean_Carver> And I think he does too.

[21:17] <Sean_Carver> <"So, where will you go?">

[21:18] <Dianna_Newlett> <shrugs. "where ever the vehicle takes me">

[21:19] <Sean_Carver> <"I see.">

[21:19] <Sean_Carver> <"It sounds lonely... cold... ">

[21:19] <Dianna_Newlett> <"I have no choice.">

[21:21] <Sean_Carver> <"Everyone has a choice... That's one of the wonderful things about human nature." >

[21:22] <Dianna_Newlett> <"But I don't. There are only few places that hire people like me.">

)

[21:23] <Sean_Carver> <"Then... I can help you.">

[21:23] <Sean_Carver> <"If it's a job you want... or somewhere to go, I can help.">

[21:23] <Dianna_Newlett> <"You? Why?">

[21:24] <Sean_Carver> <"Because I can... because you're my friend. Because you need help. That's why.">

[21:24] <Sean_Carver> <"That's how I was taught." grins>

[21:25] <Dianna_Newlett> <looks at him, her eyes full of suprise. "Are there others like you?">

[21:25] <Sean_Carver> <laughs "Of course. Heck, my whole family's like this.">

[21:27] <Dianna_Newlett> <"You are the first person that I have met who hasn't tried to rob me, make fun of me or treat me like I am a plague">

[21:28] <Dianna_Newlett> <"Well, at least, the first person in your world.>

[21:28] <Sean_Carver> <"That's so sad... <he sighs> well, not everyone's cruel, or inconsiderate. You've just been exposed to the wrong people.">

[21:30] <Dianna_Newlett> <"Your world is harsh to people from my world. Anyone who isn't "normal" is taking advantage of at least once">

[21:31] <Sean_Carver> My worl... <"Oh... well, I don't tend to think of them as separate worlds, yours and mine. More like our world." Nods>

[21:32] <Dianna_Newlett> <"But they are seperate. I wish I could say that it was our world, but your world rejected me.">

[21:33] <Sean_Carver> <sighs> Not everyone does. <He tries to mimic her signing a little> <"Just the stupid people.">

[21:34] <Dianna_Newlett> <laughs, which is something she rarely does. It is as quiet as her voice and is very light>

[21:35] <Sean_Carver> <smiles> See, it's not so bad.

[21:35] <Dianna_Newlett> <"I don't think that the people are stupid, just ignorant and opinionated">

[21:35] <Sean_Carver> <"Yeah, you're right.">

[21:37] <Dianna_Newlett> <"I have only met 3 people who are different">

[21:37] <Sean_Carver> <"Well, I can introduce you to a few more.">

[21:38] <Dianna_Newlett> <"I don't know if that could work out">

[21:39] <Sean_Carver> <"It could."> I just realized... <he taps his head> I'm getting used to your signs, and you're getting used to this. I guess that proves something.

[21:39] <Dianna_Newlett> <It takes her a minute to make a response> I guess...so.

[21:41] <Sean_Carver> See? <Thinks to Catherine's earlier comment, and flushes again> Err, anyway, lets keep walking. <he continues on.>

[21:42] <Dianna_Newlett> <nods, walking> I thought ...you in hurry < Remebering an earlier comment he said. Storm whines slightly as his ear perks up>

[21:43] <Sean_Carver> <"Not really.">

[21:43] <Sean_Carver> I was actually running around looking for... that is, I heard a dog, and wanted to see if it was really yours.

[21:45] <Dianna_Newlett> <"oh" Storm slows down a little, and Dianna immdiatly matched the pace without thing about it>

[21:45] <Sean_Carver> <"I mean, if you'd rather I not bother you...">

[21:46] <Dianna_Newlett> <"I don't mind. It is nice to talk to someone">

[21:47] <Sean_Carver> I agree. The only people I've been able to spend time with for the last while have been Catherine, and poor, lovesick Herusu and his own sister.

[21:48] <Dianna_Newlett> <nods, knowing only one of the people he mentioned>

[21:49] <Sean_Carver> <"Nice people, though. They wouldn't think any less of you.">

[21:49] <Dianna_Newlett> <"How can you say that?">

[21:49] <Sean_Carver> <"I know them.">

[21:50] <Dianna_Newlett> <"But..." can't come up with an arguement>

[21:51] <Sean_Carver> <Smiles> Please, don't try to believe that they're also ignorant. <he turns toward her as they walk> <"They aren't.">

[21:52] <Dianna_Newlett> <"every one is ignorant on some things">

[21:52] <Sean_Carver> <"What am I ignorant of, then?">

[21:53] <Dianna_Newlett> <"I haven't figured that out yet">

[21:54] <Sean_Carver> <"I see."> That's reassuring.

[21:54] <Dianna_Newlett> okay.

[21:55] <Sean_Carver> <"It means that, any faults I have, I can still hide."> <laughs>

[21:55] <Dianna_Newlett> <smiles>
