Jake watched from a safe distance, following them. He saw the man, growled softly, then began to smirk as the purple-haired girl forced the man to apoligise. Not once did he notice the blonde shy girl as she ran away. Not once did he notice as she ran towards him. He did, however, very obviously noticed when she bumped into him, and continued to apoligise multiple times.
(OOC: I agree with the plan. Go for it. I figured the girl was Erika and interjected. Was that ok?)

~~Chris Nightshade~~ "Two Words: No Duh" Chris handed the phone back to Ryan. "There you go. Gawd, that is old. I got a Blackberry a few weeks ago. My other was broken. I don't like when people text me though. What's the point, why can't you just call?? I don't know. I like my Blackberry though, cause it's a bit nice. Lot's of memory and you can get on the Internet with it." Chris shrugged her shoulders and put her own phone back into her backpack. She didn't need to talk to anyone on it right now.
But then she saw it. Some guy tripped on a girl who was sitting down on a bench, and his hands fell directly on her chest! And then he walked away, with no apology! Seriously, that got Chris pissed, it reminded her too much of that day... The memory washed over like a wave, and her tears started to well up. "I'll be back in a few minutes," she called to Ryan. "I have to go to the bathroom." Her voice almost cracked. Putting the headphones back onto her head, she cranked the music to 100% volumes. Chris didn't care that it would hurt her ears, she needed to drown it all down the drain. And she started to run. She didn't notice where she was running, but she did notice when she knocked someone down, Chris falling down too.
"Ah crap, this is the second time today. I'm sorry." Her stuff had fallen out of her backpack again. "I should actually take a look where I'm going for a change. Amazing how I do this. Again, I'm sorry. I'm a klutz. I trip over my own too feet also, so it's not just your worst week." She smiled at the boy. "My name is Chris. What's yours??" She asked, giving a sad smile. "I hate when this happens. I bumped into someone just this morning. Everything feel out of my backpack, it was terrible. Just terrible."

The blonde girl was terrified and he could see it. But he didn't have time to talk to her and calm her down - Chris had runt away. As much as he liked helping random people, his friend was more important and she had looked just so... Off. Besides, Raina would deal with the girl if anyone could. It didn't help that she had been saying about going to bathroom, he could see that it wasn't why she was leaving. Did she know the blonde girl? Oh, so many questions. Ryan sighed and rushed after her. "Hey, Chris, wait up!" he called and gasped when saw her bumping into someone and falling.
"Gosh. Chris, are you alright??" he asked, running over to the two and helped her to get back and pick her things, before raising his eyes to the other man. For a moment, he looked truly dumbfounded before grinning from ear to ear. "Jake! Woah, this is a great surprise! I am so glad to see you" his voice truly showed he was happy. And why he shouldn't, if he had finally found his best friend again? Sure, they were supposed to be 'enemies' now but he had never cared much for what his parents thought and he knew that Acacius didn't hate Paracelus at all.
At this moment, Raina bounced up to them, dragging the strange girl with her. "JAAAKE!!" she practically screeched, glomping him and letting blonde girl's hand go for first time. "Where were you all his time? Do you know how we searched for you? I should slap you not hug you, actually! Humph!" she talked more but so fast it was hard to understand. But the boy knew that she was so very happy to see him it might even seem weird. Ryan pulled her back slightly and shook head. "Let him catch his breath but that's right, we were so worried about you," he said. Then he grinned slightly at Chris: "it looks like your bumping ends up in meeting the right people."
The third girl stood behind them, trying to understand what was going on, her face even paler than before but she didn't look like she was about to cry anymore. Not that she was much less afraid, though. This was just so confusing and she had feeling it would only continue to keep like that... She wished she could get away from the group but sneaking off wasn't what she would usually do.

Jake stared at Chris. She was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in a long time. In forever, in fact, but that was unimportant. All that mattered was her.
He was removed from his reverie when Ryan practically glomped him. He glared at the unwanted noise assaulting his ears. It took a few moments, but finally he recognized the man. "Ryan! Good to see you." He didn't sound overly excited, but that was his usual self, and they knew that.
Then Raina glomped him, and he chuckled. "Raina, you're as bubbly as always. And sorry. I was... preoccupied." He didn't notice the blond girl in the back, as she was acting like a shadow.
However, behind his smile was a hidden sadness. And if you looked close enough, you could see it in his eyes. But you would have to look very close, as he had many years to practice hiding it.

~~Chris Nightshade~~ "Two Words: No Duh" Poor Chris, she had bumped her head again, where a very large contusion was already forming. This was not a good day for injuries. But she got them anyways. "Owwww," she cried softly, "My head really really hurts now. And there's a bump already growing there.." She sniffled and wiped her eye. Much to her surprise, when she saw her hand again there was mascara smudged onto it. Her make-up must have smeared from the tears that had started to form. Chris swore, knowing she would have to go and fix that before they could get onto the train.
Chris came back to reality a few moments later. She perked her head up, confused. "Wait, so you idiots already know each other. I'm not talking 'bout you Raina, you're just psychotic. And I do not like crashing into people. It does not make good impressions, and it really starts hurting after awhile. New York City, it truly is the Center of the Universe, and the Universe might not be so small after all." Chris laughed loudly, which made people stare, but hey, who the hell cared. We're kids, we like to have fun.
"Raina, can you come to the Bathrooms with me? We should maybe leave the boys alone for a few minutes to catch up. But hey, what do I know?" Without waiting for a reply she dragged Raina and the other girl to the bathroom area, which was strangely, very clean for a metro station Bathroom. "Thank God, I don't think I could stay in there for a minute longer, I was going to die." She set her guitar case down and put her backpack onto the counter. "Can you make sure no-one steals that? Couple Hundred Dollars are in there." Chris pulled a small pink purse out of her backpack. "Always have your cosmetics bag ready for the ICE emergency." She washed her face off with a wet paper towel and once all the make-up was off, she started to reapply it. "Sorry to get you all into this mess. I've been told before that I am a magnet to drama and all sorts of trouble. And I've also been told that I talk to much. Is that true??" Chris talks constantly when she's nervous. OOC: Sorry for the Godmode ladies. I thought we should steal the girls out of the way for a few minutes and let the guys have a little private time. Except it can't really be private, can it??

His brows furrowed slightly, at Jake's choice of words, his manners over all. And maybe just a little by the way he was looking at Chris. But he brushed it all off, after all, he hadn't seen him in years. And he had missed his friend more than he wanted to admit it. Well, boys weren't supposed to miss buddies like that, were they? That was more like a girl thing. But then again, in all his big friend group, the bubbly black haired girl and this young man were the ones closest to him, the ones who knew more about him than anyone else. After Jake and his father were banished from the Underground, his, Grandfather's and Acacius had worsened dramatically.
He watched Chris drag off the two girls and raised eyebrow, still not believing if he would be able to deal with two girls like she and Raina. Then he turned back to Jake and turned serious. "Look, I know it's kinda wrong for me to just pounce on you but... You know, nothing is the same now when you're gone. We - me and Raina - really miss you. We looked for you everywhere we could... But it felt like you are avoiding us. Is that true? Do you... Really think we think the same as them?" his voice wasn't accussing, more upset at the thought. But these questions had to be answered, though, he expected them to be dodged at the moment.
In this time, other girl was far from being serious. She was practically bouncing against walls, with wide grin on her face. "I can't believe it's Jake. That guy deserves a good punch for all the trouble he has given us. And no, you don't speak too much. Not more than I do. And drama is good, unless it ruins make up," she said, toying with the bag Chris had given to her. She could understand worth of good make up quite well, just as how it was when it was ruined. But it looked like the other girl couldn't. She stood in the corner and then, suddenly, making a decision started walking towards the doors. At them, she stopped and looked back. "Uhm... Look, I am sorry but... but I really have to go... Y-you just keep me dragging around and it's s..." she could not finish as someone walked in the bathroom and unfortunately, the doors were opening on the inside, so crashing into her, or rather her face. Tears sprung to blue-gray gaze as she shot hand up to her nose, feeling something warm dripping out of it. She missed the woman's shout about watching where going and just let the tears roll down her cheeks, trying to open the tap but the tears clouded her gaze and she just burned her hand with hot water.
"Oh God! It's not broken right!?" Raina asked, running to her side to help. "I d-don't know... It doesn't hurt enough to be broken," the girl answered but her voice told completely different story.

Jake watched the girls leave, and stared until Ryan finally broke him from his reverie. "What? Of course you all think like that! It was my mother, and they all just stood there!" He looked at Ryan as flames lept in his eyes and his anger fumed. Seeing Ryan's expression hit him, hard, and his anger dampened. "No... I know you don't... It just... hurt so much... I missed you guys too. Who's the new girl?" The shy and regretful Jake was gone in an instant, replaced by curiousity.
Meanwhile... In a not-too-distant bathroom...
At the sight of blood, or rather the smell, One of the bathroom stall doors opened. A girl with bright red hair that flowed to her waist, wearing black clothes, drifted towards the sink and turned off the tap. She turned on the cold water, and wet a paper towel. "Move your hand. Let me see." She said in perfect english. As the hands blocking her veiw moved, she moved the soaking towel to the girl's face. "This will hurt." She warned as she gently dabbed at the blood. Beneath her pale skinned there was toned muscle, and everytime the other girl flinced you could she it.
(Sorry for the god-mode, but it's how she would act.)

~~Chris Nightshade~~ "Two Words: No Duh" Chris was right about done applying her makeup when the Drama started up again. God, she hated Drama. It was like living in a real-life soap opera, except, without all the bad commercial. She dropped the cosmetics bag, spun around, and almost slapped the woman. Thankfully for the sake of everyone else, she didn't slap her.
"Watch where you're going, you bitch." Chris gave the woman a glare and went by the other girl. "Are you ok? That woman had no right to yell at you. And I'm sorry for dragging you around, I'm blaming it on Raina. I guess you must be having a bad day, no? My name is Crystal, and that's Raina. The two guys you saw were Jake and Ryan, although I barely know everybody." Chris then turned to the other girl. "And who exactly are you?"
The definition for Drama, is when there is a situation or series of events that have vivid, emotional, conflicting or striking interest or results. But this scene truly was drama. So where exactly was reality in all this? Now that, was the question that Chris Nightshade asked through all these events. OOC: It's kinda bad. I had no muse, but it will do for now.

Ryan stood calmly, prepared for Jake's anger in case he wouldn't calm down, though, he had no mood for argue. So he felt rather relieved to see that his friend calmed down. He couldn't say he understood his pain - no one he loved had died. Well, no one he loved that much. His aunt, Jake's mother, had always been nice to him and he had loved her quite a lot, too. But that pain was no where near Jake's, he was sure of that.
"It's alright. I didn't think it doesn't hurt. And that's why we were even more worried," he said and then shrugged at the question. "No idea. Some man 'tripped' and started touching her chest and then walked away without apology and you know how Raina gets when something like that happens. Then Chris ran away before we could find out something more. All I know that the girl is working so she doesn't want to come with us to Ignatus. But you? Do you have a free time for that?" he looked rather hopeful at the other boy.
---
The girl tried to not cry anymore, though, the nose and burned hand both hurt. She was confused and even somewhat afraid. Today she seemed to attract all sorts of troubles. Would it never end? She let the strange, pale woman clean up her nose and her tear clouded gray-blue eyes couldn't show how thankful she was. Currnetly, she with her calm attitude and words was her anchor in this sea of craziness.
She heard the other blond girl curse and winced slightly and then moved a bit away from the newcomer as she felt the blood was cleaned up now. When she started to talk to her, she smiled faintly, obviously not really in mood for that. "Uhm, but she was right... I really shouldn't have stood so close to the door. Though, she could have said it differently..." her voice trailed off for moment before she continued. "My name is Erika Naccari," she swallowed, nervously biting her lower lip, almost adding that she thought they both had very pretty names. "That... Guy. One of them. The one you bumped into. Why he is so sad?" she asked in quiet voice and then shook head. "Never mind. And thank you for helping," she turned to the woman who had helped her.
"Yeah, sure it's easier to blame it all on me," Raina muttered and rolled her eyes but there was amusement not anger in her voice. "I could have introduced my self you know, Chris," she grinned a little but then shrugged. "Stop talking for others, Erika. That woman was plain rude and you know it. It's real luck that you didn't break your nose. But that would be shame - it's quite pretty." She looked at the blond girl judgingly and then smirked. "Hm, in fact, you would look quite pretty overall if you just weren't so pale and we fixed some things about you," she added.
Erika's eyes widened and she quickly shook her head. "N-no thank you. I would l-like to keep my appearance the same," she said quietly and dropped her gaze to the floor. She was sure Raina didn't want anything bad so she felt rude for rejecting the offer. Today really wasn't her lucky day. OO C: Not good but I wrote it about 20 mins after waking up. xD

(OOC: That's ok. I do that too.)
The pale woman looked to Erika, seeming to be unaware of anyone else. She apparently heard everyone else, however, because she replied. "You are truly very pretty. Do not doubt yourself so. Hold still. There is still a bit..." She dabbed at Erika's nose, then smiled. "There. All gone." She threw the bloody towel away And turned to the other two girls. "Sorry about that. I get a little weird around injuries. ... And blood... Anyway" she shook her head "My name is Arianna. I don't know any of you, but I'm pretty much just wandering around. Mind if I join you?" She looked at Chris, then at Raina, then Erika questioningly, waiting for the answer.
Jake glared at Ryan. "And she should get mad. If it was me I would have punched him." He unclenched his fists as he realized his fingers were digging into his palms. He looked at Ryan again. "If you want me to come, I'll come. But don't expect me to enjoy it."

~~Chris Nightshade~~ "Two Words: No Duh" "Erika Naccari." Chris repeated. "Erika Erika Erika. I love your name. Do you know what it reminds me off? You probably don't. If you did that would be really really weird. Anyway, your name, reminds me of a purple butterfly in a gray sky. But that's my wacko opinion." Chris smiled and slung her backpack onto her shoulder. "Yes Raina, of course we blame it all on you. You're so wonderful that way. And that God you didn't break your nose. It is very pretty." She flipped a bit of hair out of her face. "We don't change with people, we enhance. But you do need more sun. " She stared at Erika for a minute, then burst out laughing. "Well I guess you can join us... I don't know for I am not in charge. Raina is." Chris smiled at Raina in that "ha ha" way. "Yeah ask her." She pointed to Raina. "Anyway, I'm going back by the boys." She grabbed her guitar case. "I'll see you back over there." As she skipped out the door she sang something that went kind of like When wilt thou save the people? Oh God of mercy, when? Not kings and lords, but nations, Not thrones and crowns, but men! Flow'rs of thy heart, o God, are they; Let them not pass, like weeds, away, Their heritage a sunless day. God save the people. Her voice was hauntingly amazing. Like an angel. Or a ghost... It made everyone stare, but it seemed that Chris didn't even notice. "Hello boys." She said as she went up to them. "How's it going? So Jake," she turned to him. "Are you going to see Ignagtus with us? I want you to come. It'll be fun." OOC: That is most likely the first time that I've had such a loss of muse. It is scary. I've been over-working it on WOD. Sad.

OO C: WOD? o.o And it wasn't bad. ^^ Erika's eyes widened at Chris words and she bit her lip just a bit harder, having no idea what to answer immediately. A moment later, she gathered her thoughts, though, and answered, her voice slightly unsure but not about what she said but if she should speak at all. "I don't think it's wacko opinion... Just a too pretty for me."
Raina laughed and shook her head. "Is it just me or it seems like you're girl who doesn't know how to answer compliments even they come from heart? Really, I agree with Chris. But isn't she much right lately? She noticed that I am wonderful," she grinned widely and hugged Erika quickly before taking her hand. "And, really, I don't care if you work - you can take one free day. You must come with us - it's such a beautiful day and you look paler than a vampire," she continued and caused the blonde smile a little. "Well, who knows, maybe I am vampire," she replied, thinking about all those unwanted traits that really made her similar to those night creatures.
"You're definitely too nice for that unless you're like one of those weirdos from Twilight," Raina shrugged. Erika shook head quickly, shivering at the thought. "No, I would hate to hurt animal..." she answered. The other girl grinned more and then turned to Arianna. "You sure can come with us, if ya want. We're going to see this awesome street musician, Ignatus. It would be shame to miss it," she winked and then went out of the toilet, still holding Erika's hand so making her follow, tough, a gentler manner than before.
"They both all are coming with us," she confirmed, stopping next to Chris. "Don't make me drag you to him, Jake. You know I can and will do it," her grin turned almost devilish at the last sentence. Erika sighed softly, still not understanding how she could have been dragged in company like this where everybody knew everyone and was just so... Different.
"What's your name?" Ryan asked, looking to the quiet girl, feeling rather curious. She muttered the answer, her gaze flickering from one face to another, trying to take all of them and their emotions in. "Well, then, it looks like Ignatus will have a big company visiting him. And Chris, are you alright now?" boy questioned. He wasn't sure how he would handle them all keeping together without Jake and Erika escaping, in case they had such thoughts, but he was willing to try. OO C: Wutever. xD At least you don't have to wait long for crap.

(OOC: It's not that bad.)
Arianna followed the three girls with her eyes as they left the bathroom. After a few seconds she followed, joining the group like a shadow joins the darkness.
Jake looked at Chris. "Well... Chris. I suppose it's already been decided." He looked at Raina with a coy smile. "I have no choice now." He added, knowing full well Raina's threat could very easily be carried out. He looked to Erika. "What was your name again? I couldn't hear the first time you mentioned it." Jake asked, sounding a little rude and not really caring.
(OOC: I think Jake should get scolded. Eventually.)

~~Chris Nightshade~~ "Two Words: No Duh" "YAY!" Chris smiled. "I'm so glad we're all going and having fun!! I don't really remember the last time I had so much fun..." She got this distant look in her eyes, as if she were in a dream. But it was gone in a flash. "Don't listen to me and my nonsense though. Oh crap!" She exclaimed, "The trains gonna leave without us!!" And so this group of young outcasts ran onto the metro with a passion, 'cause they didn't want to be late. But this, was the beginning of the beautiful friendship between them.
When they were all settled onto the train, Chris went by Ryan and sat next to him. "Soooo... what were you asking before? I forgot..." Although she didn't forget. Chris Nightshade never really forgot anything. She push it to the back of her mind and ignore it for awhile, but sooner or later it popped up again. There were just some things a person could never really forget. OOC: WOD- The World of Darkness. It's a Dice Role-Play and very interesting. And before you ask, no you may not join. TOU say that you have to be 18 to join and I got special permission from the admin to be on there. I'm not even on the main game. Yes it was, and this post is even worse. I should slap myself. Just did. (Owwww). BTW: E needs to get on DS and make the new thread. Or I will mentally shlap you.

OO C: Why you thought I would ask about joining? I am more than busy with Kalisiin, wajas and my forums. xD And stop doing that. *stops Jessi from slapping her self* No violence when I am around. > Even against your self. Your post was kinda cute, especially about the friendship thing... I just think it should have said it was a beginning of a long road that would lead to wonderful friendship... xD And Jake is alright. <3 I likez him, you know that. And Erika won't mind. [explained in post] But every boy deserves a scolding from time to time. ------
Erika liked to stand back and watch everything, not participate because she knew sooner or later she would fall out of the speed of others and would be left alone forgotten. Again. And despite how she let others treat her, she didn't want to get hurt if she could avoid it. But it looked like it was too late to step out already and tomorrow she would get major scolding from shop owner. But it's just one day of maybe a little bit of happiness," she thought, trying to convince her self to feel better.
When Jake asked her name again she nodded slightly. It wasn't first time when she was asked to repeat what she had said. In worst cases, she had to say the sentence over five times to be finally heard and when it was finally heard, she felt like dying would be nicer than this. "Erika Naccari," girl said, trying to raise her voice enough to be heard over the noises of station and others talking.
No one really paid attention to her inner fight, though, as Chris had noticed they were almost too late for the train. Raina grabbed Erika's hand and she was once again dragged off as a doll but this time she smiled. It had been long since she had driven train together with someone. She sat down next to Raina who was happily humming and looking like she was about to burst with happiness.
"So, Jake, I want to know where we could meet you again. I ask this before you can slip away from us unnoticed, if you want that. Because, really, we will want to meet you again," dark haired girl looked at her old friend with wide grin. She hadn't told anyone just how much she had missed Jake, like she never told anyone her deepest emotions. But now there was no reason to hide it, plus, she could mix them with Ryan's thought, so masking them partly.
Ryan watched others thoughtfully before Chris sat down next to him. He gave her a lopsided grin and then shrugged. "Usually, if you don't remember what someone asked, then you don't remember the fact of questioning, too. But you're not usual, anyway," boy paused, looking thoughtful again. "Actually, I asked if you're alright now. You run away crying.... I was worried." he told after a moment of silence. It was no lies, really. They knew each other for a short time but he had already counted her into his friend circle and he always cared for his friends. And she was a girl, possibly a girl with scars from past. He wished to protect her, if just a bit. OO C: Behold the post of suckiness. xD
