Re: Runic

[Rose Hathaway]

"Nope. You were bitching about taking it off, so I'm letting you put it back on. So shut up and put it on and wait until my shirt is dry and I'll put my own on, or I'll put it on for you." She finished up with the dishes and moved on to tackle the laundry in his room. She gathered up the light colored clothes and dumped them in the washer before depositing in soap and starting it. She came back and helped herself to another cookie in the jar and sat on the table to wait out the washer. "Mind if I use your phone?" Sam asked, changing the subject.

"Okay fine. You're stubborn like a donkey you know." Wayne leaned down to pick up the shirt and put it on. The plain white shirt covered up most of his scars but being a short sleeved shirt it left the scars on his right arm exposed. In response to Sam's question Wayne told her, "Yeah go ahead, the phone right over there on the table by the couch." Although he wouldn't say it out loud he was happy to get his shirt back on. He also wasn't going to complain about Sam remaining shirtless either.

James just sighed, before entering his apartment building. His parents shouldn't be home yet, so he could probably relax, and figure out what to do.

[Rose Hathaway]

Sam hopped up and wandered where the phone was. She dialed her home phone number and waited until her mom picked up. "Mom, I'm spending the night at Kaizo's house tonight."

"Excuse me?! I told you no sex until marriage!!" Wayne and Kaizo could hear the screaming from there.

"Mom! Calm down! It's not like that at all! I'm helping him with a history project! It'll just take a while because of the research, and he wanted to get it knocked out. I'll sleep on the couch. No worries." Sam said reassuringly.

"Are his parents going to be there?"

"Yes."

"Let me talk to them."

Sam shot a glance at Wayne, who was older than they were, and mouthed "Help me."

"Um, here's his dad." She continued, and handed the phone off to Wayne.

James made his way upstairs, rubbing his head, s he tried to thing of a way to explain his burnt shirt.

[blackoutEquinox]

Wayne picked up the phone and decided that since Kaizo looked Asian enough that an accent might help make this more believable as the asian accent Wayne could pull of was pretty believable.

Wayne brought the phone to his head, "Dah, Herro?"

"Who am I speaking to?" he heard from the other end.

"You are peaking to man in char around here."

A sigh, "Okay sir, just make sure daughter is home by noon. And if she get's pregnant at your house I'm suing you."

"Das okay, das okay, No da worry."

"Goodnight."

"Goodnigh."

Wayne hung up the phone and looked at Sam, "I think she bought it." He flashed her a smile to show his confidence.

[Book the Hero]

As James walked down the hall, he suddenly tripped over air, hitting the ground, and causing a loud thud sound.

[Rose Hathaway]

After he hung up, Sam died laughing. "That accent was perfect! Mom won't know a thing!" She said through her giggles. Finally, she calmed herself down to say "Okay, so, I'mm staying over here because I'm bored and don't want to go home, and I want to finish the laundry. Maybe do some other cleaning too. OCD. Also, you dryer's a piece of shit so my shirt's going to take a bit, and Mom would be pissed if I walked home that late. So yeah. Kaizo, you should stay too!" Sam grinned at both of the boys.

[blackoutEquinox]

"Well this will be interesting to be sure. And I'll help with the cleaning, after all this my little slice of apartment heaven. And don't insult my dryer, it's a cool colour." He was starting to walk back to the kitchen when he heard a thud outside his door. He thought it was probably someone that dropped something and they might need help. He unlocked the door and looked outside to find a kid laying on the floor. But it wasn't just any kid, it was the fire starter from earlier. "Oh shi-"

[Book the Hero]

"Ugh..." James said, trying to pick himself off the floor, when he heard a voice from nearby. "Huh...?" He said, turning to the boy.

[Rose Hathaway]

Sam heard Wayne's swear and came up behind him as she pulled her hair up in a ponytail, not really cariing who saw her in her shirtless state. "Oh look. Is this the high school reunion before high school even finished?" She said, shrugging. "Kaizo! Your attempted murder victim is here!" She called in before turning to the boy on the ground. "Don't worry, I won't let him hurt you." Sam smiled gently at the boy.

She went into the kitchen and grabbed an Oreo before returning. She handed it to the boy. "You alright?"

[Book the Hero]

James paused when he saw her. It was the girl from earlier, only now topless. He could feel his face going red. "Uuuhhhh..."

[blackoutEquinox]

Wayne had his hand in his pocket by the time Sam go there. The cold metal of his butterfly knife reassuring his worried nerves. He wasn't worried that the fire starter would hurt him, more that Kaizo would hurt the fire starter. "Hey Sam, are you sure you don't want the shirt?" Wayne questioned the girl. He couldn't understand why he was already starting to get defensive over a girl he had just met. Likely because his life was going to be more exciting from now on. When the fire starter looked up and saw Sam, Wayne had to hold in a laugh.

[Rose Hathaway]

"Take the cookie if it'll keep your jaw from hitting the ground." She said, smilig a little more mischievously. Sam took the cookie and stuck it between the boy's teeth. "Eat up." She laughed. She was blatantly ignoring Wayne's question. He knew what her answer would be.

[Book the Hero]

James mouth closed, chewing the oreo, not understanding why a hot topless girl was now standing in front of him.

[blackoutEquinox]

Wayne walked over to help the kid up. He grabbed the kid under the armpits and pulled him up to his feet. While he did so he whispered quietly enough so that only the two of them could hear, "Hands to yourself." When that was done Wayne's hand returned to his pocket, ready to pull out the blade and flick it open in a moment's notice.

[Rose Hathaway]

"I think the fall broke him or something. Or he's not a talker. He was a lot more interesting earlier." She said. "We should bring him inside! He can be part of our slumber party too! Although cleaning isn't that much of a party, and we'll have to keep Kaizo from trying to bandage rape you or something, but still! Maybe it'll fix him! What's your name again?" Sam rambled a little with a smile on her face.

[Book the Hero]

James shook his head, trying to snap himself out of it. "Um...James." He said, smiling as he introduced himself, while trying to ignore her lack of a shirt. "Um...weren't you...wearing a shirt earlier...?"

[Rose Hathaway]

"In the dryer. Got wet." Sam shrugged. "Not a big deal."

[Book the Hero]

"Ok..." James said, still trying to ignore it.

[Rose Hathaway]

"So, are you alright?" Sam asked finally.

[blackoutEquinox]

Wayne motioned for them to get inside before someone noticed and called the cops on him. Having an underage shirtless girl in your apartment is usually frowned upon in this establishment. He laughed a little bit at Sam's answer to Jame's question. He was starting to get used to her demeanor and was starting to actually enjoy. "Okay just so everyone knows, no fighting in this apartment or else bad things will happen to good people." He hoped that threat would be enough to stop something for a while.

[Rose Hathaway]

"Yeah, what he said. I'll squirt you all with squirty nozzley thingy that's in the kitchen sink. Then you have to wander around shirtless too while I dry your clothes. Actually, I'll leave your shirt dry and squirt your pants. That'll really make you feel like shit while that's drying. I hope you all wore underwear. If not, sucks to be you. So don't fight." Sam snapped.

[Book the Hero]

"Yeah my wound healed somehow...but my shirt is now burnt..." James explained. "What was up with that, anyways?"

[Rose Hathaway]

"With what? Your shirt burning? Ask Kaizo, he's the Runic here. I'm just the companion. I'm Sam by the way." she said.
