Slum Streets

Melanie giggled, rushing down the street with Galv and heading towards the tavern. Something seemed so against the rules about this....But she didn't mind. It was exciting! In fact today had been the most exciting day of her life.

Slums Tavern

Soon enough the two had made it to the crowded tavern, filled to the brim with men who were much older than Galv, or even Jason! Melanie looked around but couldn't tell if her brother was here.

"There's so many people..." Melanie said, being shoved a bit by other patrons. She moved closer to Galv, so much in fact that she was brushing up against his coat. She blushed a bit.

[...]

Jason still rather nervous about being between the two girls...And totally unaware that Melanie and Galv have found the seedy tavern....But one problem at a time.

"S-So what is a girl like you doing in a place like this alone?" Jason asked, rather curious.

Hopefully Maize wouldn't kill him.


Narroh Residence

"I'll hold you to that" Kanna said, downing her glass rather quickly before turning back to her wet rag. She thought for a moment.

"You'll have to think of a way to protect my children as well without making them suspicious of anything. Melanie won't be hard, but Jason is suspicious of just about everything..."

Apartment

Crystal giggled, excited (and a bit hesistant). Either way the girl thought for a moment before speaking. "Alright then Sama...How about i play it safe and do a truth. Give me your worst!"

[Two Brothers Pizza Place]

The younger but taller brother tilted his head to the side for a moment as he saw Kxs seemingly staring at his mustache. He didn't know what she wanted, but he sweat dropped because he was kind of an awkward guy anyway.

“Um... so... did you want a pizza pie?”

[Apartment]

Sama grinned, wringing his hands together. The boy was known for his mischievous streak, and a game like truth or dare was a lot of fun for him, since he didn't mind talking about the crazy stuff that happened to him.

“My worst, you say? Heheheh... you forget who you're talking to!”

Sama paused for a moment, rubbing his chin. “Okay... what's the strangest thing that's ever happened to you?”

Because having a job on an airship, being attacked by a steam-powered robot and then going to work for a billionaire in the same day can't possibly be it.

Apartment

Crystal though about the question for a moment, before laughing to herself. "I dunno Sama...I have one,but it may seem pretty weird"

She went silent for a moment, leaning back on her little cot. "I think my strangest moment would have been when someone asked to marry me"

"Someone proposed to you!!?" Colette exclaimed excitedly with wide eyes "Oh how romantic! Who was he?!"

Crystal laughed "Just a boy I knew a few years back in school. "It seems silly now but I remember I freaked about it back then"

Sama's eye twitched for a second and he felt like someone had just cracked him in the back of the head with a brick. (A feeling he recognized, as that had happened to him... twice)

“W-What!?” Sama was clearly shocked, and did not hide it well. He groaned a bit, not at all hiding his feelings well. (Because let's face it, does he ever?) He was torn between wanting to ask a million more questions, and dreading the possible answers.

“That's... um... wow, I never knew...” Sama sighed, looking a bit crestfallen.

He's Sama. He's bound to get tortured. XD

I can't see what you're imagining
-Slums Tavern-

“Nice to meet you, Didymus,” Russel said, nodding to the young man, “So do you work for the aristocracy?”



Galv blushed back a little, holding unto Melanie's arm tightly.

“Hmmm...we could check the booths...” Galv suggested, pointing to the booths along the edge of tavern.



“Oh...no reason...” Erin said, smiling at Jason, “Maybe just...hoping to find someone...interesting...”

Maize continued glaring at Erin.

-Pizza Place-

“Oh, yah!” Jimi said, then pulled out a list. We'll say they got a list of various pizzas to make.

“We need these,” the boy said, “In a hurry, if you can!”

-Narroh Manor-

“You could just say you wanted extra help after the incident with the air ship,” Samuel suggested, shrugging. “Or just say I'm your suitor.”

He did suggest that last part jokingly.

Slums Tavern

It seemed kinda strange that a girl this pretty was all by herself in a tavern....Actually not strange....Suspicious.

Though she was really pretty so he couldn't focus on much more. He then looked at Maize...She was very pretty too.

"You're not going to rob us are you?" He asked with a bit of a smile. It was his attempt at discretely flirting (FYI: Jason fails at flirting)

[...]

"Good idea" Melanie said, following Galv closely (though she really had no choice in the matter) and making her way towards the back of the tavern. Suddenly someone stopped the two, shoving beverages in their hands. Apparently some man near the front won a bet and bought drinks for the crowd.

Melanie looked into the beverage, sniffing it. "What is it?" she asked Galv, just thinking of this as another part of her adventure.

Narroh Manor

If Kanna had any wine left she would have choked on it, turning to Samuel quickly and rolling her eyes. "Pleeease, they would know that was a lie immediately...Though you did say you have a son....Right?"

Kanna was getting an idea, one that she would probably sorely regret very soon.

"How about you say you are the father of the suitor. My daughter is almost fourteen, marrying age in my book. We'll just tell him he's a potential suitor and you need to be around to get to know her."

Apartment

Crystal giggled, obviously not understanding how uncomfortable this made her friend. On the other hand Colette looked in awe.

"Well it's pretty strange, so I never told. He was nice and everything but I don't really want to get married anytime soon. We only dated for a couple weeks after that anyways!"

[Pizza Place]

The younger brother nodded, taking the list.

“Okay! It's-a go! We'll-a have-a your pizza real soon!” He took the list and headed into the kitchen, along with his older, but shorter brother.

Kxs and Jimi were now alone in the front of the pizza place

For a moment.

Then the door opened, and a man in a bowler hat walked in.

[Apartment]

Sama was sweat dropping, but he did give a little sigh of relief. Though he had suddenly lost interest in playing truth or dare. He wasn't sure he could handle any more truths.

“Huh... I never knew... but I'm glad you didn't get married.”

Sama paused. Did he just say that aloud?

-Slums Tavern-

“Rob you? Why would I try and rob you two?” Erin asked, fluttering her eyes at Jason.

Maize drank the second cup of beer that everyone had received, then leaned into Jason.

“I'm thinking...we should...go to your place...Jason...” Maize muttered, now light headed...



Galv frowned, looking at the mug in their hands.

“I think it's beer...” Galv said, “We're too young for this stuff...”

-Narroh Manor-

“I guess I do look too young for you,” Samuel smirked at Kanna, finishing his cup of wine, placing it down on a counter.

“That sounds fine then,” Samuel answered, serious now, “Though we'll have to make sure your daughter and my son are okay with it...”

I'm sure Galv wouldn't protest.

-Apartment-

“I suppose it's your turn for a Truth or Dare then, Colette,” Hammah told his sister, then glared at Sama and Crystal.

Mostly, he wanted to make sure that if either of them gave one, it wouldn't be something that bad.

-Pizza Place-

Jimi was about to try and learn more about Kxs, when he paused, another man entering.

“Oh, sorry,” Jimi said, “We have a big order...you might have to wait...”

[Pizza Place]

The man in the bowler hat gave a paused as Jimi addressed him. He seemed to be staring intensely at the two teens, almost as if he was studying them. It only last a few seconds, and then he grinned.

“Not a problem at all. Tony's a client, and I have no issue waiting on his new employees.”

He paused, grinning from ear to ear. “Let me guess... how did I know you were a new employee of Tony Stark? That's what you're thinking. It's quite simple... elementary, really.”

The man put a pipe in his mouth, and took a puff, then he grinned.

“Judging from the way you're both dressed, you're not from the ritzy part of town, but considering you have a 'large order', that clearly means you've got some money. Now you could be criminals, but I doubt that, as this pizza place is frequented by the military police and no criminal would dare come here.”

He paused, taking another puff. “I also notice your clothes, while a bit old looking, are rather unwrinkled. Since those aren't the type of clothes one would find at a steam cleaners, I have to assume you work with steam – probably as engineer, or someone working in the engine room.”

He took yet another puff from his pipe, and continued without allowing either of them to get a word in edge wise. “Now... we've established you're an engineer, and you have a great deal of money. Tony Stark's primary workshop is a few blocks away, as is an apartment building he recently bought. Word is, he bought it for some promising new engineers... I imagine he'd also give you a food budget. Thus, the simplest solution is that you are two of the engineers he hired.”

He took one final puff of his pipe, before putting it out and stashing it back in his pocket.

“... Well? How'd I do?”

[Apartment]

“Well, it's Crystal's turn... so I guess she can ask Colette!” Sama said, still thinking about what Crystal had said with a frown.

(Slums?) Tavern

“So do you work for the aristocracy?”

Didymus was agitated this man had disturbed his brooding over his drink, and then, after telling him that not too many people around these parts thought well of the aristocracy, then asked if he worked for them.

"I'm just a soldier." he remarked, and tried to get back to his drink.

KxS' eyes widened. That guy was good.

"That was...awesome! You must be, like, a detective or something!" she exclaimed as she adjusted her glasses again. Those things could never stay put.

"Well, I havta say, that was an impressive analysis. But Kay's not working for Stark." Nevex walked into the pizza store dramatically, having overheard the man. "But still an impressive deduction nonetheless...My name's Nevex." The teen stretched his hand out to the man. "Yours?"

Slums Tavern

Melanie tilted her head, looking rather confused at when Galv had just explained to her "Beer? What's that?"

She couldn't help but to be curious, this was all so new to her! She looked into the chilled mug and stuck her finger in it, swishing it around before sticking it into her mouth to taste.

In an instant she removed her finger, wrinkling her nose and shuddering a bit. "Oh it's horrible!" she exclaimed "And people drink this?"

[...]

Meanwhile Jason looked over to Maize, blinking and frowning. He moved to stand, supporting the girl. "Hmm maybe this was a mistake-MELANIE WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING?!"

Suddenly the boy caught sight of his baby sister...Holding a mug of beer.

Melanie looked up and grinned, coming over. "Oh hi Jason!"

"WHAT ARE YOU HOLDING!?" Jason repeated.

Melanie shrugged, handing the mug to Jason (who was now supporting Maize and the alcohol) "Galv said it's called beer, it tastes horrible though"

"Well I would hope so!...Also why do you look like a boy?"

"They're Galv's! I like them!" Melanie explained before turning and looking to Erin. "Who's she?"


Narroh Manor

Kanna raised a brow, glaring daggers at her new bodyguard. "Excuse me,, i'm not THAT old! I could be your sister!"

Don't fight Kanna on this Samuel, you simply won't win.

"Anyways you had better make it convincing. Jason may be a bit upset about it, but i'm he'll get over it. Melanie won't mind, she does as she's told"

She then frowned, looking at the clock. It was getting late. "The children should be in by now....."

Apartment

Crystal looked over to Sama, curious to why he suddenly seem downtrodden. She didn't have a chance to ask though, as it was now Colette's turn.

The girl grinned, standing up and giggling "Okay, since everyone is too scared to i'll do a dare!"

The girl thought about it for a second....She didn't want to do anything too bad. After all she was just a little girl. Suddenly the girl grinned, motioning for Collete for come over. She then whispered something to the girl.

Collete suddenly burst out into a fit of giggles.

"Her dare will come later...When you all least expect it...." Crystal laughed.

[Pizza Place]

The man in the bowler hat chuckled a bit at KxS' reaction. She seemed impressed, and he bowed to her quickly, as was the commonplace of the aristocrats – though he was not one of them.

“You are correct! I am a detective.”

Then, another young fellow entered the pizza place, and the man in the bowler hat chuckled.

“Well, no one can be right 100% of the time. Though I have to say, with the evidence in front of me, it was obvious as to why I'd assume they both worked for Stark... still, an important lesson one is never too old to learn – assume nothing.”

He took Nevex's hand and gave it a shake.

“My name is Sherlock.” Mr. Holmes grinned.

[Apartment]

Sama was a bit curious as to what kind of plan Crystal had cooked up with little Colette, but he just grinned and shrugged. He knew that Crystal wasn't as mischievous as he was, and she wouldn't have the little girl do something TOO horrible.

He chuckled, and leaned back. “You know, as much fun as this is, I'm starving! I wonder where Jimi and Kxs disappeared too?”

-Tavern-

“Soldier? Fine profession,” Russel said, taking another swig of his drink, “Ever hear about this Section Three? Going around, trying to help the slums. Think they're actually trying? Or just the aristocrats trying to look good?”

-Pizza Place-

“Good to meet you, Sherlock,” Jimi said, shaking Holmes' hand, “What are you doing here though? Getting pizza too?”

-Slums Tavern-

“Some guy just shoved them in our hands,” Galv protested, then tossed his backwards, the beer hitting a man in the back of his head.

“Hey!” the man grumbled, turning, then slugging another man, who he had thought had thrown the beer. The other's men's friends then attacked him, and soon, things seemed to be escalating.

Maize scowled, stepping forward, suddenly picking someone up, throwing them into the crowd, and began a slightly drunken rampage towards the door, getting her anger about Erin out of her system, and simply enjoying beating people up. Plus, clearing a path to the door.

“She seems awfully violent...” Erin muttered.

-Narroh Manor-

“Well, I am forty...” Samuel smirking slightly, “Perk of my ability...I don't age...”

He then paused, thinking, “If we need to make it convincing...I can talk to my father. He used to be a big shot inventor...”

-Apartment-

Hammah frowned, thinking that Colette's dare would end badly for him.

“Alright then...my turn!” Hammah said. “Ummm...Truth!”
