“where are we?” “someplace they won’t find you.”

“Nice to meet somebody else who isn’t well travelled. You know, as sad as it is.” He chuckled slightly, although the reason behind his own really did just happen to be sad. “Just maybe not all in one day. I don’t know about you but pizza all day doesn’t sound all that pleasant.”

-- -- he shrugged, momentarily letting his gaze stray back to the apartment complex. “i’m starting to think that it’s not too tough to find people who haven’t gone many places.” at least, not with the lot they’d been put in. “yeah, not in one day alone,” joe agreed, pulling a disgusted face as he looked at the other male again. “that’d be way too much eating and walking, but starting it off now at least sounds like a plan.”

“Yeah, I sing too. And with enough motivation I also dance. I’m more than just a one trick pony, mate.” Enzo’s tone was a mixture between sarcastic and amused as he looked at the brunette. A couple of times he would get in trouble for talking to the patrons, but this was one of the shops that didn’t mind it. He tended to attract a few more regular customers that they might not have. He was pretty sure it had something to do with his accent. “Ever heard of an acoustic cover? I’m sure I can figure something out for the next time you come in." 

-- -- “well, if that’s the case, then you’re starting to sound like a prime contestant for STAR SEARCH,” he smiled a little as he spoke. back in ohio, they didn’t really have this kind of thing. there weren’t people willing to entertain in the few coffee shops around town and even if there was, joe doubted that the shop owners would take the sticks out of their asses long enough to allow something like that. “yeah, of course,” he gave a one shouldered shrug, shifting in his seat as he looked at the other male. “but i always imagined mickey as more of a clap && singalong kinda song, y’know ??? i saw go for it, though, because that’d be something to see, for sure.”

“Couldn’t agree more.” His home wasn’t a place he could call such a thing after all the lies, not to mention the damage. Being away from there was most definitely a good thing. Despite how unsafe who knew this place could possibly be, it still had promise. “Chicago? It was once famous for something? Something good, I mean.”

-- -- it was almost BIZARRE how many people he’d met who didn’t really know what the states were. it was one step closer to proving that there was something extremely weird going on. “chicago kind of still IS famous, dude. middle of the country and far north -- it’s still right where it’s always been. i’m gonna guess that you’re not exactly from around here, are you ??? ”

“London,” Wendy replied, sighing quietly as she tried to pull herself together again. “I have been traveling by train and then ended up in this strange place… Stonefield. But this here isn’t Stonefield anymore - right?”

-- -- “if you took a plane, then you could get back to london, but... definitely not by train anymore.” joe shook his head, thinking back on stonefield and how odd it’d been for himself when he appeared in a town on a completely different continent. “new york city, new york -- we’re in america now.”

//& ooc. i’ll be online right after i eat dinner buuuuut -- i’m seriously considering taking up a second character now that i’m more into the groove with this group. my first thought is maybe a slightly aged up louise miller from teen witch (bc i’m 80′s movie trash) with brie larson as the fc but i’m not sure ??? i’d love to use brie, but i’m open to any suggestions for other characters from shows or movies. i’m into a ton of random stuff, but a lot of sitcoms, comedy or horror films, and i’d be cool playing another male or a female.

she felt like that was a bit of an understatement. but rough childhood was good way to sum up being a prisoner on an island for something you didn’t do and eating scraps for your entire life. ‘ right on the nose with the rough childhood. we just weren’t GOOD enough for things like chocolate. ’ though she had on sort of a amused smile at how the boy was amazed that they she never had those things. she wasn’t even sure if she’d like them at all. but she’s heard amazing things. so why the hell not?? ‘ alright. i’m up for that. hey, mind if i bring my sword with me?? ’ she patted the hilt that stuck a little behind her shoulder as she had it strapped to her back. ‘ some kids have a blanket, others have a teddy bear. i have a sword. makes me feel safe you know?? ’ she planned to bring it anyways. there was no way she was leaving it behind.

-- -- he couldn’t discern whether or not she was kidding around with the rough childhood bit ( it was the ‘ good enough ’ part that got joe ), but at the end of the day, it wasn’t really his business. not his business && not something you asked about in the middle of a busy street. maybe later, joe considered, knowing that he’d swapped crappy childhood stories with plenty of teenagers over the years -- even if he had the nagging feeling that hers was quite different. the LITERAL SWORD hanging from her back added to that effect. “well...” joe’s eyes narrowed as he tipped his head, getting a better look at the hilt and the metal form pressed to the other. “i guess there’s a lot of weirder shit going on in NYC than a girl with a sword.” he shrugged, a small smile finding its way back onto his lips. “but i’m gonna say now, if we get kicked out of a restaurant, i’m blaming you. i think i saw a 24/7 diner down the road.” joe gestured down the street, the neon sign visible a few blocks away, and started to take a few steps in that direction.

“wow, well you are just like a walking, talking thesaurus but what is bigger than big is the feeling of having a new job where there isn’t any hotting or wolf-whistling.”

-- -- “well, i took my SATs this past year, so i’m really reaping the benefits of it now. -- that sounds like great news, though, seriously. what kind of job do you have now ??? ”

“but he was a nice guy, i didn’t think it was a bad thing…was it a bad thing?” bambi hoped it wasn’t a bad thing because he’s never done anything bad in his life; he didn’t want to be rude and reject the nice man’s offer. “i only ate half of it, i saved the rest for later. why, would something happen if i ate the whole thing?” he laughed and smiled, “of course, the world is so great, right? and it’s not just the world, it’s the people and the animals and the trees and just everything in the world.”

-- -- “it’s not really BAD, but it is pretty damn naive. i mean, you get told as a kid not to take candy from strangers, so i’m like, ninety-nine percent sure that applies to baked goods as well.” there were exceptions that joe could already think of, because he’d accepted plenty of things ( that in retrospect, he probably shouldn’t have ) while at parties from nearly-unknown acquaintances. this dude, though, clearly had no idea what he’d done. joe wore a matching grin and he shook his head as the other male went right along laughing more. “it’d depend on your tolerance and who made the brownie, but i’ve had a few friends get pretty fucked up from edibles. at least now you can get H I G H again later, if you want.”

“Trying to be a typical New Yorker here, I see. Might take you some time to find the best, don’t you think?”

-- -- “i think the real new yorker way might just be picking any joint they think is decent and arguing with anyone who says otherwise. i’m willing to put in the time, though, because why not ??? if i’m gonna eat pizza for the rest of my life, i might as well have a goal.”

“obviously,” orbs dancing on the dirty sidewalk, “i can google it if you want? there’s gotta be a place near by! plus i really could use something to eat.”

-- -- “you ever see ELF ??? ” joe glanced over at the blonde, a slim smile slipping over his lips. “i don’t think we’ll be able to find a pizza place that doesn’t say it’s the best in the city, but google’s a good place to start. anywhere close by -- i’m down.”

“She glared at me for a bit, but I ignored her… Then she got off at the next stop… Lazy piece of… Anyways… I survived.”

-- -- “at the end of the day, surviving is what counts, right ??? i’m glad you didn’t wind up tearing a stranger to shreds, though. i’ve seen some of those subway fights on youtube and they look like they can get pretty rough.”

“It’s definitely different here. Wouldn’t say it’s a bad thing though. Rather good actually.” Caleb grew up in a city, slightly different to this one in many ways but a city nonetheless. It was interesting for him to see as back home he wasn’t quite sure if New York even existed anymore. “Why’s that?”

-- -- “certainly not bad. i’d be willing to say that it’s better than just about anywhere else right now.” ‘ better than home ’ was really what joe meant, but it was easier to just agree and keep on going. except, when he was being questioned, he was left raising his eyebrows in a confused look. “because new york’s famous for its pizza. well, new york and chicago, but i’ve never been a fan of deep dish.”

//& ooc.  wellllll, i just watched the blair witch project for the first time ( 80 years late wow ) and boy was that a trip. i’m going to be staying up watching a ton of spooky movies i’ve already seen while working on replies && stuff like that, so pleeassse lemme know if you want to plot or do anything, because tbh i’m probably not sleeping tonight.

“ Exactly!” She exclaimed happily, because well…she was home. New York was her home, true she had only visited the actual city with her mother once or twice….but it was still home. Her mother had told her about the giant sky scrapers and towers, the statue of liberty holding her arm and torch up high, people and cars going by, as lights twinkled at night time, and of course the best pizza ever. 

‘ C’mon, my mom told me where to get the best pizza. She used to live here, I used to live in New York too but not in the city, but….I know enough. I’m Celia.”

-- -- “have you ever been into the city before ??? ” he asked with a curious look, but even if she hadn’t been, joe already felt ready to fall in step beside her as they went on the search for this infamously good pizza place. this blonde -- CELIA, she’d informed -- had an oddly positive attitude ; like she had pep in her every step and it was a far cry from some of the people joe’d met in the apartment complex so far. it felt refreshing. “i’m joe,” he introduced himself with a grin, glancing ahead of them. “this is definitely my first time in new york -- in any big city, actually. i’m from ohio. i’ll take a wild guess and say that you’ve probably never been there, right ??? ”

“Tell me about it. Haven’t been to many places in my life but this is most definitely one of the best.” He nodded, although who knew how long that would actually take. “I’d have to agree with you there. Hope you’re a patient person though.”

-- -- “that would make two of us, then.” joe flashed the other male an easy, although unamused smile. he wasn’t quite twenty yet, but considering all things he hadn’t done and places he hadn’t seen still left a sour taste in joe’s mouth. “patient enough to go around trying a ton of different pizza until we’ve crowned the best ??? hell yeah. i don’t know anyone who wouldn’t have the time for that.

though it didn’t show, she was excited about where she had ended up. new york city. she’s never actually heard of it but the place seemed cool. ‘ i guess.’ she said taking her eyes away from her surroundings and onto the male. ‘ never had pizza before. oh! can we get like chocolate or something? haven’t had that either. ’ even though she tired really hard not to, there was bit of an excited tone to her voice. it made her sound like a kid. something she never truly was.

-- -- “ WHOA, whoa !!! hold up -- ” a hand slipped from joe’s pocket as he held his palm up at the petite brunette, his expression reading a mixture of amazement && confusion. “first you’re telling me that you’ve never had pizza, but chocolate, too ??? you must’ve had some kinda rough childhood.” he was mostly teasing as he tsk’d quietly, tongue clicking and head shaking. he never would’ve thought that he’d see the day that he’d meet a human being who’d never gotten to enjoy pizza, but than again, joe had thought a lot of things before he wound up with this mysterious group. “i’ll change my vote then. we should get pizza and milkshakes, yeah ??? you could get chocolate or something.”
