He chuckled slightly, he couldn’t even recall which memories were human memories and which ones were after he turned.  “It’s a lot weaker than we usually think it is.”  He quirked a brow, not used to someone asking him those types of questions.  “Couldn’t you say that we’re all a mix of both? Running from a past and hoping for a better future?”

“You give very little credit to your species then.” Gen took another drag of her cigarette. “Perhaps. But in my experience, the former usually spawns the latter.”

David frowned slightly when the woman in front of him didn’t reply.  Did she not understand him? Was his accent too thick? He knew sometimes it was but people didn’t just not answer him.  But as soon as she replied he felt himself relax a bit.

“Oh sorry, I just thought you don’t really see people like that anymore.  Catching the snowflakes and all.  And I don’t blame you about staying inside, even I have to admit this is a bit too cold for my liking.”  David threw his hands in the pockets of his coat as he continued walking, hoping that maybe she would continue the conversation along with him.  “So who was that special someone?”

[sealskinwrites]

Hannah nodded, it was a pity that most people didn’t take time to appreciate the little things. Then again, who could blame them?

 “I suppose it’s natural for people to forget to indulge in childhood pleasures when they’re all grown up and always in a hurry. Especially after the war. It’s hard to indulge after that.” She paused.” Well, maybe not for everyone. Some people are just busy looking for other things to indulge in, I s’ppose.”

The man fell into step with her and her fears that he might be some mugger melted away as quickly as the snow falling on their heads. She wasn’t used to talking about Sam and not because she didn’t want to, but because there was no one for her to speak of him with. It hurt too much for Sherwood to remember him and Hannah was so used to walking on eggshells to avoid mentioning Sam to Irene, she just never brought him up to her sister at all anymore.

“My brother, Sam.” She shivered. “When we were little we used to go sledding, race against the other kids. Sam was always on my team. And we had snowball fights. He told me I was really bad at aiming so he always had me making the snowballs and he’d launch them. The little cheat.” Hannah laughed softly to herself. “He liked snow.”

He narrowed his eyes slightly at her first comment.  Seker was careful to not let anyone know about him, was it possible he messed up along the way?  “Some moments in our past are more memorable than others.  I mean remembering every little thing would sure to make you go crazy right?” He tried to avoid the talk of how many years he had on him.  “Oh so you’re a drifter too?  I can never really stay in one place for too long.” 

[sealskinwrites]

She noticed that her words fazed him and began to wonder if she would have to make an excuse to leave the conversation if he became any more.. intense. The last thing she needed was another man giving her problems, thinking he owned her body. “Of course. The human mind can only handle so much.” She tapped her cigarette against the ash tray on the table between them. “Something like that, I suppose. Some would say you’re running from something. Or running to it.” Genevieve met the man’s eyes unflinchingly. “So which one is it?”

[maggie20s]

“Well my mistake, you just look like someone I met once.  Where were you from before here?”

[sealskinwrites]

“Then perhaps one of us doesn’t remember that past as well as we’d like. Too many years can do that, or so I hear.” There’s something reminiscent of a Scottish accent to her voice, but not quite. The only answer she offers is: “I didn’t stay there for too long, I doubt I made any impression worth remembering if that city is where you recognize me from.”

[maggie20s]

“I guess that’s true.  Though I do have to say you look familiar.  You sure we’ve never crossed paths before?”

[sealskinwrites]

“No... I don’t believe we have.  I have an excellent memory.”

I always have a beard between jobs. I just let it grow until they pay me to shave it. People are quite surprised it’s ginger. Sometimes they ask me if I dye my hair and I always say “Wow, no! I’m ‘trans-ginger’.”

Come Under the Covers || Irewood

Irene was out of the orphanage for a couple of weeks.  They all had a plan, they were all going to live together after they turned 18.  They were a family after all and they were going to battle the world together.  However Irene and Sherwood were the oldest out of the quartet so they were living alone until the others joined them.

One night Irene was woken up by the storms outside.  She’d never admit to anyone that she was afraid of the dark, but they all suspected it.  Hannah would always use to let Irene come in bed and sleep if she woke up in the middle of the night, no words needed to be spoken between them.  But Hannah wasn’t here and Irene didn’t know what to do.  

She debated trying to stay in her bed but a crack of lightening scared her otherwise.  She immediately got out of her bed and made her way to Sherwood’s room.  Even though Irene wasn’t at the apartment for long she already memorized the floor plan. Not that it was hard, it was small and run down but was perfect for their situation right now.

When Irene got to the door of Sherwood’s room she tapped lightly before opening the door.  “Sherwood?”  She said both quietly but loud enough where he could hear if he was lightly sleeping.  “I can’t sleep.”  She hated how it made her sound like a little kid, she was always worried that he saw her as the little girl that came in all those years ago.  

[sealskinwrites]

Sherwood was finding it easier and easier to sleep through loud noises since he’d began working at the factory. Of course, Irene could hardly be considered a loud roommate after his short stint at a boarding house or years of rooming with a dozen other boys. 

Still, the thunder and wind outside his window would probably bother him if he didn’t feel worn to the bone after hard day at work. As it was, the noise didn’t even register with him. What did wake him up was Irene’s voice and the sensation of no longer being alone in his room.

He opened two sleepy eyes to see his sister at the door. Of course. He’d almost forgotten Irene’s dislike of the dark. “Yeah.” He answered hoarsely and sat up in his bed, patting the side of his bed. “Wanna sit?”

I’ve Just Seen A Face || dannah

[maggie20s]

David just got back from a night of hard work.  He didn’t mind it and was thankful for the opportunity it was giving him, but he enjoyed his walks home.  He was thinking about his last stop of the night, a local speakeasy where the owners weren’t so keen on The Family involvement.  David was instructed to stop in and try to make them see why protection might be needed, however he got into an argument with one of them.  

He was lost in thought when he saw someone else on the deserted street.  As he walked closer he saw her close up the diner she came out of and she started to catch the falling snow on her tongue.  He couldn’t help but smile back at her and immediately knew he needed to talk to this girl.  

David quickened his steps, not in a threatening way, but just to close the gap so he could make conversation.  “So have you never seen snow before or do you just love it that much?”

[sealskinwrites]

She heard the quickening footsteps behind her and in a moment of panic, Hannah tried to remember everything her siblings had taught her about protecting herself on city streets. “Speak softly, carry a knife,” was Sherwood’s advice, “And thumb outside your fist if you sock anyone, Hannah Banana.”

 “And if it’s a man, aim for his you-know-whats.” Irene had added. 

But the fellow didn’t try to grab her or ask for her money, much to her surprise. For a second, she just blinked at him, processing what he’d asked in the first place.

 “Oh- the snow! No, I’ve seen snow.” She said, relieved. “I do like snow and all... but I think I like staying inside during the snow a little bit more, all warm and bundled up.  I was just thinking about somebody else back there.”

[maggie20s]

“Well it seems I’m not the only one who is new to town.”

[sealskinwrites]

“Well, it’s a fairly large city. I would think the arrival of newcomers isn't that rare of an occurrence.”
