On my own (OPEN)

[Steven Todd Reidell]

Nobody had kown about Steven's wereabouts recently. He had been missing for a month. He left his house after a confrontion with the millitary and barely escaped. He had to regenorate at least ten times. The millitary wanted ot capture him. He wanted to live. He had to make sure his ghost form kept his mortal body alive. Two long months. He was now 21. he lost everything. All he had was money and a gun. He had money because he got a frsh stash of money when his regular form regenorated. He also could get things iwth a snap of his fingers. He was one of the first monsters in Nova City. He just was having trouble. He was pretty sure about fourty millitary personel died at his hands. They decided ot leave him alone. He had gone back to his appartment. It had been ransacked! Almost anything he owned was gone. What could he do? He hadn't seen Seamus or Rose in some time so he doubted they could help. What would be do?

[Rose Scarlet]

"I am sorry Miss, but we are very busy today. If you don't mind I can site you with another one sitter and you can dine with them," one of the waiters spoke. "Yes, that is just fine," a young voice replied with a sweet voice. Footsteps sounded behind Steven and came to a stop at his table. "If you don't mind miss, this is the only open place we have at the time, please have a seat her, I will be back shortly to take both of your orders." With that the man in black and white walked of to see to the other customers. Rose still stood at the side of the table gazing at the man with warm blue eyes. "Good Evening," she said with a small bow of the head, "I hope you don't mind but due to their very busy setting I am required to sit next to you, please forgive my intrusion."

Rose walked over to the empty seat across from Steven and she drew it back. She moved her long black hair out of the way and took a seat. She had on a light pink shirt and white skirt with peach colored flats that had white bows on them. When she was seated at the table she lifted the menu and started to scan the options for a meal.

Steven snickered remebering the fellow monster. He said silently "Rose its me, Steven." His once fabulous suit was not slighlty ragged. There were dirt stains on the over coat and places where threads hung out. He must of looked like a fool in this outfit but, he didn't have much else to wear. He now wore sun glasses often to hide his eyes from the monster hunters searching from him. Good news was, he was still a ghost so he would survive. His command of his powers had improved as well.

He stared at the menu nad knew what he wanted. He needed simply a Cesear Salad, Shrimp Alfredo and a diet coke. It would keep his human form substained. Thank god he didn't need to feed two forms like other monsters did. He dropped his sunglasses and his green piercing eye imediated stared at Rose. He hastily picked up his sunglasses and slid a piece of blank paper under the table to Rose. He was hoping she'd write something on it and pass it bakc to him. These times were far too dangerous to take risks.

[Rose Scarlet]

Rose had said nothing to the man after sitting down for she had nothing to talk about. She noticed his mattered clothes and wondered why he was out in public with such mangled clothes. She knew it was not her place to ask or to comment about such things, so she didn't. She remained silent and just looked at the menu and it's many chooses. Then she heard the sound of something drop in front of her. Naturally she picked over the menu and glanced at the man. She meet his vibrant green eyes and then hide once again behind the menu. She had seen eyes such as that before when she meet a man in the underground tunnels in her attempt to hide from a growing storm that day. Once again, she remained silent and looked over her food chooses, when she felt something hit against her leg. It felt like paper and she amused it was the man in front of her. Not knowing what else to do, she grabbed the paper from under the table and glanced at it from behind the menu. Seeing their was nothing on it, she lowered her menu and glanced at the man with a puzzled blue gaze.

Steven knew he confused Rose. Rose didn't recall the time they met in the Cafe and she ate his human form to survive. He just reconstructed his body and thatvwas that. He mouthed to Scar "Write on it to communicate. Things here are too risky." He hoped she got the message. He know one thing, she slightly reconized him. Yes he was deceptive as ever and he enjoyed it. If he was going to remake his name he'd need help, Lots of help. He raised an eyebrow nad purposefully dropped a pen. He hoped this would move things along. He flashed a brief smile nad knew the state of his clothing drew attention to him. He would fix that later once he got home to clean up the mess. It would be cetainly interesting to see what wasn't stolen or broken.

[Rose Scarlet]

Rose watched his lips and understood his words, but her question was why? Why could they not just talk like the rest of the groups. Many people were socializing and having a great time, but her dinner partner choose to write on paper and pass notes as if they where in middle school. Rose found it to be silly and was going to do it because she didn't want to and she didn't have anything to write with, but that was change when the man across from her dropped his pen. Rose got the hint that he had done so for her and did as she asummed to do. She reached down and gentle picked it up with pale hands. Seatting back up she placed her menu flat on the table and began to write. "Why on earth must we do this? Can you no speak or do you not want to? When she was done she slipped the paper and pen across the table to him and picked up her menu and began to look at it once again.

[Steven Todd Reidell]

Steven got bakc the paper and read it. he said out of nowhere "To see Rose if you would be willing to communicate." The waiter came over and asked Are you ready to order? He replied 'No sir. Can you please come back in acouple minutes while I decide." The waiter walked off and he asked "I doubt if you remeber me or my name Rose-" He took out the one thing Rose or Seamus would remember, a bloody rag. "however, that may jump start your memory." He was rather nervous bringing out this object. It was so small that nobody within a five foot radius of them could see it.

He removed his sunglasses and placed them in his pocket. He was ready to talk to Rose and everyone he once knew. He had to in order to resotre his old life. He snapped his fingers hoping for something good and out of the blue a rose landed on the table. Not what he had in mind but, it worked.

[Rose Scarlet]

Rose looked at the man in surprise. One of her questions were answered now, the man could talk that was for sure, but once again another soul calmed to know her. The man spoke as if they had meet once before and again the same reaction came from Rose. She was puzzled and confused about the sight of the man and she was sure he was a stranger to her. Rose watched as he drew out a bloody rag that's stench forced her to cover her nose with both hands. The fallow smelling things was stomach turning and she wished the man to put it away before any other gaze could rest upon it's ugly look. To make matters even more confusing and more outrageous. A random rose came out of nowhere. No hand had placed it on the table and no one seemed to be looking in the general direction to have placed it on the table. The waiter had not left it, that she was current of. The only thing left was the man, he must of done something. "Sir, I don't know you and I don't believe we have ever meet. Please put that rag away it makes me want to vomit and also, you are terrifying me with this magic trick you are doing. Please stop." Rose was rather tempted to get up and leave. She could have a fine meal at a cafe and have it in peace, but she would feel horrible for leaving the man.

[Steven Todd Reidell]

Steven was certainly confused. Was this the wrong Rose? He said "Dear god i must have the wrong Rose. Unless you know a perosn named Rose who knows a young man named Seamus. I need to speak to him as soon as I can." he snapped his fingers and the rag disappeared. He had to be careful. She could be just human. He added "Magic trick? That is no majic trick it is simply a gift. Ask for anything and i promise it will appear on this very table." He was rather confused by this girl. She clearly didn't know him. He must be scaring her. he wanted to appoligize for his actions but, he didn't know how to. He rag was certainly gone. He had no idea what the bloody thing symbolized let laone what it ment. He certainly lost much thought while he was gone.

He needed to remember what this Roses last name was, that would help. He tried to remember. It was Scarlet! Her last name was Scarlet! He hoped she was Rose Scarlet. He had na order for the waiter now. When would he come back around? Oh well he must try to make things noraml again. He was nervous and he knew it. He snapped his fingers and he had a mento. He popped the mento in his mouth and he waited. He still wondered where all this stuff came from. It was not stolen because he checked police reports all the time. So it had to be created out of nowhere.
