Alice looked up at the bartender, a fat, red, bulbous man. "Just a cold beer," she murmured under his stare. Grabbing the beer when it came she slurped at the foam getting down to the beer. She stumbled over to the pool table, the beers she had had at the last three taverns starting to get to her. Slamming her beer down on the table she watched, satisfacted as it splattered all over the green fuzz. "Hope I'm not interupting anything," she laughed hysterically. There was nothing better than being drunk. Walking away from the angry players, she cursed as she tripped over a chair and went sailing to the ground. Her beer mug cracked and the beer fell over her like a shower. No one paid any notice though as she turned over moaning in pain. There was a gash on her cheek from the glass and the sharp taste of blood reached her mouth, startling her into reality. She tried to reach her feet, gripping a table nearby, her knuckles turning white.

ooc; I took pity on you and have decided to join you. xD
“Excuse me, miss, are you all right?”
Contrary to what seemed to be, Kyle had noticed her clumsy ignorance, her ungraceful trip to the ground. His was the offending chair, the object she had tripped over, when he had pushed out from the table. He looked at her now, a mask of mild concern in his eyes. Artificial. He did not show emotion unwillingly.
He uncertainly reached out towards her cheek, hand shaking with his nerves. When her arm shot out and seized a table, he immediately drew back and kept at a distance. His fingers breezed nervously through his long, dark hair, icy blue eyes regarding Alice with slight fear. Sorry. He was sorry.

ooc: Thanks you SO MUCH!
bic: Alice shook her head of black hair, wondering for the umpteenth time that day why she had gotten blue highlights. "I'm fine," she mumbled. Of course then she collapsed to the ground again.

He eyed her skeptically, unsure whether he should press, to make sure she was honestly all right. He frowned dubiously when she collapsed again. “Sorry,” he muttered, experimentally holding out a hand.

I grabbed his hand and pulled myself up, collapsing in a chair next to him. "This place is crazy."

ooc; XD S'alright. [:
He almost collapsed under the weight of her pulling herself up. His arm was skinny—weak—fragile. With a sigh he shook his hand, relieving his wrist. “What do you expect?” he said absently, “It's a tavern…” He stood and looked at her for a while, then grabbed a chair nearby and sat down.
“I'm Kyle,” he offered suddenly, avoiding her gaze. His pale fingers coursed through his black hair again, a nervous habit.

She looked strangely at Kyle, he was nervous, the type you didn't see much of in Taverns. "I'm Alice," she replied, "but call me Capri," her new nickname had grown on her, slowly becoming her real name. she looked at how fragile he seemed to be. She smiled imagining seeing him in a fight, it probally wouldn't end well for him.
ooc: Capri is going to be what Zohn calls her in the book, short for Capricorn.

ooc; I like thatt. [:
He smiled. “Okay. Capri.” He liked that. It was original, different. He caught her watching him and shifted uncomfortably, disliking being watched. He was always watched, never approached. Everyone watched and judged, and judged and watched. They were all on the other side of a glass wall, looking in on him. He was the one in the box, they were all outside.
Stop. Stop it.

She averted her gaze and looked into his eyes, invisioning her own eyes as she did so:
A hollow inside a hollow. Piercing gazes inverted inside a mirror. Thousand of eyes, glaring, penatrating. But black, all the eyes, always black.
ooc: I came up with it on the spot ^.^ I felt the need to do that the Black, always black was racing around in my head and it needed to come out.

ooc; Lol. xD
He carefully turned his gaze away, looking at his shoelaces, at his hands folded in his lap. He was not good at starting conversations. At all. His eyes drifted up to look at the shard of glass wedged in that wicked-looking gash on her cheek. “Are you quite sure you’re all right?” he asked, just for something to say. Something to break the silence.

"Well," she reached up pulling out the shard of glass, "I should be, as long as this doesn't get infected. She cursed silently as more blood came, and she grabbed a cloth to stop the bleeding.

Though he was used to blood - so used to it that it was like his familiar - he couldn't help but wince as she pulled out the small piece of glass, and bled more. The face bleeds profusely when cut, he's heard. Strange.
“Okay.” He looks away again, squirms a little as silence cloaks the air around them.
ooc; Whoa. I changed tenses. o-o

She sighed and looked around the crowded bar, "You want to step out onto the peir, this atmosphere is killing me." She rose from her chair, ready to leave. She was tired of her usual schedule get drunk, pass out, hangover. Maybe it was time she stopped drinking. Wait a second, what was she thinking? That blood had tried to put some sense in her head. She shook her head and waited for his reply.
ooc: That's okay i do it all the time XD

“Okay, sure.” He stood up, nodding agreeably. He strode over to the door, opened it and stepped aside, ever the the gentleman, the figure of courtesy. “After you,” he said with a smile, gesturing through the door. It looked rather strange, such a boy in a tavern. Out of place. But that was what he was, who he was - a boy, out of place in the world.

Alice stared at him strangely when he opened the door for her. No one did that anymore. It was all to old fashioned, the 'lady's first' thing and had died out probally before he was born. But you couldn't correct simple politeness so she stepped outside into the frigid air. Skirt flowing beneath her she walked over to the railing and looked down on the surging river beneath her.
