A New Scene (Open)

[Cynthia Alucard]

Pick-pocketing was not a skill Cynthia would had desired to learn, but as it such was where a need came a necessity to survive. Easily outmaneuvering her way through a crowd she quickly spotted an entrance to escape and find her own solace. Fingers trailing the tail end of her hair, lopping it and twirling it between her right fingers. Her eyes fell on her left palm, holding credits she had previously stolen, she felt guilty but she needed to escape and head to her new future. Cyn's eyes found an entrance to a bar, her mind working on the possibility of meeting someone that could help her find the Order and information of joining.

Her dark brown eyes widen as she walked inside, her hands quickly digging inside her black jacket pocket. She was nervous, but kept her head low and let her bangs cover the majority of her face. The feeling of her hair on her skin and cheeks felt somewhat comforting as she motioned around the seats and tables. Finding a spot at the counter she waved down the bartender. Cautiously looking around, "A glass of water please," She ordered.

Her hands tentatively grasped the glass as her own brown eyes narrowed at the water itself. Perhaps, there were too many perhaps in her mind as she thought of several possibilities and plans, but she had made her mind that she would join the Order. A small smile cracked her lips somewhat grim feature as she sipped her glass of water.

Heading into the bar Celiana was amazed at the smell. Alcohol versus the pristine cleanness of most of the Voss Temple. As people milled around discussing business, catching up with old friends, or simply getting a drink like she was here to do. After having crafted her sabers which now sat on her belt above either hip Celiana had gone to one of the bars close to the temple.

Walking over to the bar and extending her senses out around the bar Celiana heightened her senses and then she heard the voice. "A glass of water please." Having ordered her drink Celiana turned to face the fairly innocent sounding voice. Celiana noted as she'd turned that the girl who'd ordered the water had looked guiltily towards her left hand. She also had dug into her black jacket pocket and was now having ordered her glass of water looking around with a look of nervousness mixed with caution.

Laying a credit chit on the bar and grabbing her shot of tequila Celiana walked over towards the young woman at the other side of the bar. Downing her celebratory shot as she walked up Celiana flipped the shot glass and put it down by the girl's glass of water. "Looking for someone young one? Answers or directions perhaps?"

Her eyes kept tracking the amount of water left, as she gently laid the glass down. Distracted with both ideas and dreams, all buzzing madly in her head, that when she heard the sound of bot a glass being set down next to her and another voice that she literally jumped out of her seat. Head swung to face at the new voice, "Looking for someone young one? Answers or directions perhaps?"

Cyn simply opened her mouth and gaped once before she shook off her earlier surprise, "I'm not scared or lost!" were her squeaked words, as she defended herself. "Um, I mean, uh" Cyn mouthed out as she was embarrassed by her sudden outburst and childish actions.

A laugh escaped her lips as she scratched her own head, hoping to ease herself into a polite conservation. Easy, nice and not awkward conversation. "Cynthia, my name, um hi," She stuttered out as she held out her hand. A unsure smile plagued her face as she mustered a bit more brain power to make an actual sentence, "I mean, yes. . . or no? I'm just here to look around the Order is all," Gulping in a staggered breath, Cyn quickly withdrew her hand before even shaking hands.

Cyn realized her error and immediately stuck her hand out once again, "Sorry, I'm just a tad, um, nervous with new people is all," she explained, "I can speak without using the word 'um'. . ." Though she quietly closed her mouth as she stopped her rambling.

Turning to take in the sight of her surroundings and glancing around a bit before finally addressing the girl who was stumbling over her words Celiana said,"A pleasure Cynthia, my name is Celiana and there's no need to be nervous."

"Though I can't help but feel you're here for more than just a glass of water in a bar. So, what brings you to Voss?"

Hands down her side, several breathes in, Cyn now felt a bit more assured. Giving a more serious face, as she figured it would do her know justice to continue her ditsy display. Professionalism wasn't exactly her strong suit, but than again she wasn't exactly sure what was exactly her strong suit. Shaking her thoughts into a coherent order, "I am just here to well," She placed a single finger on her chin, thinking a bit more, "I'm here to join the Order, since I feel as if, well, I can make a home here," she responded.

Giving a half smile towards [member="Celiana"], "I always wanted to be a part of something bigger, you know?" Adding in a bit more honesty, as Cyn herself looked down unsure of what to say next. "So you always come down to this bar?" Cyn asked, beaming towards her new friend.

 

[Celiana]

As Cynthia dropped the ditzy girl act she stated why she was really here. "I'm here to join the Order, since I feel as if well, I can make a home here." She continued her thought she smiled my way and said, "I always wanted to be part of something you know?" Looking my way again she asked if I always came to this bar. Amused at that last question I said, "No, honestly it's my first time here."

Pausing for a moment before I continued I said, "although if you're looking for a Master I might recommend you seek out Master Karen Roberts she has a unique way of teaching about her. As well as possibly speaking with Master Coci Heavenshield she might have ideas as to whom would be available for training you."

"In any case you've come to the right spot if you're looking for a clean slate, new home, or new friends. Although it's possible you're looking for all of the above. We've got that on Voss, though I'm curious as to what your story is and where you've come from to find yourself here in this bar. By the way if you were looking to blend in next time order some food with your glass of water, blending with crowds can be a useful skill as can picking pockets." Glancing towards her jacket where I'd guess she's stashed whatever she'd been holding earlier.
