Alice put her phone on loud as she placed it on her table by her bed. She was exhausted. She stripped off her clothes and she put on a long t-shirt before she laid down softly. Usually she had to have her blanket over her, but she didnt care today. Her eyes closed as soon as her head hit the pillow. Hopefully in the morning, she would have a job.

Tossing and turning was a typical thing for Alice. She shivered during the night, but she had no desire to pull the blankets over her slender body. She talked a few times, but it was all garbled and nothing made sense. Her phone was what woke her. Blue eyes fluttered open as she sat up rather quickly, which made her head spin.
"Hello?" She asked softly. The person on the other line was a man from the bakery. She had gotten a job and they wanted her to start right away, as in today. Alice was required to wear a dark purple shirt and blue jeans. Good thing she had that outfit. After a quick shower, Alice was dressed and heading out the door. She had to get there so that her boss could train her. Turns out the guy working their before her had quit last night so they hired her. At least she would be bringing in money, even if the hours were ungodly.

(Do you have any ideas of how for us to start getting the action off? )
Kier wasn't sleeping, he was instead, writing, as he always did. By his bed, which he never really used, were almost a hundred, leather bound books. Some decrepite and old, and worn, like they were centuries old. But the one in his hand was knew, and he was writing it, in a very old style of script. The wind picked up through the open window, blowing some of the some of the other journals open, revealing the same style script. Apparently, he had written it all himself. "Dear Conrad, Today has been a strange day... the tar in my body is indeed chewing away at me. Not even my powers can halt the spread of it, and my body is beggining to show signs of death. I cough up what little blood I drink, and my bile is mixed with some of my spectral blood... clearly if nothing is done, I will die. Too bad the last 30 years have not risen my strength to stop this damnable smoking... whenever I let go, my body goes into seizures, and my thirst burns at my insides. Maybe this is how the humans beat us... to them, 20 years of suffering chews them out quickly, but... to me, well... nothing has ever been the same. I met a woman today, she was young, and pretty, not like the plastic creatures that smell like toxins from the bowels of the earth. She smiled at me, and I found myself... polite. Strange I know, I'm still wondering how I could have actually acted within bounds of morality. " Kier paused to cough, but it was must stronger then last coughs, and blood and bile splattered all over his hands. Cursing softly, he stood, knocking his journal off the bed, as he stumbled weakly to the sink cleaning his hands and then his face.... Returning to the bed, he looked out the window onto the street. "It's her...' He whispered seeing the girl- no Alice, that what was her name, walking down the street. |

[ Hmmm...... Kier could always follow Alice and see where she is going. Then he could...Idk really....Do you have any ideas? ]
Alice was rushing to get to the bakery. She had to get to the subway in less than two minutes. There was no way she was going to make it and she knew it. As she was running across the street, she tripped and fell. About ten feet away was a car. Alice's face turned and her eyes got wide with horror. The car was getting closer and closer. It was going to hit her! [Maybe that'll work....]

(lol, okay...)
Kier frowned, she was running... hopefully nothing was wrong. He stood up, and grabbed his shirt, (he was walking around with no shirt,) and slipped it on. Grabbing his coat as he went out the door he headed out, just as Alice passed the door. He turned, to see her slip and fall. His bright eyes widened in shock, and he felt himself accelrating, and he leapt out into the street, just as the car was about to hit both of them, he grabbed it. And it stopped, the tired squealed as they suddenly found themselfs going no where, and the sudden stop had the driver jerked out, his head smacking the windshield as he passed out. He let go, and from where he grabbed there was crumpled metal. He helped Alice up, "Are you okay?" |

Alice was frozen. Her face had a look of confusion and shock. "Did you just stop that car with your hand?" Her musical voice was rather high pitched. She felt everything begin to spin. "I think I need to go somewhere and sit down...." She said softly. Her eyes blinked a few times and she ran her fingers over her eyes. Had he really just stopped a car with his hand?!

"Two hands." Kier replied bluntly, as he held her arm, and lead her over to the other side of the street, and helped her sit down on the ground. "Don't worry about it Alice, just be glad your..." Kier paused, as he felt his chest sieze up, and he backed away coughing hoarsly, alittle bit of blood splattering on his hand.

Alice sat down. She put her head between her legs and things stopped spinning. Blue hues watched as Kier coughed up blood. "Smoker?" She asked softly. Of course, she had seen him smoking last night. "You should quit...If its doing that to you and all..." Of course, this might make Kier mad, but she didnt care. He looked like he was in bad shape.

"I know." Kier responded, in a voice that shook the air with power as he wiped his mouth away. "You should stop the whole falling in traffic thing." He hissed before he coughed some more andhe sighed slumping on the wall. "Sorry, I know... I've... just been unable to quit."
