[IC] Life on the streets

[KatherinWinter]

Lucius Cypher said
Donny took the keys as Roxy led them to a black hummer, of all things. Hardly subtle, though he supposed if they never needed to run someone off the road they had the ride to do so. Still, it was a bit too... Much, for him at least. But he didn't say anything. Roxy already paid for it, so he was just going to have to work with it. Though he did wonder why something as nice as this was in a junk yard of all places. He asked as he started up the car.

"The other side of town." Roxy answered softly. She was glad for the large vehicle. It gave them plenty of space for supplies. Since they weren't as rare as they use to be so she hoped it wouldn't stand out too much. She fiddled with the radio until she found a station playing oldies.

[Lucius Cypher]

The other side of town was going to be a far bit away. Still, with Donny's driving, it shouldn't take longer than ten minutes, thirty tops. As he drove, a song came on the radio. He knew this song. He whispered the lyrics to himself until they reached a lone intersection with a red light. Now was as good of a time as any. "Boss... Have you ever thought of trying some other job?"

"I tried to get a regular job when I came to town. But a high school drop out doesn't have a lot of options. I might have stood a better chance if I had some ID, but I can't use my real name. With no money for ID, no address, no references, and no education no one will give you legitimate job." Roxy explained.

[Lucius Cypher]

Made sense. Not a lot of legal work for someone who doesn't have papers. Than again, he did manage to get a few cheap restaurant jobs... But they were shady as hell. But with this Hummer, he had an idea of how they could earn money a new way. "You know... With this hummer... I could try to enter some street races. Earn money that way. Or maybe even some courier jobs. But I'd need to find those places first. So maybe you and me, we could work out some other way to earn cash, yeah? I just need to win a few races to get some starting cash, and than build up from there. I can even teach you some tricks I know, so you can enter the races yourself.." But it was all just optimism. Sure, Donny could be a contender in the Hummer, but in a street race a hummer was hardly the best choice of vehicles. Too large, too slow, and expensive to fix. Not impossible, just... Difficult. But to him, it was better than this.

Lea waited for quite a while before getting up and leaving Tat. He was taking forever to get that phone ready. "Come find me when the phone is ready if you want your part of the money, and don't worry, I'll save it for you." She said as she left. She walked around town looking for more targets for a while. After pick-pocketing a rich woman she ducked into a doorway to clean out her wallet.

Roxy smiled at Donny. She gently caressed his cheek. "hummers aren't built for speed. We would need something flashy. I tried racing my bike, but I couldn't make enough. I don't plan on doing what I do forever. I plan to build my own gang."

[Lucius Cypher]

Donny nearly jumped when Roxy touched his cheek. "Calm yourself boy... She's your boss. Keep your wits about you and eyes on the road." Clearing his throat he continued. "...Well, than you haven't really seen me race than. I'd prefer a sort of sedan for speed, but a true master doesn't need the perfect tool to make a masterpiece." When Roxy mentioned starting up her own gang, Donny started having some doubts. She already had two bosses of the biggest gang in the city lusting for her. That meant they had eyes on her the entire time. How was she suppose to try to start up her own gang with them constantly out to find her? Unless... She planned to take over one of them. Donny honestly didn't know what she had in mind. He just hoped that, for what he was getting paid for, it was a good idea. "That's a big dream, Boss. I'll help however I can, but pray tell, how exactly do you plan to accomplish that?"

"I haven't worked out all the detail. I know how gangs work. I grew up in one. No reason I can't run my own. I don't have many skills but I'm a good leader. I just need the right kind of people working with me. It won't happen over night. We have to start small and build our power base. I've got something the leaders in town don't have. When I have enough power enough support I'll use the one thing I haven't used in 3 years. I'll use my name."

[Lucius Cypher]

"Your name?" Sound vague. But she sound confident that it'll work. Donny had his doubts of course, but his job was to be ready for the worse. "I'll be taking your word for it boss. Also, I think we're here." Donny parked in front a fairly large store. Hopefully this one won't have any of those guys looking for either of them.

"I know it doesn't sound like much. But revealing myself will add my fathers powers behind mine. I just need to be strong enough to withstand my father. Once I can prove that I am strong enough to lead he wont allow anyone to destroy me." Roxy explained as she climbed out of the car.

[Lucius Cypher]

"You're dad huh?" Donny himself had mixed feelings about inheriting power. Growing up, it seemed that getting things from your parents was a bad thing; simply be lucky enough to be born to rich parents suddenly made everything hard for kids to do themselves, because their parents are more than able to get it for them. But at the same time, capitalizing on your parent's success and trying to make something from it is often seen just as bad or not worse than mooching off of them. Donny had to admit, kids who relied solely on their parent's influence are scum to him. But Roxy planned to at least make herself competent at what she was going to do first, and than use her father's name to seal the deal, instead of just riding on his reputation from start to finish. As usual he had his doubts, but he kept them to himself. "So, what are we looking for here, Boss?"

"Food. Cleaning supplies. Bedding. Paint nails. You name it we need it. We have a hotel to rebuild." She was alittle surprised that Donny didnt ask who her father was. Or why she hadnt already used his name. With his name both gang leaders would leave her alone. Her reasons weren't what he imagined. She had no desire to prove herself to her father. No desire to be what he was. Her reason were more complicated then that."

[Lucius Cypher]

"What." It was one thing for him to work as a bodyguard, but to refurbish an entire hotel? They'd need.... An electrician first of all, just so they had some power flowing through the place. A lot of contractors to repair the rooms. Maids to clean up, maybe an exterminator depending on how many vermin call that dump home. And the place was huge too; they'd need at least tens to hundred thousand dollars worth of home supplies just to refurbish each room, that's note even mentioning all the bedding and furniture they'd need to get for each room. Maybe, hopefully, Roxy wasn't intending for the place to actually be a hotel. But even so, this was going to be expensive. "Alright than. This might take a while, so should we split up and get different things or stick together for now?"

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy laughed at Donny's shocked expression. She could tell he hadn't expected that. "I know it needs a lot of work. I don't expect you to do any of it. The only work you have to worry about is the night shift. if you want something do in your room let me know." Roxy explained. "500 dollars won't go far. It should be safe enough to split up. I'll grab what I need. You can get whatever you want."

[Lucius Cypher]

Donny smirked as she laughed at his surprise. She at least relieved him a little when she told him that she will have the refurbishing of the whole Hotel handled herself. He only needed to worry about his room, the Security Office. She was right that what money he had won't really be enough for what he had in mind, so he made a mental list. "Alright, I'll see if this place has what I'm looking for and picked up what I can. Shouldn't take me more than thirty minutes or so. Try not to cause any trouble while I'm away?"

"I'll do my best." Roxy promised with a chuckle. She headed for the food first. She added up the prices as she put them in the cart. Once the food was purchase she grabbed washcloths, towels, bedding , and soap for Donny and herself. Then she headed to the check stand.

[Lucius Cypher]

Honestly, Donny didn't have much he wanted to buy. Or rather, he knew that he didn't have enough for anything aside from grocery shopping. So that's what he did. Most of his money went to a portable gas stove and and Microwave Oven, and he budgeted himself for other things such as medical supplies and and tools. He wasn't much of a repair man, but even he knew how to fix a leak. Once he had his things he went to the counter to pay for it, and than hid near the front waiting for Roxy to be done.

Roxy wasn't concerned when she didn't see Donny. He was an excellent hider. She could have used his skills years ago. She paid for her items with only a few cents to spare. She made her way out to the car and began unloading her bags.

[Lucius Cypher]

Donny rolled up next to Roxy as he helped her load her things into the back of the hummer. He noticed that she seemed to have brought a lot of bedding and bathroom stuff. "That's a lot of soap and blankets." He didn't realize any of it was suppose to be for him. Once Roxy's things were put away Donny packed away his few stuff as well and pushed the carts off the side. "Where to next Boss?"

[LiegeLord]

*Drake would be back at the Hotel with his things in his room. His bed and cooking supplies along with his supplies he brought, also his other supplies that he has in bags right now as he lays down. He gets up and heads around the hotel.*
