[IC] Street Life

Johnny nodded and shook his hand with a loose grip before huddling into the corner closer and breathing more slowly and with a bit of ease to it. He felt nervous around the others, prison was the only place he felt this nervous, like he was going to be attacked at any moment, then he'd learn how hard it kill a man with a sock for sure if he kept with these guys.

Roxy opened the door to her room to glare at all of them. "Let me guess your all day people."

[a00000000000]

Sam shrugged. "I just came down to join the conversation." he said. "And I don't usually sleep much."

[manapool1]

johnny didn't answer but instead began to stand up.

[KatherinWinter]

"Well some of us have been working all night." Roxy snapped/

[a00000000000]

"Why do you think I stay up?" he asked. "I work all day, too." he said, sitting against the wall.

[manapool1]

"I work too" the boy said side stepping to a door to the far side of the room.

"What kind of work kid?" Roxy asked

[manapool1]

Johnny looked to her and blushed a bit thinking about what he did, he remained silent as he looked down and sat. "a strange work"

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy walked over to the young boy. She gently tipped his head up so she could look into his eyes. "Don't be ashamed little one."

[manapool1]

Johnny nodded and he made sure not to make eye contact with the girl. The shiv in his right back pocket was a constant reminder to him as she moved in. To not be ashamed was to lose his soul. "ok" he meekly said with a blush before attempting to move.

[KatherinWinter]

"If it makes you feel better we probably work in the same field."Rozy told him. She stepped out of his space. She knew how important space could be to someone in their field.

[manapool1]

"then you'd understand it's better we don't discuss" the boy said now near a back door, looking over the others before walking away. "I should have stayed alone" he said finding a corner in the new room and laying down.

[KatherinWinter]

Roxy shrugged. She had been hoping to making him feel better but apparently she sucked at social interactions.

[a00000000000]

"I pickpocket." he stated. "But it's difficult to get anythign worthwhile."

[Vindle]

"Pickpocket, huh? I've always believed that to be cowardly, to be honest. Taking hostages, threatening to kill, all that is much more exciting than bumping into someone, giving the 'excuse me', and walking off with one of their possessions." Vindle said.

[BlackCat]

"Vindle's right. Its more fun to point guns at people and take hostages than to pickpocket," Shade let out a cackle. She put her gun back into her jacket.

[a00000000000]

He shrugged. "I'm not looking for excitement, I'm looking for things to help me go by my day. And don't you think that if you did what you're saying, word would get around? People would probably be more cautios around here." he said.

[BlackCat]

"Yah people do get cautious, but you can still get a target. For instance recently Vindle snuck up on me, I pointed a gun at his face. See, it never gets boring," Shade said grinning from ear to ear.

[Vindle]

"Most street people know of pick-pocketing, so if you bump into them only someone stupid wouldn't suspect you. While someone who can sneak around like me can get get around quite fine. It's worked for 3 years. Though it's understandable if you don't want excitement. I just thought while I'm trying to live I might as well have fun. And plus, I was trained by assassins for a while so I might as well make use of their teachings." Vindle said.
