The New Recruit

Who: Cade Masters, Jenny Sparks, Olivier Armstrong
What: Jenny wants to join the Resistance
Where: Annie's Flowers
When: April 28th, Mid-afternoon.
Warnings: This post may contain profanity, violence, tobacco/alcohol use, and/or Cade Masters

[Cade wasn't planning on going to the flower shop today. In fact, he's been avoiding the place a bit lately, almost as if he is superstitious about the place; it seems that every time he's gone by, something crazy has happened.

And now, he's bringing his very grumpy, chain smoking, profanity-spewing "wife" to meet the woman who Cade not only has a bit of a crush on, but has shot, stabbed, and punched Cade in the face.

This will go well.

Cade rounds the corner of the block that Annie's flowers is on, leading his "wife", Jenny, to the place upon her insistence.]

"We're almost there."

Jenny followed along, hands shoved into her pockets as she made her way to this flower shop. It was more then a little disturbing that Cade had managed to find the resistance before her. Instead she'd found a zen bloke and Tex. Well, she couldn't say anything bad about Tex, in fact, she'd have to say something to this Olivier about it.

"Clearly you have the route memorized."

[Cade smirks back at her, despite his nervousness.]

"What can I say? I must just really like flowers."

[Cade reaches the shop and pushes open the door. A little bell jingles, announcing the presence of the "customers."]

[Olivier looks up from her usual place behind the counter and gives a nod of acknowledgement. Her eyes flit from Cade to the blonde following him into the store.]

I hear you wanted to know more about bingo nights.

[Jenny gives a curt nod toward Olivier.]

Masters says they're the highlight of the town.

[She knew the rules for this sort of thing. She'd been through more then enough of them to not screw it up.]

[Cade has no idea what bingo is, but remembers that Olivier told him to show up at her place if he heard or saw any announcements for "bingo night." Still, he doesn't really know if bingo is a game or a food or what.]

"Yes... Bingo... Us bingo connoisseurs have to stick together, right?"

[Yes, he sounds like an idiot.]

We have meetings once a month, and I'm planning on getting a routine for training and sparring sessions together based on experience levels. Are you more of a fighter, healer, or reconnaissance?

[She keeps from rolling her eyes at Cade.]

Yes, sticking together is important, but we also need to know how to work separately when we have to.

[Almost as soon as the words in their suspicious tone come out of Cade's mouth Jenny's hand is making contact with the back of the man's head. She mouths 'be less conspicuous.'

God she misses radiotelepathy. It would make all this a hell of a lot easier. If they ever drag Angie in here she'd have to get the girl to hook everyone up together if she could. It'd be a bitch to deal with people being droned though.]

The first and last. I used to run something similar to a bingo game back home. Ever hear of RISK?

[That wasn't exactly what The Authority was, but it was close enough. Instead of dominating the world they just kept saving it. She made her way over to the counter and pulled a piece of paper over, writing very clearly on it informing Olivier of her former occupation as the leader of a group of SPB's who would regularly defend her world from major threats, as well as Tex's interest in the resistance. Her words were simple, to the point, and easily burnable if need be.]

"Ouch! Hey!"

[Wait, what is she mouthing? 'Be. Less. Considerate?' What? Why would she want him to be less considerate? Jeez, Jenny, you don't make any sense at all.]

Still rubbing his head, Cade strides 'casually' over to Olivier and whispers, "I think fighter is a good bet for this one."

[No, no laughing at Cade getting smacked. She can hold it together, maybe she might give a bit of a smirk.]

Impressive, as long as you show up, and plan on bringing that to bingo night, I wouldn't mind seeing you there. And you can keep him in line if it is necessary it seems.

I'll be sure to be there.

[She puts one word on the paper, 'where'. She can't show up if she doesn't know where she's showing up to.]

I refuse to be Master's keeper. It'd be like being in charge of a Yorkie in constant heat. Won't stop yapping and humping the neighbor's leg.

[Jenny makes a mental note to tell Olivier about that book. The knowledge may come in handy with figuring out this place. Still, with the description of that girl, Lucy, it seemed a bit more like they were dealing with a god of some sort. A pain in the ass, but not something that couldn't be killed. Hell, she'd killed one god already, why not make it an even pair.]

Though I will say this for the man. He's damn good at ferreting out things, and fast about it too.

[Cade smooths his hair and acts as if he knows something you two don't, making a jarring transition from goofball to playing it cool.]

"You'd be surprised what I'm capable of when things are on the line...

-the very last mistake of more than one fellow back home was underestimating Cade Masters."

[Cade slips some money on the counter, takes a rose, and turns to the door as if ready to leave (unless either of you has further need of him).]

[She can't help but let the smirk grow at Jenny's words.]

Although, he does seem trainable. He paid for the rose this time. And, he does seem reliable when the time calls for it. I'll just have to give him a talk about harassing any of the women during bingo night.

[Jenny's lips smiled as she glanced at Cade.]

If you're going to train a man you've got to let him take a few knocks. A few broken bones will teach him not to harass the local women.

[Then her words were to Cade]

I think I've got it from here. Unless you wanna try and romance the lady.

[Cade turns and flashes you both a smile.]

"Normally I'd love to, but I really should get going if I don't want to be late. There is a lovely woman in town who is really looking forward to getting lunch with me."

[Olivier nods.]

And most of the women here are quite capable of delivering a solid punch.

[Cade stops in his tracks at the door when he hears Olivier's words. Was that a threat? (Cade has a bit stubborn streak when it comes to being threatened into doing something: he tends to do the exact opposite, even if he had originally intended to do what the intimidator wanted beforehand.)

He puts on a big smile and turns back to Olivier, and again resumes his cheesy, hammy persona (in fact, he cranks up even higher than usual), his next words booming like a Shakespearean actor.]

"Don't worry, my beautiful Olivier! I have not forgotten you! I shall return for you on the morrow to once again melt your heart! I can only hope you can bare my absence until then!"

[And with that Cade dashes off, laughing hammily as he darts down the street!]

"Ha HA HA ha!"
