(City on Fire) Matches

[Vincent Black]

Vincent shook his head, he may have exasperated the situation, but this was not the time or place to get into an argument. "I did not mean anything by it. Like Sera said, the more private area would allow us to explain in detail what is going on. But if you want to just talk in the car, we can. Just not sure how much we can go into things as we are still out in the open. But I can try." Vincent tried to sound as convincing as possible but knew it would be hard as she barely started to trust them, and that trust would need to go a long way.

And of course he does not sound as convincing as he would like. "Hell, I would not even believe my own words." he thought.

Gabby frowns, staring hard at the others. "Fine. But I'll keep the keys." she says after a long moment. Holding out her hand expectantly, tapping her foot - nerves, frustration? - if she's given the keys, she'll still wait until the others have entered the car before she slides into the back seat with Jasper.


"Talk." she'll say as soon as the doors slam shut.

[Jasper]

Jasper nods as he looks over to Sera, catching the keys and smirking slightly. "Not gonna drive it, just trying to make Gabby here more comfortable," he says.

He nods over to his fellow Beast and smiles at him, moving to start getting into the Tahoe. He pauses and blinks at the request from the waitress and thinks it over for a moment. He glances to Sera, trying to think if this is a good idea but it's trust.. You gotta give some to make some. He hands over the keys and slips into the backseat. When Gabby slips into the vehicle and closes the door, he lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"Well.. It's a long story and I don't know exactly where to start..." he starts, pulling out his lighter again, setting the chrome-plated Zippo on the seat between the two of them. "I'm gonna be honest... I'm not exactly sure what you are but I know you're not like normal folk. Neither are we. You don't want to hurt people and neither do we and that's a good thing. That's a very good thing. Sometimes things get out of control, yeah? No one means for it to happen but sometimes it does. I want to, we want to" he adds, glancing at the others in the car, "we want to help you with that control if we can. Before more buildings get burnt.. before people get hurt.. No one here wants to see people hurt, right?"

[Seraphina]

Did she like this plan? No, not really. Was she confident she could bend this girl to her will if need be? Absolutely. So, it’s with this in mind that she goes along with it.

She returns Jaspers look with one that would tell him she wasn’t quite on board with this.

Listening as he spoke; it became obvious he thought she was the one causing the fires. And that explained a couple things.

Not really sure what she could add, “Our lives, yourself included, are made safer and easier when we have allies and friends to call on.”

[Vincent Black]

Vincent got into the backseat of the car quietly and waited for the others to do the same. In quiet contemplation he thought "I am sure this is the right person, and it is obvious she is unaware of what is going on with her. I am just curious how she got away with it for so long." Vincent decided to wait a bit to see where the conversation was headed before he said his thoughts out loud.

"Yeah, sure, we're all a bunch of freaks, or friends of freaks," looking to the front seats with Sera and Vincent. The latter hadn't seemed surprised when The big guy lit on fire and the chick....hmm, She shifts in her seat.
"Why couldn't anyone else see you were on fire? They can see me when I'm on fire." she says, blurting out the question even if her shoulders are around her ears.

[Jasper]

He snorts slightly and shakes his head. "We're all a bunch of lost folks, trying to find our way in this world."

"I don't know why folks can't see my fire as much. They seem to either ignore it or pass it off as something else. It's just as much a flame as yours is.." he says, reaching up to touch his chest, fingers brushing the flame decal on his shirt before he pulls away a small flickering flame that starts to climb up his arm again, moving swiftly to cover his torso and arms again in the hazy burn around him.

"Maybe we can find a way to hide yours like mine, Gabby. Can we help you with that?" he asks, sitting forward a bit. There's heat coming off of him, palpable, though not nearly as much as if he was fully and truly on fire and the flames don't move off of him. Yet.

[Seraphina]

“Personally, I’m not too fond of the term freak. I mean, not everyone is what we are, but freaks is a bit much.” Did she feel like a freak at one time? Sure.

“We all have a way to hide who we truly are.” Every Lost can do it, “It helps keep us safe.” She then decides to ask what she feels, is an important question, “How long have you been out?” the questions she was asking, and the attitude, made Sera think it wasn’t too long.

A raise of her eyebrow was given to Jasper, “You burn my SUV we’re going to have problems.” Kind of joking, but also not.

“Us teaching you how to hide it will also help keep you a bit safer.” Not completely safe, they were never completely safe. But she didn’t think the girl needed to hear that right now.

[Saber Sloth]

Gabby jumps when Jasper once more lights himself on fire, which burns around him, the heat causing the air to haze lightly and even though Jasper has the flamers focused on his torso, it's still a very large area, and fire wants to do what fire does, and keeps attempting to catch the bench and seatbelt around him on fire.

Under his speech and keen eye, she sees her relax slightly, while not reacting at all to the word 'lost'.

"What do you mean. Out of where?" she asks, looking between them.

Couple of reminders!

Armour of the Elemental Fury might be a magical effect, it's still, however fire! If you don't want me to roll for how flammable Sera's car is, please put your fire out, or take the time to concentrate it to your hands.

And, unless you want your turn to take a long while ICly remember things take time, and to remember how many Actions can be taken per post - more in non-combat rounds, but still please keep it in mind

[Vincent Black]

Vincent shakes his head as Jasper lights on fire, he is pretty sure the showmanship is going to cause the girl to worry more. Not sure where to go from here he knows that they need to get some information out of her before they can help her out. "Hey Jasper, can you turn that out, I think we may be moving a little too fast for her. Gabby, do you mind if I ask if you are new to the city or have you been here awhile?" He is hoping that by asking her some simple questions they can get an idea of how long she has been around.
