"Is he now?" The janitor said looking at Sleight. "Just natural I suppose." Sleight answered with a grin. "We'll see. There's a room down there." He pointed down the opposite way from Thala's room. "It doesn't have a lock, so you'll have to make do." "Thanks, I'll just, go put my things in there." He said dragging his box away as the janitor limped back to his regular seat in front of his desk.

"So, what shall I do first?" Thala asked the Janitor, wanting to be done before nightfall. She had unfinished business and wanted to use the night to prepare for that.

"You took so long with the sign that I already finished everything." The janitor told her. He pointed up to show her that even the roof of the boiler room was clean.

"Woah." Thala said, "You surprise me all the time sir. You'll have to tell me your secret sometime. So what should I do in the meantime? I could wait in my room until I'm needed." She said, pointing her thumb to it as she took a step back.

The janitor huffed. "Have you bought your ticket yet? As per our agreement?" He asked.

"Yeah, about that. I got mugged again yesterday so I don't have the money." Thala said, fiddling with her fingers a bit.

The janitor opened the drawer and took out an envelope that he tossed to Thala. "I figured you may need that, it's an advance on your salary."

Thala caught the envalope, "Thanks. I guess I'll go get the train ticket." She said, not yet leaving, half expecting him to say something else on the subject.

The janitor just sat back in his chair and stared at her. "Are we heading out again?" Sleight asked coming up behind Thala after putting his things away.

"Yes, I've got to get a ticket and make a deposit at the bank. Preferably one that hasn't been robbed recently. Can you help me with that?" Thala said as she turned to the rear entrance they'd come through before.

Post by Bio Plus on May 24, 2016 17:36:23 GMT -5
"Sure." Sleight replied. "Although you're probably not going to get a better bank than the one that was robbed." He said as they started out and whispered. "I thought I told you not to make friends with strange people anymore."

"I met him before I promised that." Thala whispered back.

Sleight nodded and waited until they were outside before he spoke again. "You know? You have quite a weird life, even for someone living in Fin. So what's the old man's name?"

"He's..." Thala thought and realized she never got his name, "I don't know, I've just called him sir or Mister Janitor, when he's not looking."

"You didn't ask his name?" Sleight said. "Come to think about it you never asked my name either. Do you have something against names? Is it because your parents called you Stone?"

"I just go by stone, my parents didn't name me that. And I don't know, I guess if a person's friendly then I assume I'll learn their name in time. Must be a country thing." Thala said.

"Really?" Sleight asked. "So what did your parents name you?"

"Thala. And you?" She asked in turn.

"Sleight's my real name. Sleight Palmer." Sleight told her. "Don't ask me why my parents called me that, I never asked them about it. I always thought it was a good name for a magician though, but I didn't have the talent for that."

"Good to meet you Sleight." Thala said with a grin, "So which bank should I use. We can handle that first."
OOC: Is this a paper or plastic world or is cash used for everything?

Post by Bio Plus on May 26, 2016 22:28:25 GMT -5
ooc: It's a paper and plastic world, the plastic is just expensive to own so most middle class people just use cash.
"Like I said, your best bank is the one that got robbed." Sleight said scratching his head. "I mean, as far as I know, this is the first time anyone has tried to rob it in thirty years."

"Then it shouldn't get robbed anytime soon. How about we go there." Thala said... "And while we're on our way, I've got a proposition for you."

"Two propositions in one day." Sleight said as he led her to the bank. "The last one wasn't so bad, so I guess I can hear you out on the other."

"Well, you've proven time and again that you know the city inside and out, and quite frankly, I don't. I want us to team up against the evil if the city. In this case we might as well be fighting the while city though, given my experience thus far." Thala said plainly, like there was nothing odd about the question at all.

Sleight stopped dead in his tracks and it took him a while before he started moving again. "Oh, you mean like charities and helping out at the orphanage and that kind of thing. For a moment there I completely misunderstood you." He laughed.

"Nope, I mean be a super hero with me." Thala corrected him, not having stopped even when he did.

Sleight joked on his own breath and had to hurry to catch up to her. "What!?" He asked surprised. "What do you mean superheroes? We almost got killed last night and you want to do that again?"
|

"I wasn't prepared yesterday. I won't go out unprepared again. And I didn't die because I had help from you." Thala said.

"But we're not superheroes, we're regular people!" Sleight pleaded with her. "Why go out looking for trouble when there's already enough trouble in this city?"
ooc: If Thala is the kind that takes no for an answer you can do that without forcing him to join her. I can construct a way for him to get there now that she's talking about this with him.

"I'm bringing trouble to the troublemakers. You were right Yesterday. The cops aren't doing anything, so I'll need to. This is the whole reason I came to this city in the first place." Thala explained and looked to him, "You in?"
OOC: She can. Her resolve to continue is greater then her desire for him to come along.
