Pleasantview Lounge and Cafe - Daerune - 03-15-2010
He slumped into his chair a bit; Isabelle was stalling maybe to think up an excuse to hide the fact for the real reason he was stalking her his face quickly turned into a one of some one who just become suddenly depressed being that annoyed at what would be her attempt to hide the truth that he knew was coming.
As Chris scanned the room every five minutes as he always did he'd see the red hair swaying back and forward to the music although he didn't really pay attention to it, not really being his choice of music his mainly containing of the old earth band songs known as Linkin Park and other songs that was similar in that way, his gaze never stayed long enough on the person to recognize the face having only really recognised it since it was different from every one else's hair
Much to his annoyance of her lack of a quick thinking the two were just sitting there as if waiting for something to hit them as if a answer for his questions, he moved the head phones into his ears playing the music softly so he would know when they answered, he accidentally knock a drink off the table but catching it before it could hit the ground moving it down in a swoop to keep the liquid in the cup only a few drips coming from the top as the liquid turned back around into the cup.
To any ones untrained eye Chris would look at rest at ease laying back slightly as he listened to his music, only really diverting his attention when a loud notice or something would catch some ones attention like every one else would, to a trained persons eye he'd look a little on edge despite his posture his hands in such a position so they'd be able to act fast enough which they had when he caught the glass, it was most likely Isabelle's drink
*I hate it when people do this they pause long enough to let a ship be torn apart before they can effectively think of a excuse, I swear talking to this Mundane is like talking to a wall and Ellie or what ever her name is doesn't like me talking seems a bit cautious, wonder if this place have rooms for people that may want to stay a few days. Wonder how much that would cost probably a moon or something.*
He'd shake his head slightly as his gaze went to the Klingon guard and then the Commander. *Already know the Klingon has some type of problem with me, and the person with the authority was already alerted to my presence oh and I am paranoid.* He sighs turning his attention back in between the two staring into nothing as he started to zone out.
Pleasantview Lounge and Cafe - Jeremy Hunter - 03-15-2010
Izzy sighed.
"Jeremy has a weird seventh sense. He just seems to...know when something bad is going to happen to someone he cares for. He had been stalking me for two days because of that. He was like a guardian angel. And before you ask, his sixth sens is to know when Rika is in danger."
Ellie looked up.
"This is a kinda private thing Chris. Thats why we took so long to answer. But if Jeremy trusts you, then I can trust."
Izzy's mouth quirked into a small half smile.
"Same goes for me."
Izzy sipped her drink as she twirled the key stone charm.
"Chris, some things we Hunters-and we Archers- dont tell outsiders. Me, Jeremy, Ellie, Zack...we all are friends, no matter what happens. Zack is Navy, Jeremy is Order, and we are in-between. But does that stop us frm being friends? We take long because we dont want to endager the ties that bind us all together. We dont want to break a trust that we have had since LA. I hopen you can understand this and realize that when we answer a question like "Why was he stalking you" we have to think how this could break a promise we made. And if you're zoned out, I can always play it back on the recorder Hope decided to use because she saw you were starting to zone out."
Izzy smiled as a incredoulus AI Hope appeared, arms crossed as she was revleaed by Izzy.
Pleasantview Lounge and Cafe - Doc Holliday - 03-15-2010
The pianist continued to enlighten the crowd with old Earth classic piano songs and even "rocked it."
Great Balls of Fire
After a few more numbers, he took his first break as did the crowd that gathered. They broke for the bar for refills and as they did, enough people cleared in front of the red head who had a fresh refill herself. It was then she noticed the stranger who had given her the toy still on the couch. Recovered from her shock, she stirred her drink a little and gave him a gentle smile. Did he notice? She didn't know but for the first time in awhile, she felt good about herself. She still wrestled with her issues but she felt good.
The Guard himself at this point paid no more mind to the stranger as well. He had pretty much been no trouble so he ignored him while the Commander himself finished his drink. As he left, he stopped by Doreen.
"It's nice to see you smiling, young lady," patting her hand twice as he walked by and left for his quarters, tired and worn from a day's work.
More people poured in as the pianist sat for his second set, an obvious hit with the ship's personnel.
Pleasantview Lounge and Cafe - Daerune - 03-15-2010
As he sat there almost looking zoned out really he was just lost in though his eyes darted up having see a face pointing in his direction much to his surprise now being able to see her, it was Doreen and she smiled at him and as she did so he smiled back it only getting larger as the guard patted her on the head. Chris had to break it though when he had to respond to both Ellie and Isabelle
"Seventh since is rare to be felt that's if what you call it, I call it instant, I some times 'foresee' feel that certain things will fall in place and it will happen, like almost predicting it and the sixth sense is known as being able to see the dead." He grins slightly but he'd show he didn't mean it only being really half arsed. "I am a person that is very well run on instants emotions and feelings, I've got friends in many places hell my companion is even in the navy but we are currently 'trying' it out to see if it would work and when you try to read some ones emotions, someone like me you can get there emotions all mixed up and there intentions backwards, unpredictable some would say but to me I am perfectly predictable and only to me which is handy to say the lest." The smile was gone from his face his tone sounding in a factually tone, that much was sure. "Hunters arrow." Is all he'd say before letting them speak.
He didn't really think about how they'd react to his last words really he just thought of when she used Archer and Hunter in the same sentence and that was the thing that came to mind. 'Hunters Arrow' it was like to him there names were perfect. Really to him he was predictable in the senses that he had pretty much found something that explained him mostly.
It is in my nature to be kind, gentle and loving.
But know this:
When it comes to matters of protecting my friends, my family and my heart. Do not trifle with me for I am also the most powerful, ruthless and relentless creature you will ever know
*Seems Mundanes seem clumsy with there where they lay there trust but so am I, only time will tell if what they told me would improve or lessen my view towards then not like I care about tearing them apart not like I will family is important it what keeps peoples hope and alive up once they don't have friends or loved ones to fall back on and become isolated thats is when the person really is lost, I wonder how Doreen feels in a way I'd be able to relate to her in a way but instead I was raised alone, maybe that's why I gave her the toy because it was special to me and in some way it may help her. well there is that again me trying to help people I barely know because I wish to improve there life, odd really I've killed many human nomads phantoms and yet I am still a soft person.*
Chris would look towards Doreen again to see what she was doing trying to be discreet about it.
Pleasantview Lounge and Cafe - Jeremy Hunter - 03-15-2010
Izzy was shocked into a smile when Chris said Hunters Arrows.
"Funny...we never thought of that...Me being Izzy Archer, and him being Jeremy Hunter..."
Izzy looked into his eyes. She stared into them. She knew he could be ruthless, but in some ways so could she.
Izzy stared into Chris's eyes, and, with her female intuition, glared at Chris.
"Its not nice to call people names, especially when the one you're insulting is sitting right across from you with a friend, and both have a relation with your old friend Jeremy."
Izzy crossed her arms. ANd started at Chris some more.
"Well, Jeremy's different. instead of seeing the dead, he knows when Rika is in danger. His seventh, we jokingly call it, is for everyone else he cares about. The lab accident coupled with his love for me, Ellie, Rika, and the brotherly and sisterly love for the rest of the Archers and Storms, somehow gave him a seventh sense, to know when the said are in danger."
Izzy leaned forward.
"Chris, your life may be screwed, your past even more so. But still, does it give you the right to be such a half-arsed jerk most of the time? I know you have a soft side. Why does it seem like it never sees the light of day? Is your "Ruthless, dont mess with me" armor on too tight?"
Izzy leaned back, her stare shooting imaginary arrows at Chris.
Ellie inched her chair back slowly. She swore she could see sparks fly.
Pleasantview Lounge and Cafe - Daerune - 03-16-2010
He'd just grin this time meaning it. "No not really, just I find it entertaining in seeing peoples tolerance levels just some times I push them a little to far, as for my past that's none of your business and you'd do best to keep out of it all that's there is death, as for my life now I like it better then I did in the Order in fact I love it more then being in the Order and my future looks like it may be a entertaining and interesting one."
The smile just increase as he say how she was looking at him almost enjoying the hatred look. "There is no point in trying to insult me really, physical pain barely effects me... words meant for attacking me are a waste of time."

Ellie sighed.
"You two sound like Jeremy and Gibbs. Can't we all just be friends?"
Izzy sighed. Her glare softned, and she put a hand to her forhead and leaned agaisnt the table. She had stopped twirling the key ring.
"Dangit...why the hell does everyhting go to hell..."
Ellie patted her shoulder and looked at Chris.
"When Izzy gets mad, she is slighty...ah, scrtach that. If she gets mad, you'd have better luck surviving a Nuclear Bomb sitting right in front of you, plus the next four behind you. And same goes for you, I'm sure."
Izzy let out a small groan, wishing to just scream.
//Side note of mine:) I got that actually Canis. But Izzy does have an awesome intuition, plus is a frickin genius (Note, she paid me thirty bucks to say that (Not, Izzy doesnt exist, im joking))
Pleasantview Lounge and Cafe - Daerune - 03-17-2010
He'd just sat there calmly. "Maybe we can be friends in the future your yet to prove your self trustworthy to me and the difference is I am likely to survive the nuclear explosion with nothing to show for it but maybe a little bit of sun burn." He shrugs slightly. "Why you're acting like this I do not know, I haven't even started trying to push your buttons so to speak." He exhaled slightly getting up from where he was sitting close to them. "I'll depart from your presence but just know this if I didn't like you, I'd not be calling you by your name Isabelle. I am not as easy to read as other men and nor shell you fully understand why I did what I did in the past, what I do what I do in the present and what I am going to do in the future."
He turned to Ellie. "Don't try and compare my hate or rage to anything you know like a nuclear explosion for I am not that merciful, that is a quick death." This much of what he was saying was true. "Your Hunters sister and be able to deliver him a message, tell him the person he knew was an act, the 'savor' is over and I will no longer to pretend as such and this is the ugly truth, No longer that idiotic kid who acted as if he could save the universe he died due to his weakness, the one thing he didn't know about his self and you may think me a jerk a arse cruel or what ever you will but you may not judge me for you don't know me. I am overprotective, for those that may need support or help which I could provide in any form, I am most likely to do so as they gain my respect and sympathy almost immediately for those that have not will be tested consider this being both of your test Ellie, Isabelle you have so far proved promising in the first observation, so far Only the Holliday's have passed and there test was different I test every one in there my own little way."
He walked away again moving to his own little table, alone again he sat there against a couch half way across the room from Isabelle and Ellie leaving them alone as he turned his music up. he always tested people in certain ways and some times he'd take things a little to far which as both good and bad for him. he knew he could be many things a Jerk and a all manor of unpleasant things and it was not the reason he talked to Isabelle like that it was because he was still a little unhappy that she touched him, Jimmy would have known that no one ever touched him unless he'd of done so first may even just being a hand shake and not even the doctors had the chance to get that only his medic on his ship ever was allowed to the others would have to tell him what to do
And even though he treated Isabelle such he didn't much care as he felt that was the right tone to set with her, the Hollidays were kind gentle and polite people always want the best for others so he showed that side of him being polite, civilized as if he had already grown up but truly despite everything that has happened he was still a little kid in side and if any one ever saw him with a kid he knew they would under stand why. for him he seemed to mimic other peoples emotions never showing him his self for really he was self contained all bottled up no emotions would show out what he truly meant he was shy in all reality
He start to bring up his PDA hologram of a key bored on his lap staring into nothing particular seeming to see something they didn't he began just typing on it a sad look on his face his true emotion at the time

Izzy didnt say a word. Ellie looked at her best friend, the one who flew into hell beside her countless times. She actually started to laugh. She couldnt help it.
"Oh my god Iz, he actually stunned you speechless! Oh, that is a first!"
Ellie clutched her stomach, laughing hard. A couple people around them stared askance at them, but she didnt care. What she thought impossible was proved possible. She sighed as her laughter died away. She composed herslef, then wipped out her PDA.
"What are you doing?"
"Telling Jer the sad news about Chris...and the good news about him."
"Dont you dare."
"Oh, I dare! And no grappling like wild beasts here."
"If you tell him Chris stunned me speechles, I will-"
Ellie sprinted out, typing furiously.
Izzy held her head and sighed. Sometimes Lord, sometimes.
On Toledo, shortly before Nathanial Valentine had returned from his...incedent in Iota, Jeremy checked his PDA for the message.
Jeremy shook his head. The man was the hardest guy to read.
Then Jeremy read about Izzy. Laughter ricohet off the walls.
But it was short, and Jeremy felt the tug of sadness. The Chris he had known had no weaknesses. He was a good man, but something happened. He knew, somehow, something had happened.
Jeremy launched his Sekhmet, Talisman from Toledo to face the day.
Ellie returned to order another round from the waitress who was asking if Izzy wanted anything to eat. She accpeted it, and the waitress moved away.
Ellie sat down, a bog grin on her face.
Pleasantview Lounge and Cafe - Daerune - 03-17-2010
He was alone again and much to his pleasure he was alone no one at the table near him, his feet up onto the foot stool as he laid down having his hands behind his head his left arm at a ninety degrees as it raised along the head rest his right harm out to the side as his head rested on his palms more relaxed as his feet were crossed resting on the foot stool. his eyes would be close and his PDA playing his music as he sat there relaxed no expression on his face as if nothing had happened. His senses numbing as he falls asleep again his eyes moving under the lids.
