Settling in?
They'd started moving into the renovated abandoned restaurant/nightclub covered scrap metal. Corey'd even arranged a recycling dumpster next to the regular one. Once the kitchen was finally covered in his explanatory signs -- one explanation of food storage and recycling having the very direct heading 'You Will Not Waste' -- he took an awful lot of sorted bags of packaging out to said recycling dumpster.

Alisa had managed to do something people thought was impossible... she snuck out of the home Ennie and herself owned. Actually, she did this a lot, looking for spare parts. She would take the bus, carrying a large backpack on her tiny frame, and go into parts of town that were being renovated, or had large amounts of items she could rummage through.

Today, she found an abandoned nightclub, with a dumpster full of electronic devices and spare parts. Lucky her! She was halfway in the dumpster, and halfway out of it, sifting through the many treasures before her red on black eyes.

	"Taking recycling to a new level," Corey says with friendly approval as he sees the girl rummaging. "Cool." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Alisa nearly screamed, falling out of the dumpster and landing on her rear with a loud thud. She looked far too skinny for her frame, despite being dressed in baggy clothes. Despite being able to take a bus, she was still skittish about people, especially those who approached her. Sitting on the ground, she clutched a broken coffee maker, looking wide eyed at Corey.

	"Oh gods, sorry! Didn't mean to startle you." In addition to apologetic, Corey felt the overwhelming need to fix this girl lunch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"w-what... what do you... want?" She spoke barely above a whisper, and continued to hug the broken coffee maker close to her fragile looking body. "Ah... ah don' got nuthin' ta give you... an'... an' ah... ah don' wanna... do s-stuff..." She stuttered a little, too. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alisa read off the street names to Ennie, along with the landmarks that he could see from each street. "Okay... ah'll be outside wit' dem waitin' for you... o-okay? You sure... you ain' mad at mah?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"non...non," he said distractedly as, well, he was putting on his coat and that sleeve wasn't cooperating right so he was a bit distracted. "I jus' worried is all. No note... ya gone... I be dere quick like..." A pause. "'bout twenty minutes if'n I take de alleys and go about eighty... ya promise me ya fine?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Ah promise ah be fine... an'... an' don' speed... ah... ah get scared when you do..." She spoke softly. "Ah gonna hang up, now... be safe..." She hung up the phone, and made her way back to Corey. "Mah broder... he... he on his way... can... can we wait for him... before we eat? Please?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure," Corey says pleasantly, eyes immediately glancing toward the nearest streetcar stop. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Definitely. You wouldn't believe how much harder they are to get in New York than here or home in Brazil." Corey laughs. "My family does all right, but no way could I afford this. Some of the others put up the initial money for the building. There's six of us living here, hence a few renovations." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah, I grew up the same way too. Stuff a couple rolls in your pockets any time you can, cause you never know where the next meal is coming from or what it'll be." he agrees. "But don't worry about that here. Finish your plate or you'll offend Corey... and its bad form to offend the best cook in the place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"O-okay..." She nodded her head, as they pushed open the doors to the kitchen and entered. Alisa was smiling, giving a small wave to Corey, as well as her brother. "H-hi guys... we... we are back... an'... an' ah got good news!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Enteinne frowned at Corey's insistence on finishing a full plate... for both of them. That... Well, he'd have to try. As his sister walked in, he nodded and waved in a sort-of two fingered salute and chewed on the side of his mouth, "What news, peanut?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ennie could deal with Alisa's bad mood and being angry at him. At least long enough to get them both home safe and sound. And once they were... well, he'd deal then. At least they wouldn't be fighting in front of total strangers. Once they were both on the bike and food was stored and helmets were secured, his bike roared to life and he drove them away.

	"Fare thee well, Alisa," Argo told her before she left. He regarded the others for a moment after the two had gone. "Her brother didst seem... stressed?" he ventured. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
