Characters: Quinn and Ginger
Setting: The Rue, Monday
Content: Probably NSFW
Summary: While out shopping, Quinn bumps into Ginger, as well as someone else.



As it had been rather nice that weekend, Quinn was determined to get out and enjoy it. Although today it was supposed to be rainy, it was a warm rain and she never minded that. When coming out of winter it was just refreshing. She loved the smell of rain, too, and she closed her eyes and inhaled that scent as she walked out of one of the shops on the Rue with a bag hanging from her hand.

She looked around for a moment, putting her arm through the bag handles temporarily as she adjusted the bracelet on her wrist. There weren't too many people around due to the weather, although she did notice there was an odd gathering of people just down the walk. With a curious arc of an eyebrow, Quinn headed over to see what was so interesting.

Ginger had been out to Saks on Fifth to buy a few things for herself, and a hat for Sammy. She thought he'd really like it, and at the end of the day couldn't walk out without buying it. She'd just...skip the whole price conversation. He probably wouldn't accept the 'but it really isn't that much to me' explanation.

She was coming up on the Rue, though, when her attention was pulled by a gathering group of people. What on earth was all of that mess? "Weird..." she muttered, coming up behind a terribly dressed girl. The bracelet on her arm even grabbed Ginger's attention, for it was horridly gross and gaudy. "WTH is that thing?" She blurted out, before looking up to see the bracelet's owner. "OMG, Quinn?"

Uh oh. Why was this her sort of luck?

Quinn had been attempting to peer between the shoulders of a couple people when she heard some God awful voice behind her, and she abandoned her attempt to turn and look at who the voice came from.

Only to find Ginger.

She arched an eyebrow at the girl, turning enough so that she didn't have to keep her head turned at such an odd angle. "Oh my god, Ginger?" Quinn responded in a mockery of the girl's reaction. "What are you so horrified about?"

Her eyes went a little wide, before she shook her head at the other girl. She wasn't horrified. Okay, maybe she was a little horrified by that god awful mess of an outfit, but she wasn't horrified about Quinn, right? That was something at least!

Holding up a hand, she smiled as best she good at someone looking like a train wreck. "Uh, I was just surprised to see you." She said sweetly, turning her attention to peer over the shoulders of the people in front.

"What's going on anyways? Like, is it something cool, or just totally lame and everyone is so blocking the way for nothing."

"Uh huh," Quinn answered like she didn't necessarily believe Ginger. Not after her remark of 'that thing'. Quinn just assuming Ginger and her by-the-book fashion sense was probably horrified by her outfit. After turning forward again, she just snickered. Let her think what she wanted.

Quinn shook her head a bit, and resumed her attempt at trying to find out what was going on. "I can't see shit." She turned and glanced back at Ginger again. "Let's find out, shall we?" With that, she began to push people out of the way to find out exactly what was going on.

He had realized that the crowds were getting bigger and bigger, it was something he reveled in. People were listening, people were catching on to what was going on around them. "You are opening your eyes brothers and sisters! Opening your eyes to the agents of evil!" he yelled above the crowd.

"Evil witches and warlocks are among us! They are hidden in our ranks just waiting to usurp! These witches and warlocks are agents of the devil! We know that they are among us and the Devil has given them the power to destroy us!"

Some of the audience was wrapped up in his words while others thought he was a total nutter.

Ginger made a face at the back of Quinn's head that was a mix between 'ooo scary' and 'blaag I'm dumb'. Granted, come backs were not her strong suit, but it was way she said 'uh huh' that made Ginger feel like it was needed. A come back that was.

Either way she followed Quinn up to the front of the crowd, where she stopped to gawk at the man for a moment. "Ug, as if." She said before she softly, stepping a bit behind the shorter girl. It was not really effective for hiding, but it was still useful. This way if the crazy man grabbed for them, he'd totally get Quinn first.

"Uh, like, I don't know what a warlock is, so like, I don't think we have any of those and stuff, you know?"

She stopped once she had reached the first row of onlookers, and she scoffed at the man at the center of the scene. Another one of those people.

Quinn glanced back at Ginger with a look that screamed that she couldn't believe she just said that. While turning back around, she rolled her eyes. Momentarily, she wondered how many times Ginger would say 'like' in a single conversation.

Then she remembered Ginger probably couldn't have, like, a real conversation.

"Oh come on," Quinn muttered, her attention going back to the raving lunatic in front of her. "That shit is so Colonial."

"You have been lead astray!" he screamed adamantly pointing at the two younger girls who had just pushed their way to the front. "The devil is clever, his agents are even more so! They walk among us in secret! They are hidden by their wicked ways but their deeds are palpable!" He turned back to the audience at large.

"They will train their young to destroy us as they have tried before! There is evidence of their damage! I have seen it with my own eyes!" he claimed.

Looking back at the two girls he pointed again. "Their young will inherit the ancient evil running through their blood! Witches and warlocks! Born into sin and evil magic!"

Why was he pointing at her! Ginger's eyes went wide as she gaped at him. The nerve of some people, honestly! And how did he even know? Was he like some seer or something? "Palplude?" She scoffed a little rolling her eyes and flicking her hair over her shoulder. "What proof do you even have?"

Ug, he was scary and ugly. What was wrong with his face, anyway? He looked like some voodoo master from the wrong side of town.

"Oh go back to your voodoo dolls," she snorted, lifting her chin up a little higher. That was it, he was just an ugly, jealous voodoo master.

Even Quinn knew that she wasn't the smartest person the school had. Far from it, even if she acted if she was sometimes. But Ginger... Quinn fought to keep from turning around and hitting her with the book in her bag in the hopes of smacking some smarts into her.

"He wouldn't be playing with voodoo dolls if he was going on about God and the Devil," Quinn turned her head enough and nearly spoke out of the corner of her mouth quickly, trying to just be heard by the airhead behind her. Her eyes, however, never left the ranting man.

"I have seen with my own eyes! They brought the storm to us! They were the reason Katrina tore out city apart! I saw them! Witches and warlocks calling up their Satanic magic! They brought that devastation down upon us!" He said, his eyes wildly searching the crowd. He caught the eyes of regular who listened to his speeches and nodded. "Took down the branches, shook the ground," he said madly.

He looked at the little blonde again. "Blasphemy!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. "Voodoo is another of the Devil's magics! Stowed upon the evil witches and warlocks! How dare you?!" he roared.

"They are coming for us, coming for your young!" he announced to the crowd at large. "No one is safe from their treachery! No one is safe from their treachery!"

Oh heaven help her, Ginger thought the guy couldn't get any creepier until he pointed at her and yelled. Why did he keep doing that? She shook her head, rolling her eyes as she bit her lip. "No they didn't," she protested softly, barely catching what Quinn said.

"Stop pointing at me, gawd. What the heck did I like do to you? You're the one yelling like some sort of freak!" Though she really just sort of wanted to go home, now. Curl up next to Sam, and forget about the creepy guy.

"No one is coming for, like, anyone. You're such a weirdo." Yep, yep he certainly was. A Hitler freak weirdo.

For a moment, Quinn's free hand curled into a fist and uncurled. She wasn't sure who was irritating her more: Ginger or the crazy preaching guy in front of them. Either way, she had to get out of there before she hurt one of the two of them. Ginger was the more likely, really. This wasn't the place for violence.

"Oh, fuck this," Quinn began as she turned around, "I'm not listening to this bullshit anymore." She pushed aside one of the other onlookers to get around Ginger and made her way out of the gathered crowd. The whole thing was just too ridiculous.

"You will be lead astray young one! You will be lead astray by their lies and deceit!" he shouted into the crowd. "I only worry for the safety of us all!"

Some of the people in the crowd began to disperse, a few watched the others go, some even seeming to have an interest in how other people were reacting.

The homeless man stood back on his crate and watched this all unfolding before him. With a satisfied smile and felt he had completed his work. "Be weary of the witches and the warlocks! Be weary!" he warned them all.
