A Gift and a Curse

@GiskI am about to have Maren leave and possibly bump in? Maybe Aud can get offended and try to hit her? She is leaving because she is still wet, yet suddenly not cold -dundundunnn- but you did say that she wouldn't really feel her power until the morning anyway.

This is kind of why I wish I could make a second character - I can start scenes elsewhere. lol

Now, before I start my post, is there any plans for the cafe @Gisk?

@Polyphemus if you go somewhere Maren might wander to soon, I can have her join your scene

Maren

"Life is a special occasion, and by my count, Saturday is less than a week away, I'll be there. You might not be invited though, because I now have reason to suspect you'll steal my clothing" Said Maren, taking it in stride as she flashed her own smile. While Zoey fished the glass out of her foot, she dug in her damp pockets for a few dollars. Eventually she was able to fish out a very soggy five and slap it on the table for the demanded coffee. "There, obviously I'm used to paying a premium for quality medical care from a qualified medical professional,"

The red glow in the sky lead to Maren glancing at the window. "You mean, too early. It is only May," She said before shrugging. "It was probably just some punks lighting off fireworks," she said absently, stretching her foot and testing its pain level as the two brothers left.

A moment later, the girl, Aubrey or whatever, entered. Almost as though she was waiting for the two boys to leave, which she probably was. Maren glanced over at Aubrey. "Probably, seeing as you think they might have been," she said, with a teasing smile before making to stand up. She was ready to go home and cold-...well, the cafe surely must have warmed her up, because although she was still dripping water, she was suddenly feeling much warmer.

A Gift and a Curse

@GiskI changed the order of my post, because it makes sense that mine would come after yours.

Edit: It'll need an edit when I get home.

A Gift and a Curse

Maren

Maren made a face at the intruding twins. Audrey. That was the name. She could see a flash of the girl in the hallway of school. Audrey. Left sometime before graduation. Or was she expelled. "Aud...female? About yay high? Rides a motor cycle that may or may not be parked outside?" She paused making a hand gesture. "Nope, haven't seen her," There was a part of Maren that knew she should at least be wary of the boy, but he irritated her, so that feeling went right out the door. With that she turned pointedly back to Zoey, cutting the guy off from his order.

"Pff, everyone knows that I only skinny dip for important things. Like...New Years Day...and New Years Eve...and Easter and Halloween and Saturday and if there is tequila involved... I mean-- that is besides the point. You asked for a serial killer and you got one," She let out an uneasy laugh as she looked back down at blood trail before flicking her eyes back at Zoey.

"In all seriousness, I was behaving myself if you can believe it or not!" She called to Zoey's retreating head. She stood at the counter a moment longer before gimping over to the nearest table, dropping her still dripping shoe slightly off to the side, before raising her foot to examine the damage. A thin piece of sharp sea glass stuck out from her foot. It was too thin for her to grab with her fingernails, so she was resigned to wait for the kit.

She didn't have to wait long, as Zoey came carting it in not a minute or two later. "And," she continued, as though Zoey had never left. "That just goes to show you that I'll get hurt no matter what I do, might as well walk away with a good story," She reached into the kit and pulled out the tweezers. With a hiss, she slowly yanked the piece of glass from her foot. "It is a good thing I am not squeamish, or this would be really difficult. Speaking of making my life difficult.... none of the MacGrath's are in right? They might banish me for life for this mess," She said, setting the bloody piece of glass on the table, reaching for some gauze to wrap her foot in.

She then glanced up in time to see a red glow light up the sky. "The fuck was that?" she said, standing to get a better look, her foot almost entirely forgotten.
