imaginationswoes | New York || Day 1

[Running is the current plan but it isn't going well. She's constantly getting lost and she's reminded again and again that she's never been out of her small town alone. She misses her family and her friends but more than that she is really missing a warm bed. Her feet continue forward, the tall buildings towering on either side of her. It's impressive, as far as cities go, but its to close together.

To much can go wrong.

She must of made a wrong turn because Airy finds herself walking along a very shady part of town. Winter is setting in but she thinks of warmth and she manages to keep herself heated. She has a backpack around her shoulders and it looks like she's wearing a uniform: white button down, green pleated skirt, black jacket and a matching tie. It's most definitely giving some of the people here the wrong idea.]

Shit.

[Airy whispers softly under her breath, a puff of white leaving her warm lips. When she spots two men pointing towards her she runs. Her feet fly across the street and she's about 75% sure they weren't following her. Mist descends on the area and Airy one again curses under her breath. She's only getting more lost at this rate and running around New York after midnight isn't on her to do list.]

[He laughs.] I've never really thought about it, but yeah, probably. [He shrugs.] Not that it really matters. Tony's more like a ghost writer, anyway

[She's just imagining Antonio singing show tunes and that mental imagine is enough to make her stifle a laugh. She looks over at Nathan and is suddenly more curious about what his work life is like.]

What's it like?

[She flails her hands awkwardly.]

Working in an office I mean.

[At her question, he chuckles slightly.]

It's...actually kind of boring. You'd think it would be cool, right? It's not.

It does sound like it'd be... interesting.

[She picks the word carefully.]

What do you do? I'm sure you have lots of employees you get to talk to.

[So it isnt like he's alone because that'd be awful.]

Mostly, I go to meetings with clients and pretend to understand architecture.

[He shrugs.]

And sure, we talk, but it's just...you know, small talk. People getting married, who one the big game. Stuff like that.

[Airy is most used to her small town mentality where that kind of talk breeds friendliness and ease. Not everyone likes each other but care about each other.

Small talk is just something that she doesn't understand and at Nathan's comment she shrugs.]

I don't know. I like talking about the weather but Maine is mostly just cold and windy. [Sometimes rainy too.]

[He chuckles. Of course she's like talking about the weather. This chick...was really cool. Weird, but cool.]

You like talking about the weather...?

[Airy feels awkward at his question.]

Yeah?

[She looks over at him curiously.]

Is that weird?

...most people around here don't do it unless it's awkward.

[He shrugs.] I've never been to a small town, though. Maybe it's different, there.

[Airy doesn't understand how talking about the weather is weird.]

Really? What about wind patterns or if it's going to rain or snow? It's generally important to know if it's going to snow alot.

[Just sayin']

[He laughs, keeping one hand on the steering wheel while he rubs the back of his neck with the other.]

We...usually watch the news for that stuff.

[For a moment Airy lapses into silence. He's right which means that while she tried very hard to be normal in her little town it wouldn't be so easy in New York. She chews on that thought for a moment; not realizing that her intent concentration about the weather began to shift and change the setting from outside.

Clouds swirl angrily together before parting for a warm September sun. It's the sound of rain that snaps her out of her thoughts and with her concentration broken the weather returns to it's original sunny state.

She glances over at Nathan awkwardly wondering if he noticed the twenty seconds of strange patterns or if his eyes were fixed on the road. She hasn't been silent for to long before she attempts to change the topic of conversation. She's only vaguely aware of the song coming onto the radio next.]

Do you do this often? [She pauses realizing 'this' can mean many different things.] I mean going out or things on your days off.

[It still sounds awkward so instead of possibly making it sound worse, she stops and returns to silence.]

[Nathan had noticed the strange weather, but now it was like his car wasn't even wet. Her powers were...weird, but not in a bad way. He did find himself wondering exactly what she was capable of, though.

It made her feel weird, though, he could tell. He wasn't about to ask her.]

Uh, yeah. I try to, when I can. It's nice to get out, you know?

[Airy nods her head her focus split between Nathan and the song that just came on the radio.]

What do you usually do?

[Since it's apparent he doesn't usually go to that particular hot dog stand.]

Uh...a lot of things. Go to the movies, catch a show. [He shrugs.] My life's sort of boring, considering my roommate's a vampire.

[Airy shrugs.]

Just because he's a vampire doesn't mean his life is all that interesting. [Though she certainly made it more interesting the night before by sicking a panther on him for a few short seconds.]

Also I don't think those things are boring. Sometimes the normal things are the best. What sort of shows do you try and catch? Maybe your friends shows? [She assumes he knows other actors and actresses.]

[Nathan laughs at that.] And trust me, it's not. I think he likes it that way.

[He shrugs.] Maybe, he, you know, lived a really long, interesting life and he got tired of it. I know it's been interesting, and he hasn't even told me that much about it.

[He nods.] I catch them when I can. A lot of times, the actors' paychecks in the smaller productions only get paid if they sell enough tickets. It...doesn't always happen.

[Airy can imagine getting tired of an exciting life pretty quickly. She's already tired of hers and it's only just sort of begun.]

Aren't vampires supposed to be all secretive? [Airy smiles to herself before then saying the first thing that popped into her head.] Maybe they are so secretive because they don't remember everything. It's a long time after all.

[Then they wouldn't want to look silly.]

Being an actor sounds like it's difficult.

[Nathan shrugs.] Maybe? Tony's never showed me a rule book about it or anything. [He smiles.] It'd be cool, though, wouldn't it? You come of age and get the "Vampire Life Handbook" handed to you. "Welcome to the real world, son."

[He shakes his head.] It's not, at least not for me. Acting's always come naturally.

Really?

[Airy smiles at the comment about the vampire but the truth is she’s more interested in Nathan than she anything else. If she has questions she’ll probably ask Antonio about it when he wakes up.]

That’s pretty amazing. I don’t have anything that I’m particularly good at.

[She isn’t sure if she had already mentioned her lack of ability to do much of anything.]
