Has to get Home

[Rianna Smith]

Rianna was taking a shortcut to get home. Her eyes set dead ahead as her hands where in the pockets of her leather coat. It hang to her ankles. She had been out all day to find a job and wasn't sure if she would ever find one around here. The town was far away enough from the city she used to live, but the way she looked mostly chased people away. Mostly employers who she needed to get a job.

She mostly just wanted to sing. The darkness wasn't something that got to her. She had seen many movies to know this could go wrong, and yet she didn't care if someone would snatch her at the moment. It would save her the trouble of trying to find a job if she was completely honest about it. She pushed on and looked into the alley connected to the one she was in now. She stopped for a moment and looked from one alley into the other.

She knew she had gotten lost but wouldn't admit it.

[Jaxon Hearth]

Jaxon shouldered his way through the throng disgustedly. He had his duffle on his back and a billfold in his pocket, snug from his first 'barbarian' performance. It was a bigger hit than he expected and that just made him feel dirtier. A shiver ran through him as he recalled one particularly aggressive...No! I won't go there again. Just glad it's done for tonight. He angrilly scolded himself. So absorbed in his own thoughts he didn't notice the girl until he literally ran into her, knocking her almost to the ground. "Oh, shit! I'm sorry. I totally didn't see you there." Dropping the duffel, he offers her a hand, not noticing that one of the chains and collar fell from the bag. "Are you okay?"

[Rianna Smith]

Rianna fell over as the guy bumped into her, she herself hadn't been watching that well either. She sighed and moved her hand up and over the side of her head which was shaved. Her gaze down to the alley ground and her eyes to the side for a moment. She sighed for a moment. She wouldn't find any place to perform here, not that she would want to. But it was the last shot she had into finally rebuilding her own life. The bump made her stagger back and fall over. She managed to catch herself with her hands not to fall full on her behind. As the guy spoke up so did she.

I'm fine, just a bit... down to earth now."

She managed a joke and moved her hand up to his hand. Her eyes fell on the bag and what was hanging out. She then looked back at the guy and to the bag again. Her eyes trailed down to the floor with half a smile.
