So Fast so Far (open)

[David Blaze]

OOC((Prefer no fighting, but if it happens it happens.))

David grunted in thought, looking over the large callapsed portion of the school. He had not been here during this- a mistake he wished he could remedy. Past was past, though, and all he wanted now was to try and figure things out as they were. Both the supervisors, Purple and Orange, caused a lot of damage before they were defeated, yet David couldn't pinpoint why. They came to the school to apparently make it better, and yet left the school in worse shape than it had been in before they arrived. He exhaled slowly. None of it truly made any sense to him. Were they really just out for personal gain, or was there a predetermined goal behind the madness? He turned toward the doorway leading back into the broken and battered building, then flicked his gaze over the rubble once more.

turning toward what was left of 42, David walked away from that decimated portion he had been evaluating. He opened the door casually, being welcomed by the thick sense of lunch and devain babble which seemed to rush together in his head. He looked over the students, wondering how they could go about thier lives as if nothing were wrong when snakes were constantly in thier mist. He put his hands in the large white sweater he wore, shaking his head slowly before walking through a small crowd of students and passing outside into a small back alley that was rarely used. Leaning against the wall, he tilted his head back, breathing heavily. He felt angry, for some reason. Not at anyone in particular, but mostly himself. Perhaps if he had been there he could have helped.

He doubted it though.

He let his body sink to the ground to rest, his ears waiting for the welcoming bells that would later start the next string of classes.

[Delilah A. Black]

Instead of welcoming bells, it would be a bone rattling crack as the push-door flew open and slammed against the wall that held it, the force that opened it nothing short of a flying and bloodied body which promptly hit the opposite wall. The boy lifted his head towards david and was only able to get a few unintelligable syllables out of his mouth before a thick steeltoe boot planted itself firmly in his chest, sending him into multiple coughing and wheezing fits as he doubled over. The boot, of course, belonged to no other than Delilah Black.

Taking a fistful of hair in her hands, Delilah also grabbed his left arm and twisted it in a painful shoulder-elbow and wrist lock thatw as braced with her knee against the back of his shoulder, his fingers facing behind him. He gasped with pain and dropped to the ground stomach first. She dropped a knee onto his locked elbow and held him against the ground, reefing back on his head with nothing but his hair. He made little gasping noises as his eyes watered. His nose appeared to be three different kinds of busted and one tooth was definitely missing.

Delilah glanced up breifly at the guy sitting in teh alley not too far was where she was. She gave him a cheery wave, accompanied by a grim smile before she started searching the kids pockets, throwing whatever contents she came across over her shoulder. She frowned, obviously unable to find what she was looking for and leaned in close.

"Where is it?" her voice was sickly sweet, her eyes glimmering with the kind of bloodlust only the very volatile could ever accumulate.

"I-I don't know what you're talking abOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!" he screamed with pain as she slipped her other knee between his shoulder blades and pressed down as she pulled back harder on his hair. His legs thrashed uselessly behind him.

"I've given you seven chances to tell me. This is the eigth. I'm not a big believer in the number nine. So. Either you tell me, or I start making it really painful."

His eyes widened at the prospect of more pain and he began to figdet violently in an attempt to escape Delilah's hold. The kid beneath her outweighed her by a considerable amount and was getting close to throwing her off, despite her position of dominance and her balance training. She quickly moved both her knes down to his kidneys and dug them in, while her two hands went onto either sides of his neck and pulled back on the skin into his jugular vein and corodid arteries, lifting his upper body almost completely off the ground as she pulled. He gasped and floundered with pain for a few seconds before falling completely limp. Delilah released him without mercy, letting his head smack into the ground below. Without so much as a word, she continued searching the kid for whatever it was he stole, checking under his shirt, the backs of his legs, even his more 'delicate areas'. That mattered little to her at the moment and was of course, none to gentle. Finally,she came across his shoes, which she ripped off and shook. Twin packets of white powder fell out of his right shoe and onto the ground. Her lips twisted into an ironic smile and she pocketed both of these before heaving the kid up with strong arms and throwing him unceremoniously back through the door, closing it sgently behind him. Sighing, she slumped against the opposite wall and leaned her head against the cool brick. She turned her head to look at the boy sitting a few feet away. "Tell me you're not a pillar."

[David Blaze]

A loud noise caused Davids head to snap up, watching as a boy suddenly slammed into the wall near him. He stared overat the kid, cocking an eyebrow as he tried to say something. A girl came out and began to rummage through the kids pockets, obviously trying to find something. David, who normally would have put a stop to something like this long ago, sat watching with an amused look on his face. Why? He didnt know. Maybe it was at the prospect of a boy getting beraten up and robbed by a chick, or maybe it was the sudden smile and wave she gave him. Whatever it was, David let the girl continue until suddenly the fellow went limp.

At that point, he actually had a reason not to stop her- the guy stole something from her. How embarassing. Steal something from her then get your ass handed to you by her. Justice incarnate. He watched as she uncermoniously chucked the poor unconscious child back the way she had come, slamming the doors after. David could only picture the mixed looks of curiosity and wonder at the sudden flying body through the halls, and this almost brought a laugh. He just grinned, watching the female slide down the wall and look over at him.

"Tell me you're not a pillar."

"No, i'm not." For once. "I suspect if i was i would have stopped you while you were beating on him, no?" He looked to her pockets, a little curious as to the item she had retrieved. What was important enough that she had beaten the holy hell out of a fellow just for taking it?

"So, tell me, what did he steal that caused you to break his spine?"

He gave a smile as he said it.

For some reason, tough girls attracted him...

Weird.

[Delilah A. Black]

"No, i'm not."

"Good."

"I suspect if i was i would have stopped you while you were beating on him, no?"

She had to grin at that and she nodded her head lightly. True enough. Though she'd been stopped by lesser people for lesser things, or not stopped by 'greater' people because she ended up doing their dirty work and so on. You knever knew just how corrupt people could be.

"So, tell me, what did he steal that caused you to break his spine?"

Her grin spread and she chuckled darkly. She raised both her hands and opened and closed her fists rapidly. "It sure looked that way, didn't it? What I actually did was close off the veins in his neck ans stopped the blood flow to the brain for a few seconds. What I did to his back was nothing short of just for the pain of it. He'll be pissing blood for a few days. As to what he took..." she looked down at her own pocket and considered not telling him. After all, it didn't really involve him. And what she had taken back was contraband after all, even if she didn't intent to use or sell it, she would still go to prision for years on end if caught.

But then again, he wasn't a pillar. She shrugged and pulled one of the packets out of her pocket and wiggled it at him, the white powder dancing behind the clear blastic. "Meth."s he said simply and honestly. She tucked it back in to her pants and knitted her hands together and placed them on her lap. "Fucker took it out of the dash in my car and keyed it in the process. That was the broekn teeth and nose...I think I fractured his cheekbone too, but I can't be sure." she blew her bangs out of her eyes. "I'm not a user or a dealer, if you're wondering...but I am useing it for other purposes thata re still slightly less immoral." she wriggled both her eyebrows daringly and smiled reassuringly. Despite her nonchalance, she was a little on edge. She could sense the power this guy held and the fact that he was a stranger set her on edge a little. She didn't expect him to be discreet, but it would be hard for her to act against him if he wasn't. Not impossible, but sure as hell hard.

"I'm Delilah Black, in case you needed a name for the face." She nodded politely in his directon.

[David Blaze]

David made a little face of "ouch" when she said he would piss blood for days. He put a hand on his groin as mock comfort for the guy, before reaching up and scratching his neck, chuckling slightly. He watched her think for a moment as to whether to tell him before she pulled out a package of white stuff- what he couldn't see from that distance. She said it was meth, and that caused him to raise an eyebrow. Normally he would give a long spiel about how its not good for you and to be careful with it and blah blah blah, but he just didnt think he had it in him. He could just ignore it, for one day at least. then she said she wasn't selling it or using it, causing him to rethink the spiel.

What use would she have for Meth?

"David Blaze, pleased to meet you."

He stood, walked a little closer to her, then sat down again on the opposite wall, that way they wouldn't have to talk from such a distance. He pointed at the package of crystal meth that was now buried in her pocket.

"I hate to pry but curiosity is one of my downfalls. Besides using it or selling it, what other reason could you have for having that?" He gave a scouts honor sign with a hand. "I promise i won't tell."

Though this girl wouldn't know that, Davids word was like gold. If he gave it, he kept it, even if he didnt want to.

It was tough work having an honor code, but he kept to it no matter what.

[Delilah A. Black]

"I hate to pry but curiosity is one of my downfalls. Besides using it or selling it, what other reason could you have for having that?" Delilah's eyes moved to David's hand and he gestured his honesty. "I promise i won't tell."

I've heard that before, she thought mildly, but she surprised herself by considering telling him everything. Who did she have to confide in these days? She'd left Rem a while back, and while Stu, Em and Ryuu were trustworthy enough (she wasn't entirely sure about Gabriel at the moment) there was so much she couldn't say because she had given her 'scouts honor'. Not to mention Winter's wasn't there to simply look at her, know what she was thinking, and nod his understanding. She didn't have that here in San Francisco. Maybe it was time to open a few doors?

Delilah smiled wickedly at David. "Tell you what. I'll let you guess. I'll tell you if that guess is right, wrong or close. You get three. But first..." she moved her legs up to her chest, puiushed her body off the wall and sat in a deep crouch her feet flat on the ground. She put her elbows over her knees as she looked at him, her eyebrows drawing together curiously. "...I'm rather curious by nature myself. That said, what's got a nice guy like you lurking around all by his lonesome, mm?" She lifted her chin and her smile spread slightly. "You can answer that or not. But it might help you if you showed me how specific you can be so I can reciprocate."

[David Blaze]

David smiled back. Though his mood was much the same as it had been when he first arrived, he never passed up an opportunity for knowledge, for knowledge was power, as this girl obviously knew. He shrugged.

"Tell you what, rulemaker, i've got some of my own. If you want to play this game, we'll do it on equal terms." He remained seated, not threatened in the least by her standing or posture. Not that she couldn't be a threat but he felt that, if she was going to attack him, he could defend or dodge better from the ground, especially in the small gap of room they had. He pointed for a second with his finger. "If you want to know about me, then lets make an exchange instead of having guesses. And lets make this really dangerous- You can ask me anything about anything, and in return i get to do the same. Five questions each. All answers have to be the total truth." He gave his own wicked grin. "You want me to heal your curiosity, i want you to heal mine."

"Thats the worst yet best idea i have for it. I'll ask first or answer first, whichever you want, if you agree to it, and you can base your answer to my questions off my answers and vice versa. Agreed?"

David felt strange- he never, ever did things like this. Divulging information that could be particularly harmful to himself or anyone he knew to a random girl with meth and a habit for fucking her enemies up was far too dangerous- but then, if you couldn't have fun with even the most valuable things, why have them?

Besides, it wasn't like he was giving it to her for free, right?

[Delilah A. Black]

She grinned at his conditions and put more weight on her calves, deepening her crouch a little more. She waved a flippant hand and nodded her head, interested inspite of herself. "Very well. Ask away."

((OOC: sorry I couldn't be longer, I'm pressed for time))

[David Blaze]

He grinned.

"Very well. Besides using it or selling it, What use could you personally have for that Meth in your pocket? In other words- what do you plan to use it for?"

He figured he would get this question out of his way now, sate his terrible curiosity as far as it goes. David was intelligent, chemistry was a passion of his, and he, personally, knew of several things that could be done with it. All od them dangerous. Crystal meth was not something to be toyed with, and he wondered why, exactly, this girl would take it upon herself to do so. He Kept his arms hooked around his knees, waiting for the response the girl before him was due to pay.
