May 15th: Finding a Purpose

by **Onyx** » Tue Jan 25, 2011 9:48 pm

Onyx was working in Mutant Town.

Since the place had a tendency to get attacked every other week a lot of buildings ended up broken down or abandoned.

While she had been wandering around London, Onyx had happened upon an old bar that had been practically obliterated during an attack.

For the past couple days she'd snuck out and began fixing it up. Removing debris and doing small repairs.

She didn't really have a plan. There was no endgame here. She was just happy to keep busy for a few hours each day.

Currently she was inside, working on fixing the floors. She had bought building supplies with some of her allowance from Victoria and with her abilities the work was actually going surprisingly quickly. Onyx assumed that eventually someone would tell her to stop or reclaim the building, but for now it was pleasant work and she enjoyed it.

((May 17th))

The building was starting to look like a respectable pub.

The debris had been cleared out and Onyx had managed to get most of the major repairs done. She had even restocked some of the liquor and glasses although the taps weren't currently connected.

Onyx hummed happily to herself as she polished the bar with a rag.

The cat wandered in the open door, sniffing curiously.

Onyx glances over at the cat briefly before heading behind the bar. She returns with a dish full of cream and places it on the floor.

The cat walked over, sniffed the cream, and began to lap it up.

by **Onyx** » Mon Jan 31, 2011 4:21 am

Onyx smiles happily at the cat.

"What do you think I should do, small cat?"

by **Elizabeth Miller** » Mon Jan 31, 2011 4:31 am

The cat purred, and butted her head against Onyx's hand.

by **Onyx** » Mon Jan 31, 2011 4:37 am

Onyx scratches the cat behind the ears gently, "I tried to raise a cat once, y'know."

"...It didn't end well."

by **Elizabeth Miller** » Mon Jan 31, 2011 5:20 am

The cat looked at Onyx quizzically, but didn't stop purring.

by **Onyx** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 1:43 am

"Not that I did anything wrong!" Onyx says quickly, "We were just not allowed pets."

"I suppose things are different now."

by **Elizabeth Miller** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 2:44 am

The cat purred louder, and hopped up onto Onyx's lap.

by **Onyx** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 2:49 am

Onyx strokes the cat idly.

"I guess I am like you now," Onyx says, "Free."

"...At least you seem very happy," Onyx muses, "That is a good omen, I suppose."

by **Elizabeth Miller** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 3:00 am

The cat meowed, and butted Onyx under the chin.

by **Onyx** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 3:03 am

Onyx laughs, "You are very cute."

by **Alyson Gregory** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 3:21 am

"It looks like you made a new friend." Alyson said as she walked in.

by **Onyx** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 3:22 am

Onyx smiles happily, "I think she likes me."

by **Alyson Gregory** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 3:39 am

"She's a cutie." Alyson said, scratching the cat's ears. "The place is looking good." she added, glancing around.

by **Onyx** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 3:41 am

Onyx nods, "It was quite a bit less work then I thought."

by **Alyson Gregory** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 3:42 am

"It won't be too long before you can open."

by **Onyx** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 3:51 am

Onyx laughs, "What would I do with a bar of my own?"

by **Alyson Gregory** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 4:31 am

"Give people alcohol in exchange for money?"

by **Onyx** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 4:37 am

"You know what I mean," Onyx says with a soft smile.

by **Alyson Gregory** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 5:07 am

"Well, you don't want to go to school, right?"

by **Onyx** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 5:09 am

"I have already received a full education," Onyx agrees.

by **Alyson Gregory** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 2:43 pm

"In that case, why not run this place?" Alyson said "If nothing else, it'd be something to do."

by **Onyx** » Tue Feb 01, 2011 11:08 pm

Onyx pauses, "I...will think about it."

by **Alyson Gregory** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:00 am

"Ok." Alyson said "No need to decide right now."

by **Onyx** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:02 am

Onyx nods, "Did you have any plans for today?"

by **Alyson Gregory** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:03 am

"Just spending time with you."

by **Onyx** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:05 am

"Well, then I am at your disposal, ma'am," Onyx says with a smile, sounding amused.

by **Alyson Gregory** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 12:14 am

"Do you have anything that needs doing around here?" Alyson asked, still petting the cat.

by **Onyx** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 1:53 am

"I don't suppose you know anything about wiring," Onyx says, "The lights are still having trouble."

by **Alyson Gregory** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 3:03 pm

"I know that its a good idea to call an electrician." Alyson said

by **Onyx** » Wed Feb 02, 2011 11:41 pm

"Well, yes, I suppose that would be the obvious answer," Onyx says with a giggle.

by **Alyson Gregory** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 1:08 am

"Thats me. Good at heavy lifting and obvious suggestions."

by **Onyx** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 7:28 pm

"Would you like a drink?" Onyx asks.

by **Alyson Gregory** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 7:37 pm

"That sounds like a good idea."

by **Onyx** » Thu Feb 03, 2011 8:27 pm

Onyx walks over behind the bar, "What would you like?"

by **Alyson Gregory** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 12:04 am

"Rum and Coke?"

by **Onyx** » Fri Feb 04, 2011 12:06 am

Onyx returns with a drink, smiling, "Here you are, ma'am."

"Don't worry. I've started you a tab."
