A world assunder.

Nicko picked up a pamphlet while rollerblading and read it."Calling all citizens of Ravensburg to the council house for a town meeting food will be served just bring yourselves thank you very much.

Signed:City Council.

Francis threw the pamphlet to the ground as he walked towards the meeting, pistols in their holster. Just in case. You never knew what would happen in those city meetings. Hell, the Mayor could just pop up and eat something. Francis was going to be at least armed. A little bit. As he neared City Hall Francis put out his cigarette. "Showtime." He said, busting in the doors.

Nick pulled up in his SUV to city hal and stopped he looked back at Nicko while he pulled out his keys.

Avent opened the door to Nick's SUV and got out, he walked to the City hall doors with one hand in his pocket he slowly opened the door to City Hall and took a seat in the back.

Nicko got out and skated in sitting beside Avent looking around at the full town hall."Man this place is packed Avent.

"This is probably all or most of Ravensburg" Avent said as he scratched his Pi tattoo.

Nicko looked around and sighed not seeing his dad as usual.Avent I have to use the bathroom.

nick took a seat next to both of them and pointed to a hot blonde in the next row "Man what i would do for that ass mmm..hmm"

"Thanks for talking like that about my sister. I am so proud." Francis said with a chuckle, pulling out his iPod and pausing the current song (Fake it, by Seether). "And.... screen lock. Does anyone know what this meeting is about?"Francis asked, trying to get comfortable in his seat.

"Well given the recent news about this disease, I am assuming that the meeting will consist mostly of news and updates about the recent changes, and even possibly the precautions we might need to take" Avent explained.

Nicko sat back sliding his skates back and forth on the carpet."Ughhh come on already fucking old people always wanting to be important don't they know no one cares.

"Could you actually show some respect man? Or even a little bit of civility?" Francis asked, leaning over and slapping the man in the face. "Many people would say that you weren't important. So just shut up."

Nicko dodged it and laughed."Dude I could get you arrested trying to hit a kid you stupid?

"Police? Theres one officer here. And I really don't think that he can do that much." Francis said, calming down a lot. He then directed his attention to the people sitting in front of him, particularly on the girl. "Dibs." he said childishly, climbing over some seats until he sat next to the woman. "Hello, I'm Francis. Odd not to know a person in such a small town, huh?" he said, pushing the charming level to maximum.

Avent smiled at his childishness. "I suppose that is how they handle that here" Avent said as he pulled out his PDA and began running his fingers over the button quickly.

Bailie simply picked up easily upon the childish claim upon her.. She kept her eyes closed so that the emerald hues were hidden from view while the chair beside of her became occupied. A smile curved her lips, forcing them to part after a moment so that she could show her teeth. Her head turned so she could glance at the male next to her. She looked his face over and then settled her gaze upon his own. "Hmn. Hello, Francis.. My name is Bailie," she said, her eyes being hidden behind of thick lashes for a moment. Her hands shifting in her pockets to then lay in her lap. She then simply nodded towards him. "Yeah.. I suppose it is a pity to not know someone in such a small town.. especially when I've lived here my whole life."

She then flicked her attention forward so she could listen to what was said behind of her. She couldn't make out what was said completely, but it came from a man and it was a comment to the childish claim on her own person.

Nicko sighed boredly laying his his head back.

Francis shrugged as the person beside him shifted her gaze forward. Guess that's the end of that [/i] he thought, pulling out his iPod once more. He plugged in his headphones, with splitter as always, and began flipping through his songs. Because of his ADHD, Francis wasn't able to stay on a song more than a minute. After 3 minutes, he began realizing how loud his music was and turned it down a bit, hoping that it didn't disturb the apparent rest of the girl sitting next to him.

She turned her attention back to Francis after a few moments. She noticed he had an iPod and smiled gently. Her eyes flicked down to the screen, watching the titles flick by as he skipped through the songs. It was something she did. She couldn't help it... she usually only listened through a whole song when she wanted to sing, but even then.. she barely ever sang through a whole song. She over heard the music being played, a smile curving her lips again. "Nice taste in music," she said, looking up towards his eyes and away from the iPod's screen.

"I know a lot of people that would disagree, unfortunatly. 'Rock and roll is the devils music!' and such. Yet they don't hate on rap. I never got that. Maybe it's because the music I like actually has a melody, harmony, and takes at least a little bit of talent to preform." Francis said, Rambling a bit. He had thought about this a lot. He then proceeded to taking out one earbud, the one facing Bailie, so he could attempt to listen to both his music and the woman at the same time. "Oh, crap." Francis said as the lead singer of Disturbed started cursing at his mother. "My LEAST favorite part of the song." he said to himself mindlessly

Jason stood in the middle of the room, leaning up against a wall. He Had his head down, silently humming to himself, tapping his foot. He reached into his vest pocket and pulled out the flier he received in the mail for the meeting, now wrinkled up and slightly torn from him reading over it, pocketing it, then pulling it out again to read. He had it mostly memorized, he just didn't know what else to do other than wait. 'My HAM Radio had been picking up signals from the cities around about some disease, but no one outside has even heard of this town, much less entered it. Calm down, Steam...'

Nicko leaned back both hands tapping his chair as he waited for something like a actual meeting to happen if they got lucky they could just go with no problems and tomorrow would be the same.

She nodded, her head canting as her hair shifted. Fringed bangs fell into her eyes for a moment. She then moved a hand, pushing them aside so that she could actually see him. "Yeah.. I hear that all of the time.. Apparently rap gives us a message, explaining to us moral values and honored opinions. Psh. As if talking about a gang and how much they love to fuck women is remotely moving in anyway.." her eyes rolled as she looked off to the side for a moment. She then looked back over to Francis, a smiling curling her lips. She hadn't meant to ramble, but he had done it so she found it safe to go on about the subject a bit. Music was one of her favorite things. She then reached for the unoccupied headphone and slid it into her hear carefully. She smiled gently. "At least he has a mother to curse at," she mumbled beneath her breath. She couldn't even begin to imagine what life would be like if she had a mother.. but she fantasized that it would have been a lot easier.

"Rather have a father than a mother." Francis said, spite easily recognizable in his eyes. If he ever got a hold of the man who was ballsy enough to call himself Francis's 'father' God knows what he would do. When is this thing going to start?"[/color] he asked himself. "Looks like most of the town is her-come on. Not again." Francis said, baning his iPod against the unoccupied seat in front of him to try to get the screen to work. "Peace of shit. Knew I should have gotten the nano."
