Synopsis | Nicolas talks with Roselyn about her views. |
Date | January 20, 2009 |
It's early at Old Lucy's. They have just opened and it is going pretty slow. Roselyn is behind the counter setting everything up and getting everything ready for tonight. She is carrying a crate of Bottles and sets them where they belong putting some into the cooler.
Nicolas pushes open the door to the bar, looking around for a moment before he sees Roselyn and smiles. He moves to the bar, sitting down on his usual bar stool. He nods to Roselyn as he sits down. "Hey. How's work so far?" He asks as he leans against the bar, resting his forearms on the bar top.
Roselyn turns when she hears a voice and smiles when she sees Nicolas. "Hey. It's going pretty good, haven't been here long. Just getting everything stocked for tonight." she says looking at him. "How are you doing? Want something to drink?" she says with a grin on her face.
Nicolas smiles and nods his head as he looks at her. "Yeah, sure. I'll have my usual." He says as he chuckles. "Have you called your grandma yet?" He asks her after a moment, watching her work.
Roselyn nods, "Alright." she says as she pours a pint of Guinness in a mug, a shot glass with Bailey's Irish Creme and Bailey's Whiskey. She sets them down in front of him then pours him a shot of Jack Daniels Whiskey. She then reaches into the cooler and grabs a bottle of beer and pops the top setting it down in front of him. "No not yet. I'm not sure when I will call her. I don't really know what to say. I'm happy that I have found her, but I've gone all of this time thinking I didn't have anyone, and now all of a sudden I have a huge family." she says as she looks up to Nicolas.
Nicolas nods his head as he watches her work. "Yeah I can understand that. I'm happy for you. I hope you get to meet them all soon." He looks around the bar, looking to see how empty the bar is before he looks back at her. "I wanted to ask you something. About what you can do." He says, his voice lowered slightly.
Roselyn smiles and nods, "Thank You. I'll be ready eventually. It's just everything is happening too soon." she says still looking at Nicolas then turns her head to the side slightly, "What did you want to know?" she asks lowering her voice as well.
Nicolas shrugs his shoulders slightly. "Well, I was wondering if you were Registered or not." He says before he drops his shot glass into the Guinness and chugs it, setting the empty glasses on the bar top.
Roselyn looks at Nicolas, "Hell no. I'm not letting them assholes get a hold of me. I wish there was a way for me to get them back for everything they have done to people like us." she tells Nicolas, "I hate it when they take people like us and experiment on them and run tests. It's not right and we shouldn't have to deal with that. We should be able to live our lives like normal people." she says looking at Nicolas in the eyes.
Nicolas smiles as he nods his head as he listen to her. "I know what you mean, I haven't registered and I won't register. I think it's a bunch of bullshit." He says before he slams back the shot of Whiskey. "What would you do to stop it? I mean, what would you do to stop it?"
Roselyn nods her head in agreement, "I won't register either they would have to kill me first." she says looking at Nicolas, "I would do anything it takes to protect people like us. Even if it meant overthrowing the government or killing the people in government to keep it safe for us and people like us." she says still looking at Nicolas. "I would give my life for people like us to protect them and do anything it takes to keep them from getting to us." she says looking into Nicolas' eyes.
Nicolas nods his head and smiles. "That's good to know. At least we have similar views on this." He says as he sips his beer. "I can't believe they would actually pass a law like the Linderman Act or anything like that."
Roselyn nods, "I know, it pisses me the fuck off. I want to kill the son of a bitch who came up with that and everyone else who decided to pass it." she says getting a little angry. "If I had a nickel for every time I wanted to kill everyone of those motherfuckers who call themselves the leaders of this country and the people who are in the government, I'd be a billionare and then some." she says looking Nicolas in the eyes.
Nicolas laughs softly and nods. "Yeah, I know what you mean. I agree with you fully on this." He says as he looks at her. "I wish that the bomb never went off and then we wouldn't have these damn laws that are nothing more than the Nazi regime all over again."
Roselyn nods, "Yeah, I wish I could go back in time and keep that damn bomb from going off." she says looking at him, "I would do anything if we could all back to normal without having to watch our backs every second of the day, and being careful with our abilities fearful that the government or the godamn homeland will take us and do things to us that we can't even imagine." she says her facing turning a little red. "Why in the hell do they have to do this shit to us. They act like they are Gods. Like they can pick and choose who belongs and who doesn't. They aren't Gods and they don't have the fucking right to do this to us." she says as she takes a deep breath trying to get calmed down.
Nicolas grins slightly as he looks at her. "Yeah, but this is the life that we live and this is what we have to deal with. It's just going to have to deal with the cards that we have been dealt. We just have to watch each others backs and watch out for each other."
Roselyn nods, "Yeah, but why do we have to follow the rules they give us? Why can't we all get together and do something about it?" she says looking at Nicolas, "There is enough of us that we could definitely take care of them. I will forevere and always protect those around me and those that are like me." she says looking at him.
Nicolas smirks and nods as he looks at her. "Yeah, I can understand that." He says as he takes another drink from his beer. "Well, according to the news, there are groups out there that do that kinda stuff. Just don't know if there is any that are worth trusting."
Roselyn nods, "What kind of groups and why don't you know if you can trust them?" she asks looking at him a little confused. "I mean if they are like us and want to do something about it, why can't you trust them?" she says opening the cooler and grabbing herself a beer. She opens the top and takes a pretty good sized drink out of it. " I really do think we should do something about it." she says looking him in the eyes.
Nicolas smirks and shrugs. "You never know what their agendas are or who they are actually working for. Groups like PARIAH and those one s that paint up those Phoenix pictures everywhere." He takes a long pull from his bottle.
Roselyn nods, "Yeah, I guess you are right." she says looking at Nicolas. "So do you belong to a group? Just because you don't trust everyone of them doesn't mean you don't belong to a group." she says looking at Nicolas taking another drink of her beer.
Nicolas shrugs his shoulders. "I think everyone is apart of a group, whether it be officially or unofficially. I think everyone is capable of helping a group or have a group that they can relate to and think that they are doing the right thing."
Roselyn nods, "I guess you are right. I don't belong to a group, and I've never been there to help out a group. So I really wouldn't know what it would be like to work in a group to tell you the truth." she says looking at Nicolas. "I would like to be part of a group so I can help out all of the people like us." she says with a grin to Nicolas then taking a drink of her beer.
Nicolas smiles and nods. "Well, I am sure that if you keep an eye out and have patience, they'll come to you. That's probably the way things work with them." He says as he takes a long pull from his beer bottle, looking at it to see how much is left. "It's not like they have an ad in the phone book."
Roselyn nods and grins, "I know. I've been patient. I know that they wouldn't have an ad in the phone book because that would fuck everything up." she says looking at Nicolas. She reaches into the cooler and grabs another beer popping the top and setting it down in front of him. "There ya go hun." she says before thinking to herself for a second, "If you hear of any groups you think I would like to join let me know okay." she says looking at Nicolas with a smile.
Nicolas smiles and nods his head. "I'll be sure to do that." He says, draining the last of his beer and sets it down on the bar. "Thanks." He says as he takes up the fresh one. "I'll let you know. I promise."
Roselyn nods and smiles, "Thanks." she says as she looks at Nicolas. "I appreciate it. I really do." she says with a grin then taking another drink of her beer.
Nicolas smiles and nods. "Of course." He says before he tilts his head slightly. "What would your grandmother think if she knew about your powers?" He asks her with a smirk.
Roselyn shrugs, "I don't know. I don't think I would be able to tell her anytime soon." she says looking at Nicolas. "I feel a little guilty not telling her, but I don't know how much I can trust her just yet." she says looking at Nicolas.
Nicolas nods his head as he takes a drink from his beer. "Yeah. I know. You just met her and everything." He says as he chuckles. "But she does seem like a good woman though." He says as he looks at her.
Roselyn nods and smiles, "Yeah. I know. But it will take me time to get to know her before I can tell her." she says looking at Nicolas. "I'll tell her eventually, just not yet." she says looking at Nicolas in the eyes, "What would you do if you were in my situation?" she asks with a confused look on her face.
Nicolas thinks for a moment before he looks at her. "I'd find out all I could about her before I opened myself to her. Make sure that I wasn't getting scammed or being played by someone else."
Roselyn nods, "Exactly. That is why I'm not telling her yet. I don't know her well enough at all." she says with a smile. She thinks for a moment before looking at Nicolas, "I'm really glad you are here. I'm glad I am able to talk to you. I've never really had anyone that I could talk to, the way I talk to you." she says looking down from Nicolas to her bottle.
Nicolas smiles and nods. "Sure thing." He says as he looks at her. "Do you have my number?" He asks before he takes a long pull from his beer.
Roselyn smiles then looks up at Nicolas, "No. Never asked. Didn't want to invade you space like Abby and Isabelle do. I think it is kind of rude the way Isabelle is, but that is just me." she says looking at Nicolas with a grin.
Nicolas smirks and nods, picking up a napkin and writes down his phone number before he slides it over to her. "You can call me whenever you need." He says before he takes another drink from his beer.
Roselyn smiles and takes the napkin and slides it into her pocket. "Thank you. I will." she says looking at Nicolas. "I'll just be sure to call you at like 3 in the morning when you are asleep and wake your ass up." she says with a grin, "I'm just jokin, I would never do that." she says smiling.
Nicolas laughs and smirks. "That's fine. I wouldn't answer it." He chuckles softly before he takes a long drink from his beer.
Roselyn grins, "It's okay. I wouldn't do it anywayz." she says with a smile. "So." she says as she looks up to Nicolas.
Nicolas smirks as he looks to Roselyn, thinking for a moment. "So..wanna have dinner sometime?" He asks her before he kills the last of his beer.
Roselyn smiles and looks up at Nicolas. "Yeah, I'd love that." she says still smiling. "Want another one? Or do you have to go?" she says as she watches him finish his beer.
Nicolas shakes his head. "No. I gotta go. Early morning tomorrow." He says, placing a few bills on the bar top. "I'll see you later." He says with a smile. "It was good to see you again."
Roselyn nods and smiles, "I know how that is. Take care and be safe." she says looking in his eyes, "It was good seeing you as well. Have a good night." she says as she takes the bills and rings up his drinks. "Here is your change." she says holding out her hand to give it to him.
Nicolas looks back at her as he puts his jacket back on and shakes his head. "Naw. You keep it." He says with a wink before he offers her a waves and heads out.
Roselyn smiles and puts the change into her jacket pocket. Waving back as he leaves. Blushing the moment he walks out and giving a small squeek.
