Out For a Stroll

Lloyd walks down the streets of this section of New Orleans in a
light stroll. As he looks about the buildings and the people who
dwell in the area, a frown creeps upon his face. However, it is
not a frown of disapproval, but one of sympathy. To think that
these parts were once so beautiful but now rendered to being a
mess of unfortunate events. While walking by an alleyway, Lloyd
overhears a child's cries for help. Lloyd follows the pleas,
albeit nonchalantly, to a young girl about the age of fifteen
being assaulted by a large, muscular man about to force himself
on the woman.
"Excuse me," Lloyd says, "but I'm afraid I'm going to have to
ask you to stop your advances. Unless, you want deal with me."
The man turns around to see Lloyd, who he obviously towers over
and at first glance could easily crush him. The man laughs,
walks over to Lloyd, and picks him up by his suit, dangling a
rather calm Lloyd above him. "What you gonna do bout it ya
little ****?"
Lloyd looks down into the man's eyes. "You're a fool who only
knows how to use his own brute force to bully others. But today,
you've lost." Lloyd intensifies his gaze into the man's eyes.
"Leave." As the man puts him down, Lloyd makes sure to lock eyes
with him once again. "You won't be remembering anything you did
tonight. You should really stop drinking so much." The man
leaves Lloyd, never to remember what had just transpired. Lloyd
dusts himself off and looks back toward the frighted girl. He
locks eyes with the scared girl and after which she reacts as
though she had no memories of what had just transpired. "You
should be getting home. It's dangerous out here."
The girl looks at Lloyd for a moment. "Cha right old man. If I
were you, I'd get out of here before you get mugged." The girl
prances off out of the alley leaving Lloyd by himself.
"*Sigh* What has happened to this town?" Lloyd takes out a flask
and gulps down a few chugs.

"Dead souls know no mercy, and everyone's heart was drowned with
the flood." Lloyd turns to see Absinthe, picking her way through
the streets meticulously, occasionally stopping every so often
to look towards an abandoned building. A guitar is strapped to
her back, and she walks with a cane that he would recognize as
one of Devon's.
She wears a simple white shift, thin enough to almost be
transparent, and she seems to be swaying her head. Her footsteps
seem to be very sure, though she also seems to be wandering just
slightly. "Who's there? It's dark, and I can't quite make out
your face."

"I could ask you the same question, but I am Lloyd Pyrrus ma'am.
May I ask your name and what you're doing in this part of town?"
Lloyd walks to Absinthe and examines her.
"I would tell you that the streets are dangerous, but I'm sure
you already know that. Were you listening to that confrontation
that just happened by chance?"

"I listen to a lot of things. That just so happened to be one of
them." Absinthe smiles sweetly at Lloyd. "I compliment you on
your taking stance against a dastardly force."

"As I have seen, not many kindred would leave the comfort, and I
do use that term lightly, of their daily lives in order to help
those whom they deem weaker than them. I, on the other hand, do
not have those inhibitions in my character. What brings you out
here miss?"

"A pretty voice, or a kind melody. I'm not sure which." Absinthe
grins cheekily. "And yourself, sir?"

"Well not to be a vigilante of sorts that's for sure. I
sometimes walk through this place to see what the world could do
to a people so quickly and abruptly. It's terrifying really;
That the Earth itself can just demolish people's hard fought
dreams and lives like so in an instant. But one day, I hope to
see this place flourish yet again. I feel as though walking
through a place like this helps me keep my goals on the right
track, you know?"
Lloyd gives a peaceful, content smile when voicing his last
sentences.

"Well, since we're both out here with no particular goals in
mind, how about we walk together? I'm sure there's safety in
numbers, as they say." Absinthe chuckles darkly. "Lloyd, was
it?"

"I would indeed enjoy the company of a pretty woman on my
stroll."
Lloyd and Absinthe walk down the street talking back and forth.
"So how long have you been in town for? Are you a resident of
the area?"

"I am. I live with my brother Devon Bellamy, and help to tend
his club." Absinthe follows him, always just a pace behind.
