continuing his staredown with Dimitri, Jason past the couple in the hallway as they left slowly. Jane called back, " I'll call ya later."
Turning away to face alice, Jason smiled lightly. " You dropped this in the alley." He held out her address book. " You're lucky I found it before the cops did, or they'd be casing your place right know too. I had a helluva time finding this place, you move around so much." After a short pause, he added. " And I wanted to apoligize for being an ass."

Alice gently takes her address book from Jason. She walks to the door of her apartment, and when she reaches the door asks "Are you coming inside?" Jason follows her quietly and Alice tells him to make himself comfortable, and he sits on the couch. Alice locks the door behind her and sits on the couch beside Jason, "I owe you an apology as well. You helped me out, and then I acted, well, like a bint." She says, grinning humourlessly. Alice stares ahead at the wall and continues, "I was really freaked out by what happened and I took it out on you, which you didn't deserve and for that I'm sorry."
Feeling uncomfortable, Alice asks "Oh, did you want a drink or something?" As she jumps up to go to the kichen, she thinks 'I could sure use one right about now'

" I'm fine thanks." Jason replied, taking a seat and quickly deactivating his suit. " I was just worried one of the cops might have followed you when their raid tripped the security at my place. I'm glad I was wrong." He grinned, shifting his legs with his hands to balance his sitting better. " I take it your friends weren't happy to see me?"

Alice grins "My friend Janey came to warn me about, and I quote, 'some creep in a funky jumpsuit' who was looking for me. I suspected it was you when she told me that the person seemed annoyed with me." Alice shrugs "She thought you were an ex who'd decided to start stalking me or something. I only met Dimitri today, he's going out with Janey."
Alice sits on the chair opposite of Jason. "On the train ride home, I heard two women talking about the raid on your apartment. I was worr.. I'm glad you're ok."

" Funky jumpsuit?" Jason chuckled. " It's been called alot of things, but thats a new one." He grinned at her show of concern, but couldn't help noticing that her gaze tended to shift down at his legs a couple times. His tone held now sign of annoyance as he explained. " I have a little control, but not much." He wiggled his foot slightly. " My spine was nearly severed a while back when some friends and I crossed paths with a couple of real badasses... whoops, sorry bout the language. Anyways, they turned out to be more than we were prepared for because of poor leadership and I ended up like this. " He forced a smile, but the pain in his eyes was evident. " Pretty sick joke, if you ask me. I used to be able to outrun the subway for fun, now look at me."
with a huff, he changed the subject. " Anyways, thats enough self pity for today. I just wanted to make sure you were okay and return your book. I have to get to the library to use one of their computers to access the uplink to my security cams." He turned on his suit and started to get up.

A ton of questions, such as 'How can someone run faster than a subway?' but runs through Alice's head, but she gets the impression that Jason wouldn't like those types of questions, so she doesn't ask. Instead, Alice gets up as Jason does, chuckling "Don't worry about cursing," she replies "you haven't seen me in computer programming class. Almost got my mouth washed out with soap" She smiles, remembering the look of shock on the teachers face.
Alice walks Jason to the door, and impulsively she kisses him on the cheek "Thank you for everything" She says softly, and then steps away from him, and stands by the door, waiting to lock it after he leaves.

Jason blushed slightly as Alice caught him off guard. " You're welcome. " He grinned as he started to leave, before whirling on his heels, a slight smirk on his face. " Did you say programming? Listen, I'm not really that good with computers and I could really use you help, say , down at that coffee shop on the corner. I'll even buy, provided you're no into that mochacafecappawhatchamacallit stuff that takes ten minutes to make a mug the size of a thimble and costs ten bucks."
" Tell you what," He added after a moment," I'll even answer all those questions you're just dying to let out."

Alice laughs "I drink tea actually, not those fluffy american drinks all the coffee places serve here. That sounds fine." Her smile fades a little as she answers "I don't know if I will be able to help you, but I can try."
Smirking, she adds "I'm sure you've got a few questions you want to ask me. I'll save you the time and give you what's probably the answer to most of your questions: I don't know." Looking at her watch, she says "I'll meet you at the coffee shop in 10 minutes or so." Alice then closes the door softly and locks it. Resting her head against the door for a minute, she wonders if she will be able to handle what she finds out. Sighing, Alice figures she doesn't really have much of a choice and starts to get ready to meet Jason at the coffee shop.

" Sounds good, I appreciate the help." Jason nodded with a friendly smile and left, not prodding as she'd expected, leaving her to sort things out.
When she arrives at the coffe shop, it doesn't take much effort to find Jason. His sputtering at the computer's imcompetence can be made out as soon as she entered, and was causing several people to stare.

Alice can't help but laugh a bit a the sight of Jason's sputtering. Walking up behind him quietly, she says, pretending to be serious "Step away from the computer!" Jason whips his head around startled, and Alice snickers. "Gotcha!" she grins. She stands next to him and gently shoves him to the side, so she's standing in front of the computer. "No wonder you have trouble with computers" she teases with a grin "insult them and they'll never do what you want."
Alice looks over at the computer screen, and asks "Ok, what exactly do you need help with?"

Jason rolled his eyes at her away from the computer screen, smiling once he saw who it was. On the screen was a login for csomething called the National Surveillance and Control Agency. " My password is gone, think you could hack it?"

(OOC: with a -40 penalty against her, and her skill % being 40... is there any point in rolling?  ) Alice looks at the computer screen, doubt filling her features. "I don't know" she replies honestly, "I've never tried it before." Taking a deep breath, she gives it her best shot. Her first 2 attempts fail as she's booted back to the login screen. The third try, it looks like the screen is going somewhere other than back to the login screen. Alice starts to feel a glimmer of hope, until she sees that the computer screen has gone to a beastiality porn site, complete with loud noises which causes the people close to them in the coffee shop to give them curious looks. Flushing a bright red, she frantically shuts the browser down. Not making eye contact with Jason, Alice sighs quietly, giving up. "I guess I won't be much help to you. I'm sorry." Feeling embarrased and awkward, she adds "Look, I'm going to take off now. You'll need to find someone who can actually help you, instead of wasting your time." She starts gathering up her things, getting ready to leave. (tag) |

Jason forced himself to stop laughing as Alice got up. " Don't worry about it. Odds are they would've detected an unauthorized connection and came looking anyways." He motions to one of the tables. " Look, we'll just have some coffee, or tea, or whatever and talk. " He asks , with a hint of pleading. " It's been a while since I could relax with someone like this and I'd appreciate the chance."
Without waiting for a reply, he started for the counter, pausing when he nearly got run over by a pair of teenagers headed for the computers, before continuing to the counter to order.

Alice watches Jason head towards the counter, with a puzzled look on her face. 'He's so odd' she thinks to herself. Alice frowns slightly as the teenagers nearly knock him over in their rush to get to the computer. Silly teenagers, always in a hurry to get somewhere' she thinks. Walking behind them, she glances over at the screen out of habit and thinks she sees the website that she and Jason were just looking at. Alice hurries past them, so they wouldn't notice her watching, and tries to convince herself that they probably wouldn't be able to do anything with the site either.
Alice walks over to the counter and stands beside Jason. "You've convinced me" she says, smiling at him "Earl grey, 2 milks, 2 sugars. Please & thank you." She motions to an empty table just over to their left. "I'll be over there, at that table."

" Here you go." Jason said as he took a seat, setting her cup on the table. He watched the two teens curiously, then focused on her. " I have to ask, how did you know what my suit was? most people wouldn't have a clue."
