Craig tried his best to laugh, though it probably sounded strained.
Holding cell? You had to bring that up.
Seeing Vance's attention on the dance floor, Craig scans the dancers to see if maybe he missed something or if there was someone out there worth looking at. Craig lifts his glass and notices it's running rather low.
"Hopefully she'll be here soon. I'm almost out and I don't want to order another one," Craig says somewhat jokingly.

*sits down across from Kristien, the nervousness shows now as she's showing the natural appearance of her skin for the first time in years. 'so? ... what do you think? .... its ugly, isn't it? .. ' *glances at the arms and then covers one with the other hand. 'its not as smooth as your's .. but its .... '
*pauses and really looks nervous, as someone moves up closer behind her. the eyes shifting from side to side to show she is aware of that much and then watches Kristien's eyes for his honest opinion. then grabs at her beer and takes a larger sip.

" Are you always this uptight?" Vance asked, setting his empty glass down. " she'll be here, okay. Jeez man, if I'd known you were gonna act like an amateur, I never would have brought you in."
Kristian catches himself checking Sierra out, and shakes the cobwebs free. " Ugly? Not at all. If anything, it's kinda... exotic. Most people wouldn't know that you didn't have them done by a body artist. " without realizing it, he was staring again and had to look away.

*seems somewhat stunned .. and then smiles broadly and goes pink. 'you don't ... you like it? .. you're not grossed out?' *then the adoration she feels just then blossoms for all to see, along with the lowering of the face to hide the burning cheeks. finally looks up 'that ... that means a lot to me. thank you' *then seems barely able to stop the huge smile, as the club seems to fade into the immediate background for her

" Grossed out? " Kristian leaned forward, so he didn't have to shout over the music. " I'm a paramedic, remember? I deal with blood and dead people everyday. I admit it took me by surprise, but it's nothing to be ashamed of."

*stares into Kristien's eyes, entranced by the color and the honesty showing in them. then leans forward so she can't be heard by others just then. 'thank you for the honesty. i'll remember that for a long time. ... ' *then sits back and finally gets her mad blushing under control.
*she sips at the beer again, then stands up and moves so she can say "gonna get some water and a bag of chips .. want something from up there while i'm up?' *unaware that her arm brushed his, her eyes watching his face and shifts instinctively closer when someone moves past, behind her

" No, I'll be right here." Kristian replied as he leaned back in his seat and sipped at his beer. He pulled out a couple of bills and offered them to her. " Bring me back a bag too, please."

"Amateur? Yeah, I guess I am," Craig replied honestly. He shifts uncomfortably in his seat. "It's been awhile since I've been... ya know, on a job. Maybe another one will help me relax." Tossing back the last bit in his cup, Craig motioned for the waitress when she walked by and ordered another beer.
"So, are any of the others... gifted... or just you?"

*chooses to make her way to the bar by way of the 'table' area and not thru the dancers. the polite ' 'scuse me sir .. ma'am ... ' as she edges past some people, and the timid smile and eyes that drift about as she takes everything in.

" Just me on this job, bud." Vance replied, watching the girl from acrossed the room head towards the bar. " Got a pal whose busy elsewhere, that why I needed you to add a little muscle. " As the waitress brought another round of drinks, he said to himself. " Any other night and I'd have to go introduce myself to her. " He turned back and looked towards the door as another woman entered, accompanied by an obvious bodyguard. " There she is. now we just have to wait for her to lose the dog."
Most of the other patrons ignored Sierra as she made her way to the bar. The bartender, an older bald man who was nearly as broad acrossed the shoulders as he was tall glanced at her as she stood there waiting. As he poured a draught for another customer, he asked, " What can I do you for?"

*opens the mouth and then blinks ' oh my. you're large, but in a good way .. ' *closing the mouth and winces 'uhh .. that came out wrong, sorry. a large water and 2 bags of those chips there please? ... '
*eyes widening as she glances at some of the others in the immediate area, and suddenly wishes that Kristien is nearby as some crowd a little in getting past behind her. 'must be kinda fun working here huh? ... ' *staring at an obvious mutant and then shakes the head and looks at the bartender once again and smiles in what she hopes is an nonthreatening manner

" Large?" The bartender chuckled. " Guess you can figure how I got the name Anvil then." He sets a bottle of water and two bags of chips on the bar in front of her. as he takes her money and hands back her change, he shrugs," It has it's moments. Working in a place like this you soon realize how many inhumans live here in Miami."

*the impulse to state the obvious or something is stopped only by her hand covering her mouth ... and then the urge passes. 'a lot? .. are they all meta's? ... ' *then looks about briefly, and then back again*
'oops ... i did it again ... i'm sorry ... ' *feels really bad about not being able to stay quiet .. and knows this will be troublesome very soon if she can't stop. 'thanks anvil ... i'm SIerra .. ' *then extends her hand in a proper greeting, then realizes he's working and goes scarlet

Anvil shook her hand. " Nice to meet you. No, not all of them are all metas, but we get alot of them. The set this place up so they'd have a place of their own to get out for a night. Word spread like wildfire, and everyone keeps things pretty quiet so they don't have to deal with me or one of the boys outside. This must be you're first time here. Frag treating you good?" He motioned towards Kristian as he flipped of a mouthy customer that was complaining about waiting for his beer.
