OOC: This probably can’t really get going until tomorrow, but those who want to join sign up now! Not letting too many in!

OOC: I’ll make one as soon a I get home, if that’s okay.

OOC: And like that, i’m gone. Indefinately.

Axl clocked out and stepped into his monowheel. He rode down the street and nearly hit a man drinking from his flask. “Mein gott. Sorry there, mate.”

Axl kept moving. Why this wasn’t going on his time, he wasn’t sure. He rode downtown to a parts and surplus store. On the way back he was stopped by a commotion between a few drunk fellows and a limey.

Azurel ran out of the bar and back the way she came, stuffing the money that she totally didn’t steal into one of her many pockets. She dashed through the street, jumping on top of a few vehicles to across. She turned and laughed, pleased that her chaser was stuck. When she turned around again, Azurel ran straight into a man’s back.

Azurel looked down and shoved the money farther into her pockets, “Damn…” She glanced up at him and scoffed, “I’m fine.” She glanced over her shoulder, biting he lip.

“Thanks…” Azurel muttered, her eyes darting around. She glanced up at man out of the corner of her eyes. “I’m Azurel.” She said, trying to see over the heads of the people in front of her, “But my friends and er… Business associates, call me Azure.” She crossed her arms and huffed, even in her high heeled boots, she wasn’t very tall at all.

“I can take care a myself.” Azurel insisted. She stood on her tiptoes and looked over the Trent’s shoulder, only to see a furious looking man with a bloody nose, “Shit! She shrieked, ducking down, trying to cover her hard to miss red hair.

Trent smiled as he saw an angry looking man with blood all over his face swearing up the street.

“Friend of yours I take it?” Trent thought for a moment, “If you move through the crowd then take the first alley on your right there is a latter that leads to an empty flat, it aint pretty but it has served me when I needed to disappear”

Trent saw the last glimpse of ‘Asure’ as she turned down the ally. As soon as he turned around the angry man with the bloody face was searching the crowd screaming her description to anyone who would listen. Trent has been in this situation many times before.

“Sorry guv, didn’t see anyone like that.”

anna saw a girl run off into an ally only to have a guy show up moments later asking about her, just another theif. the traffic didn’t seem to be letting up, she would have to make her way though the crowd. Anna checked all the latches on every nook in her dress, her mother was insane to not take this dress, it had so many hidden pockets, it might just fall apart without stuff in them. why did her mother think it took so long to make?

Azure finally stepped into the empty flat, sighing in relief. She walked into the bathroom and took her hair down, shaking out her bright red locks. She splashed water on her dirty face, washing the past couple day’s grime off. Walking back into the main room, she crouched on the ground and emptied out her pockets, looking through her belongings.

anna finally made it though the crowd, pockets safe and un-picked, not that those idiots could even find most of them but she still kept her watch out and loaded at 3 o’clock.

After the excitment of the fight died down he figured he should check on his new friend, he didnt want to frighten her so after acending the ladder he knocked politly on the small door and anounced himself.

“Its your fellow artist Trent” he said “just thought you might want to know there are some.vittles in the pantry, gas in the stove and a few bottles of wine on’t he counter, oh and than man that ere after yah has gon’ a different path.”

Trent took off his hat with a florish and bowed, he doubted this would amuse the young lady but old habbits were hard to break and one must remember to take joy in the simple pleasures.

“So back off into the wide world that is our lovely flying island?” He asked first looking down to the high street then up at the even higher levels of the island.

“Alas that does seem to be the price we skyefolk pay.” He grinned “Our island seems to get smaller every day. Though I havent spent much time in the upper levels” Trent raised an eyebrow, “So tell me how DOES one get up there with all the, er, well to do folk?”

He smoothed his waistcoat and brushed off his ahoulders at these words.

“Now I do admire a bussinessman, er, woman” Trent smirked, “Now I do know there are a lot of operotunities up there for a body to make some profit. Now if we say were to become associates, I am sure there would be pleanty of bits for theh both of us.”

Trent shook her hand enthusiasticly. “Brilliant, we can start plans for an upper level adventure whenever you’re ready. I would love to see the hanger where they keep the flying machines, and the actual station where they fly this lovely contraption.” He put his arm around her shoulder and pointed to the upper levels with his walking stick. “My my, what wonders must they contain.” He then walked to the edge of the building, puttin his hands on his hips surveying the level below.

Not since liftoff had Trent held so much hope for the future. It seemed naive but even so to acend to the upper levels withsomeone who had acually been. It was just too fantastic for him. Down here on the lower levels he was living a fairly good life, running picckpockets, or handling some hot merchandise low level jobs that kept a roof over his head and hot food in his belly. But here was a real chance for him to make a real change in his life. He looked over at his new partner, “Well, I suppose this calls for a celebration.” He ducked inside thrn reappeared with a dusty bottle of spakling wine and two glasses. “If a trip above isn’t woth this then I don’t know what is.” He handed her a glass then popped the cork.

OOC: Um, Trent Azurel have made a little business deal, and are planning on going to th higher levels of the city, where the wealthy live, to make more money and such.

Azure smiled, holding her glass gently, “A cause for celebration Indeed.”

Azure chuckled as she watched him, “I never take more than whas in ma pockets.” She shrugged, tucking a strand of vibrant red hair behind her ear, “Some spare money, a course. And a means of defendin’ yourself.” she winked.

Trent thought for a moment, “Shiny luck I have a few extra pockets” he smiled “and I already happen to have some money, just made a collection round this morning. He took a few boxes of bullets off the pile then filled a second flask, and buttened up his overcoat. He then took the entire pile in his arms and dropped it inside, closed the door thwn walked back onto the deck.

“Ready when you are” he smiled and twirled his cane.

Azure grinned and spun on her heal, “Come on, then!” She ran off, towards the edge of the building and jumped, landing on a low rooftop. She looked over her shoulder, hoping the older man wouldn’t slow her down.

Trent was still a young man but he wasnt acustomed to jumping off rooftops. “Well here we go” he told himself. Just as he went airborn he could see a flying machine heading straight for where he and Asure were heading. “Stoooop” he yelled in an effort to slow her down, for she was looking at him and not the flying machine.
