Feb 11 - A bar somewhere in the Capital

by **Julia White** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:04 pm

For a moment Crossfire had considered putting on her Acolyte uniform to go out drinking, but had come to the conclusion that it might just be too pretentious. Just a tiny bit though. So she's in her civilian clothes, nursing a beer at the bar.

A young man a long dark trench coat took the stool next to her. The back had a colorful fractal tree design sewn into it.

"You're certainly a hard one to find."

by **Julia White** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:16 pm

"It's a big city." she says, glancing to the side to look Andre over.

by **Andre Jacquard** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:24 pm

She, of course, didn't know him from a hole in the wall. This fact made his next remark rather strange.

"I've got the info you asked me for."

by **Julia White** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:30 pm

"That's awesome. I got some info for you too. You missed the noir fad by a couple of years."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:40 pm

"You forget one all-important detail: I don't even own a hat," he smirked.

by **Julia White** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:43 pm

"Congratulations on not being a dork?" she grins back, seeming to be in a generally good mood.

by **Andre Jacquard** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:44 pm

He chuckled.

"Now... do you want that dirt on Tesso or not?"

by **Julia White** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:47 pm

"I don't know anything about a Tesso..." she lies, eyeing Andre somewhat suspiciously.

by **Andre Jacquard** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:49 pm

"Too many ears... gotcha," he nodded knowingly.

by **Julia White** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 5:59 pm

Her eyes narrow ever so slightly and she grabs Andre by the collar of his coat and pulls him with her into a booth deeper inside the bar.

"Okay, what kind of game are you playing here?"

by **Andre Jacquard** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 6:01 pm

"Game?" he asked with a raised brow.

by **Julia White** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 6:02 pm

"Let's start from the top. Who the hell are you?"

by **Andre Jacquard** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 6:07 pm

"Very funny Barrage." He rolled his eyes.

by **Julia White** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 6:11 pm

"Bar-who? Do I look like I'm joking to you? I've never met you and if you don't tell me where you've heard about me looking for information on Tesso this is going to get a lot less funny soon."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 6:16 pm

"Aside from you telling me?"

by **Julia White** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 6:54 pm

"I think I'd remember that." she points out, quirking an eyebrow.

by **Andre Jacquard** » Mon Apr 26, 2010 7:05 pm

"Oh!" he exclaimed, as if something had dawned on him, "You're one of those multiverse refugees aren't you?"

by **Julia White** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 2:26 am

"Are you on drugs or something? I'm not from any other universe and I have never met you."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 1:50 pm

"No drugs. I suppose you don't remember that little fight with Tarasque's boys in Ascension Plaza? The one where I saved your ass?"

by **Julia White** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 1:55 pm

"You mean those two morons? Yeah right, like I'd need anybodies help dealing with those jokers."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 2:06 pm

"Two? I distinctly remember four. One for each of that ugly bastard's arms."

by **Julia White** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 2:19 pm

"Are you sure you're not the one who fell through one of those distortions?"

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 2:55 pm

"I think I'd remember... that..." he answered, trailing off in thought.

by **Julia White** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 3:02 pm

"And I'm about to take you into custody for having classified information if you don't start making sense soon."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 3:59 pm

He suddenly winced and put his hand to his head as if he had a terrible headache. He began muttering quietly, focusing on his words.

"My name is Andre Jacquard my parents are Sébastien and Brigitte Jacquard. I am nineteen years old. I live in 506 Helix Tower. I am an artist. My name is Andre Jacquard my parents are Sébastien and Brigitte Jacquard. I am nineteen years old. I live in 506 Helix Tower. I am an artist.

Now that's just creepy...

"Hey! Cut it out, Rain-Man."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 5:06 pm

His attention jumped to her.

"Oh God.. I'msorryIshouldgo!" he said worriedly as he scrambled to his feet.

by **Julia White** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 5:14 pm

"Whoa whoa whoa!" she jumps up herself and a couple of flares shoot from her hands and explodes in front of Andre. "You're not going anywhere until you explain to me why you think I want info on Tesso."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 5:19 pm

He stopped fast.

"Sometimes I'm not myself... Well, I am and I'm not..."

by **Julia White** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 5:22 pm

"Uhu... Go on. And sit your ass down again."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 5:32 pm

He sat down and sighed, burying his head is his hands briefly before looking to her.

"I'm not... sure what's happening to me okay? I have these... dreams... and lately when I wake up its like I'm... another me..."

by **Julia White** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 5:38 pm

"That doesn't explain anything. You're telling me you dreamt up info on Tesso and that I'd be looking for it? What's your mutation? And if you say telepathy now your ass is so toast..."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 5:45 pm

"I make strings of energy, no telepathy. As for the stuff I see... some of it actually happens, although... differently. And," he said, pulling out a manila envelope, "these are actually just sketches. The me I just was assumed it was his."

by **Julia White** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 5:50 pm

"Sketches of what? Don't make me play the 'This is Acolyte business' card here..."

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 5:53 pm

"People, birds, fractals... floral patterns..." he said, tossing it to the table. "Go ahead and look."

by **Julia White** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 6:13 pm

Just a nut-job with a lucky guess afterall... she tells herself as she fans out the sketches on the table and glances them over. Right up to a drawing of a colourful-looking person talking to what appears to be several different 'versions' of someone else. She pulls out that particular page and her eyes go wide.

"Did you see this too?" she asks, slapping the sketch back on the table in front of Andre.

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 6:19 pm

"Yes. A few versions even.... I think... someone who looks like you might have been in a couple of them..."

by **Julia White** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 6:28 pm

"Congratulations. You just got your ass placed under arrest. For... I'm not even sure what exactly. Let's call it espionage." she frowns, pulling out a cell-phone and dialing Cassiel's number.

by **Andre Jacquard** » Tue Apr 27, 2010 6:49 pm

He sighed.

You really landed in hot water this time didn't you?
