Nothing to Do, with Time to Do Stuff

[Lily Rosario]

Ah, but who may it be, walking along the sidewalks of Philly on this pleasant Sunday morning? Who but a Mr.-Ms. Lily Rosario, looking for something to do, following church. Of course, she felt lonely that Luke wasn’t there, but Luke, much as it killed her inside, was rather an unbeliever. Normally, Lily would have drowned him in holy water or something, to cleanse him of such blasphemy, but as it was her twin, a good death by blessing wouldn’t be too good. Therefore, Lily just allowed Luke to do as Luke would, and hopefully he would one day come to the light side of the force. But, back to Lily. She was still wearing a lovely, frilly little black dress with little white veil-y type things on it, and a lovely black hat with a rose pinned to it. Anyways, this dressed-up Lily wandered the streets of Philly, hunting for some fun activity to partake in, or someone interesting to meet. “Doo-doo-doo~ What to do, what to do... Hmm...” She thought very carefully, before excitedly yelling the answer to the entire streets. “I KNOW!! I’ll go see if anyone wants to get some food to eat! I need not-Luke friends too, actually... YAY FOR SOCIAL INTERACTION!!”

(Note- The Lily portrayed in this post does not correlate to the Jay posting this post. In fact, I am terrified of the prospect of Social Interaction. I just happen to be Lily’s whip-slave. O.o And therefore, she does whatever her heart desires...)

Ronnie was down the sidewalk, smiling widely as people passed. This was Philly, baby! And Philly was her town. She wore a blue camouflage trucker hate with her hair down and flowing everywhere freely. She wore a gray tight fitting tank top with her dogtags laying on top of it. Her pants were baggy black cargo pants and her usually boots with a black and blue hoodie wrapped around her waist by the arms. She may have been 25 but she never failed to look 18. Didn't really help she acted a lot younger most of the time.

She continued on her way with her arms crossed, as that was how she normally walked. Her expression rather over confident and bored. She looked up at the sky and as soon as she did she felt herself run into somebody. She jerked back and looked ready to punch somebody in the face but then straightened out and grinned, thumb doing that thing where she touches her nose then crosses her arms again, noticing she moreso ran into this rather adorable blonde grin moreso than her running into herself.

"Hey, sorry about that yo" she chuckled as she tilted her head.

[Lily Rosario]

As Lily randomly screamed to the heavens above, as was her custom, she was slammed to the ground in surprise, by some red-headed girl. And of course, as often as Lily DID attack anyone that did anything at all, EVER, she rarely attacked girls with no reason. Not only this, but TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY! Lily had been looking for someone to talk to and BAM! One appeared from thin air! "EEP! Oh, sorry about that!~" Standing up rather abruptly, Lily gave a sunny grin. "Oyah, I'm Lily Rosario, by the way! Lovely meeting you!" With a bright and cheerful giggle, Lily held out a hand for Ronnie to shake, as she dusted off her dress. Well this was quite a fun turn of events! Scanning the girl over, Lily also noticed something rather peculiar; "Hmmm... I think I've seen you somewhere before... I don't know where, but you look like I've seen you somewhere..." As Lily spoke, she placed a finger to her chin, her eyes cloudy with thought. Where had she seen her before? For some reason, Takatori came to mind as she thought... Huh...

Ronnie was surprised by the loud noise that came out of the girl as she bumped into her but her grin had yet to falter. As she apologized she felt some satisfaction as she struck out her own hand into Lily's to shake. She smiled as this girl moved and spoke. Waiting for her to finish. Oddly enough she had no temptations to kill this girl, yet. She nodded, knowing what she meant by knowing her somewhere and put her hands on her hips as she thought. She was sure she had seen her as well with some boy who did look a lot like her. But this memory was vague and she was lucky to remember her at all. But she did know where it was from. She chuckled slightly.

"Yeah, I saw you once while working-- not with Amestris of course" she nodded, hoping she picked up on that without her having to say 'lol we kill people for the same guy :D'. She smiled as she crossed her arms. She felt a rather smug expression coming on. she may be militant now but she was still proud of what she did behind closed doors. And finally, somebody could acknowledge that without her getting in large amounts of trouble.

[Lily Rosario]

Thinking hard for a moment or two at Ronnie's statement, Lily FINALLY managed to deduce an answer; the place that she had seen Ronnie before was the Men in White! Which is OBVIOUSLY why eyepatch-boss came to her mind! "Yeah, come to think of it, we do work together. Well that's some coincedence bumping into each other here, then. LITERALLY!~" With a little giggle-fit, Lily spoke onward. "So, are you from around here? Me and my brother moved here a little while back, so I'm still a little lost here. It's a huge city! But I was looking for somewhere to eat..." Smiling prettily, Lily had completely recovered from being knocked down, and now felt the need for a ittle bit of conversation. Because EVERYONE likes to conversate! Er.... Conerse? Yeah, one of them. Butyah, Lily was in the mood for a nice chat, and HOPED Ronnie would help her find breakfast...

[Guest]

"Girl, I own these streets, I can show you the best place to get pretty much anythin'" Ronnie grinned widely with a confident wink. But not in a flirtatious way, of course. She looked around for a moment to reassess where she was as she did kindof forget where it was she was in the area. She quickly remembered where she was and nodded, mapping out where everything was. This was the only place she would never get lost in, honestly. She was hopeless with directions anywhere else.

"What are you in the mood for? Classic breakfast shit?" she asked, tilting her head as she looked back at her, looking curious. It somehow made her look younger than her 25 year old self. She may be 25 but never acted it or really looked it. She was a teenager at heart for sure, 25 was just some number she couldn't identify with. As that was far too old for Ronnie, son! Ronnie is 17 forever. And that was the way she wanted it to stay. She was just immature and awesome like that and ain't no number gonna change shit!

[Lily Rosario]

Lily grinned. "Well that sure is a relief!~ If Philly's your turf, that's all the better, since you can help me be not lost!" With a little twirl, Lily was rather much the epitome of a young woman, with the youth of a child. "Classic breakfast sounds good to me! So where are we headed, em... Don't think I caught your name yet..." As Lily awaited a name and the walk to food, her eyes were still taking in sights around her. Hard to believe that she'd been here for a bit now, and STILL wasn't used to all this urban beauty. Much different from London, much different indeed. Though, it was a nice change. A bit like when she and her brother had switched places on that fateful day, and never switched back... Truly odd, change was, in its many ways...

[Guest]

Ronnie watched her and felt herself get a little swept up in the energy this girl seemed to bleed. It was somewhat laughable as she could tell she was older than she after but just barely. She herself was somewhat like that but her energy was channeled more through violence and sport. But this girls outlet appeared to be a lot more... Girly. She nodded as she pointed out the fact she had yet to get her name and looked up for a moment before beginning to walk and look back at Lily.

"My name is Ronnie, you?" she asked as she began leading them to the best place she knew for breakfast. Where was that? Well this is Ronnie. It was and Ihop. She didn't really go to many things that also didn't sell things like hamburgers and whatnot. She needed things that were full of fatty meaty goodness. Nobody could truly understand her love of all things bad for her. Mcdonalds was her favorite place to eat by far. And she got two Big Macs and a large fry. Every time. If she didn't have her huge amount of energy and was as lazy as her friend Axel she would certainly be obese.

[Lily Rosario]

As Lily was standing near this girl, every passing second, she was more and more convinced that Ronnie was rather cool. I mean, not only was she getting breakfast for the two of them, at somewhere Lily hadn't really been to before, an Ihop, but she also knew where stuff was, and seemed altogether like an awesome person to hang out with! As Ronnie introduced herself, Lily smiled, before doing likewise. "Nice meeting you, Ronnie!~ I'm Lily Rosario." Keeping up her friendly smile, she skipped merrily alongside Ronnie as the pair headed for the Ihop. To be fairly honest, Lily, while she did enjoy a good old fashioned breakfast, happened to ALSO like a cheeseburder, though she wanted breakfast at the time. Perhaps on another day, she would find some clown-based franchise that served burgers, and her and Ronnie could eat there!

[Guest]

Ronnie looked her in the face and looked serious for a second. "Lily... Lily... Lily..." she said to herself and looked thoughtful for a moment before returning to repeating her name. She then smiled as they made it there and she opened the door for her. "Ladies first" she chuckled lightly as she waved her in politely. LITTLE DID SHE KNOW. Anyways, what she had been trying to do was force the name into her hard to reach memory. Repetition usually did that for her. And so far Lily hadn't annoyed her (which it seemed everybody else did) so she was giving her a chance as a friend. Lately she had been doing that and it baffled her. She wasn't really normally all that friendly but she figured joining the Amestrian Military had done SOMETHING for her other than give her something to do when she wasn't doing things for MiW. It somehow made her want to make friends. She was not sure why, though she was still pretty rude to most people. So she figured that was okay. And she in no way shape or form lost her bloodlust. In fact, she had become more dedicated to her job in MiW and was more than willing to do whatever it was they asked of her. And she was surprisingly good at hiding all of that stuff. Like, REALLY good. She may have little to no book-smarts but she was quite clever. And that was a for sure thing.

But honestly what compelled her to go out of her way to be polite to this oddly peppy girl was beyond her. She wasn't even the type of person she usually favored at all. She was girly and kindof loud and overly excited. She herself was loud and overly excited but in a different way. She was actively guy-like. Ronnie wasn't even gender specific. gender fluid was more like it. She began wondering while she thought these things and as soon as she did wonder the thoughts quickly scattered in her brain, rattling around and bringing up pointless topics such as roller coasters and snake bite piercings. She was completely unsure as to why she even thought these things. It was the minor thought derailment disorder. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Concentrate Ronnie, concentrate. She felt her thoughts start to even out again slowly into less topics. 3 at the most. That she could live with.

[Lily Rosario]

Lily watched Ronnie, mildly curious as she repeated Lily's name several times. Of course, based on how Ronnie repeated it, lily guessed it was a memory thing. So she carried on with Ronnie towards the hopping I- erm... the Ihop, I mean. Anyways, they reached it and as Ronnie made the ladies first gesture, Lily found that humorous enough to give a light giggle as she stepped in the door. Not only was Ronnie more of a lady than Lily, Lily wasn't exactly a lady at all; in fact, Lily wasn't even a real girl! Though obviously, Ronnie didn't know that. But to Lily, it was entirely amusing. A little inside joke all to her own.

Anyways, she walked into Ihop and her and Ronnie were seated. After being seated, lily scanned the menu and decided to get the endless pancake platter with a sampler for the appetizer. It all sounded so good! And smiling at Ronnie, Lily felt the need to cheerfully speak. "Oh, and I got the bill, Ronnie~ Since you've been so nice today!~"

[Guest]

Ronnie chuckled lightly at the gesture, it was sweet. Something about this girl made her not want to argue but nonetheless she did. She glanced at the menu and stared at the words as she opened her mouth a moment before she actually began speaking.

"I got this, no worries girl" she said cheerfully as she then felt the wrenching in her stomach that came with the act of reading. She didn't read all the well so it made her really nervous. She looked around for a word she knew well and when she found it she smiles. Bacon cheeseburger. Two words she never had to read out loud. So she was spared for now. But what if reading came up again? Well, she would have to hush Lily before she spread that information. She didn't want that getting around, especially to anybody in the Men in White. She honestly felt like nobody there would let her live it down there. And she didn't want Takatori knowing he hired a complete dumbass. Which she has accepted that she was but she didn't want others to know. She was confident anyways, not at all faltering. She closed her menu and set it to the side.

"Plus, I have plenty of money at the moment, so it's cool. I insist dawg" she winked confidently though not intended sexually of course. Ronnie didn't really think that way.

[Lily Rosario]

Aww, how friendly! Lily was actually going to pay for whatever they got, but Ronnie volunteered to pay it instead. "Well, if you insist. Thank you~" With a smile, Lily returned to glancing at the menu, trying to find a good drink to order with her food. Well then, this was a rather pleasant breakfast. Not just a new restaurant for Lily to force Luke to go to, but a new friend, too. Whether or not she would drag Luke over to meet Ronnie (Lily tends to drag Luke a lot of places, actually. ;D), was another question entirely. But for now, Lily was rather glad that SHE'D met Ronnie. Quite an interesting person, Ronnie was. And nice, something you don't always see in a lot of people in her line of work. But it did make Lily wonder; what would she be having for LUNCH!? Oh, and a more important question; would she and Ronnie ever get to do a job together? Lily really did wonder about that possibility... Would likely be fun...

[Guest]

Ronnie nodded and smiled and looked as the waitress came up to them. She somehow felt a twinge in her stomach again which she just swallowed away as she came up to them. Something about ordering at places such as this was kindof difficult for her. When it was fast food it was fine, you didn't have to face anybody really if you go through the drive through. Hell, even when it WAS face to face you only had to deal with them once. But no, these bitches kept coming to ask if everything is alright and to give you the bill and whatnot. Something about that bothered her. A lot. But this was public and with somebody so her reactions were changed into some macho cool guy. She leaned back in the booth and crossed her arms and waited til she actually got there and asked what they wanted. Ronnie looked up at her somewhat then back down.

"I'll have some tea" she said sounding somewhat thoughtful, but anybody who knew Ronnie knew better. She wasn't really a thoughtful person. She then looked at Lily now and smiled somewhat. "You fully ready, homes?" she asked as she leaned forward again, elbows propped on the table. Generally looking rather comfortable but not really all that much polite. Considering it was considered in bad manners to A) Slouch and B) have your elbows on the table. Did Ronnie care? Not at all. Did she know? Of course not. Her parents did teach her but she was highly forgetful.
