Katana just stood there taking in every word that Jack said and once he finished and started to walk away Katana grabbed his arm pulling him very close and whispered in his ear, "I may not have been in the tournaments but I will kill you if you ever talk about my sister like that again." He pulled his face away from Jacks their cheeks brushing. Katana smirked, "Nice blush." He said about the slight shade of red Jacks cheeks had turned. and with that he got into the lift and left to head home.

 

Jess held back a laugh and slowly got up and walked over to the boy that lay crushing to roses, she kicked his foot and when he groaned and twitched a little Jess looked back at the window and shook her head. Her eyes then fell on the work notice and she rolled her eyes then bent down and hit the boys cheeks softly to wake him up. "Oh come on! It didn't hit you that hard, get up. Your crushing my roses!" she crossed her arms and looked down at the boy as he opened his eyes.

Yawning she went and picked up the work notice as the boy got up and then said, "Tim huh? You're the new gardener?..." she sighed and rolled her eyes and began to walk away, then stopped and turned to the boy. "Well?" The look on times face was one of pure confusion and Jess rolled her eyes. "Do you want me to show you around my garden or not??"

There were a lot of things Jack wanted to say, but as Katana threatened him, the words seemed to fail. He wasn't afraid, or even intimidated; Katana was ignorant. He didn't know what that tournament involved, or what those who were forced to compete had to go through. Jack was confident that if it came down to it, he could beat Katana in a fight, and yet, he was unable to come up with a retort. 

As the sun rose higher in the sky, and the temperature rose slightly, he made his way home, taking all the back streets on his way. 

But he really did need Kit to fix up his suit for the parade. He wondered whether he could bully her into doing it for free. 

 

Tim groaned as he got to his feet, rubbing his sore forehead. He was about to ask what had hit him when he saw the rose bush, and yelped. "Oh no!" he cried, almost forgetting Jess was there, until she said his name. "Oh...Yes. That's what I was trying to tell you," he said, slight irritation in his voice. He was still under the impression that she been the one who had almost knocked him out. 

When she turned, and offered to show him around, he quickly straightened up, grabbed his bag of seeds from the ground, and gave her a small, awkward nod. "Sure. Lead the way." 

 

Gem backed away from his window with a small, almost disappointed sigh. He drew the curtains, squinting at every fold, and making sure each curtain was pulled the exact same distance. Once he was certain they were symmetrical, he laid back down on his bed, determined to get a few more hours sleep.

Kit slowly woke up as the sun came in her window and she yawned standing slowly, and got dressed then walked out of her room and hit Katana and Kyle's door to wake him up like she always did. Katana would be home soon, she walked into the small kitchen and pulled out three eggs and eggs on toast for her, Kyle and Katana and then put a little towel over Katana's to keep it warm.

 

Jess sighed looking at the rose bush and then began to lead the way around the vast garden showing him each plant she was very pleasantly surprised when he seemed to know what she was talking about with a lot of them. Not many people knew what she was talking about when it came to her garden. as she ended the tour she turned to him and said, "Now Please you do not have to come so early next time. I like to work in the garden very early in the morning.." She smiled a little at the shocked look on his face and then turned and walked into the house leaving Tim to do his job. "Oh!" She stopped right before closing to door and said, "I'm Jess by the way. Nice to meet you, Tim."

Kyle woke with a startle when the bang on his door came, surely he hadnt slept the whole night through. He pulled himself up and pulled on his work clothes judging by the position of the sun it was only a couple of hours before his shift started. He made his way to the kitchen and grabbed the plate of food Kit had made them not saying a word. There was an awkward air this morning and he felt alienated even though it was all his fault to begin with. He went and sat down and began eating his breakfast in the same silence he'd shown all morning.

Wednesday got up early, showered and changed. Headed down the stairs and made herself some breakfast. As soon as it hit 7am she headed out to work, the last day before the parade opening ceremony and the whole country shut down business until after the parade was finished.

Kit stood at the sink washing the dishes she had used to cook and trying find something, anything to say. The only word that came out was, " Tomorrow..." She hated parade day.
Lucia slowly walked out of her room and into her bathroom she could hear the shower going next door and she smelt the heavy scent of dirt, Jess had been in the garden, most likely all night. What did she do out there at night? Lucia didn't understand why she loved that garden so much, it was so dirty. Lucia looked out a window and could see someone in the garden, a boy, probably the new gardener. At that moment The window next door opened and steam billowed out.
With a towel wrapped around her Jess looked down into her garden to make sure Tim wasn't hurting her plants. Which was funny seeing as she had been snipping off pieces of them only hours before.
As the sun rose katana finally made it home and walked to their flat dragging his feet. Once he was inside he could feel the heaviness in the air it was almost palpable. He looked at Kit and smiled softly then at Kyle, he knew what Kyle had done just by looking at him. Katana sighed and shook his head then made his way to the small bathroom to wash all the dirt off.

Kyle heard what Kit said knowing what she meant, the parade always made her edgy. He was. about to say something when Katana walked in from work. Which meant he needed to set off soon. He knew Katana was mad at him. He went after him.
"Kat, why didn't you tell me dude?" He whispered harshly as he grabbed his wrist to stop him rushing into the bathroom. Kyle felt so much guilt over what he'd said and didn't know how to fix it.

Katana looked back at Kyle a soft look in his eyes then shrugged, "What? About her lip?" He the tool his dirty hand an pulled down his own lower lip and showed Kyle his brand as well. "We were both branded as kids, I don't remember mine but I think Kit does..." He looked over at Kit and sighed again pulling Kyle into the bathroom. "You told her didn't know? To save her feelings for someone else?" They had talked about this many times, Katana knew it would happen one day but he always hoped Kyle would come to his senses and see how much Kit cared about him as well.
"How could you not see it dude? All these years you did you really not once notice that she liked you too?"
He saw the hurt look on Kyle's face and put a hand on his shoulder saying softly, "This time it's all you man, I can't help you here." With that he shooed Kyle out of the shower and then closed the door and undressed and got in the shower.

Kyle's face dropped when he saw Katanas scars. He couldn't have felt worse. When Kat pulled him into the bathroom he didn't know what to say, he felt awful. He needed to make it up to them. He looked up at Katana with a heavy heart he sighed and nodded. There was nothing he could do Kyle had to do this all by himself. He walked back into the kitchen and wrapped his arms around Kit. "Kit, I am so sorry... I never meant to hurt you" he said and kissed her cheek. Then left her and headed to work otherwise he'd be late for his last day before the parade, he'd only be working for 3 hours but he knew he needed to find a way to make it up to Kit.

Wednesday opened up the cafe and began a busy shift of serving and tilling up. Meandering around her mind wondering what would happen on parade weekend and who would have to fight for perfection. Her mind wasn't on her work entirely.

Miyuki hated the big house when it was empty, it was lonely and creepy. She got herself dressed and headed into the town.

Name- "Möbius"

Age- 31

Social standing- Classy

Personality- If there was a man who was any more attached to society, this was his shadow. This chaotic good individual has one rules for his life: Aim to misbehave. Cheeky, sassy, and rude, he was all that society didn't want to be roaming about. He represented that which was not accepted. And Möbius was well aware of that fact. It made him smug with confidence. No one was responsible for his success except his own ability. Not luck, not God, not someone elsehe seeing his abilities to be far greater than average. Cockiness that had gotten him in many different kinds of trouble. And somehow kept him from getting his head removed from his shoulders.

Appearance- Malcolm_Reynolds1.jpg

Parade clothing- "I ain't changin'."

History- "Look, my history ain't important," he said, taking the mic off his jacket. "All you need to know is that I'm not confined by your silly rules, and I ain't about to start!"

Other-  One 12.7mm Single-action Revolver

He arrived a few days early to the parade. But that was fine. The parade would happen, and he would have no way to avoid that. Provided he didn't get in any trouble before the point. For now, I'm going to lie in wait. Or get caught. Does it matter? But anyway, now he would get breakfast. Keep it real, keep him from getting to distracted. Plus, knowing the locals was half the battle. If he was walking into a conservative death trap, he should know now. As he made his way downtown, walking fast, faces would pass and he was food bound. His brown eyes caught the movement of the open sign moving in the business to his right, a quaint little cafe it seemed. Restaruants needed a customer for just opening, no? And that customer would be a certain, ruggedly handsome scoundrel. Though he preferred the term, Avante-garde, definitely. The trenchcoat-clad man took a comfortable seat at the cafe, sitting down with a easy sigh. "Good morning." He said, a slight southern twinge in his accent.

Kit'a face turned bright red and she watched as Kyle walked out the door. Quickly she went and packed her things she needed during the day and then headed out. She got to the shop a little earlier than normal and it gave her time to get everything set up just the way she liked it, she smiled as she looked around the room, she would be able to get so much done today she just knew it!

Kyle spoke to the owner about everything that had happened the night before and didn't know how to make it up to them. The owner of the shop smiled and said he'd make a special delivery as long as Kyle held the shop open for a bit longer than normal. Which he agreed to. The shop owner sometimes did sweet and flower arrangements so organised a bouquet of 17 pastel purple and pink roses, and a box of the most expensive candies they sold and tied them with ribbon. Kyle filled in the little note card which he wrote 'Kit, I apologize for everything, you're more than perfect and I'm grateful to spend every day with you.. and I never want that to change. Yours Kyle xo" .. the shop owner winked and went to deliver them to the seams shop that Kit worked in.

Wednesday saw the man enter the cafe, they didn't usually do table service but there wasn't much custom this morning most spent it with their families. Wednesday walked over with a bit of paper and a pencil. "Morning sir, what can I get you?" She asked him sweetly.

The so far unnamed man smirked amusedly at the sight of the young lass. "Tea, Earl Grey. Hot. And a side of... crumpets, please. I'd like a nice breakfast today. I think today is gonna be an a-ok day, if you know what I mean. What with that whole parade coming to town." A rich, dulcet chuckle rippled out from his chest as he shook his head, the brown mop of hair tossed about. "Oh-, and a side of bacon. Can't go wrong with that." 
He reachd into his pocket and removed a long strip of a golden metal. "Do you take latinum? Or is there a more local currency you guys go by?"

In the mean time, he could take the time and take a good long look at this pretty little lady with the nice outfit. Once she would take care of his order, he would ask her, "What's a pretty young lass like you doin' in this here place?"

Jack had to sneak into the gym through a window behind the changing rooms to avoid being seen. He was used to it by now, since he had spent a month using the shower there after work, and walking through the front door covered in coal, especially in the middle of town, would not end well. 

He checked first to make sure the men's changing rooms were deserted, and squeezed through, grabbing a towel from someone's locker on his way to the showers. 

 

By the time Tim had finished tending to the garden, the sun was up, and he was covered in dirt. He had been promised a shower at the house as part of his pay, so he wouldn't have to walk home looking like the rats who occasionally climbed out of the mines with the workers. 

But he had already been pelted with petals and apples and a marble...which he still wasn't so sure about the origin of. 

"Well, it can't go any worse," he said to himself, sighing as he caught a glimpse of the pitiful remains of the rose bush. He raised his hand to knock on the door. 

And it opened. A whirl of blond reeled past him, and he jumped aside quickly, turning to stare at the boy who had flown out...surprisingly fast. The boy was holding onto metal crutches, which he seemed so accustomed to using that they increased his speed. "Er...I was told I could use your shower?" he said uncertainly. 

Gem stared at him suspiciously for a moment, then turned silently and continued on his way, leaving Tim standing in confusion. 

He couldn't understand why their parents would hire someone to do the gardening the day they went away to organize for the parade. But it wasn't the first time they had done something like this, so he wasn't exactly surprised. He knew no harm would come to his sisters at the hands of that weedy idiot, so he felt he had no reason to miss out on the one day of the week when he left the house. Today, he decided he would visit a humble little café in the middle of town, which he had passed a couple of times on his outings. every now and then, he ducked out of sight of a passing car, calmed himself with a few deep breaths, and forced himself to continue. Now was a particularly dangerous time to be out, but being trapped in the house did him no good. 

He finally reached the café and hurried inside, making a beeline for the counter.

Jess heard the door downstairs open and close and quickly brushed her long wet hair out of her face and walked downstairs. She was wearing a pair of tan shorts that came down to just above her knees and a blue shit. And crossed her arms and uncrossed them as she watched the boy look around for the bathroom.
"Over here." She said reaching up to begin braiding her hair.
She eyed Tim for a moment as he walked toward her then chuckled a little, "I sure hope you have an extra pair of cloths." The look in his face told her other whys . Jess sighed and led Tim to the downstairs bathroom, " send your cloths down the shoot and they will be washed by the time you get out." She smiled softly at the Tim then turned to leave.

Kit was fitting someone when she heard the doorbell ring and she looked up quickly through her hair seeing someone carrying a huge bouquet of flowers. She smiled up at the woman she was helping figuring they were probably for her.

Harkot walked into the locker room and went to his locker to grab his towel but when he got there it was missing. He stood very still for a moment and then heard the shower turning in. Harkot whipped around his long red hair, which was now in a ponytail hit the lockers behind him. He slowly walked to the showers and then said loudly, "I didn't know it was alright to steal peoples things now too!" He stood at the entrance to the showers, his fists on his hips eyeing the man who had taken the towel.

Tim followed Jess to the bathroom, feeling a little awkward. "I had a bag with my spare clothes in it," he insisted as they walked. "But then I started thinking about how good orchids smell...You know...they're probably my favourite flowers. It's a shame I didn't see any in the garden. Maybe I could ask your parents if I could plant some. They'd really make a-" 

He stopped as they reached the bathroom, snapping back to reality as he remembered why he was there. "Oh...Ok. I'm sorry about this," he stammered, staring at the floor in embarrassment. "You can take it out of my pay if you want," he added as she turned to leave. 

 

Jack froze at the sound of the loud voice, and he hastily dove for the towel, wrapping it around his waist. He turned to glare at Harkot. 

"I didn't know it was alright to spy on people when they're in the shower," he shot back. "And your locker was open. It's fair game as far as I'm concerned. Besides," he smirked as he dried his hands on the towel wrapped around him. "I'm guessing you probably don't want it back now."

Kyle continued serving customers and stacking shelves he was more grateful for what the owner had done and not charged him for ... He could only imagine the look on Kits face when she got the candy and flowers.

Wednesday took the mans order with a nod and a smile "we accept the coins issued by the government" she added in reply to the mans odd question. Then headed over to the counter and began preparing the order. When someone else headed for the counter. "Welcome to the dream cafe, how can I be of assistance. Today?" She asked the boy who stood at the counter.

Jess laughed softly and shook her head, "why would I want to do that." She glanced out at the garden and smiled softly, "from what I see you treated my plants like you would probably treat a woman." She looked at him and saw him blush, "I think we will get along just fine Tim." She smiled and closed the door and went back up the her room.

Kits face turned bright red as the man assured her that the flowers were in fact for her, and the candies too. She took the flowers a huge smile spreading across her face as she read the note.
Her eyes got watery and her cheeks got even redder and she jumped up and down a little in excitement, she couldn't wait for work to end to see Kyle.


Harkot let a thick laugh erupt from his chest, "I'll fight you for it!" He said teasingly. He didn't really want it back but was having to much fun with this kid.
"I just have to give you fair warning though." As he spoke he held up his little finger and continued, " I have killed six men, with this finger..." He grinned at the bewildered look on Jacks face and then finished with, "Twice."

Gem looked at the girl behind the counter, then wordlessly past her at the menu. "That," he said shortly, lifting his right hand off the crutch and pointing deliberately at the hot chocolate, narrowly avoiding poking her in the eye. 

He poured his money onto the counter, then counted out the correct amount. "Put the rest back in the wallet," he instructed bluntly. 

 

Tim's face went a violent shade of red, and he looked out of the window at the garden. Like he would treat a woman? He didn't know what she meant by that. In all honesty, he preferred plants to people. They let him talk without interrupting, and they never seemed to get angry. 

He pushed his clothes down the laundry shoot and got into the shower. He would really have to thank her for this somehow. 

 

"You really care so much about a little rag?" Jack asked, now losing his temper. He was starting to feel cold, but he couldn't change while this guy was in here. 

At the warning, he first began to laugh, remembering his time in the tournament, but then the smile faded from his face, and he frowned. 

"Wait, I know you," he said slowly. "You survived the tournaments...and you think you're some kind of a big shot because you managed it more than once." The last sentence slipped out in his envy, but he made no effort to take it back.

Harkot smiled and pointed at jack smirking, "someone's a little cold." He winked at Jack playfully. He sighed and slowly turned around, put his hands on the back of his head, "Ok kid put your cloths and let's see who wins this battle." He chuckled a little and breathed deeply.

Wednesday nodded and made the boy his hot chocolate, and put the change back in his wallet as he had asked. "Would you like me to bring it over to you sir?" She asked in a sweet tone, trying to be as helpful as she could realising the boy had crutches and probably wouldn't last the parade. She finished up making the other customers order and went and handed it to him. "When you're finished you can settle the bill at the counter, enjoy" she said and flitted back to the counter to finish making the hot chocolate.
