Singin' in the Rain

[Oracle]

“oh just a couple of days.” she looks around a little as she follows him having to double step a little to keep from bumping into him. “heh well running away from bullets is always a good thing, hmm well…any arcades near by? I think I kinda feel like ruining someone’s high score.”

[The Fifth Doctor]

((Well, yah, because if it's after, if you guys go to Torchwood, i'll be working in there, because I plan on joining Torchwood in that thread))

[Oracle]

(that would be cool)

[Rio Keâts]

Riocard looked around them briefly, although he wasn't sure why. Even if there were a blatant neon sign that said, 'Hey Rio, I'm an Arcade' he wouldn't be able to read it because he was illiterate. "If there are, I don't know about them." Perhaps not the wisest or coolest thing he could have said. He kept bouncing - literally - in the random direction he was going in. There had to something interesting in that city for them to do. If all else failed, he could accidentally bump into someone and accidentally carry off their wallet with him.

"We could go to a zoo." He offered sheepishly. Why was he having such a hard time thinking of something entertaining? Perhaps it was because he was bored, or maybe it was because nobody had ever asked to be entertained. "And we could let the animals out! I want to ride an elephant."

erm. Rio isn't going to be joining Torchwood in this thread. But Oracle can if any Torchwood agents pop up here. Also - this is happening... before the Torchwood Returns thread. That's all I know as far as timelines go. XD[/font]

[Oracle]

Oracle smiles at the thought of letting elephants run lose and wiggles her eyebrows mischievously "ohhhh I am liking that idea about the elephants." she laughs a little and shrugs "plus maybe their be a lot of people there."

[Rio Keâts]

Rio pulled out a map that he had taken from the shelter. He tilted his head at the words, and found a symbol with a bunch of animals. "I think there's a zoo over there." He pointed to his right. 'Zoo' was the same in English and French, but the text under the symbol with the animals didn't say zoo. He put the map in his pocket after memorizing the streets.

"Yes! Ah, you don't think people would get hurt..?" All right, so Riocard wasn't the most pacifistic person in the world. He had killed people before, but that didn't make him a cold-hearted person who wanted to smush little children under elephants. The people he had killed... they had been bad people, hadn't they? He closed his eyes and puffed out his cheeks.

Compromise. "We'll let all the herbivores out first, and then release the rest when nobody is there so they don't get hurt!" He had no real way of telling if Oracle was serious about letting the animals out. Would those types of animals even survive? Sure they would. Right? Right. "They have candy there I bet."[/font]

[Oracle]

“Alright, right on then” she starts in the direction he pointed in and stops a little ways down “oh dear I hope not….” she shakes her head and starts walking back in the directions “you do know I was kidding about letting the animals out right.” she starts walking backwards watching him as she walks “look….we can just people watch or something…and I can make some money.”

[Rio Keâts]

He skipped after her, humming jauntily. "Yeah, I know! Hurting people is not very fun, especially when they didn't deserve it!" He chirped blithely. "And it's not--" He stopped talking as she told him that she had been kidding about setting the animals loose. Riocard stopped jumping and walked in the general direction sullenly, heaving heavy sighs every now and then. "If you insist..." He mumbled.

His eyes watered up, his lower lip quivered, and his sighs turned shaky. "I just wanted to rescue all the poor animals.." He staggered dramatically against the nearest building. He fell to his knees, holding a hand pathetically to the sky. "Go on... without... me.. and the animals.." He collapsed on his back, a hand over his forehead and his tongue draping out of his mouth melodramatically.

All right, so Rio could be a bit of a ham sometimes.[/font]

[Oracle]

Oracle laughed a little no it’s not nice or fun at all to hurt people who don’t deserve it. she twitched slightly thinking of times past and watches Rio for a second then shakes her head laughing a little ”well I mean it would be dangerous...wouldn’t it?” Oracle looks at Rio and tilts her head not really understanding what’s going on and after he collapses on the ground she leans over him some “I don’t understand?”

[Rio Keâts]

He opened his bright green eyes slowly, putting his tongue back in his mouth. "I'm dead," He explained solemnly. "This is what dead people look like." Rio waved vaguely to his body. He raised his eyebrows at her, staring at her mutely as though she were the crazy one.

He tried to maintain a solemn face, but the confused expression on her face made him giggle until his sides hurt. He got up slowly, wobbling on his feet. "All the right things are dangerous." He smiled cheekily, stretching to crack back and arms joints. "You've seen a lot of violence, huh?" He asked, glancing up at the sky as he thought of her twitch - a twitch that perhaps would have been lost on most people.

But Rio had seen violence. More than he had ever wanted, if he had ever even wanted violence. And he knew how painful it was, and how... he was hungry. He bounced around her, speaking French at a mile a minute before lapsing back into English. "I'm hungry! Let's go eat!" He felt his jacket pocket and huffed, remembering that vagabonds didn't carry around wallets full of money.[/size]

[Oracle]

”oh…” She reached back and scratched her head and she moved back as he got up and shrugged “ya… not a fan of it heh.” she shrugs determined to not let it bother her. She watched him as he proceeded to bounce around her like a kid who’s had WAY to much sugar and laughs as her stomach rumbles at the thought of getting something to eat but she didn’t have any money on her it took what she had, had to get there “hmm…ok I’m broke but…” she watched as some people walked down the other side of the street “wait here.” she runs over to the other street and gets in front of them then backpedals acting like she forgot something and bumps into them grabbing two of the peoples wallets and makes it back over to Rio, pulling out some cash from both of the wallets and lays them down on the ground like they had been dropped “we should move.” she looks at him and smiles a little.

[Rio Keâts]

Not a fan of it.

He would have made a comment about how only sick and twisted people were fans of violence. He couldn't bring himself to smush a ladybug, let alone harm a human. Robbing them blind was another story. People could live without money. He raised an eyebrow as she told him that she was broke. He was going to suggest just going back to the homeless shelter (had that been chicken he had smelled cooking?).

And then she stole wallets.

Rio's lips twitched into a smile as he watched the display. To a fellow pickpocket, it was fairly obvious what she was doing, but to a casual eye she would have seemed sincerely like a forgetful tourist. "Ah." He nodded, bouncing lightly on his feet again. "I'll follow my nose! Unless you know somewhere around here?"


ooc| sorry for the lameness that is this post.

[Oracle]

Oracle smiles and shakes her head “ no I don’t know of anywhere guess we’ll get to follow your nose.” she bounces on her feet a little like he was doing.
Hiding the money in her jacket just in case the people she had taken it from realized it was gone before that got outta there

Ooc: it’s not lame

[Rio Keâts]

He turned and saluted her with a firm nod. "Understood, ma'am!" He declared, and raised his nose dramatically in the air. He hopped, following the smell of delicious food. Of course, delicious food was hard to find in the United Kingdom, especially when they seemed to all have a food fetish for fish. He shuddered at the thought of the disgusting little creatures they ate.

Riocard stopped bouncing and glanced around them once they were a fair distance away. He didn't have any idea where they were going, only a general idea of the direction where the food smelled good. He took another tentative step forward. "If I get us hopelessly lost, my nose is not to blame." He continued walking in the direction he smelled the food.

However, the smell was coming from a restaurant with the entrance in the alley. A narrow alley. Not so narrow that they couldn't get through, but narrow enough that his clausterphobia was making his legs wobble. "Right... then.. let us go." He cheered unenthusiastically.[/font]

[Oracle]

Oracle laughed and shook her head after Rio saluted her then followed him watching him some when they got to the alleyway and noticing how he seemed to be uncomfortable at the thought of going down the alley “ if it would make you feel better…I’ll go down the alleyway first or we could keep looking you kinda seemed not to happen about going down that alley.”
