Settling in?
They'd started moving into the renovated abandoned restaurant/nightclub covered scrap metal. Corey'd even arranged a recycling dumpster next to the regular one. Once the kitchen was finally covered in his explanatory signs -- one explanation of food storage and recycling having the very direct heading 'You Will Not Waste' -- he took an awful lot of sorted bags of packaging out to said recycling dumpster.

Alisa had managed to do something people thought was impossible... she snuck out of the home Ennie and herself owned. Actually, she did this a lot, looking for spare parts. She would take the bus, carrying a large backpack on her tiny frame, and go into parts of town that were being renovated, or had large amounts of items she could rummage through.

Today, she found an abandoned nightclub, with a dumpster full of electronic devices and spare parts. Lucky her! She was halfway in the dumpster, and halfway out of it, sifting through the many treasures before her red on black eyes.

"Taking recycling to a new level," Corey says with friendly approval as he sees the girl rummaging. "Cool."

Alisa nearly screamed, falling out of the dumpster and landing on her rear with a loud thud. She looked far too skinny for her frame, despite being dressed in baggy clothes. Despite being able to take a bus, she was still skittish about people, especially those who approached her. Sitting on the ground, she clutched a broken coffee maker, looking wide eyed at Corey.

"Oh gods, sorry! Didn't mean to startle you."

In addition to apologetic, Corey felt the overwhelming need to fix this girl lunch.

"w-what... what do you... want?" She spoke barely above a whisper, and continued to hug the broken coffee maker close to her fragile looking body. "Ah... ah don' got nuthin' ta give you... an'... an' ah... ah don' wanna... do s-stuff..." She stuttered a little, too.

The phone was silent for a moment. It had been a long time since Alisa had wanted to be around other people besides himself. And she didn't sound like she was being coerced.

"umm.... oui. Sure," he replied after a moment more, the sound of keys going in pockets followed by a thunk that was immediately followed by a hiss of pain and then a slightly more uncomfortable grumble and a loud clatter that meant Enteinne had dropped the phone...

Some more fumbling and then, "Sorry. Whats de nearest cross streets? I get dere as soon possible."

Alisa read off the street names to Ennie, along with the landmarks that he could see from each street. "Okay... ah'll be outside wit' dem waitin' for you... o-okay? You sure... you ain' mad at mah?"

"non...non," he said distractedly as, well, he was putting on his coat and that sleeve wasn't cooperating right so he was a bit distracted. "I jus' worried is all. No note... ya gone... I be dere quick like..." A pause. "'bout twenty minutes if'n I take de alleys and go about eighty... ya promise me ya fine?"

"Ah promise ah be fine... an'... an' don' speed... ah... ah get scared when you do..." She spoke softly. "Ah gonna hang up, now... be safe..." She hung up the phone, and made her way back to Corey.

"Mah broder... he... he on his way... can... can we wait for him... before we eat? Please?"

He nodded, more out of habit than anything else. Corey was in front of him and unless he had eyes in the back of his head (could be a possibility, Alisa has said he was a mutant) he wouldn't actually see it. Enteinne licked his lips at the smell and smirked a little, "mmmm sweet potatoes... probably be what God eats every night, non? An' if he don't... he be très stupide... an idiot."

Enteinne tucked his hands into his coat pockets and hugged it closed,still hunched over in what was clearly a perpetual slouch, not sure what the polite protocol for putting the jacket somewhere might be. "How'd ya afford dis place, homme? It big an' expensive lookin'. You a rich boy? If ya a rich boy, why ya buy dis ol' dump?"

"Definitely. You wouldn't believe how much harder they are to get in New York than here or home in Brazil."

Corey laughs. "My family does all right, but no way could I afford this. Some of the others put up the initial money for the building. There's six of us living here, hence a few renovations."

"Neva would have thought ta use one o' dese ol' places like dis... least ways not permenent like..." He drawled, eyes looking around at the open space that probably used to be the main dance floor or eating area or something. "Mus' be nice ta have a big kitchen... we don' have one... a big one," he corrected. "We have a kitchen. Jus' not big. De real-a-tor called it a 'gallery' kitchen. Not sure why... Got no place ta hang no paintin's."

"I think it's an architectural term for using up as much of restricted space as possible." Corey also thinks the agent may have pronounced said term wrong, but no need to get into details like that. It's not something important that needs to be just right, like sculpture or environmental awareness. Or food.

Which is before them in the sign-plastered kitchen. Corey gets the mitts on to grab the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes. "Could you get the butter, please? It's one of the first things when you open the fridge."

Enteinne's eyes flickered over the signs as he entered and gave a small grunt at the request. He found the fridge no problem... kind of hard to miss and all, and opened to begin looking for the butter. Corey had been correct about where the butter was, and Enteinne wondered if Corey had his kitchen memorized they way Ennie had his. Probably not for the same reasons though.

He returned to Corey with a couple wrapped sticks and put them on a clean part of the counter. "I like 'em mashed," he said, nodding at potatoes, "Wit' mo-lass-us and an a thumbful o' burbon. How you cook dem?"

Alisa was walking with Nick through out the "renovated" Club. It was huge, and could possibly fit more than the six people who were calling this place home. She continued to shake every so often. Nick had given her a stipulation to try and gain five pounds, and she wasn't sure she could do that. She was so used to how she ate... it was the only way she knew to eat.

"You never eat everything on your plate. You always have to save some food, in case there is none the next day." The golden rule the kids in Fagan's group lived by. Just thinking of Fagan made her blood run cold, and her anger rise.

For years... she pretended that he never did what she always suspected. But she knew it was the truth. He had molded her into the weak, mousey woman she was today... and she did not know nay other way out of it. But if she wanted to keep her new job with Nick, she would have to break out of that horrible mold.

As they walked towards the kitchen, Alisa could smell sweet potatoes, and lemons... as well as a roasted chicken. It made her salivate a little. She was rather hungry.

"It... smells wonderful... in here..."

"Yeah, I grew up the same way too. Stuff a couple rolls in your pockets any time you can, cause you never know where the next meal is coming from or what it'll be." he agrees.

"But don't worry about that here. Finish your plate or you'll offend Corey... and its bad form to offend the best cook in the place."

"O-okay..." She nodded her head, as they pushed open the doors to the kitchen and entered. Alisa was smiling, giving a small wave to Corey, as well as her brother. "H-hi guys... we... we are back... an'... an' ah got good news!"

Enteinne frowned at Corey's insistence on finishing a full plate... for both of them. That... Well, he'd have to try.

As his sister walked in, he nodded and waved in a sort-of two fingered salute and chewed on the side of his mouth, "What news, peanut?"

Enteinne's jaw tightened into a line and he pushed what remained of his food into the tupperware. Then he stood up, taking the food with him, and moved to the door, "Thank ya all for de fine meal."

His eyes found his sister and he shot her a pout that was going from annoyed to petulant, "I be waitin' outside."

With a final nod to the others, pouty mcpout-face left the kitchen and made his way outside.

Alisa gave out a sigh. She placed her food in her tupperware contain, and looked at the nice people in the room with her. Lowering her head, she carried her food and started to walk out, but not before speaking.

"I-it... it was nice... meetin' yah all... a-ah'll be back tomorrow... ta work... ah guess... t'ank you so... so much for de food, Corey... ah liked it... a lot... take care, neh? S-see you soon... A-argo..."

Ennie could deal with Alisa's bad mood and being angry at him. At least long enough to get them both home safe and sound. And once they were... well, he'd deal then. At least they wouldn't be fighting in front of total strangers.

Once they were both on the bike and food was stored and helmets were secured, his bike roared to life and he drove them away.

He regarded the others for a moment after the two had gone. "Her brother didst seem... stressed?" he ventured.
