"Okay then Bilo Foods is the place," he said with a slight laugh and commented on his cool statement, "I'm glad you accept the deal. A tour for a lunch." He paused a moment when Cove stopped and faced him, "Is everything okay?"

Rain drummed her fingers on the table top, sighing. Her new client was supposed to be some guy claiming he'd give her millions to draw his picture, in detail.... naked. She didn't do naked pictures, but if there were millions on the line... That would be enough to go back home and more, spend it on her family and create a good memory for a chance. But, then they'd start with the culture crap about she should have been married years ago, obeying her husband's every whim... She wasn't anyone's slave, and they'd better have that damn straight.

She sighed once more and turned her laptop off, deciding not to take the strange man's offer. If it was some kind of scam, she wouldn't know where to go, who to turn to, anything. She'd have to start all over, like when her father left her... She shuddered. She wouldn't go back to those memories. Sure, she'd told Santo she had this perfect family and played it off pretty nicely, as she was in an acting school back in Japan... but even though she did like him, she wouldn't fall to his feet and tell him every single thing about her life.

Sometimes, it's necessary to lie. You never know sometimes, you never know.

"Yeah, everythings alright." Cove smiled as he walked towards the door. Opening the door, he walked out and held it for Santo.

Santo said a," Thank you," to Cove as the door was held open for him. He was always glad to see similar manners in others. As he walked forward a bit he looked at Cove and said, "So do we go right or left." He was smiling. It was a nice day and it felt good to be doing something especially with company.

((Happy thanksgiving to any other Americans here lol I was cooking all day))

Hal sauntered down the stair and listened on each floor to figure out who was where. I knew where Jaize's room was, and he could hear Cove and that Santo guy so wherever the last sound was would be where this Rain lived...

((Happy Thanksgiving!! ^-^ I ish stuffed.))

((lol, me too. xD Gotta get up for Black Friday, my mom and I are going to wake up at 3:30 AM O_O ))

((you is crazy . . hope you guys get some great deals though. I'm gonna sleep in till noon XP ))

[ B-A-N-A-N-A-S! ]

"You're welcome." Cove said as he let go of the door. "To the left, to the left." Then he laughed a little. He started walking in the direction, "This is the eaisest and fun way to Bilo." He slid his hood off of his head, his hands hanging at his side. His keys jiggling with every step as usual.

He gave a side long glance at Cove and asked, "How is it the fun way?" He was curious to find out. So far he liked Cove. He seemed to be easy going and kind. Santo enjoyed being around him and was grateful he was giving the tour. "Oh yeah if we pass anything else I should remember could you point it out for me?" he asked wanted to get a good idea of this place.

[ WTF! My post didn't go through?! ]


"'Cause when you're with me, everything is fun." He grinned, pocketing his hands. "Yeah, sure." Cove counted the blocks in his head. "In two blocks to the right, there'll be a like a little newspaper storeplacething next to a Pizza Hut." He made made turning motions with his hands. "But if you don't turn and keep going straight for another three blocks'll be Bilo's." Again with the hand motions.

Santo couldn't help but let out a laugh. This guy wasn't bad at all. "Maybe you're right about that. So if it isn't fun do I get a free sticker or something?" he said teasingly to Cove. He mentally marked the directions that Cove was giving him so he would be able to remember them later on. "You like to move a lot right? Is it because you dance?" he asked curious.

Cove laugh a little with a smirk. "Yes and a button. But no refunds." And made a tisktisk motion with his finger. "Don't worry about forgeting where anything is." He glanced at Santo, "Hm? Oh, yeah. I going jogging too." Cove made a marching motion with his legs. "You do anything like that?"

He let out a whistle and said, "A button too sounds like a sweet deal." He watched Cove as he made the marching motion and wondered if this one was always in motion. Santo laughed inwardly guessing that he even moved in his sleep. He responded to the question by saying, "I do my own bout of exercises and some running."

"Well, I am full of sweet deals." Cove wagged his eyebrows in a joking matter. He patted his hands on his stomach to a beat, humming to it. "Thats really cool. Dancing and running was involved with my last job. Kinda hard to kick some old habits."

Santo laughed again as Cove joked with him. Well it seemed he wouldn't get a sticker or a button since he was having a good time. "What did you do for your old job?" he asked interested.

"I sang and played guitar in a baaaaaand." Air guitar. Air guitar. Aiiir. Guitaaar. "We got signed. Then stuff just fell apart after that." Cove pocketed his hands again into his hoodie. He rarely took out his eletric or acoustic guitar. Or was asked to play anything. So for now they were in his closet, behind his clothes, collecting dust. "So I ran a lot to stay fit and stuff. The other guys did other exercises. I just liked jogging a lot."

"Sounds like it was fun. Why don't you try and get back into it?" he asked as he watched him. He thought about it and wondered if the reason it fell apart was because of his parents. Santo got an idea and said to him, "Maybe you could play me something when we get back."

[Annnnnnnnnnnddddd. I'm off to bed. Night! Bye! ]

"Actually, I left voluntarily." Cove rubbed the back of his next. "All they ever talked about was money, drinking, and girls. Where I was talking more about the music and making the fans happy." He was in mid shrug, when he heard what Santo said. "Yeah...sure.." Cove smiled with a nod. "Sounds like a good idea." He looked forward, seeing the block for Bilo's was coming up. "Ah! We're almost there."

(( okay, night ))

Santo listened to him and said, "I can understand your reasons for leaving then. When any form of art flies away from the base of creativity it tends to lose the very thing that gives it a soul. The difference between true art and mediocre crap. I'll be very honored to hear you play especially since it sounds like you care more about the art of music than the money of it." He noticed the store coming in to view.

[ Sooooo. Hows ev'rybody doin'?]

(( I'm doing good, how bout you? LOL I never posted, sorry about that. I'll do that now XD ))

[ Awesome. I gotssss the plagueeeee. thenonswingrelatedone. .___. ahahaa Its quite alright. I'm patient. :D]

((edited earlier post so it's up now XP . . .O.o huh?))

[ The evvvvvvil eviiiiiiiiil flu. D': ]

"I like how your brain works." He smirked at Santo for a moment. "Ijusthaven'tplayedinawhile." Cove looked down at the ground, rubbing the back of his head. "And...Hey look! We're here." He pointed to the store. "You said you had to get a few things riiight?" Cove looked over at Santo.
