The Hanged Man [Guy/open]

[Guy Nottingham]

"My name is Hilde, it's nice...... to meet you!"

Guy smiled in return, she seemed just the type of person he could communicate with considering his boatload of friends he'd recently met since entering school here. They all showed their "affection" by other means generally resulting in him getting beaten and bruised up savagely. Fun and all but for serious he had to get some hardcore bandaid rap for the long run.

"I'm Guy Nottingham....and I'm not a perve......"

Yeah.... that was obviously the way to draw attention away form yourself no doubt she'd be left in the blue about his more popular pastime including bird watching aka code for booby pictures. But that was another story for another time.

For it seemed as they were onto something they should have best avoided. That being of course. The Italian Mafia. Springing from their lair of Italianness they sprung chase, Hilde taking the lead as Guy darted behind.

"RUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUN!!!!!!" His mouth spattered biting at her heels.

He'd had a bad experience with the Italian mafia once, again for another time. Springing into action Guy dropped his weight into his heels as they spun the corner grabbing Hilde by the hand and yanking her back into the corner beside a trash bin.

Stinky yes.....safe yes.

A smile as he heard the group pass.

"Phew that was close..." The heavy weight to his breast as it rose and fell between each breath.

*Squawk*

The sound of a small owl dropping down and placing itself on the runway of Hilde's head he pitched up tent and sat there.

"Midas thats awfully rude.... Sorry Hilde don't mind him...he's a bird.... a dumb one a that."

[Hildegard Merquise]

She didn't have very long to think on it..... Since moments after him introduction began the chase. Italian mobsters, IT HAD TO BE ITALIAN MOBSTERS. Well, it would have been worse, they could have been German. Either way, they were all bad... The pair ran, Vinny, Vido, and Johnnyon their heels, after all they were on the line too.Who knew what their boss would do knowing they let a pair of high school students escape...

IT SO WASN'T HER DAY.

Mobsters...Grocery accidents...

So not fun.

What seemed to make everything worse was the turn...The turn was evil..so very evil.... Guy had pulled her into the alley, hoping to escape the mobsters...She tripped, knocked over a garbage can and ended up laying in it. EW EW EW EW EW EW EW....First to be covered in watermelon guts and now laying on a garbage bag, in a dirty alley, inhaling its toxic smells. The mobsters passed without even thinking, the fog was obviously too thick for them to see the alley. eh? The footsteps faded and they were alone.. Hilde got up slowly, laughing at her clumsiness as she did so.

The only thing that mattered was the fact they were....

PLOP!

Upon standing up the girl was attacked by the dropping of a bird...

ESTRANGED BIRD ATTACK!!!! NUUUUuuuuuuu!!

HIlde was shocked, confused, grossed out, sticky from watermelon juices....and tired. Her heart spent upon landing, partially from the tiredness of running and SSSHOOOOCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK bbiiirddddd... weird bird..bird bird...bird bird...bird.

Hilde was at a loss for words, she couldn't even form a sentence, just stare blankly at the ground where had fallen earlier. There was a bird...and it's droppings on her head... IN HER HAIR!!! OH GROSSSS....

Of course, it had to be demon asparagus' bird. Hilde nodded silently.. Of course it would take a moment for her to one.. Snap out of things and for her breathing to regulate. "It's quite alright.... Not really, but still. Hello Midas.." Hilde smiled wearily, wishing to clean off her head...and yet at the same time not wanting to touch it at all.

Oh birds, such a handful and so messy.
