*looks around* Wow. It's silent as a grave in here and just as deadly. Come on fellas! Let's make some noise! Or we could at least start with introductions...I'm Dan, also called Bizar. I've lived in the midwest my whole life, though, I think I might just become a New York boy if Criss-Cross moves back to her home state. *gets a tad crimson* Yeah. That's right. I'm enamored of Criss-Cross. What can I say? The girls a pretty little sweet thing. Assuming you're on her good side. Anyway, anyone around here got a gal that I should know about? Because I should really warn you, I do tend to flirt a tad with the ladies, and, well, I wouldn't want to go falling for your girl or making her fall for me or nuthing so speak up!

It's silent cawse there's only like 2 guys bunked out right now . . . . come on now. You and CC eh? :sly grin creeps up on his face: That's interesting . . . . as fer "my" girl . . . we'll see if she shows up and if she does, then we'll say . . . . whaddya think of the place?
I'd think we could make a little more noise in here. We really need to get some more guys though. Start hawkin' the CSLH! *laughs at his own bad pun then goes a tad crimson* Yeah. She stole my heart the second I got here. I dunno. There's just something about that little girl that gets me. Not to mention that I've gotten in close to her, so she'll actually even be emotional around me. Not just the tough act ya know? So your girl ain't here yet? Think she's gonna come? *laughs* Shouldn't Criss-Cross be asking that question? Since she is the leader and everything. But I love it here. I've moved a lot around the midwest with my friends, but I've finally found myself a place in life, and someone who I know I want to at least be around for the rest of my life.

Yeah, I reckon we probably could rustle up some noise up in here. Start hawkin' the CSLH? :eyebrow raises: Again with the unfamiliar language. Well, at least you ain't as bad as your girl . . . :thinks of how she'd react: Yeah, that girl obviously is putting up a front fer somethin . . . . though even though she treats me like crap, still can't hate her. Yeah, she ain't come, dunno if she will or won't and CC did ask that in her own stubborn way. Why'd ya move aroun' so much? Rest o' ya life? :in a teasin' manner: I hear weddin' bells Kid :laughs:
We're boys. We should "rustle up some noise"! Hawking, as in selling. Making it sound good and getting people to buy it? Like how you shout out things to sell your papes. "Extry! Extry! Read all about it!" That type thing. Ya know? I thought they were just standard words. *shrugs* Course, I've been here and there and stuff. And I've heard a lot of different dialects. "My girl"? Not even! We're nothing of the sort! Yeah, I like her, but it's nothing more than that. I wish it was but it ain't... I'm the only one around here that I know of so far that knows her story. Knows what she's got in her past. Criss-Cross's nice once you get to know her really well. It just takes a calm attitude and a fast learner. *laughs* Well, "my girl" sure does have a way with words... And stubborness. It took a lot of long-night up-til-the-wee-hours-of-the-morning talks to get her to drop that edge with me. But just be patient. She's a nice girl under all of it. Even though her temper's hot as a poker and three times as deadly. Well...Couple of reasons. Mostly just because my friends moved a lot. A lot of them were being chased by coppers, so, since we all ran together, we all ran together. *laughs again* We were quite the gang. Always getting into trouble... *raises eyebrows* I should warn you, Criss-Cross ain't the only one in this here lodging house who's got a temper. And she and I're just friends. Don't think it'll ever become something more than that...

:laughs: I reckon yer right, but since this is a Lodgin' House and gals are 'round here . . . so we don't wanna be too rowdy :As he says this word, he bursts out laughin': Yeah, I heard of dem words . . . . but different places, different meanins. :smirks: Why ain't it nuthin' more than that? Ain't ever ask her? Calm attitude and fast learner . . . . how can you be calm when she's always tryin' ta instigate some fight, hittin ya fer no reason and cussin up a storm? Patience is somethin' ol' J Dark is learnin' . . . . even though I see a great girl under the layers, it just kinda sucks that she puts up an act and makes it hard . . . . she seems like a mighty fine person to befriend. Interestin' way of travelin' . . . seems everyone here hates dem Law men. No she ain't the only one here with a temper . . . cause there's more than just her. An' why don't ya believe it'll ever be more than that?
*laughs* Well, you could be right, other than the fact that no one expects us to be good and quiet. This is a lodging house. And we're boys. Boys are loud. That's just what we do. *laughs* Apparently you haven't been in a lodging house before... I've been in tons, so I know this kind of stuff. To take a leaf out of Criss-Cross's book, don't make me wipe that smirk off your face. Because I could do it in about ten seconds flat. I've been taught to fight by Brooklyn's second premier fighter, who's also Queens's premier fighter. We're nothing more than friends because that's all we want to be. Got it? "Ain't ever ask her" what? What am I supposed to ask her? *shrugs* Maybe you just got problems with doin' stuff like that. For me it was easy. Criss-Cross needed a friend since she'd just come out here, and I'd ditched my gang, so I was in need of a friend too, and, well, I learn fast what to do and what not to do. Plus, I'm used to being around kids who are like she is. *shrugs* I only got slapped twice, and I honestly deserved it. And also, here's a quick tip about Criss-Cross, she never does anything without reason. Cussing up a storm? *laughs* Criss-Cross? *continues laughing* I've never heard a single cussword cross her sweet lips. Cruel names, yes, but she only gives them when people deserves them. You really ain't used to be around newsies are you? Or people who are like us, eh? To quote what me mother used to say "Patience is a virtue, and those who ain't got it are in for a hard-knock life". And there's really not much more to Criss-Cross than the tough side. I mean, yeah, she can be sentimental, but that's who Criss-Cross is though. She's a rough, tough, go-get-'em type. And I'm not surprised she's worse, seeing as where she grew up, and under what conditions. It ain't an act that she's tough. It's the truth. She's a good friend to have, that's for sure, she'll stick up for you, and she's just fun to be around. Interesting? What's interesting about it? I didn't have any real family, so the guys became mine. We all stuck together through it all. And no, we don't. You're the only one who hates them. The rest of us are just wary about them. Criss-Cross's taught me her ways. Meaning she's also taught me her temper. So I won't put up with any nonsense. And it won't because I say it won't. Because I don't want to put Criss-Cross under that. Not to mention she's got a guy back in New York.

No, I ain't ever been in a lodgin' house before . . . how many times do I gotta tell you people? I ain't a newsie, don't know any of this stuff. It ain't like this in Texas. Ya got homes on the range, towns spaced out . . . ranches . . . if you ain't got no one you work on a ranch or farm. Yer a farmhand . . . .a ranchhand, ya live there and work and ain't no questions asked. :eyes him about his fighting skills: You can be taught all you want . . . .ranchhands like myself, we know how to handle ourselves when there's a fight, so I'd watch the tough act round me. I ain't a lookin' fer a fight, but I ain't a pushover . . . and I ain't got a reason to fight ya, cause ya seem like an okay guy. Yeah, it's nice that you know the nice CC, but it ain't happenin fer me. I'll hang in there though . . . the reward of a friendship with her is worth the work. Nice story . . . . but if you're here, what happened to your guys?
That's the first time you've ever said it. And if you aren't a newsie, then what're you doing here? It's the same here. You've got the little inner town area, which is small and close, and then you got ranches and such. I've worked farms and ranches before. I've worked ranches before. Me and the boys didn't always live in lodging houses. We'd live anywhere we could. And I bet you can't handle yourself as well as you claim. You ain't a street kid like the rest of us here. It takes street sense to make you into a good fighter. And trust me, knowing how to ride a bull won't help you there. *laughs* And me being tough, it ain't an act. You gotta learn to watch you're mouth 'round here. Comments like that can get you in trouble. Big trouble. When a person's tough around here, it ain't an act. It's the street that done it to them and they're actually tough. And they don't have to watch themselves around no ranch boy. *laughs* The "nice" Criss-Cross? Hardly. More like the less rough Criss-Cross. I don't think she's ever truly "nice". And you've really got to learn to watch your mouth if you're gonna make that happen. *gets serious and a tad sullen* That's a story I ain't gonna tell nobody, unless you're Criss-Cross, which you're not. And she already knows anyway. You should really learn not to ask people about their pasts... It ain't right...

Great 'nother one of the same type of people . . . :glares: don't even doubt my toughness, you ain't obviously ever been on a ranch . . . especially not as a young guy tryin' to prove yer worth to them older guys . . . you ain't got the first idea of what toughness is . . . . :recalls his past, and quickly snaps out of it: I ain't gonna stick round this room either . . . don't need another one . .. . and I don't wanna fight. :walks out and away, lookin' fer somethin . . someone:
*runs hand through hair, sighing* Well, there he goes again. That guy ain't a newsie, and I'm with Criss-Cross on that he don't belong here. *turns to door as you walk in* Well hey howdy! I'm Bizar, also called Dan. Who're you? And are you ready to make some noise?!
