    Evelyn busies herself with the dishes and laundry.

    It's about an hour before there's a knock at your door.

    Evelyn throws on a robe and peeks through the peephole.

    Evelyn sees a mop of messy red hair. Whomever is at the door is very... short.

    Nobody she knows offhand I presume. She'll wrap the robe up tight around her, all the better to not flash strange children with. Then double check that the 'greeting stick', a large antique candle stick made of wrought iron and wrapped in cloth around the base for a dyi handle in it's place on the nearby drawer. She opens the door and looks at the stranger " yes?"

    There's a peculiar young boy on your doorstep. No mien, so a mortal, in all liklihood. He looks up, "Can I use your phone?"

    (( Perception roll, darling. ))

    You notice his eyes are big, and black as pitch, no whites, no iris.

    Fuck that!

    "Go peep on someone your own age!" Evelyn yells out, slamming the door in his face. Fucking kids these days. Where would she even keep a cellphone in this outfit?

    The boy knocks again, insistent. "I need to use your phone."
     
  11. Evelyn Browne

    Evelyn Browne I burn for you

    Evelyn keeps a careful eye on him through the peephole, a hand ready to grab the 'greeting stick' if she needs it. No way no how is she letting some juvenile darkling wannabe into her house without a good reason. "Go bother someone else kid!" she yells through the door." They live in an apartment complex, he wouldn't even be at her door if he didn't live around here.

    He scowls. "Let. Me. Use. Your. Phone."

    (( Roll Willpower ))

    Evelyn Browne I burn for you

    (( rolled 5 , one success))

    Angry Irish erupts from behind the door. "a fháil ar an ifreann as anseo buachaill!"

    "Let Me Use Your Phone!" The boy yells

    Evelyn shuts her mouth and wraps her fist around the Greeting Stick.

    BAM. BAM. BAM.
     
  17. Evelyn Browne

    Evelyn Browne I burn for you

    She looks at him through the peephole, but does nothing else. If Cage were here she'd suggest a more... direct approach. By herself Evelyn isn't going to risk this creepy peeping-tom fetch-looking weirdo.
     
  18. Zin

    The boy lets out a frustrated sound. "Why won't anyone listen to me?!"
     
  19. Evelyn Browne

    Evelyn Browne I burn for you

    Evelyn stays quiet and watches the kid.
     
  20. Zin

    He lets out another frustrated noise, punching the door.
