Revival News and Announcements

[HollyAnn]

A black viper sped though the streets. She was told by her brother to stay low people were still after them; knowing that she was going to be a target because she is a girl. Damn the fact that she was a girl. Fuck the idiots that killed her family. It had only been about 3 months since she was forced to leave her home and her friends behind. The blond looked to the passenger seat and sighed she missed having bodyguards there, she was not sure if people here knew about her father or not he was a well known. Pulling up to the place she wanted. Hearing a meow she laughed and turned her car off before grabbing her kitten and purse. Smoothly opening the door, she let out a small sigh, she missed the states, but she could never go back there. It depressed her but she tried to stay happy for she knew that getting to sad would bring out the side of her she hated. Shaking her head she smiled as she put Misty on her shoulder. “Come on love, that’s go for that walk” she whispered as she gracefully walked down the path in front of her. “Oh Misty my dear will we fit in here?” she asked as she continued to walk.

Stressed. It was the only thing Laila could think of, could be at this stage in her life. She had not been in the city deemed Toronto for an extensive amount of time, and yet, she was already beginning to loathe the fact she was there. Her adjusting from small town life to big city living was not easy, along with the fact of her having to work for the mafia of all things. Moving oneself through the ranks to ultimately rid herself of the debt she had been sent to expel was taking a toll on Laila's poor soul. But as luck would have it, she maintained her modeling job. Granted, this did not entirely help her situation with the owing of the money, especially with those particular co-workers, but it was well worth it. At any rate, Lai was quite excited to have something to claim as her own. She had been working the entire morning at the beach and now she wished to take a walk or maybe even a simple jog through the park. Simplicity was golden, and it, along with her modeling job and her older brother Tyler, was the only thing keeping her completely sane and grounded while she struggled through school and worked to pay off a debt she had no help in making. Sigh. Hopefully, her day would stay as lighthearted as it has been; hopefully, she would find someone of interest, and they could start a bit of a friendship, or something of the sort. As Laila proceeded to make her way through the park, entirely at her own comfortable pace, she just so happen to pass someone with an adorable black kitten perched on their shoulder. Reversing her steps, Lai approached the pair and then began waving happily at the two. "Hey there! You have an adorable kitty! What's its name?" Laila's Outfit

Hearing a voice scared Liv, who would be addressing her? She turned and looked at the stranger and smiled “Oh her name is Misty” she said as she put her hand in her pocket and played with her knife. Olivia was never too careful around people she didn’t know. Misty meowed and climbed on Olivia’s shoulder looking at the stranger. Olivia sighed moving her hand. She was not much for talking. “Well I promised this little one a walk so I must be going” Misty meowed and jumped down hoping over to Laila she started to rub against her leg and purring. “Misty please don’t do that” she said softly as she looked up at Laila “ I’m so sorry” she said as she moved closer. “Misty come here now” she demanded.

“Oh, her name is Misty.” "Oh, okay! Well, hi Misty!" Laila stated happily while bending down to wave at the feline. She had no idea what the attraction she had for cats was, but she surely did not complain about it. She actually enjoyed it, and if there was any pet she decided to get after everything was said and done, it would definitely be a cat. Even Tyler joked she was the reincarnation of a cat. After all, her speed and balance was amazing. At the sound of a walk, Lai bounced happily and stretched her fingers to the heavens. "Yay! I love walks. We could all go on one together and get to know each other!" Laila made a cute "eep" type of noise when she witnessed the adorable little kitten jumping down with the blonde girl calling after it and tiptoed when it began rubbing itself against her leg. Squatting down, she gently picked the kitten up, brought it to face, and kissed its nose gently. "Hey! Don't you hear your owner calling after you?" she stated while gently thumping the kitten on the head. "Don't be bad, okay? That's mean." Holding Misty firmly in her hands, Laila held it out to its owner. "Here ya go! Don't be angry okay? All babies are curious after all." she stated with a smile. "I'm Laila, by the way. Laila Robinson. And you are?"

Olivia blinked shocked in a way for the sudden invite that the girl holding her cat. Did that girl just invite herself? Olivia was getting so worried and lost. Why was she being so nice to her? Shaking her head she sighed as she reached out for the black beauty and let her climb back on her shoulder, petting the cat on her head before turning to her car and balling her fist. “Why?” she asked softly still not really trusting the stranger. Turning around she smiled “I guess the company would be nice?” she said as she moved closer to the girl “Hello Laila My name is Olivia, Olivia Mars…” she stopped herself no need in saying her last name, she did want to risk the girl knowing the name. Or telling anyone she knew that a Marshall was alive. Liv sighed but smiled. “You want to get to know me?” she asked as she started to walk down the path waiting for the girl to follow. Olivia was careful she didn't know anything about this girl and she would be pissed if it turned out to be someone out to get her. Why else would a total stranger random want to get to know her?

[Rei]

Laila blinked a few times at the shorter female in front of her. Why? Why?? Was there anything terribly wrong with being friends? Okay, so she would admit it being somewhat weird walking up to a person and saying you wanted to randomly attend a walk with them, but dammit! Was something not better than nothing? “You want to get to know me?” Laila folded her left arm under her right one and tapped her chin lightly with her right index finger while shifting her eyes toward the sky. Was there something entirely wrong with getting to know someone on a more comfortable level than mere acquaintances? She surely did not think so, but why did this Olivia stop in the middle of saying her last name? Such a thing truly did not matter to Lai. Most people would rather not say their last names on first encounters, especially with the times today. Look at her for example. Lai never figured she would be in a big city working under a mob boss, but here she was, paying off a debt she had nothing to do with. In any case, Laila quickly skipped toward Olivia and filed beside the blondie. "Yeah ..." she stated softly while placing her arms around her bare belly, "I wanna get to know you! There's nothing wrong with that, is there? I promise I don't bite ... too hard!" she said with a laugh.

[HollyAnn]

Olivia was not sure what to think about this Laila. Was she a spy to go after everyone that looked like her and her brother. The blond was definitely. “Depends on why you want to?” she asked in a cruel but playful tone. She loved to scare others. “To bad I do bite and hard for that matter” she said softly as she looked at Laila. Akiyo would kill her if she said her last name to the mail man let alone someone she just met at the park of all places. “I guess nothing is wrong with it but do you mind my asking what you do for work?” she asked quickly. Laughing at Misty as she jogged in front of the two girls “Misty my love slow down”

[Rei]

“Depends on why you want to?” Laila heard Olivia ask in a cruel but playful tone, "Too bad; I do bite, and hard for that matter.” To this Lai cutely puffed out her cheeks and narrowed her eyes. Granted, the tone in the other female's voice did not scare her entirely, but it did make her a bit uneasy. Obviously, with the way the blonde was acting, she was hiding something of importance, but, of course, it was never good to force things out of people. Or maybe the other always acted this way with new people. In any case, Laila eyed the shorter woman as she linked her fingers together and stretched her arms above her head. It was definitely no surprise when Olivia's next questioned popped up, but everyone's entitled to their secrets. Either that or the lady waa extremely paranoid. Sighing softly, the taller woman folded her arms behind her and stepped cutely. "Well, ... I'm a model ... a gravure model, but I'm not famous or anything!" she stated quickly while waving her hands in front of her with light laugh, "It's not even that important really. That paycheck goes directly to school. Why do you ask?"

[HollyAnn]

Olivia giggled at Laila’s comments, this girl was funny maybe it was safe to tell some stuff. It was ok to have friends outside of her brother and Akiyo right? God she hoped so. “I bite too and it is hard when I do it” she said with a giggle at this time her tone and body emotions changed. “Let’s start over” she said as she sighed and turned towards Laila praying to God that the girl did not know her last name, if she was a model then she didn’t know a lot about Mob families here. “My name is Olivia Marshall it’s nice to meet you” she said as she took Midnight off her shoulders and cradled the kitten in her arms. Thinking to herself did she just make a big mistake and was Akiyo going to kill her if she found out she told her last name.

[Rei]

“Let’s start over.” Laila smiled brightly at hearing this. Starting over could always be a good thing, and pressing the "reset" button fixed most things in life. “My name is Olivia Marshall. It’s nice to meet you.” "Well, it's nice to meet you, Ms. Olivia." Laila stated playfully as she gently scratched the cat's head gently, "but I think it's my turn to ask questions. An eye for an eye, right? What do you do for a living? And why were you so concerned about giving me your last name? I'm not going to do some extensive background check on you. I'm not that intelligent. Promise!" Laila laughed heartily at herself before placing her right hand over her heart and her left pinky in the air. Everything she has said has been the truth, and there was no need for the other female to be so tense around her. In all actuality, it made Lai uncomfortable for the both of them. "Hey, I have an idea! Let's go get something to eat. This way, we'll be in a public place, and we'll be safe if you're still kinda cautious of me."

[HollyAnn]

Olivia watched her carefully she didn’t want to be caught off guard and end up in jail or dead. Nodding to the girl as she said it was nice to meet her. She blinked was this girl for real? Olivia was not used to people being so nice to her after all not even her brother was mean to her a lot. Looking up at the sky she sighed when Laila said it was her turn to ask the questions, Olivia got nervous but nodded and looked at the taller girl. “Ask away” she spoke with a soft tone. Olivia thought about it and smiled “I don’t really have a job yet I’m still in school studying to be a nurse” Now that was true she was starting college in a couple of weeks as soon as her father’s friend to get her college info from her old school so she didn’t have to start all over again. The young girl shook as she heard the question about her name. Olivia sighed she was going to get murdered for this but she trusted the girl for some odd reason. “Promise” she whispered as she listened to the woman. Closing her eyes she thought about before opening her eyes and smiling to Laila. “I am worried about my last name getting out, I don’t know if you know much about the states but my father was a mob boss in Maine he was killed and we think the ones that killed him know I’m not dead and are going to come after me” she said in a whisper so only the woman could hear her. Olivia was kind of hungry “Okay I am hungry but I will have to put Misty here into her cage in my car no pets allowed and all” she said softly as she waited to see what Laila would say about her story with her last name.

[Rei]

"I don’t really have a job yet. I’m still in school studying to be a nurse." Laila pressed her lips together cutely and nodded in understanding and deep respect. Becoming a nurse not only took a lot of guts, the person reaching such a high goal had to be pretty intelligent. Lai would not bother pretending to be so smart; she could barely pass her classes at the community college she was attending as it was. She needed her older brother for absolutely everything is seemed like, but needless to say, it was not very long until the shorter woman told her why she was so protective of her last name, and the Canadian listened tentatively. "I am worried about my last name getting out. I don’t know if you know much about the States, but my father was a mob boss in Maine. He was killed, and we think the ones that killed him know I’m not dead and are going to come after me." The taller woman exhaled very, very slowly through her nostrils, debating exactly how she should respond to such a thing. Thinking back on a few things, she was not entirely sure if she could recall ever hearing such a thing, but considering how the last few months of her life had been pretty much in shambles, she knew it was not completely uncommon for her to forget a few details. Even a small town such as hers received major news broadcasts, but the residence really were not the ones to dwell on such things. The word "we" was duly noted, however. Who, exactly, was we? And exactly how many people knew about this person, these Marshalls? Laila was thinking of a way to form her next question when Olivia's next words interrupted her thoughts. "Okay, I am hungry, but I will have to put Misty here into her cage in my car. No pets allowed and all." Smiling, Lai placed her hands behind her head. "Maybe we should eat outside! Misty can hide in your purse, and this way, you can feed her bits of food. I think that sounds nice enough." She ruffled her hair a bit before continuing. "I'm really sorry for your loss. It must be rather painful living without him, but I was wondering ... who is 'we'? Do you have siblings or something? And if so, are they as pretty as you?" Akumu laughed a bit to lighten the tension. Let's see how far she can get with this.
