Welcome to Gaia! ::

Steve stretched and yawned shaking his head a bit and running his fingers through his hair as he woke from his nap. He looked about the room that was his home now and sighed a bit. "Ain't much, but better than what I had before," Looking around he shook his head, and went to check out the bathroom.

...

A short shower later and feeling much more refreshed, Steve dressed quickly and picked up his guitar, slinging it over his shoulder as he headed out of the room. Keeping a mental noted on it's location so he'd not get lost (a must for city navigation) he moved down the hall using what few signs he could find to navigate and mark landmarks in his head. He located the Cafeteria and lounge easily enough, and then finally found his way outside.

The weather was nice, and it was all he could do to keep from laughing as he looked up into the sky. It was a nice day, the sun was shining, he was surprised to not hear pigey or spearow's singing. But he didn't mind it. Moving down towards the beach that ran along on the enclosure he chuckled and sat, pulling his guitar around so he could open the case and start to play.

Steve saw the girl, and his mind started to click into the suave mindset of flirtation, as it usually did when he encountered a member of the opposite sex. Smirking he leaned forwards, trying to get a good look at her, and he heard her statement, barely, and was lucky he'd not made too, too much noise. Standing up he brushed the sand off his butt and picking up his uncased guitar, started to strum a few notes.

Looking the girl over, he couldn't shake the feeling he had seen her somewhere before, but that was common with him, he was a horrid flirt, and he knew it, so it was possible they might have met before.

Shaking his head he sat down near her, his fingers strumming the guitar, playing something soothing and classic. "Nice weather we're having huh?"

Ouch! Slap to the face via words, that stung. He looked her over and rather liked how she looked on her back, but he was a good boy, really! Nodding his head a bit he chuckled and scooted back a foot, still strumming his guitar. "I meant no offense, just wanted to come over and say hi, be friendly. You work here?" An easy question to start, she seemed indifferent and Steve liked a challenge.

There was something about her, now that he could see her face, that was so familiar, he couldn't put his finger on it yet, but he knew her form somewhere he was sure!

Heeello! She defiantly was only scoring higher in his book after he was able to get a look of her now that she was sitting fully upright. He didn't let his eyes linger to long, instead looking down at his strings for a second before looking up at her face. "Oh, no reason, curiosity mainly," Odd... You'd think a facility like this wouldn't have guests... Shaking his head to clear the thought, and focus more on the girl he looked over her face again.

So familiar.

"Name's Steve, who might you be?"

She seemed to be relaxing around him, this was a good sign in his book. He let his eyes scan her again, checking her out, but being sneaky about it. Then it hit him, it hit him like a mallet between the eyes. Oh Legendaries... He almost had a heart attack.

"Do I know you from somewhere?" He asked suddenly, his fingers stopping on the strings a moment so he could hear her better.

Put a skirt on those legs and he knew her.

Where had he seen her... Where... OH! OH! AHA!

"Saffron City, you went to a girl's school there right?" He asked suddenly, it was a wild guess, there were a lot of schools out that way, and it had been a year or two since then, but he remembered... He remembered.

She'd walked through the park he played a lot at to get some extra cash, she never stopped to listen but she probably could have heard. He strummed a few more chords, ones she would for sure recognize if she'd walked through that park.

"Me! A stalker?! Steve Callahan does not stalk!" Steve huffed, placing his guitar beside him and standing up, crossing his arms looking at her. He shook his head then and let the indignation pass and moved over to her, not caring that his shoes got wet, and offered her a hand up.

"No, I just used to play in the park there, moved around a lot, didn't really have a good education or a steady job at the time, so I was a bit of a drifter, the park was my best gig tho. I seen you around there a lot, with your friends. Never did get up the nerve to talk to you and you never stayed around to listen to me play like some of the other girls, didn't think you were interested in anything but your schooling,"

Bowing his head a bit he chuckled. "Small world huh?"

Steve chuckled and kissed her knuckle, looking into her eyes for a moment, "I never forget a face," Pulling his head back an bowing a bit he slowly let go of her hand when she was vertical and he smiled. "It seems I've been 'hired' to work here... But I've not been told what my job is or what I would be doings... Sooo..." He motioned vaugely back towards the facility.

"Wanna go on a walk or something? Chat?" He asked, bowing a bit again. "I mean it's cool if you'd rather do something different, just think it would be cool to hang with someone from the past is all," It was here for sure.

Slap her in a uniform and it was her. God, he wished she'd stop and listen just once... Just ONCE! He could have charmed her and maybe life would have been different.

Ah well, least he could get to know her now.
