Business District, Hell's Kitchen ...
Yosannah appears in shadow, in a barely lit allyway between the darkness of two buildings. A silver object held in one hand, and a tarot in the other.
Ithius is welding calmly on something whistling cheerfully well maybe this is his worse nightmare to be alone in the middle of no where welding whistling cheerfully. A huge ramp is under construction for something, who knows what it looks as those a few other workers have been assisting.
Gunshots are heard in the distance as Yosannah peers out into the streets from her location. At the sight of Ithius, she squints in an effort to better observe him. After a long moment she steps out of the shadows, making her way toward him and calling out, "Ithius?"
Ithius is apparently doing a deep weld. One can see many passes were made on the ramp with the welder. He pauses a moment. Perhaps it is at this moment a voice that seems familiar calls his name. Ithius head looks up and pulls a pair of goggles up. He peers into the darkness a moment then says, "yes?", probably considering he's been welding his eyes aren't adjust as yet.
"Ithius, it's Yo." A moment passes before she asks, "What are you doing here?"
Ithius tilts his head pulling the goggles off and putting them aside. He neatly puts the welder back and turnis off parts of it. "Yo.. I could ask the same of you, I'm doing some minor engineering work," he indicates a huge steel ramp at the end of a bridge. "Why in hades would you come to Hell's Kitchen in these days?", he laughs a bit.
Riva appears suddenly with Danyea. Riva tucks her trump away and basks in the sunlight. "Much better." she murmurs, squinting around to get her barings.
Yosannah stands next to Ithius, silver glock hanging at her side, and a trump in the other. They seem to be chatting.
Danyea glances around at her surroundings.
Yosannah shrugs, "The Mariko factor, of course. Because," She pauses at the sight of the others that have appeared, "There really is no other reason for coming to this shit hole."
Danyea looks at Riva, "After you."
Riva moves towards the 'Club. "It's my home you're talking about, Yosannah. By the way, hello both of you." she opens the club door for Danyea.
Ithius ahhhs, "I understand.. well we each have a part to play.. good to see you", he peers over Yosannah's shoulder, "Oh.. it's you.. and she," he says.
Yosannah watches as Riva and Danyea enter the Club. She rolls her eyes in typical fashion.
Ithius grins a bit, and sets the welder into a stool. Another welder is set into a makeshift seat in a moment and a cloth is draped over it, "please.. take a seat I have no idea what they are up to," he laughs. "I just hate seeing everyone suffer for someone elses choices," he says.
Yosannah waves the offer off with a slight gesture of her gun totting hand, "That's quite alright." And then, "What do you mean - hate seeing everyone suffer for someone else's choices?"
Ithius hmms, "This whole shadow is a mess because of someones choices.. though I don't know whose they were", he then says, "I thought I would offer something to a friend at least. Have you any ideas about this mess? I hear bits and pieces but none of it makes sense."
Yosannah nods and tilts her head as she does. She slides the tarot into pocket of her jacket, "I do. But I am curious. Who is this friend you mentioned."
Ithius mmms, "a seat for you?" he says at the latter question.
Yosannah considers the make-shift seat again, "Fair enough. If you'll tell me who you are speaking of."
Ithius smirks, "I don't have friends I thought, I was told that a while ago at least. I have people who I know a little about. I'm trying to help Mariko or Kitsune whichever they are. Maybe it's the fact someone I use to love was from this shadow." Ithius shrugs, "doing something is better than naught."
Yosannah raises a brow, "Helping Mariko? What on Earth for? She is the reason this hole has become what it is?" She seems rather insistant on this point.
Ithius hmms, "yes.. and reversing that will make it less of a hole I hope", he shrugs, "what brings you here curious to see what horror has become of this place... use to have people here.. now it's like a big skeleton made up of dried bones.. parched in the noon day sun."
Yosannah exhales audibly, "Doubtful." She shrugs her shoulders and wipes at her brow with the back of her hand, "In any event - I don't have the kind of morbid curiosity that most seem to. No, I came here to check on some issues as they pertain to Kitsune. Or Mariko. Or whatever the hell she is calling herself."
Ithius raises a brow, "oh.. I hope I'm not detaining you then..", he glances at the weapon, "you do seem duly equiped to shoot most things here. You think there is no hope for Kistune or the shadow?", he asks curious.
Yosannah raises a brow at this, "You are asking the same questions that an old friend used to ask about the very same issue. You remember Cisco, don't you? Damned if he wasn't concerned in much the same way." She chuckles, a single short burst of air, "And that concern was of no avail. I wouldn't waste your time, Ithius."
Ithius hmms, "Seems I have all the time.. what happened to Cisco?" Ithius triesto remember, "I've not seen him for years." Ithius hmms, "Normally I don't get involved .. however I was extremely bored.. besides it means I get to see how all the things I design work in a really bad environment." He grins. "Think Kitsune will ever be normal again," he asks sighing. "Now that I think about it, she was a video thing queen in Seatle.. I suppose it wasn't any better."
Yosannah regards Ithius with mild amusement as he rambles on for a moment. Once he is done she smiles, "Questions, questions." She chuckles again, "I'm not sure what happened to Cisco. And, as for Kitsune," she shrugs. "I don't know. Kitsune was never quite right to begin with. Horrible childhood and such. And if she has 'become' Mariko, for lack of a better term, she is just as doomed. Mariko was a thug and a murderer after all."
Ithius hmms, "wasn't she the head of the Assasin house.. I heard something about Rathorne.. well I suppose she's a nut case then?" Ithius hmmms, "Oh well loose speculation aside, everytime I see this shadow I think.. what a waste of space," he shrugs.
Yosannah hehs, "My sentiments exactly. In any event, I suppose I should be off. Mariko is obviously not listening in, or she would have come out here by now." She smiles, "I'll have to come back another day. Take care of my business with her then."
Ithius glances about for a bit, "indeed.. though she must be around or the horrors would have surrounded this area by now. Sorry you were disappointed Yo", he says with a smile, "sometime we should do tea and talk about senseless things. You know, clothes... mmm... art work. Things like that", he suggests.
Yosannah offers a light smile, green eyes bright, "Sounds good. Catch you later..."
