"Millions of lives at stake here, people! Buy a pape, spread the woid! Thank ya, sir," Hawkeye exchanged one of her last couple of papers with an elderly man for a few coins. She began to tuck them into her pocket, but upon seeing a fresh bunch of apples, she headed towards the cart selling them and bought one.
A few lies and bites of apple later, her last paper was gone, leaving Hawkeye with nothing to do than settle down on the curb of the sidewalk and finish eating her apple.

Angel walked along the curb with a stack of papers in her hand. Her balancing act wasn't going as well as she'd hoped. She'd fall off every so often, but jumped back on. She hopped off the curb and eyed the the fresh apples . She looked around around, bitting her bottom lip. She was adverse to stealing, but it hadn't been a good day of selling for her and her stomach growled fiercely. She casually walked to the side of the cart and swiped an apple when the vendor was selling to another customer. She quickly walked away and sat down on a nearby bench.

Hawkeye smirked as the girl took the apple. Noticing the stack of papers she was holding, she figured she must be a newsie as well; probably new--Hawkeye'd never seen her before, but then again, there were quite a few newsies that she didn't know who weren't new.
Pushing herself off the curb, she made her way over to where the girl sat, and leaned on the back of the bench, "Sellin' not goin' too well?" she mused, looking at the newspapers she had been carrying.

Angel whirled around. Her heart skipped a beat, thinking it was the fruit stand vendor. She sighed and smiled when she saw the girl behind her. She didn't know her, but she'd seen her around. Then again, Angel didn't really know anybody. She patted her papers. "I think I sold about two. It sure aint as easy as it looks."

Flare grinned as she sat down next to the two girls. Her stack had shrunk to about 4 papes. Looking over at the other two girls, only one she recognized from the 'Hatten lodging house. "Heya goils, looks like youse 'ad a tough day. Wheah were ya sellin' at?"

"Basically...here and there." Angel looked at both girls. One didn't have any papes and the other only has a small amount. "I guess there's some kind of technique that I don't know about."

"Hey Flare," Hawkeye nodded, then turned back to the other girl, "Ya gotta make it seem like somthin' really important's goin' on," she shrugged, "'S jus' a big actin' job really. A big actin' job that's gotcha up at the crack o' dawn and makin' as little money as possible," she rolled her eyes before adding, "Name's Hawkeye, by the way."

Angel laughed a little. "Don't I know. I'm Angel."

Angel threw her apple up and down, catching it in her hand. "Pretty new. Though, this is my first time bein' in 'Hattan since...a long time." The apple fell in her lap and she picked it up and took a bite.

Angel took another bite from her apple, with a smile. "Psh. Nah."

She raised an eyebrow, "Where ya from then?" she eyed Angel suspiciously. She didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but hanging around with newsies from opposing boroughs didn't strike [hehe =)] her as the smartest idea.

Angel noticed the way Hawkeye was starin' at her, probably thinking the same thing she was. " Tha Bronx."
