Stage

[Daniel Cardoni]

Caprice Hall's stage is large, larger than even Irving Hall, the wooden boards smooth from years of use. Dark red curtains hang at the side.

[arianette]

Ariannette layed on the stage, staring into the ramparts. She did this on occasion after shows, helped her calm down and dream...things were going to get worse with the newsies before they got better. It was only a matter of time before they showed up there.

[sparks]

Sparks helped Flanna make her way into the hall, less than pleased to be there. Just like a copper to show up when it was all over and stick his nose in. Flanna shouldn't be walking around Queens, she should be at the lodging house resting, and the others had to be told about what happened. The whole thing was a mess. He and Flanna sat down in a couple of seats and waited for something to happen.

"Listen, Ise real sorry ya had ta see dat back der. At least now ya undehstand why Ise didn't want ya involved."

[flanna]

Flanna's body wasn't screaming at her as much as it had been, but she was wheazing a bit. She shook her head. "It's okay, Sparks. I understand...but I would rather have been there, then found out what happened later. It was worth it." She hesitantly took his hand and squeezed it. "Besides..I gotta make sure you don't kill anyone." She smiled softly.

[sparks]

Sparks wrapped his arm around Flanna's shoulder. She was nearly as stubborn as him and she was giong to be the death of him. He stuck his tounge out at her and rested his head on hers.

"Yea, yea yea," he said laughing, "What am I gonna do wit ya. Watchin' is one t'ing but next time don't t'row yaself inta de centeh o' it."

[flanna]

Flanna put a hand on his head, sighing. "Well, if I hadn't, who knows what you would have done to Spot." She paused. "Though..if Spot had broken anything, I guess he would have been dead anyways."

She was comfortable. At peace. Finally. She chuckled softly. "Besides, I couldn't let you have all the fun...I have to exasperate you somehow..keep it interesting.."

[sparks]

Sparks blushed, "Ise might be good, but sos Spot, Ise just caught him off guard an' dat mean nuttin."

He leaned over and ruffled her hair, "If dis war keeps up, I'm gonna 'ave ta tie ya ta de bunks in the lodgin' house ta keep ya outta trouble."

[flanna]

Flanna smirked. "Well if you do that, I'm tying you down with me! I've gotta keep you out of trouble as well!" She laughed, her side catching, pain slipping down. "Oww.." She smiled weakly. "Jerk." She laughed again, softer this time.

[Daniel Cardoni]

Ace came in the doors, looking rather pale. He hadn't quite caught his breath back and it showed. He caught sight of the two of them, and his mouth opened. But then he closed it again. He wasn't going to be starting up any more fights just because his ego was bruised.

[arianette]

As the three newsies came into her theatre, she looked at them, sighing. Clearly the girl was injured. She was about to go down and check on her when she recognized the other boy.

"DANIEL!!" He was limping in, looking worse for wear. "You get your ass on this stage now!" She stood there with her hands on her hips, the smallish woman looking formidable.

[Daniel Cardoni]

Ace winced as he did as he was told, limping up to her. "Yes ma'am?" He was in trouble, he just knew it.

[arianette]

Aria looked the boy over and pushed on his shoulder, sitting him down. "Did I not tell you stay out of trouble?" She looked at the bruise on his neck. "Now someone was choking you...goodness...you have sh*t luck there, Daniel." She checked to make sure his nose was still in tact. "I'd smack you if I didn't think it would knock you out."

She went to get her kit and brought it back out, looking at Daniel and the others. "And I want an explination. Clearly you were sent here. What happened?"

[flanna]

This woman didn't sound like one to mess with. Flanna struggled to her feet and sat on the stairs of the stage. At least she would get her wounds checked out. She hadn't been there for the entire fight, so it was up to Sparks or, she giggled, Daniel to tell what happened.

[sparks]

Sparks quickly rushde to his feet, scolding Flanna lightly in Russian as he wrapped his arm around her waist to help her stand.

"Jeez woman, der's no shame in askin' fo' help when ya need it."


He then turned to look at the woman on the stage, "Well, Ise came upon Danny heah wit his hand 'round Prince's t'roat, an' Ise wan't about ta let dat 'appen, si Ise gave 'im a taste o' his own medicine. I ain't 'bout ta let any guy knock a goil around when I'm der."

[Daniel Cardoni]

"Oh? But you'll let an unborn child die?" Ace snapped, "Im sorry dat i hit Prince, but i aint gonna stand dere and watch my little sister and her baby get put in danger. I snapped, and there is no excuse for dat, but dont treat me like a guy dat walks around hitting goils for da fun of it!"
