Caemgen

Well it would be cruel and unusual punishment to deny you bacon... And I suppose I really must allow you the milk to wash the bacon down with... And... and.. I suppose bacon is best when wrapped around catnip... (at least for you...)

*sigh fine, fine... I suppose you can always take a catnap later if you get tired.

Bell Point Hospital (roof)
As Caemgen sat on the ledge of the roof he kept an eye on the ground around the hospital but couldn't help stealing glances out towards the bridge. Something was going on over there. Something big. He could see flashes of light, hear the occasional rapport of gunshots, but the distance was too far to know for sure just what was what...

Not my business anyway, he thought to himself over and over again as he returned to watching the area immediately around the hospital. She said to keep an eye on this place. She didn't say nothing about the bridge.

It wasn't that he was eager to go out and help at the bridge. Whatever was going on there was big and messy and Caemgen hated messy. Point him at a problem and he'd knock it down for you, no problem. Ask him to sort out the good guys from the bad guys? Well, the world was just too confusing for that nonsense. Without someone around he trusted to sort out that kind of thing it was generally a coin flip on whether he'd ignore the situation altogether or just try to knock every head he could find until the blue shirts came and decided who was naughty or nice.

He kept the coin he decided with in a small little buckled compartment on his belt.

"Just keep an eye on the place, would ya?" She had asked, her big green eyes giving him that pleading look. "Something bad's gunna go down there and I can't get there til dawn."

She had an appointment with The Family that she wouldn't break for nothing. Caemgen never did get the story out of her but she had a major bug up her butt about those Family types.

"So protect the hospital is all?" Caemgen had asked her.

"And the patients. There's someone very special there who needs protecting."

"What's their name?"

"I don't know... You know I just get feelings, not details." she answered, annoyed at having to state the fact yet again.

"So how will I know who to protect? You know I'm no good at that stuff." His was obviously grumpy but then again, wasn't he always?

Fenian sighed and fidgeted with the green bandana with black shamrocks she always wore to cover her hair while at work. "It's simple, Caem. Keep an eye out... Once you see someone trying to harm someone else, stop them. That's all there is to it."

"That's all? Just wait around til I see someone trying to hurt someone else. Stop them. Then I'm done?" Caemgen asked skeptically.

"That's it. Simple, no?"

"But what if I..."

"CAEMGEN! You going to help me out here or not?" She had reached the end of her patience.

"I am! I am! You know I am..."

"Good. Thank you. Now just go to the hospital and keep an eye out... I'll get there as soon as I can but I have business to attend to first."

"Fine... fine..." Caemgen said resigned to having to do this alone... But maybe he'd get lucky. Maybe nothing would happen until she could get there and point out who he should hit...



“Whatcha waitin for, Mister?”

Caemgen's leathery wings fluttered quickly in suprise and his head whipped around so he could see who had snuck up on him.

It was a boy. A kid. A child, really.

Without even waiting for a reply the snot nosed little punk had also climbed up on the ledge and was peering over it to the street below.

"Hmph," Caemgen said, trying to act like the kid hadn't suprised him. "Don't rightly know, kid. Just waiting to see what happens."

The kid seemed to pay him no mind and just kept peering over the ledge.

"Say, kid? You didn't see anyone trying to hurt anyone else inside... Did ya?"

Without turning his attention from the street below the kid shook his head back and forth. "Nuh-uh," he said. "This is a hospital, Mister. People come here to get better after they get hurt."

Caemgen shot a glare at the kid and tried to make out if he'd been trying to makle fun of him or not but the kid was still staring down at the street. Just a kid, Caemgen thought. Probably didn't mean nothing by it... Probably.

"Yeah, you're right. There's probably no reason for me to be here anyway... A wild goose chase." Caemgen fidgeted a bit and took a glance once more over towards the bridge. The lights seemed to have stopped flashin and he couldn't here gunfire anymore either... Looks like the Port was settling down for the night.

"Say kid? You wouldn't happen to wanna go down to the cafeteria and grab me a pudding, would ya?" Caemgen asked but before he could even finish the kid was pointing down at the street and stretching out as far as he could.

"Look! Look! Hey Mister, look!!" the kid was shouting excitedly.

Caemgen grabbed the back of the hospital gown the kid wore just to make sure the little brat didn't go toppling over. That was something Caemgen definitely didn't need to try and explain to Fenian... But even while trying to gently pull the kid back from the edge Caemgen looked down at the street where the kdi was pointing...

Down at street level, right in front of the main hospital doors, energy was flickering and dancing... And within moments it left behind the shapes of two figures. One was obviously sick - He had tubes trailing from him and everything. The other.. Well it was hard to make out due to the lack of light but it looked... Well maybe it was just the light but it looked like a big old lizard walking on two feet!

"It look to you like one of them is hurting the other, kid?" Caemgen asked, unsure if he should jump down there and start knocking heads or not...

"Ummm..." the kid said as he took another look down at the two figure...

While I obviously agree with you I can't help but wonder what you're doing up so late... If you're staying up past your nap time again it'll mean no milk and catnip for you!!

Nope, nope... Not about saving money... More about self control

Which you can tell I have by the fact I jumped on omi's offer
