[[Okay! That I will do!]]
"I can see that." Pirelli said, looking at us from the mirror he sat in front of. "We went to Mrs. Lovett's. It's a very nice place, you should go sometime." I said, and received a grunt from Pirelli in response. "Toby, go outside so I can talk to Pirelli, please." I said, and Toby obeyed.
[[You wanna start rping Pirelli now, and I'll take Sweeney?]]

((yuppers!))
I walked over to where Mr. Todd stood, staring out the window. He always had the same look of agony on his face. It was somewhere between complete agony and crazed. I felt bad for him, having heard the story of his late wife. I just wished he would lighten up a little and get a little bit of life back into his features. "Mr. T? I was thinking...we ough' go down to the market today. I wanted to get some extra food with the tips I've been gettin'. Maybe you would like to join me?" I hoped...
--------------
The young boy walked outside to get the show ready. "You were late." I said harshly. "Only by a few minutes. We were hungry." She defended. I let it go. "What did you want to talk about?"
((sorry, i dont know how to play him quite yet. and sweeney should be relatively easy. he's very quiet. just talk about thoughts he has about revenge and his lost wife to make the post longer, ya know?))

[[It's okay! Sweeney should be easy, I just hope I can pull it off!]]
I stood silently, not looking at the girl. There had to be a way to the judge. It had been haunting me for days, the only thing I thought about. That, and my Lucy, and Joanna. He has her, and I will get her back. "Mr. T?" Rose asked. I turned to her. "Fine. Get Mrs. Lovett." I replied, and turned back to the window.
--------------------- I sighed, and sat on my cot. "I wish you wouldn't be so hard on the boy, Pirelli, he does the best he can." I said, hoping it wasn't the wrong thing to say.

I smiled lightly. It was always nice to hear his voice. I didnt understand why yet. I just figured it was because I so rarely ever did. "Of course sir." I wandered down stairs and told Mrs. Lovett. "Oh, that would be lovely. I'm runnin' low on ingredients. Sure would be nice if meat were at a cheaper price these days. Hard times ya know." She rambled as she always did and I smiled, listening politely. "Go on up and make sure he comes down will ya? I'll lock up." She said and went into her parlor to fetch her coat. I went upstairs and to my small room that was next to mr. todd's shop. He let me have it when I came. After pulling on my long dark coat, I went and told Mr. Todd we were ready to go.
----------------------
"The boy deserves it. He should work harder." I said to her, wondering again why she was so attatched to the boy. "Why? Is he complaining?"

I turned and followed Rose out. "The market! Of course...if he's there, I'll invite him for a shave!" I muttered.
----------------- "No!" I said immediately, and went over to where he sat. I kneeled beside his chair. "But I'm complaining about it! He works hard enough! He never gets enough food and you don't exactly pay me well to buy something for him." I said.

I walked beside Mr. Todd as we walked through the streets of London. "It's so nice that you're gettin' out sir. Bein' up in that stuff old room for so long...not good for you." I said and took his arm. "Come on, I'll buy you a real drink. Would you like that?" I tried to get him to loosen up.
-------------------
I looked at her for a long moment. "The way I treat the boy...I'll see about....adjusting..."I said with a lot of struggle. I didnt see how I treated him badly. "Are you, however, asking...to be paid in other ways?" I asked curiously.

"Fine." I replied, glancing at her for a few seconds before looking back to the ground. I couldn't understand what she had to be happy about all the time. She works in the worst shop in town. She's young, however, she'll learn.
--------------- "Thank you, sir. And, of course not. Not entirely, at least." I said, and looked away from him. "I like the way I get paid, I just....I would like a little extra, so Toby and I can eat more, sir."

I smiled widely and pulled his arm, taking him into a little tavern for a quick drink. Mrs. Lovett went on her way to find some more meat for her revolting pies. "Come on Mr. T." I urged at ordered us some higher quality gin. It would take all my tips to pay for it but it would be worth it.
--------------------
I smirked. "I suppose you deserve a little more..."I pulled out my penny holder and hander her a nice shiny penny. "Better?"

I looked around the tavern, at all of the people drinking like there wasn't anything to worry about. "I'm not thirsty." I said, my gaze wandering back to Rose.
--------------- I smiled and took the penny. "Is that all you can offer? I'll take my pay earlier today, if it pleases you." I said, standing. The floor was starting to hurt my knees, adding, I'm sure, to the bruises I already had there.

I sighed. "Mr. Todd, you agreed to coming in. And I am not leaving until you allow me the pleasure of buying you a drink." I argued, rather stubbornly. I hoped I would be able to convince him. To help him live a little more each day.
--------------------
"If you'd like, I'm sure we could figure something out." I said with a smirk.

"Fine. You won't give up, will you?" I said, and found a seat to sit in while I waited. "Drink it fast. He could be out there." I added.
--------------- "I was hoping we could." I said, and sat on his lap, smiling at him.

I smiled victoriously. "Not yet I wont." Then his other comment registered and I was suddenly confused. "Who might?"
------------------
I smiled widely and held her close. "Me too."
((EW! lol))

I stared at Rose, surprized she even had to ask. "The judge." I replied quietly.
-------------------- I kissed Pirelli lightly. "Toby won't be back in for a while." I whispered before kissing him again.
[[Oh, shut up! lol]]

I sighed. "Oh..." I shook my head at the thought. "You really oughta just drop that..." I said quietly, knowing he'd probably tear my head of for even thinking it. Or I would at least be his least favorite person for a while. Thinking the judge was unimportant was just unheard of in that shop...
-----------------
I smiled widely and kissed her back. "Good. I wanted a while with you." I said and layed back.

It took everything inside of me not to kill the girl where she sat for saying that. "Of course you wouldn't understand it!" I shouted. "You're too young to." I said, more calmly, and left the tavern.
------------------- I lied back with Pirelli and smiled. "I'm hoping this won't cover for two days of work, will it?" I asked, praying the answer would be no. I think I enjoyed my pay more than I should have.
