Wandering [Maxwell]

[Bijou Wilks]

Bijou had a tendency to wander whenever the cirque stopped in a new town. It was a habit of hers to know her surroundings, know how the town felt by their presence. She could hear the sound of her boots whenever they hit the ground, echoing off the empty street. Both Altair and Drake did not approve of her being out so late on her own, but she was clever and could escape their watchful eyes for a moment every now and then.
A streetlight flickered, causing everything in front of the girl to go dark for a moment. She could feel her muscles tense, yet just as soon as she began to worry, it came back on again. Shrugging, she dismissed the thought that something may be wrong and kept on walking.

Maxwell walked down the street he'd been tracking down some leads, and hanging out at the bookstore looking for any new information he might have missed before. But nope, he'd seen all the books about the facts already, he ran his hands through his hair in thought he'd seen this before, there was another murder in the papers in another town, somewhere he'd found it on google, it took a lot of trial and error to get the right newspaper websites and enter the right keywords so the computer didn't think he was crazy though sometimes even he questioned his own sanity.was he really finding leads? or was it all just a big hoax? How long would this continue for until he found some answers that didn't make him sound dumb? Stuff he could show to the cops and get the culprits arrested, increase science, he didnt' know for all he knew Jack the ripper was a vampire, he sighed.

He walked along the street he kept his head down in his own thoughts, then, wham. He smashed, er.. walked right into the girl, it hurt.he nearly fell backwards he kept himself steady though he looked at the girl he went to keep her steady too, if she was even falling.

Smooth, real smooth you can talk to girls so well these days. Just, smooth. Brilliant! Fear me, for i am a klutz!

It was time for Bijou to face the facts, she was cursed. The second the street light resumed it brightness was when she saw a random guy walking right in her path. Cursing her stupidity at not bothering to see if someone was near by, she didn't even have time to move out of the way. As sure as hell fire, she went stumbling back from the sheer force of the other man. Bijou wasn't sure if he was steadying her or trying to steady himself, but she felt his hands on her shoulders, digging into her sweater. Digging her heels into the pavement, she fought the sheer force of gravity. Finally balancing herself she looked into the mans eyes, her grey orbs piercing his green ones. "Are you alright?"

Maxwell looked at the girl, she was, probably maybe a few years older or younger? he wasn't sure he couldn't tell he said, "Uh, yea i'm fine I'm sorry about that just probably look where I'm going next time, sorry to bother you.."geeze geek squad? "My name's Max, maxwell to be exact, ah.. what's your name?" he asked he looked at her the girl's hair, she looked familiar in a ways he might have seen her picture before once or twice he knew he saw pictures of people and usually remembered their faces a lot though he could never put faces to names which made it hard to remember, maybe she was.. who knew he might as well stick around and see though, couldn't hurt right? Right! Right, okay then.

Bijou smiled sheepishly, the guy was a bit of a klutz. But she didn't mind, and introduced herself."I'm Bijou." Finally getting a chance to, she looked at the guy she had ran into. Dark hair, green eyes, a little bit taller than her. Seeing as they were rather close-they nearly tripped each other after all-and took a step back, getting a comfortable distance. The guy looked familiar somehow, as though she had felt his thought process before. Maybe he was at one of the shows? She could never really tell now a days, she passed so many people and heard their inner most thoughts.

"I'm max" Max answered her he smiled slightly he said, "nice to meet you." he then offered her his hand why not? He was feeling brave and he didn't have much else to offer but a friendly handshake, Yes he knew her name! Sh was from that cirque du freak, they always were under investigations health, stuff like that to make sure that the performers were in a safe happy environment! He saw her once or twice he tagged along with their health inspector to make sure they were okay, wow, she… wow, he didn't think he'd take so long to remember her. He smiled slightly.

Bijou shook his hand with an amused smile. He was a Detective, and thinking about the Perverted Health Inspector. The guy looked familiar, probably because he was the one who told the guy to back off. Drake had almost smashed his face in when he made a pass at her, which ended with her grabbing his wrist and telling him to calm down, vampaneze were surprisingly short tempered.
Seeing as he obviously recognized her, she might as well see how much he knew. "I gotta admit, you seem familiar. Its weird, I can't put my finger on how though."

Maxwell smiled smally he then nodded he answered, "yea, same." well not now now that he had his name he knew who she was and knew her story, knew where she went and some of the basics. He had thought the cirque was onto vamps or vamp killers but never got farther they didn't believe him so he didn't get to interview anyone beyond howdy's and whatnot. Though they never would or ever should be friendly with the law so all he got were just polite superficial smiles, stuff like that, plus there weren't many people in there at the time to begin with. "That's kinda neat" he smiled slightly, he's never played with kids on the playground he gathered up his things deciding the best thing to do was flee if all else failed.

Bijou tilted her head slightly, ever since she had lost her memories a year ago and got picked up by the Cirque she had been known for asking questions as a way to fill her head. "So, what brings you to town?"The guy obviously wasn't one for easily revealing things-he was a cop after all-so she figured it wouldn't hurt to ask something so trivial.

[max]

"oh, business." Maxwell answered running his hand behind his hair, he stuffed his things in his bag. "I, ah, I study things, some libraries have things others don't.." horrible, boy genius this is what excuse you come up with? wow. "But ah, yea I travel a lot so I'm in town here." yup.
