"Well..."

He frowns.

"You think that the rumors might be true? About places luring people like us and kidnapping us?"

He looks around, speaking in a low whisper.

Rebecca also looks around, glancing at the lady at the counter as Eric whispers the juicy gossip. She bites her bottom lip with a non-commital sound, displaying discomfort at the idea.

"Heard it, too," she murmurs. "Should we really be here?"

"You f'real?" He leans away, taken aback by that!

"I haven't heard anything like that..." He looks back to the counter, they're up!

"Uh. Hi."

He'd wave sheepishly to the lady at the counter. This wasn't the time to keep talking about it.

"Hello." Rebecca is cool with playing the shy hermit and offers the lady a polite smile that would make her daddy proud. Are there any nametags?

Nope!

Jamel takes a bowl with a thank you and waits for the others to do the same before finding a table!

Eric takes a bowl as well and follows Jamel!

"Thank you Ma'am."

Once they were at a table he'd lean in and start back with the gossip.

"Yeah, I don't know. But I've heard a lot of kids like us have been vanishing lately."

"Thanks." Rebecca nods and smiles as she takes her bowl, following after the boys and deciding to play with a few ideas and see what responses they get.

"But there are still some of us here, right? The kids that live here. Maybe they've heard, too?

"Or maybe it's all just a rumor." So much frowning.

"I mean, yeah, they have kids living here, so it's probably all BS, right?" He points at Becca, agreeing with her points as he begins to devour his stew.

"Plus, what's the benefit of kidnapping freaks like us anyway? We're here cause no one wants us anywhere else."

Eric doesn't eat and just kind of plays with his food.

"You're not a freak man. None of us are."

Rebecca gives an emphatic nod. She's been playing with her food like the topic has interested her more than the meal, but takes a spoonful of it anyway.

"He's right. We're not freaks. The people who think that are the ones who are missing out."

It tastes pretty good!

"Ha, easy for you to say. What are your powers anyway?"

"Well... I'm not really here for the food. The roof is what interested me more."

He'd put his hands together and form a portal in his palms hidden from view and he'd pull his hands apart to pull out a cheeseburger. The portal vanishing behind his hands.

"This."

Now that's just depressing.

Rebecca makes a face and quickly grabs a glass of water or, if that's not possible, she'll lift the bowl to spit it back out. She's not sure if she trusts the food less for tasting so good or laments over the loss more. NO way of knowing if there's something in the soup or not to make it easier to take them, but she figures that if they're going to pose as homeless kids, they should act like they want to eat. Now she can just pass herself off as odd or sick. Or vegetarian.

"No luck today," she murmurs with a shake of her head and an apologetic glance to Jamal.

"Sorry. Mine's less shiny. But we're both here for the roof. It's gotta be better than the street."

Some people take note of Rebecca and Eric's behavior!

"Wow..." Jamal can't help but lick his lips at the cheeseburger.

"She still has trouble with her power. It hinders her eating..."

He said giving her a sympathetic smile and handing the cheeseburger off to Jamal.

"But yeah, it doesn't really put a roof over my head. Not without doing something shady that I'm not comfortable with. You know?"

He tries to see how many people were looking at them with a sheepish smile.

Rebecca looks around as she feels the eyes on her, but tries not to draw even more attention to herself.

"Yeah, it's a pain most of the time, but gotta try, you know?" She shakes her head. "Can't tell until I try it." She pauses for a moment.

"What about you?"

He takes it happily!

"I feel you. Well, I'm probably gonna crash here for the night. Maybe you two should do the same."

He frowns when they ask him.

"I got skunk sweat."

"It could be worse!"

But it could certainly be a lot better.

"And I might. I'm thinking about it..."

Wow, and she thought hers was bad. At least the decay thing was useful when it had its chance.

"That's a bummer. I feel ya." She nods at Eric's comment and sighs.

"I think it's probably the best place we've got tonight. You think your friends will show up, Jamal?"

"Yeah maybe. But when I get stressed out I end up ruining a lot of shit." He sighs. It's why foster homes never worked out.

"I hope they do soon. According to the flier they close at 8 for curfew."

"I'm sure they'll be here before long then." Rebecca looks for a clock to check the time. "Don't want to miss the meal while they can, right?" She tries not to think about that nagging suspicion in the back of her brain.

"Yeah, I don't know what they'd bail on it for." He also looks at the clock, 7:40.

"Thanks, man!" Fist bump for Eric!

He'd fist bump back.

"You seem like a good guy dude. You want my stew too?"

Maybe he really needed the extra meal?
