Finder's Keeper's! (Active)
Character(s): Glitch, Cain, Donna, Rosette, Harry
Content: Glitch mistakes Rosette for a scary homeless woman in an alley.  Fortunately, he's with Cain and Donna.
Setting: J7ish
Time: Evening
Warnings: None foreseen

Glitch was having a good time -- but, then, anything shiny helped Glitch to have a good time.  And Glitch was a real people person too -- and it didn't matter that the blondes all ignored him.  He was having a good time.

And so it surprised him to find a crazy woman in the alley he poked his nose down.  She was clearly terrified, and Glitch's first instinct was to comfort her.  But she was also crazy and very edgy -- and Glitch, not being the brightest or bravest, quickly held up his hands and backed out of the alley...

...And almost into Cain and Donna.  Spinning, Glitch stared at them a moment, then looked relieved.  "There's a scary lady in there," he confessed, somewhere between a man and a child.  It was a simplistic sort of fear, and that made him seem more childish than he actually was.  Also, his face was capable of creating almost cartoonish expressions. 

"I wouldn't go in there.  She yelled at me to leave her alone!  I think she was scared of me.  Me!"  He said this as though he couldn't quite believe it.  Why would anyone want him to leave them alone?  He was certain he was charming company -- and not at all scary.  "I think she might be homeless," he confessed breathlessly.  Why else would she be in an alley?  "But I wouldn't go in there to feed her, no sir."  With an emphatic shake of his head, he turned to resume his course to the cafe -- or wherever it was he was headed.

A second later, he spun around with wide eyes.  "There's a scary lady in there.  I wouldn't go in there.  She yelled at me to leave her alo--hey, where ya goin'?"

"Yes, help." Donna said, keeping her voice as reassuring and calm as possible. When Rosette had turned to look at her, she had seen just how bad she really looked. Someone had roughed her up, and from what she had gathered, she knew who it was at the moment.

"My friend Glitch happened to find you in here, and he came out and said there was someone in here." She wanted to explain how they found Rosette, mostly trying to keep her as calm as possible. "I just want to help you. Are you hurt, can you walk?" She asked the typical questions while trying to figure out Rosette's condition.

She was about to say something else when she heard a male voice come from behind her. Turning to look, she recognized him from his pictures in the journal, it was Harry. She watched as he introduced himself, and came closer, but stayed a bit away.

Turning back to Rosette, Donna waited for an answer, not wanting to overwhelm her.
