He'd been on patrol with Benvolio for three hours now and still no sign of Tybalt. They'd been sent to "persuade" him not to deal in their turf. Romeo hadn't wanted to go. Especially since it was rumored that the Capulet Cat thief was sporting a new clockwork revolver pistol now a days. Romeo's own mercury sling was woefully out dated, but his uncle wouldn't issue him a newer weapon.<br>"Why give you something so expensive when your own tools work perfectly well?"<br>The argument was an old one and Romeo wished the man hadn't used it on him. Especially since Romeo agreed with him. He checked his pocket watch for the fifth time in an hour, finally drawing the goggled gaze of his friend.<br>"It's not going to make this go by any more swiftly if you keep at that Romeo."<br>The slightly older man was smirking behind his goggles at Romeo. He liked to play the stern older brother roll when they were on the job together. He knew it bugged the living crap out of his friend.<br>"Oh shove off Ben. We've been here nearly four hours now. Tybalt is unlikely to show his face this round here this late. Let's please head back for the night"<br>Benvolio sighed, a small cloud of steam shot from his mouth from the cold. It was a damp night on top of being so cold. They were both bundled in thick clothes and even leather, but after standing under the tree in the park across from Tybalt's favorite dive, they were both frozen. Romeo's plea hit him rather close to home. He was cold and tired too. He, however was also determined to finish this job the right way.

				(My stupid post never posted!! Gr.. Haha, here it goes round 2!)<br><br>Juliet (http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:xAnN-jmAEJ4h7M:http://www.topnews.in/files/Natalie-Portman.jpg&amp;t=1) looked at the pocket watch in her reticule, sighing softly at the fact that she was late...again. Her father was going to have her head for this. The box she was carrying rattled gently with the things inside, several contraptions and mechanisms she had been working on with a friend of hers. She wanted to make a pocket watch that could be a gun as well, for her safety. She knew it was close to impossible to do it on her own, considering that she was a woman and her only value in life was how she bore children. She needed help, and that was where she was coming from. <br><br>She stepped off the curb, trying to head down the street of where her home was, when her boot heel caught on the edge of the curb and down she went, a cry escaping her lips as the box spilled its contents. She cursed loudly, looking around at the faces who heard at her obscenity. Moving quickly to pick up the pieces of her contraptions and mechanisms, she didn't realize that one had escaped her attention, and a steam powered bike ran over it, crushing it to pieces. She cried out, obviously upset about it, and looked at the man who ran over it, glaring at his back before she scrambled back onto the sidewalk, getting out of the way of anything else wishing to run a poor woman and her contraptions over.

				Romeo's eyes and ears were caught when a girl cried out. She seemed to have fallen. Benvollio had seen her too. His goggles masked his expression for the most part, but a slight twitch of his lips gave Romeo all the permission he needed. Neither of them enjoyed seeing anyone in trouble. Especially a lady. Romeo began to make his way towards her, staying in the shadows as much as he could. He, technically, wasn't supposed to be in this neighborhood. It was Capulet territory after all. They mostly wanted him dead. Some were more benevolent, but not many. Romeo's dark hair was blown into his pale face by the blast of steam from a cycle as it crushed one of the contraptions. This made Romeo's features darken. What kind of guy doesn't even pause to help a damsel? With that, he strode forward, intent on helping the poor girl. The darkness between the streetlights made it hard to see her clearly, but she'd appeared slight and pretty when he'd glimpsed her before.<br>"Excuse me Miss. Is there any way I might be of assistance?"<br>He smiled and reached out his gloved hand, his mercury sling gauntlet peaking out from his sleeve with a glint of bronze.

				Juliet couldn't recover the contraption that had fallen into the street and run over by the cycle. She couldn't recover the months of work on that, but by God she would recover herself and actually look decent enough to go home! She pulled the cover of the box back onto it and managed to make herself over to the curb, obviously shaken and upset. Footsteps on the cobblestones sounded and she looked up, slightly surprised that someone was coming to help her. Usually they just passed by, assuming someone else would help the fallen victim. He was standing in front of the streetlight, his features dark and hard to make out. However, anyone willing to help a fallen woman was wonderful in her eyes. He spoke and she smiled softly, nodding her head. "I'm just so clumsy, I guess. The curb.. well my boot heel caught on the curb and I fell. Gosh I must look like a newborn baby." She took his hand, seeing the bronze glinting in the low light beneath his sleeve as he helped her up. "I'm sorry you had to come out of your way to help me, sir." She looked up at him, and was startled at how familiar he looked, blinking a couple of times before she spoke again. "Good gracious.. you look so familiar to me."

				Romeo chuckled slightly, but shrugged his coat up to shield the majority of his face from the light. The last thing he needed was for someone to recognize him. He smiled and helped her to her feet, taking care to step into a shadow so as to be harder to see clearly. The girl was attractive indeed, but also seemed to be woefully under dressed for the weather.<br>"I have a familiar face. Aren't you cold Miss? It's rather frigid out tonight. May I escort you somewhere a bit warmer and safer?"<br>His gauntlet was still visible, as the barrel was on the back side of his wrist and long enough to use with his coat. It was one of many modifications he'd had to make to the thing to keep it up with the more modern weapons. It wasn't that he was bad at building things. Actually, he was very good at it. It was just the fact that the thing was so out dated that it was almost useless now. Only very precise shots were any good because he still had to build a multiple round chamber for it. He didn't have the parts for it. Then he noticed the contents of her box.<br>"Are you trying to make something Miss? Those look like pieces of a weapon. Maybe I can be of assistance. I have a workshop that you could use if you like."<br>He wasn't sure quite why he was offering this girl who's name he didn't even know permission to use his workshop, but he felt that it was the right thing for him to do.

				Juliet looked up at the man's face, finding it hard to see based on the lighting and the way&nbsp; he wore his coat. No matter, for a man who was willing to help a woman was a man who was good enough for Juliet. She took his hand gently and smiled up at him as he helped her to her feet, brushing off her gown before adjusting her top hat and hair. Unfortunately at that time a gust of wind came and blew her hat askew again, causing her to shiver and growl under her breath at the same time. His words caused her dark eyes to move to his, smiling just slightly at his requests. "Aye, I am a bit chilly, but nothing that a strong woman cannot handle. The wind will not harm me much. If you would like, you may escort me to my home. It's just down this street here.. I would already be there, if a certain gentleman would have watched where I was." She spoke darkly, pursing her lips in contempt before looking down at the gauntlet on him. "That is a very interesting piece of work, sir. Pray tell, and I don't wish to be rude, as you and I hardly know each other, but it seems as though it has but one function." When he inquired about hers, she looked down sheepishly at her box, smiling softly. "Uh, yes. I have a little passion for nick nacks, and wanted to make a weapon that could work in a pocket watch, or perhaps a pen. I haven't any idea what I'm doing, thus I enlisted the help of my friend to help me. That was where I was coming from. Seeing that gauntlet on your arm, it makes me wonder if you are skilled in this area. Perhaps you might give me advice?" Forgetting that she had just met this man, Juliet was so wrapped in her tinker toys that she didn't remember the rules of society.

				Romeo smiled, his teeth glinting slightly in the low light and lifted his sleeve a bit for her to see his mercury sling. It was a strange device. One that wrapped around his entire forearm. There were two metal cylinders on the top side of it that contained the freezing agents used to make the mercury hard enough to be lethal. On the bottom, yet another larger cylinder with the propulsion gadgetry within. It had been powered by steam, but Romeo had managed to devise a way to work clockwork into the design to make it more efficient. Combining steam tech with clockwork was revolutionary, but not well received. His own friends thought he was crazy for trying. His uncle, at one point, had thought him a traitor. He'd managed to quash that belief, but it had left a bad taste in his mouth ever since. He was especially proud of the barrel and trigger system. It had once been little more than a cross bow, but he'd fit it with a trigger and barrel to increase its accuracy and range. He was proud of it despite being frustrated with its lack of a multiple round clip yet. He was working on that too.<br>"Yes. This is a rather antiquated mercury sling. I'm afraid the only reason it's still operational is because I've modified it far beyond its original limits.<br>His eyes never left her face the entire time. She was strikingly beautiful and, for some strange reason, very familiar. He was certain he'd seen her face somewhere before. Her request that he escort her home was too good to pass up. He turned and waved to Benvollio, signaling that he would meet up with him later. This was a good opportunity to get his bearings in Capulet territory and maybe have someone he could contact regularly there.<br>"It would be an honor to escort you home Miss. Would you like me to carry the parts for you?&nbsp; May I ask your name if I may be so bold?"<br>He'd let the sleeve of his coat drop back down to cover the sling and offered the girl his arm to take. He was hoping she would allow him to show her his workshop. Maybe he could help her build her gun as well.
