kitty was looking for Houdini. since she was the leader after all kitty was hoping that houdini could give her a hand with something. she'd been having some issues selling recently and thought Houdini might be able to lend her a hand or something. maybe there was some new technique going around that she'd missed out on. she hoped so anyway.
she knocked on the door to Houdini's room and waited for her to answer.

((Please don't use symbols in your topics - We like things to be readable..  I modified it for you.)) Things were buzzing around her...They were slashing at her with there long pointed stingers, like swords. She tried to swat them away, but they were as big as buildings and it was proving to be too difficult. One of them came at her again, its giant slimy wing knocking her over. She saw Ole Saint Nick come with his Toy Hammer and start beating them. He was saving her from the wretched monsters! Go Nick, Go! The hammering became louder and louder... Houdini sat bolt upright in her bed, slamming her head into the low bar of the upper bunk. "Damnit!" she screamed, wincing as she put her hand to her head and fell back down onto her bed. The head banging was beginning to turn into a habit of hers...The hammering noise had not been Nick saving her, it had been someone knocking on her door. "Bastard..." she muttered quietly. "Yeah? Whadda ya want?" she hollered hoarsely. She groaned and rubbed her searing head. It felt as though a white hot knife had just sliced across it. She pulled her hand back to reveal the faintest hint of blood on it. Damn...She thought angrily. Thats all she needed, a big bloody welt in the middle of her forehead. |

(Oh, sorry, didn't realize. Thanks)
Kitty heard a loud blunt sound... like someone had hit something against something. "Houdini?" she called into the room. "I didn't wake ya or nothin did I?" She opened the door and saw a little blood on her forehead. "Oh my gosh are youse okay? Do ya needs ta go to da hospital or somethin'?" she said a little scared she may have permanantly damaged Houdini.

((No problem! Its my job to point stuff out like that..so..dont take it personally. )) "Houdini?" "I didn't wake ya or nothin did I?" "Oh my gosh are youse okay? Do ya needs ta go to da hospital or somethin'?"Houdini sat up, grunting. "No..No..I'm good - just a little blood.." Houdini muttered. She hadn't even seen who it was that had saved her from th evil wasp menaces. She had initially thought it was good 'ole Saint Nick, but that turned out to be someone else... "In fact, you saved me from the...Well...Never mind.." she muttered and flopped back down onto her bunk. "Who da hell are you anyways?" she asked, realizing for the first time that she didn't actually know the girl who was talking to her. Sure, she had sen her around - but she never actually talked to her or got to know her. |

"Kitty, my name is kitty or Cat or Miss Kitty but most people just call me kitty." She looked at the blood coming to her forehead. "Are you sure youse is a'ight?" she asked getting closer, seeming to be conserned.
then she got confused, "i saved you from something, like... what?" she asked. she really was lost, a dream didn't even occur to her.

"Kitty, my name is kitty or Cat or Miss Kitty but most people just call me kitty." "Are you sure youse is a'ight?"
"I'm gonna call ya Kit, ok?" Houdini asked absentmindedly. "Yeah - seriously I'm fine. This happens all the time." she replied with a grim smile.
"i saved you from something, like... what?"
Houdini gave a short cough type laugh. "Don' worry about it kiddo." she said smirking and waving it off.
"So what can I do for ya?" she asked suddenly, realizing that she must be there for a reason.

"Oh, right," she said she had almost forgotten why she had come in the first place. "I wanted ta ask youse 'bout sellin'. Ise been havin' some issues lately, an cain't seem ta do no good wit' nothin'. Is there any chance youse could give me a hand? I mean if it ain't too much trouble for ya. I was jus wonderin'." Kitty hoped that houdini would give her a hand because so far her leader had been the only one to be nice to her and she was looking to make friends.

"Issues? What kinda issues?" Houdini asked quizzically. She sat up, as it seemed rather important. "The other newsies givin' you trouble?" she asked, her eyes darkening. She could think of a few who would. Or maybe she was just having trouble with the headlines?
Houdini stood up and walked over to her window. The grime made it easy for her to see her reflexion, and she noted the bloody welt on her forehead. She groaned and pulled a hanky out of her pocket. She dabbed it at her forehead.

"Tink ya could helps one a ya kids loin ta sell betta? Lord knows I'se could use all da help ise can get!" Kitty smiled at houdini sweetly, hoping that her leader would help her. she poked her head over her shoulder so both of their reflections were in the window.

The girl was cute, Houdini would give her that, but she was too polite. Houdini sat back down on her bunk. "Listen kiddo, first thing ya gotta know is how to make yourself heard over everyone else." she stated firmly, rubbing her head. "You gotta getcha own call out there so people know who ya are and come to you." she added.
"Next, ya gotta know how to make a bummin' headline interestin'." she went on, "Change the words around - make simpler words into big catchy words. Get's people's attention." she continued, "But don't lie about the headline, otherwise you're gonna have a mob after ya. Improve the headlines." she finished.
"Now if you're really havin' trouble, come back to me and I'll take a day and sell widcha." she said grinning lazily.
