double time [open]

[Tayte Abbot]

Like a flash of light Tayte rushed through the streets. He dodged around people walking lazily on the street. He didn't have time to slow down and let all of the other people pass him by, so he just ran through the streets to go and get to his favourite coffee place. Well, it wasn't just a coffee, but it might as well have been considering all that he bought at it.

Tayte arrived at Midnight Cafe and ran in with the sound of air entering the cafe and the door slamming open. He was in the back of a line in the matter of nanoseconds and bouncing like some crack-head on speed, which he kind of was, but not the drug. His head swivelled around quickly and his eyes darted about. He hated lines, he hated waiting, he really just wanted to get his coffee and get on his way.

The line moved forward and Tayte took another step. He tried to listen to the conversations around his, but everything around him was basically slow motion. He heard the person ordering, but they sounded like a slug talking. Tayte was almost jumping in place. "Come on come on come on come on." He muttered exasperatedly. If somebody heard him talking it would sound faster than normal.

Thomas see's the the tall guy rush into the building like a race car."Busy day i'm guessing.." He says as he walks in the Cafe. A very rude man with a heavy coat bumped into him, before saying "Watch it! your moving too slow kid!" Tom's fedora would fly off his head as he falls to the floor. Some would laugh at him as he stands up. He'd calm himself down as he picks up his hat and hurries to the line, trying to forget the situation."If only i had my sword.." He'd quietly say to himself as he patiently waits in line.

As just standing in the line got more and more boring Tayte turned around, only to see a lady and guy bump into each other. The guy fell onto the ground and Tayte was about to step forward to help him when the lady pushed passed Tayte himself into the line ahead of him. "Hey I was there first you can't just do that and you're being incredibly rude." Tayte said in his way too fast voice. The lady just glared at him. "Stop talking so fast. That's incredibly rude." She growled at him.

Tayte frowned. Stop being so slow you old hag. He though as he turned back towards the guy to help him up, only to see that he was already in line behind him. So the best idea was to obviously begin a hyper sped up conversation. "Hey are you okay I saw you fall and I couldn't help you up because I was talking to that rude lady I'm Tayte and what's your name and why are you in the midnight cafe?" Tayte asked everything in the span of about seven seconds so he might have to slow down his words, but for now he was just going to talk how he normally did. Which was at the speed of light.

Thomas would stare at the guy, trying to comprehend everything he said."My name's Thomas, and thanks for trying to help." He'd say while brushing his arm as if there was still dust there."Figured i would get something to drink after practice"Id look in the front of the line to see the lady who took his spot in line."Are you going to do something about that? Would be nice to teach someone some manners" He'd say angrily as to hint towards the two who were rude to them.

[Tayte Abbot]

As the guy explained that his name was Thomas. He didn't look familiar in any way which meant that Tayte had never seen him before. Even just out of the corner of his eye would cause Tayte to remember him perfectly. Unless the guy knew Tayte in the six months he lost, in which case they could have been best friends and Tayte wouldn't have known. He kept Inspecting the guy as he kept talking.

The guy was wearing a hat, which was knocked off by the man who had bumped into Thomas. He said something about training and Tayte waited for him to finish speaking before he started. "I'm not really into the whole violence thing. Pain has a lasting effect on me that isn't too desirable so you can argue with them, but if it turns into a fight I'm bolting." Tayte explained. He paused for a second. "So what do you train in? Do you have powers or are you some kind of athlete or what?" Tayte looked at Thomas expectantly. He loved learning new things so why not learn about what other people were learning about.

Knowing he was starting to make a friend Thomas continued the conversation."I do study fencing and swordplay.Had to go to the forest to do the training."He'd look at the back of his hands seeing the tattoos but quickly turn them around, hoping he wouldn't see them."I also play chess, not much of an athlete but i do make up for it in smarts."He'd watch the line moving slowly as if time is slowing down."Enough about me."He finally says to change the subject."So what do you do?Have any powers or weapons?"

[Tayte Abbot]

Tayte thought about what the other guy was saying. He was into fencing? That might be interesting to try, but of course everything that hurt was something that Tayte avoided. Every time he got hurt he felt the pain for at least a week, the more it hurt the longer he felt it for. It was kind of a downside, but avoiding getting hit wasn't too hard when you were fast enough. Maybe he would find something about swordplay to watch in order to know just what the moves were.

Chess was brought up for a second. Tayte had played it a while back and since it was mainly an intellectual and strategic game he was fairly good at it. Tayte was thinking about his chess match when Thomas asked him about himself. Tayte took a few hasty steps forward in the line and closer to the till. "Like I said I don't like violence so I don't have any weapons, but I do have powers. If you haven't noticed, I talk pretty fast, that's cause I have super speed. I also has like super memory, and although I can't right now, I know I can fly." Tayte explained in his hyperactive way. He smiled quickly at the other guy.

"Wow, that's impressive" Tomas says while the line moved an inch. Tomas took out a book titled Checkmate and began to read it, continuing where he left off. "So what are you getting from here? I, myself, am getting some tea, figured i might get some." Thomas turned the page, being a fast reader.
