The Bronx Zoo
The Bronx Zoo is one of the most famous zoos in the in world. It opened on November 8, 1899, with 22 exhibits and 843 animals and with the goal to advance the study of zoology, protect wildlife, and educate the public. Its original permanent buildings, by Heins & LaFarge, are a series of Beaux-Arts pavilions grouped around the large circular sea lion pool. It is especially known for its 'Wild Asia' tramway, where spectators can witness Asian animals up front (in a monorail), and Jungleworld, an exhibit on plants and animals from tropical rain forests. The zoo also boasts the Congo Gorilla Forest, which is the largest man-made rainforest in the world at 6.5 acres, and focuses on conservation; your entry fee goes right back out to help save the species within the exhibit.

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: *He takes the pad. And then he shoves a cigarette into his mouth, but doesn't light it. Not yet. He turns it around. Upside down. He squints one eye, and then turns it rightside up.* There's the fuckin' problem. S'weird bend. Not like an arm atall. Goddamned... *He pauses.* Whatsitcalled. The... Bird-elbow. fucked if I know. It's all shit, though. Not a bad drawin' though, kiddo.

William Merin: Thanks. *he seems to watch Jeff with a certain amount of wariness, but a bit more relaxed then he was a month or so ago. He pushes the hem of one tattered sleeve up his arm as he cocks his head, as if seeing something around him*

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: *He bends his elbow, clenching the cigarette between his lips.* More like THIS. Yeah? Can tell cuz my elbows are all goddamned boney. Doesn't make the guns any less impressive. Y'see? I'm musin' here. You okay, kid?

William Merin: Hmmm? Yeah, I'm fine. *he brings his full attention back to Jeff, seeming to consider something* Would you like a portrait?

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: *He grins.* I've got pictures. You're not gonna steal my soul, are yeh? *He lights the cigarette idly, and then shoves the lighter back into his pocket. He leans against the railing.*

William Merin: *he offers a sweet smile* No. Normally I charge, but you're interesting, so I'd like to draw you. If you don't mind, that is.

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: Well, that's the nicest fuckin' thing anyone's ever said t'me. Interestin'. *His tail flicks in amusement, and one hoof actually paws at the ground.*

William Merin: *he takes his sketchpad back and sits down on one of the benches, glancing between the pad and Jeff*

William Merin: d10: Dex+Crafts+WP: 3,7,4,5,10,

William Merin: *the drawing is...a bit different then the one he did of the bird, which was straight realism. This one, the details are rendered just as finely, but there are certain elements that seem almost fairy-tale like. Surrealist. In the background, it's almost like the zoo is melting - the cages literally melt away, allowing the animals to roam free in the park. Jeff stands, not against a rail, but against a tree - still clad in his street clothes and all his piercings, but more feral. His eyes are more boxy, grey, radiating an intensity that would make most people uncomfortable, and there's been liberties taken with how much hair is on his head - he seems a bit shaggy. Just behind the tree, one of the animals in the background is a goat, locking it's horns on a melting rail nearby Jeff's still figure, the tail seeming to swish impatiently*
Will considers the drawing for a minute, fussing with some of the details, before quietly handing it to Jeff.

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: *He smirks faintly at that, looking over the picture.* You should hold onto this, yeah? Just don't... show it t'any of the point-ears.

William Merin: *he shakes his head* It's yours.

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: *He pauses.* I inspire. M'not an artist. Y'should keep it.

William Merin: *he stands up from the bench* Then you should have some of the fruits of your labor. Inspiration's hard. The drawing is just...mechanics.

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: *He smirks faintly.* Besides, I'm a dancer.

William Merin: *as he's already torn it out and handed it to Jeff, he simply closes the sketchbook and puts it in a large, baggy pocket* I should get going - the shelter will be closing soon.

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: *He pauses.* Y'stay in a fuckin' shelter? Chrissake. Could just hang in my place for a bit if y'wanted. Safer there than out in these streets.

William Merin: *he shudders* Better the shelter than the hospital.

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: An' better my place than either one. It's mostly clean. C'ept for the fuckin' goat. Keeps pissin' on my shoes.

William Merin: *he seems to consider it* I think I'd like that. *he offers Jeff a very shy smile*

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: *He salutes the kid.* C'mon, then. I don't lock the door, anyway. An' believe me, I'll keep y'safe.

William Merin: *he goes with Jeff, a bit wide eyed at the gruff man*

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: *He grumbles.* Y'have any idea what nature of shitheads are out here? Y'gotta be careful.

William Merin: *he nods* A nasty man chased me. He had cold eyes.

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: *He pauses. And he actually shudders.* Let's hurry the fuck t'my place, then.

William Merin: Okay. *he speeds up when Jeff does*

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: *Of course, he doesn't go as fast as he COULD, but he does indeed lead the way.*

Jeff Brolin -fae or enchanted PM-: ((Fade.))

William Merin: ((And fade.))
