NYC- Thompson Square Park
Thompson Square Park is a small park in the middle of Mutant Town. The benches might need a fresh coat of paint, the fence might be rusted in places and the pavement is raised and has cracks but it's all part of the mutant haven and fairly relaxing. Trees and grassy areas are in between the many paths, there are a few structures and benches along the path as well as a special area of the park that is marked 'the dog walk'.
Two trees have been planted in the park as a Memorial to Carmencita Florez and Detective Baxter each with a plaque stating the tree is in their memory.
Evening in the park, for once Vinny isn't at thier usual place to meet. But the sound of his Diggeridoo can be heard drifting through the air from the direction of thier usual meditation spot. Any pooled water left from the previous night's battle has been cleared away, seems he might have come in early to clean up.
Even though he hasn't slept at all since the previous night, Jeremy still comes to the park. He's not sure if he has ability to work with Vinny tonight but he can't skip out now, not if he wants control. He's running a bit late but he eventually gets to the park and follows the sound of the diggeridoo to where Vinny is. Jeremy looks tired, he's got bags under his eyes and is a bit on the pale side. "Hey Vinny." He calls out once he spots the Platypus.
Vinny is already painted up in his Medicine man attire, sitting cross-legged on a small blanket as he plays. One of those ugly green candles burns away spreading it's scent through the air. Though tonight is a bit different, pictograms and symbols drawn in chalk cover the concrete around where he sits, crude drawings of various animals, and a long serpent around edge of the square. Vinny's playing doesn't stop as Jeremy calls out to him, he simply motions with one hand to the usual spot where the stuffed doll sits.
Jeremy nods to Vinny and walks over to the stuffed doll and sits in front of it cross legged. He looks at all the drawings nervously before looking at the platypus. He lets out a sigh and starts trying to concentrate like he usually does, figuring that's what Vinny wants him to do. He tries to focus and clear his mind but after about twenty minutes he looks up. "Vinny…can I talk to you about something?"
Vinny stops playing, for the first time Since Jeremy arrived he opens his eyes. With a grunt he slowly stands, even with the body-paint the scorch marks on his fur are evident. "Sorry for tha silent treatment mate, been needing ta do a bit'a soul searching myself after last night." He wobbles a little.. "Gah, bloody legs are asleep. So what ya need ta chat about?"
Jeremy nods to Vinny and pulls his knees up to his chest. "Just, I touched one of them last night, the guy who could make copies of himself and, well, I saw a lot." He says as he takes a few deep breaths. "I can't get it out of my head, and just last night, I hate being it situations like that."
Vinny nods "I can understand that.. had to cross a line I hoped I'd never have to in that battle. Even with all my practicing I wasn't strong enough to stop those men, and now the NMO have a deadly weapon in thier ranks." He takes a breath and lets it out. "So what did you see?"
"Kyle and his friends aren't killing anyone though. The other guys, they're kidnapping mutants and using them for this…stuff they called Mutant Growth Hormone. I saw it." Jeremy says trying to pull his legs even tighter against but they're already up against his chest. "Some of the mutants die or just get killed. The Duplicate guy, his name is Frank." He closes his eyes and starts trying to sift through the memories he got so he can rely what he knows. "Frank…..Frank Blackburn. He takes those pills and is able to duplicate himself. He uses the powers to kidnap mutants along with the rest of them. If they can't use the mutant anymore they'll kill them. I know where he takes them too." He says sounding a bit strung out as he's seeing everything that happened in full technacolour in his head still.
Vinny nods and listens, pain showing in his eyes when Jeremy talks about what happens to the mutant. He frowns and takes a breath before simply asking. "Where are they being Taken?"
"There's a small lab in Brooklyn." Jeremy says as he rubs one of his eyes. "In the Sunset Park district hidden in the Chinatown area there." He says before giving an address. "It's under a bunch of shops deep in the basement. I have to just focus on what I saw so I can get more for you but that's the basics."
Vinny nods and his expression turns grim. "You've given me more than enough Jeremy. I'm afraid I'll have to cut tonight's session short. I gotta call some friends and we gotta save those people that were taken last night." He starts to gather up his things. "Go home and get some rest.. and thank you."
Jeremy nods and stands up so that Vinny can pack up the blanket. "Sure." He says without much enthusiasm in his voice. "I'll see you tomorrow?" He says. "Though rest isn't really possible for me right now, I'll try."
Vinny reachs into a pocket of his vest as he gets dressed and pulls out a smartphone. He nods and smiles "I'll be here, if ya remember anything else right it down, try ta get the memories out of yer system so ya can focus." He gets packed up and presses a button on the phone before stating simply "Miss Frost, it's Vinny. Get everyone ya got that can blast, fry, smash, or nuke and meet me in the Sunset District outside of Chinatown. I knew where they are."
