5th December 2008
Katie was a family girl. She lived for them, her family were close to her heart always, especially her twin brother Joshua. However, Katie was feeling she needed to get herself out into the big wide world and try to find herself a job. So today was one of the first days she had been out and about without her twin pinned to her hip.
Katie wasn't stupid, she knew they couldn't be together ALL the time, but she would like to give it a good enough try. She and Joshua had been talking about getting their own apartment together, and that's what spurred Katie into finding a job. However, over the past couple of weeks she had yet to find something which would help her and Joshua find that special place.
As Katie was turned down for yet another job, she began to walk around center of Brooklyn taking in the sights. Eventually she came across a park and decided to have a look around it. She soon found some benches, like a little picnic area really and as she was in need of some rest she took herself off to sit down for a short time.
While sitting, she let her mind and thoughts wander and for some reason she began to think how awful it would be if Josh was taken from her. She knew it was ridiculous to think like that, but with all the villains around, it was so easy to get yourself caught in the middle of it all. She wouldn't be able to live without him if anything happened, that she was sure of. Annoyed with herself for thinking such things, as she shook her head and wiped her eyes she began to take her leave of the park. However as she wasn't particularly watching where she was going she walked right into someone and ended up on a heap on the ground.
Katie felt terrible, putting her hand up to her head and running it through her hair and feeling terribly embarrassed, she didn't even dare to look up at the person she'd managed to bump into. Instead looking down, she muttered "Sorry, I'm really sorry"

Elliot walked along the streets of Brooklyn, minding his own business. He didn't live in Brooklyn but his grandparents did and he was visiting them. They were pretty old and they were ready to croak at minute, so Elliot thought that it would be nice to see them, and for them to see him. It had been a long time since he had seen them: almost ten years. It was nice to see them again. It wasn’t super emotional and it didn't bring tears to his eyes or anything. It was just nice. He wanted it to be a surprise too, but that didn't happen. Both his grandparents were evolved humans and his grandmother was blessed with the gift of precognition. They had known for weeks that he was coming.
While walking threw the streets and reminiscing on his visit he spotted a park. He had passed it a few times on his trips here when he was younger; but he never actually went in it. He decided that while he was here he should go check it out before he went home. He walked across the street and entered the park.
Elliot looked around the park slowly, while still walking deeper in. It didn't look all that special. Just like every other park he’s been in. But in every other park there weren’t random people bumping into him. He made a little noise and took a step or two back. He looked down at the person that had bumped into him. It was a girl ad she was apologizing. He rolled his eyes; she wouldn’t even look at him. Well, he was in a good mood today and so he decided to not make things worse than they already are. “Well, you should be,” he said. “You just bumped into me. If you weren’t sorry I might think that it wasn’t an accident and that you were just a jerk.” He held out his hand suddenly and sighed, “Let me help you up.” he offered.

Katie wanted the ground to swallow her up right there and then. Why wasn't it swallowing her up. If it didn't swallow her up she'd have to look at him, and then she'd have to show him how embarrassed she was, as she continued to feel the redness spreading from her cheeks to her neck. As she heard the person speak she realised it was a guy. Even worse she thought as the redness continued to grow deeper.
Well at least she had apologised to the person for bumping into them. Well of course she would have said sorry, she wasn't an ignorant person. In fact she hated ignorant people, so if she hadn't apologised then that meant she hated herself. Okay Katie, stop rambling and just speak to the guy.
"Well, I'm not a jerk, in fact I'm a very nice person, I was brought up with good manners" Katie said, a little indignant, but also kindly, as she finally looked up at him and smiled sheepishly. She held out her hand when he offered to help her up. That was when she noticed how handsome he looked.
"Thank you for helping me up, very kind of you" Katie said softly and smiled at him some more.

Elliot nodded his head as she said that she was brought up with good manners. “Yes, I’m sure that mommy and daddy taught you very well on the dos and don’ts of being a lady.” he said to her. “Not like good manners are useful anyhow. The most they can be used for is having people like you, and getting a job I suppose. Both of which being technically unnecessary.” That was Elliot’s position on having good manners. He didn't care if someone had them or not, they were not important to him. But for some reason the rest of the human population made such a big deal if someone didn't say, “excuse me” after they burped.
When she finally stood up and Elliot saw her Elliot smiled a little. She was pretty good looking. His smile faded when she said that helping her up was kind of him. “It was, wasn’t it?” He sighed, “I feel dirty…” He didn't really feel dirty, but he felt weird. He wasn’t an act of kindness kind of person. He decided to make up for it. “So, I’m just dying to know. What made you zone out so much that you missed the fact that you were going to invade someone’s personal space?”

Katie just raised her eyebrow at him when he seemed to go on a bit of a rant about manners and how she was brought up and how manners were rather unnecessary. She wasn't really sure what to say, so she wondered if it would be best not to say anything at all. But found she couldn't stop herself.
"I guess not everybody feels like you where manners are concerned then" she couldn't help it. Katie wasn't too impressed with rude people. Here she thought she might have made a friend out of this unfortunate incident and now she wasn't so sure.
When he said he felt weird for being kind, she began to laugh a little, she couldn't believe how he could go from being helpful one minute to not so nice the next. "Would it help you if I fell back onto the ground and picked myself up?" she asked him with a raised eyebrow, and still laughing slightly. Of course she wasn't going to do that, she just wondered what he would think of her suggestion.
"Oh, I was stupidly thinking what life might be like if something happened to my twin brother Josh and I got upset, and too busy wiping my eyes and trying to get back home, I wasn't watching where I was going" Katie tried to explain and realised it was probably one of the lamest stories ever, yet it was the truth.

Elliot raised his eyebrows when she…stood up to him? He wasn’t sure if he could call it that. He wasn’t doing much to her personally and so there wasn’t much to stand up to. But that was the best word he could think of. He smiled a little. Not many people did that. They usually told him to go away, screw with someone else, leave them a lone, get a life, fuck off, some have even taken a swing at him because of his personality and his tendencies to be less kind than others. But not many actually did what she just did. He kind of liked that. “I guess not,” he said.
When she offered to fall back down and pick herself up he had to chuckle a little. “Sorry, but I think you falling down on purpose would do nothing but make you look a little ditzy. Thanks for the offer though, I’ve always wanted someone to fall for me.” He then waited for her answer to his question. When she told him he just looked at her, saying nothing. Wow, really? That’s dumb. Oh well, apparently that’s all she’s got. He did nothing for a little while and then he spoke, with a joking tone lingering in his voice. “So, Miss. Manners, do you plan on introducing yourself or am I going to have to refer to you as “the emotional girl that bumped into me”, when I’m talking about you in the bar with the guys.”

Had she just got one up on a rude person? She wasn't sure, but it certainly seemed like she had stopped him sort of dead with her come back, she liked that. When he said 'guess not' she just smiled at him. Not a warm one, or a weak one, just an average smile, and obviously dropping the subject.
"Well, what if I'm already a little ditzy anyway?" Katie asked and then grinned a little, maybe he wasn't so bad after all, even if he was a little on the rude side, he was also a little mysterious and Katie liked mysterious. If nothing else, maybe a friendship could ensue from their chance meeting. "I mean I could happily oblige to fall for you, but really, yes it would be rather stupid of me I think" she added, and then began to laugh, as she followed that through with a slight wink.
"Miss Manners" she began, smiling and cocking her head to the side, "Nobody has ever called me that before, I think I like it" then she began to laugh, "I'm Katie Moore, pleased to meet you?" she said questioning, so that he would possibly introduce himself also, she offered her hand by way of introduction. Then double backed as she realised what he had said. "So you plan to talk about me to the guys in the pub? And I'm sure it will go something along the lines of , I bumped into this ditzy blonde who isn't a blonde, whose seriously caught up over her twin brother, think she might be a bit of a freak?" Katie said and laughed. She knew people spoke about the closeness of herself and Josh a lot, but Katie couldn't help feeling the way she did about her brother.

Elliot looked at Katie’s extended hand. He didn't take it, nor did he put out his one hand for her to take. He wasn’t much of a “give a handshake to everyone you meet” kind of person. He just looked up and introduced himself, “Im Elliot. Elliot Walters.” He looked at her with his deep blue eyes, he was thinking. There was something about her, something different than other humans. Something…special. He wasn’t getting a crush on her; he didn't crushes on people. But he just thought that she wasn’t normal. Then her speaking interrupted his thoughts.
He laughed a little. It wasn’t exactly what he had in mind if he were going to talk about her; but, maybe the ditzy part would have somehow made it in there. “Yeah, now all I have to do is go to a bar and find some random guys to talk to.” Bars weren’t really his place of choice, and he didn't have a lot of friends, at least not a lot of good friends. He, personally, couldn’t understand why. But he didn't care.
((sorry, this ones yuck sauce))

"Well, nice to meet you Elliot Walters" Katie said, as she put her hand back down, when she realised he wasn't about to shake it. Although she should have guessed as much when she found out before he wasn't one for manners. However she wasn't going to make a fuss of it, she didn't see the point. After all, she was pretty much alone with this guy, the last thing she wanted to do was go upsetting him. Anything could happen.
She had been teasing him about what he would say to the guys at the pub of course. He didn't comment on anything she'd said, so she figured he wouldn't have said anything like that at all, or he would have and didn't want to agree with her. Either way Katie didn't really care, not like she'd be meeting any of his friends any time soon, and she doubted she'd meet him again any time soon either.
"Oh, so I'm spoiling your bar fun?" she asked, almost grinning slightly, "Well you know, don't let me stop you from finding a bar with some random guys in it" she added as she began to laugh a little.

“Its nice to meet you as well,” He told her. Then she went on about the bar. “Trust me, it would take a lot more than you. No offense,” He said to her. He was joking of course, but he was somewhat serious. Seriously, what could she do? If she tried to do anything he could just freeze her and as far as he knew she was a normal human, meaning she couldn’t do much.
He thought for a second before speaking again. She was kind of interesting to him and he thought that maybe he would get to know more about her. He wasn’t sure if they would ever see each other again and so he was going to find out all he could.
“I hope you don’t mind my asking, but what do you do? Job wise?” Maybe he should have asked about her family or if she had any pets first, but when he opened his mouth that was the first question that came out. Oh well, maybe next question. That is, if she answered this one.

Katie smiled when he said it was nice to meet her also. At least his bad manners didn't stretch too far she thought to herself with a slight inward giggle. Maybe he could be a friend she thought. He was good looking she couldn't deny that, but he just didn't have quite the right personality for Katie, at least not from the first impression anyway. Maybe he was one of these guys the more you got to know him, the better he became or something.
She laughed, "Well I'm glad, and no offense taken" Katie said when he said she wouldn't upset his bar fun. However, what she had meant was she thought she was keeping him from getting to a bar to be with his friends. It didn't matter however.
She was certainly glad to have got over her embarrassment with the fall. Which was good, you didn't need to be embarrassed when talking to someone. Then he asked what she did for a job. Of course right now she wasn't doing anything. She had been slacking, but she was going to join Primatech. That was what she was going to talk to Josh about, she needed a job so they could get their flat together.
"Actually right now I don't have a job, I stay with my parents, and well let's just say they never needed any extra money" she began, and blushed slightly, "But my twin and I Josh, we want to get a flat together, so I'm actually thinking of joining Primatech" Katie answered smiling at him. "What about yourself?" she asked, more or less asking the same question back to him.

Elliot listened as she answsered his question. The part about her not having a job at the moment didnt interest him at all. Neither did thousends of other people. The part that got his attention was when she said she wanted to join Primatech. That part was interesting...slightly. Then she asked about what he did for a job.
"Well, I work for Primatech," he said. What a coincidence. he thought to himself. She wanted to work for Primatech and he already worked for Primatech.
((sorry it took a while and its not even that good))

[ooc: Dont worry about it, had heaps of posts to make anyway]
Katie wasn't sure what he had thought about her not working, but since he hadn't mentioned anything about, she figured he either didn't mind, or simply didn't care. It was probably the latter given that he was a little on the, well she couldn't quite think of the word to describe him, but she just had a feeling it was the latter.
She had then told hm about wanting to work for Primatech, and that was when she thought she had sparked an interest in him, just by his reaction. She soon realised why when he said he worked for Primatech. Her eyes opened wide, and she smiled, "Oh, you do?" she asked, wondering if he'd be able to tell her anything about the place.
Then again, she wasn't sure she should, because knowing her luck, he would say how awful it was and how terrible a woman Angela Petrelli was, when she in fact thought the woman was doing good.
"So, do you like working there?" she ended up asking, she couldn't not ask, she was just too interested in the fact he was working in the very place she wanted to get a start in.

When Elliot told her that he worked for Primatech he didn't think that she would react that way. He was a little scared, but he didn't show it. Not many people stared at him wide-eyed and smiled at him. It was sort of…weird. “Yeah, I do.” he told her. Then she asked if he liked working at the Company. He had to think about that one for a little bit.
“I must say: I love it.” he was being honest, he did love it. Well, most of it. Some of it he could do without. That whole partner thing for example. Yeah, not one of his favorite policies. “But Ive only been working there for two years now. Who knows, maybe I’ll grow to hate it. I think I can stil remember my first day even.” He said. He wasn’t going into detail because then he would have to explain how he got them to hire him and that was not a subject he wanted to delve into. It wasn’t one of his happiest moments.

Katie hadn't really meant to act so happy about the fact he worked in Primatech, but really at the same time, she couldn't help herself. It just seemed really funny she should bump into someone who worked at the very place she wanted to get a job in herself.
She just dropped the Bambi eye expression and gave him a smile when he repeated that he did indeed work there. She became far more interested in what he would have to say now, if he did indeed say anything about working there.
Which of course he did.
"Well it's good you enjoy it so much, I was hoping you'd say that" she said smiling. "Two years isn't so long, no, but usually if you don't like a job, you know pretty much from the beginning, but yeah I understand that you could grow to hate it of course" she said with an understanding smile. She was now beginning to feel glad about bumping into this guy, even if that was literally. Okay so he was a bit off with manners, but he worked in the very place she wanted to work in. What could be so bad about that?
