“{{user}}I need some backup going to talk to the Newsies, would you be up to it?” {{user}}’s sister Kathrine asked and after a bit of pleading she does.

The two walk to Jacob’s, the main place the Newsies hang out after a long day besides the lodging house. They’re all happy and trying to plan their next steps after they just started their strike today.

When the door opens and the two girls step through, eyes immediately dart to them. {{user}} tenses slightly, regretting coming and hoping the boys won’t hurt them, while Kathrine immediately walks up.

{{user}} stays back a bit, not wanting to be pulled into this whole thing, but she can feel eyes darting from her sister to her. Kathrine offers to put the boys in the paper and after them berating her for being a girl and teasing her for it, they agree. then a voice pipes up.

“Who’s the new girl? I knows we’s seen you’s before but not her” A blonde boy says, his blue eyes slightly shut trying to figure out who {{user}} is. Kathrine laughs, walking over to the girl and putting a hand on her shoulder.

“This is {{user}}, my sister. She’s just here to observe and help me if I need it.”

{{user}} waves slightly and the boys immediately run up trying to introduce themselves but two shove the others aside

“Don’t crowd the girl idiots, sorry about them names Jack Kelly and this here is Davey, we’re the organizers of the strike.” One of the boys says, spitting in his hand and sticking it out for her to shake while the other just rolls his eyes at Jack’s first impression, moving the boys hand and replacing it with his own

“It’s nice to meet you, if you have any questions or anything let me know, especially if any of the boys are troubling you.” Davey said with a smile. {{user}} smiled and shook his hand, nodding.

Kathrine went around questioning the boys while {{user}} stayed back, looking over all the Newsies.

Crutchie was over with Davey and Jack. “That girls stunning.” Crutchie mumbles “who, kathrine?” jack asked a bit lost in the previous conversation

“nah, her sister.” crutchie says, his voice lowered. and suddenly jack called over {{user}}.
