Ice Cream. The secret to happiness is Ice Cream, at least Jackie thought that as a child, as he stands by the pier watching the world dressed in a long black trenchcoat, his hands are deep in the pockets of it, as he exhales the smoke from that marb red, his eyes deep blue scanning the boardwalk, as he licks a vanilla ice cream cone with sprinkles, as his cigarette is flicked away into the water.

Jackie has a wide smile on his lips, looking his age for once 21 years old, without a care in the world at the moment, his hands in a pair of leather gloves, as he licks that ice cream, trying to get it before it melts. Quiet, at noon down there on a Wednesday, but sometimes one needs a moment to think, he has found his moment.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen comes walking along the boardwalk, wearing jeans and a video game t-shirt. He is smiling as just general happy with life. He stops along the way at the different carts and stores, buying food things. Which brings him to the ice cream place, and he moves to look over the different flavors. He hmms "How many scoops is the max?" He will ask them.

Jackie Estacado has posed:
Jackie is watches the world as he notcies the kid asking that question, he is in a good mood walking over to Mario."Hey Mario load him up it's on me." Jackie takes out a 100 dollar bill setting it down on the ice cream cart, as he nods at Bart with a grin."Only live once, he is going to get ya 10 scoops, it's his hidden talent, tell Mario whatcha want."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen will raise a brow a bit and says "Thanks, care for some salt water taffy?" He offers Jackie from the bag of stuff he has. He will look over and picks probably the oddest 10 flavors on the menu, and watches Mario work "I'm Bart ." He says to introduce himself.

Jackie Estacado has posed:
Jackie Estacado nods slowly watching the ice cream with a chuckle, as he shakes his head."Nah, I'm good. Jackie." His voice is cold, his eyes even colder as he looks over at Bart."Kiddo, shouldn't ya be like in school or some shit?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen looks over to the guy and says "I'm not a kid, am in college, and no classes today. Decided to come out and see something a bit brighter than where I have been living, Gotham can be a neat place but it can get rather dreary."

Jackie Estacado has posed:
Jackie Estacado watches Bart for a moment with a little chuckle, as he licks his ice cream slowly with a shake of his head."Yeah, Gotham sucks. Too much trouble, crime and murderous dickwads. Stay safe out there Bart, I mean kids get in trouble der all the time."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen sighs a bit at being called a kid yet again. He does take his ice cream and does a amazing job balancing it. He nods, a bit and says "I have seen a few thought about seeing about trying to help some kids there, but not sure about it, not a native and some of the kids resent that."

Jackie Estacado has posed:
Jackie Estacado nods slowly as his hand is runs along the side of his neck, as he cracks it slowly with a little chuckle."Good, helping out the world is a good thang right, I've never had the desire to do so. But good on ya."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen looks over as he starts on the ice cream "I try to help folks, mind you find helping animals a lot easier than helping people, why I work at the zoo." He comments on it "What do you do?" He asks the other gentleman.

Jackie Estacado has posed:
"I work for my family ya know, family business. Helping shit get sorted out." Jackie nods slowly watching the kid, as his phone goes off reading it slowly, with a wicked little chuckle."Let' dat is a trouble, I'm have to handle tonight, ya know I'm a the problem solver Bart, and helping animals sounds fun. Ya ever pet a lion?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, a bit and says "I help my family somewhat to, family is an important thing." He nods a bit in thought and brow raises a bit at the chuckle, and adds "Well not sure if you would call it petting officially but I have helped with most all of them, I am the new guy so just getting off poo detail."

Jackie Estacado has posed:
"Shit needs to be cleaned, otherwise it gums up the works. It's a noble job man." Jackie grins at Bart, as he takes out a cigrette from a gold case, offering one towards him."Smoke?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen shakes his head, and says "No thanks, I'm a runner, and bad lungs not good for that." He says giving his opinion on smoking but not pressing it "It is the starting point, and now I am getting to feed them as well sometimes."

Jackie Estacado has posed:
"Just remeber people bad for animals." Jackie nods slowly with a little dry chuckle, as he lights that cigrette exhaling it into the air, as he grins at Bart."I'm told, some of the crazy there want to use the zoo for clean up, I'm heading to gotham tonight. Do ya need a ride?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen looks over and shakes his head and says "I am good, I plan on being around here for a while longer, and has happened a couple times, but with the animal themed heroes and villains more likely to find them trying to take something from it, rather than drop something off.

Jackie Estacado has posed:
"I gotcha got work out there, going to be there for a few days it seems. Ever been to the Much Box, it's fucking epic." Jackie nods slowly, his hand is bringing that cigrette away from his lips as he fires a burst of smoke into the air, with a grin."Best in the early hours, fixes a hangover or a good night out with a sexy broad."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, a bit and says "Their hashbrowns with all the fixings are really good. I am often on the night shift at the zoo, so coming off work, it is a decent place to grab dinnerfast before heading home."

Jackie Estacado has posed:
"Dude yeah, it's my favorite spot after a midnight meet up." Jackie stops now, he is talking too much his eyes rolling around the room for a moment, as he bites his lip."Yeah, ya know it and you work at the night at the zoo, whats that like?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen says, "Quiet mostly, but there are a decent number of us there, it is interesting to get to see some of the animals more active than most people see them. Nocturnal animals take a lot of the time, and are the ones I get to feed more often than not."

Jackie Estacado has posed:
Jackie Estacado nods slowly as he exhales the smoke into the air, as his right hand is flicks that cigrette forward with a wicked little chuckle."I see, well see ya around kiddo. I'll be in gotham for a few days, if ya wanna grab breakfest, here." With that he flicks out a business card with just a number on it nothing more, as he waits for him."I aint' know many in gotham, ya got the hook up for the parties right?"

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen hmms and says "Not that many sadly between work and school, not a lot of time for the whole party scene, last one I went to was with a friend who took me out to see that thing at the hellfire club in New York for teenagers to be honest. He does take the card and makes mental note of it and that it is Jackie's number.

Jackie Estacado has posed:
"See ya around kiddo." With that Jackie is moving towards a brand new bmw 2020, parked way too close to the park, red like dried blood. His hand is pulling out his key to do that sensor thing, as he enters it starting the engine, as he guns it out of the area, driving like a manic.
