I'm sorry I've not been on for awhile. I been having computer issues. I'm up now though.


I'm a worker

The WIC Lady, Luna Hornsworth, was right. They pay my rent, but they don't pay for heating, water, or electricity.
They send me food once a month, three cans of stuff and some type of meat, I can't read the label. One day on the box of food they sent me there was a letter. I had to find someone two read it for me.

The Letter- Hello,

We have word that no one in your in employed, voluteer, any type of skill training, or school. Please do either of the four option or you will be disconnected.

Your truly Women, Infants, and Child

I can't go to school though, because it is too dangerous. Plus my teacher thinks I'm stupid anyway, how do I know?
The last time I went to school she won't look my way, accept my papers, or answer my questions in class. An when I got upset and had a tantrum, she called the police and I couldn't go to school for the next two years. It's has only been one year.

The training Dad went to only allows 15 to 30 year olds. They even told me themselves that I wasn't 'eligible' because of my age. In the fact that I didn't have permission done to my 'record' meant that I was not eligible even if I was 15 yr of age.
Luna- Opens the door to Vinny's apartment, she made herself a key. She steps one wet foot, from the rain outside, into the house and shivers. Even though it is May. Goes into the bedroom and wakes Vinny up form his slumper. "Hey, there, Shouldn't you turn the heat up? It's pretty chilly in here."

vinny-Looks up at her. "Why are you here?"

Luna- "Will I came to give up a bus card and too say were going to see your daddy." She cheered, trying to cheer the him up. "Come on we're going to miss your appointment.

Vinny- "Okay." He jumps of the bed and follows her out the door. Down the stairs and to the silver car owned by Luna. As they drive Vinny looks at the back of Luna's head, thinking. "How did mom die?"

Luna- "A car accident." She doesn't go any further.

Vinny- "We don't have a car."

Luna- "She was hit crossing the street to the bus."

Vinny- "Who hit her?" Theirs eyes meet as thunder and lighting roars out side, putting some light into the darkened car.
Even though it was noon the dark skies made the skies dark, windy, chilly, and just the normal day of Gotham. The forever night city.

Luna- "She got away, everyone at the bus stop say the driver, but see was too fast for cops."

Vinny-"Oh" His eyes drop down as the tense silence build for a few more minutes, until the car was placed in park.

Luna- "We're here." As she steps out the car a chill hits her, but it is not the cold. It is the feel of arkham aslyum, home for the criminally insane. She opens the car door, grabs Vinny's hand tight. Her instincts telling her to run, leave, get out, or else.

Vinny- His dull eyes take in the sights as he is dragged to his father. Outside the place looks like Dracula's trees dead or dying with there leaves blowing in the wind. The grass a weird aqua/gray hue of color. As he came closer he could hear the moans of the inmate. Dragged up the cracked, broken steps and thought dungeon like doors. He is dragged to an office like area. The place looked like the dungeon dooms waiting office, cracked tile, straps on some of the sits. The flicking lights, everywhere. As Luna grabs his hand again, he didn't realize that she had let him go. He laid into the hall, door after door , Sounds inside some. Luna turns a corner into a hall that says Level D, and into a room. As they, the huge orderly that was at the entrance to the hall,
Open the door and push him through before shutting the door. The room was standard, cot with sheet, toilet, and tabled with chair. Vinny look at the third person in the room "Hello dad."

Foxxy falls a sleep at her desk.
-

Rob- He looks at his son, dazed. The drugs in his system keeps him grounded, makes it hard to move and think. "Vinny" He's looking at Vinny, but not.
"How's your mum, and sis. Once I get off work, what do ya and your sissy say we pick up Mum and go to the park." He eyes look up glossy. "Yeah the park, that sound nice."

Vinny- Eyes watery, body and voice flows in a frightened shaky movement and tone. "Daddy, mum died and sis is still sleep." He fliches when he dad shouts.

Rob-"No, NO, NOOO." He grabs his head. "That's not true, your not my son who are you?" he says sweat dripping down a face of pure mania.
He charges.

Vinny- In a panic bolts from the room. The orderly grabs his father. Luna screams for him to come back. He doesn't hear her screams, pleas to return.
He see a door at the end of the hallway. He has his doubts, but still scared. He goes into the room that if he had time to think, he'd say had a royal design.
Vinny comes face to face with Nigel Yama.

Nigel- He is the new owner of Arkham Asylum, After Amadeus Arkham went insane. He came to inherit the building from his mothers side. His hazy eyes look into Vinny's brown own.
As he stand he raises a pale hand to move black hair out of he line of sight. "Why are you here?" He voice has a bit of power to it.

Vinny- Tells him his tale.

Nigel- Bin down to the crying child. In Nigel's eyes he sees a baby, surly no older then 4 or 5 years old. How needs help, but there was only one thing he knew he could give. Work. Nigel always believed money could fix alot of human woes. He could give the kid a small job and call it volunteer. That would give him food, warmth, and hopefully some time to fix some wrongs. "Hey, Hey. Don't cry I got a plan." He said

Vinny- " A-a plan?" His peachy kinda dirty hand rubs against his eyes to stop the tears.

Nigel- "If you volunteer for me, then you get to keep your home. I even throw in extra." He said with smirk when he say the child eyes light up.

Vinny- "Extra?" He tilts his head.

Nigel- "I'll pay you. Behind the counter, like a bonus, so you don't have to tell anyone about it." He makes a shhing movement. As he gets up to get a voulteer contact.

Vinny- "I can't read."

Nigel- "That alright, I think half orderlies can't either." He tells vinny how to sign.

Vinny- "okay" He signs his name on the dotted line.

Nigel- "You can start work now if you want."

Vinny- "Okay, but I have to tell Luna I want to volunteer here." He runs to the entrance, to Luna's car. To see her walking back inside.

Luna- Spots Vinny first. "Oh my god! Are you alright?"Looks him up and down.'Wait a minute, Vinny doesn't smile.' "Why are you smiling?" Said a little shocked at how creepy Vinny's smile is when he is wet, and the scene of Arkham take effect in the background.

Vinny- smiles even harder, to Luna dismay. She can't help but shiver like brezze had washed over her. He tell that he get to volunteer at Arkham.

Luna- Still shocked to a very high amount. "Are you sure?"

Vinny- nods.

Luna- sighs and shakes her head. "Okay, but if you need anything just call." She gives him a government call phone and gets in her car to finnally.

Vinny- He waves and walked back into the learning he'd be working in level F, where the patients can come and go as they please, that he would be clean up, and that he would be paid $50 dollars a day.

All Vinny has to say is, "I'm a worker."
