Vincent stopped outside of the large house with a smiling sun on the door with the words "John's Paris Abri". John looked down at the paper the father had given him for the millionth time and nodded, he was in the right place.
Walking up to the door he pulled the bell.

John ran downstairs with a basket full of socks in his hand and tripped down the last stair, spewing the socks across the floor. Blinking hard, he decided that it was all right and there was nothing to get upset about and looked around, for his daughter "Marie, darling, could you clean these up for me? I need to get the door."
Hopping up from the game of checkers she was playing with another girl she jogged over to her father "Sure thing Papa, but you need to learn to be more careful" she tsk'd and began to clean up the socks.
John went over to the door and opened it, what he saw wasn't exactly what he imagined seeing "Why hello there, can I help you?"

Vincent put on his most comforting smile, he didn't want to scare anyone "You John Bristow?"

John returned the smile "Yes I am, what can I do for you today Mr...?"

John's initial reaction no longer seemed relevant and his shoulders loosened up "Of course! We could always use help around here, come in, come in!" He leaned Vincent in to the house and headed in to the kitchen "Would you like something to drink Mr. Dawson?"

"Uh water's fine" he replied a little nervously, which of course shocked him, when was he ever nervous? "S'nice place you got 'ere, I mean fer a, a-"

*The girl was elbow deep in suds, sleeves rolled up and hair pin on the top of her head to minimize the soapy carnage. It had been so wonderful to have a place, somewhere she belonged and could be useful. John had been nothing but kind to her and she was deeply appreciative. Hearing him enter, she flashed him a smile, but seeing the other man it quickly faded. Her eyes lingered on him though, wide and knowing. Biting her lip, she quickly turned back to the dishes.*
((I assume he's killed people at some point, no? How many are we talking?))

((A lot, I don't have an exact number of course, but somewhere between 50-100))
"-A homeless shelter" he smiled "don't worry about it." John poured Vincent a glass of water and turned to Lost, who had just turned away from Vincent with an odd look. He sighed "Mr. Dawson, I think I've got something for you to do, we have a garden you see, but it's overrun with weeds and plants and it's just not safe for the children to play out there. I've been meaning to clean it up and put in the stone, I've even got a blue print for what I've been wanting to do with it, I just simply haven't the time."

Vincent smiled, that's the kind of work he was looking for, something that would work him, make him sweat and take his mind off of everything "I can do that govn'a" he replied "you get me that plan an' I could 'ave it done before the day is through."

John's face light up "Truely? Oh wonderful, wonderful, uhhh the-" but before he could say anything Marie ran in to the the kitchen breathless "Papa! Papa there's a lady at the door, her arm is hurt really bad! Come on, hurry!"
John's brow furrowed "All right, Lost dear, the plans for the backyard is in my office in the top drawer of my desk, could you get those for Mr. Dawson and then show him where the gardening supplies are? Thanks" before she could answer he ran off with Marie to see what was going on.

((I squee so much. Thank you. <3))
*The girl spun to answer. Well, to protest really. But there wasn't any time for that as John disappeared and she was left alone with the man. And the rest of them. Her parted lips clamped shut and pursed for a moment. Drying her hands, she nodded tightly and murmured something about going to fetch them. She was careful to watch the floor, her eyes safely averted from him. There were just too many of them. Fear infused her, her brain trying to sort out what someone like him was doing here. It was hard to believe it was anything good. She turned on her heel and head for the door, ready to escape him, even if she would have to deal with him again. She just needed a breath, a moment to prepare to deal with him.*

((You're welcome )) Vincent went to say thank you, but it seemed the girl had all ready disappeared up the stairs. He sighed, took a long drink from his cup and stared down at the floor. He was trying his best not to scare anyone, and he was sure that the girl wasn't like that to everyone. He of course only could assume, but his gut told him, that it was him. But he'd show her and everyone that he was good, no matter what.

*It wasn't too long before the girl was back, a bit more collected. She licked her lips briefly before holding out the papers to him. She still kept her eyes low, but she seemed more prepared to deal with the situation.*
"If you'll just...follow me." *She offered softly, turning to lead the man out back.*

"All roight" he smiled and looked down at the plans, they were simple yet complicated and Vincent felt a sort of pride swell up in his gut, he was needed here, he could do this.
As they made it outside he realized exactly the situation that the owner had been in, with all he had to take care of, fixing the mess that was the garden couldn't be on the top of his list. They got to the tool shed quickly enough and Vincent pulled it open, it didn't look like it had been opened in at least 100 years, but everything seemed new enough. He turned to Lost and took a deep breath "Thank you, er Miss Los-tt" he stuttered and shook his head.
He didn't stutter, at least anymore, why in gods name was he so nervous? What the 'ell is wrong wif me?.
