(EP) "You say easily amused like it's a bad thing..."

Jan 07, 2010 05:22

((OO_MTH: Your father's precepts...))

Video games are the refuge of the damned. For Shawn, they're a way of allieviating boredom during long plane rides or endless nights where he's too wired to sleep.

Thusly distracted by his copy of Super Mario World 2, He's not really looking as he reaches for the revolving glass door of the Hilton....

Samantha really doesn't want any inconveniences this morning. She's finally lined up a decent job--well, decent by her standards--and timing is, as it often is, crucial. So she's more than a little annoyed when she suddenly has company in the elevator.

Of course, she does enjoy a challenge.

"Get lost on your way to the Elvis convention?" she asks.

Shawn's ready to give her a smartass answer, without even looking up.

"...Look, I'm off the clock so..." That's when he notices the change of light and temperature. He steps down off of the bench with a frown, dragging his suitcase behind him.

"Do I even want to know what the hell just happened..." then he looks at Sam.

Up and down.

Sunglasses tilt, plus charming smile.

"..pretty lady?"

His Elvis sort of sucks.

Sam has seen that sort of look before. In fact, she has a version of her own that she fires right back at him. Guaranteed to cloud men's minds. "That depends on how badly you want to take me for a drink later."

Shawn knows that kind of look, too. It's the kind a groupie gives you just before she gives you a dosed-up drink and you wake up the next morning, sans your wallet and Rolex. He's not going there again.

...But he can't say he's not intrigued.

The sunglasses come off. "Got all the time in the world, darlin'." He looks around himself. "Can't say I've got all the money, but a classy place like this has to have a tab system, right?"

He's watching her verrrry carefully.

Oh, this is almost as good as seeing Shawn meet Sam Axe.

Shawn's aware of her watching. It gets her an elbow in the side - a very gentle one, 'cause she's a girl, and you don't hit girls (unless you're being paid to). "Hey, gimmie a break. I once saw the Hulk and take out two city blocks. Have to admit - compared to that, this is downright peaceful."

"What, Hulk Hogan?" Samantha asks.

workswithshoots March 7 2010, 11:19:59 UTC

He chortles. "No, The Hulk. Green guy, muscles, keeps promising to smash stuff."

Shawn named Spider-Man, so he and superheroes go way back.

He winces. "Don't mention that guy's name to me. He still owes me ten bucks on the motel room we shared in '77. Took my last Corona and the girl I was eyeing all night."
