Misty Knight, I am your man!

Jan 08, 2006 00:34

The lights are low - not to create a romantic atmosphere, but so the diners can't see who's sitting at nearby tables. The menu is in Turkish with some grease-pencil bits of both German and Arabic scrawled into the margins, and the occasional cell-phone number alongside surprisingly clear drawings on the back. Raven's already ordered a large plate ( Read more... )

"Seems like you've been looking quite forward to this moment." Misty says, with a sly grin back.

She lets the male mystique (Which, though attractive, still throws Misty off slightly) order for her, not knowing any of the languages on the menu, and trusting that she wouldn't try to ruin the date so early.

"So where has life taken you, recently?"

"I don't get out that often without either the minions or Mojo watching. I'd forgotton how charming Berlin is. It's a new city every time I see it."

She makes a subtle hand gesture to the waiter, who gives her a long, slow blink in reply without pausing from setting up his dish of sizzling meats on another table.

"Utah. I kid you not."

knight_misty January 8 2006, 05:49:04 UTC

"Utah?" Misty asks, trying to keep herself from letting out a low laugh.

"For you....hell, for most people, that seems like the kind of place you only end up in by being kidnapped. What were you doing in Utah?"

The waiter refills Raven's tea. He discretely slips a piece of paper under her napkin.

"Just checking in on some depowered mutant kids," Raven shrugs. "Try the goat. They have to import those spices."

"What about you? Heroes for hire doing anything interesting these days?"

OOC - Plot Thickeners ms_tique January 12 2006, 01:40:41 UTC

Flour, corn starch, the blood of unborn goats. We got options.

Since this is enjoyably lasting more than 2 hours on a Tuesday night, I thought I'd throw out some ideas for giving it a direction - that way you don't have to just wait for randomness on my part and decide how to react to it.

None of this is written in stone. It's just my cracked-out idea of the kind of stuff that happens if Mystique tries to take someone out on a date. Feel free to add to or change it, and to recommend any other directions you'd like to see things go.

So... I was thinking the amateur Ninjas on pogo-sticks are determined to have their sport taken seriously as an Olympic contender. They've been brushed off every year, and it's getting more than a little pathetic. In Salt Lake City, they were told pogo-Olympics would never fly because the tourists wouldn't sit still for it. They've been rejected from Athens and now Italy - so in their bitterness, they're taking it out on those evil bastards of the world tourists. In their demented minds, if they can ( ... )

That sounds friggin' hilarious. I'd love for other turned down potential olympic sports to somehow get involved too. Hell, why not have some murderous bridge players who want to get recognized by the Olympics too? The conflict that could occur there would be gold.

And Mystique is getting that kiss in whether Misty wants it or not, especially since she's spending the rest of the week away from NY.

Re: OOC - Plot Thickeners ms_tique January 12 2006, 02:08:38 UTC

I like it! Pogo, Brige, and maybe something with some actual dangerous potential, like women's shotputting. Perhaps there are even a few who used to side with them, like the Canadian Curling Team. Now that they're a recognized sport, they have disassociated themselves from the violence (and deny the whole "broke the feet of everyone in a grocery store" incident.)

According to the Internet (which would never lie to me!) the following five sports were rejected from application to the London 2012 Olympics: golf, roller sports, squash, rugby, and karate.

I'm picturing some serious damage done with custom golf irons, putting people's eyes out with handballs, and some disco dazzler wannabees on rollerskates. The Rugby and Karate people might actually be dangerous, but luckily, we're superheroes.

Well...kinda. :)

Re: OOC - Plot Thickeners knight_misty January 12 2006, 02:15:36 UTC

Secretly, my fantasy sport has always been futuristic Roller Derby Basketball (With some legal karate thrown in). Just a thought that came to mind.

Excellent. A bunch of rejected olympic hopefuls shall start a shitstorm, then, is the general direction of the plot now?

Everyone loves a chase scene! ms_tique January 12 2006, 02:37:04 UTC

The police officer takes the "passport" without question. He seems completely unconcerned with the bleeding Pogo-Ninja's below. Raven loops an arm around Misty's waist and leads her the rest of the way up the stairs and out into the crisp night air ( ... )

Re: Everyone loves a chase scene! knight_misty January 12 2006, 02:42:46 UTC

Misty gives another smirk at Mystique, but lets her wrap her arm around, as she hasn't really pushed the envelope. Yet.

"Yeah, it's just around - unfortunately, no fancy stuff in it that allows me to call it to drive here. Fortunately, it's max speed of 300 miles per hour makes up for that." She says with a very content smile, taking the ice cream bar and eating it quickly. She pulls out a packet of beef jerky and hands it over to Mystique, just in case she's still hungry after the ice cream.

"Gotcha. No littering, and no jaywalking."

She takes one last bite of the ice cream bar and swallows.

"Ready to go?"

Re: Everyone loves a chase scene! ms_tique January 12 2006, 03:10:50 UTC

Raven's eyes widen at the beef jerky. "I think I'm in love." She gnaws off a bite, enjoying the tangy salt flavor. The jerky's stiff as leather. It'll take all night to chew her way through the whole stick. "To hell with it," she mutters. The skin of her abdomen folds back. She breaks the jerky into several small pieces and feeds them directly into her stomach. "Much better!" She sighs. "That's a lifesaver."

"I'm ready whenever you are, beautiful." She forces herself not to leer as she hops on the back of the bike, opening her arms wide to give Misty plenty of room to slide on in front of her. Raven's been looking forward to this part of the night since a pogo-stick was bounced on her head.

Re: Everyone loves a chase scene! knight_misty January 12 2006, 03:13:31 UTC

"Alright...you're the official backseat driver, because I do not know where we're going."

And with a turn of the key, a twist of the handles, they are off.

Answer the questions and won't get hurt. Much. ms_tique January 19 2006, 03:55:23 UTC

"Let's let the crowd disperse a little. You watch these idiots and I'll gather up the change. Otherwise, the bored tourists will stay huddled around us for hours."

Mystique reaches into her jacket and appears to pull out a jester's cap. She kicks the fallen pogo-Ninja in the kidneys, winks once at a frowning matron, and proceeds to pick up thrown coins and knives.

Bridge players with custom throwing knives? Kids on pogo sticks dressed as Ninjas? She looked forward to a chance to get these people somewhere a little more private and ask just what the hell was going on.

Re: Answer the questions and won't get hurt. Much. knight_misty January 22 2006, 04:44:02 UTC

Misty nodded, letting the crowd do their applauding and thanking, and, thank god, their leaving. She kept an eye trained on the bridge players, then jerked a look at Mystique.

"So what's our plan from here?"

Re: Answer the questions and you won't get hurt. Much. ms_tique January 23 2006, 02:34:26 UTC

"Let's get them someplace a little more private for a few questions." She frowns. They're not all going to fit on the bike. "How far away is your hotel?"

Re: Answer the questions and you won't get hurt. Much. knight_misty January 23 2006, 03:35:34 UTC

"'Bout a mile or so. Maybe you could hail a cab?"
