Rock Hunter (tag Santo)

Cleo Sinclair was walking, her hands in her pockets and a backpack strapped to her back. The backpack was full of hamburgers (some of them disturbingly close to raw), and she was looking for... something.

Anything, really.

Okay, maybe she'd just needed desperately to get out of the building and move. Thankfully, Connor was busy mucking out the ( Read more... )

Mutant town wasn't exactly the safest place to be at the moment. Although the mess at the Devil's Due had been mopped up for quite a while by the Avengers, lots of Leaguers were still popping up here and there to spew their hatred. Just a few minutes ago, in fact, an elderly woman on her stoop had hurled a few choice words his way. He'd shut her up with a threatening glance but the words still hung in the air. Santo kicked a can on the curb, sending it skittering down the sidewalk ( ... )

"Well, I'm not dead yet," Cleo announced cheerfully. "Despite the best efforts of the racist fuckheads. Speaking of racist fuckheads, have they been as much of a pain in the ass for you as they have for me today? I swear, you'd think they'd have a bit more survival instinct, but nooooo. You know, two of them tried to break in to the shop just after I finally talked my way out of the hospital? Grandma was pissed. Like, totally scary Wicked Witch of the West pissed. I think she fed them to her cats. Which is a good thing, because otherwise we'd have to use their bodies in the chili, and that'd suck."

She ran a hand through her red streaked hair and grinned, swinging the backpack around and unzipping it. "You want a burger?"

Santo pulled a burger from the bag and eyed it warily. "Um.. it's not.. y'know.. people.. is it?"

Cleo laughed. "Nope, at least not as far as I know. Although if you think about it, it could be something far worse than people in there."

Santo stopped in mid-chew and shrugged, figuring he'd had a pretty decent track record with Devil's Due burgers in the past. He continued chowing down as he walked, looking down at the cute girl keeping pace with him. "If you want fuckheads though, I've already had my share today. Had to put an old lady in her place earlier."

Cleo scoffed. "An old lady, huh? Big, tough guy like you, and the worst you've had is some old bag givin' you shit?" Santo looked down, suddenly ashamed. "Well yeah, but she was really mean and.. oh! These girls laughed at me too! And they were like way.."

The extremely skeptical look he was receiving from Cleo made him falter. "So.. yeah.."

((OOC: Please keep in mind that you should not be using another players's characters (or a Storyteller's NPC) without permission. It is one thing to move them around a bit, but quite another to write dialogue and decide on their reactions))

Cleo dug out a burger of her own and bit into it, a little blood running down her chin. "Of course," she said, "little old ladies can be surprisingly dangerous. Take my grandma... please. Badambam." She mimed doing a drum roll with her hands. "That was a joke. You're supposed to laugh." She ran a finger up her chin, catching the blood, and sucked it off. "Sorry, I like my meat bloody. But no humans. Do you have any idea how much unhealthy crap builds up in even the most health concious of the humans? There's junk in everything they eat, in the air they breath, in the water they drink." She made a face. "I wouldn't eat a human on a bet. They taste nasty." Cleo took another bite from her burger and smiled at a man who started hurling insults at the pair ( ... )
