(OPEN. PARTY PARTY PARTY.)

[ioudas]

WHO: cross marian (ioudas) & you!!
WHERE: all around the city.
WHEN: july 31st
WARNINGS: ... it's cross. so. many.
SUMMARY: it's cross's birthday and he's celebrating it like people in the future would!!
FORMAT: actionspam to start and your choice after 8)!



(it is absolutely not common that you end up in the future for your birthday. in fact, despite the discrepancy with his own age back home, cross was actually milking this for all it was worth. when he found out that people actually give you free stuff. a little charm here and a little flirting there, he's got so much free stuff that he doesn't know what to do with it.

what's more, at the moment he's just too excited to spend his birthday not wondering if someone at a party is going to try and kill him. so, throwing caution to the wind, just let the party begin! he's in various locations doing various things.)

Comments

[ioudas]

No, no, he can find his way home. I'll bring him back a wine cooler and some cigarettes for being such a good boy.

(timcampy gives a small wiggle of his fat butt before nuzzling cross's face and zooming off home.)

Here's hoping he doesn't terrorize a hot dog truck.

[Hank watches him zip away with a wave, frowning a little.]

Is that a legitimate concern?

[ioudas]

Once, he ate an entire date cart when we were in Morocco. I've never spent so much on something that didn't end me up flat on my back.

[professorlionface]

And you don't think it would be wiser to supervise his return?

[ioudas]

He'll be fine. Maybe.

[professorlionface]

I'm perfectly overwhelmed with confidence.

[ioudas]

Timcampy usually takes care of me. He'll be just fine. (really, he wants something good to eat.) I'm thinking steak.

[professorlionface]

I imagine that makes you two quite the pair. [But the little guy's already gone, no point agonizing over it too much. Instead, he heads on down the path.]

But you're in luck, I know of a few decent places just a few blocks away. Finding a good steak in the City is never much of a challenge!

[ioudas]

Perhaps we should do something challenging? Life is too short.

[professorlionface]

You want to see if we can find a good steak in New Jersey instead?

[ioudas]

Will it end in adventure?

[professorlionface]

Probably! You can never tell with Jersey.

[ioudas]

Is that quite common? I haven't been to the States in years.

[professorlionface]

Some parts more than others. The pioneering spirit has largely moved in different directions, but you can still count on a certain unpredictability in specific areas.

[ioudas]

The North America branch did seem full of itself the last time I was there, but they're Canadians. You know how they get.

[professorlionface]

Canadians can be very troubling, yes. Though I suspect I'm familiar with it in different ways than you are.

[ioudas]

Well, the Canadian I know at least tends to be a little rough.

[professorlionface]

Oh? Which one is that?

[ioudas]

Argh, remind me to tell you about her some time.

[professorlionface]

Is she here or from your home? Most of the Canadians I know of here in the City originate from my own home universe, actually.

[ioudas]

(he shakes his head, really he doesn't like to talk about Renee (or was she American and he was an ass who barely remembered where she was from.) From my home world, yeah. A piece of work, that one.

[professorlionface]

Well, there's always now, if you want to talk about her.

[He takes a look at the street they've come out at, planning the next move.] Do you think we should take a taxi? Not exactly adventurous, but it's an option...

[ioudas]

She thinks about glory more than humanity. Don't ruin a great day, yeah?

(he shrugs.) Sure, or we could take a plane?

[professorlionface]

[He snaps his fingers, excitement spreading into his face.] You know, I actually have access to a mini-jet! We'd have to head to the Bronx to fetch it, and parking can be murder, but...

[ioudas]

... A mini-jet? (he actually looks shocked because isn't there really only one type of airplane?)
