(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.)

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?)

[professorlionface]

[Cross, there are so many kinds of planes you just don't know.]

An X-Jet, to be specific.

[ioudas]

(what is this magic. he doesn't like this.)

Shouldn't they be more in an cross shape to fly?

[professorlionface]

It is. We just have a silly habit of prefixing all of our belongings rather particularly.

[ioudas]

.... You're not setting yourself up for success here.

[professorlionface]

You do know a cross is simply an X at a different angle, yes?

[ioudas]

(he doesn't say anything, save simply pointing to his face at the large cross in his mask.)

[professorlionface]

[Hank shrugs. He'd actually never seen that cross hiding under those red bangs before.]

Well, that's only one shape they've been known to take. Roman crucifixions also featured more X-shaped crosses as well.

[ioudas]

(oh, he hides it again.)

Really, you're going to lecture me on crosses. No, go on.

[professorlionface]

[Hank just shrugs.]

Well it seemed like you were trying to subtly make a point there.

[ioudas]

Are we going to go or are we going to have an argument about the representation of the cross?

[professorlionface]

If you're going to stop poking fun at our calling it an X-Jet.

[He hails a cab.] We'll have to get to the Bronx first if we're taking it.

[ioudas]

By all means, after you. This is your town, after all. (more like he's giddy to go FLYING in the air.)

[professorlionface]

[He climbs into the back of the cab, but he kind of takes up a lot of it with his size.]

You alright with splitting the fare?

[ioudas]

(oh hank, you have no idea who you're dealing with.)

Sure, why not?

[professorlionface]

Well, it's only reasonable!

[The trip's about forty-five minutes in traffic, but soon enough they're in front of the Institute and the driver's telling them their fare.]
