(no subject)

Who: Kurt Wagner [livejournal.com profile] in_likeflynn and James Bond [livejournal.com profile] doubleoohbaby
Where:Somewhere... Out. On the town.
When: Evening of Sunday, May 9th
Warnings: James Bond?
Summary: Nightcrawler and James Bond are going to hang out. Bond is probably a more socially adventurous person than Kurt, but come on. It's 007. You can't pass that up.
Format: Paragraphs~ (to begin, at least)

Given the line of questioning that Bond had put upon him once they'd attempted to set up this meeting, about picking up women, Kurt wasn't sure what to think about the evening's possibilities. He'd seemed mostly a decent gentleman, however, and he was an adventuring sort of man. That was his own understanding, at least. Though... He wasn't sure how different movies and books with different writers and actors might translate into a real-life figure. That, in itself, was interesting!

In fact, he wondered how the same concept might apply to himself. Someone, at some point, had mentioned that they might be fictional in other places, and... It was easier to not consider it. Now was not the time, anyway.

Now was the time for waiting. He'd arrived where he'd arranged to meet the other fellow promptly, dressed nicely enough, and stood outside of the door casually, tail swaying and generally feeling cheerful. He had mentioned to Mr. Bond that he had a number of very unusual characteristics, but he couldn't remember if he'd actually been seen over the Network. Either way, he doubted he would be difficult to miss.

To James' credit, he was far too used to being picked out as famous and undoubtedly fictional for it to really bother him any more in this city. In fact, he liked to think very little in this place could phase him any more considering he's learnt to live with the motto of expect the unexpected. Which would be why his approach to their meeting point might not be quite as much of an over-reaction as it may be from others, even if he hadn't quite been expecting the sight that Kurt brings.

By the time Bond's near, there's little more than an interested eyebrow arch from him, adjusting the cuffs on his overly-expensive tailored suit before offering out a hand to shake towards the other. Bond's an equal opportunities kind of guy these days. A new Bond for a new era and all that. And he's already well aware this city brings in more than just your average looking human.

"Mr. Wagner, I take it? I hope I haven't kept you." Even his tone is light and welcoming.

"In that case, call me James," he replies, shaking hands with a firm- but not overly so- grip as he spares one finally quick look over the other. The style works for Kurt, especially the lack of shoes, which Bond can't really blame him for all things considered.

It's should be a good look for the both them, he assumes, as pairings go. Slick english gentleman and charming, german blue guy. They'll certainly turn some heads, which is the important thing. "Must get quite a bit of attention as it is with looks like those."

"Then I think we're in for a good night," James smirks in response, jerking his head towards the entrance of the bar and gesturing for Kurt to go first. If they turn any heads tonight, Bond gets the feeling it won't be because he looks like that famous British actor bloke that plays 007.

The establishment seems to have more than a fair few imports, which will hopefully keep Kurt happy and James at the same time. Bond is a bit of a self-confessed alcohol connoisseur so he tends to veer towards the bars with the better quality stuff. Bottles of American beer are fine every now and then but really, he'd rather be drinking the hard stuff.

"Bar for now. Quick refills and better viewing spot," he answers, following Kurt in. James has done this sort of thing far too many times not to be an expert of arrangements, but he's always been the sort of man who can walk into a bar, pick out someone and have them in bed within the hour.

The stool next to Kurt is soon occupied by James as he casually slides onto it, already doing a quick scan of the bar from their viewpoint. There's still a fair few staring faces and Bond catches the eyes of one table of girls and smiles pleasantly before turning his attention forwards again.

Alcohol has been mentioned and that's the most important thing right now. "Well, we'll go for something German first, shall we? Only fair," he decides as he waves down a nearby bartender, ignoring the fact Kurt has already stated he's not much for liquor while ordering two glasses of Jägermeister. Strong stuff.

"So where abouts in Germany are you originally from?" James sounds genuinely interested to know.

"Bavaria? Beautiful. Been there a few times myself, mostly for the climbing," he mentions cheerfully, reaching for his glass and taking a lasting sip of his liquor, pausing to let it streak a burning path down his throat.

The easy pause in conversation even gives him just enough time to glance back over at that table of girls again, letting them catch his gaze, smile, then turn straight back to Kurt once more. "West Berlin, myself. Not exactly as British as most think." Yes, Kurt, technically Bond is a German. Blonde haired, blue eyed and all.

With a grin like that from Kurt, Bond can't help but return it for a second before falling back into a comfortable smile. Between all the smooth lines, charming women and causing mass explosions, there's times that James just likes to sit back and talk, which seems like such a rarity to him, "Longer than you'd think. Parents travelled a lot, so I spent most of my early years around Germany and Switzerland. Small world, hm?"

At least his origin explains to some extent why he's fluent in quite so many European languages, but it doesn't really seem to show why he's also perfectly English. Still, he needs no excuse for that.

"Were you still in Germany back home or had you exported yourself over to America?"

"Ah, seems to be a lot of mutants in this world too. You've all transferred over," said without any form of judgement and the like. They're all imports. Same difference in his books. "We didn't have that back where I come from. Just generic humans and a slightly odd looking henchman every now and then..."

James Bond didn't need mutant powers. He was a power unto himself back in his home world, not to mention his control over luck being a little too freakish at times.

There's a short nod from James as he stares down at his glass, pausing and then downing the rest of it in one. "Suppose I'm not. Perhaps not as experienced with it all as you may think." After all, James has heard tales of what his counterparts have been up to.

"I try and save the 'villainous plots' to the action heroes, I'm afraid." Because Bond doesn't really see himself as one of those. Certainly not the 'hero' part.

James' own smile seems genuine enough to counter any silent apologising from Kurt. He's already heard it all before in regards to his own canon, so a few questions and assumptions here and there aren't worth worrying about.

"Incredibly silly, in fact," he agrees. "The heroes and villains are just as bad as each other in this place. If it isn't high moral standing speeches and red spandex and capes, it's expensive dining accompanied with long monologues about villainous plots." Which is an experience James has been through with one villain that he doesn't care to revisit.

"Oh, absolutely, we're all as bad as each other," he nods in return lightly, an amused smirk at his lips as he downs the rest of his drink. The subject of heroes and villains was one that had always interested him and no doubt he could discuss it for hours, but they've got more important things to think about tonight...

There's a subtle jerk of his head towards a table just off behind them, "Speaking of heroes, there's more than a few import friendly ladies over there, if their constant stares are anything to go by, Hero."
