Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 2:07 am"I'm supposed to make some sort of 'most important meal of the day' comment right now, aren't I?" Cal asked, cutting his sausage up. He took a bite, letting that comment hang for a moment. "So what's really wrong?"
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 8:57 pm"Nothing." Aisha said "I'm just tired of being a freak."
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 9:01 pm"Something happen?" Cal asked, trying to buy time. He had the feeling that he needed to do SOMETHING to make her feel better, but what could he do?
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 11:01 pm"Just a lot of little stuff." Aisha said "Mostly thinking that people can see my clothes, and then finding out I've messed up and gone invisible."
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 11:06 pm"Hey, at least they can see your clothes now, right?" Cal said. "Pretty soon you'll have it down and you won't need to hang around with me anymore."
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 11:26 pm"Not right now." Aisha said "It took me forever to get my food."
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 11:38 pm"Well, at least you can do it, right?" he said, grasping at whatever he could use. "I mean, it's getting better. So you'll be able to be one of the cool kids again pretty soon."

Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 11:40 pm"Yeah, I guess." Aisha said "Its either that or become a supervillain."
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 11:41 pm"Pfff, please, you won't even let me keep my lawsuit money, you wouldn't make a good supervillian."

Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 11:46 pm"What if I'm a vigilante who only punishes the evil?"
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 11:48 pm"It depends," Cal admitted, thinking about it.
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 11:54 pm"Y'know, like Batman, or Rorschach." Aisha continued "It might be my only option."
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2012 11:55 pm"Or Catwoman?" Cal suggested, fighting back a smirk without much success.
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 12:07 am"She's a jewel thief." Aisha pointed out.
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 12:30 am"She goes back and forth," he countered. "Swings both ways! And... I should quit before I'm too far behind, shouldn't I."
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 12:44 am"yes, you probably should." Aisha said "Unless you want a stern transatlantic call from my Daddy."
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 12:53 am"Riiiight, because I'm such a threat," Cal said with a smirk.
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 1:25 am"Well, that and you're scared of your girlfriend."
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 1:37 amCal just rolled his eyes at that. "Yeah, right. Girlfriend."
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 1:48 am"Yeah, yeah, ok, I know. Totally not serious." Aisha said, rolling her eyes.
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 2:01 am"Well, as soon as there's some hot or buff guy around, I'm being introduced as her friend, so... yeah."
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 8:35 pm"Have you talked to her?"
Re: Breakfast of Champions
Posted: Sat Nov 03, 2012 10:34 pmCal scoffed. "About what? I've known her for what, a week? It is what it is."
